Praying for Israel: Prayer Guide Against Anti-Semitism 

The atrocities committed by Hamas and various terrorist allies against the nation of Israel on Oct. 7 seem to be a plumb line or water shed event on the earth, with nations dividing for or against the nation of Israel (see Joel 3:1–2). Former allies have become enemies in the public square. Since that day, the number of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel/antisemitic events worldwide has increased dramatically. The spirit of Antichrist manifesting as the spirit of Amalek (see Exodus 17:8–16) is coming unmasked.

Peace, family! Thank God! Let us cross together again from 8 am to 9 am on Saturday morning and watch for the nations together.

At the beginning of 2024, do you feel that God is leading you wonderfully? When we talk about “awe”, have you experienced the joy brought by “awe”? I really want to say that at the beginning of 2024, I invite every family member to think about whether there is any emotion in you facing 2024? What are your expectations for 2024?

When we gather together from 8 to 9 o’clock every Saturday morning, I am actually very excited. We can often join God’s plan, and this journey allows me to get deeper with each family member. Experience God’s wonderful presence. Families, your prayers matter! When we pray for the nations, we can see God leading us forward. When we see some needs arise, we can also see in our prayers that God begins to do wonderful work in such vibrations.

I want to encourage every family member that you and I need to start spending some time not just praying for ourselves. God does not want us to just mind our own things, but to return to Him often. In 2024, you must have hope. When walking on this road that no one has ever walked before, a very important thing is to have expectations. You must have hope. The reason why faith can be created is because we truly know that Jesus Christ is leading us from the front, so that we can have hope in God’s promises because of His continuous guidance. We stand in God’s promises. There is hope. So I want to encourage family members, no matter what difficulties you face now, you must remember one thing: God is always in control of our lives. Encourage you to return to God often.

Intercession is to cut off the enemy’s works

The past few days have been very busy every day, and things always happen one after another. There is one thing that touches me very much, just like the story of the prodigal son mentioned in Luke Chapter 15 , where the younger son returns to his father’s home and encounters the same situation. Have you ever experienced that when you meet someone who has slipped into ecstasy, you can pull him back through constant prayer? When I was praying for my brother, I saw him slipping out of God’s will in his marriage, but I felt how unfailing God’s love for him was. I also felt that in the past few months He had a lot of suffering within him, but God could wake him up. The reason why a person can wake up depends entirely on the work of the Holy Spirit.

Family members, what does “intercession” mean? It means that we can truly cut off and destroy all the actions of Satan and the devil on the person we are praying for. What is important is that we declare and reestablish God’s identity in this person’s life during our intercession. In our lives, I encourage you to start chewing and thinking about some things; praying for a person so that he can go home is actually very hard, and sometimes even requires paying a huge price; but think back What has Jesus done for us? How do we experience His salvation? This will enable us to begin to have freedom and ease when giving, and to naturally forgive and fear God, because we will also be able to easily develop a character of obedience and humility in our lives. In fact, the happiness of becoming a child of God is that you know who you are, and you must know everything God has done in the journey of life.

When people deviate from the track of God’s will, they may have many problems due to shame. Many of them come from some of the fallacies they have thought in themselves, and even continue to ferment. Therefore, they often come and go in life. great struggle. In our lives, God actually does not promise that the sky will always be blue. When we meet or see someone around us slipping out of God’s will, we really shouldn’t use the righteousness within us to judge arbitrarily. Human righteousness cannot achieve the kingdom of God. In the story of the prodigal son in the Bible, when the father saw his young son returning home, he did not blame or criticize him, but fully accepted him. In Luke Chapter 15, there is a core of the gospel, which is how to make orphans. Become a true son. You and I actually often have a lot of orphan mentality.

I would also like to invite every family member to think about it, especially when you are called by God to be a watchman. When we pray together every Saturday, how can you make your prayers pure and ascend to God? It is very important that you always shake off the dust from yourself. Only when you start to shake off can you experience the wonderful deeds of God. Only in this way can you begin to be reminded and self-reflective in your life, and you will not fall into danger alone.

