Although it is very difficult now, we will become fine gold. God will bring forth good things. Nothing can surpass Him. All things are possible for Him.

Editor’s Note : The following short video Preparation for Nissan was recorded by Pastor Lee Yuehua the leader of intercession in Taiwan for the month of Nissan (please click here ):. Nissan (March 14th to April 12th) this year is a very important month. The Holy Spirit moved Pastor Lee to revisit all the events of Nissan the first month of the year in the Bible. We also encourage all intercessors to prepare for the marching forward and enter the destiny that God has for us.
I find that month of Nissan is very important and there are many reminders. I want to send such an instant message to those in need as encouragement. This message is actually not for the New Moon, but the Holy Spirit reminded me last week that the first month of this year is very important because it is the first month of 5781, which means we once again come to a 1111 alignment, and then He reminds me,.to look at all the events of the first month in the Bible in a revelatory way, and to bring reminders in our lives.

Pray for United States: Restoring a Bible-based Educational System
Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from the 3/20 prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” from Dutch Sheets, the intercession leader. “I invite you to join me every day and pray for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily “Give Him 15 Minutes”, comment, and then we will pray together. When we “petition to heaven” for the United States, you can join us here.
【Background: God belongs in our schools. In fact, He is desperately needed there. When America was founded, there was no question in our Founders’ minds whether or not children’s education would include the scriptures. The Bible was seen as a textbook and children were expected to know foundational passages. Society at the time fully recognized there were many topics covered in the Bible that were essential knowledge for life, such as ethics, government, and law. Children were commonly taught to read using the Bible. …Detailed Reading】
- Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
- Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance!
【PRAYER】
- Praise God that America is Built Upon Christ: Father God, thank You that America’s founding fathers understand that America’s freedom, growth, and prosperity depend on the ability to educate the next generation based on biblical principles; therefore, they establish America;s government with God’s Word, integrate the Bible into education and all levels of society, establish a solid family relationship and structure, with the morality, justice, and law based on the Bible, and lay the foundation for building a nation for future generations.
- Reversing the American Education System: Father God, please forgive us for being slumber, weak, and retreat, and allow humanism to infiltrate our education, causing it to drift away from biblical principles, and allow God and the Bible to be completely expelled from all levels. The campus is now caught in a bitter battle for the freedom of faith for students. Please have mercy on us! Awaken Your church so that we will no longer shrink back and stand bravely for the next generation and the kingdom of God, and actively enter all fields to reverse the American education system and restore these solid foundations for building good character. Our children know God, fear God, follow God’s commandments, understand God’s will, and transform America in an all-round way!
- We Declare in the Name of Jesus Christ:
- The God-fearing spirit will be all over America!
- Children who fear God will enter the education system and turn the education system around!
- The Holy Spirit will pour greatly over all campuses, ignite the fire of prayer, and build prayer altars!
- The name of God will be honored on every campus, and the Bible will be exalted on campus!
- The United States will once again educate American youth in accordance with the principles of the Bible.
- The United States is a country where Jehovah is her God, and the United States is blessed!
- The American people are chosen by God as His inheritance, and the American people are blessed!
In the holy name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Editor’s Note: Nita Johnson: We Will Come out of the Furnace of Trials and Become Fine Gold
Information : Nita Johnson Date: March 13, 2021 Source: EncounterU
Thank you again for coming tonight. This country needs your prayers. God is using your prayers to bring the greatest benefit to this country. We will come out of the furnace of trial. Although it is very difficult now, we will become fine gold. God will bring forth good things. Nothing can surpass Him. All things are possible for Him. Don’t let anyone make you believe that God is standing in a corner and is unwilling to do this. He is teaching His people, and strengthening His people. Although the original intent of the enemy is evil, God will use it as a blessing to us. Therefore, we must stand strong and pray, we believe Him, and trust Him. Tonight, I want the Lord to know everything about us. Now, let us pray.
Father God, how great and awesome You are, and worthy to be praised! We need not be afraid. You are on our side. Who can resist us? If God is for us, who can resist us? And truly, for the church, You still have plans and goals for this country that the wicked don’t know. You have brought us a champion, he was not a champion himself, but he became a champion in You because he loves You. Before the people of America were aware of it, he already cried out to You. He has persisted for many years and he has also joined the church. You are no stranger to him, he is just a Christian who does not live like a mainstream Christian, waiting for his calling. You fulfilled this call, You did what You wanted to do at the right time, and he did not delay not even a day.
Father God, he seeks to do everything You desire. Therefore, we bless him in Your name. He is the champion, he is the winner in Your heart. You brought him to us to show us the way out. Like Moses, he raised his rod and said to the New World Order: Let my people go. Because You gave him authority, the water will be divided, just as You showed Ricci and me, the water will separate, and we will walk across the dry land. Because of what You said, the water will be divided. We are not afraid, we do not hesitate, we do not doubt, we do not have a lot of questions, we only have one question, are You our God? If You are, America will stand up.
