From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I remember as a young Christian considering the issues of Israel... Yes, God loves the place where Jesus came down and shed His Blood – Jerusalem! It was the City of David. And then there is Bethlehem, only 5 miles away, which was also called the "City of David".
What is so special about Jerusalem with God...or do we have it all wrong?
NO! WE DON'T HAVE IT ALL WRONG!
In Psalm 137:4-6, the Psalmist cries out on behalf of God's people, inspired by the Holy Spirit: "How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land? If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy."
We cannot and MUST NOT forget that Jerusalem to God is a big, huge DEAL! God loves this mountaintop place where Abraham offered his son Isaac as a living sacrifice, but God stopped him. On this spot stood the Temple, years later.
As riots and protests break out, there will be (and there are now) cries against those who are not more sympathetic to the surrounding nations. But remember that the reason Israel got Jerusalem back, was that she, Israel, was attacked by all the surrounding nations and in response, Israel took back Jerusalem in the 1967 war.
This week, as President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, many of God's prophecies came true. MANY OF THEM. Below we put together some excerpts of important prophetic words for the NOW that we can be praying into as we pray for the protection of Israel, God's chosen land.

"America and Jerusalem:
Weapons Will Not Prosper Against You"
Kim Clement
Prophesied on The Den on November 22nd, 2014:
"America, you shall be one! America, you shall stand as one! And those from the north and the south and the east and the west shall say, 'Our plans have been foiled. We did not prosper with the weapons that we sent against this nation. We did not prosper because unity began to arise from the states within America!' Because I called My people, the remnant, I called those that were called and elected for this day and for this purpose. And I can hear the sound of unity coming from this nation," says the Lord!
And new weapons that have been formed, new weapons that will come, shall be discovered before they can be used against Israel. For this is the burden of this prophet and this shall be spoken. Hear the word of the Lord:
"For today, as you bless Israel, as you endeavor to send love to Israel, My people shall receive a double portion in return. When you sow in your need, and you sow within your need, I shall bring back to you the blessing that I promised to those that would bless Israel.
"The weapons that they have formed against Israel shall be discovered before they can use it. For I will give Israel a new technology, and I will give her a new strategy, and it shall be greater than what it has now. For it shall see the plans before they can leave the ground. This is My promise to Israel, My nation," says the Lord.
This is the message which the Eternal burdened His prophet concerning Israel – the Eternal One who began existence by stretching out the sky and founding the Earth and forming the spirit deep in man. "Hear these words," says the Eternal One:
"Watch what I'm about to do. I'm going to make Jerusalem like a cup of strong alcohol to confuse all her neighboring peoples. When they lay siege to Jerusalem, Judah also will fight, and praise shall arise from the streets – not only praise for Yahweh but praise for Yahweh Yeshua. And on that day when the enemies begin to attack, I will make Jerusalem a solid stone which cannot be moved. Anyone who tries to lift her, lift the stone called Jerusalem, will only be weighed down and seriously hurt themselves," says the Lord.
"Jerusalem Will Remain Safe and Secure," Says the Lord!
"On that day, and that day is approaching now, I promise, I, the Eternal One, will confound every horse and drive every rider to madness," says the Lord. "Go Zechariah! Go Zechariah!
"I will keep a watchful eye on My people, even as I blind every war horse from every enemy nation. The people of Jerusalem cannot be... (continue reading)
