The Call To 30 Days of Prayer Coinciding with Purim 2017 Celebrations


There are a lot of things happening in both the physical and spiritual realms right now. During a prophetic prayer meeting last Thursday a friend shared with me that she feels that The Lord is calling her and other believers who have desire to seek the Lord to more intensified time of prayer beginning today and ending on March 11, which coincides with the time Purim begins this year ( The Feast of Esther) thought it is not a coincidence at all.

She said that she senses that The Lord wants all of us to prepare spiritually for what is coming in the near future. That The Lord desires to empower His Church and pour out His glory, but He can do that only with those who are ready. She feels that it will begin around March 11th.

And being a type of person always hungry for everything that The Lord has for me and not wanting to miss out on anything, I accepted the call and decided to share it with all of you as well. As I began to pray today and to repent on my own behalf and that of my nations, I also asked  for more understanding about the times in which I am living as well as the signs of the times.

As I prayed, I began thinking about what is special about Purim and why The Lord called us to pray and intercede before Him at this time. Well, as most of you know from the biblical Book of Esther, Queen Esther after whom the name of the book was called, was faced with conspiracy created by then Prime Minister of Persia (modern day Iran) to destroy al Jews in one day. Sounds familiar?

Today's Islamic Republic of Iran's Government repeatedly made promises to do just that one day, to "wipe Israel of the map." Perhaps he Lord is calling us to prayer to intercede before Him on behalf of His people both Israel and the Church who are going to come under attack. Now, Esther's intercession did not reverse the edict calling for genocide of the Jews, but it gave the right and power to defend themselves.

One of Purim's traditions is to hold a fast three days before the beginning of the feast in memory of Queen Esther's fast, which falls on March 9th. I plan to do so as well and invite al of those who can to join in as well.

I believe that as we pray, repent, fast and intercede before our King if Kings Yeshua ( Jesus), He is going to spiritually empower us to face our enemy, so that we will gain victory, and so will Israel. We are all Esther called to the kingdom of God for such a time as this. In following pots, I will share my growing understanding of how the coming conflict between Iran and Israel will tie in with the sign of the Virgin that will appear in September of this year, and the coming War of Gog and Magog.

How Alt Right Violence Helps The Cause Of Islamic Terrorism



It is quite ironic, but the ideology and actions of alt right terrorists such as Anders Breivik of Norway,  who claim to be concerned about Islamisation of Western societies, actually only helps the cause of those radical Muslims who wish to eventually impose Islamic laws on Western societies   and here is how.

When alt right terrorist come and kill Muslims in the Masques such as it was the case recently in Quebec, Canada or immigrants like in the case of Breivik, then Muslim terrorists use it even more as a tool to radicalize Muslim youth because it "proves" their narrative that Muslims and Islam are under attack and marginalized by white "Christian Crusaders" since to them all white people living in the West are "Christian" even though they might actually be atheists espousing alt right ideology like  Alexandre Bissonnette. Sadly even the Western main stream  media such as CBC also described him as a "white Christian"( proof: CBC: Candian Mass Murderers Usually White and Christian ) despite the fact that he liked among other things atheist's pages on Facebook, but they reported only that he liked Donald Trump and Marie Le Pen of France trying very unfairly in my opinion, to tie those two political leaders to alt right ideology and terrorism, thus helping to fuel more Islamic terrorism by confirming the radical Islamic narrative.

Furthermore, such violent attacks on Islamic communities will make it impossible to have an open discussion in Western societies about the limits to accommodation of Islam, which radical Islamic elements will exploit by accusing anyone voicing an opposition to establishment of Sharia law in Muslim communities in Canada, or U.S. of fueling hate that leads to violence.

The rise of nationalist sentiments both in Europe and America is a direct reaction to radical Islam, its ideology, and violence. The people who simply want to preserve their own culture, want safety from Islamic terrorism, and want  full sovereignty for their countries are not driven by the alt right ideology even though alt right activists agree with them on some points.

We have to remember that just because two groups of people agree with each other on couple of points, it does not mean that they are one and the same or that they agree with everything. If Western civilization is to survive and not descend into the chaos that we observe now taking place in the Middle East, we have to find a way to foster true tolerance, which is accepting one another's differences without allowing any one group in society to have a privileged status or impose their political, social, or religious ideology on everyone else. We cannot be calling every Muslim a terrorist, but we have to acknowledge the problem of Islamic terrorism head on. And we cannot call every one criticizing Islam and islamophobe, but we must condemn any type of violence against Muslims in the strongest terms.

Violence always breeds violence and must be condemned. That is why Jesus taught us Christians to love our enemies and not to return evil for evil, but to overcome evil with good. This is what real Christianity is about and that is why no alt right terrorist should ever be called a Christian, because to be a Christian means to be like Christ, and He never killed anyone, but instead He sacrificed His life for the sake of those who hated Him.
