My friends...with the recent events in Israel, in seeking His face for the safety of His beloved bride within her, He brings to my remembrance reflections from April 16th in regards to our personal and corporate obedience to His voice: "He begins to whisper ideas into the ear of our minds, waiting for a response with the mouth of our minds. He watches to see if we will demonstrate faith by doing what HE said, or if we will cower to the fears that begin to shout Him down. Will we rationalize disobedience because His voice was inaudible, merely a figment of our imagination? Or will we make the leap of faith and actually BE the hands and feet and mouth piece of our God? His eyes roam to and fro looking for someone who will say, "Here I am, Lord, send me." He doesn't push. He sends. He gives the command. The servant's heart will hear it, even when others don't believe. The servant's heart will listen ONLY to the voice of his Master. The servant becomes a son, and the Father acknowledges with tokens of love and acceptance. What a beautiful picture we have here. RELATIONSHIP. Friends, seek to know Him through OBEDIENCE. He is a good, good Father."

I have been given confirmation to sound the shofar definitely for the beginning of Shavuot and possibly the end of Shavuot (although I will be at work, so I'm not sure how to work that out yet). I am looking at blowing on Israeli time for 11:31 a.m, May 19, here in Louisiana. If my calculations are correct, that would be their sunset time of 7:31, May 19. Bro. Peter, you have more experience with what would be the traditional or appropriate time to perform this. I would appreciate your input. I wanted to post so that all who want to be of one accord could blow with me. I am going to be seeking intercessory prayer for Jerusalem and Israel. I would appreciate any feedback from those who have felt any sort of burden to do the same. Thank you!

My brothers and sisters...He sits at the table with the wounded and the poor. He laughs and shares stories with the thief and the whore. He is on our side. Rejoice! When the women reported Him missing from the tomb, their own friends thought them to be telling idle tales. But truth is stranger than fiction. He is THE Way, THE Truth, and THE Life. HE ALONE is THE Door. I have played the whore when I was young and stupid. I did things I regret. My sins followed me, like a dark shadow trying to consume me. But when I found His laws and submitted to His ways, He took my whoredoms and washed them white as snow. He began to heal my self inflicted wounds. He began to take the shattered pieces of my life and create a miraculous mosaic of beauty, strength, hope, and honor. He is on our side. Halleluyah!

I need recommendations on where to acquire a shofar. Bro. Peter, do you have any suggestions?
