Editorial Special Section: Tim Dutch: Fresh Air
Message : Tim Sheets Date: January 2, 2023 Source : “Give Him 15”
We are in amazing supernatural times in which new plans from the Godhead have begun to manifest. In many ways last year set the table prophetically for our future. Prophetic words from the past received fresh emphasis and have begun to activate. I recently heard Holy Spirit say, ‘It is time for God-happenings, thousands of Kingdom events will occur.’

(Day 2) January 2 – New Year’s Gift for Chinese Brides
I long to see My Chinese brides restored, healed, renewed, and revived in My glorious presence! Thank you for coming to My feet on the eve of the Chinese New Year, instead of being busy preparing for the New Year, shopping, reunions, and entertaining guests, not for ministry needs, not for intercession, not for any other purpose, but simply to come closer to Me, to know Me more deeply, to love Me, and to touch My heart. These 21 days of worship were the greatest gift I received from the Chinese bride for the New Year. My presence will also be the greatest gift you will receive in the Chinese New Year 2023!

Pray for America: Enter the “Gate of Promise”
Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from Dutch Sheets’s “Give Him 15 Minutes” post from January 3rd to 6th. These posts ( [Part 1] [ Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] ) respond to Greg Hood’s enlightening, thought-provoking Hopeful dream . (If you haven’t read this dream, you can read it here: ” Dragon, Disaster and Promise ” )
【Background: In Deuteronomy, God gave the Israelites the choice of life or death, blessing or curse ( Deuteronomy 30:19 ). He urged them to choose life for themselves and for their children. Our decisions have far-reaching consequences. What we Americans do today will determine the future of our children and grandchildren. The dream that Greg Hood received on December 2, 2022, is depicting a possible future for America. The dream also makes it clear that the praying church has the right to decide which situation ultimately prevails. ...Detailed Reading】
- Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to testify against you today, I have set before you life and death, good and bad, so choose life so that you and your descendants may live.
- Ephesians 6:12 For our war is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, and against spiritual demons in the heavenly places.
- Zechariah 4:6 Says the LORD of hosts: Not by might, nor by ability, but by my Spirit.
- Isaiah 22:22 I will put on his shoulder the key of David’s house; when he opens it no one can shut it, and when he shuts it no one can open it.
【prayer】
Declare in the name of Jesus Christ:
- Satan can no longer devour and destroy America.
- God has heard the prayers of millions of believers for the confession and repentance of America’s sins and is healing the land of America.
- Government and business people can no longer sell America to China through sin, compromise, and unholy alliances.
- Evil will be exposed, funds will dry up, satanic influence will cease, and we close the door to satanic control of America.
- Evil – violence, lust for power, tyranny, murder, church persecution, insane laws and decrees, will no longer rule America.
- We close the door to evil spirit forces that cause destruction.
- We close doors that destroy our children, our families, our homes, our cities and our countries.
- We command the opening of the ” Promised Doors “, the ” Doors of National Awakening and Transformation” .
- The wind of God will blow on the dry bones of America and the world, reconnecting the scattered bones.
- The wind of the Holy Spirit will infuse the power of life all over the earth and raise up the great army of the kingdom of God.
- Revival, renewal, remodeling and reformation are coming to America and the nations.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
In the name of Christ Jesus, amen!
Pray for America: Bless America
Editor’s Note: This article is an excerpt from a prayer written by Jacquie Tyre in Dutch Sheets’ December 29 “Give Him 15 Minutes.” From December 2nd, in his daily posts, Daqu led everyone to join the Holy Communion. This is according to the battle strategy given by God through the dream in 2022, if you want to read/review Dutch Sheet’s commentary, please click here. Communion is more than remembrance and honor; it is victory declaration, release and celebration!
“Father, in the name of Jesus, we take our place of intercession over the United States of America. We plead the blood of Jesus over this land, humbly repenting and beseeching You to shower blessings over us, by Your mercy and kindness.
As Your Ekklesia, using the keys of the Kingdom (Matthew 16:19), we unlock the gates of life, loosing blessings that flow from Your throne. And, we lock the gates of death, binding up curses that have been unleashed across this land by our many sins, and by the evil actions of nefarious leaders who dare to mock You and Your covenant purposes. We are eternally grateful for Your Word that declares, “mercy triumphs over judgment“ (James 2:13).
We choose this day to align with Your heart of love for America and to release words of blessings over her in Jesus’ mighty name:
- We bless our nation to fulfill Your original intent for her, walk in Your ways, turn away from evil and run toward righteousness, justice, and truth.
- In Jesus’ name, we decree over America, you are blessed to step into your identity as a nation set apart for God’s purposes; you’re blessed to display the glory of God and advance the Gospel of the Kingdom to the nations of the world.
- America, You are blessed to burn with the zeal and passion of God our righteous Father.
- You are blessed to step into the most incredible move of Holy Spirit awakening and reformation the world has ever seen.
- America, you are blessed to be a distributor of God’s grace and glory!
- We decree over the United States of America that God is for you and not against you; He loves you, and His face shines upon you, releasing great grace over you to be and do according to His divine purposes.
- We bless you, United States of America, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.”
Father, we seal these decrees with the covenant body and blood of Christ. They forever insure our victory. (Eat the bread)
With the power of the blood of Jesus, we declare Baal’s hold over America is broken. (Drink the cup)
In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.

Editorial Special Section: “The Year of 2023″: The Year of Bountiful Blessings and Turmoil
Message: Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders Original Source : Generals International Date: December 28, 2022
As we enter into the year 2023, it is important to see the full spectrum of what the Holy Spirit is doing, both locally, and internationally. This year’s theme, Bountiful Blessings and Turmoil, may seem to be contradictory! How can we have both bountiful blessings and turmoil? The explanation is that we will see blessings in the midst of turmoil.
As the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, we have set our hearts to issue prophetic words, warnings, and admonitions, as well as calls for prayer. Prophetic intercession is an important part of our meetings as we both hear from the Lord and intercede.
When we were founded twenty-three years ago, we agreed to release words that we have consensus about. Individual members may have their own prophetic take upon what they are hearing. However, we have chosen, according to the Acts 13:1-3 model, to only write in this record words that the “Holy Spirit” has said which we all agree upon.
Looking back in our collective history, we see that the words we have issued have been remarkably accurate. One year it was that the European Union was going to fragment. This was before Brexit was announced and the United Kingdom left the EU. Another word was that a virus was coming upon the earth that would seemingly be incurable, and that, of course, was COVID-19.
One significant word that one of our elders gave us over ten years ago was that Satan would try to escalate regional conflicts into a premature world war. This was something that Satan would try and to stop the great harvest in the earth. This actually happened around the beginning of the 1900s with the Student-Led Volunteer Movement, in which 20,000 university students pledged their lives for world missions. However, World War I stopped this great move of God and numbers of young people died on the battlefields. From that time, we have been praying during regional conflicts, such as the Arab Spring, to quell a coming world war.
