Whose Side Are You On?

In the news, Iran celebrates while chanting ‘Death to Israel and America’. Israel reels from a proposed contract that threatens their nation’s very existence and leaders of our American government congratulate themselves on making a deal regarding nuclear weapon capabilities with Iran.  As a lifelong, passionate student of the Word of God, I should be saying that this doesn’t surprise me.  Although the Bible has been warning of these last days and what will happen, I would not have imagined that America would turn on Israel as it has now. I am witnessing what is happening with my own eyes all the while knowing deep in my heart that it is our relationship with Israel that has that has kept us from Judgment rather than ‘given us grace with God’.   It seems the world has gone topsy turvy.  What made sense in our lives even a year ago in our country and around the world has changed. What do we do?

Perhaps you have been wondering who you are in these days. What role are you supposed to play? This is what I believe; We are the witnesses to prophecies revealed and prophecies fulfilled and we are Believers in Christ and followers of His Word. But it seems the lines are getting blurry here. Christians are becoming distracted at poking, judging, looking the other way and spending their time pointing at each other. This is not a game, yet it is time to ask yourself and our leaders, “Whose side are you on?”  Are we going to turn our backs on Israel and give up on the United States of  America?

Israel has said that the day this deal was signed was the darkest day in the history of Israel.  I don’t take that statement lightly.  Events are happening in our world today that have tipped to a point where they cannot be stopped.  You don’t have to believe me, you only have to listen to the prophets, the teachers, the men and women of God that are studying the events, digging deep into God’s word and seeing Revelation coming to life NOW.  Then turn on the news; it’s really as simple as that.

Today I address the Church.  I address the Christians in my community, my state, my country and around the world:  We are meant to become One together.  We are meant to prepare ourselves for the Coming of Jesus Christ.  We love the Lord our God with ALL of our hearts, ALL of our souls.  Nowhere in the Bible does it encourage division.  We must stand together through these days and help one another.  And we must prepare for the Greatest Harvest the World has ever seen.  For that is the good news here!  People will want to know HIM!  Are you ready to teach them?  When people are hungry, are you ready to feed them?

Acts 2:17  (NIV) “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

I have picked my side and it is with Jesus Christ.  I will honor the covenant God has with Israel and I will spread the gospel to whoever will hear me!  I will not tear my brethren apart. I will pray for this country and encourage everyone to do so!  I will prepare for the coming days and encourage EVERYONE to do the same.  I will listen to God’s Word,   I will tell you every day that God loves you because He TRULY does!

It is my hope that you will take a moment to examine your own heart  and ask yourself a question that will most certainly be asked frequently in the coming days.  After you have made your own choice, I hope you will also ask our leaders the same question,  “Whose side are you on?”

Amen!

Love,

  5. here is my end times scenario i saw major earthquakes throughout the united states this caused multiple wildfires spreading then i saw a huge tsunami engulfing the coastal areas fierce winds would strike. then the economy collapsed and people were holding mass protests and riots. i also learned that a possible one world government was being formed by a handsome brown skinned man who was about 41 years of age there was also a pope like figure leading the false churches and other religions. later an huge spaceship came from outer space a strange group came out they wore silvery gray suits they claimed to be humanity’s creators and watching the earth for centuries. these strange beings met with the handsome 41 year old brown skinned middle eastern man and other world leaders. these beings promised the world to solve all its problems like wars, disease, and the economic crises that plagued humanity. they made the brown skinned middle eastern man and the pope their primary ambassadors. they would in exchange unify all the governments, economics, and religions as long as humanity simply pledge allegiance to their new one world government and religion.

