Editor’s note: This excerpt is one of two dreams Yvonne Atiyah posted in the December “Finale” of Elijah’s List. (You can read the full article here ).

Dream of a Snake – The Lord Will Crush Skulls in This Season

On November 24, the day after Thanksgiving， I had this dream. In the dream, I saw a huge snake wrapped around a person’s feet. The person could see the snake. The person grabbed a sword and tried to cut the snake in half, but then realized that the head needed to be cut off. So the person left the sword, grabbed a hammer and smashed the snake on the head. As soon as the head was smashed, victory came.

Message: Lily Acherman Date: December 23, 2023

God promised to give Abram a son and give his descendants the land of Canaan as an inheritance. This was God’s call and destiny for Abraham.

In this calling and destiny, the son is crucial. Without his own son, Abraham’s call as the father of many nations could not be established, nor could his descendants’ destiny to inherit the land of Canaan be established!

Declaration Prayer: Declaration of the Month of Tevet

Editor’s Note: Tevet– the tenth month in the Jewish calendar, the fourth month in the year 5784 in the civil calendar, corresponding to December 13, 2023 to January 10, 2024 in the Western calendar.

Declare in the name of Jesus :

We are priests and kings, called to rule and reign with the Lord Jesus.

We choose to deal with my flesh and immaturity and choose to walk in alignment with God.

The Holy Spirit is leading to be alert and focused on God, stay aligned with the Lord, and help break the enemy’s siege against us.

We must offer ourselves as living sacrifices every day, live for Him, and receive the full anointing of the Holy Spirit.

God will open our spiritual eyes so that we can see that there is something greater within us than the world.

We must pray for the principalities and authorities above and help them walk in the will of God.

The Holy Spirit will help us examine ourselves and enable us to understand and advance the new training and equipment we should receive.

God is helping us mature so we can deal with anger and other lingering issues.

God is lifting us up so that we can walk higher in Him.

God makes our feet as swift as the hooves of a deer, and makes me secure on high places.

Whenever we confess our sins, the blood of Jesus cleanses us and our genes and we are healed.

(Adapted from Rongsakati’s Tevet: Blessings for the Hebrew Month)

Declaration Prayer: 12 Prophetic Decrees for Israel

Editor’s note : This article is an excerpt from a prophetic pronouncement delivered by Robin Bullock during his Elijiah List ministry trip to Israel in April/May of this year (adapted from Translation of Etz Chaim), it is recommended that the intercessor can also follow up the declaration to release God’s heart.

We decree, by the Blood of Yeshua:

Psalm 91 – that Michael, with his angel army, is protecting Prime Minister Netanyahu and those who stand with him spiritually, emotionally and physically.
We declare and decree peace over Jerusalem now! Israel is forever!
We decree that the people will see angels on the four corners of this nation, and the enemy will know there are more with Israel than with them, and they will be afraid of the Lord God Almighty who fights and wins for Israel.
We declare and decree that the enemy will hear angel hosts who are marching right now to help Israel, and the weather will fight for them [Israel].
We declare that every bird of prey that is launched from the caves and underground will burst into flames and stop. We call every bird of prey that would attack Israel to fall from the sky and for guidance systems to fail.
We decree that the enemy will babble with confusion and their communications will fail.
We decree: Russia, back up, stay away, for the Lord fights for Israel. China, you are not who you think you are. Dragon eyes, leave Israel alone!
We declare that the beast from the east will not rise and will not prevail. It will not last.
We decree, over the land of Israel, that the bows of the mighty men are broken, and anyone who stands to annihilate the Jewish state will not prevail; for surely the Lord our God is in this place.
We decree to the beast from the east that you will stop where you are, for you will not prevail here – and that lands and nations will be reformed and reshaped because Israel will take more territory.
We decree that where there is no Samson and no David – Lord, stretch forth Your hand and let the fire of Elijah fall, because there is faith today in the prayers of the people for Israel.
We decree, where there has been a curse – we speak the Blood of Yeshua and declare mercy and a revival to protect and deliver the land of Israel and its people at this time