We hope that this shaking will wake us up and turn us back. But if we are Your people, You are our God, and the church bows before You and prays, You will intervene, because this is Your promise, and we firmly believe that it is true, without wavering, without doubt. The righteous is blinded by many things, but You rescued us from them. Coronavirus is not the worst thing that has happened in this country. The worst is when we are cold to You. Even the church persecutes itself because of self-righteousness, but being unrighteous themselves. But even worse is that what we do to others will happen to ourselves, and if we are unjust to others, the injustice will return to us.
Lord, You are teaching Your church how to stand and why to stand. You are not a hidden teacher. You have been revealing Yourself and Your laws. No one can stand before Your words and tell You what to do. Although they may try to work with their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and uncles, with employers, employees, and friends, and think they can find a solution.
If the church is like this, then those evil people are even more so. God, my heart is full of grieves and pity, because You are God, You will not lie, You are the same yesterday, today and forever, and Your words will last forever. We cannot play games with You, we will suffer the consequences of our sins. If this is the case for the righteous, the one You love to cover day and night. What will happen to the wicked people who are trying to destroy the church? I have pity on these people, because hell is forever. Today they are laughing, but tomorrow we will laugh at our enemies. My heart is full of mercy for these ignorant people, who are full of pride, arrogance, deceit, darkness, hatred, jealousy, and anger. We may name many fleshly sins. Lord, You know well, there are some that we will never know, and may they repent while there is still time. But for those who refuse, that day is about to come. You will judge with justice, and their decisions will have eternal consequences. You can let their decisions be known, there is no exception. We are judged by our words and our actions. You stretch out Your compassionate hand, but if we refuse to repent and continue on our way, we will be justly judged for our sins.
Lord, I am not asking You to forgive anyone who commits a crime deliberately. Lord, I am asking You to open the veil, let them see what they are doing, give them a heart of wisdom, and let them see their end before You take them away. I also pray for the church, Lord, because churches are as bad as the wicked people we pray for in many cases. They don’t care about the harm they cause to people. They only care about one thing, that is, to walk their own way and implement their own will. You say: return, repent, return. They laughed at You as if You were not their God. They laugh at You, ignore You, and You can’t lead them on the path of eternal life.
My heart aches for Your church, the whole world is like this. You tell me that there is a very high percentage of such rebellion in the church. God, I don’t even remember. I think 90% of the people in Your church live in disobedience. My heart aches for their disobedience. If the church is like this, what about the people we are praying for? They hate Your authority, Your truth, and Your light, because they want to be bosses, and they don’t have the wisdom to understand what price they have to pay for rebellion.
Father, I know this is true, and I know it makes You sad. You wept for their souls, I stood before You, and I stood by You and watched You cry, even those who are already in hell, because they did not repent when they had the opportunity, You wept for them, You did not judge them, it was their words, their lives, their deception, and rebellion that judged them. Your heart is broken with pain, because these people will eventually have to go to hell. Although they got the votes, we know that You are a gracious and compassionate God. You will reach out and save anyone who is willing to repent, even those in the church. I’m so scared in my heart that the people in the church are so arrogant, these are children of the kingdom of God, who are so arrogant, so mean, completely contrary to You. They think they are very smart and they don’t understand what we do to others will return to us. This shocked me and scared me.
Give Your church wisdom and long for Your love, humility, servant’s heart, kindness, compassion, wisdom, knowledge, and smartness. Oh, God, this is Your heart, this is Your law, each of us nails Your hand to the cross, and every time we refuse to repent, the nail falls into Your hand again. May the church and those who are lost have a heart of wisdom. My Jesus, I love You, we love You, and we love You with all our heart and all our might.
Tonight, we pray that You will give the grace of Your holy spirit, to fill our hearts with love, escape from judgment, criticism, vengeance, because vengeance is Yours, not ours, and keep away from evil. Oh God, there is a trial that falls on the wicked, on the New World Order, on the Cabal, and they think it will never happen. They think they know, but they don’t know, because they have played the game with You for so long, they have lost their insight. They think that Your long suffering means that You cannot defeat them. In fact, when Your patience ceases, there will be a time when You have to take it back and let them suffer the justice they had been begging for.
You showed me that President Trump was on his own plane. He was very tired of injustice. He tried to fight. He thought: Now is the best time for me to do what I need to do for the American people. If they Don’t let me do it in the presidential position, I will do it here. He knows who is the president of his country, and he knows. The Democratic Party has no right to sit in their positions. They will have to pay the price because we all need to do this.
