When we read about the early church in the book of Acts it is not hard to notice the rapid growth and abundance of miracles that were characteristic of the church then—and eves lament the scarcity of them now. Perhaps there is another important distinguishing characteristic of the early church we often ignore—the early church was predominantly Jewish !
There are good reasons why we as a Christian ministry should stand with Israel. For starters -Jesus is a Jew!
We serve the God of Israel, the Holy One of Israel.
When God chose to redeem mankind, He sent His only begotten Son into a Jewish womb and Jewish family.
If He has attached His name, His reputation, His story and His heart with them; how can we love Him and not love His brethren?
In a time of increased anti-Semitism, Christians should be the best and most reliable friends of the Jewish nation.
There has been a shift in the heavenlies. Battle lines have been drawn in the spirit realm. These lines of demarcation are not based upon geographical locations, nationality or language but upon spiritual truths of faith. The Word of God is the plumbline.
When the reality of life appears to contradict what God has said and promised; how do we respond? Do we hold God’s word, reject His word, seek clarification, or blame the prophets for being ‘wrong’?
2020 has tested all of society—including the Church. It has been a ‘perfect storm’ to test and purify our hearts in ways we have not experienced before. “In the same way that gold and silver are refined by fire, the Lord purifies your heart by the tests and trials of life.” (Proverbs 17:3 TPT)
Against all odds, Scott Morrison won the 2019 Australian election. He called it a “miracle”! As experts scratched their heads, what they didn’t realise, the miracle did not occur in a vacuum! Across Australia, thousands of Christians united to pray for a righteous government. And ordinary people became concerned about losing freedom of speech as Rugby star Israel Folau lost his playing career for quoting the Bible on social media—a fight that continues to escalate daily! Vitriolic attacks on Christians by the Political Correctness Police and the LGBT community riled quiet Aussies.
You may be shocked to discover the Bible addresses why Australia keeps changing Prime Minister! Sadly, our frequent change of PM is the butt of many jokes. While Australians may laugh about it, simultaneously the nation is frustrated, disgusted, and has lost trust in politicians. 
Joy is not only a fruit of the Spirit, joy is also a specific anointing to strengthen us in times of loss and mourning.
Excerpt from book yet to be published "How to Fast Grumbling - 40 Days of Gratitude" by Ruth Webb
The restoration of the Tabernacle of David is prophecy being fulfilled. Restoration began when Peter first ministered to the Gentiles. The Jewish Apostles were grappling with the concept that the Gospel was also for the Gentiles.