In the process of becoming a pastor and serving people, I truly know that the most difficult thing to heal is to enter into self-righteousness within a person , which means that he already has his own thoughts and ideas within him. Still nothing has changed, it’s all the same. I would like to invite family members to pay special attention and do not let your life grow out of a religious framework, nor let your life begin a journey where you cannot be illuminated by God.

What a wonderful thing it is to be illuminated by God

You will find that a person who is filled with the Holy Spirit will live a life filled with the Holy Spirit. What is a life filled with the Holy Spirit? It will bear fruit. In the journey of life’s results, the Spirit of truth will continue to shine in your life and mine. You will begin to discover that when you know God, you will become sensitive to sin. When you finish praying for resolution, the Holy Spirit will indwell you. In you, after you are baptized, because of the Spirit of God in your life, you will begin to be sensitive to sin, because the Holy Spirit comes to convict us of sin, righteousness, and judgment.

Therefore, the important thing is that a person who knows God and prays often will be enlightened by God. In fact, it is a very beautiful thing for a person to continue to be enlightened by God in this world, because we can have the opportunity to repent while we can still repent, and confess our sins as soon as we can. Our goal in this life is not on this earth. , but to be able to return to the Father’s house, this is our expectation.

And it is easy for us to be like the prophet Isaiah said in Chapter 6, verses 1 to 8 , when he saw some people being greedy and not obeying God’s law, he began to criticize, but God allowed him to see a strange person. Like, the kingdom on this earth is ruined, only the kingdom in heaven is high above, and only the King in heaven is high above! Then he began to have a great struggle within him. What should he do next? So God kept shining on him, and he said: ” Woe to me! I am a man of unclean lips ” (Isaiah 6:5) . Why do we want to criticize when we see it? If you and I want to enter a fourth-dimensional, supernatural realm, it is very important to always ask God: What should we do? Ask God what is my inner thinking? During this year of fearing God, let us learn together how to be holy in our lives, and even experience more of God’s amazing grace.

Pray for Yourself

Families, I would like to invite you to place your hands on your hearts and pray for yourself. Especially at the beginning of 2024, you must always declare: “Father! I am your son. I want to walk into your heart. I abide in you and you abide in me!” Let us declare it together. , come and bless yourself to enter the reality of the connection between the vine and the branches in John Chapter 15. In your life, once you are connected, you will bear more fruit. Once you are not connected, you will begin to enter the chaos in your soul. Encourage family members to always think about God’s wonderful grace.

Pray that You can Still Concentrate on Loving God During Busy Times

At the busy time when the holiday is coming to an end and the Lunar New Year is about to come, there are many busy things in the company and at home; and the so-called “reverence” means that in these busy and difficult moments, you can still concentrate on loving Him. Let us speak out together to declare for ourselves.

Oh God! In the name of Jesus Christ, I bless every precious child of God online. Please Lord, let my brothers and sisters often experience your wonderful grace. In particular, I want to bless every precious child of God in the name of Jesus Christ. , in 2024, I can be more led by You and more connected to You. May they fall in love with You more in 2024. Lord, please fill us with your loving presence now. My Lord, my God, thank you and praise you!

Pray for Healing from Sickness And Weakness

In prayer, I also want to bless such people. I feel that some of our family members have faced some difficulties recently, especially in the weakness of physical illness. Let us raise our holy hands and ask God to release the power of healing from the mercy seat into the lives of every God’s precious children. If family members online feel that there is any pain, please lay your hands on the uncomfortable position now. Come on, let us open our mouths and pray together.

Lord Jesus, I welcome You to stride into the life of every beloved child of God. May You release the healing current from the mercy seat and now flow down. Command all the powers of disease and the power of cancer in the name of Jesus Christ. Completely leave! I declare that you are coming in the glory of your kingdom and lead every one of your precious children of God. No matter whether you have a recent cold, mycoplasma infection, or unexpected bleeding, I declare that the heat of healing is released in the name of Jesus Christ. , loosen all the weight on your shoulders and neck, and your deeper presence warms each of our hearts. Please Lord, please take away all this unforgiveness and let our hearts return completely to You, Lord and God. Thank You and praise You!

If you feel relieved or healed during prayer, please send us a message to share.

