Related Events and Prayer Background

Editor’s Note: Busyness is One of the Greatest Dangers in This Selah Moment

I heard the Lord say ‘One of the Greatest Dangers upon my people in this Selah moment has been busyness’.

I have had quite a number of encounters with the Lord over the last month that are the deepest I have ever had and each one has had three very distinct themes.

1. This is a HOLY moment.
2. This is NOT a time to be BUSY.
3. There is VERY significant impartation containing DETAILED revelation from the 

Lord’s heart of what’s to come and His wisdom. There is a VERY deep invitation that is available right now where He wants to share His secrets and His wisdom on a level that we have NEVER walked in, but these secrets and deep wisdom are only being entrusted to those who are truly after Him and His heart alone. Those that ministering to Him first and foremost. 

I had a very deep dream recently and in the dream the Lord showed me that this invitation that is being extended right now is being found in the DEEP and HIDDEN places. In my dream this door was found at the ocean floor, representing the VERY deep places. The door represented the ANCIENT PATHS (Jeremiah 6:16) and the NARROW gate. (Matthew 7:13)

 This invitation was in the hidden place. It was the place of going deep in that hidden place to FIND HIM and His heart. In this dream at the ocean floor was a door and the sense surrounded me SO strongly that this door even though it is AVAILABLE to many, not all will find it. That door is found by those who aren’t promoting their own names, their own ministries, have an agenda to glorify themselves and walk in pride, but it is found by the HUMBLE. It is found by those who are truly seeking the heart of Jesus and to KNOW HIM and those whose YES to Him is their greatest priority. What also struck me deeply in this dream was that in this place you are not ‘seen’ by others, you are only seen ‘by Him’. It’s a deep place in Him. To go to the depth and find this door of invitation a dying to ‘needing to be seen’ has to take place. It’s the place of joy that is found in knowing that you are seen and loved by the One who is your greatest love.

I cannot adequately describe in words the DEPTH of His heart that I felt, the depth of His wisdom and revelation being released. The DEPTH actually took my breath away in the dream. There were no words for the depth that we are being invited into. This is a deep, deep time of maturing and being schooled by Him and being taken deeper into revelation of His Word. It’s a time to be in the Word and deep in the Word more than ever.

But the Lord showed me that there is a very real danger upon many right now of missing this door and missing this impartation that the Lord is releasing because they are “busy building”. I heard those words SO loudly “BUSY BUILDING”.

This is IMPORTANT to note. I want to explain this, the Lord is speaking about a spiritual busyness. We are called to be about what the Father directs, but we are not to be spiritually busy in order to just build our own platforms or do our own thing.

This is a time in this new era to build with the Lord, but right now, in this SELAH moment that the Lord has given us as the Church as a gift, it was not a time to ‘get busy building’, it was and is a time to be still and LISTEN.

The Lord spoke so clearly to me recently:

“There is a holy hush that I am inviting My people into. Be still, be silent and listen to what I am saying. Don’t rush to release My revelation or parade My revelation, for there is precious deep intricate revelation I am releasing to those positioned ministering to Me first. Listen more than you speak right now.” 

Over the last week I have had many encounters with the Lord where He has shown me that He is going to be looking upon the Church as we come out of this SELAH moment, who has really leaned in and listened to the Lord. Those who have taken the time to “come away” and “come aside” and really encounter His heart and hear what the Spirit is saying for what is to come, the wisdom NEEDED and REQUIRED to navigate the new days we have entered.

The Lord showed me that in this invitation into the depths we have never been in, in His wisdom and in His Word, He is releasing DEEP DETAILS of what He is going to do as we come out of this SELAH time and what ‘building with Him’ coming out of this time will look like and it is going to look VERY different to how it has looked before. The danger is, if you have not been positioned to hear and receive His wisdom for the new thing that He is going to do, then you will build as you always have. Not that how we have built before was wrong, it was good for that time, but God is now going to be building in a new way, there will be a new positioning, there will be a restructuring, and in some of the ways the Lord moves and builds will cause offense to many, if you do not have eyes to see and ears to hear and have spent this time with the Lord receiving His heart and His wisdom for what is to come and what it will look like (James 1:5)

“He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.” (Daniel 2:21-22 – ESV)

Friends, the crossover HAS happened. The Lord showed me very clearly that the FRUIT of this SELAH TIME is going to be VERY evident when we come out of this time. This divine SELAH moment was a time of significant alignment, a time of purification, a time of repentance, a time of going deep.

This is a time to draw close to the Lord, and not ‘fill the space’ with busyness, but this is a time to truly seek His heart and those that are, are entering into a place of the deepest revelation and INTRICATE DETAILS contained in His wisdom of building with Him in this new era.

