I am so ashamed!

[Ani Tefillah]

Shalom! 

The prime minister etc of Norway, has unfortunately been so foolish to say that Norway is for a "two state" solution in Israel 🇮🇱! They did this uncivil decision without asking the opinion of the Norwegian citizens! Can it be that they know that we are many in Norway who would disagree with this unrighteous act, as we wholeheartedly bless Israel 🇮🇱, and don't want it to be parted into more pieces! 

They who curse Israel 🇮🇱, curse themselves, and they who bless Israel 🇮🇱 are blessed! The countries that seek to divide Israel 🇮🇱, will be divided, and I don't doubt it! 

Many, many years ago, a Norwegian man prophecied that some day a foreign land would invade this land and divide it, and because of what the prime minister has done now, this could soon happen. 

I am so ashamed of being a Norwegian today 😔, and I encourage all of you in here to continue to pray 🙏🏽 for Israel 🇮🇱, and please pray for the leaders in Norway 🇳🇴 too. 

Maranatha! Bo Yeshua! Come quickly!

Well . . . there is plenty of shame to go around  . . . the USA has put undue pressure on Israel during one of their most turbulent times of war. Seemingly, Biden has turned his back on Israel. The Biden administration is a shame on the USA. I can only pray that citizens of the USA will correct this in November (unless the leftist steal the election again).

Statistics say that only 1/2 of Christians in the USA are registered to vote, and of that a majority don't bother to show up and vote. Most Americans support Israel, yet, Marxist leftists have assumed power and are usurping authority for their purposes.

To the Christian USA citizens I say: Register to vote if you have not, then, exercise your citizenship and vote your biblical principals in November. Remember . . . we are not voting for Pastor, we are voting for who can best defend our biblical principals and who will put conservative policies in place so we can live our biblical principals in our day to day lives. We MUST get rid of the current administration, so, stop voting for personalities, and start voting for an conservative administration.

I know that there's many over there with you who bless Israel 🇮🇱, and blessed are those! 😊 

I also know that it's a spiritual battle going on, that certain things must happen, and that Abba Father has full control, and that's a great comfort, isn't it?

Hi, I have the present conclusion that if a man could not qualify to be a pastor he  is unfit to be a president of anything, or as Ross Perot once put it not qualified to run the third shift at a Dairy Queen.

Personality is an outward projection  of the inner heart So personality is a very vital ingredient to consider in any leadership role.

I cannot ignore the serious personality flaws of  candidates for those flaws drive their decision failures too.

Pastors like leaders are appointed anyway, we may think we vote and decide; but God has stated all rulers are established by God.

" Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.  Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.  For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.  For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.  Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake.  For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing.  Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor." -Paul directly to the church, at Rome, at a time of great distress  to Christians from leaders of Government!

My hope is not in a person of the moment as a government leader, but instead is centered on the certain hope that is Yeshua whom God the Father has given us to, and who loses not a one of us given him by His father. Therein is my hope placed.

Regarding human beings, perfection is the enemy of excellence. As one woman said during the 2016 presidential election when asked how she could vote for a certain candidate after allegations of him having an affair, the woman said, "I'm voting for president, not husband."

King David comes to mind. A murderer and adulterer, yet a great leader and a man after God's own heart. 

Regarding the bible quote you used, that was written for a particular people at a particular time and place.

Thank you @ladypeartree for this saying,Nevertheless we pray people continue to get saved in God plan of Mercy and Grace, through His Only begotten Son Christ Jesus,

I was reading this morning Ephesians ch 4 v26=27 and it mentions that we as Christians should not allow anger to take hold in us as this give a foothold for the devil to work in,

 

5 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

² And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

⁴ Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

⁵ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

⁷ Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

⁸ For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

⁹ (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

¹⁰ Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

¹² For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

¹³ But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

¹⁵ See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

¹⁶ Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁷ Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

¹⁹ Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

²⁰ Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

²¹ Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

My test for anger is how I respond to bad drivers. 

 

And I'm not joking. It may be my age (I'm 70), but as I get older I find myself cutting them a LOT more slack than I did in previous decades. I'm not perfect, but I'm way better than I was, by several orders of magnitude.

Agreed. However all the decisions being made are being made by the Biden administration, not him. We need to fire his administration by firing Biden. 
 

again I say we cannot vote for Biden or trump alone, it is the current progressive administration who is destroying this country. No vote is the same as voting for Biden. That is how it works.

The "whole world" is crying for "peace on the earth", but I personally don't think it will be any permanent Peace/Shalom until the Sar Shalom/the Prince of Peace comes. 😊