Those who Fear Him Lack Nothing

Entering 2024, God has placed the word “fear” among us, and we must also learn to “fear” God together. Without the enlightenment and illumination of the Holy Spirit, you and I actually have no way to truly love Him. Only by truly believing and standing in the promises of the Bible can we experience God’s wonderful deeds.

During this week, God sent Psalm 34 verses 9-10 : “ Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear Him lack nothing. The young lions still lack food and are hungry, but “Whoever seeks the Lord will not lack any good thing.” Many theologians argue over Psalm 34, but I am more accepting of the view from the historical background that it was written by David during the most painful period of his life. work. When he was faced with the pursuit of Saul and had to flee, when he fled to Achish, king of Gath, ” Achish’s servants said to Achish: Isn’t this David, king of Israel? The women there are dancing and singing, are they not referring to Did he say that Saul killed thousands and David killed tens of thousands? ” (1 Samuel 21:11) I believe that David must have begun to feel threatened at that time, so he began to pretend to be crazy in front of Achish, king of Gath, so that Achish could be fooled. King Ji drove him away, allowing him to escape safely.

However, it was at that time that David began to experience God consistently. In David’s life, Saul’s pursuit never stopped, and David was so close to God that he never lost hope, so he said in the Psalm: “Fear the LORD, you holy ones, fear Him ”, This means that we must rise up and fall in love with Him. Those who fall in love with Him and fear Him will lack nothing. Families, know that you lack nothing.

When David was called by God, he spent thirteen or fourteen years on the run. However, he did not feel helpless or incompetent because he was always on the run. Continue to rely on God with thanksgiving and praise. If we want to continue to experience God in our lives, we must begin to experience through thanksgiving and praise that there is no shortage of benefits in seeking Him. This also means that every promise spoken through the Bible must be fulfilled in your life and mine. One of the most important things is “fear God”, and His promises can be obtained by those who fear God. As a reward in heaven, you can even experience all the kindness and blessings from people on earth.

How do we begin to enter into “awe”? The most important thing is that “it is better to obey orders than to sacrifice.” I want to encourage you to “obey orders”, and if you are willing to “obey”, you will begin to walk into a life of reverence; so “obey orders” plus “obey” is equivalent to “reverence”. If we want to enter into the promise of “not lacking any good thing”, we can only continue to fear Him and continue to experience Him.

So family members, is there anything lacking in your life? The so-called “reverence”, a very important thing is that when you are most difficult, you still have to choose to fear Him, you still have to get up and give yourself to Him alone, and even when you are the weakest and helpless, you can still believe Him. This is the beginning of the journey into awe.

Are you feeling discouraged now and starting to lose your way forward? I encourage you to continue to pray for yourself and ask God to give us a spirit of fear of the Lord so that we can love Him wholeheartedly. “Fear” in the original text has a deeper meaning, which is “to love Him with all your heart.” Let us pray together so that our family members who are facing shortages today can truly begin to fear God in their environment and begin to experience the wonderful deeds of God.

Lord Jesus, let us pray for each of our family members, asking You to give us this spirit of fear of the Lord now. In the name of Jesus Christ, we ask for this anointing of faith to anoint the lives of every family member now. Among us, some of us have some unresolved difficulties from 2023. May these times when You have not yet given or expressed Your intentions, and when there are still struggles in our hearts, may we have absolute confidence in You. Trust and absolute following. Please give us the will to love You so that we can experience Your wonderful deeds more deeply. My Lord my God, thank you and praise you!

Have you experienced any offense in the past few days? I think when faced with this problem, many people will say, Pastor, are you kidding! This will definitely happen! So, I want to remind my family members, don’t forget that in such a situation where we are easily offended, only by asking the Holy Spirit to help can we experience breakthroughs and see the wonderful deeds of God. Ask God to help us truly sanctify ourselves.

What offenses have you begun to face recently? Is it a human word? Or between family members? The offense you will experience this year will be greater than that of the previous ten or twenty years. You must know that when the shock becomes more and more severe, people’s hearts will be more likely to turn away like a book, and this is actually brought about by power. Impact. When you decide that this is not the power of God, you must learn to sanctify yourself. The Bible says: ” But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with the Lord. ” (1 Corinthians 6:17) The following days Here, we will see that it will become increasingly difficult for the person possessed by demons to be released, and he will even become less and less aware of his true spiritual situation. Maybe he will think that this is my nature, but in fact it is his nature. Possessed by a demon.

