7 Reasons Why I Pray and Take a Stand for Israel

Israel is Still the Apple of God’s Eye and His inheritance – Close to His heart.

Pray for and take a stand for Israel because Israel is still very close to God’s heart. I have already shared Zechariah 2:8, which says, “He who touches you [Israel], touches the apple of His eye.” Centuries before Zechariah prophesied these words, Moses wrote a song containing a very similar picture:

What to Do When all Else Fails!

There are times that hit us all when we are “up against the wall”. What are you going to do when it seems like all else has failed? Why, it is time to PRAISE THE LORD! Yes, let the sacrifice of praise be heard from your lips even if you feel like you are living in the midst of barren straits!
