Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni could become Israel's second female prime minister.

Feb. 11, 2009 - In extremely tight parliamentary elections held in Israel on Tuesday Tzipi Livni, Israel's foreign minister and leader of the centrist Kadima Party, appeared to have gained one seat more than tough rival Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu, whose party was favored to win in the run-up to yesterday's elections.

With 99.7 percent of the votes counted, Livni's Kadima won 28 seats out of the Knesset's 120 parliamentary seats while Netanyahu's conservative Likud won 27 seats, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA). In third place with 15 parliamentary seats was Israel Beiteinu, the ultra-conservative party led by Avigdor Lieberman, a Russian Jew.

Final results will not be available until Feb. 18.

Consumed with despair over her husband's leaving her for another woman, Debbie spent months thinking about taking her life. But one night in 2003, after deciding she would be better off dead, she accidentally logged on to LivePrayer.com.

"I had never seen you before, but I knew that you were speaking truth and love," she wrote in a recent e-mail to LivePrayer.com host Bill Keller. "I e-mailed you shortly after that, and for almost five years you have been kind enough to keep in touch with me. Your kind attention and care and love have been a stronghold that I have clung to for all these years."

At this point in history believers are caught in a tug of war between a demonically inspired blanket of fear designed to neutralize us on the one hand, and the time of our lives in joy and power on the other. Negative prophetic words fail to address the real issues and actually weaken us when we need to be strengthened. Now is the time for us to rise. Now is the time of the fulfillment of promise. Now is the time for our destiny and purpose to become real.