Here are significant words for this new season:
Goshen
The Lord has spoken to us that He is going to help each of us establish ourselves as a Goshen. Goshen was the land given to the children of Israel when Joseph was the Prime Minister, in effect, of Egypt. It was the choice land. This land provided for them during the lean years of famine. There are some lean years ahead, and God will reveal to us how to establish our Goshens for the days ahead. There was an admonition given not to let the enemy feed our fears, but to trust in God for our well-being. How this is to take place will vary. Some will plant gardens. Getting out of debt is important. Others will physically relocate to areas where a Goshen is already established. Still, others will stay and establish their Goshen in the midst of great darkness.
There will be cities of refuge that will be Goshens and experience supernatural prosperity. They are already in the process of forming now.
Psalm 23
Psalm 23 will be a very significant scripture passage for the days ahead. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He prepares a table for me in the presence of my enemies.
Around the table this coming season will be restored families. Prodigals will come back to the Lord. Family unity is going to be restored. Another important part of this will be the restoration of hospitality, where believers invite non-believers to dine with them in their homes.
Generosity is going to be poured out as we come to the table of the Lord. Sharing of goods and finances will bless many. This will also manifest through the taking of Communion around the table of the Lord.
Covenantal friends will sit around the table and dream God’s dreams, and then go out and manifest them together throughout the earth. They will form companies together and will literally be “companies of people”. People who have felt lonely and out of place will find lasting friendships. These friendships will provide “nets for harvest.” This will be the harvest of souls and the coming together of disconnected people around the table.
God is going to reveal Himself as the Good Shepherd to us, Who will lead us beside still waters and green pastures. The admonition is to stay very close to Him, and He will lead and guide us in troubled times.
A Time of Fruitfulness and Bounty
Businesses that have struggled will have their breakthrough. Bounty in the hands of God’s children will be a sign and wonder to many.
This bounty is not just for personal security and safety, but to eradicate poverty and misery in others.
Isaiah 60
This chapter is thematic as to what God is doing worldwide today, and especially inIsrael today. Gross darkness will encompass the earth, but the glory of God will shine out of the midst.
Provisions are coming for God’s people. We were given the analogy that the “camels are coming” with all we need for our financial harvest.(Is. 60:6). As the Body of Christ drinks deeply of the Word of God, revelation will flow to show the directions we need to take in our lives. A cursory knowledge of scripture, of the milk of the Word, will simply not be enough to release you into what God wants to show you.
World War III
World War III is going to take place in the future. The word of the Lord was that it can still be delayed. Prayer teams had already independently planned to go to Taiwan and Wales, to the school that Rees Howells founded to pray about war. They have also subsequently gone to Israel to pray against a world war started by Iran.
Again, over ten years ago, the Lord showed us an alliance of Russia/China/Iran would form as an axis power in a war. Already this has formed on many different levels, and we continue to pray against this alliance that would embroil the world in a horrible war.
(Note: While the teams were in Wales, a bomb fell in Poland that could have started WW3. This was a spillover from the war in Ukraine. However, after the team prayed at the school in Swansea, the news was, “War delayed!” Thank God for intercessors!)
During the future world war, the harvest will still take place, although many of the potential harvesters could fall on the battlefields. The Billion Soul Harvest will still happen, although a great cost will be paid as a result of the war.
The war will go nuclear although it will not affect the whole world with its destruction.
A word was also given about a fight around the North Pole and potentially from space itself. The world as we know it will experience great change.
The empire-building spirits want their territories back! Some unknowing rulers are being manipulated by these powers of darkness. Territory belongs to God, however, and we must pray that all false alignment of nations be broken apart.
Global Reset
While the world has declared a global reset, God Himself is resetting the world for the great end-time harvest. The Isaiah 19 Highway of Holiness is forming right before our eyes. This was hastened by the Abraham Accords. There is indeed a highway forming from Egypt, Assyria, and Israel! Many missionaries are going forth to this significant Middle East region. Prayer gatherings are taking place all across the region and revivals are breaking out.
In fact, many nations in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon and others, are experiencing a great harvest of souls in the midst of terrible persecution and unrest. Egypt will experience a great and powerful move of God as the governmental anointing of Joseph is released from its borders once again to shape nations. God is up to great things in the midst of turmoil!
Watch North Korea and its threat to South Korea and Japan. Massive prayer needs to take place for the whole region, including China, Taiwan, and Indonesia. The “Ring of Fire” nations will experience new turmoil as well.
There are warnings of new terror attacks in Europe and the US. The watchmen must get on the wall.
Many prophets have focused on Haggai 2:6-8 as God shakes nations and releases the wealth of nations.
The whole economic system of the world is in a reset. God is warning that Satan will take advantage of this reset to persecute the church economically. The spirit of antichrist has loosened on a level we have never seen as we are marching into the end-time hours.
We are in the midst of a global meltdown of nations. Jeremiah 1:10 states it well: it is a time of tearing down, and then there will be a time of building up.
Great exposure of corruption will take place across the earth during this global reset. Man thinks that He is resetting the nations, but God has an overarching plan that He is working out behind the scenes.
Divine Recovery
This is the season of “recover all”, as God divinely intervenes to restore lost finances, property, relationships, and other seemingly impossible situations.
Demonstrations of Power
We are on the eve of the greatest demonstration of God’s power in the earth! This is what has been called the “Saints Movement” where ordinary Christians do extraordinary things. This power demonstration will capture the news and make headlines. Persecutions will arise against these moves of God and the leaders. Don’t be surprised by this, but keep persevering in the middle of turmoil. Satan is going to try and bring divisions and separate close friends, but remain steady in the work of the Lord.
Seemingly small moves of God will grow big, like what happened in the Welsh revival under Evan Roberts. We will be surprised and delighted at the hot spots of revival here and there. There will be a renewed interest in the history of revival as a new generation cries out for God to “do it again!”.
Instantaneous healings will take place and will come like the lightning of God. People will be delivered from mental illnesses, addictions to drugs and pornography, and all manner of terminal illnesses.
The power of God will come in waves of glory. It will be like a tsunami wave of revival.
The Spirit of Offense
There is a spirit of offense that has been loosed in the earth. This is not a low-level type of spirit. It is very high-level. God is working in the hearts and minds of believers to be “unoffendable.” There are testings taking place to see whom God can trust to steward this coming great move of God. Even those who feel that they cannot be offended are going to be surprised at the level of offense they are capable of in the coming days.
Pride is a stumbling block. It is usually the root of offense. God admonished us that He is purging and testing the prophets first, as we are called to steward the fresh word, along with other ministries, into the earth. Don’t be caught in the snare of offense! If you are, quickly repent and do not let yourself be separated from those God is calling you to walk with in a close way.
We received a strong admonition not to get caught up in a war of words. Even though we are right, we should not get in a protective defensive mode where we try to justify ourselves. We have one justifier, and it isn’t any of us!
The Leviathan Spirit
The Leviathan Spirit will work with the Spirit of Offense. It causes your words to be twisted and used out of context. When it works against individuals, you will manifest it by becoming defensive and even belligerent. Don’t fall into its snare!
The Cluster Anointing
God is raising up teams who will work together on a covenantal level, such as the Clapham Group with Wilberforce in England. There are reformers who will work together to bring about the marriage of righteousness and justice. (Ps. 89:14)
These teams will have the “cluster anointing” such as given in Isaiah 65:8 which says that “new wine is found in the cluster”. Reformation teams will see the needs of nations on many levels which will lead to their transformation.
