JERUSALEM (ANS) -- As over a billion people turn their eyes towards the Church of the Nativity this time of year, the holy site in Bethlehem is ready to go online via live streaming video in time for the holidays

According to a news release from IPrayTV, for the first time ever, individuals unable to make the journey in person now have Internet access to this unique site.

Streaming will begin on Christmas Eve from 4 am to 2 pm CST thru Christmas Day evening, and will be replayed through the following 48 hours to allow access for viewers in all time zones. The two feeds, one from Nativity Square and one from within the Church, will be delivered by IPrayTV.

According to the news release, IPrayTV is the first provider of Internet broadcast services to faith-based organizations linking ministries to the Holy sites through simulcast. The service has included streaming video 24/7 from key Christian holy sites in Jerusalem including Calvary, Mount of Olives, the Eastern Gate, the City of David, and the city of Jerusalem since its launch in October 2008.

The company's news release said it has developed technology that will allow viewers to see these sites simultaneously on their screens to bring Israel live to every living room across the globe.

"Since the site was launched two months ago, we've seen a strong desire among believers around the world to strengthen their connection with Israel and the Holy Sites," said Mike Peros, Founder and CEO of IprayTV, speaking in the news release.

He added, "All year the service can be a valuable tool to believer's world-wide. All the more so on Christmas, we are honored to help people build their connection to the true reason for the season from the Church of the Nativity."

IPrayTV is dedicated to linking ministries to Jerusalem and the Holy sites through its simulcast technology.

The news release said that for believers, who until recently could only witness these sites through pilgrimage in person, the ability to see and hear events at these sites in real time represents a new way to strengthen their knowledge and their faith.

I Pray TV is the only provider of Internet broadcast services to faith-based organizations linking ministries to Jerusalem and the Holy sites through simulcast.

"For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more." Hebrews 8:12 When something goes wrong, is your first thought, "Well, this must be happening to me because of the sins that I have committed"? When you have a flat tire or fall sick, do you wonder, "What sin is God punishing me for now?" If your answer to both questions is "yes," you are not alone. This kind of thinking is so prevalent in the church because many believers don't really believe that they are under the new covenant. They believe the opposite of today's Scripture and think God is not merciful to their mistakes and always mindful of their sins.

The anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit – just as it has taught you, remain in Him. (1 John 2:27 NIV) The School of Christ; that is, the School where Christ is the great Lesson and the Spirit the great Teacher; in the School where the teaching is not objective, but subjective; where the teaching is not of things, but an inward making of Christ a part of us by experience – that is the nature of this School.

I want to share a word that the Lord gave me some time ago. It was about the countless women who have been called to powerful ministries, making a significant impact in Gods kingdom. Most of these women endured immense pain and affliction in their lives, yet they remained strong and steadfast in their faith, and unwavering in their devotion to Jesus. Katherine Kuhlman once said: "The anointing will cost you everything, but it's worth it"
