GOD IS ANSWERING

"Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth ear? But thou, O Lord, shall laugh at them: thou shalt have all the heathen in derision" (Psalm 59:5-8).

Men, we can be encouraged because it seems to me that God is answering our prayers regarding the ISIS terrorist group that have been spreading fear and terror throughout Syria, Iraq, and Libya. This group are well-armed and have swift, blitzkreig-like methods of taking over cities and nations. They show no mercy to all who oppose them and boast in their bloody style of executing their warfare. They especially hate Israel and USA as well as all the Islamic groups that do not unite with their fanaticism. They have already planted their sleeper cells all over the western world and will strike when the time is right.

The spirit of tolerance that is exercised by the western world has given them the advantage to further their caliphate plans of world domination. However, in answer to our prayers, western nations are rising up to deal crushing blows to their strategies. Even Islamic countries are rising up against them, not seeking the approval of the overly tolerant western nations. In answer to our prayers there seems to be a real sense of urgency and, thank God, not before time!

Multitudes of Christians and minority religious groups have lost their lives already and many have been and are being tortured.

Keep praying for Israel who are in the front lines of the battle against Hamas who are a similar evil terrorist regime who are bent on establishing an Islamic world ruled by Sharia, devil-inspired law. They have duped the world to believe that it is all Israel's fault and that if Israel was removed there would be worldwide peace. This anti-Semitism is a lie from the pit of hell and has caused much western hatred towards the small nation of Israel that is fighting valiantly for its right to exist.

But the Bible is an eternal book of truth and all the prophecies concerning Israel are faithful and true. From the beginning God has loved Israel and has given them the land as an everlasting possession. Read again Genesis 17:1-9 and Ezekiel, chapters 36 - 39. As Christian families we must side with God's truth and not be duped with liberal, propagandized media.

Keep on praying. God is answering.

Be encouraged.