This is what the LORD says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’ (Jeremiah 6:16)

Let us be positioned to ask for the old, godly way and walk in it and let us be those who EMBRACE that road.

Editor’s Note: Pray for Muslims During Ramadan

Dear  24/7 Prayer Wall intercessor,

The Ramadan this year is from April 24 to May 23. Last week, we introduced the “The 30 Days gudie to pray for the Muslim”  here (please click here to download this prayer guide), and we encourage everyone to pray for Muslims during Ramadan, we introduce another resource for praying for Muslims: “Pray for All Nations”:

God loves Muslims. He LOVES them! He loves them SO much that He came to the earth, and sacrificed His life for their sins. Then, He resurrected from the grave.

• He wants all Muslims “to be saved and understand the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4) 
• Jesus said “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

 Praise God, that is exactly what is happening today! More Muslims have turned to follow Jesus in the past 15 years compared to 1400 years ago. But our hearts are still heavy because 1.8 billion Muslims are still living without finding Jesus Christ and salvation. So we PRAY for them!

If you want to listen to English version, you can click here daily and follow the Muslim Christian intercessors in the movie to pray for the lost soul of  Muslim.

May God bless you for your dedication!

But praise God for encouraging the body of Christ through Bob. It is time for Christians to stand on our position and proclaim the Word of God. God has given us authority, and it is time to conduct it.

Facing the global plague, the current news media just like terrorists which mostly release fear and panic. But we are children of God, and we must live out our faith in God without fear. This is the best time to look for God and release faith to testify to the world with life. In this darkness, the great light of God will come, and the glory of the Lord will fall on the children of God. Because after these big storms, the harvest field will mature and the big harvest will come.

Therefore, please be prepared for the great harvest of one billion souls. We must prepare the barn, the harvest is at hand. Don’t be afraid, keep faith and be blessed by God!

Pray for Israel: My Aliyah Story – Experiencing the Miracles of God in Israel

【Background:  Starting this week, we will occasionally publish various testimonies  or articles about Israel to help you understand Israel  and her people, so that we can pray in a deeper way for Israel.

The following is the testimony by Sister Hannah, the founder of the Voice of Israel  Ministry:

I had always considered Canada my home – it was the place where I grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family and spent the first three decades of my life. But all that changed when, through an amazing miracle during a crisis pregnancy, I came to faith in my Messiah, Yeshua, and began to read the Bible. [1]

I read about how, as Jewish people, we had been exiled into all four corners of the earth – because of our sin – but that one day God promised to bring us back home. Every time I read the prophecies about the return of the exiles of Israel, my heart stirred within me to be part of this exciting end-time move of God.

At the time, I was a single mother with three children and did not see how I could possibly make aliyah (immigrate to Israel) on my own; but with God all things are possible. Soon I met my Polish-born husband at a Messianic congregation in Canada. He had the same deep desire to make aliyah and so together, even while just newlyweds, we packed our bags and went by faith – like Abraham – leaving behind our land, home, and family – mother and father, brothers and sisters – in order to go to a land that He would show us.

For the first time, we heard people clapping and singing when the El Al aircraft touched down at the Ben Gurion airport. Stepping off the airplane onto Israeli soil was an incredible experience! Seeing the palm trees swaying in the breeze, feeling the sunshine on our faces, and hearing people speaking Hebrew all around us –  it felt like a dream and we were filled with joy.

“When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing.”  (Psalm 126:1-2)

Not really knowing where we were going, we hailed a monit (taxi) to haul us and our luggage to a hostel in Tel Aviv. The taxi driver asked where to take us; and when I gave him our destination, he asked me a curious question, “At Yehudiyah?” “Are you Jewish?”

When I answered ‘Yes’, he began to holler, saying, “If this is your first Shabbat in Israel, you don’t want to be in Tel Aviv! You need to be in Jerusalem!” To my utter shock, he then got on his cell phone and cancelled our reservation in Tel Aviv.  Turning to me, he then asked, “So… where to?”

This was my first taste of culture shock in Israel. As a ‘nice, polite Canadian’, this kind of behavior would be unthinkable; but in Israel, our business is everyone’s business – as I soon found out. When my children were born in Israel, people always had opinions (which they often expressed – loudly) on how they should be dressed or fed or raised. Sometimes the entire bus would get into an argument over whether my baby was dressed too hot or too cold for the weather. A perfect stranger would tell me that I really should cut my baby’s fingernails.

I came to understand that, in Israel, we are one big family – our children are everyone’s children, our business is their business too. We laugh and rejoice together at simchas (joyous occasions) and we weep together in times of tsuris (trouble or sorrow). We stand together as one and sing Hatikvah, Israel’s national anthem, on both Yom Hazikaron (remembrance Day) as we weep for the soldiers we have lost in all the wars; and on Yom Ha’atzma’ut (Independence Day) as we rejoice in the miracle of the re-birth of the nation of Israel.

