Dear Friends: I feel the following life-giving words belong to those suffering from the ongoing effects of the vaccine. Mind you, the doctors call it ‘long COVID’. Having not had COVID but after taking the 2nd vaccine in early February 2021, I had an immediate negative reaction. Fluid poured out of my nostrils after 15 minutes and continued for some time. Seven months later,...

I love to support your work, you are good ground, and I pray for you and your family daily.” J. M., USA “The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great …” Genesis 6:5...

Pieni hiljainen ääni – Kesäkuun 5. päivä 2022
Shalom, kallisarvoiset ystäväni! Shavuot – Helluntai Viime viikonloppuna vietimme täällä Israelissa viikkojen juhlaa, shavuotia, eli helluntaita. Jumala valitsi itselleen perheväen, juutalaiset. Hän johdatti heidät orjuuteen, jotta he huutaisivat Hänen puoleensa. Sitten Hän vapautti heidät Mooseksen välityksellä juutalaisena pääsiäisenä, pesachina. Siinain erämaassa oltaessa Hän valitsi PUHUA. Pimeys, maanjäristykset ja tuli laskeutuivat Siinain vuorelle. Surullista, että pelko lähetti ihmiset juoksemaan vastakkaiseen suuntaan Peljättävästä, Käskevästä, silti Siunaavasta...

Meine lieben Freunde Schalom! Schawuot – Pfingsten An diesem Wochenende feiern wir in Israel das Fest Schawuot, was auf Englisch Pfingsten heisst. Gott hat ein Volk, die Juden, für sich auserwählt. Er führte sie in die Sklaverei, damit sie zu ihm schreien würden. Dann befreite er sie durch Mose am Passahfest. Dann, während sie in der Wüste Sinai waren, beschloss er zu SPRECHEN. Dunkelheit,...

My dear Friends, Shalom! Shavuot – Pentecost This weekend in Israel we are celebrating The Feast of Shavuot which in English is Pentecost. God chose a family of people, the Jews, for Himself. He led them into slavery, so they would cry out to Him. Then, He delivered them through Moses at Passover. Then while in the desert of Sinai He chose to SPEAK....

Dear Friends Shalom: “Comfort, O comfort My people:” says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, And call out to her, that her time of compulsory service in warfare is finished, That her wickedness has been taken away, That she has received from the LORD’s hand Double [punishment] for all her sins.” Isaiah 40:1-2 If you are a prayer warrior, and I am assuming that...

Shalom Dear Friends: “You will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not frightened …” Matthew 24:6 But the good news: “But for you who fear My name, [with awe-filled reverence] the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go forward and leap [joyfully] like calves [released] from the stall.” Malachi 4:2 Israel Celebrates...