Let us begin to learn from the little things, when we face offense and inner struggle, to present it before God and ask Him how he wants us to respond. Family members, are you facing the same difficulties? Let us pray together.

Lord Jesus, return my beloved brothers and sisters to You, and may You continue to do wonderful work in their lives. In these difficult situations or difficult problems, we don’t know how to proceed, and may even become more and more angry as we go. God! May you come! May You rise up and let us decline even more! Release the fire of Your deep love to burn us. May every family member who is facing a difficult situation, as long as they pray immediately, they will be able to receive it immediately and experience a miraculous transformation immediately! I declare in the name of Jesus Christ: In 2024, because we fear God, may your precious children always walk into your glory! Lord, thank you and praise you!

Pray for The Church

Pray for more evangelism actions to arise in churches around the world

When I look forward to 2024, I especially feel that when many shakings come, the church needs a wave of evangelistic actions, and God’s intention is for us to make disciples of all nations, so we must continue to declare: In this season, the church has the ability to “go” and the ability to procreate, so that it can experience God’s wonderful deeds. Ask the Lord to enable churches in all countries to step out to preach and begin to have a deeper burden for the gospel.

Next, Japan will not be the only one to experience so many shakings at the beginning. Many other countries will begin to experience large and small shocks. Let us pray that in these shaking moments, ask the Lord to make salvation shine like a bright lamp. Right now! Right here! This is the moment, this is the moment.

Lord Jesus, You are the Captain of the Church among the nations! Please lead the church into Your deepest heart again, and may You release the deep fire of love to burn churches in all countries, so that the church can not only respond to Your first commandment, but also may we begin to experience the Lord when we step out. The glory of the Great Commission should not just stay in the revivals you have heard about in the past. I hope that in 2024, you will give revivals to turn people’s hearts and let the spirit of repentance continue to fill the churches of all nations. May the churches generate power. ! My Lord my God, thank you and praise you!

In these days of awe, God is leading the church into a new way. When I was praying for the nations, God sent Ezekiel Chapter 11, verses 19 to 20. Especially this year, I feel that the church will face two or three generations of problems. If we do not begin to enter into Malachi Chapter 4 Verses 5 to 6 , with the determination to “take back our hearts”, our challenges will become increasingly greater, and we may even lose an entire generation of young people.

Among us, if you are a pastor, a preacher, a small group leader, a fellowship counselor, or a service worker, you must pay attention. I think God is like what Ezekiel chapter 11 verses 19-20 says: “ I will give them unity of heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and I will remove the stony heart from their flesh, Give them a heart of flesh, so that they may obey my statutes and keep my judgments and do them. They shall be my people, and I will be their God. ”

This passage is actually a new covenant between God and the remnant of Israel. When we see that in the past, these Israelites began to worship idols and do abominable things, and judgment began to come. For the church, I don’t think we should stop at tradition, but God wants to put a new heart in us. The “unity heart” mentioned in the scriptures refers to “uniqueness” and “new heart”. “Spirit” refers to the “Holy Spirit”; the so-called “stone heart” refers to a very hard heart that has no feelings or emotions, while the “flesh heart” refers to a heart that has emotions and warmth. So, in fact, here we talk about the return of the remnant, and God also tells us that the church will become a city of refuge in the future, and many people will return, and the church must be prepared to rise up and take on the wave of revival.

Ask God to remove all the stony hearts in the church. Ask the Lord to give us a new heart and a new spirit. Do you feel that the church has entered a stone-hearted situation in any aspect? Whether it is the church world or your own church, is there a “stone-heart” in some things? There is a lack of emotion, perhaps because the emphasis has been on equipment systems or gospel ministry, making people seem to be tools for service. I want to encourage you, if you see a problem, all you have to do is start blessing.