We cannot fight against God, nor can we keep our sins from being judged. Lord, You are a gracious God, but You are still the judge of the whole earth. Therefore, he (Trump) flew into the sky in his own jet plane, and he saw this very sickly, tall and long thing, half the size of the earth, rising high from the ground into the sky. It was really painful to see this in his eyes. He had to fly over it, not going in from the tail and coming out from the nose, no, he had to fly over it. This wall has grown and nurtured there for many years, just as it protects this vision that has existed for hundreds of years. But I saw him (Trump) speed up and pierce through the wall with the jet, with the fastest speed humanly possible.
Donald Trump did this because he knew that in that wall were the secrets of the new world order, their goals and plans, what they were going to do and how they would do it. He wanted to expose it to the American people. the last thing he did. He rushed the jet into the wall, and the light and the truth came out together. Who is criticizing him, who is wrongly judging him, who is representing him, none of these are important, the truth will prevail. You are the truth, and You will overcome all darkness, because this is who You are.
The American people will see the truth whether they like it or not. My hope is that those who You put Your hand upon, to support him and stand for the truth, they will not give up their rights, they will stand and transcend all lies. , Beyond all those who know and understand wisdom, they stand because the truth always wins. They will see God’s salvation, and this kingdom will show Your glory. You have told me for decades that we will manifest Your glory.
You gave us our Moses. It doesn’t matter whether we call him Moses, Cyrus, David, or Joseph. You created such an amazing person, Just like these people. You fill him with wisdom and strategy, You make his mind understand that he has the power and ability to lead the army, You have done it, and You are the God who provided him with grace and authority, let him do what You created him to do, no one can fight him and win.
Thank You, Father. You are our God. I know that You love America, and I watch You cry for America. You are our God. You love Your church, but You also love those who are ignorant. You want to save this country, because You love America, you died for righteousness to save America, how great and amazing You are. How great and wonderful You are, I said to that wall: fall, fall, fall! I command you to shred it into a million pieces, and I command you to surrender what you have hidden. If you are ordered to collapse by the Lord’s words, you cannot resist the Holy One, and you cannot say “no” to Him. Who can resist His will? Fall down.
Father God, thank You, nothing is greater than You. You are greater than everyone else, You have a plan and a goal, You will achieve it, and we will stand firm. Like Paul told us, we must do our best and hold on for a while, we will succeed, because Your words tell us to do this, we will do it without regret, because our God is the truth. We know that You don’t have to prove anything to us, we know who You are. We thank You for Your great love, thank You for Your kindness, thank You for Your long suffering, and thank You for Your faithfulness. You will do it again, thank You Lord. Pray In Your precious holy name. Amen

Editor’s Note: Pastor Yu-Hwa Lee: Preparation for the month of Nissan Moon
Information: Pastor Yu-Hwa Lee Date: March 12, 2021 Source: Chengxing Club
Editor’s Note : The following short video Preparation for Nissan was recorded by Pastor Lee Yuehua the leader of intercession in Taiwan for the month of Nissan (please click here ):. Nissan (March 14th to April 12th) this year is a very important month. The Holy Spirit moved Pastor Lee to revisit all the events of Nissan the first month of the year in the Bible. We also encourage all intercessors to prepare for the marching forward and enter the destiny that God has for us.
I find that month of Nissan is very important and there are many reminders. I want to send such an instant message to those in need as encouragement. This message is actually not for the New Moon, but the Holy Spirit reminded me last week that the first month of this year is very important because it is the first month of 5781, which means we once again come to a 1111 alignment, and then He reminds me,.to look at all the events of the first month in the Bible in a revelatory way, and to bring reminders in our lives.
The water on the ground is dry
Genesis 8:13 in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
First we see the first Genesis 8:13 talked about is the beginning of the day, the waters were dried up, and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and saw the face of the ground was dry.
So I encourage you to start the first day of the first month on the evening of March 13th. I don’t know if you have experienced a flood in your life last year? Or were you pregnant with something in your life? But now the land is about to dry, you have to remove the top of your ark to watch, You can think about Noah at that time, seeing that the ground is drying up, and the time to leave the ark is almost here. So how do you get out of the Ark? I think it is very necessary to have some good planning. What kind of animal is going out first? the ants ? Or should the lion and tiger go out first? Or should the tortoise go out first? Do you understand what I mean? In other words, there is a seasonal transition coming, but now is the time for you to remove your top cover and watch, and it is also the time when you want to start planning the next phase.
Set up the tabernacle
Exodus 40:2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation
In the name of the Lord, I would like to bless every brother and sister among us to re-establish your tent. You know that four pillars are needed to erect a tabernacle, so ask God to help us, our will, our character, to willing to rise, and have a new beginning, to support this tabernacle, because the Lord is setting tabernacle among us. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I bless our brothers and sisters on the first day of the first month. God once again set up His tent in our personal lives and in our families. May you become God’s dwelling place.