Yes, as with most families, we sometimes argue and disagree; but we also know that anyone would defend us with their life if need be. It came to be something I love and cherish about this special people.

We still had no idea where to go or what to do when we arrived; but I remembered that there was a pro-life (Be’ad Chaim) conference going on at Yad Hashmona, the Messianic village (moshav) near Jerusalem so we told the taxi driver to take us there. Dumping us and our luggage in the lobby, we went to the desk to register only to find out that they were booked solid. There was no room at the inn for us weary travelers.

We found a room at a hotel nearby and attended the conference. It was amazing to sing worship and spiritual warfare songs (Kuma Adonai) in Hebrew and to actually meet some of the pioneer Messianic musicians who composed these songs! Ted Walker invited me to share my testimony; and it was such a joy and delight to share with my people and to hear it translated into Hebrew.

Still, we were exhausted and had no idea where to stay that would not soon deplete our limited funds (that had been miraculously donated by a precious sister in the Lord from Barbados). I fell upon the ancient stones facedown and cried out to the Lord. Suddenly, a beautiful American woman appeared, asking if we had anywhere to stay. When I confessed that we didn’t even have a clue, she offered us her lovely, sea-side apartment in Netanya to us as free accommodations for three full months until we could settle our aliyah and find a long term place to live.

Wow! This was our first miracle; but on the first of many. We found out that God delights in faith; and when we step off the cliff with a heart full of faith, He swoops in to catch us and support us with His everlasting arms.

Making aliyah like this was really crazy (meshugah). I had only been to Israel once before as a tourist – on a Jewish synagogue youth tour – but I fell in love with the country; and for the first time in my left I felt like I was truly ‘home’. Even while, at that time, I was a secular Jew, living in the ways of the world, I had an awesome encounter with God at the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem. I experienced His loving presence as my ‘Abba Father’ welcoming me, His child, a daughter of Zion, back home. I made a promise to myself, to the people of Israel and to God, that one day I would return. It took me twenty years to fulfill that promise.

Of course, making aliyah and actually dealing with daily living in Israel is a much different experience than just coming on tour – as I was soon to find out! Staying in 5 star hotel accommodations, eating at delicious Israel buffets, and travelling on an air conditioned bus together with other excited young people and a handsome Israeli tour guide, did not properly prepare me for the challenge of making aliyah.

We soon found out that there are giants in the Land. Besides the culture shock, financial trials and language barriers (my elementary school Hebrew was not completely fluent), we also needed to face an especially formidable giant called Misrad Hapnim – the Ministry of Interior. Apparently, someone from my Orthodox Jewish family, informed the authorities that we were ‘Jews for Jesus’; therefore we came under investigation and were denied our rightful citizenship under the Law of Return which states that any Jewish person has the right to make aliyah.

So began a long and fierce battle, spiritually and in the natural with the Israeli bureaucracy, during which time were felt like we were ‘under siege’ – unable to work to feed our family. We could not receive health care or an education for our children. I had several miscarriages and our faith was stretched to its limits.

But through it all, God guided us, provided for us and sustained us – until in the end; the children and I miraculously received our Israeli citizenship. A clerk at Misrad Hapnim (who knew that we were Messianic believers) said that it would only be “over her dead body” that we would ever receive Israeli citizenship; but God is able. Even those things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Unfortunately, my husband was never given the citizenship that was due to him as the spouse of a Jewish immigrant; and eventually he was even denied even a work visa to support his family. By this time we had two more children – Sabras – born in the Land of Israel; but my husband was not legally allowed to work. We found ourselves homeless, helpless and hopeless. My health had suffered with the birth of my last child, Avi-ad – a planned home birth in the desert (Negev) that turned into a life-threatening crisis with me being rushed in a ICU ambulance to Be’er Sheva to save me and the baby.

Finally, in 2003, with the baby only 6 months old, my husband was evicted from the land – given 14 days to leave the country. He been evangelizing throughout the country and the Israeli authorities wanted him out! We had no more strength, in our utter brokenness, or the resources to keep fighting the good fight.

We were all devastated as we headed back to Canada. It meant the death of our hopes and dreams and eventually it led to the dissolution of our marriage. But several years later, in December of 2009, God made a way where there was a way for me and my children to return to the Land where we re-established our home in a small village (moshav) in the Judean hills.

“Though I scattered them among the nations, yet in far countries they shall remember me, and with their children they shall live and return.”  (Zechariah 10:9)

My eldest daughter (who originally made aliyah at the age of 16) found her ‘prince’, an incredible worship leader, composer and video producer; and they make their home along with their five beautiful children (my grandchildren) in the same village. It is amazing to see what the Lord is doing in the land – raising up a whole new generation of Messianic Jewish believers – worshipers, prayer warriors, and congregational leaders to shepherd the growing flocks.

