That We Might Receive the Promise of the Spirit Through Faith - Galatians 3:14

"The promise of the Spirit" is the invariable term for the special Pentecostal gift; and this is to be equally received by faith as the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. To me this text once came as a perfect revelation. It was the clue to unravel perplexity, the point around which truth held long in solution suddenly crystallized. Before this verse spoke to my heart it had been my constant endeavor to feel the Spirit's presence as the sign of my having received; but now it became clear that one might receive by simple faith God's very richest communications, even though the emotion tarried long.

The stages have been thus specified :--

There is such a blessing.--Yes ; there can be no doubt of this; for it pleased the Father that the fullness of the Holy Spirit should dwell in Jesus, that He might communicate Him to each member of His Church.

It is for me.--At Pentecost Peter said, This promise is for as many as the Lord our God shall call.

I have not received.--It is very important to realize what your standing is. Paul's first inquiry of the Ephesians was to ascertain this.

I would give anything if it might be mine.--Because of the life, and love, and power it would bring into your life, and the immense increase of power over others, there is no sacrifice you should be unwilling to make.

I do now in humble faith receive.--There may be no coronet of flame, nor rush of wind, nor flash of joy; but if we have put ourselves in the right attitude toward God, and opened our hearts to receive--He who taught us to hunger and thirst must have bestowed.

Trump Driving Out Inhabitants of Ancient Israel as Commanded in Numbers 33
The current situation, Abu Marzouq explained, has led to a drop in the number of “Palestinian refugees” in Lebanon. He went on to say that it was one of the goals of the heavily anticipated “Deal of the Century” – Trump’s peace initiative that seeks to remove the refugee problem from the negotiating table. This means that according to Hamas, Trump is exerting pressure on Lebanon to force its inhabitants to leave the southern part of the country. And since southern Lebanon is part of Biblical Israel, it is safe to say that Trump is helping to fulfill a largely overlooked commandment in Numbers 33:

Terrorist in Critical Condition after Firebomb Aimed at Worshipers in Joseph’s Tomb Explodes Prematurely
An Arab Terrorist tried to throw a molotov cocktail at Israeli worshippers in Shechem (Nablus) on Tuesday. However, the firebomb spontaneously exploded in the perpetrator’s hands causing third-degree burns. According to reports, the terrorist is in critical condition in a Nablus Hospital. This event could be what was meant in the book of Psalms which says: He has dug a pit and deepened it, and will fall into the trap he made. His mischief will recoil upon his own head; his lawlessness will come down upon his skull. (Psalm 7:16-17)

Trump Demands Muslim Countries Show Respect to Israel
In his speech at the annual U.N. General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump spoke about the common interest of Israel and other Muslim countries of “battling extremism”, the president added: “that is why it is so important to have full normalized relations between Israel and its neighbors only a relationship built on common interest mutual respect and religious tolerance can forge a better future.” Trump then called on the international community to take action against the threat from Iran, which he said also employs anti-Semitism.

Brazilian President Anointed in ‘Temple of Solomon’ as Ruler of Brazil
Brazilian President Jair Bolosnaro recently visited the Temple of Solomon, a church built as a replica of the original Temple of Solomon that once stood in Jerusalem. The purpose of his visit was literally “Messianic”: to be anointed as the leader in the manner that King David was anointed with oil by the Prophet Samuel.

The fight over “the right to be forgotten” and why a landmark EU court case matters
Following several years of legal battles, Google has emerged victorious with the European Union Court of Justice ruling the EU’s “right to be forgotten” rules do not extend past EU borders. So Google needs only to de-index contested search results within the 28-country EU zone, and not globally. But this is only the beginning of a long, and thoroughly modern, legal conflict. The idea of the “right to be forgotten” is a thoroughly modern conundrum, amplified by the internet’s tendency to never forget anything, especially anything salacious. In the past, one could reasonably move on from any controversial misdemeanor, even ones that may have made the news. A drunk and disorderly incident, for example, may have reached local newspapers, but years pass and the isolated incident essentially disappears,…

CNN Reports on Dems Mass Defecting to Trump in Ilhan Omar’s Minnesota
A funny thing is happening in Minnesota’s mining country, however — and it could mean that the Gopher State might turn red in 2020. The trend is so pronounced in this usually Democratic corner of the world that even CNN is covering it. Take the mayor of Eveleth, Minnesota — who votes Democrat in local elections but has a Trump sticker on the front of his desk. He’s in the middle of the Iron Range, a mining area much closer to Canada than it is to the Twin Cities:

It’s gotten so bad in Europe that white girls are now wearing Islamic headscarves to avoid be sexually assaulted by Muslim migrants
During an appearance last week on OE24, a local Austrian television station, Franz stated, “Speak with women on the street, speak with children, speak with young girls. I myself know fathers who, when their daughters come home in the evening when they live in the problem area, give them headscarves so they won’t be recognized as Austrians. I know this personally, in the 15th district of Vienna, this is a fact.”

Are the Attacks on Saudi Oil Fields Foretold in Scripture?

NOTHING BURGER: White House Releases Full Transcript Of Ukraine Phone Call, Trump’s Approval Rating Hits 2.5 Year High As Americans See Through Pathetic Democrat Ploy
Well, here we are one day after the Democrats started impeachment proceedings, and hours after the White House released the full transcript of President Trump’s phone call with the president of Ukraine. The result? Trump’s approval rating is at a 2.5 year high, as the American people are rejecting this obvious and pathetic rouse by the Democrats to stop Trump from winning reelection in 2020.

Eco-hysteria girl “Greta” a victim of extreme psychological terrorism by radical left-wing handlers… it’s time to #RescueGreta
 The eco-fascists have now turned to terrorizing and mentally abusing their own children as a tactic for social influence. Greta Thunberg — the hysterical 16-year-old girl who has been rolled out by her Antifa-linked parents to lecture the world about the climate change hoax —  is apparently a prisoner of a torturous brainwashing / indoctrination scheme that has terrorized the poor girl into believing she will literally die if global warming isn’t stopped.

THE WINNER! President Reuven Rivlin Formally Gives PM Benjamin Netanyahu Mandate To Form New Government In Israel As Chaotic Election Cycle Ends
Israel has been holding their collective breath in what has become one of the most arduous and contentious elections in quite some time. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been given the chance to form a new government in Israel, but he has no easy road ahead of him. He technically could fail in his attempt to form a new government over the next 42 days. Anytime you think that elections in America are puzzling, frustration and confusion, just remember that they don’t hold a candle to crazy, seat-of-your-pants, patchwork style of governing the Israelis use to build a new governmental administration.
