City Ministry

Alice Smith, who with a team has spiritually-mapped the City of Houston for four decades, takes us with her to some of the most spiritually-troubled spots on Earth. Spiritual mapping exposes how Satan and his forces claim property on which they can freely operate, and how the land can be liberated from their control. Jesus died "to reconcile all things unto Himself." (Col 1:20) Alice shares how she and her team approach such a task; then takes us on several spiritual mapping journeys with them.

In the campaign leading up to the election of Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate frequently discussed the importance of moving the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. For many conservative Christian Americans and Israelis, this was tantamount to the United States agreeing to Jewish control over Jerusalem. As it stands now, the US has a consulate in Jerusalem, yet no country houses their embassy in Jerusalem due to the conflicting claims of the Israelis and Palestinians.

It was a Roman historian and writer, St. Augustine, who coined the phrase "City of God" in a book of the very same title. But the city of God that Augustine was referring to was not in Jerusalem. When Augustine wrote his book, it was hundreds of years after the Jewish city of Jerusalem had been overrun and destroyed by the Roman legions; he was writing of Rome as the city of God and the center of the Roman Catholic faith.
