Shalom to you all!
My country is divided and I need all your prayers. The real fact is that we are not united,; we aren't united then our Lord GOD can't intervene to help us as He must. Of course He is sovereign and free to act as He wants.

While we live on the face of this earth, we will have troubles, hardships and trials. As followers of Jesus Christ, we have an arch enemy in Satan, who is out to destroy the church. So, we should expect that we will be hated, persecuted, despised and rejected of humankind. Although Satan is our...