The moral reformation is going to take place as even the Hollywood industry swings the pendulum to more family-friendly entertainment.
Part of the “cluster anointing” will see the partnering of the Apostle/Prophet/Evangelists. There will be a deep relational partnering and love for each other that will greatly advance the Kingdom of God.
A beautiful partnering of worshiping prophets will arise that will lead in the new song with a new sound for the new day. Choirs will once again sing. This will help release the fulfillment of the Tabernacle of David being rebuilt in our day.
The east and west coasts of America will be shaken by the power of God and new teams will go out to both plow the ground for revival and steward it to keep the rivers of revival flowing.
The relationship of different gifts working together will give momentum to furthering the gospel, as well as great advances in releasing God’s will in the earth.
The Prophetic Movement
It was prophesied by Bishop Bill Hamon in the 1980s that God would raise up 10,000 prophets in the US and 100,000 around the world. We have certainly seen an escalation of this in recent days. There were very few recognized prophets even in the ‘90s, but now there is an abundance.
A cautionary word is important here, as we saw revivalists who were prophets veer off into deception in former days. God is requiring prophets to be aligned with local churches and other mature leaders in order to avoid this deception from getting into the prophetic movements.
Satan will bring a false prophetic movement that will “smear” the real prophets and try to take away from their integrity. We were given a warning to guard our hearts and not be on the attack, but to walk in love. Great discernment is needed to know who is a false prophet and who is simply prophesying in a manner that occasionally misses the mark.
Many prophets have been in seasons of distress. We are in a Jeremiah season where it will not be easy to be a prophet; but it will be glorious!
The Ekklesia
The understanding of the ekklesia is going to cause the local churches to shake off old wineskins and move into seeing the establishment of apostolic centers. Great spiritual authority will come into manifestation, and these centers will become discipleship centers to heal the nations. Revival and Reformation will be the theme of the day. The Body of Christ will move from the sidelines to the frontlines.
Ekklesia leaders from many countries will form multinational alliances and respect and esteem each other’s strengths. One prophet likened the weaknesses in nations as ‘soft spots” that we need to work together to cover. The ekklesia leaders in nations will celebrate one another and not be in competition.
The prophets, in particular, need to celebrate and cover one another as we manifest our different callings. For instance, we need to rejoice at what is happening with the prophetic evangelists and their role in revival and the harvest.
Some churches will be divided in the coming days. Churches will persecute other churches and the polarity will increase. Some churches have even made science what they bow down to rather than hearing what God is saying. There is a religious spirit that will raise its head and try to tear down the new moves of God. The next generation must be protected by the ekklesia leaders and not let them become jaded by infighting in the church itself. Beware of a marriage between the religious and political spirit.
God will give solutions to weighty problems through the ekklesia. In order for this to happen, leaders must have these Three Cs: Character, Competence, and Capacity. God spoke to us that great ethics and character cannot necessarily solve the problems of the earth. We need the power of God to solve the earth’s problems. God’s power through understanding these Three Cs will equip us to be reformation leaders.
Humility was deeply stressed for the coming days. The word that came to us was, “Bend low, for the sword of the Lord is coming.” Part of this humility must be to give the glory to God, and not look for credit for what we have prophesied. Do we require credit?
God warned us that there is a divine urgency in the coming days to be holy and prepared for what is to come. Not to be afraid, but to walk in holiness.
Part of the move of God among the ekklesia will be the importance of honoring Israel and an understanding of God’s timetable through the feasts.
The ekklesia will see the raising up of “Architectural Forerunners” who have a building gift and see the vision and help make it happen, while honoring those who have come before them.
Prayer Movements
We received another important admonition for the prayer movements of the earth to not grow weary and lose hope as if their prayers were not being heard. God is moving whole civilizations around and it is a process. Keep praying during God’s process, for though the answers seem to tarry, they will not be late! God’s timetable seems to be “wait” and “suddenly.” Your prayers are availing much.
The next generation is going to catch the fire of intercessory prayer. All night prayer meetings on college campuses will become normal. These “boiler room” prayer meetings are birthing rooms for campus revivals. Universities across the world will see great moves of God likened to the Jesus People movement in the United States.
New England, in the United States, is going to feel the rumbling of God’s power as the wells of revival are opened! Look to Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, as well as others to experience God’s power and presence. God is preparing His “firebrands” who will be instruments of stewarding these moves of God; just like Whitfield and Wesley.
Nations
Nations must be discipled and taught of the Lord. The 7 Mountain teaching is one structure that will help the ekklesia do just that. This movement is no longer in the “early adopter” phase, but now in the mid-adopter phase where many people in nations are understanding their role as believers in seeing that their nations are righteous.
New power sources will be released into Europe and the nations of the earth with technologies that will cause many to marvel.
Global Josephs and Daniels
In looking at the world’s powers, we see that the war over nations is also an economic one. For instance, Taiwan is the world’s largest chip manufacturer. Although the sand from Egypt is imported to build the chips, the nation that has the chip production is largely Taiwan. Therefore, it is a critical part of China’s desire to rule the world economically. It was noted that Arizona is becoming an important part of Taiwan’s production of the chip industry. Chips are used in computers, smart-phones, and other technology.
As mentioned earlier about the Josephs, God is anointing Daniels as well, who will work internationally with the cluster anointing to release funds into the Kingdom. Nations, such as Kenya in Africa, will be the recipient of the bounty being released through international entrepreneurs. Look to Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda, and other African nations to begin to move into transformation economically because of the leaders of these nations.
The Josephs and Daniels will be in the lead in East Africa as a great revival will break out in the region again.
The United States
There is already an awakening happening in the United States. Many fires are burning bright, including what is being called “face down glory,” in which people are falling on their faces and weeping before a holy God. Tears water the seeds of harvest. God spoke to us many times from prophets of various nations about powerful moves where the glory of God would be manifested.
The pressure on the Church will increase. Further persecution is coming, but there is a remnant arising with great power. There will be pockets of light even in the political sector and they will be given great power even in the midst of a wicked generation.
The US is going through a reset meant to shake even its very roots, but God has His righteous remnant through the ekklesia who are going to be able to release godly legislation at the state levels. It is now obvious, even as we have been prophesying for many years, that there will be sheep and goat states; or those who will be holy and following God, and those who will be more and more wicked. The economies of the righteous states will grow and grow, but some goat states will be practically bankrupt. However, God has a remnant even in those states and revivals will break out which, over time, have the ability to turn these states toward righteousness.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade gave some breathing room to the nation that stayed God’s hand of judgment. However, it also exposed what was in the hearts of many state governments.

Editorial Special Section: Chris Bennett: First Three Months of 2023
Message : Chris G. Bennett Date: December 24, 2022 Source : Chris G. Bennett Facebook
I asked the question today, “What’s The LORD saying or showing you about the first three months of 2023?”
As one or two comments started to drift in, The LORD asked me the same question, and without waiting for me to reply, He took me into a Vision.
I was in a dark place. It was very dark, but I knew in my spirit that I was walking in a long tunnel. My first thought was of a now defunct railway tunnel, if only because there appeared to be no rails running through the tunnel.
This set me at ease as my imagination showed me trains rushing through the tunnel, and me clinging to a wall in order to be relatively safe!
