The Conflict in Israel

A word from the Lord to Chuck Pierce on January 29, 2006

I heard the Lord say the following:

"In the midst of the summer at the hottest point you will begin to see the snow of Lebanon melt. Watch as Palestine and Syria form an ungodly alliance with Lebanon. For Lebanon is at the end of the fork of the road of change for the Middle East. Lebanon will become an issue that causes the Middle East to go one way or the other.
In the midst of the beauty and grandeur of this place I will begin to write a new script over how the nations will realign. Out of Lebanon a new wineskin will form and a new river will begin to rise. I will bring conflict into Lebanon because it is the boundary that I will deal with this year concerning My promised land of Israel.

The warlike tribes of Lebanon will once again arise. But in the end I will win this war, and the riches that have been withheld from My kingdom plan will be released. Watch and see for there is a new vision. For in the days ahead you will hear a cry arise from the deep affliction and mourning that comes out of Lebanon.

Out of the ancient city of Damascus, you will see a caravan arise. I, Ancient of Days, will create a conflict in Damascus. My power will be displayed to the world when I break the confederation of demonic hosts that are aligned against My covenant plan.Out of Damascus will come a new move of My Spirit. Many conversions and miracles will occur in the region that surrounds Damascus. Watch because I am realigning the nations of this region. I will send angelic forces to guard My plan. No matter how Syria arises against that plan at this time, I will have warring angelic forces that will counteract the plan of men that are aligned with evil forces to create havoc. Sing the songs of the Ancient of Days for it is those songs that will create the sound of victory over the lands of this region."

GOD GIVES US THESE WORDS IN THE BODY OF MESSIAH TO HELP US KNOW HOW TO PRAY AND TO DISCERN WHICH DIRECTION THE LORD WANTS TO MOVE. PRAY THAT AN OUTPOURING OF GOD'S SPIRIT WILL FALL UPON THE MUSLIM PEOPLE OF SYRIA. SINCE EVERY TRIBE AND TONGUE MUST BE REPRESENTED IN HEAVEN, GOD WANTS A GREAT REPRESENTATION FROM LEBANON AND SYRIA TOO.

I thought this was very interesting and exciting! It is so amazing to see God moving in the land of His people.

Saturday

Today was a nice, slow day. I slept late because I closed last night, so I got off work at 1:00am. We had a good time, though! I got up at about 11:00am I think, then had breakfast. Dad and I went to Cingular to check about getting a new phone (since mine has been dropped a few too many times) and since I'm not up for a new contract yet, I'm going to get a Go-Phone and just put my SIM card in it. Who knew you could do that? It will work like nothing ever happened - no fees or anything and it's only about $30. I'm very excited about that!!

Tomorrow is the first day ...sorry, my thoughts were just interrupted. I was going to tell you about the musical I'm in, but there are so much more important things going on. Last night I was on a break and looking at the front page of the NY Times. I almost cried...probably would have if there weren't other people around. I was stunned today in TIME magazine to see a photo of a dead child. How can the photographer even take those photos? I can't even imagine the heartache that is happening in Israel and Lebannon right now. When I read about several children being killed by a missle in Nasareth I was heart broken. I remember walking through those streets two years ago, talking to an Arabic couple who run an orphanidge there. I remember touring the reconstructed "Nasareth Village" and God providing an interpreter for the French couple that was with us. My, how things have changed since then. I can't even imagine a missle landing in the streets in Jesus' home town!!!! Israel is such a special, amazing place and it is getting blown up. Not that this is the first time there has been a war there. It just seems so close to my heart now because I was there...it's almost like another home to me. I think there is something in all of our hearts that longs for the Holy Land and if you haven't discovered it yet, you will some day. Jerusalem is not the same as it was in the days of the Kings of Israel, but it is the same city, in the same location, and we still have the same, unchanging God - Yahweh. In the past few days the one phrase that repeats itself in my mind is the Shema: Hear O Israel, Yahweh is God, Yahweh alone. He will have His way in this conflict, even if we don't understand it. Lord, be with those in trouble now. Your will be done.
