Observing the discussion of Christians and involvement in governmental affairs, this was the thought that came to me. Were Christian Kings and Queens who were ordained by Christian clerics throughout the last  1500 years legitimate? And why not? Are Christians not expected to confess Christ before world rulers? And if their testimony is received, should they serve as advisors? I am sure the Rev. B. Graham has his detractors, but did he not advise 6 presidents? Does that make him reprobate?

The concern seems directed towards being in the world and not of it, friends with the world, etc..None of that would be true if someone served their community directly in elected office with honor, and distinction. Seems like the testimony would be obviously positive. 

The Lord stated His concerns quite clearly. "You cannot serve God and mammon". This does not speak to civic affairs, it pertains to the love of money. Even more importantly, it now pertains directly to rejecting the mark of the beast, and coming "out of Babylon", in which getting out of debt would be a good move in the right direction.

I realize this thread is weaving two topics, maybe three, but they are all connected, in the same way that there are two or three companion threads just recently, and show the interconnections of these affairs. For example, why is the President risking a global recession to win a trade war with China? Because he thinks there is a switch he can throw to restart it. And what might that be? Inflaming a Middle East War would do the trick. Especially as Iran is drawn further into direct conflict with all their proxies neutralized. Has there been any rumblings towards that happening?

Was John the Baptist out of the Will of God when he condemned Herod the tetrarch for having his brother's wife? (Mt. 14)

Have you ever considered a likely outcome of the story of Esther? We know that a young Jewish lady became the Queen of Persia. The Biblical narrative ends with God using Queen Esther and her Uncle Mordecai to save the Jews across an entire real from Pakistan to Turkey from Annihilation.

But surely that is not where to story ends. A King takes a Queen to himself to make princes and princesses. These royals would be half Persian, half Jewish from the mother's side, or the Queen. So from a Jewish perspective, would they be Persian or Jew. 

The likelihood that there is a royal Jewish bloodline from Persia would be inevitable, as well as the need to keep their identity a tight secret, otherwise, the peril would be obvious. Not to mention if the Iranian regime even thought for a moment that this might be emerging, all Jews in Iran would be in peril. I could be placing them there by writing this, but no one reads me anyway.

So what does this call for??? The President of the United States should follow PM Netanyahu's lead and begin speaking directly to the Iranian people. Completely cut off all communications with that Islamic state and push HARD for regime change. Remind the people there of Daniel, and how beloved he remains among Persians, Jews, Christians, and even Arabs.

There are two or even three younger generations since the fall of the Shah. They want peace. They want freedom. If the US wants to use bunker buster bombs to wipe out the existential threat the region, fine. But please do not bomb Iranian cities, especially in regions where other ethnicities live under that region. 

The people of Elam are likely to have a royal lineage. There are other Biblical nations under this Iranian umbrella, and will only emerge after regime change, and a likely break-up of the country resulting.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