Lord Jesus, we give back to You the church of the nations. The children will represent the pastors of the churches of all nations. Please give us revelation and strategies to help us not be busy serving in the outer court, as if we are always emphasizing the work of the ministry. Please Lord, let the church develop the ability to love You and respond to You. Come to seek You in the foundation of prayer! Lord Holy Spirit, I call upon You to release the deep fire of love to burn Your church, so that in 2024, we can greatly experience Your glory and see Your extreme will! My Lord my God, thank you and praise you!

Pray for The Nations

Pray for Energy

While praying for the nations, I felt that God was leading us to pray for energy issues. Especially in the international community, some people have begun to study water resources and prepare food. But I must say that in terms of energy, we can only rely on God who created energy, because humans have no way to prepare enough natural gas and oil. When there is a lack of energy, pray that the Lord can allow God’s children to begin to govern, and also reveal to us how to respond next. Let us cry out to God for our lack of energy.

Lord Jesus, You are the Creator of heaven and earth. Please show Your glory among the nations once again! We have to hand over the energy issue to You. Many times, we often think that all the energy on this earth will not be used up. However, in the end of the world, please forgive the rebellion of people’s hearts. May the Lord have mercy on the nations and enable the rulers and authorities on the earth to follow the rules. With Your grace, I really know how to deal with the problem of lack of energy, and how to face the days ahead. Lord Holy Spirit, I beg you to show your wonders in the nations and help the children of God to stand on the land of the nations and call on you. May you have mercy on us and let everyone experience you more deeply, so that every nation can see your extreme act. My Lord my God, thank you and praise you!

Pray for The Countries in The Middle East

When I pray, I want to bless Iran especially for the countries in the Middle East, including Iran, Israel, Palestine and other countries. I ask the Lord to break the dark forces behind Iran and truly declare that the kingdom of God is reigning in Iran. The Lord will stop all these wars and all nuclear weapons. May God awaken the rulers and powers in Iran through dreams and visions.

Heavenly Father, we thank You and praise You! We especially want to hand Iran back to You. The work You have done in Iran in the past, I believe You will not give up halfway. You will continue to complete Your intentions in Iran. Bless Iran in the name of Jesus Christ: Receive the gift of Jesus Christ salvation! Ask the Lord to send war angels to fight for Iran and bless the rulers and authorities in Iran. Please raise more circumstances so that they can experience that You are the only true God! May You reveal Your will through dreams and visions, so that the rulers on earth can rise up and fear You. My Lord my God, thank you and praise you !

We also continue to pray for the war between Israel and Palestine, asking God to stop all these wars. In our spirits, we also see that the countries seem to be ready to stir up trouble at this moment, and ask God to bring peace to them.

Abba Father, your intention is for all Messianic believers to fully return to the Lord. We want to cry out to you on behalf of Israel. Please remove all obstacles that prevent Israel from experiencing your deeper love. May you release the deepest love. His love burns Israel! Especially pray for Sudan. May You give abundant products to this country so that Sudan can experience Your wonderful provision. We must also pray for the relationship between the countries in the Middle East and Israel, and ask the Lord to be the mediator between these countries and Israel. May Your will become more apparent. In 2024, we will see that the final glory will be greater than the previous glory. . My Lord my God, thank you and praise you!

Pray for mainland China

I especially want to pray for mainland China. I feel that in 2024, the economy of mainland China needs God’s wonderful grace. May God’s deeper love touch continue to illuminate and enlighten us, so that we can truly see that mainland China must fully surrender to the Lord. God will do wonderful work in mainland China.

Lord Jesus, the child will return his family in mainland China to You once again! Please show your glory in mainland China and declare in the name of Jesus Christ: The rulers and powers belong to you! Your deeper love touches them. Ask the Lord to stop all natural disasters! You let your children see that natural disasters continue to occur in mainland China, and even bacteria and viruses continue to spread, and the power of disease is shrouded in it. Even economically, many small and medium-sized enterprises are facing the dilemma of closing. Call on the Lord to let the entire mainland of China survive in 2024. Here, I will greatly experience Your glory, and I will greatly see Your wonderful deeds, Lord Holy Spirit! My Lord my God, thank you and praise you!

