I stand with Israel!

The last 2 weeks or so the Lord has really been putting a love for Israel in my heart. I've always known to support and love Israel. Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. I've known that most of my life and most of my life I've prayed for Israel and prayed for the "peace of Jerusalem" but recently I've just felt a stirring towards the nation of Israel and the Jews. I don't really know how to explain it, except that I know it's the result of prayer from people like Pastor Susan, who pray for the church to see the importance of blessing Israel and having a love for the nation. Monday night I was driving home from LWBTC and I had a strong urge to prayer for Israel, it seemed really random! I started praying and I was amazed at what was coming out my mouth! Yesterday all day I was thinking/praying for Israel. Then last night I went to the Stand with Israel meeting at church. It was SO good! I just started crying about half way through - I didn't even really know why!
All I know is God is doing something in my heart regarding His people and nation! I want to see the church wake up to this too! Even if Israel isn't something you will devote your time to (like Billye Brim or someone like that) it needs to be a priority in your heart!
It needs to be of high importance in our minds! Israel is God's nation and God's people! We need to love what God loves and Israel is on the top of His list!

I stand with Israel!