So I stopped wandering around, because I had no idea where I was headed in either direction. I was just there — wandering aimlessly in the dark!
I asked The LORD what He was showing me? Instead of answering me He pointed out a tiny pinpoint of light.
So small, it was barely discernible, but because it was the only light source in sight, it made its presence obvious.
Then, for some reason, I turned my head in the opposite direction. Another pinpoint of light! Another light source, a long way off, but again, clearly visible.
Then He spoke. “Either direction will get you out, but one direction is My Direction, while the other is not!”
“Oh great, so how do I know which to go to?”, I asked.
“Listen for My Directions!” came the response, “Follow Me, and I will get you to safety. Get it wrong, and it won’t be so easy!”
I stopped and listened — nothing obvious, but in my ‘knower’, I felt it right to head one way. I felt at peace!
“You choose correctly, you hear Me well!” came His small still Voice.
I came back to my armchair at that moment and began to interpret what I’d seen. It was an odd Vision, full of unknowns and questions, yet I felt strangely at peace with it all.
It came to me spiritually that it really didn’t matter where the tunnel was, or even that it was a tunnel. The important thing was that I was groping about in the dark.
It didn’t matter which way I went, as there was light at both ends of the tunnel. The important thing was for me to take my direction from The LORD rather than blundering into the unknown, blindly accepting the first light I saw as the solution to my dilemma!
These next few months have been prophesied as the darkest yet and this Vision appears to confirm that, while at the same time showing us that it’s all catered for in The LORD’s Plans for us.
Turn to Him and listen to Him but almost more importantly, do whatever He says, when He says it.
This coming year, is a year of obedience to God’s Voice!

Editorial Special Section: Waiting for the trumpet of Exodus to sound! Many!
Message : Voice of Yeshua Date: January 4, 2023 Source : Voice of Yeshua’s Torah
- Vayechi וַיְחִי lives in
- Genesis 47:28-50:26
- 1 Kings 2:1-12
- 1 Peter 1:1-9
This week’s Torah “Abiding” is the conclusion of the Torah Genesis, and at the same time opens the prelude to the great second part of the Torah Exodus – the name! Jacob was the first to come out of Egypt.
Although the person is not there, the promise will still live!
Jacob lived in Egypt for 17 years.
The Hebrew word for living is the same as the Hebrew word for Sarah’s “life”, and the Hebrew word for Sarah “lived” to be 127 years old, both are:
To dwell in חָיָה chayah: to dwell, to keep alive, to live a promised life, to restore life, to restore, to save. (H2421)
Perhaps in Jacob’s “few and bitter” years, the 17 years he lived with Joseph in Egypt were the 17 years Jacob lived the most. Joseph was 17 years old when he left Hebron Valley. Jacob lived with his favorite son for the first 17 years of Joseph’s life. In the last 17 years of Jacob’s life, he reunited with his son Joseph again and spent another satisfying 17 years.
Even before Jacob died, he never forgot God’s promise to him, and he wanted to pass on the promise, because the promise in the covenant was about the descendants of his descendants. What we see should not only be present, but our generations to come. As God sees it, so should we see it. Man is gone, but the promise of God is alive and will live on. People who live in God’s promise, whether they are alive or dead, they will live alive before God forever.
What happened to Jacob before his death, by faith!
Before Jacob died, he did two things according to the promise in God’s covenant:
- Make Joseph swear not to bury him in Egypt. When Jacob died, he was to be brought out of Egypt and buried in the cave of Machpelah in Hebron in the land of Canaan.
- Jacob adopted Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, as his sons, and they were directly assigned to the names of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Ephraim and Manasseh, and made them partakers of Jacob’s inheritance. Jacob put Ephraim over Manasseh.
Let’s look at the first thing about Jacob . Jacob was not to be buried in Egypt. Jacob remembered God’s promise when he appeared to him at Luz in the land of Canaan:
I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; I will give you and your descendants. ( Genesis 28:13)
Jacob didn’t give up because he was going to die, because he couldn’t see God’s promise fulfilled.Because of faith, even if he died, his bones would return to the promised land, and he would be buried in the land promised by God, which was the inheritance God gave to Jacob. Jacob will be resurrected there and live forever. Jacob was the first to leave Egypt and return to the Promised Land.
Jacob said to Joseph: Almighty God appeared to me in Luz in the land of Canaan, blessed me, and said to me: I will make you fruitful and multiply, and I will make you a multitude, and I will give you this land descendants of him will be an inheritance forever. (Genesis 48:3-40)
Then the second thing Jacob did before he died was that Jacob foresaw that Joseph would be a fruitful branch, a fruitful branch by the spring, and this was fulfilled in Joseph’s two sons. Before Jacob’s death, Jacob’s blessing to Joseph was equivalent to the blessing to Ephraim and Manasseh, the two young boys adopted by Jacob, and blessed them in the world, especially the descendants of Ephraim would become multi-ethnic.
Because of Jacob’s faith, when he was dying, he blessed each of Joseph’s two sons and worshiped God leaning on the top of his staff. (Hebrews 11:21)
Jacob redeemed Ephraim and Manasseh and put them under the names of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Otherwise, these two boys would be put under the name of Pharaoh of Egypt, and the descendants of Joseph would face destruction. Through faith, Jacob redeemed the descendants of Joseph, who were also the descendants of Israel, and grafted them into the tree of life of the house of Israel. This is Lord Yeshua’s grafted salvation! Gentile believers are no longer Gentiles, and they are joint heirs, one body, and share the promise with the Israelites in Yeshua.
Joseph’s firstborn son doubled his inheritance. The wealth of Egypt and the inheritance of God the Father!
Only the firstborn will receive a double share of inheritance and blessings. Before Jacob died, he gave Joseph the birthright, and Joseph inherited a piece of land.
And I will give you all the land that I took from the Amorites with bow and sword, so that you will have one more share than all your brothers. (Genesis 48:22)
” The land “ in the original Hebrew is directly written: שְׁכֶם Shekem Shechem .
When Jacob returned from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan. He pitched his tent on the east side of the city, and bought the tent from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred pieces of silver. The field of the shed. (Genesis 33:18-19)
Was the land in Shechem purchased by Jacob or taken by the sword? From these two verses of the Torah, it can be seen that the land of Shechem cannot be bought with a hundred pieces of silver, and the problem cannot be solved with money. It is really a battle. But God is still behind it.
You drove out the Gentiles with your hand, but cultivated our ancestors; You afflicted the nations, but made our ancestors prosper. For they did not gain the land by their sword, nor by their own arm, but by Thy right hand, Thy arm, and the light of Thy countenance, for Thou delightest in them. (Psalm 44:2-3)
Joseph may have been wealthy in Egypt, but what Joseph longed for was still his father’s inheritance in Jehovah. What about us? Which is more attractive to us, the wealth of Egypt in the world or the inheritance of God the Father?
A person cannot serve two masters. Either he hates the one and loves the other, or he values the one and despises the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. (Matthew 6:24)
Tell you what will happen in the future!
Jacob called his sons and said, Gather all of you , that I may tell you what will happen to you in the future. (Genesis 49:1)
After Jacob had blessed the two sons of Joseph, he gathered his remaining sons together and told them what was to come for them. Jacob prophesied for his sons. Before his death, Jacob declared the God of Israel’s will for the 12 tribes of Israel.
