Empathizing with Israel: If we As Christians Stand with Israel Today Maybe there will be someone who will Stand with us Tomorrow.

LISTEN NOW! Greg, Pat, and John continue the conversation regarding Israel and the critical hour that we are in on Earth. Amidst the many different narratives about Israel, as believers it is imperative that we stand with Israel and for Israel. Tension remains for those in Southern Israel as rockets from Gaza continue to be fired against Israelis. Since 2001, over 8,000 missiles have been shot in the town of Sderot, also known as “Rocket Town”. While there may not be rockets, or continual threats of harm in other parts of the world, it is important to remain in a place of empathy towards our Jewish brothers and sisters, if not, the church is next. Pastor Martin Niemöller details the exact empathetic perspective we must have towards Israel:

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Also shared in this segment: Gaza Strip, embedded reporters, narratives, Red Alert Israel app, Woodrow Wilson, Coffee Shops, CBN, empathy, and perspective.

Greg, Pat, and John talk about the seemingly schizoid narratives that have been spoken from our current governmental leaders and how though crazy they may seem, lines up clearly as intelligent methodology taught by Saul Alinsky, President Obama’s mentor and former employer and author of the book, Rules for Radicals.

Marshal Ganz says to Bill Moyer, on the Bill Moyer PBS show, “it's like Saul Alinsky says... Organizers have to be well-integrated schizoids, because you have to polarize to mobilize and depolarize to settle. But without polarizing you're never going to mobilize anything. And yeah, THEN there's a time to negotiate…"

They continue to share how America has been polarized under the current administration and the possible next step of its depolarization. Find clarity amidst the whirlwinds of schizoid topics, find your place of rest in the Lord, disregard the bipolar narratives and understand Jesus told us what we’re to look for as He said “You will know them by their fruit.” Also shared in this segment: Marshall Ganz, Saul Alinsky, Organizers of the Day and Night, John Paul Jackson, medication, Robin Hood, abortion, The Constitution, illegal aliens, and Ellis Island.

Will the best of times for the church seemingly be coming in conjunction with the worst of times in the nations? Also shared in this segment: John Paul Jackson, the Perfect Storm, Washington D.C., oil prices, nuclear attacks, Hezbollah, Congress, China, radical Islam and riots.

You’ll Tend to Find More of God in your Interruptions if You Let Them

Steve, Greg, and Pat share in this abiding time how so many of the encounters that Jesus had with others was on the way to where He was going as He was passing through. It is at those moments of interruption when we have the biggest opportunity to love. Jesus never took a step outside of the pace of love. His ultimate destination was the Cross, and He never missed those to His left and right on way, those that He would later die for. If we do not love others, then we are moving outside of How Jesus walked. Be encouraged as they share how important it is for us to stay in a constant state of love, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: empathy, salvation, miracles, obedience, and witnessing.

”Guard Your Seeds for When the Conditions are Right, You Will See the Harvest”, says Rick Joyner in his book, The Harvest

Pat, Greg, and Steve share in this abiding moment how important it is to remember the seasons that must take place for the harvest to come. There are three distinct things that must come at the right time and the right amount: WATER, which is the word of God, HEAT which are the circumstances of our life that test us, and LIGHT which is the revelation we know comes from God. When we sow the seeds of the gospel into the lives of another, it is normal not to see an immediate harvest. It may not even be until the next generation until those seeds begin to bare a harvest. Sometimes, our purpose can be to protect and guard the seeds that have been sown. What farmer that sows seeds doesn’t expect a harvest. Also shared in this segment: discipleship, hardships, evangelism, witnessing, prayer, family, and relationship.

Learning How to Be a Wing man under the Protective Wings of God: Psalm 91

Greg, Pat and Steve share in this abiding moment the importance of abiding with the Lord and the effects for those who do. God will protect those that find their refuge in Him. It is God that protects us from the deadly pestilences. When a mother hen is with her chicks, she covers them in such a way that you cannot see them, you see only the mother hen’s feathers. Find out how you can be protected by the wings of the Lord, to find your shelter in Him, and so much more.

God’s Spirit Knows All, It’s up to us to Follow His Lead

Greg, Pat and Steve share in this exciting moment how the Holy Spirit was brought to the Gentiles, those that are not Jewish. We cannot forget that Jesus was Jewish, the disciples were Jewish, and at the birthing of the church in Acts 2, they were Jewish. Can we truly let go and trust the leadership of God’s Spirit in our lives? Cornelius and Peter did. It was because of their obedience to the voice of the Lord and their continual response to God amidst their lack of understanding of what God was doing that, those who are not Jewish are able to encounter God’s Holy Spirit even today! In this segment, you will finally find the answer to this question, “How did it come to the place from where it was when the Holy Spirit paved the way for letting man into the Church and are now closing the door to the knowledge of Him in their lives and ‘churches’?” The Holy Spirit let them in, but now they won’t let the Holy Spirit in. Allow these testimonies of what God did powerfully stir your faith to step out in boldness and believe God to do powerful miracles in your own life, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: obedience, visions, faith, hope, baptism of the Holy Spirit, prayer, and testimonies of God.