Despite the challenges, living in the Land of Israel is amazing! We can actually witness the miraculous restoration of the Land before our very eyes – the desert is blooming with beautiful flowers and the cities are inhabited and filled with people! The land that had been barren and desolate for two thousand years – is now filling the world with fruit. We can literally “taste and see that the Lord is good.”

But we have to remember that the nation of Israel was birthed out of pain, tragedy and loss. Out of the ashes of the Holocaust, God has created beauty. I see Israel as a sign to the nations and to people all over the world of His mercy. Even though we may go through many trials and tribulations in this lifetime that may leave us barren and desolate – He can bring beauty out of the ashes and give us the oil of joy instead of mourning; the garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness.

What God has done for Israel, He can do for each one of us. He can turn our mourning into dancing and cause us to become trees of righteousness – that He may be glorified.

Critical Event: Pray for The Month of Ramadan

【Current Affairs: There are more than 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. During Ramadan, in order to get closer to “Allah”, they fast, pray, reflect and gather together. This year’s Ramadan is from April 24 to May 23. But with the spread of the coronavirus, many Muslim country governments have to place  unprecedented restrictions on people from moving, gatherings, and collective prayers. Many mosques are closed, and large families are prohibited from eating and drinking in the evening after fasting during the day.

For Christians in Muslim countries, Ramadan may be a time of isolation and even danger. Especially for the Muslim converts. Imagine what would happen if a secret believer was “trapped” with his family? The converts has to either hide his belief and pretend to observe the month of Ramadan or expose his belief and then face rejection, anger and even violence from his family and community.

During Ramadan, please pray for the salvation of Muslims and remember the brothers and sisters who were persecuted in the Islamic world.

First Nation in North American: Walking With The First Nation:”Align With the Heart of the Father” (2) –Overcome the Curse of the Land Together With the First Nation People and Bring the Revival

Editor’s note : On April 16, the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Chinese and the First Nation leaders Lockley Bremner and Joe Donnell held a gathering On the “Align with Father’s Heart”(click here for details ).

【Current affair: This week, we continue to share the summary the purpose of the gathering “Align with Father’s Heart” by East Coast Chinese leaders Pastor Peng:

Sins of Man caused the land to be cursed

The Coronavirus epidemic spread throughout the United States and The First Nation tribes are also attacked, especially the Navajo nation. Today is the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a time to confess and repent sins and to remove all sins and transgressions. As we all know, when without repentance of our sins, the earth will be cursed. In chapter 3 of Genesis, when Adam sinned, it not only broke his relationship with God, so was his relationship with Eve, and earth no longer worked for him. In Chapter 4, the first murder on earth occurred between Cain and Abel. Although not visible to human’s eyes, the ground opened and received Abel’s blood, and the blood cried out for innocent souls.

Land belongs to God

So, today people from all over the nation came together to stand with the First Nation in this gathering because we really believe that the First Nation people have a holy call from God to steward the land. The First Nation people are always very keen on issues of the land. They understand land does not belong to anyone and cannot be bought and sold because land belongs to God. No one can say “I am the owner of the land “, only God can. We need to share the land of God together. The First Nation people understand this very well.

European and American immigrants slaughter First Nation people and cursed the land

Unfortunately, as European immigrated to the land, they abducted the First Nation  people to sign contracts and drove them away from the land where they grew up by force. As a result, the First Nation people can no longer watch over the land. Because of past wounds and hurts, many innocent people were hurt and slaughtered on this land never repented or reconciled, so this land was deeply cursed to a certain extent. Just as in the Old Testament Jeremiah Or in Deuteronomy, if a person does not repent, the blood will overflow and the ground will spit it out. I believe all creations are waiting for repentance. As Romans 8:19 says, “For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. “

Stand with the First Nation people and bring revival

That was the purpose of our gathering on the last day of Feast of Unleavened Bread. Not only do we confess and repent for the sins, we also turn a new page. We want to declare that we will take back the promised land of God and possess this land to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ. In the next ten years, which is also the Hebrew “ Pey “ era, we declare that the First Nation’s status of the eldest son of the land will be restored. When we, the immigrants of all different ethnic groups, along with generations, confess and and repent with them, as in Chronicles 7: 13-14 : “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. “ God will hear our prayers from heaven and forgive our sins and heal our land. So, today as an immigrant to the United States, I consider it an honour and privilege to join the First Nation people in America to to reconnect with the land. We are going to see Billy Graham’s prophecy fulfilled and the birth of the revival before us!