Pray for Japan

I feel that God is going to rescue Japan. I see earthquakes and accidents happening constantly, and I pray to God to stop them, and to let the Japanese church raise a wave of revival prayer fire in 2024, which will burn the Japanese church world.

Heavenly Father, we thank you and praise you! Please keep Japan in your arms again, Japan belongs to You! Call on the Lord, the Holy Spirit, to reveal Your wonder in Japan and to complete Your work! You allow your children to see the constant vibrations in Japan. May You release your deep love to burn Japan and make Japan completely yours! May Your will be accomplished in Japan and let Japan be fully restored. When the next shock occurs, please allow the Japanese church to develop the power of prayer. Through the prayers of the Japanese church and the labors of God’s children of all countries, in the name of Jesus Christ, The name declares: The number of people being saved in Japan will increase every day! My Lord my God, thank you and praise you!

Family members, are you experiencing lack in or in your life at this moment? Write down this lack now to encourage you to continue to bless this lack throughout the coming week. What do you want to bless? When you see shortcomings, stand up and bless, and even declare that you are the richest. “Awe” is to begin to change your heart and mind and fall in love with God to the point that you are reluctant to let Him be sad because of you.

Please Lord, the Holy Spirit will lead us to experience Your glory greatly in the coming week, and give us the spirit of fearing the Lord, so that we can love You more deeply! Thank you for leading us into your joy. Thank you, praise you, give you glory, pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!

Hymn to the Sabbath

Notes: Song of the Red Sea and Song of Bara, Hymn to the Sabbath

After great miracles come great challenges

• Moses and the people encountered the Red Sea
• Exodus 13:17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God would not lead them by that way, though the road to the land of the Philistines was near; for God said, lest the people regret it when they see the war, and return to Egypt .
• God never takes us to take shortcuts. He has prepared a way for us to move forward by faith and not to retreat.
• Exodus 14:10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites lifted up their eyes and saw the Egyptians approaching, and they were terrified and cried out to the LORD.
• Exodus 14:11 They said to Moses, Are there no graves in Egypt, and did you bring us to die in the wilderness? Why did you do this to us, bringing us out of Egypt?

Make prompt decisions  –  listen to God

• Exodus 14:14 The LORD will fight for you; be silent; be silent.
• Exodus 14:15 The LORD said to Moses, Why do you cry to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
• Exodus 14:16 Stretch out your hand over the sea and divide the waters. The Israelites were to go down into the sea and walk on dry land.

Big challenges bring bigger miracles

• Exodus 14:26-30 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, and let the water close upon the Egyptians, and upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the water was restored again. When the Egyptians fled through the water, the Lord overthrew them into the sea, and the water returned and covered their chariots and horsemen. Not even one of Pharaoh’s entire army remained who had followed the Israelites into the sea. But the children of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea; the water was a wall on their right and left. In this way the Lord delivered the Israelites that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and the Israelites saw the dead bodies of the Egyptians on the seashore.

Pharaoh’s Hardness vs.  God’s Glory

• Exodus 8:15 But when Pharaoh saw that the calamity was relieved, he hardened his heart WH03513 and would not listen to them, just as the LORD had spoken.
• Exodus 8:32 This time Pharaoh hardened his heart WH03513 and did not allow the people to go.

• Exodus 14:4 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them, and I will have glory on Pharaoh and on all his army WH03513; and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD. So the Israelites did this.

God can be glorified in the things people are proud of

• Exodus 14:18 Then   the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I am honored in Pharaoh’s chariots and his horsemen.
• Exodus 20:12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God is giving you. Ask God to give us an attitude that honors God (don’t fall short of God’s glory and steal glory)
• John 14:13 Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
• Romans 8:17 And if they are children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. If we suffer with Him, we will also be glorified with Him.
• 1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the secret wisdom of God, which was formerly hidden, which God destined before the ages for our glory.
• 2 Thessalonians 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 1 Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God; if anyone serves, let him do so with the strength God gives him, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. It turns out that the glory and power belong to him forever and ever. Amen!

