Secretary of State John Kerry about to push the Reset Button in the Middle East? Does that mean bad news for Israel?

Greg, Pat, and John continue the discussion of the events that are taking place in Israel on the Gaza border. Prophetic words have been shared about Secretary of State John Kerry’s communications with Israel and how the outcome for Jews and Christians does not end well. Secretary Kerry has threatened Israel with a third Intifada, urging Israel to have peace talks with Gaza. During this time, Israel was aware that tunnels were being dug underground for the purpose of terrorist actions against the peace of Israel. If Prime Minister Netanyahu was aware of these tunnels, then America was aware. All that is happening is simply screaming,”Alinsky Tactics!”. God can speak to every party involved. There are specific instances in the Bible that account how God can cause good outcomes in any situation. Amidst the confusion in the headlines, be encouraged as you get more clarity regarding what is happening in Israel, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Israel, Intifada, Benghazi, terrorism, and Hamas.

Prophesy: News Anchors will Be Shaken as they Report Perilous Upcoming World Events: God is Establishing His News Anchors who will Prophesy News even before it Happens, Power of God to Save, Heal and Deliver will come through media.

Greg, Pat, and John share an exciting and encouraging prophetic word given by Bill Yount, and Blowing the Shofar Ministries. God is going to deal with the whole concept of news. By simply not just reporting on the repetitious happenings throughout the world, God is raising up those who will declare peace, His perspective upon what is happening, and be witnesses to the world of the greatness of who He is.

“These anchormen and anchorwomen will come forth from deep waters of the unknown. They will not only report the perilous news but will have the treasures and the riches of Christ inside of them, so that the anointing of God will come right through the radio and television screens as people become convicted by their radiant countenance and peace in the midst of chaos.”

God is revealing and making known that He has His own plan of what He is going to do and declare His name mightily across the Globe. If we know the truth of God’s word, we must be bold witnesses to declare it to all of creation. As this word confirms much of what God has already made known, difficult days are ahead of us, BUT those who are the Lord’s will be directed on how to respond and what to do. Be greatly encouraged as you hear what the Spirit is saying to the church, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: John Paul Jackson, Perfect Storm, Prudent Preparation, USS Missouri, Bob Jones, Paul Keith Davis, Rick Joyner, Cuba, Russia, Homeland Security, prayer, and hope.

Greg, Pat, and John share the detailed timeline of events, created by AIPAC that have taken place within and around Israel that have brought us to what we are presently seeing. We didn’t just get here. In the recent years, Israel has launched multiple Operations in defense of Hamas continual rocket fire. What started as a division of Hamas and Fatah in the Gaza strip has “resulted in the dissolution of the unity government and the defacto division of the Palestinian territories into two entities, the West Bank governed by the Palestinian National Authority, and Gaza governed by Hamas.” More than four times as many rockets have been shot into Israel from January 2014 to July 8, 2014, than all of 2013.

IDF Staff Sergeant Adi Briga was leaving Israel and headed for operations in the Gaza Strip. Before SSgt Briga was to leave for operations, he took time to say good bye to his girlfriend, Yulia Sokolov. Divine timing allowed an Israeli reporter to catch the couple’s goodbyes. It was also this reporter who was assigned to Briga’s funeral that was to occur merely days later. Little did they know the place where they hugged was also the last moments SSgt Briga would be standing when he was killed from Hamas rocket fire from Gaza.

It is also important to remember that what is being seen and done by radical Islam does not mean this is every Muslim. Leaders of America have shared how things in the world “are getting scarier and scarier”.

Now is not the time to bury our heads in entertainment or social media. Instead of looking down, or turning a blind eye, we can turn our hope heavenward and remember that Jesus spoke about these very happenings:

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. -Matthew 24:4-8

The time that a mother endures during the birthing of a baby is difficult. But, the joy that comes from the beauty of a new baby is greater. We are surely amidst difficult days, and greater are the days of difficulty ahead of us. But, Jesus has overcome this life. These hardships and difficulties simply point to a greater happening: the return of Jesus. Amidst great calamities and travesties happening in the world, be encouraged as you are reminded what they represent, and so much more.

Greg, Pat and John have an insightful conversation about the heroes in America. Recently Billy Graham, his son Franklin, and the Billy Graham Association took specific time to honor and recognize all of the Armed Services that make the freedom of America possible. In the culture of America, most often the ones getting much attention are those athletes within the many different sports arenas. There is nothing wrong with sports or putting a specific talent to good use on a court or field. This is not a hero. A true hero are the teachers who spend more time with children than some parents do, all of the hopes of allowing that child to read; the true hero is that police officer who turns down a job of more money to fill that role within their community to keep the streets safe and the neighborhoods peaceful. Even in our own communities, there are those who have paid the ultimate paycheck by laying down their own lives to uphold the blanket of freedom for the civilians of America. The true heroes are not those with the greatest athletic abilities; it those men and women in the armed services, and all of the public services who continue to put on their uniform not knowing if this could be the last time. Enjoy this moment; thank those in your community, as you learn who the true heroes are, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: teachers, fire fighters, military, Escambia County Sherriff’s Office, Don Cook, Dwayne Wade, Shaq, LeBron James, and gratitude.

First Time the “ Religious Freedom Ambassador” has been appointed who is NOT a Christian; Is there more to this? Could there be a plan in place to steal away Israel’s land?

Greg, John, and Pat discuss the recent decision of the Obama Administration’s decision to appoint Rabbi David Saperstein as the U.S. Ambassador for Religious Freedom. This is a significant decision, as Rabbi Saperstein would be the first non-Christian to be appointed to this role. Persecution against Christians is being cranked up around the world; Christians in Northern Iraq are being given a 4 option ultimatum: leave, convert, pay Jizya Tax, or die. A true holocaust is being played out on the stage of the Middle East. CBN reports, in Iraq alone, 1.5 million Christians were once present; now it’s more like 350,000. The letter N, in the Muslim religion, is being marked on the sides of Christian homes and business, as “Nazarenes”, to bring persecution to them. With so much unrest happening in the Middle East, it all seems to come back to a piece of land that stretches 70 miles wide: Israel. Why is this such a concerning truth? When one looks far enough back into history, a similar story comes into picture. This story involves a King named Ahab, a Queen named Jezebel, and a Godly man named Naboth. What is the issue at stake in this story; Naboth’s land.

As the church, we cannot simply sit idly by and watch what is happening and receive it as present value, we must look deeper. We must look at it with a Biblical perspective. We must stand up for Israel and be the voice of truth amidst so much evil in the world. Right now, the silent majority is going to have to wake up and be a voice for truth and for Israel. When a stand is made for truth, persecution should not be a surprise. Jesus said it best from the Sermon on the Mount:

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

–Matthew 5:10-12

Find out how moments such as these are so deeply important, what happens if we do not stand, what can happen if we do stand, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: President Obama, George Soros, Rabbi David Saperstein, persecution, Hamas, Mosul, Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and prayer.
