Divine Delay or Divine Denial: What’s Next? Part 02

  We continue to look at the topic of divine delay or divine denial: What next? After all, many of us have prayed hard in the face of Covid-19, riots, social unrest, including in the US election, etc. What is God doing in all this? A valid question. Last month, we offered the following assessment: God hears and is pleased with our prayers, but He wants us to develop a persistent and prevailing attitude in prayer. On these points I want to quote from best-selling author and master intercessor, Dutch Sheet, in his Give Him 15 post for 1 March 2021: As intercessors, we must be strong in perseverance. Whether interceding for a person or a nation, it often requires a prolonged season of time to see results. This is not because it takes a while to convince or motivate God, but our prayers are releasing His power into situations to change people ’ s thinking, stop demonic activity, release life, and more.

US Presidential Election: Prayer Points

2020 - What Lies Ahead Part 01

As we enter into a new year, and a new decade, there is great concern, anxiety, yet excitement, at what lies ahead. What should we watch for? What should we expect in the year 2020? The United States & Iran: Please look for our separate blog on this topic, which is also part of the Issachar Teaching eLetter. Israel: Before we focus on the US Presidential Election of 3 November, let us keep our eyes on Israel. The Jewish State is scheduled to go to the polls on 2 March 2020, for the third time in a year. This unprecedented situation occurred because no major political party has been able to form a coalition from the April 2019 and September 2019 elections. The other thing to watch what happens to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest serving Prime Minister, now in a care-taker role. He was indicted in November 2019 by Israel’s attorney general for bribery, corruption, and breach of trust in three separate cases. Netanyahu denies all charges. Will he go on trial in 20...