  10. could not of said it better. cant wait to hear jonathan cahn. guy is a einstein of the bible. always learning
    god bless u and your whole staff thank u
    from kent city michigan

  11. Jim, thank you as always for being the guiding voice. The distractions, petty infighting, pride and self promotion even among our most supposed “anointed” Churches and members needs to stop. The times coming will stop a lot of this, but your voice reminds us to love even the unlovely and prideful as Jesus would and search our own hearts individually and ask the Lord for a truly humble and loving spirit. God bless you, always. Lynn, Moravian Falls

  12. When God called Gideon to put his army together, it wasn’t easy. Gideon had to go by FAITH into a battle with only 300 men against thousands! Those picked were the ones who stood ready at all times; even when they were supplying their own needs……They had to show God that they were serious Believers that would go where they were told to go and do what they were told to do. They took Gideon seriously. How about you? are you ready for whatever may lie ahead of us? Do you know in your heart that The Lord will not fail you? If you do, then what are you waiting for/ The fields are ripe for the Harvest NOW You can talk about “it” all you want and miss the boat as it passes you by; because you were too busy just talking about
    it. Do you know if you will live through a disaster? So, when will you get busy for God then? I got news for you, people are hurting NOW. They need the Lord NOW. Everywhere I go, the Lord places people in front of me that I can witness to; encourage, help them get healed;share the Cross with, point them to their own Salvation. I’m not waiting; Jesus said that He would prefer that NONE should perish; and,so do I. Talk is cheap. Faith without works is dead. In then end, we will still be held accountable for opening our mouths, or acting when the Holy Spirit has directed us to do so. There are no coincidences with God;every person
    you meet is for a reason. Everyone in need that you become aware of, is for a reason; either to test you or bless you or both. Get up people, and get going! Don’t let the spirit of fear delay you one more day!

  13. Dear Jim,

    Although, yes, you’re right, according to the Bible; that all of the nations of the world should indeed “support” the State of Israel; that NEVERTHELESS; the Lord still gives us ominous prophetic WARNINGS in His word; that, in the “Latter Days”, even HE himself will go “against” Israel – for her refusing to REPENT before Him, and turning her life over to her original “Jewish” messiah, Jesus (or “Yeshua”) himself.

    The Lord is deliberately causing every NATION (i.e., Hebrew, “goyim”) to indeed be more inordinately “focused” upon Israel, in CONTRAST to all of the OTHER nations of Planet Earth. And that reason is actually – NOT so much because the Israelites themselves were “innocent” of sin, like the Biblical character, Job, who suffered losing EVERTHING (by the hands of Satan) primarily because of his “righteousness” towards God; BUT rather, unlike Job himself, the Israelites constantly REBELLED against God; and thus, constantly PROVOKED the Lord in bringing on His deadly wrathful “judgments” against His own “people”; so as to make LIFE so “miserable” for Abraham’s “seed”; so as to ultimately provide the Israelites an “incentive” to finally REPENT – and thus, STOP sinning against Him. And just “ONE” of God’s methods of “judging” His people, was (and now, still IS) creating geo-political “upheavals” that would unavoidably INVOLVE – and circumscribe – the State of Israel within the context of contemporary Middle-Eastern politics. That is, for centuries, as part of God’s punishments upon Israel, for unrepented SIN; that consequently, one of the “things” that God would do to the Holy Land, would be to cause His people to get unavoidably “mixed up” in the international wars between enemy nations that were involved in the geo-politics of the Middle East, for great unsurpassed wealth and power.

    Therefore, Jim, let us humbly realistically consider the ominous prophetic Biblical warnings of the Old Testament, and humbly acknowledge God’s wrath upon the nations, including upon Israel herself; given that, according to the prophet Zechariah; THAT, during the War of Armageddon, as discussed in his chapters of 12, 13, & 14; that the Lord Himself is going to bring about such unprecedented and unexpected DEVASTATION upon the Land of Israel; that consequently, after God Himself destroys TWO-THIRDS of all of Israel; that accordingly, AFTERWARD – and then – and only then, will the Lord save His people from utter ANNIHILATION from the armies of the world that will encompass Israel about and try to finally totally destroy her. However, God saving Israel from utter destruction will come with a devastating PRICE; that being, with the Lord Himself being responsible for having TWO-THIRDS of His own people being “cut down” – or DIE – during the War of Armageddon.

