Gift of You!

Do you know someone caught in the addiction of alcohol or drugs? Or maybe you find yourself in that spot and you don’t know where to turn . . . what to do to free yourself from the addiction.

As Christians, we’re so good at asking God to free us from our problems and our issues, and when it doesn’t just happen . . . when we wake up the next day and the addiction is still there . . . we wonder why God didn’t answer our prayer and come to our rescue.

The fact of the matter is, He presents the solutions to us and we don’t recognize them. We don’t recognize the solutions because they take work, and we want our solutions instantly . . . we’re looking for a quick fix. So we walk right by them. Stop for a minute and think about this . . . “faith” is a verb, not a noun, and the only evidence of our faith is if we do something . . . if we act on it! You see, you’re waiting for God to act...and He’s waiting for you to act first.

Well, Christmas is coming, and if you want to give a gift that matters, what better gift can you give to someone than the gift of you!

It requires that you do something—pick up the phone and call 1-800-NEW-LIFE and ask about the program at the Calvary Center. Whether it’s for you, your spouse, a child, a friend, a co-worker, a parent . . . give us a call . . . take that first step and see how God works. Call 1-800-NEW-LIFE today! Help someone give “the gift of you!”

You can find treatment for substance abuse in the Calvary Center’s 30-day residential program. And, beginning December 1, Calvary will also be accepting admissions for treatment of Compulsive Gambling.

It's a Christ-centered program that changes lives. See what people who have been through it say:

In a card with a picture of his family, Hugh wrote: "Take a good look at this family. The work you do everyday helped to save it. Many, many thanks."

Derek wrote: ". . . Then there's the staff. All I can say is Wow! They are an incredible group of people. They are talented and helpful. I have been fighting my alcoholism for years now without success, and I have learned more in these 30 days than all those years combined . . . "

Rhonda wrote: "Before I came to Calvary Center, my life was consumed by my addiction to pain pills . . A few lead to overmedication, loss of interest in my personal life and my children's school activities. My marriage was literally falling apart. I crashed myself right into paralyzing self doubt and anxiety. When I finally reached bottom, my family stepped in and told me I needed help. They found that help at Calvary. It has given me a new life without my addiction to those pain pills! What an incredible life changing experience that opened my eyes to the cause of addiction and the destructive life of being dependent on drugs . . . I am now set free from the life cycle of addiction. The chain is broken and my children won’t have to endure the curse of an addictive life. Thank you Calvary!"

Liz wrote: "My life consisted of daily drug use, no friends, no school, no job, and no hope. I had completely shut myself out from my family and anyone else who might make me stop using drugs . . . Something began stirring in me and for the first time in a while I felt hope. I heard a commercial about the Calvary Center while listening to your show one day. I looked forward to hearing the stories just like mine and I felt convicted not condemned for the first time in my life . . . I was frightened . . . I know in my heart the Lord was preparing me to receive His gift by speaking His hope and truth through people like you all . . . When I decided to make the call to get help this time I chose to go to a faith based treatment center because after all was said and done I knew that I needed to deepen my relationship with Christ if I was ever going to have a real chance at staying clean and sober. Calvary Center richly blessed me with truths about myself and taught me how to become an over comer in Christ . . . It's been almost two years since I have picked up a drug or a drink. I am so blessed to have been given another chance, and believe other Christians out there struggling with this very real issue, need to know that there is hope in God. Most importantly there are options and they don't have to fight this alone."

Call 1-800-NEW-LIFE today and ask about the Calvary Center, so that you can give the gift of you this Christmas. It's a gift that matters!

FOR ZION ’S SAKE I WILL NOT KEEP SILENT

Shabbat shalom dear friends and prayer warriors!

Israel is in need of much prayer this week:

Because of the constant launching of Kassam rockets from Gaza. Because of the infamous Gay Pride Parade in Jerusalem .

GAZA

Since the forceful evacuation of Gush Katif and its 8000 Jewish inhabitants, Gaza has been a source of constant threat to the city of Sderot , Ashkelon and others. Children are going to school in fear. In order to alleviate the situation, the IDF launched operation “Autumn Clouds”; which has been mildly successful. However Kassam rockets are still falling even after the military operation. Remember to pray Psalms 83, Jeremiah 12:14-17, and also please pray for mercy for Israel according to Psalms 102:13-22

From Arutz 7

Israel police are operating on a Level 3 alert following the deaths of 19 Arab civilians in an apparent IDF mishap during a retaliatory artillery attack against rocket launching areas in northern Gaza . Palestinian Authority leaders and terrorist organizations have called for Arabs to attack Jews both in Israel and worldwide.

Police reported more than 80 terror alerts this morning, including 15 “hot alerts,” referring to credible intelligence information of specific planned attacks.

The alert status was expected to move to Level 4 Friday morning if the (Gay Pride) parade was to have been held as scheduled.

Pride Parade in Jerusalem

This is the 3rd time in the last three years that the international community of homosexuals tries to march in Jerusalem . For two consecutive years we and others have prayed and fasted and The Holy One of Israel has intervened to stop it. However this year the Supreme Court has defended the “rights” of the homosexuals to exhibit their lewdness in the Holy City in spite of definite threats of violence. The Orthodox Jews have organized over 3500 buses (!) to bring people from all over the country to protest while they march in Jerusalem and especially around the Knesset (Parliament) and Government quarter. The Moslems in the city are equally incensed by this desecration of the Holy City and the Vatican has called Israel “to rethink”! On top of it their marching day is Friday the 10th of November which is the anniversary of Kristal Nacht the official beginning of the Nazi Shoa (Holocaust!) and the Torah Portion for this Friday is Genesis 18-19 about Sodom and Gomorra!

GOOD NEWS is that the organizers of the parade “have thrown in the towel” and have cancelled because of the many terror threats due to what happened in Gaza and will be holding the event in the close quarters of the Hebrew University campus instead (see news from Arutz 7 above)

From Arutz 7

In light of dozens of terrorist warnings and hundreds of thousands of expected protestors, the homosexual parade scheduled for Friday has been replaced by a rally. Only minor protests are expected.

While the Supreme Court prepares to hand down its response to four petitioners who demand that the parade be legally stopped, the organizers have essentially thrown in the towel on their own.

Fearful that the police would cancel the parade because of both increasing terror warnings and unyielding religious-community threats to actively protest it, the Jerusalem Open House - organizer of the parade - pre-emptively canceled it on its own.

Instead, it will hold a closed event in the stadium of the Givat Ram campus of Hebrew University , not far from the government complex.

Please keep praying to obstruct and dismantle this ungodly event in the Hebrew university and that the organizers will get totally DISCOURAGED from trying to do it again next year! Let us remind Yah of His promises in Ezekiel 36:21-32. Remind Him that His Holy name is at stake if this defilement is allowed in His Holy City that He calls His Throne.

“At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of Yahweh, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem . No more shall they follow the dictates of their evil hearts.” Jeremiah 3:17

Pray that Israel comes into His MIKVEH!

Much love in Y’shua,
Your friends in Israel,
Rabbi Baruch and Bishop Dominiquae Bierman
