Ecclesiastes 1:9 tells us “History merely repeats itself, it has all been done before.” That is showing us from historical examples given in the past, we can learn how to live in the now. We learn from their mistakes and from their true faith. I Corinthians 10:11, “These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age.” For this reason I follow the cycles of events in Jewish history which are found in the Jewish (lunar) calendar.

I have also found some incredible cycles that follow history from the calendar used for our everyday lives in North America. These cycles of events are found on April 19 and the days surrounding that date. It seems the devil likes to celebrate his victories in cycles and it brings fear during that time. As an intercessor I am on alert on the wall, speaking the Word of God over our nation and Israel.

Bill Koenig is a White House Correspondent and has followed these events through history. His website is http://www.Watch.org and I expect that he will be bringing an article regarding April 19th in History, which Bill calls, “Date in infamy for America.”

April 18-19 will be the March of Remembrance in Houston and surrounding areas. This will be the 70th anniversary of the liquidation of the Holocaust death camps. I will be marching in remembrance both days, honoring the victims and standing for the Jewish freedom in our nation as growing antisemitism blankets the earth. For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent (Isaiah 62:1)

Keep praying, don’t lose heart or give up! Keep seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. God is not a liar, what He said in His Word will come to pass. He watches over His Word to perform it. But we get to chose what we say- are we speaking fear or faith? Are we saying the same fear word the media is saying or speaking the Word of God? We choose. Life and death are in the power of our tongue.