After we saw God set up the tent, what was the first instrument He set up? It is the ark of the covenant. The ark represents the presence of God. Then after we saw that the ark was established, then the veil was raised. The presence of God and the throne of God are actually the secret place in your life and your priority in the order of setting up. Then we saw You set up showbread and the golden lampstand, and then the golden incense burner, the brass altar, and the washing basin. So ask God to help us first establish the throne of God’s presence, then God’s word, and then God’s Spirit.
Today’s sharing is not a sermon, but a reminder in your life through some events that happened in the first month. There are some revelations, and you must meditate before God alone.
Miriam is dead, the old worship is dead
Number 20:1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there..
During the first month, Miriam died, and your old worship died. In this season, we announce the end of your old worship, ask God to help us, renew and change our minds, we can come to worship the Lord with spirit and truth.
Rebuild the temple-rebuild the altar
2 Chronicles 29:3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
This is the time to rebuild the temple. In 2 Chronicles 29:3, said that in the first month of the first year, the door of the temple of the Lord was opened and repaired. Therefore, in the name of the Lord, I would like to bless my brothers and sisters to rebuild your temple. Your body is the temple of God. Bless your health in the name of the Lord. You have to start to take care of your health, and begin to examine your relationship with the Lord, we will see through this and future passage. In the month of Nissan many relates to cleansing. As mentioned in 2 Chronicles, after cleaning the temple, they rebuilt the altar and offered burnt offerings. So, ask God to help us rebuild the altar again at the beginning of the first month.
Break away- Remove the leaven to prepare
Ezek 45:18 Thus saith the Lord God; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary.
2 Chronicles 29:17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Next we see Ezekiel 45 18 and Chronicles chapter 29 17, it took 16 days to completely clean the temple. So I encourage you to start preparing to remove the leaven. You should clean your personal life, and your home. It took me nearly four months to organize my home, and I was downsizing. So far, I’m still throwing things away. I cleaned out the old furniture and replaced it with lighter and more compact furniture, which made the living room space larger, so that I can have a better space to come closer to God. I took all the books out of the box. I found that in such a process of getting rid of things, it seemed like my life also had a brand new reformation. Therefore, I also encourage you on March 27th, which is when we are about to enter the Passover. Before that, the Jews will look for the leaven at home, and then clear it away. Therefore, I also encourage you to completely remove the leaven. For example, remove the mold in your house, and come before God to see if there is any old leaven, religious leaven, and political leaven in our lives and remove them.
Divorced Strange Wife
Ezra 10:17 And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
We see what Ezra says: And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month, and then they divorced their wives. I think some of the brothers and sisters reading this message, very likely that your spouse has not yet believed in the Lord, but I am not asking you to divorce your wife or husband. What I am talking about here is, what kind of relationship keeps you away from God? You have to “divorice it” completely. In this season, we need to see what kind of soul ties we have that keep us away from God, we must completely disconnect them in the name of the Lord. I encourage brothers and sisters here. In this season, to thoroughly examine the Amalekites in our flesh, we also ask the Lord to help us to remove the “Gentile women” in our lives.
Don’t Rely on Egypt
Eze. 29:17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying.
In Ezekiel chapter 29, verse 17, it says: The word of the Lord has come to me, saying He mentioned that God will judge Egypt, then King Nebuchadnezzar will prevail, and Egypt will become his prey. In fact, before you look at this, God meant that Israel should not rely on Egypt. So I want to remind all of us here, ask God to enlighten us, do we rely on gifts and power other than God? But I declare in the name of the Lord that I do not rely on power or gifts, but on the Spirit of Jehovah.
Prepare your Fast
Dan 10:4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
It is mentioned in the Daniel 10:4 : On the 24th of the first month, I was by the Hiddekel River. What did he see by the river? He saw Michael appear to him and talked about the 21-day battle, he had defeated the demon kings of Persia and Greece. Therefore, I encourage you to prepare for fasting in months like this. Maybe you can fast for 21 days like Daniel did. You can see that he fought for 21 days before the archangel appeared to him. It can be seen that he only started fasting on the 3rd of the first month. I don’t know what kind of fasting you want to choose, but I want to bless you in the name of the Lord. In your fasting, you can overcome the power that will attack you in the future, so that you can enter into your destiny. We see that Daniel is living in Persia, but you see the demon king of Greece attacking him, so you will find that the future enemy is hindering us from moving forward and entering into our destiny. I encourage you to prepare for fasting this month.
Position Yourself
I Chronicles 27:2 Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.,
We have also seen it mentioned in 1 Chronicles 27:2 : Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. So ask God to bless you. It is the first class. You have registered, and positioned for the first class. So ask God to help us, in the first month we can find where we should stand in the new season.
Preparing for Passover- March 27
Lev 23:5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord’s passover.
