Please pray Team Jesus!
From CBN:
Jews and Christians from around the world gather in Israel to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. And the ongoing protests in Iran, could they lead to regime change? Plus, an historic free trade deal between Israel and the UAE, will it inspire the rest of the region to do the same? And an urgent call to fast and pray.
Jews, Christians Gather in Israel to Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday! Listen to the audio of Billy Graham from the 1957. Billy paints a clear picture as to why America is failing. Billy shares about Pentecost. I was just 1 years-old when Billy spoke these words. Give me some of that ‘old time religion.’ Most of the Church in America falls so very short of the days of Billy. Too much Hollywood, not enough JESUS! Not enough full gospel preachers! Too much performance driven preachers seeking stardom, too much ego! EGO stands for edging out God! Billy said this, “The prophets who spoke to their generations for God did not please and conform, they opposed anything that did not honor the Lord.” That is missing in the pulpit of many Churches in America. The Church, as a whole, has become like the world!

On Pentecost Sunday, the Holy Spirit filled the Church with power and added 3,000 new believers. The account in Act 2 reports that, after Jesus ascended into heaven, Jesus’ followers were gathered together for the Feast of Harvest (aka Pentecost), and the Holy Spirit “filled the whole house where they were sitting” (Acts 2:2). “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” (Acts 2:4).
If you go back and read the Old Testament, you will discover that Pentecost was one of the Jewish feast days. Only they didn’t call it Pentecost. That’s the Greek name. The Jews called it the Feast of Harvest or the Feast of Weeks. It is mentioned five places in the first five books — in Exodus 23, Exodus 24, Leviticus 16, Numbers 28, and Deuteronomy 16.