Pray for America: Finding America’s Old Road

Editor’s note: This article is excerpted from the prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” on 12/12 by prayer leader Dutch Sheets . “I invite you to join me every day in praying for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily Give Him 15 Minutes, give your comments, and then we will pray together. As we pray for America You can join us here. ” – Dutch Sheets

【 Current Event/Background: The great Winston Churchill seemed to have a prophetic sense regarding his destiny from a young age, though he would not likely have referred to it as prophetic. At 16 years of age, he told a friend, “I have dreams about it, seeing into the future.” Though he acknowledged that the dreams were “blurry,” he nonetheless insisted, “This country will be subjected somehow, to a tremendous invasion, by what means I do not know, but I tell you I shall be in command of the defenses of London, and I shall save London and England from disaster.” No doubt orchestrated by God’s sovereign hand, Churchill would, indeed, fulfill those words. Amazing! …Detailed Reading】

Jeremiah 6:16 This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
Acts 17:26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
Esther 4:14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

【Prayer】

Visit America’s Ancient Paths: Heavenly Father, You are leading America back to the Ancient Paths ( Jeremiah 6:16), rediscovering America’s foundation and destiny, and breaking down the strongholds of false ideology and evil. Just as Churchill was called from his mother’s womb to uphold freedom and Christian ideals around the world, America was founded for this moment ( Esther 4:14 ), and the coming shock is precisely to prompt America to return to this destiny. We pray according to Your will without flinching, being distracted, or wavering. We will see the comprehensive revival that You promised, and Your redemption will bring about changes in the United States and countries around the world!
In the name of Jesus Christ, we declare:
- The wind of the Holy Spirit will blow upon the dry bones of America.
- Marxism and all kinds of heretical ideas must not defeat God’s purpose for America.
- Every stronghold of deceit on American soil must be torn down.
- The spirit of revelation that brings conviction and truth will be poured out across America.
- U.S. government agencies will operate according to God’s will and biblical principles.
- God will place God-fearing men into the judicial system, restoring righteous judges as in the beginning.
- America must return to its destiny and fulfill God’s call for America!

In the name of Jesus, Amen!

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. The following prayers are from the 24 prayers in “Elijah’s List”，which was reposted from the prophet Charlie Shamp’s facebook. We encourage all intercessors to pray for the United States under the leadership of Holy Spirit.

Heavenly Father, we come before You, seeking Your protection over America. In Psalm 91:4, You promise to cover us with Your feathers and provide refuge under Your wings. Shield our nation from all forms of terrorism and keep us safe from harm.

Pray for Israel: Pray for “Operation Swords of Iron” in the Israel-Hamas War [Updated]

Editor’s note : This article is an excerpt from the “December 22 Prayer Focus” weekly published by “Intercessors for Israel” for your reference.

In “Operation Swords of Iron,” Israel’s war against Hamas, the IDF is battling through the south of Gaza. The US Biden Administration has strongly hinted to Israel that it has only a limited time to end the war, and has told it to change its tactics and be more careful to protect Gazan civilians. As the US supplies Israel with munitions and weapons, and provides diplomatic protection, especially at the UN, many Israelis see this as manipulation bordering on blackmail. Yet so far, the war cabinet is backing the IDF to finish the job of destroying Hamas and freeing Israel’s hostages.

Pray for Israel: Prayer Guide Against Anti-Semitism

Editor’s note : This article was published in Prayer for America and was adapted from the electronic publication of Rabbi Jonathan Bernis’s Jewish Voice ministry (March 6, 2015) , for the reference of all intercessors .

The atrocities committed by Hamas and various terrorist allies against the nation of Israel on Oct. 7 seem to be a plumb line or watershed 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.

Pray for Israel: Prayer Points from the Jerusalem House of Prayer for Nations

Editor’s Note: This article is excerpted from the “Prayer Points” of December 8th, published by “Intercessors for Israel” for references.