Although Jacob, the last of the three patriarchs, is about to leave, the promises in the covenant will continue to be fulfilled, and the future of the 12 patriarchs is still in the hands of Jehovah God. Jacob’s sons all gathered to listen to the most important prophecy and instruction of his father Jacob before he left.
After this, I looked, and saw a door open in heaven. For the first time I heard a sound like a trumpet, saying to me: Come up here, and I will show you what must happen hereafter. (Revelation 4:1)
Today, in this debauchery, noisy and chaotic, absurd and indifferent last days, how many people are willing to leave everything behind with their first love, go up to Him, listen to the Lord, and choose to closely follow the voice and footsteps of the Lord ?
In Japan, a country that believes in everything except Lord Yeshua, on the first day of the new year in the Western calendar, they will flock to major shrines and temples overnight, queue up and spend a lot of time and money to pray for blessings and draw lots , seek spiritual comfort for the coming year, even if it is self-deception.
What about the people of God? At another moment when the seasons change, do we also flock to God with a heart of faith rather than a spirit of divination, seeking to show us what God will tell us about what will happen in the future? Or is it the same as the world, eating, drinking and having fun, as if there is no tomorrow?
As Paul said,
If the dead do not rise, let us eat and drink! Because tomorrow is going to die. (1 Corinthians 15:32)
Receive blessings according to individual “portions”
Jacob’s prophecies to his sons were delivered in the form of blessings, but not all seem to be blessings,
They all bless them according to their blessings. (Genesis 49:28)
The original text of this sentence is: Jacob blessed each of his sons according to the blessing that was suitable for them. God has allocated a “land” to each person, and each person uses his own character and behavior to “plow” in God’s land, and either reaps corresponding evil results, or receives multiplied blessings.
The “blessings” of Reuben, Simeon, and Levi are very different from Joseph’s. Reuben was deprived of his birthright, and Simeon and Levi had no inheritance. They lived separately in Jacob’s house and scattered in the land of Israel. But the branches of Joseph protrude out of the wall, Joseph’s territory will be expanded, and his children will be multiplied. The descendants of Joseph became stronger the more they were persecuted.
But the descendants of Levi chose to unite with Jehovah God at the foot of Mount Sinai in the future , instead of the ” golden calf”! At that moment, Levi’s fate was decisively reversed. God is fair and merciful. As long as we bravely seize the opportunity God gives, make the right decision, and unite with the Lord alone, we will become God’s precious vessels for consecration, even though Levi really has no inheritance, but Who knew that Jehovah would say, “I am Levi’s inheritance”! It’s too good to be true! Follow God wholeheartedly, be separated and unite with the Lord, our benefits are not apart from Him! !
In the prophecy and blessing of the sons, the descendants of Judah will give birth to the king Messiah , bringing infinite hope and strength to Israel. Judah is destined to rejoice and praise the coming of Yeshua, the Prince of Peace!
Rejoice greatly, you people of Zion; rejoice, you people of Jerusalem. Behold, your King has come to you! He is just and saves, meekly riding on an ass, the colt upon which the ass rides. (Zechariah 9:9)
The next prophecy concerning the tribe of Issachar has to do with donkeys.
Issachar was a strong donkey lying down among the sheepfolds. He regards quietness as the best, and the fertile land as the beauty, so he lowers his shoulders and carries his burden, and becomes a servant of hardship. (Genesis 49:14-15)
Issachar, there is joy in your tent. (Deuteronomy 33:18)
Issachar’s bones גֶּרֶם gerem are very strong and full of strength, but Issachar did not rely on his own strength to go out to fight, but was lying like a donkey under a heavy burden. What is this “burden”?
Issachar valued the beauty of the land given to him by God. How many people cherish and honor the land given to them by God? Issachar lived peacefully and happily in the tent God gave him, and he was willing to humbly bow down under the commission God gave him. God’s entrustment is heavy, and it is by no means a burden of troubles, but a burden of joy, and it is only given to those who are worthy. God’s commission to Issachar was to study the mysteries of the Torah in the tent and become a slave to them.
The tribe of Issachar is full of wisdom in the Torah, full of prophetic vision in the Torah. Therefore, the tribe of Issachar knew the time and the seasons, knew the current affairs, knew when to do things, and his brothers all listened to them.
Almost every tribe has its own characteristics, and the blessings given to them by God are also different. What are the attributes God has given us? Where is the “portion” God has given us? do we know We not only need to know, but also have to “suffer hardships” for it, and pay the effort and price, then we can bear multiplied fruits, we can live in a fertile land, and we can know what God is going to do.
What God is looking for is someone who can be entrusted. What kind of person can be entrusted by God? It is a person with “low shoulders and heavy back”. They have foresight, and they know the weight and value entrusted by God, so they are willing to be servants who are willing to suffer, not mechanical slaves. They are servants of God who serve God with a kingly heart, dignified and humble.
last tears
After the death of their father Jacob, Joseph’s brothers became afraid of Joseph!
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “Maybe Joseph has a grudge against us and will take revenge on us for all the evil we have done to him.” So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Before he died, your father commanded: Say this to Joseph: Please forgive the transgression and sin of your brothers who treated you badly. Forgive now the transgressions of the servant of your Father God. When they said this to Joseph, Joseph wept . (Genesis 50:15-17)
This is the seventh time that Joseph cried in the Torah record, and it was also Joseph’s “last tear”. The brothers thought that Joseph would use his authority and power to retaliate against them because his father Jacob was gone. What Joseph said when he met his brothers, ” Now, don’t worry and hate yourself for selling me here. This is God who sent me before you to preserve life .” The brothers couldn’t believe it, and they didn’t receive the “forgiveness” from God and from Joseph.
The brothers said they were servants of Joseph’s father God, they were Joseph’s servants. Joseph’s boyhood dream was fulfilled in this way. Although Joseph’s brothers confessed their sin, they were still afraid of Joseph’s revenge. Perhaps what Joseph expected was to be truly accepted by his brothers. Before Joseph was rejected by his brothers because of jealousy, now it is because of fear. A seemingly unbridgeable gulf has always been between them. Joseph’s last tears were full of flavors that only God knows.
His brothers came again and fell down before him, saying, We are your servants. Joseph said to them: Do not be afraid, for how can I take the place of God? In the past, you meant to harm me, but God originally meant it for good. He wanted to preserve the lives of many people and achieve today’s situation. Now do not be afraid, I will feed you and your wives and children. So Joseph comforted them with kind words. (Genesis 50:18-21)
Joseph said to his brothers twice: Don’t be afraid, Joseph comforted them with dear words, “I will feed you…” After reading this, I also feel a little sad in my heart. There is no fear in love. If any relationship is not established in love, but because of fear, how can we move forward?
God meant it for good
Joseph forgave because God intended it for good. If your close family members, business partners, brothers and sisters in the ministry, people in the church who say they are your “family” mean that they want to harm you, whether it is intentional or unintentional harm or betrayal, Or…can we forgive like Joseph because we believe God meant it for good?!