Finally, we have to prepare for the Passover. Sunset of March 27 is Passover, when the army of the Lord will set out. Chuck Pierce once mentioned that these 10 years are the festivals that are constantly being passed over. Ask God to help us to overcome our personal wounds and overcome our fear of the future, so that we can enter a time cycle of victory and rise, because we know that after the Passover, it is Seventy-seven 49, counting of the Omer, and then enter Pentecost. Therefore, pray for God to help us, from Passover to Pentecost, we continue to ascend, I bless every brother and sister in the name of Jesus Christ to have a higher alignment and a greater leap in life, you enter from the lamb, walk out of your Nissan moon like a lion.

Editor’s Note: David Peng: The Exodus of the People from Egypt: The fourth wave of Aliyah Will Begin
The fourth wave of Aliyah is about to be birthed with the labor of the prayer movement!
Information: David Peng Date: March 18, 2021 Source: Kingdom Alive
Editor’s Note : This article “The Exodus of the Peoples from Egypt, follows Rev. Peng ‘s latest series of The Key Seven Years of The Global Revival: 2017 to 2024“ .
In the series of ” The Key Seven Years of The Global Revival: 2017 to 2024″ series I mentioned in 2024 Passover, a total eclipse will happen again in the United States intersects with the line of the 2017 total eclipse in the city of “Little Egypt “ in southern Illinois. This place is the longest time of eclipse in 2017, where sun, earth, and moon are fully aligned. It is by the Mississippi River, where many ancient wells and roots are located (please click here ).
The most important sense I had is, when the day the sins of men are full, God will respond to the cry of God’s remnant people and personally intervene to save His people. So, in Exodus 12:1-2 , And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. No matter what is the time in Egypt, how long the people of Israel have been enslaved, and no matter how common worshipping the idols is, how deep the darkness and corruption are, when God intervenes, it is a new season, it is the first month. This is also the moment we are now. Not only during Nissan, we also saw sin accumulate at an unbelievable rate. Intercessors all over the world are aware that the hand of God is about to stretch out, and are deeply moved like Simeon praying, as if we are about to see the Lord Jesus return in our lifetime!
When Pharaoh saw that his eldest son was dead, although his son will die one day, at this time Pharaoh can no longer persist in keeping Israel from being released. Then the perfect sinless Jesus, the only beloved son of Abba Father is dead, what greater release will bring God’s people out from the shackles of darkness!
God led me to explore “Little Egypt ” not only because it relates to the revival of the United States, but it also directly affects the revival of the world, because the United States is the only country other than Israel that has a covenant with the Lord, but God also remembered the sacrifices and offerings of many Christians made in the past. Also this country is still the one the world is vying to imitate, and the leader other countries look forward to, so the battle is also particularly fierce. The revival of the United States is definitely not just about the United States. God has led Israel out of Egypt, and God will also lead the nations of the world out of Egypt, there is no respect of persons with God.! As pointed out in Romans 2:9-11 , God’s salvation strategy and The order is general: Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God.
In other words, if we are committed to removing the evil roots left by the past land and history of the United States, we want to see the revival of the United States, but also the revival of the world. One of the most important signs is to see all nations aligned with Israel, and we will also see the greatest and the last Aliyah to Israel!
American intercessor Rick Ridings, has been praying and watching in Jerusalem for more than 20 years, shared on YouTube on March 18 (video please click here ) “Praying for a New Wave of Aliyah “ , it deeply grabbed my heart. From his sharing, I saw a very important reminder and declaration for this Passover. And how we should pray earnestly during the next three years until 2024,! Ridings shared key excerpts provide references for intercessors around the world, and to pray together!
In this short 14-minute sharing, Pastor Ridings mentioned that there are at least 700 records in the Bible that the Israelites will be resurrected like dry bones after the nations are scattered. Not only can Israel be rebuilt, but the Israelites will return to Israel. He found that several major Aliyah in history all occurred after intensive intercession movements. They were definitely not random or by chance, but a clear-cut effort, just like Jesus praying earnestly in the Garden of Gethsemane. With such a struggle, even angels appeared to strengthen Jesus, as he sweat drops of blood and giving His life..