“Operation Swords of Iron” is the name for Israel’s war against Hamas. After a week’s pause to exchange Palestinians terrorists for Israeli civilian hostages, the actual combat restarted a week ago after Hamas fired dozens of rockets into Israel. The fighting has intensified and Israel, at the time of the writing of this alert, is pressing forward towards its goal of eradicating Hamas from Gaza.

Critical Event: Understanding the Last Days

Editor’s note:This article is excerpted from Dan Juster, one of the founders of the “Tikkun Global” ministry’s video (click here to watch the video). Dan Juster briefly described the events that must take place before the return of the Lord, including the unity of the church and the World Revival ( John 17:20-23; Ephesians 4:11-13), completion of the Great Commission (Matthew 24:14 ), Israel provoked to jealousy and calling on the name of the Lord (Romans 11:14-15, 25-26), the return of Yeshua and the world-wide redemption (Matthew 23:39; Acts 3:20-21). In this brief sharing, he gave us more insight and encouraged us to pray Psalm 83 together at this time. We want EVIL HELD BACK and His REDEMPTIVE plans fulfilled!

【Current events/background: I would like to share some Bible verses today, as well as some basic missions about “Tikkun Global”, and put those two together to look at the war we’re processing through and our basic understanding of war and the last days. …Detailed Reading 】

John 17:22-23 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Romans 11:11 I say, do they stumble so that they fall? Absolutely not. On the contrary, because of their fault, salvation has come to the Gentiles to stir them up to indignation.
Matthew 23:39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”
Acts 3:21 Heaven will withhold him until the restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since the foundation of the world.

【Prayer】

Heavenly Father, thank You for once again making us understand what is going to happen in the last days. You are the Almighty God who does all things according to your will, and everything is running according to your will. We agree with You and declare in the name of Jesus Christ,

The walls that separate sects are falling down, and the churches will unite in the faith.
The spirit of unity is moving in the body of Christ, and the churches are united in Jesus Christ, praying together for revival.
The fire of revival is burning everywhere, and an unprecedented revival is coming to the entire earth.
The gospel of the kingdom of heaven will be preached throughout the world and will be a witness to all nations.
God will pour out a spirit of grace and supplication, and salvation will come to all Israel.
Israel will cry out for the return of Messiah Jesus Christ.
God’s plan of redemption must be carried out on earth as it is in heaven.

In the name of Jesus, amen!

Pray for Native Americans: First Nation People Rise Up to Spread the Gospel

【Current Affairs: The late evangelist Billy Graham once said to evangelical Aboriginals in 1975,” These words are not only spoken to Native Americans, but are also prophesied to Native Americans around the world – Native Americans will become extremely powerful Evangelists, leading people to Jesus. As evangelical Indians, you are the sleeping giant. You are awakening now. You are the Native Americans and when you turn around, you will become Evangelists, win other Americans to Christ.“ …Detailed Reading 】

Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise and shine! Because your light has come! The glory of the Lord shines upon you. Behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness covers the peoples, but the Lord will appear and shine upon you; his glory will be upon you.
Isaiah 61:3,10 Give to those who mourn in Zion a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness , planted by the LORD that he might be glorified. ”
Psalm 24:9 Lift up your heads, you gates! Eternal portal, you must raise your heads! The King of Glory is coming in!

【Prayer】

Aboriginal People are Rising up to Spread the Gospel: Heavenly Father, we agree with Graham’s prophecy about the aboriginal people. The aboriginal people are rising up and will become powerful evangelists. Please bless the upcoming DreamWorks Christmas event, prepare the hearts of the attendees, and anoint Xiu Mei and Pastor Ban to change the spiritual atmosphere of the venue through the explosive sounds they release. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully in the meeting place, touching people’s hearts and allowing the seeds of the gospel to fall on good soil. It also opened up the people present to see the preciousness of the aboriginal people, and to have a deeper understanding and respect for the aboriginal culture. It also demolished the wall that separated the original and Han people, so that all ethnic groups can have better integration and connection, and bless each other.
In the Name of Jesus Christ We Declare:
- Now is the time for Aboriginal people to rise and shine.
- The native people will awaken and understand the calling and destiny of the earthly firstborn.
- The aboriginal people should enter each mountain top, be the first and not the last, and be at the top and not at the bottom.
- Governments and non-Indigenous people will understand the calling and destiny of Indigenous peoples.
- Aboriginal people are the key to revitalization and will lead to reconciliation and breakthroughs between ethnic groups.
- The indigenous people will rise up in full force and become powerful evangelists!

