🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(8/6/25)[Prayer]

Water, Rivers, and Streams in the Bible
Revelation 3:14-22

To the Church in Laodicea

14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

This is a story I shared back in 2018.

The gangling youth stood awkwardly at the cashier counter of the Thrift Store. He had three large framed posters of full color vintage aircraft that were $2.99 apiece. I was next in line, and looked over his shoulder at the poster.

"Oh...those are Messerschmidts", I said.

"Yeah," he said, "And this one is a Spitfire."

"Awesome! I said."But my favorite is the P-51 Mustang."

"I got that one too, on the third poster!"

"COOL!" I said. "I've flown a Navy T-6, but never a Mustang. No one will let me try theirs out"

We both chuckled over this as the cashier rang up his purchase. "That will be $9.00" she said.

The youth carefully counted out his change, but he only had seven dollars. He ruefully placed one of the posters aside and said "I guess I'll only take these two."

Suddenly I realized that I was about to use my credit card to make my purchase (I'm over 18! LOL!) and I added the third poster to my purchase and gave it to the youth. His Jaw Dropped in wonder and he thanked me profusely. I blessed him in the Name of The Lord, as he left the store. The other patrons in the store were also puzzled and asked "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

My answer was simple. "He Spoke My Language."

The Miracle of Pentecost has caused controversy to this very day. When the Apostles spoke "in tongues" to the people, it was heard in "their language". There were thousands of visitors in Jerusalem for Shavuot, and they spoke many languages from all over the Roman Empire. Because they heard the Message in their own language, they responded to it immediately.

One of the biggest complaints about the youth these days is that they are buried in their smart phones and don't "speak our language". I have observed that their speech is reduced to a "tweet", and they will interrupt another speaker when their 147 characters are used up. It was so astounding and refreshing to me that the Kid in The Thrift Store knew about airplanes, WW2, and conversed respectfully with a Senior Citizen (Me!) about it, that three bucks on my credit card was a pleasure to spend!

The Letters to the Seven Churches of Revelation sometimes have odd expressions that don't seem to be in our language. Jesus tells the Laodiceans that they are "Lukewarm" and that he will "spew them out of His mouth". That's pretty strange.

But to the people in that town, this was very familiar. They had wanted to put the town on the map as a delightful resort town. Not so far away were natural hot springs that would make a great Spa. Several miles away were snow-covered mountains with ice-cold water. Why not pipe the hot water and the icy water, with two giant aqueducts, into the town? They already had a reputation for manufacturing lotions and salves for eyes, so this would be an awesome investment in the town. They had Roman Technology to build the pipelines, and got right to it.

When the two pipelines reached the town, neither of their contents were they way they had been at the source. The Hot Mineral waters and the sparkling mountain water both arrived lukewarm and nasty, It was a disgusting failure.

When Jesus described the church there as "lukewarm", He was speaking their language.

May we all have ears to hear and eyes to see.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

”Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” (Hosea 6:3 NIV)

Psalm 78 (9-20)

9 The Ephraimites, armed with* the bow,
turned back on the day of battle.
10 They did not keep God’s covenant,
but refused to walk according to his law.
11 They forgot what he had done,
and the miracles that he had shown them.
12 In the sight of their ancestors he worked marvels
in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.
13 He divided the sea and let them pass through it,
and made the waters stand like a heap.
14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud,
and all night long with a fiery light.
15 He split rocks open in the wilderness,
and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16 He made streams come out of the rock,
and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

17 Yet they sinned still more against him,
rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18 They tested God in their heart
by demanding the food they craved.
19 They spoke against God, saying,
‘Can God spread a table in the wilderness?
20 Even though he struck the rock so that water gushed out
and torrents overflowed,
can he also give bread,
or provide meat for his people?’