So I want to encourage myself and you. We must overcome this hurdle. We cannot control others, but we can choose to be free in the Lord, let go of these entanglements and injuries, and continue to move forward. In our blessings and responsibilities. We should only bear the yoke from the Lord and not bear the burdens from men. Desiring rewards from Him alone, not human approval and rewards. Because everyone has to give an account to the Lord.
God has an ultimate goodness for us, so good that nothing compares to it. Joseph cried at least 7 times, and the Lord also cried on earth, but after the last tears flowed, let us continue to move forward with fiery strength and fulfill the will of God the Father on earth, because He is worthy ! ! ! Look forward to rewards from above, He is absolutely faithful! ! !
Letter from Joseph! Waiting for the horn of Exodus to sound!
Joseph believed that Israel would come out of Egypt in the future, and Joseph believed that he would eventually be resurrected. Although his coffin will temporarily stop in Egypt, he will also wait for his exit from Egypt after death.
By faith, when Joseph was dying, he mentioned that the Israelites would leave Egypt in the future, and he left a will for his own bones. (Hebrews 11:22)
We are all like Joseph, the dead stopped in Egypt, waiting for the sound of God’s trumpet to lead us out of Egypt! Then the dead will be raised! This world is not a place for us to stay for a long time. The lust, hatred and harm in this world, as well as the schemes and deeds of man, must pass away! When the Lord returns for the second time, when His trumpet sounds, when His millennium comes, when His new heaven and new earth come, we will eventually overcome the ties of Egypt with a new body and a life of overcomers Everything about us stands before Him! We need to focus! Give ear to him!
At that moment, we have to retreat from this world, not to let the entanglement become our snare day after day, but to go into battle lightly every day, soaring like eagles! Let us jump out of the earthly model and the carnal way now, be renewed in Him every day, and train ourselves in the Lord every day to become overcomers, so that we are worthy to reign with the Lord on earth for a thousand years! Let the second death have no power over us!
Shekem Shechem V’nitchazek! Be strong, be strong, we will be strong!

Message : Tim Sheets Date: January 2, 2023 Source : “Give Him 15”
We are in amazing supernatural times in which new plans from the Godhead have begun to manifest. In many ways last year set the table prophetically for our future. Prophetic words from the past received fresh emphasis and have begun to activate. I recently heard Holy Spirit say, ‘It is time for God-happenings, thousands of Kingdom events will occur.’
We are moving into a season of great God-planned events, aided by angelic assistance. The King’s Ekklesia has begun functioning at higher levels of our Kingdom’s authority, and the Kingdom of Christ is expanding in its influence.
I have been pondering, praying and asking for revelation regarding 2023. Holy Spirit reminded me of past prophecies and promises given to the heirs of God, His sons and daughters. I believe we are moving into a time when great victories will be seen in the individual lives of Kingdom heirs. Great breakthroughs will activate in the lives of God’s family members who declare ownership of His promises. Greater inheritance benefits will be received by those heirs.
A Kingdom shift in the spiritual atmosphere will make it easier to receive inheritance blessings from the Father. We are moving into a time of blessing, refreshing, and strengthening for the children of God. He wants us strong and courageous, well able to live our lives in joy and gladness as functioning citizens of His Kingdom – occupying and carrying out God’s family business until Christ returns.
As I was praying into this, I received a prophetic download from Holy Spirit. He said, ‘The heirs will begin to breathe fresh air. For fresh resurrection breath, even now, is being breathed by the Father on the sons and daughters. Emotions will resurrect. Feelings will resurrect. Minds will resurrect. Physical bodies bound by spirits of infirmity, disease and all manner of sicknesses will resurrect. Those living skeletal lives of existence will resurrect. Those plagued by demonic fatigue will resurrect. Broken hearts will resurrect. Fresh air is being breathed upon the heirs. They shall breathe fresh air.’
‘As in the Exodus of old, says the Lord, the children of God in this hour, moving into the new days, will not be decrepit. They will not be feeble or worn out ‘has-beens.’ Even old age will not define them – it didn’t define Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Joshua, or Caleb. And it will not define My heirs! I have deliverers rising in all age groups, young and old, male and female.
‘My children are coming out of bondage. There will not be lack in their homes. There will not be hopelessness in their dwellings. There will not be the oppressive grip of present-day pharaohs on them or their children. There will not be the sweat of fear upon their brow. They will not march to the menacing drums of cultural evils or the feral voices of evil politicians.
‘They will live in resurrection life, resurrection power. They will breathe the breath of life, the fresh air of heaven. They will experience anointings and angelic assistance to live as My family ought to live, says the Lord, a family serving joyfully and triumphantly in the dynasty of their Father. Heirs serving as joint-heirs with Christ. Yes, fresh air is blowing from the mountain of God, the fresh air of Heaven into His sons and daughters. The life of the Father will surely be in them and will surely be seen through them.’
There is purpose behind all the prophetic words we have been given. Prophetic words are given to prepare us for assignments, assignments that lead us to supernatural victories. God’s words are given in order that we may use them as prayer strategies and faith declarations. The remnant is now going to begin to live out these prophetic words. They are no longer futuristic; they’re for this moment.
A supernatural shift has occurred to prepare us for 2023, a supernatural year in which God’s plans will manifest in our lives individually, corporately, and nationally. We will also now begin the implementation of spiritual warfare plans that will continue into the future, year after year gaining in strength and power.
God’s heirs are being strengthened for this supernatural mission. In 1 Timothy 1:18 (Voice Translation), Paul said ‘Timothy, my dear son, I am placing before you a charge for the mission ahead. It is in total agreement with the prophecies once spoken.’
There is a mission before us that aligns with prophetic words Holy Spirit has given. He is issuing a charge to His heirs to rise and merge with the armies of the Lord, accomplishing this mission. It is a demon-defeating, stronghold-demolishing, uprooting mission against Baal and his indoctrination of evil. And the mission will be triumphant! The One who sees the end from the beginning has pre-decreed our victory.
The moment has come for the sons and daughters of God to receive times of refreshing and be filled with power from on high. Be encouraged and strengthened. We are in an era of supernatural movements on the earth. Great, bold, fearless warriors are rising, anointed by the Holy Spirit. The world will begin to see the curtains being pulled back, revealing a glorious church without spot or wrinkle, just as God’s Word says.
Hear this final word of the Lord: ‘New levels of Authority will now be seen in My Kingdom. The weak will say, “I am strong,” the lost will say, “I am found.” Captives will say, “I am free.” The sick will say, “I am healed.” Prodigals will say, “I’m going home.” Hopeless sons and daughters will declare, “I am filled with hope and am alive again,” says the Lord. The addict will say, “My chains are gone.” The blind will say, “I can see.” The deaf will say, “I can hear”. The cripples will say, “I can run,” says the Lord. Let the God-planned waves of revival build. These movements now begin.’
Receive what God is saying for this coming year. He is infusing supernatural strength to His heirs and outpourings of the Holy Spirit will liberate dreams, destinies, callings and purpose in our individual lives. Breathe in the fresh air and let Him give you resurrection life.