In the name of Christ Jesus, Amen!

Editorial Special Section: Cindy Jacobs: Shield Up! Credible Threats for the Holidays!

Message: Cindy Jacobs Date: December 15, 2023 Source: Kingdom Prayer Network

This week, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a heightened security alert for the holidays. Fox News reported, “Per an assessment from the FBI and DHS, ongoing tensions related to the conflict between Israel and Hamas ‘likely heighten the threat of lone actor violence targeting large public gatherings throughout the winter, including holiday-related, faith-based, New Year’s Eve, and First Amendment protected events related to the conflict.’

“The bureau says these targets are likely to remain ‘attractive to lone actors inspired by a range of ideologies due to their accessibility and symbolic nature.'”

Fox goes on to report on increases of “hoax bomb and active shooter threats targeting synagogues across the United States.” The FBI said, “We therefore urge everyone to remain vigilant and to report any threats of violence or suspicious activity to law enforcement.”

We will do more than that! We will watch, report, and PRAY!

Just this morning IEDs were found in Mexico, just across the U.S. southern border with that nation. This put all border patrol agents there on heightened alert. There is an ongoing concern with the large number of immigrants crossing the border – up to 10,000 a day. Might any of them, or those involved in the cartels in northern Mexico, bring weapons like these over the border? It does happen, and that is a growing, serious concern.

This is not just happening in America! The Daily Mail reported yesterday of the many foiled Hamas plots to attack Jews in Europe. Their plans were foiled in Denmark, Germany, and Holland. They quoted Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as saying, “The Hamas terrorist organization has been working relentlessly and exhaustively to expand its lethal operations to Europe, and thereby constitute a threat to the domestic security of these countries.”

We do not write to you with any desire to raise fear in you, for that is not the Lord’s heart. He desires we would find peace in Him and be moved to prayer.

So, we encourage you to maintain vigilance as you go about your holiday celebrations with family and friends. “Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers.” (Ephesians 6:18; NLT) “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12; NIV)

So, be watchful in prayer as you do your holiday shopping, travel, gather at church programs, etc. Pray before you go, and know that the Lord is with you wherever you go. When you hear about gatherings of large numbers of people in your community, pray diligently over those areas in advance. Ask the Lord to protect all who will attend.

May the Lord grace you and your family with a beautiful Christmas and a truly prosperous New Year. May you grow in grace and favor with God and with man, and may the enemy be routed from our land!

For the future of the nations.

Editorial Special Section: Yvon Attia: A “Grand Finale” December!

Message: Yvon Attia Date: December 18, 2023 Source: Elijah List

Editor’s note: This excerpt is one of two dreams Yvonne Atiyah posted in the December “Finale” of Elijah’s List. (You can read the full article here ).

Dream of a Snake – The Lord Will Crush Skulls in This Season

Dream Interpretation:

The Lord will be crushing some skulls in this season. I heard the Lord say, “Stand and see the deliverance of the Lord. This month will not be over before I bring deliverance and breakthrough. You are about to experience the grand finale of the year, the culmination of the Lord’s favor and goodness. I am about to crown the year with My favor and goodness.”

A “Grand Finale” December

God started to speak to me about December. It will be a month of “grand finale” for the remnant. God has kept the best for last. There will be an outpouring of new wine, and many will be surprised. It will be like when the master of the ceremony tasted the good wine at the end and said, “‘A host always serves the best wine first,’ he said. ‘Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!’” (John 2:10).

And so, as I prayed, I heard this word: “You are entering a special month where Heaven will rule over every injustice and oppression. The year is not over yet… Do not under estimate this month, for I am here to tell you that I have kept the best until last. This is a month of great victory; the grand finale is about to start.

