What are they really saying when they chant, "From the river to the sea Palestine will be free?"

My Friend,

You may have heard the following chant from so called palestinian supporters: "From the river to the sea Palestine will be free." Please listen to this brief message what they are really saying when they say this!

https://youtu.be/GkO5Vw2dgiE

Hamas and pro Palestinian protesters, especially in that region of the world, don't believe that Israel has a right to exist! This is not just a call to end Jewish control from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea (all of Israel), giving control to Palestinians, it's a call for the end of Isreal and the genocide of the Jewish people. Please educate yourself on the facts before you jump on the "free palestine" or any other bandwagon. Is Israel perfect?, no, no nation is, but, We are to stand with Israel based on God's Word and His everlasting covenant with them as outlined in Genesis 12, 15, and 17. _ May you strive to be a biblical Christian which includes standing with Israel, rejecting antisemitism, and rejecting biblical illiteracy. Please remember God's instruction to everyone in Genesis 12:3 regarding Isreal where He says, "I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” _ Please join me in praying for Israel.

New Free Scripture Phone Wallpaper Image

Hello Friend,

I'm excited to share a new scripture image I put together from Psalm 121:12 to share with you for your use as a phone wallpaper image if you'd like. You can download and use the image without change for your personal phone wallpaper.

I hope you are encouraged by this scripture reminder as you remember where your help comes from!

Please take time to read, study, and take to heart, Psalm 121:1-2 for starters.

Also, I've included the previous wallpaper image I created from Psalm 27:1 in case you missed it.

Both background images are compliments of someone from the A Shepherd's Heart community who anonymously contributed them for our projects.

Thank you for your contribution of these beautiful background images! They are a perfect backdrop of these scriptures!

You're in my Prayers!

Your Brother and Servant in Christ,

The Importance of Perseverance.

My Friend,

It's no doubt that God uses our hard season of trials and battles for His glory, and for our growth and good, but what if He has you and I go through things not only for us, but also for the benefit of others too?  God may use our trials to help others navigate their own trials by watching us! They will watch and see how we, (however imperfectly) persevere and  prayerfully display an unwavering faith through whatever we face in life.

Please take time to read, study, and take to heart Romans 5:1-5, James 1:12, Galatians 6:9, James 1:2-4, 1 Chronicles 16:11, Proverbs 3:5-6 for starters, and Galatians 6:2-5.

Our trials are an encouragement to others and I pray we allow God to use us for His kingdom and Glory and for the good and growth of ourselves and others in the process. They also move others and ourselves to pray and seek Him like never before!  In closing, I want to encourage you to: 1. Continue to look to The Lord and seek His face always. (See  Chronicles 16:11). 2. Continue to persevere through each trial knowing He will lead you through it to the other side for His kingdom, glory and for your good and growth.  3. Be there for others and serve them as you seek to help encourage them, lift them up, pray for them, be an example for them, and bear one another's burdens.  You're in my prayers.  Your brother and servant in Christ, Randolph Koch Connect with A Shepherd's Heart: https://linktr.ee/ashepherdsheart (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Website, YouVersion, Telegram, and More)  Please like, comment, and reshare this message, and please like, follow, and subscribe to A Shepherd's Heart wherever you are are seeing this message.   Please help us reach and help people for God's Kingdom and Glory!

Don't Love The World.

My Friend,

Don't love the world or the things of the world and do not conform to this world. 

Instead, you and I need to conform to the things of The Lord as outlined in His Word. Not in some legalistic way, rather a faithful, faith filled, and Spirit led way.

Please watch this bring message / quote:

https://youtube.com/shorts/TbSpZSiYIIg?si=X6dmHbe9Y033MWNK

Let me encourage you guard your heart, mind, soul, and eyes from the things that seek to distract you from and lure you away from everything that matters most...specifically the things of The Lord! 

Take time to read, study, and take to heart 1 John 2:15-16 and Romans 12:2 for starters. 

You're in my prayers! 

Your brother and servant in Christ,

Randolph Koch

Fix your eyes on The Lord, not your circumstances. (See Hebrews 12:2) I want to encourage you to... 2. Abide in Christ!

Regularly read, study, and live out His Word. (See John 8:31-32) I want to encourage you to... 3. Seek, Serve, Love, and Trust The Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. (See Proverbs 3:5-6 and Matthew 22:37-39). I want to encourage you to... 4. Stay prayerful & make prayer a priority: Pray more…stay in regular conversation with Him and intercession for others. (See 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) I want to encourage you to... 5. Stay Alert! Watch for The Lord’s Return, Be on alert against the schemes of the enemy, and stay armored up! (See Matthew 24:40-44, Ephesians 6:10-18, 1 Peter 5:8) Let me encourage you to take time to read, study, and take heart the above scriptures. 2023 was a very different year to say the least and I look forward to all God has in store for us in 2024 as we seek The Lord together and as I prayerfully have the privilege of serving you this year!
