I love God's promises to the nation of Israel--His people:

"This is what the Lord says,

he who appoints the sun
to shine by day,
who decrees the moon and stars
to shine by night,
who stirs up the sea
so that its waves roar —
the Lord Almighty is his name:
"Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,"
declares the Lord,
"will the descendants of Israel ever cease
to be a nation before me."

This is what the Lord says:

"Only if the heavens above can be measured
and the foundations of the earth below be searched out
will I reject all the descendants of Israel
because of all they have done,"
declares the Lord."
Jeremiah 31:35-37

Israel and the Church are separate in the mind of God, and even though we are grafted onto the branch, the tree still stands.

Tonight on Night Watch--we are delighted to have Jan Markell, founder of Olive Tree Ministries and host of KKLA's and KKMS's Understanding the Times...and it's an added bonus that we get to talk to her on her birthday!

Happy Birthday, Jan!

I'll be a guest tomorrow on KKLA's The Frank Pastore Show at 5:30pm PST...looking forward to it. Topics are Psychic Kids and Pink Ouija Boards.

Also, this Saturday night on Night Watch I'll be talking to Jan Markell, founder of Olive Tree Ministries and host of Understanding the Times (AM980 KKMS - Saturday, 9-11am). Jan is not only a gifted radio host but a woman with a heart for God. You can listen online at kkms.com or tune in to AM980 KKMS, Saturday 8-10pm.

Tonight on Night Watch: Author Johanna Michaelsen talks about her book, The Beautiful Side of Evil. Johanna was the assistant to a psychic healer before God brought her out of the occult.

Also, check out our Night Watch Archives for last week's guests, Capt. Richard Barfield (a chaplain deployed to Haiti), Dr. Ron Rhodes (ronrhodes.org), and Jeff Harshbarger (refugeministries.cc - former Satanist), now a Calvary Chapel pastor.

I've been listening to the ex-Local Church people and their concerns--seems to make more sense than listening to anyone else. :) Also, God is blessing Night Watch (kkms.com) and we praise Him for that blessing. We are now getting emails and phone calls from all over--including the UK--amazing!

Had a great interview on The Frank Pastore Show last night (at 4:00pm PST and replayed at 6:00pm--very cool). We talked about the power behind Voodoo and the Haitian blend of Voodoo and Catholicism.

When African slaves were brought to Haiti originally, they were forced to become Catholics on pain of death, so they cloaked their African traditional religion in the guise of Catholicism and just continued to worship the Loa...good and evil spirits. This blend of Voodoo and Catholicism dominates Haiti today; almost as a national religion. Spells, animal sacrifices, curses--all are a part of everyday life.

The good news is that many Christian missionaries have been working with the Haitian people and interestingly enough, the name reporters have been hearing on the streets of Haiti during this disaster is "Jesus!" They are crying out to Him to save them when the earthquakes hit.

Hard to imagine such terrible suffering. I can't watch much of the news coverage but it is really a wonderful thing to see someone brought out alive from the rubble. I'm praying for God's mercy and compassion on the Haitian people....

Still working on my YouTube video blog...frustrating technical difficulties but I won't give up. :)

Some of you have asked me about CRI and the Local Church and frankly, I think the entire situation is grim. The proverbial gun of stupidity is to the head once more (remember Preterism?) and bang...right between the eyes...bye bye credibility for HH and friends (you can follow me on Twitter--JillMartinRiche--to enjoy even more pithy comments).

Yes, you guessed it! We completely disagree with Elliot Miller's 1970s fantasy adventure starring the Local Church.

Stay tuned for further commentary on HH and his Local Church supporters....