“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.. (Luke 22:42-44)
When Intercessors followed Jesus’ earnest prayers, there were three very obvious Aliyah in history. The following are the findings of Pastor Ridings:
The First Aliyah
The first Aliyah took place between 1881-1941 . The main intercessor was the famous Horatio Spafford, the writer of the song “It is well with my soul”. Many people were comforted and regained in their sorrow and pain because of his experience and faith in the Lord; but few people knew that Horatio Spaverd suffered great loss in the Chicago fire of 1871, in 1873, the boat his wife and four young children took to return to the British sanctuary was hit by another boat and sank. The four children were buried in the sea overnight. After these misfortunes, he and his wife gave birth to three more children. But the youngest son (also named Horatio Spaverd), unfortunately, died of diphtheria in 1881 at age 4. When he was burying his youngest son in extreme sadness, some people in the church even suggested that he give his other two daughters up for adoption, because they suspected Horatio Spaverd must have
ffended God, for the misfortune to happen over and over again. This incident prompted Horatio Spaverd and his family to leave the United States and move to Jerusalem, because in order to understand the heart of Jesus, he had to experience the suffering of Jesus, he received God’s revelation to set up a Bible study group, and began to pray for the Israelites to return to Jerusalem. He not only did not get a response from others, but was even ridiculed by them, because there was no sign of re-establishment of Israel. Horatio Spaford not only moved his family to Jerusalem in 1881, but also established the American Colony in the poorer east of the city (pictured on the right) because they were able to return to Israel and give birth to the next generation in Jerusalem. Therefore, in addition to continuing to pray for Aliyah they also prepared in advance for the needs of the returning Israelites. They started the “Soup Kitchen ” to provide food, but also built hospitals and orphanages (for details, please visit this website ) [ Note 1 ]
Amazingly, God really raised up the first group of Israelis to return. Between 1881-1903 from Yemen and Eastern Europe there were 25,000 to 35,000 Israelis who returned ( First Aliyah-Wikipedia ), all of them came from lack and poverty, even the local Jews in Palestine would not accept them. Horatio Spaverd’s ministry established by receiving revelation from God has become a great help and blessing for this group of Israelis who returned mainly from Yemen for the first time!
The second return of the Israelites
Pastor Riding shared the second Aliyah occurred between 1948 and 1951 . The main intercessor behind the scenes was Reese Howells, who led a hundred students of the College of Wales to pray for prayers in 1900-1950. The detailed story can be seen in Pray for the Apostle Howell. Reese Howells was reborn and repented during the Welsh Revival [Note 2] .
When the great revival took place, the Holy Spirit inspired him to break through with intercession, so that the flames of revival can also extend to other nearby villages that have not yet shown signs of revival. As a result, the revival really entered the neighboring villages. Then, God moved him again. In 1900, we entered deep intercession for South Africa, and as a result, we also saw the revival of South Africa. During the Second World War, the Holy Spirit urged them to concentrate and pray earnestly to stop the progress of the Nazis, and asked the Lord to release Europe, especially the Israelis, to be free; as a result, we not only saw the defeat of the German Nazis, but also Israel’s subjugation. The country was restored to the same place almost after 1900. At the same time, about 2.5 million Israelis returned to the Promised Land between 1948 and 1952. This was the second large-scale of Aliyah. [ Note 3 ]
The Third Aliyah
The third Aliyah took place between 1989 and 1990, the year when the Berlin Wall fell. At that time, the Soviet Union was also disintegrated. The iron curtain of communism was unexpectedly opened 50 years after World War II. Millions of Israelis were able to return to Israel from the Soviet Union. This is by no means accidental. The main intercessor leaders include Shelley Schaberg, Gustav Scheller and Roland Smith. They continued to hold prayer gatherings in the Soviet Union, East Germany and Germany, confessing their sins and repenting for the evil deeds committed by the German Nazis, and confessing their sins and washing their feet for all the Israelis trapped in the Soviet Union. For details, please see the picture on the right: Action in Egypt: Exodus Operation: Prophecy being fulfilled.
Gustav Scherer held a special intercession meeting with 120 intercessors from the nations in Jerusalem in 1991. The Holy Spirit moved him to declare that now is the time for the Israelites to return from the disintegrated Soviet Union! Because the “Gulf War” was taking place at the time , people did not think that this was the right time, and it even sounded It’s very stupid and aggressive. However, when they checked further, God gave them 1 John 4:6 to confirm this. Sure enough, from 1989 to 2006, more than 1.6 million Israelis returned to their native Jerusalem from the collapsed Iron Curtain! [ Note 4 ]
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. (1 John 4:6)
The Fourth Aliyah
The intercession leader Riding, the House of Prayer on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, was greatly moved by the Holy Spirit to share on Youtube: The fourth Aliyah may be the most critical one, the Isralies that stayed in the United States for a long time. The Israelis in Britain, Latin America, and Europe will finally return to Israel due to drastic economic and political changes. He specifically mentioned a vision: God raised up a rainbow bridge for them to lead them home. The Aliyah to Israelites needs Christians in Asia, Korea, China, and Indonesia to pray like Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, [ Note 5 ] it is like the fiery passion of Christians in Uganda, Africa.
One year after the closure of the global epidemic, God is rapidly deploying and moving intercessors from all over the world to pray for the last Aliyah. I deeply believe that the return of the Jews from the United States is directly connected with the great revival of the United States. May God raise up intercessors from all over the world to work together, and the Holy Spirit will greatly pour out on us and strengthen us so that the Lord’s will can be fulfilled! Amen!

