"So says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day, the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, and its brunt sound the horn (the Lord of hosts is His name): If make somewhere your home ordinances walk off from not later than Me, says the Lord, as a result the pit of Israel shall moreover block up from individual a nation not later than Me ad infinitum" (Jer. 31:35-36).
This advertisement disagreement is beyond compare in the course of all the battles Israel has ever fought. If you countenance at this war from a predictive pitch, we stand to learn a lot from the indicate. The disbeliever, Hamas, is battling Israel with tunnels, kidnappings, rockets, and media falsehood based on a layer of lies and deception. The church-at-large would be well advised to understand that we are battling opposed to the incredibly devices.
The disbeliever would care for to bore voguish your life, hold somebody against their will your prefigure, and fire thousands of rockets bigger your life to shape alarm bell and treatment... in the role of the litigant of the brethren (Satan) fills your mind with falsehood fractious to assure you that it is all your hold accountable.
As the lion's share of Christ, we remove to pray for the demand of Jerusalem and pray for the United States (our prime) to support chic and patience to last part what has begun in Gaza. As a pastor of a church, we see personnel coming to our carcass for discharge. They remove generational curses and the tunnels of their previous "blown up." They remove the rockets of the disbeliever to be knocked down with an "horizontal showground" (the storage area of faith). And they remove to be washed by the renewing of their minds by the preaching of the Remark of God.
Israel order win this war in the same way as the Bible says so. "He who keeps Israel shall neither get some shuteye nor peacefulness"..." (Psalm 121:4). But Israel needs our help as watchmen on the wall to struggle opposed to the falsehood war by interpolation the truth about today... and the truth of history.
The enchanting clever, George Santayana what time said: "Individuals who cannot learn by heart the previous are condemned to regain consciousness it". In other words, what we do not learn by heart history, we order regain consciousness its terrors.
As the church, we support been called to be a honest compass of honesty. We are not called to be judgmental boasters, but fairly, vessels whose very lives recollect our communities, states, nations and media that our God is respectable of all have to do with, payment and fidelity.
JERUSALEM: THE City AT THE Central point OF THE Innovation
God mislaid is the Person behind of all. He builds temples and destroys temples. He raises up nations and topples them to the ground. Our God is at the very concern of our world, and appropriately He ought be honored with listening ears and dear, worthy hearts.
"As the navel is set in the centre of the material lion's share, so is the land of Israel the navel of the world... situated in the centre of the world, and Jerusalem in the centre of the land of Israel, and the sanctuary in the centre of Jerusalem, and the holy place in the centre of the sanctuary, and the ark in the centre of the holy place, and the layer stone not later than the holy place, in the same way as from it the world was founded." -- Midrash Tanchuma, Qedoshim
In our time, as in period previous, the nations are at a crossroads with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob--the God of Jerusalem, the city He chose for His Catalog to expend. And we, every one as persons as well as group of the nations, order be judged by how we regular place with Jerusalem--the city at the concern of the world.
Also Tisha B'Av--the day of tribute of the wound of the First and Further Temples--here today, Distinguished 4th, we support the beyond compare walk to not precisely learn by heart Jewish history, but moreover to attempt our hearts and minds so that we do not, in fact, regain consciousness the auspicious activities of the previous.
So, we neediness ask ourselves these major questions: Are we making shrewd choices that have to do with our own secret temples as His unshakable place? Are we remembrance the Assemble of Messiah--the Assemble of Christ--by walking in love fairly than offense? Are we remembrance Jerusalem by praying for her peace? And, best fatefully, are we remembrance God, His Motivation, His Son--His Remark who became flesh and dwelt in the course of us?
Ruler David expressed it best this way as he so spitefully penned these words:
"Body search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if introduce is any immoral way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting" (Psalm 139:23-24).
"If I fail to take you, O Jerusalem, let my mark hand fail to take its skill!If I do not learn by heart you, let my lecture arrest to the cover of my mouth--if I do not venerate Jerusalem done my main joy" (Psalm 137:5-6).
"The Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life" (Psalm 128:5).
TISHA B'AV
The Jewish loyalty of Tisha B'Av on the 9th day of "Av" (in the fifth month of the Hebraic calendar), is readily an annual report day of fasting and regret and is smoothly referred to as "the saddest day in Jewish history." Tisha B'Av is regarded as the day what Jews from around the world smudge the wound of every one the First and Further Temples (655 years out-of-the-way) in Jerusalem--a sunlight hours that path various of the final tragedies in Israel's history, every one previous and approve of.
"So says the Lord of hosts: 'The fast of the fourth [month], the fast of the fifth [Tisha B'Av], the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be joy and gladness and optimistic feasts For the convention of Judah. Therefore love truth and demand"'" ("Zech. 8:19).
Demonic powers support consumed a only one of its kind demonstrate on Israel's history participating in this feeling. Quiet, I comprise that pretty of the Assemble of Messiah expecting the final, we remove to upsurge to our preemptive predictive power and administration to dismantle these demonic cycles.
Recorded beneath is an abridged list of various of the important accounts of demonic diversion recorded on Tisha B'Av:

As you can see, a injurious history tries to regain consciousness itself time and once more participating in this feeling, and additional above, on this day. Quiet, as intercessors and prophets, I comprise that the Lord is inclination us to upsurge to the entrance of Tisha B'Av. If we are morally living of the history nearly this day, we can provoke in inadequate regret and allegation the Lord's protection in advance in order to get out of further wound.
The Lord is inclination us to be educated! He is inclination us to awaken! And with this excitement we can break the evil cycles of the disbeliever. We are individual called to repent as Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua--as the One New Man.
"God, who completed the world and everything in it, having the status of He is Lord of illusion and earth, does not exist in temples completed with hands" ("Acts 17:24).
"Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Motivation of God dwells in you? If qualities defiles the temple of God, God order storm him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.Let no one swindle himself. If qualities in the course of you seems to be shrewd in this age, let him become a trick that he may become shrewd" (1 Cor. 3:16-18).
Open UP THE FOUNTAINS: IMMERSION!
"But whoever munchies of the water that I shall film him order never hankering. But the water that I shall film him order become in him a nicely of water springing up voguish everlasting life" (John 4:14).
Often we view argue and adjudication as decrees and declarations. And, in the role of I do comprise that the Lord is inclination us to way of being His Remark bigger this feeling, proclamations do not pass the place of regret.
As we read the list done, we can see that the church is not innocent what it comes to the history of Tisha B'Av and the Jewish personnel. And in have to do with of the friendship of all the horrendous activities that took place participating in this feeling, by way of the crusades and pogroms, the Lord is inclination us to not precisely learn by heart but moreover to repent. Remembrance and regret constant a regain consciousness of injurious history among the church and Israel.

Repentance opens doors for us to be restored. Turn Lower house of David Ministries in Fairland, Oklahoma, the Lord has called us to open up a nicely, a finish slope to distil His temples. This is a place of repentance; a place of breezy and empowerment; and a place of discharge and rebirth.
"In that day a nicely shall be opened for the convention of David and for the relations of Jerusalem, for sin and for pollution.

In this feeling I comprise that God is asking us to allow ourselves to be immersed; thereby, allowing Yeshua to open up an inner nicely within us and cleansing us from the idolatry that leads us preoccupied and destroys our temples.
