Today's Prophetic Headlines
Abbas: '67 borders precondition to talks Have you noticed that as soon as it seems that there might be some agreement, the Palestinians press for more? This is because the ultimate goal is peace through the destruction of Israel. This is the centerpiece of the prophecy about these times. "They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance." Psalm 83:4

Today's Prophetic Headlines
Finding God's Will
"Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free." Ephesians 6:6-8
What is it that God wants you to do? What part of His overall purpose are you to fulfill? Important questions aren't they?
It is no secret that God has a purpose for your life. He does have a task set aside for you. He wants you to be a part of His overall plan that leads to many coming to know salvation in His Son, Jesus Christ.
The problem is that many of us don't spend enough time in fellowship with God in prayer and in His word to ever find the place God intends. Instead, we do things for God with good intention while we ask Him to bless our plan, ministry, or work. In essence, our service tends to be selfish and tends to follow human wisdom and not godly direction.
Jesus taught us the first important element in prayer was to request God's will on earth. "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven," are the very words He used. Many use this time of year to get vision for the future. Take time to hear God and follow his direction.
It is one thing to do something and ask God to bless it and quite another to do as He wills!

Send Us More Mordecai's
"Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther 4:10-11
Mordecai was discerning enough to understand the seriousness of the situation that seemed to be leading to the destruction of the Jewish people. His godly influence and wisdom leads Hadassah to risk her life to intercede for the people. He knew that she would not be shielded form the command even as the queen, so she needed to take an active roll in God's plan to bring deliverance to the Jews.
We live in equally distressing times. Many are calling for the destruction of Christianity and Judaism. We need the wisdom of Mordecai to speak to our hearts. God's plan will unfold exactly as He wills it too. The decision is whether we wish to be a part of the Lord's plan, or sit on the sidelines hoping our "privileged" status as believers will shield us. Many need to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Are you making the right decision about your roll in His plan?
