Jerusalem in crisis!!!

Mon, 3 Apr 2006 15:07:00 -0500

I just received this and one of the best ways I know to get this out to everyone is putting it on my blog. So please respond to this!!!

Dear Lyria,

Thanks to those Jerusalem Prayer Team members and their friends and family who have joined our fight to stop the desecration of Jerusalem. We have over 10,000 signatures.

I have been in prayer about how we can get one million signatures in the next 30 days. I believe the Lord has shown me the answer: The Ten plus Ten Mandate! If each person who has signed the petition would simply get 10 people to sign today, and if that 10 would enlist 10 more friends, we would have one million signatures. And, we need those signatures within the next 30 days. Permit and permission decisions will be made soon! It's urgent that we move quickly! Just think 10 friends asking 10 more friends will give us 1 million.

...Jesus said �you shall be a witness unto me in Jerusalem"...let's be that witness now!

If you have not signed please sign today. If you have, please send this message to your friends and family and urge them to join our fight for Sacred Jerusalem.

In the 24 verses of his epistle, the Apostle Jude warned from Jerusalem about those who would give themselves over to sexual immorality, and going after strange flesh. Please take a moment to read it, and pay special attention to verse 14: �The Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints...� This is so powerful! Why? Because we already have 10,000 signers of the petition!

I truly believe one million signatures will turn the tide. I will personally take this petition to the Mayor of Jerusalem. I will be your ambassador! Instead of a quarter million homosexuals, bi-sexuals, lesbians and transgenders in Jerusalem, there will be the names of one million godly people going up to Jerusalem.

Would you encourage me by letting me know by return email that you will accept the challenge, will ask ten friends to sign the petition, and then will encourage them to ask ten friends to sign?

Christians must shine the light of hope and support on this important city.

Mother Teresa prayed with me for the suffering souls in Jerusalem. She said, �We must love them; they are God�s children. Love is something you do, not something you say.�

Lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders are organizing WorldPride 2006, an international parade in the city of Jerusalem. This is not heaven witnessing; it is hell. There are now homosexual churches all over America and the world, whose adherents claim to be good Christians. Please support our effort to stop the desecration of Jerusalem by signing our petition now!

According to promotional materials, this event in Jerusalem will:

...make history in one of the world's most historic cities. With the eyes of the world on them, the international LGBT community will bring a message of unity and reconciliation to people troubled by conflict.

...bring a message of dignity and acceptance to a city holy to three of the world's great religious faiths.

...claim the rightful place of lesbians and gays in world history and culture.

All this we can do - and we can do it only in Jerusalem.

My heart aches that the Jewish people will think the majority of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgenders are Christians...because they will profess to be. There is no doubt in my mind that this is an attempt to disgrace everything that true Christians consider to be pure and holy.

WorldPride 2006 is not simply a parade through the streets of Jerusalem; it is a battle between light and darkness.

Please take a stand today by signing the petition, then forward this message to ten of your friends and ask them to join our fight to stop the desecration of Jerusalem. Then, ask them to forward it to ten of their friends.

Please mail the signed petitions to:
Jerusalem Prayer Team
PO Box 210485,
Bedford, TX 76095.

For Jerusalem's Sake,

Mike D. Evans

Homosexuals of the World Will Gather in Jerusalem!

Mon, 27 Mar 2006 17:43:00 -0600

Yes, the devil is bold. This is what I received today from the Jerusalem Prayer Team:

Dear Violet,

Our Lord�s last words to us commanded that we were to be witnesses unto Him, first in Jerusalem.

I have been in Jerusalem all week, and I am outraged! Following last year�s postponement of WorldPride 2005, lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders are regrouping and reorganizing for WorldPride 2006, an international parade in the city of Jerusalem. This is not heaven witnessing; it is hell. There are now homosexual churches all over America and the world, whose adherents claim to be good Christians.

Join our fight to stop this desecration of Jerusalem. Add your signature to our letter of support to Mayor of Jerusalem, Uri Lupolianski, now!

They plan to travel to Jerusalem from San Francisco, New York City, and cities from around the world. The most disturbing thing about this is that most of the Jewish people in Jerusalem are very religious. That is why they have gone to Jerusalem from all the nations of the world.

To have more than 100,000 homosexuals flaunting such decadent behavior in this tiny, holy city where heaven and earth met, and will meet again, is outrageous! They plan to fill the hotels and restaurants, and party like Sodomites, while the world press takes pictures.

Even more outrageous is that the Jewish people will think the majority of these people are Christians�because they will profess to be. There is no doubt in my mind that this is an attempt to disgrace everything that true Christians consider to be pure and holy.

It is being proclaimed the largest international gathering for gay pride ever. I can tell you with absolute certainty that my dear friend, Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski, a very Orthodox mayor, does not want this. There is no way he can overcome the power of this group without your support.

It is vitally urgent that we mobilize one million Christians to petition Mayor Lupolianski not to allow permits to be issued for the WorldPride event in the tiny, holy city of Jerusalem. I want the Mayor to be able to go to the city council and say, �Our strongest supporters are Bible-believing Christians. There are two billion Christians in the world, and they are outraged. We must not allow their holy sites, and this holy city to be desecrated.� If we remain silent, they will be baptizing hand-holding homosexuals in the Jordan River. They will also fill the Garden Tomb again and again, taking Communion, and shouting, "Hallelujah."

