Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






The Story of Joseph

Genesis, Chapter 39



Joseph a Slave in Egypt

1. Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there. 2. The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3. And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand. 4. So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority. 5. So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house and in the field. 6. Thus he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. 7. And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.” 8. But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. 9. There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” 10. So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her. 11. But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, 12. that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. 13. And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside, 14. that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. 15. And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.” 16. So she kept his garment with her until his master came home. 17. Then she spoke to him with words like these, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me to mock me; 18. so it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside.” 19. So it was, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me after this manner,” that his anger was aroused. 20. Then Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison. 21. But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever they did there, it was his doing. 23. The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph’s authority, because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem








Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be Your Holy Name!
You Are Holy, Righteous and Just,
And Glorious in Majesty!
How we Love to Worship You,
For Your Alone Are The One True God.
Perfect in All Your Ways
Almighty and Omnipresent,
You Are The GREAT I AM,
The Rock of Ages,
The Ancient of Days.
Slow to Anger and Abounding in Tender Mercies!

As we read of the false accusations
And the totally unjust Treatment of Your Servant Joseph,
We can get so angry at the injustice that he suffered.
Yet he maintained his integrity
In spite of the temptations,
accusations, enslavement,
betrayal by his own brothers,
slander and lies!
Joseph maintains his dignity and integrity throughout his ordeal,
and Because of this You blessed him in whatever dire circumstance he found himself.
What a Wonderful example for all of us,
especially in light of current events!

LORD, We ask that You fill the leaders of the USA with Your Spirit,
Bring the Truth To Light, Abba Father,
And expose all the Liars!

For the Sake of Your Anointed,
and For The Sake of Your Name,
we pray for the Peace of Jerusalem,
For Israel,
According to Your Word,
and Your Promise.

Father, We eagerly await Messiah,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem







I am finding the news from Israel of Obama's duplicity SO disturbing! Especially as they chronicle his "visit" in the media, showing him at the Shrine of the Book, where I once gazed in awe at the Dead Sea Scrolls, and his atrocious speech at the Binyanme Haouma (sp?) Convention Center, where I spent Many awesome hours worshiping the One True God and sharing in Communion with Christians from all over the World. The mere THOUGHT of him at the Western Wall gives me the creeps. Grrrrrr.

However, Joseph faced a monolithic wall of lies and injustice that dwarfs anything I have ever had to face. He was betrayed by his Own Brothers, By Slave Traders, By His Employer, and by the Government, yet he maintained his Faith and Integrity throughout. May you be Blessed by the re-telling of this Wonderful, Redemptive Story!

Come and pray For The Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

I am so sorry myself ML. Yesterday, I wanted to hope for the best. Today, I come before the FATHER: 9:17 Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy, and for your own sake, O Lord,make your face to shine upon your sanctuary, which is desolate. 18 O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations, and the city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your Great Mercy. 19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. Delay not, for your own sake, O my God, because Your city and your people are called by Your name.” .... Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem among the rhetoric of the nations.. among the rhetoric of the President. To GOD alone be the GLORY ♥ To Yeshua alone be the PEACE ♥ To the Holy Spirit alone be the POWER...ONE GOD forever and ever...Amen.

Don't feel bad, Jeanbl. It is a GOOD thing to "hope for the best", but it doesn't always turn out the way we expect or want.

Of Sheep, Sheepdogs, Shepherds and Wolves
Ebben Raves

The sheep, or as many call them, the sheeple, are content to graze in the pasture of television and newspapers, living their lives without a care in the world. Some are true believers, biting at every sprig of lusciously painted foliage offered. Most, however, are satisfied with the sustenance their current enclosure provides them. Cyprus? Drones? It doesn’t matter to them; they go on with their lives oblivious to the world around them as long as they have March Madness and Honey Boo-Boo. Since they obey the law, why should they care? Surely, the government is here to protect them. They’re good citizens. In fact, the government is supposed to take care of them, isn’t it?

Enter the sheepdogs — armed servants whose job is to protect the sheep from the wolves. Most, if not all, would acclaim that they are noble creatures. After all, they are the ones laying their lives on the line to protect the defenseless. Noble creatures, indeed — it does take a special kind of individual to go into harm’s way. Never question the sheepdog, though, for they are the only ones keeping the wolves at bay. They are the protectors of the sheep. This has been drilled into the minds of everyone who has been in that role, myself included. But, are they? Who do they really protect?

Picture the shepherd, ever peaceful and vigilant, overlooking his flock in the valley below. He knows his sheepdogs are keeping the flock in check, since he is the one that feeds them and they answer only to him. He has his staff in hand in case he needs to reign in a sheep that has gone astray or strike a sheepdog that dares to disobey. He is the master. The sheep give their wool and eventually, their flesh to him; the sheepdogs their lives. Few know it: all accept it.

The wolves? Why, they’re who the shepherd says they are, of course.