“My arm will be revealed to you to perform the greatest of miracles, especially in difficult situations where all hope is lost and there are no signs of life. You will be in awe and wonder, saying, ‘Lord, how did Your hand achieve this great victory?’ (Wikimedia Commons)

“Do not be surprised or shocked when [you] wake up and find out big trees have been chopped suddenly – big names disappear instantly. I am not a respecter of people. They will be cut down with no favoritism, no matter how big they are. Many will not make it into the new year because I am cleaning out My country and My Church.

“The time has come for HEAVEN TO RULE. The government of Heaven will be made known in this time to many. But the head of the snake will not – that’s manipulating those in government – will not be cut off; it will be crushed. Watch Me do this!

“Get ready to see the high made low and the low made high. It will happen suddenly and without introduction. Get ready to see My sovereign hand move people, with unexpected favor, toward you. The enemy was planning a disaster, but I have busted and frustrated his plans. Heaven inserted a different ending to what was planned, for there shall be ridiculous resurrection to what you thought was dead.

“You are turning a corner even in December, a corner you did not account for or plan. I decree to you that dead situations are coming to life, and difficult situations will end. It will be like the days of Esther, when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the control over them; it was turned to the contrary so that the Jews themselves gained the control over those who hated them.

“This is not the time to fear or doubt, but to believe and trust that I am at work and that you will see the greatest miracles of the year. This is the time to speak life over your dead, and say, ‘Arise, arise, arise!’

“I do not leave things unfinished, for I, who started a good work, will bring it to completion. December will be a wild month of celebrations, for I will crown the year with My goodness and My favor. You will have to stand back and watch the rolling out of ridiculous grand finale events. December will end with fireworks, for you will see and know that I the Lord your protector will work all things for your good.”

Editorial Special Section: God Fights for us at the Door of Promise in 2024

Message: Lily Acherman Date: December 23, 2023

God promised to give Abram a son and give his descendants the land of Canaan as an inheritance. This was God’s call and destiny for Abraham.

In the spirit world, the enemy resisted Abraham’s destiny! There is a war in the spiritual world! Abraham’s wife Sarai was taken away by Pharaoh. It seemed that Abraham was afraid, but in fact it was a fierce battle in the spiritual world!

Because the enemy knows that if his wife is gone, his son will be gone as well. Destiny is no longer established! Abraham lost his wife twice! God personally fought for Abraham twice! Get Abraham’s wife back!

The enemy is now also resisting us in the promised places in our lives, causing us to lose hope and enter darkness, as if the promises cannot be fulfilled. Like Abraham losing his wife.

We cannot win on our own. Abraham was unable to take his wife back from Pharaoh and Abimelech! But God fights for us in the place of our promise! God Himself fights for us! Make the impossible possible! Let the promises be fulfilled in our lives!

Because of God’s goodness, faithfulness, and love! He fights for us! Lead us into our destiny! 2024 is the door of promise! We stand at the door of promise, and at this door of promise there will be fighting, as if we cannot enter, as if hope is lost, but the battle belongs to the Lord! He will fight for us in 2024! He will lead us into the door of destiny.

As this new year approaches, let us honor our God with thanksgiving and praise! Let us rejoice and rejoice in our King! Give God the highest praise!

Praise Him in the difficult areas of your life. Praise Him in the hopeless areas of your life! In the places of pain and battle in your life, rise above all circumstances and ego to give our King the highest praise! Come thank Him! Praise Him! Because He deserves it!

In 2024, God will fight for us where we are destined to be! He will lead us into our destiny to the praise of His faithful and glorious name!

[ Prayer]
Heavenly Father, we thank You! You are the Lord of hosts! Because of Your faithfulness and love, because You keep Your covenant and show love! You will fight for Your people! Fight for us at the door of promise! Your people will enter the gate of destiny in 2024! Joshua’s generation will enter its destiny!

Heavenly Father, we praise You for Your faithfulness and love! Because of Your goodness and faithfulness! We can enter the door of destiny! And I will praise You in the Promised Land!