Pray for United States: Restoring a Bible-based Educational System
Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from the 3/20 prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” from Dutch Sheets, the intercession leader. “I invite you to join me every day and pray for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily “Give Him 15 Minutes”, comment, and then we will pray together. When we “petition to heaven” for the United States, you can join us here.
【Background: God belongs in our schools. In fact, He is desperately needed there. When America was founded, there was no question in our Founders’ minds whether or not children’s education would include the scriptures. The Bible was seen as a textbook and children were expected to know foundational passages. Society at the time fully recognized there were many topics covered in the Bible that were essential knowledge for life, such as ethics, government, and law. Children were commonly taught to read using the Bible.
Dr. Benjamin Rush was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was also considered the “Father of Public Schools Under the Constitution”1. Here is a portion of a letter he wrote:
“Dear Sir:
“It is now several months since I promised to give you my reasons for preferring the Bible as a schoolbook to all other compositions. Before I state my arguments, I shall assume the five following propositions:
- That Christianity is the only true and perfect religion; and that in proportion as mankind adopts its principles and obeys its precepts they will be wise and happy.
- That a better knowledge of this religion is to be acquired by reading the Bible than in any other way.
- That the Bible contains more knowledge necessary to man in his present state than any other book in the world.
- That knowledge is most durable, and religious instruction most useful, when imparted in early life.
- That the Bible, when not read in schools, is seldom read in any subsequent period of life.
“My arguments in favor of the use of the Bible as a schoolbook are founded, [first] in the constitution of the human mind:
- The memory is the first faculty which opens in the minds of children. Of how much consequence, then, must it be to impress it with the great truths of Christianity, before it is preoccupied with less interesting subjects.
- There is a peculiar aptitude in the minds of children for religious knowledge. I have constantly found them, in the first six or seven years of their lives, more inquisitive upon religious subjects than upon any others. . .It would be strange if it were otherwise, for God creates all His means to suit His ends.
- The influence of early impressions is very great upon subsequent life. . . I believe no man was ever early instructed in the truths of the Bible without having been made wiser or better by the early operation of these impressions upon his mind.
- We are subject, by a general law of our natures, to what is called habit. Now, if the study of the Scriptures be necessary to our happiness at any time of our life, the sooner we begin to read them, the more we shall probably be attached to them.” 2
Imagine if school boards today thought like Dr. Rush.
Today we are told our Founders were not believers, and desired religion to be separate from civil society, including in public education. That was obviously not the case. Today, we find ourselves in a consistent battle over allowing Christian students to live out their faith in public schools. There was a time, however, when Christianity, the Bible, and education were intertwined. So much value was attributed to a study of the Bible, it would have seemed ridiculous to separate the study of God’s Word from the education of our young.
Noah Webster was a great statesman and penned a well-known dictionary carrying his name. He wrote:
“Education is useless without the Bible. The Bible was America’s basic text book in all fields. God’s Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary rules to direct our conduct.”3
Additionally, Mr. Webster fully attributed American greatness – and the continuation of it – as being founded on an education in Christianity and the word of God:
“Every civil government is based upon some religion or philosophy of life. Education in a nation will propagate the religion of that nation. In America, the foundational religion was Christianity. And it was sown in the hearts of Americans through the home and private and public schools for centuries. Our liberty, growth, and prosperity was the result of a Biblical philosophy of life. Our continued freedom and success is dependent on our educating the youth of America in the principles of Christianity.”4
President John Quincy Adams gave the following advice to his son regarding his education, “I advise you, my son, in whatever you read, and most of all in reading the Bible, to remember that it is for the purpose of making you wiser and more virtuous. I have myself, for many years, made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year. I have always endeavored to read it with the same spirit and temper of mind, which I now recommend to you: that is, with the intention and desire that it may contribute to my advancement in wisdom and virtue.”5
Governeur Morris (of New York) wrote the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. He felt strongly that any education of our young should include teaching on God. Morris wrote, “Religion is the only solid basis of good morals; therefore education should teach the precepts of religion and the duties of man toward God.”6
All of these Founders, and many others, saw the Bible as foundational in providing the character men and women needed for building strong lives and a strong nation. We flounder as a country in some of these areas today because we do not follow the standard of education we started out with – God’s word. It is our history and heritage; as such, it must be recaptured and preserved.