(Day 2) January 2 – New Year’s Gift for Chinese Brides

Pray for America: Enter the “Gate of Promise”
Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from Dutch Sheets’s “Give Him 15 Minutes” post from January 3rd to 6th. These posts ( [Part 1] [ Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] ) respond to Greg Hood’s enlightening, thought-provoking Hopeful dream . (If you haven’t read this dream, you can read it here: ” Dragon, Disaster and Promise ” )
【Background: In Deuteronomy, God gave the Israelites the choice of life or death, blessing or curse ( Deuteronomy 30:19 ). He urged them to choose life for themselves and for their children. Our decisions have far-reaching consequences. What we Americans do today will determine the future of our children and grandchildren. The dream that Greg Hood received on December 2, 2022, is depicting a possible future for America. The dream also makes it clear that the praying church has the right to decide which situation ultimately prevails.
There are three doors in the dream, leading to three rooms, in which three scenes are presented, representing the challenges facing the United States and the future situation. Evil and destruction behind the first and second doors includes destruction, darkness, war, violence and great oppression. However, there are wonderful blessings behind the third door, including goals of national awakening, revival and restoration. The Holy Spirit instructs us that we can and must close the doors of the first 2 rooms and open the door of the third room, the ” Door of Promise ” .
In the dream, the angel gave us instructions on how to close and open the doors of each room. He told us three times, ” You shall not close or open the door with your hand .” The Holy Spirit reminds us that human power and ability will not be able to close the gates of evil in our land. This is because the root and force behind evil is spiritual, not carnal. We are at war with the principalities and powers of darkness ( Ephesians 6:12 ), even though their intentions are being manifested through man. Zechariah said when talking about removing spiritual hills: ” Not by might, nor by might, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6).
The angel tells us that the door can only be opened and closed by the decrees of the apostle Ekklesia . These decrees must be issued by the apostles and ruling authorities of Christ. Speaking is the primary means of releasing spiritual power and authority. Christ created all that exists in His Word (see John 1 ). He speaks to the storm, not because the storm can hear, but because He releases His authority ( Matthew 8:23-27 ). He spoke to a fig tree and cursed it, not because the fig tree could hear, but because He exercised His authority through speaking and language ( Matthew 21:18-22 ). Christ speaks to nature, demons, the dead, and human body parts. Before he became human, he spoke to heaven and earth at creation, and his authority released his power through words. In the same way we exercise our Christ-appointed authority to release power.
Back in the late 90s , the Holy Spirit spoke to me in one clear word: ” When the praying church changes completely from priestly intercession to kingly intercession, [ the church ] will completely change the nation. ” Christ is both priestly and kingly Anointing, as High Priest, He represents us before God, He is our King, representing God’s authority on earth. As his body, he needs us to represent him, to do both: to make priestly requests and to issue kingly decrees.
The Church is the Ekklesia , the parliament of Christ, we are His voice on earth, and the authority entrusted to us is released from our mouths. At this moment, God needs us to stand up boldly and declare His will and Word to our nation so that America can be saved. Just as Elijah brought God’s promised rain (1 Kings 18 ) and Daniel’s prayers produced the promised restoration of Israel ( Dan. 9 ), so the Ekklesia, the celestial council, must produce the American restoration, and we have begun this process. process and must continue to do so.

Pray for Israel: Netanyahu is re-elected – unleashing the roar of the lion of Judah
【Background: The final election results announced on November 3 showed that the conservative Likud party led by Natayahu and his right-wing coalition won the majority of the 120 seats in the Knesset.
Here we review the revelatory words of the Prophet Veronica West on Benjamin-Netanyahu published on June 15, 2021:
The double anointing of Ezekiel and Jeremiah – a voice that will carry the roar of the lion of Judah!
… Today as I was praying for Israel, the Lord brought Benjamin Netanyahu to me, and I suddenly heard the Holy Spirit say to me:
Because many will say about Benjamin Netanyahu, God must have given it, but now God has taken it away.
But I say to you: look, listen! As I said to My prophet Ezekiel, and now I also say to My prophet Benjamin Netanyahu – go to the house of Israel, O Son of man, and speak to them My words.
You are not sent to a people who speak deep, hard words, but to the house of Israel;
It is not to go to the many countries that speak deep and incomprehensible words, whose words you do not understand. If I send you to them, they will obey you.
But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for the whole house of Israel is a hardened man.
Behold, I have made your face hard on theirs, and your forehead hard on theirs.
I made your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Although they are a rebellious family, don’t be afraid of them, and don’t be dismayed by their faces.
As I heard these words, the Spirit of the Lord showed me a robe that rested on Benjamin Netanyahu – the robe of Ezekiel – as a called and anointed one in the days to come Speak to the home of Israel, and even the globe and the World Economic Organization.
Then I saw that the hand of God made his (Benjamin Netanyahu) face to theirs and his forehead to theirs – like the hardest stone – making his forehead harder than flint hard.
Then I heard the Holy Spirit say:
Behold – I have made my Prophet Benjamin Netanyahu their thorn, the scorpion in their shoes, and even a watchdog, barking loudly and mercilessly making them restless.
Yes! He will be called the “big troublemaker” – “constant stimulus” – and a stumbling block to their destructive plans.
A voice that cannot and will not be suppressed. This sound will convey the roar of the lion of Judah.
This voice will speak of My forthcoming justice and judgment in the nations, and this voice will only grow louder in the days to come.
When I heard these words, the Lord brought the prophet Jeremiah before me, and I saw the second robe fell on Benjamin Netanyahu’s shoulders, and I heard these words: “Double anointing, Because the era of the Great Awakening has now come!”
Then I heard the Holy Spirit say:
Because my prophet Benjamin-Netanyahu will have a double anointing – the anointing of Ezekiel and Jeremiah will fall on him.
My word shall be like a sharp double-edged sword in his mouth, for I have anointed and appointed him to rule over nations and kingdoms, uprooting and tearing down, destroying and overthrowing, building and planting!

Pray for Israel: A New Wave of Aliyah
【Background: Pastor Tom Hess of the All Nations House of Prayer in Jerusalem issued a prayer invitation earlier. He said that prayer leaders all over the world are now feeling that God is saying that the fourth wave of Aliyah will come again. The fourth wave will mainly come from the West, Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Latin and South America.
Prayer: Israel returns before persecution
In his invitation letter, Pastor Tom shared the vision of a Jew returning to Jerusalem and standing on a bridge God built, which looked almost like a rainbow. They have little round Jewish caps called yamaka on their heads, but they have tongues of flame on them, so God is preparing something special this time around, and we believe there will be a huge Jewish return from the West. Pastor Tom thinks it is important to pray that they will come back before the political situation turns otherwise they will lose their money and their resources and escape from severe persecution but it is better to pray that now they will hear the word of the Lord soon , to return here, God will provide them with the land.
Plenty of Aliyah returns in 2022
According to the statistics of organizations such as Nefesh B’Nefesh and ICEJ (International Christian Embassy Jerusalem) , which help Jewish Aliyah return to Israel , 2022 will be the year when a large number of Aliyah will return to Israel. In 2022, 32,494 Russian citizens returned to Israel under the Israeli Law of Return. In addition, there are also a large number of returnees from Ukraine, North America, France, Ethiopia and other places. As of mid-November, some 61,000 Jewish returnees had arrived in Israel in 2022, more than 200 percent more than in 2021. Israel’s Minister of Return and Inclusion Tajano Shatta said returnees to Israel in the past 12 months had hit a 20-year high, with Jewish returnees from Russia and war-torn Ukraine accounting for almost four of the new Jewish returnees. three thirds.
