The list obviously goes on and on, too many problems to mention in this article. But the point is clear. We are heading into troubled times. Some believe it is evidence that the coming of Christ is near. But whether it is or not, it is a time when believers must ban together. We must pray harder than we ever have and work harder than we ever have. This battle is a spiritual one that only God can handle. And so, Community Spirit asks or begs you to pray continually for our

country, for world peace and especially for the souls of those who have not encountered the life-saving belief in Jesus. Will you join us in prayer for the next 90 days? From October 15th – December 15th. Find us on FaceBook and add your name to those willing to take on this challenge. It is time for Christians to first bow to our Creator and then to rise up to be a voice for change.

Celebrate Veterans Day 2013! Lets pledge to not let Veteran’s Day pass by unnoticed this year. Stop and truly be thankful. Be open and vocal as you thank those around you who have served us.

Join us in our prayer list… 1. Thank you for Heroes 2. Ask God to Raise up New Heroes 3. Thanksgiving for Prayers Answered 4. A Prayer for Our Kids Protection 5. And finally, a Request for God to Heal Our Nation, for complete revival and for protection from both our enemies and from the attitudes and ideas which damage us from within.

Victory Christian Center to Host A Night to Honor Israel

V

ictory Christian Center in conjunction with churches from the metro area are gathering Christians together once again for a unique event. Entitled “A Night to Honor Israel,” the evening is a way for Christians to unite in support for Israel. Possibly, the timing of this year’s event might be the most important as Israel finds itself surrounded with enemies. Organizers believe the Bible commands us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), to speak out for Zion’s

sake (Isaiah 62:1), to be watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:6) and to bless the Jewish people (Genesis 12:3). They say that these and many other Bible verses have one overriding message-as Christians we have a Biblical obligation to defend Israel and the Jewish people in their time of need. 

 Some fear there is a threat of a new Holocaust looming in the future as more and more gather against Israel. They say that if we learned anything from the Holocaust, it is that when madmen and nations threaten genocide we must take them seriously. 
During the Holocaust, too many Christians were silent, and we were left to mourn the slaughter of 6 million Jews. Today, Bible-believing Christians are speaking up and standing up for

Israel. This year’s A Night to Honor Israel will be held at Victory Christian Center on October 7th at 7:00 p.m. Keynote Speaker will be Eric Stakelbeck. Stakelbeck is a sought-after authority on terrorism and national security issues with extensive experience in television, radio, print and digital media. Since 2005, he has been a correspondent and terrorism analyst for CBN News. He covers the global war on terror, U.S. national security, the Middle East and the growth of radical Islam at home and abroad for the network’s Washington, D.C. bureau. A Night to Honor Israel will also feature Maurice Sklar, reknown violinist as well as a full program of music directed by the Victory’s Miriam Springer. Special guests will include the new Israeli Emissary to Tulsa, Shiri Achaisas, Congressman Jim Bridenstine and Mayor Dewey Bartlett. Seats are free but an offering will be taken.