Add your signature now!

Abraham beheld such decadence, and pled with God to stay His hand of destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah if he (Abraham) could find as few as ten righteous men. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed.

You can be sure that the majority of the organizers and funds for WorldPride are coming from the United States.

We need God�s blessings on this nation, not His judgment. I am urgently asking you to enlist 9 of your Christian friends to sign this petition in the next 48 hours. It is URGENT!

Please FORWARD this message to everyone on your list, and please ask them to confirm via e-mail that they have signed so you will know that you have enlisted ten more to sign the petition. Please keep this petition going around the world.

This is a battle between darkness and light. Satan�s last challenge to God Almighty was from the city of Jerusalem�then he would be like the Most High�that he would sit on the mount of the congregation on the sides of the north. There is no doubt in my mind that he is attempting to shake his fist in the face of God.

For Jerusalem's Sake,

Mike D. Evans

Pray for the missionaries in India

Thu, 2 Mar 2006 11:17:00 -0600

This is atrocious! I am amazed at the evil the devil encourages people to perform. That Indian family needs our prayers.

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

Romans 5:20

INDIA

(Gospel for India/Compass Direct/agapepress)
According to Gospel for Asia (GFA), the level of persecution against Christians in India has reached new levels in early 2006, as Hindu extremists work to incite violence against believers. The fight centers on Hindutva, literally "Hinduness," a growing ideology that has a purely Hindu nation as its goal. At a recent large rally, Hindu nationalists called on the states to make their own anti-conversion laws. Please pray for the following situations:

On February 17th, a band of radicals destroyed a church building and Christian school in Kota, District of Rajasthan State. (Gospel for India)
A GFA native missionary and several other believers are in jail because of a radical plot to frame them for the murder of a child. The 16-month-old child of a Muslim family had suffered from a prolonged illness. When the parents quarreled with a Christian pastor over some land, members of the local Hindu nationalist party advised them to dash their child against some rocks, breaking its bones. They then filed murder charges against Pastor Kasota and 10 others. (Gospel for India)
On February 8th, an Indian woman from Canada and three youths beat the pastor of an independent church in Punjab so severely that he required hospital treatment. The woman had been involved in a land dispute with the church and hired the youths to beat up the pastor who would not give up land that legally belonged to the church. (Compass Direct)
More than 10,000 students are graduating from Hopegivers International Seminary this month. Most of the students are Dalits, people considered below the fourfold Hindu caste system. (Agapepress)

Pray God will put a hedge of protection around all His faithful ones in India. Pray the Dalits, who know God's great love for them, will share their faith in Jesus throughout all India. Pray the Holy Spirit will open the hearts of many Hindus to the reality of the gospel.

Thu, 19 Jan 2006 09:32:00 -0600

Since I'm finished moving everything to where it needs to be I'll start back to writing about things like Presidential prayer requests:

Blogging for the Katrina victims

Wed, 31 Aug 2005 12:11:00 -0500

I received an e-mail from Stacy Harp yesterday about someone starting a blogroll of people that will blog about Katrina. I guess they're trying to make it nationwide so I'm doing my part by spreading the news to my homeschoolblogger.com family. Here's the portion of the e-mail and the link to the post she's referring to:

"Also, in case you didn't know Glenn Reynolds and Hugh Hewitt have called for Thursday to be a blogging for relief day for the hurricane victims, so if you want to join that email Glenn at his address from Instapundit. NZ Bear is also heading it up. Get your name on the blogroll they are doing."

More help for Katrina victims

Tue, 6 Sep 2005 12:08:00 -0500

I received this e-mail from Stacy Harp today:

One of our reviewers passed this information on to me to share in the event you are interested in helping out displaced homeschoolers.

Emergency Educational Help for Children

Ambleside Online Advisory is providing free curriculm for the kids who have no school to attend due to Hurrican Katrina. This can be used by homeschoolers as well who have lost their curriculm in the storm. Read their letter below to get more details. This is a wonderful idea to help the children. Churches and other organizations providing relief and shelter could implement this as part of the relief effort. I know they have other physical needs that must come first, but this effort will take months and the kids will need to restart their education. This is a great idea and plan to help in that regard.

You can also drop curriculm off at several locations for delivery to victims. Project Noah has a list of locations serving as drop off points. This project started after Hurrican Allison in June 2001.

I cannot vouch for these ministries personally, but the people who sent me this are very good people. I will take their recommendation on this. Please help if you can and spread the word about this. It is for the kids who are in need of much help at this time.

Project Noah

Tue, 6 Sep 2005 12:07:00 -0500

I just stumbled on this from an e-mail someone sent me and I love it!!! It's like the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) program to help widows get curriculum to teach their children at home.

Project Noah is an organization that helps families that have experienced a traumatic occurrence to get back on their feet in home schooling. They provide school supplies and curriculum to these families. Since the biggest catastrophic event in the history of the USA was hurricane Katrina, they are helping these people as well. They will be giving them all the supplies and curriculum these families need! I love this! I currently don't have any curriculum to give them but I will send hte supplies I have. I must have the gift of helps because everytime I hear something like this my heart gets so excited and I want to jump in and help in anyway I can regardless of my current financial situation. It's wonderful. I love it!!! I just love to help people. Praise the Lord for His spiritual gifts!!!!