The Return of the Messianic Believers
Israel’s “Return Law” was passed in 1970. According to the traditional definition of Judaism, “a Jew must have a Jewish mother or a person who has converted to Judaism” to become an Aliyah. But the Messianic Jews were often been refused to return because of their beliefs.
With the completion of the formation of Israel’s new cabinet, the new government will be composed of six political parties including the Likud Party, the religious political party Shas Party and the far-right religious Zionist Party. Although some people predict that due to the joining of extreme right-wing forces, the road to the return of the Jews will be more difficult, but in the Lord God, is there anything impossible?

Critical Event: China raises her voice and dances to worship and honor the Great King
【Background: In December 2022, China suddenly announced the lifting of the extreme lockdown, and serious epidemics broke out in a very short period of time in various places. The news media described it as a “tsunami-like infection wave”. Many families are facing a great shock, contracting the epidemic one after another, and experiencing physical and mental pain. After the extreme lockdown was lifted, the policy changed from the tightest to the loosest. The epidemic spread like a tsunami, and the people were at a loss as to what to do. The national medical system is on the verge of collapse, medical services are running out, and medicines are hard to find. Even if they are infected, medical staff must stick to their posts. Those with underlying diseases and the elderly have become severely ill and people are dying. According to media reports, Beijing crematoriums burn 100-200 corpses every day, far exceeding the normal 30-40 corpses. According to the forecast of the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation of the United States, China suddenly lifted the extreme lockdown, and it is estimated that there will be more than one million infection deaths in China in 2023. Western experts worry that it may once again threaten the world.
The light of healing enters China, the river of healing flows into China, and the leaves on the tree are for the healing of all peoples
A family member also experienced some difficulties. When he began to seek the Lord how to pray for the nation, people, family and friends, he experienced the miraculous revelation and leading of the Holy Spirit. The following is his sharing in recording:
When I cried out to the Lord for mercy, forgiveness and healing for the current situation in China, the Lord moved me to sing the following song, and moved me to dance and praise Him!
The joy of the Lord is my strength, Thy salvation is my hope;
though the olive tree does not work, and the vines do not bear fruit, yet I rejoice in the God of my salvation.
I will praise, in season and out of season, I will praise, every day from sunrise to sunset;
my heart is fixed on You, praise every day, I will praise, dance and praise,
I will praise, free to praise, shout for joy You are the ever-victorious King.
We Chinese, especially the brothers, are relatively well-behaved and not very good at releasing body worship, but the Lord revealed to me that the Chinese people in the past were good at singing and dancing. He wants us to come alive from our stiffness and rise up to sing and dance, because He has put the heavenly music in our bones. May we, like David, use our voices and bodies to praise and worship God with all our strength. The new Coronavirus seems to choke our mouths and seal our bodies, but when the Lord Jesus came, the Holy Spirit came to release us to have life, to be healed, and to be free.
I saw the light on the throne in Revelation, to be our eternal light. No more nights, no more crying, no more sickness. He is the light of life!
People of God, lift up your heads. Looking to the everlasting light of the throne is the hope of eternity. People of God, rise up and speak up! God has engraved the heavenly melody into your blood and bone marrow. This season God will open up all the hidden heavenly music scores and rise up to sing and dance. The enemy is afraid of our voice, the enemy is afraid of your singing and dancing.
I will not only anoint your mouths, but I will also anoint your hearts, so that the bitter waters in your hearts will cease and sweet springs will flow forth. I want to restore the body of the Chinese. The body that has been bound for more than two thousand years will be stretched out, and I will become a worshiping group before the throne. Dance with the music I have given you, this is the season for you to sing and dance.

Pray for Native Americans: Arise and Resound!
【Current Affairs: In these times, I believe the Lord is INCREASING and RELEASING His voice, with great authority, through His “first fruits” people groups of the land. He is raising up His sold out, set apart, Indigenous burning ones, and releasing HIS VOICE to set nations ablaze for Jesus.
Recently, the Lord took me up into an encounter, and I was looking down on my nation of Australia. By the Spirit of God, I knew that this encounter was for Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and other Indigenous people to the lands.
His Glory Released Through the First Nations Indigenous People
I could see glory mist rising up from the land across the nation. As my spiritual eyes zoomed in closer to the land, in the midst of the glory, I could see people dancing, and I heard a glorious sound. It was the First Nations Indigenous people of the land, worshiping and dancing in their cultural way; the dust of the land spraying up as their feet hit the ground. The glory of the Lord was released into the land as they stomped in the dance. The glory spread and filled the land of the nation (see Habakkuk 2:14).
The First Nations people carry a glory that is unique to the land. This glory is about to be released into the nations, and I believe it is a powerful, ancient key to unlock the awakening of nations.
The Rhythm of an Ancient Love
The overwhelming sense which surrounded me was that these First Nation countrymen and women were dancing to the rhythm of an ‘ancient love’ that compelled them to arise and dance with song; an ancient love that wooed them and drew them back to their first love, Jesus.
“Break forth with dancing! Make music and sing God’s praises with the rhythm of the drums! For He enjoys His faithful lovers. He adorns the humble with His beauty, and He loves to give them victory.” (Psalm 149:3-4 TPT) (Photo via Piqsels)
“We love Him, because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19 KJV)
An Intergenerational Love Drawn from an Ancient Timeline
This ancient love seemed to rise from deep within the age-old layers of this land. It felt to me like an intergenerational love for our Creator was being drawn from an ancient timeline, up through the feet of the First Nations people, and released into the “now” timeline. It was being released through their dance, their song and their hands.
As we all join hands and hearts, the love of God will become known through our lives in the present day. We will be known by the fruit of this ancient love of God; the one who loved us before the foundations of the earth. This intergenerational, ancient love is reigniting within the people.
During this whole encounter, I was surrounded with a strong sense of surrender and being positioned right in the center of a place that beckons, “Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you” (see James 4:8).
Ancient Strongholds Broken
As the perfect love of God poured out through the land and the people, the sheer power of this pure love caused ancient strongholds to be broken off of the land and the people. The land itself was breaking free from shackles and being saturated and soaked in the love and the pure goodness of God.
Unearthing His Hidden Treasures
The love of God was washing away all reproach and revealing these priceless treasures.
“I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord.” (Psalm 40:1-3 AMPC)
I believe the Lord is unearthing His hidden treasures. These hidden treasures are the First Nations voices of the Land, which are being unearthed from the lower layers of the land, causing them to ARISE and RESOUND – NO LONGER BOUND! Once hidden, now they will be lifted up from the miry clay to decree and declare the Word of the Lord, and to display His splendor. (Photo via Pxfuel)
First Nations Awakened Sons Shift Into Destiny
What I was seeing was the First Nations awakened sons and daughters shifting into destiny, arising from the land with a dance of deliverance, a strong song and a new voice.
“O God, my saving God, deliver me fully from every sin, even the sin that brought bloodguilt. Then my heart will once again be thrilled to sing the passionate songs of joy and deliverance!” (Psalm 51:14 TPT)