Song of Moses

• Exodus 15:1-19 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang to the LORD, saying, I will sing to the LORD, for he has conquered mightily, and has cast the horse and his rider into the sea. The Lord is my strength, my song, and my salvation. This is my  God, and I will praise him, and my father’s  God, and I will exalt him. The LORD is a warrior; his name is LORD. The Lord has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his troops into the sea; his chosen captains have perished in the Red Sea. The deep waters covered them; they fell like stones into the depths. Your right hand, O LORD, shows its power and glory; your right hand, O LORD, breaks the enemy in pieces. Your majesty is great, and you overthrow those who rise up against you; your anger is like fire, and you consume them like stubble. When you breathe out the breath in your nose, the water will gather into heaps, the great water will stand upright like a dam, and the deep water in the sea will condense. The enemy says: I will pursue them, I will overtake them; I will divide the spoil, and I will fulfill my desire in them. I will draw my sword and kill them with my own hands. You cause the wind to blow, and the sea covers them; they sink like lead in the flood. Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like you—holy and glorious, blessed and awesome, performing wonders? You stretch out your right hand, and the earth swallows them up. In your love you have received your redeemed people; in your power you have brought them to your sanctuary. When the Gentiles heard it, they trembled; and pain seized upon the inhabitants of the Philistines. At that time the chiefs of Edom were dismayed, the heroes of Moab were seized with trembling, and the hearts of the inhabitants of Canaan were melted. Horror and terror came upon them. Because of the power of your arm, O Lord, they remain as stone, waiting for your people to pass over, for your redeemed people to pass over. You shall bring them in and plant them in the mountains of your inheritance, the dwelling place which you have made for yourself, O Lord; the sanctuary which your hands have established, O Lord. The Lord will reign forever and ever! Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen went down into the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to return and cover them; but the Israelites walked on dry ground in the sea.

Jehovah Rapha

• Exodus 15:23-26 When they arrived at Marah, they could not drink the water there; because the water was bitter, so the name of the place was Marah. So the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? Moses called to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. He threw the tree into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD made statutes and judgments for them, and there he tested them; and he said: If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in my eyes, and listen carefully to my commandments, and keep all my commandments, I will not put on you the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians, for I, the LORD, heal you.

The Lord is a fountain of living water

• Exodus 15:27 And they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters.
• Exodus 17:1-6 And the whole community of Israel marched from the wilderness of Sin according to the command of the LORD, and encamped at Rephidim. The people had no water to drink, so they quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink!” Moses said to them: Why do you quarrel with me? Why are you testing the LORD? The people were thirsty there and wanted water, and they murmured against Moses, saying, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, so that we, our sons, our daughters, and our livestock would die of thirst?” Then Moses cried out to the LORD and said, “What shall I do to this people?” They almost stoned me. The LORD said to Moses: Take in your hand the staff with which you struck the water, and pass in front of the people with some of the elders of Israel. I will stand before you at the rock of Horeb. You are to strike the rock, and water will come out of the rock for the people to drink. Moses did this in the presence of the elders of Israel.
• Amos 8:1 The days are coming, declares the Lord God, when I will send famine on the earth. People are hungry not because of lack of bread, and thirsty not because of lack of water, but because they do not listen to the word of the Lord.

manna

• Exodus 16:2 And the whole community of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness;
• Exodus 16:3 says: If only we had died in the land of Egypt, by the hand of the LORD, when we sat by the pots of meat and ate to our fill. You brought us out into this wilderness to starve the whole congregation!
• Exodus 16:4 And the LORD said to Moses, I will send you bread from heaven. The people can go out and collect their portion each day, so that I can test whether they obey my laws or not.
• Exodus 16:5 On the sixth day they shall prepare twice as much as they brought in each day.
• Exodus 16:6 Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “When evening comes, you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt.”

