After flying into Beirut, our first full day on the ground, we had the opportunity to travel with our our guide (whose name I will withhold for protection) through the city, down the coast of Lebanon, praying over regions and distributing scripture.  One of our stops was at a Roman Ruin in the city of Sidon.

We had a chance to read from 1 Kings 11:1-5 at this location: ”King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.  As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. ⁵ He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech the detestable god of the Ammonites.”

The location we were standing at, was a temple believed to be build by Solomon, to the goddess Ashtoreth (one of the goddesses that Solomon followed when he was lead astray from God by His many wives). We could see the throne, inner courts area and even an alter were sacrifices would have taken place. (see pictures).

We also had an opportunity to visit a Muslim Mosque in Sidon, more roman ruins in Tyre and pray throughout the country for God to move as His word was being and will be distributed throughout the region in the days ahead.  It was during that time, as we traveled and visited many different ministries over the next fews days, that my prayer became that of Matthew 9:35-38:

“Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Did you know the origins of the internet have been around since the late 50s and 60s?  It was first used by the government in projects of its military agencies to build robust, fault-tolerant and distributed computer networks.

How much has the internet affected our culture since its public release in 1994?  Think about how much time you spend on facebook, twitter, surfing, paying bills, surfing and checking email alone. Its growth supersedes astounding.

Watch this video for the staggering statistics:

Check out this incredible vision video by Hillsong Church in Australia (watch the entire video, you won’t regret it). This video spurred on a passion in my heart that I have had since I was young.It has always been my dream to lead and be apart of a team of people who Love God, Love Others and Prove It Everyday by how we live our lives! – to be apart of the solution to the worlds problems. – to be LOVE and show LOVE through our words and actions.- being ordinary people who are so in LOVE with an extraordinary God who choose us to bring His Kingdom here on earth.What if we surrendered our fears, our doubts, our worries, our futures, our ALL to God everyday and followed His lead?Who knows what would happen, only God does. I don’t know about you… but I’m all in. Will you join me?

Things Are Not Always As They Seem!

This reminds me of a passage of scripture that says, 
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it 
leads to death." - Proverbs 16:25.

Don't be fooled by the schemes of the world.  

Know the Truth (Jesus) and the Truth (Jesus) will set you Free.