Editorial Special Section: [Voice of Fig] Torah Gleaning: The eleventh week is approaching

Message: Jenny Lee Date: December 24, 2023 Audio: [Voice of Fig] YouTube audio

Scripture Progress: Genesis 44:18~47:27
Companion Reading: Ezekiel 37:15-28 ; Ephesians 2:1-10

Three soldiers who believe in the Lord are currently seriously injured. Amitai has both legs amputated. After Eli regained consciousness, he said that he was very close to the explosion and it was a miracle that he survived. They believe that they can be discharged from the hospital smoothly. Uriyah was a German Christian who was unconscious and resting in peace. Please continue to pray for all soldiers. Hamas is very evil. They will induce Israeli soldiers to kill civilians, kill hostages, or use the compassion of soldiers to find opportunities to attack soldiers. Even soldiers who are not physically injured on the battlefield may have Post-traumatic stress disorder, nightmares and other issues. In addition, some of the hostages exchanged back to Israel suffered from mental illness and hallucinations after being held in total darkness for four days. Some of them only took three baths in fifty days, or even did not take a bath at all. They had head lice. There are also some skin diseases. Pray for the recovery of these hostages, and also pray for the anxiety and physical and mental health of the families who are still waiting for the hostages to be released after hearing the sharing. Ask the Lord to raise up more Christians to pray for this war!

Six Stages of Transition

Stage 1: Interruption
- Your peaceful life has been interrupted in some way.
- Interruptions can enter our lives in many ways: change, growth, loss, health problems, job dissatisfaction, relationship changes, encounters with God, etc. The details of the interruption may vary, but they all involve elements of unrest, discomfort, disruption, change, tension, and indecision. You know something is changing. Your desires are changing. Your mind is drawn to new things.
- Interruptions can create turmoil, agitation, and even irritation within you. What was once stable and smooth becomes bumpy and full of friction. Your dissatisfaction grows day by day. You are bored. You feel like you’re underutilized.
- You know you can do more. Your passion is waning or disappearing. A deviation has occurred. Some things no longer work the way they once did. More effort is required for less results. You can’t go on like this. More and more often, you imagine yourself somewhere else. Live life differently.
Stage 2: Detachment
- Initially, this alienation is often emotional and psychological. You start to back away slowly. You are no longer as engaged as you once were.
- The old version of you begins to shrink and decrease; the new version of you begins to grow and increase.
- Still shows up and gets the job done. You spend time with each other. But your heart is not in it. You are not ready to let go or leave. not yet. You don’t want to do something you’ll regret.
- But as time goes on, you know something has changed. And it’s irreversible.
- Disengagement can also be a difficult time. You may be struggling to figure out what to do next. You will feel like there is a fog around you and the future will be blurry.
- At this point, you should be honest with yourself about what is most important to you. If you’re going to move on, you want to make sure it’s toward somewhere or something more fulfilling and satisfying. The disengagement stage can also be a time of fear. Moving on is risky. But there are risks in staying in a place that no longer belongs to you.
Stage 3: Separation
- This is where the break occurs. At every transitional stage, something, someone, or a place is left behind. There is an exit. Resign. move. Finish. It may be planned or it may be unplanned.
- It may be smooth or sharp. But before we get to the next step, we first have to walk through separation.
- Even in healthy transitions, separation can be difficult. People and places have emotions. We build connections and friendships. We put down roots and establish patterns. We become comfortable and familiar in our role. Separation causes us to lose at least part of it, if not all of it. As for that it’s up to you: leave well.
- From a spiritual perspective, how you leave one season often determines the level of grace you experience in the next season. The separation phase is tough. But it can also be a time of excitement and anticipation.
- If God calls you to leave a place or position, it’s because He is leading you to a better place. Often, you have to completely separate yourself from the old before you can fully embrace the new.
Stage 4: Losing Direction
- In any period of transition, there is always a season of displacement and readjustment. This is the nature of change. We left the familiar place and came to a strange place. You are no longer the person you used to be. But you’re not entirely sure who you are yet. You are adapting to your change of status. You may still be carrying around the trauma of your past.
- You may be grieving some loss. Maybe you didn’t get the ending you wanted.
- There may also still be uncertainty about the future. Being disoriented brings many challenges and uncertainties. It feels a bit like exile. You are in a foreign land. But it could also be a dream opportunity. Reimagine what your life could be like. Reinvent yourself. Gain new perspectives. Explore your options. Try new things. As you continue to take each step of faithful obedience, the details and definition of “something new” will emerge.
Stage 5: Discovery
- At this stage, you want to figure out: What or where is the next step?
- Pay attention to and acknowledge your desires. What do you want to do next? What do you like?
- If you’re going to create a future, why not create a future that you actually enjoy?
- Our setbacks can also point to our future. What breaks your heart? Where are the problems that need to be solved? The exploration phase is a time to try new things.
- Test yourself. challenge the limit. Have the courage to fail. You are almost diagnosing your own soul. Is there something deep inside you that you want to let out? There are often clues about your future in your past or present.
- What do people say you are good at? Where have you had success? What areas of your life seem to be unusually favored? What does God seem to be blessing?
Stage 6: Rise