    Even as Zechariah 13:8-9 states: “ ‘In the whole land’, declares the LORD, ‘two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will bring into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘THE LORD IS OUR GOD.’ ”

    Therefore, according to Zechariah 13:8-9, it will be the righteous ONE-THIRD Jewish “remnant” coming out Armageddon who will be “saved” by God, for calling on the “NAME OF THE LORD” – i.e., calling on our Messiah, “Yeshua HaMashiach” – or “Jesus the Christ”, the “Anointed One”; while the other two-thirds will have still REFUSED to have “repented”, thereby causing themselves to be DESTROYED by their own “GOD”; along with the other unrepentant peoples of the earth; and including the very armies that come against the Holy Land itself.

    Furthermore, it appear that Ezekiel, chapters 38 & 39 demonstrate that; AFTER Russia, China, and the rest of the EASTERN CONFEDERACY attack and destroy the West; that CONSEQUENTLY, these same eastern powers are going to “COME AFTER” the Anti-Christ himself, whose world capital will be LOCATED right in the holy city of Jerusalem; and of whose very THRONE will be located RIGHT INSIDE the very TEMPLE of this same city, according to Daniel 9:23-27 and 2 Thessalonians 2:4; and THUS, with the Eastern Confederacy attempting to attack, destroy, and finally CONQUER the Holy Land itself – AND all to take place during the War of Armageddon; which, at this particular prophetic moment in World History, the Eastern powers will DEVASTATE nearly all of the people of Israel – and their infrastructure; BUT, according to Bible prophecy, these same invading eastern nations will most certainly FAIL in their evil military attempt to finally and utterly DESTROY Israel and the Jewish People; since, according to Zechariah 14:3-5, the Lord God Himself will “DESCEND” to Earth, directly from Heaven, and set His “feet” upon the Mount of Olives, and “FIGHT against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle” [for Israel, as He’d already done, during the days of the Old Testament].

    And one day, when Armageddon finally arrives by God’s design, this is EXACTLY what we’re gonna see in the future, if we even get a chance to live and witness such a horrible tragedy – if the Israelis, TODAY, still refuse to repent of sin – and turn their lives over to their original “Jewish Messiah”, Jesus!

    Therefore, Jim, let us pray for SPIRITUAL REVIVAL in Israel – lest they FORCE the Hand of God, and Zechariah 13:8-9 does indeed come to pass!!

  14. Thank you for this update. MY heart is so HEAVY…….. Yahuvah’s hand is getting lifted off our country every day……prayer taken out of schools, abortion legalized (I saw on a website in a large glass pie plate looking petri dish the little legs of a 11 1/2 week old BABY…NOT BLOB OF FLESH from a place called Stem Express who procured the murdered BABY from Planned Parenthood), Homosexual marriage legalized (by five evil black robed justices) and now this betrayal of Israel….Whoa to those who call evil good and good evil. The Shemitah is coming in September and then the Jubilee………..roller coaster is out of control. Yah’s Grace be on us who HONOR Him. Bless you Pastor Bakker, Lori and Morning side staff. Love your prophet guest lineup you have been having on your show. I have been watching your Revelation study series on PTL network on ROKU. I watch your show weekly and love the live taping’s when I can catch them on internet. Looking forward to Rick Wiles on 7-31-15.Thank you for standing STRONG…I love your vigor on your show when you get riled up (ARE YOU LISTENING PEOPLE)…I am right next to you!!!
    In Messiah’s light, Gwen/Texas

    Shalom Sir Shalom…..Pray for the PEACE of ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. Hi Jim and Lori…A long obedience in the same direction is the message that I hear these days. Our joy is that we we’re called out by name and responded…..bless you both with bundles of joy! Donna

      • We support Israel also and have called our represenatives to do the same. I saw a story on the internet that Texas along with about 20 states, have put their own sanctions on Iran, and will be able to withhold part of the money going to Iran. Unfortunately they can’t stop them from developing nukes. Could you check to see if this story is true? Shaun