Pray For Israel: The Sixth Week of the 40-day Election Watch: David – The Servant of God Reigns
【Editor’s Note: On Tuesday, 3/23, Israel will usher in the 24th parliamentary election, which is the fourth time in the past two years. As a cabinet country, the prime minister and cabinet government of the country’s actual most advanced leader will also come forth. Compared with the global attention and epic spiritual warfare triggered by the US election on November 3 last year, Israel’s election does not seem to have received as much attention as the United States election. However, in the eyes of God who is in control of the kingdom of man, Israel is the head of the nations ( Amos 6:1 ) and is also known as the center of the world. (Ezekiel 38:12 )
In the past two years in Israel:
- In April 2019, in the 21st parliamentary election, Likud won a majority of seats, but the party leader Natanyahu failed to form a cabinet, and the parliament was subsequently dissolved.
- In September 2019, after the 22nd parliamentary election, President Rivlin successively authorized Natanyahu and Gantz (Blue and White) to form a cabinet, but they all ended in failure.
- In March 2020, the 23rd parliamentary election. As of May, in order to guide Israel through the new coronavirus epidemic and the economic crisis, Gantz, the leader of the blue and white party, who won the seat at the time, gave up joining the anti-Netanyahu camp and agreed to form a rotating coalition government with Natanyahu. However, seven months later, the coalition government’s budget was not passed on schedule, and the 23rd parliament was automatically dissolved at midnight on December 22.
- On March 23, 2021, the 24th parliamentary election will be held.
For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. (Haggai 2:6-7)
Although on the surface, the past three general elections were either difficult to produce a cabinet or the coalition government only lasted for a short period of seven months. But we are well aware that this is just the pain before childbirth, and God wants to give birth to new things. Lord, the God of Israel, You are shaking. In the shaking, You will bring the Messiah envied by all nations and return to His brethren, people of Israel. In the shaking, You will make the spirit of the Messiah dwell in the heart of the people of Israel, let the glory of the last temple be greater than before; in the shaking, You bring out the manifestation of the Messianic kingdom in Israel, so that Israel can truly become the light of the nations.
ust before this election, a dramatic episode occurred in the international political landscape, which may become a blessing in disguise for Israel’s international status. Since November last year, the U.S. election has been turbulent. On January 20 there was a change in the white house, and the relationship between Israel and the United States has been reversed sharply. The military threats from the number one enemy Iran and its proxies around Israel are increasing day by day, and the war is getting tighter. Yes, at present Trump can no longer benefit Israel. The new US government is trying to drag Israel back to the negotiating table with the Palestinians and the “two-state solution.” But God! The God who reigns in the kingdom of man is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Covenant keeping God and the Captain of the Lord of Hosts, the Holy One of Israel. He will be able to work all things together for the good for Israel called by God’s name. Just look to the one and only true God for help.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. (Psalm 108:12b-13)
What is intriguing is that this election day 3/23 falls on the 10th of Nissan in the Jewish calendar. In Exodus 12:3 , God’s word commanded, “Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house.” It’s true that Israel’s redeemer does not lie in any political figure, but is this a sign given to us by the creator of history: After this election, the whole family of Israel will receive the salvation of the Lamb of God . Two thousand years ago, the Lord Jesus came to the world incarnate and died on a cross outside Jerusalem as an eternal sin offering.
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)

Critical Event: New Cycle and Rebuild
【Current Events: As the epidemic weakens, all countries are gradually returning to normal work and life, which is generally referred to as “post-epidemic reconstruction.” If you search online, You will see that there are always discussions about rebuilding the economy and society. After the epidemic, the world’s GDP has shrunk by about 5%. The Davos Forum discusses the establishment of a new economy in the era of the epidemic. Discussing how to rebuild the global economy more equitably and an inclusive future, etc. It seems that all the countries care about economic recovery and growth.
In fact, God’s will is for us to put God’s kingdom first, followed by earth resources (government), and third, economic and financial blessings. But we completely reversed the order. Because we did not believe in God’s provision, we even drove God out of all the mountains of influence and cut off the connection with Him. Power, money, etc. became our idols. All countries’ pursuit of economic development, national strength, and military strength are all based on material standards. Without the fear of God, comes the chaos, conflict, and violence of today. This is a completely earthly and carnal system based on Mammon. It can also be said to be a system of slavery in Egypt. It runs counter to the kingdom of God and the call of God.
The Time of Rebuilding
This year’s Passover began on the sunset of March 27, which is the 15th day of Nissan. Nissan is the first month, which represents the beginning of a new cycle, and gradually becomes abundant. God wants us to put Him first and be our head, give Him the most important position in our hearts, and allow Him to dominate our individuals, families, and countries-with Jehovah as God is blessed! Blessed is the people whom He has chosen as His inheritance. ( Ps 33:12 ) After this epidemic, we will receive Passover salvation from God, and then He will remove our sins so that all things will be resurrected and reborn. No longer in the old way, but in the form of a new birth (Romans 6:4b ), He wants us to be born again in Christ Jesus, rebuild every nation, and a new world free from Egyptian slavery, from mammon worship, and from wrong social order.
