Hi Gino...thank you for your comments and prayers for our friends in Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, the apple of God's eye (Deut 32:10). I cannot take credit for the concerns listed as they came directly into my email from the International Fellowship of Christian and Jews (IFCJ) headquartered in Chicago. I haven't prayed for ceasefires either; however, I do think that prayers for the IDF soldiers, PM Netanyahu as well as other Israeli leaders, for Israeli citizens, and for peace in the Holy Land are critical.One thing you may find interesting. Back when distributing an alert to Christians/Christian groups regarding the 13 Crystal Skulls, I decided to pray...out loud...declarations from the Psalms. The last day of group prayer was a Friday. That Saturday morning, I awoke with a joy that was supernatural and the following words came immediately into my mind: "God honors His Word above His Name." My thought was, "OK, Lord, if that's from You, then it should be in Your Word." So I googled that phrase and found Psalm 138:2:Psalm 138:2, “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”Blessings to you and your family! God is good!
