There was so much that happen in Washington it was an eyes opener for us. As many of you recall we took a mission trip in April to Juarez, Mexico. It was then the Lord spoke to me as to the Taliban I had never paid much attention to that word till now. He told me that they were hiding behind the drug lords working to over throw the Mexican government. That they were already in the United States and in time would try to over throw our government. He said, to tell my remnant to pray, to stay under my covering, and that those that were not under His covering would suffer much.
At this conference we hear much concerning Iran and the Taliban, what they are doing to the world and to Jerusalem. How they are try to destroy the Jews and over take Israel and destroy America. So much information was given concerning standing in the gap for The Jewish Nation.
This event was intended to teach Christians the importance of standing with Israel and to build bridges between Christians and Jewish communities. For many years the only churches in America to hold Night to Honor Israel were John Hagee and Pastor George Morrison’s Faith Bible Chapel.
There were over 4,000 in attendance at this conference in Washington D.C. “Christians United For Israel”. The told us that there are also 50 million in the U.S. who are in support of Israel. When this kind of news hits the media they never take notice, but we know that God did. This is the fourth year that “Christian United of Israel” has gathered in Washington. The Conference keeps growing more every year. There were Representative from 50 states in the US and six continents. This mission trip is one we will never forget. We are ready to do what we can to help the Jewish Nation.
I want to share with you what we have learned that will happen to Israel and America if we don’t pray and seek action. I know you would like to know how to pray for our Jewish brother and prayer is what we need at this time. If we don’t stand together and ask God for guidance we will be destroyed by some radical terrorist. Iran is serious about destroying Israel and American if we don’t stand with them.
Isaiah 62:1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burn
The points below will explain what we have TO DO in order to get the attentions of our government. They need to take action before it’s too late.
ISRAEL IS NOT THE PROBLEM; PRESSURE ON ISRAEL IS NOT THE SOLUTION.
Background: Since taking office, President Obama has indicated that resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict will be one of his Administration’s top foreign policy priorities. He has called upon Israel to immediately cease the natural growth of its West Banks settlements, and he may pressure Israel to make significant territorial concessions.
Point #1: We applaud President Obama’s desire for peace in the Middle East. The Arab-Israeli conflict has gone on far too long. Too much innocent blood has been spilled. We fervently pray for the peace
Point #2: Israel has consistently embraced the peace and has taken significant risks for peace. In the 1990’s, Israel withdrew from most of the Arab populations centers in the West Bank. In 2000, Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon. In 2005, Israel withdrew all of its soldiers and settlers from Gaza. Israel consistent embraced the peace process and taken significant risk for peace.
Point #3: Israel’s risks for peace have not met with encouraging results. In each case, terrorism against Israel only increased. In 2002, Israeli troops had to reenter most of the West Bank to stop bloody wave of Palestinian suicide bombing in Israeli restaurants, cafes and buses. Israel has consistently embraced the peace and has taken significant risks for peace. Israel’s risks for peace have not met with encouraging results. In each case, terrorism against Israel only increased. Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon was followed by thousands of missiles being launched into northern Israel. Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza was followed by thousands of rockets being fired into southern Israel.
Point #4: Israel is not the obstacle to peaces in the Middle East. The real obstacle to peace is the refusal of Hamas, Hezbollah and even many supposed moderates to recognize Israel’s right to exists. Peace will come only when Israel’s neighbors are ready to recognize Israel and renounce terror—in both word and deed.
Action Items: Urge your senators and congressmen to oppose American pressure on Israel to make territorial concessions which the Israelis themselves do not wish to make. Given Israel‘s track record of taking ricks for peace we should respect the views of Israel‘s democratically elected leaders when it comes to considering further concessions.
STOPPING IRAN‘S NUCLEAR PROGRAM – PART 1
Background: Legislation has been introduced in both the Senate [S. 908] and the house [H.R. 2194] called the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanction Act of 2009. This bill would require the President to impose sanctions on companies providing refined petroleum to Iran or helping Iran to expand its own refining capacity. Although Iran is a major petroleum exporter, it actually imports 40% of its gasoline and other refined petroleum products.
Point #1: The president of Iran has repeatedly threatened to wipe Israel off the map. He’s also threatened to destroy America. He is repressing democracy political dissent at home.
Point #2: The window to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power is rapidly closing. According to United Nations officials, Iran already has enough enriched uranium to produce a nuclear weapon. Many observers believe that Iran could covert this enriched uranium into a nuclear weapon in less than one year.
Point #3: The only peaceful way to convince Iran to abandon its nuclear program is to make the economic price of this program too high. Today date, sanctions have been too weak to force the Iranians to change their policy. But reducing the flow of gasoline to Iran would have an immediate and powerful economic impact. Targeting Iran’s gasoline is our best hope for persuading the Iranians to abandon their nuclear program.
Point #4: As a candidate, President Obama recognized the importance of this approach when he stated during the October 7, 2008 debate that: “Iran right now imports gasoline….if we can prevent them form importing the gasoline that they need…that starts changing their cost-benefit analysis. That starts putting the squeeze on them. If we can prevent them for importing the gasoline that they need…that starts changing their cost-benefit analysis.
Action Item: If your senator or representative has already co-sponsored the Iran Refined Petroleum Act please thank them for doing so.
Action Item: If your senator or representative has not co-sponsored this bill please urge them to do so as soon as possible.
Action Item: Urge your senator and representative to press their leadership for prompt committee and floor action on this bill. Time is running out. We must act NOW to stop Iran’s nuclear program.
STOPPING IRAN‘S NUCLEAR PROGRAM—PART 2
Background: Legislation has been introduced in both the Senate [S. 1065] and the House of Representatives [H.R. 1327] called the Iran Sanction Enameling Act of 2009. The bill authorizes state and local governments to divest from companies investing in Iran’s petroleum and natural gas sector and protects funds managers who divers from such companies from potential lawsuits.
Point #1: Divesting by state and local governments and funds from companies doing business with Iran to tougher sanctions. Such divestment can have a significant multiplier effect in convincing companies that doing business with Iran is simply an unacceptable financial risk.
Point #2: Many states and local government and pension funds managers have resisted calls to divest from companies doing business with Iran because they are concerned that it may be illegal to do so . Investment fund managers in particular are worried that if they divest from profitable companies which do business with Iran they can be sued by investors for failing to minimize profits.
Point #3: Congress must send a message at once that it is not only fully legal, but enthusiastically encouraged, to divest from companies doing business with Iran.
Point #4: When President Obama was in the Senate, he was one of the original sponsors of this legislation.
Action Items: If your senator or representative has already co-sponsored the
Iran Sanctions Enabling Act, please thank them for doing so.
Action Item: If you senator or representative has NOT co-sponsored this bill, please urge them to do so as soon as possible.
Action Item for Senators: Urge your senator’s top press their leadership prompt committees and floor action on this bill. Time is running out. We must act now to stop Iran’s unclear program.
Action Item for Representatives: Urge your representative to press their leadership for prompt floor action on this bill (THE BILL HAS ALEADY PASSED THE RELEVANT HOUSE COMMITTEE). Time is running out. We must act NOW to stop Iran’s nuclear program.
Thank for helping us spread this information to other that need to know.
Representatives to the Jewish Nation,

P.S. We met with Congressman Mike Coffman in Washington. We expressed to him our concerns concerning this issue. If we all do something about this we will see a change and the enemy will not have his way.