God is the provision in the wilderness

• Exodus 16:12-15 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Tell them, “You will eat meat at evening, and you will be satisfied with your food in the morning, and you will know that I am the LORD your God.” In the evening quails came and covered the camp; in the morning there was dew on the ground around the camp. After the dew rose, behold, there were small round objects like white frost on the wild ground. When the Israelites saw it, they did not know what it was, so they asked one another, “What is this?” Moses said to them: This is the food the Lord has given you to eat.
• Exodus 16:27-28 On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, but found nothing. The Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

Leaders need support and  empowerment

• Exodus 17:8-13 At that time the Amalekites came to fight against the Israelites at Rephidim. Moses said to Joshua: Choose men for us to go out and fight against the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will hold the rod of God in my hand and stand on the top of the mountain. So Joshua did as Moses had told him and fought against the Amalekites. Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the mountain. Whenever Moses raised his hands, the Israelites prevailed; whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites prevailed. But Moses’ hands became heavy, so they brought a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side and the other on the other side, and his hands remained steady until sunset. Joshua killed the king of Amalek and his people with the sword.

 Jehovah Nissi

• Exodus 17:14 The LORD said to Moses, “I will completely blot out the name of Amalek from under the heaven. Write this for a memorial in a book, and read it to Joshua.”
• Exodus 17:15 Moses built an altar and called it Jehovah-Nissi (which means Jehovah is my banner).
• Exodus 17:16 And he said: The LORD has sworn an oath that he will fight against the Amalekites from generation to generation.

I, the Lord, am your healer ( see Exodus 15:26)

Editorial Special Section: Miracles in the Israel-Hamas War (12) – The Miraculous Power of Gratitude – Thanking God Under All Circumstances

Date: January 14, 2024   Source: Stories to Inspire Video

Today we’ve got an incredible and timely story to share from the Gaza War told over by Rabbi Shalam Arush. It is a tale of gratitude, belief in a higher power and how sometimes things happen for reasons beyond our immediate understanding.

There was an Israeli woman who was on a long drive home in her car,  listening to one of Rabbi Shalom Arush’s Emunah broadcasts on the radio.  Emunah literally means faith in God, and Rabbi Shalom Arush was speaking about the importance of gratitude, that everything is from God and that it’s all from the good. He was speaking about how gratitude triggers miraculous salvations. 

Later at home during dinner, the woman told her family what she heard from the

broadcast.  She explained how thanking God for life’s trying difficulties shows

that a person believes that God loves them with no bounds, and that gratitude nullifies stern judgments and decrees. Her daughters then said to each other if that’s the case then we should start thanking God every time the bomb siren goes off.  They live close to the Gaza border, so every time we hear a missile exploding, they said we should say thank you again.  

A few days later, there was a ceasefire the family had not  been out of the house for 3 weeks, so they decided to have an outing at the park and breathed some fresh air.  The park was absolutely empty. The family spread a blanket on the ground and unpacked their picnic lunch.  Meanwhile,  they discussed faith in God and gratitude.  

Suddenly, they saw that their little daughter was missing. They all ran in different directions to look for her.  The husband who was near his wife heard her mumble, thank you God that my daughter is missing.  Her husband said in all due respect, why in the world are you saying thank you that our daughter is missing in these tense times? 

The bomb sirens started wailing.  Each member of the family scurried to cover.

The mother once again said, thank you God for the siren, thank you that my daughter is missing.  She did a great job internalizing that lesson.  But her husband scolded her, saying, this time you’ve gone too far.  I’ve seen exaggerative spirituality but this takes the cake.  

All of a sudden, they heard a loud boom.  A missile landed and exploded exactly where their picnic lunch was.  Instead of the blanket and the food, there was a scorched crater in the ground.  They found their little daughter frightened and whimpered behind their parked car.  Had she not strayed away and forced the whole family to spread out looking for her, the missile would have exploded right on them.  No one in the family argued with the mother anymore.  They all started saying thank you God，even when they didn’t understand，how something was for the best.

This story shows us how everything God does is truly for the best but even when we don’t see how things are for the best，like they ultimately did, we must , nevertheless, believe that they are and thank God accordingly

Pray for America: 24 Prayers for 24/7 Prayer Against Terror Attacks in America

Editor’s note: As prophet Chris Reeds mentioned in the message “As is Israel, so is the United States ,” many sleeper cells of terrorist organizations have infiltrated into the United States and established many camps. Like this terrorist attack coming from Israel’s southern border, they are also plotting attacks in the United States through people passing through our southern border. We need to pray, watch, listen, watch, and like the children of Issachar, know the times and seasons.