- The rise phase is when you cross the Jordan River and take possession of the Promised Land.
- You have entered a new stage. You have crossed a dividing line. You are walking where you long to see. Your prayers have been answered. This stage is like a rebirth. Like any birth, the process is often messy and painful. But what emerges is beautiful and makes all the effort worth it.
- Also, be aware that when you arrive at your destination, it’s often not what you imagined. Your expectations change. You have changed too. The person you emerge from the transition process is no longer the same person you were before. Sometimes the reality of life in the Promised Land is harder or more challenging than we imagined. At least initially. But that doesn’t mean it’s the wrong place. It takes time to adapt to a new environment. It may be new here, but it’s not normal yet. You have entered. Now, take some time to get used to it.
- Man forgets, but God does not forget
- You will be remembered and remembered in God’s time
- Judah the betrayer of his brothers
- Become a Judah close to Joseph
- Because he loved his father without fear, he was finally received the “Kingly “blessing from Jacob’s (see Genesis 49:8-12 )

How to Deal with Past Hurts

Genesis 45:4-8 Then Joseph said to his brethren, “Come near.” They come close. He said: I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. Now, don’t feel bad about yourself for selling me here. God sent me before you to preserve life. The land has been famine for two years now, and there will be five more years without cultivation or harvest. God sent me ahead of you to leave you a remnant in the world and to bring you great salvation, to preserve your lives. So it seems that it was not you who sent me here, but God. He also made me like a father to Pharaoh, lord of his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

It was the first recorded moment in history when one person forgave another.

According to other scriptures, God had forgiven before this, but not according to the ordinary meaning of the text. The element of forgiveness is conspicuously absent from the stories of the Flood, Tower of Babel, and Sodom. When Abraham boldly prayed for the Sodomites, he did not ask God to forgive them. His argument is about justice, not forgiveness. Maybe there were innocent people there, fifty or even ten. It’s not fair that they died. Therefore, Abraham says, their merits should save others. This is completely different from asking God for forgiveness.

Joseph Breaks Through Past Hurts

This is markedly different from the way Joseph described these events when he spoke to his chief steward in prison: Genesis 40:15 “Verily I was taken away from the land of the Hebrews; and I did nothing here that They put me in jail.” So this is about kidnapping and injustice.

But now it has become a story of providence and redemption. Not you, he told his brothers, but God. You don’t realize that you are part of a bigger plan. Even though it started badly, it ended well. So don’t blame yourself. And do not fear any desire for revenge on my part. I don’t have this idea. Because I realize that we are all guided by a power greater than ourselves, a power beyond what we can fully comprehend.

Joseph is helping his brothers revise their memories of the past. In doing so, he is challenging one of our most fundamental assumptions about time, namely its asymmetry. We can change the future. We cannot change the past. But is this entirely true? What Joseph did for his brothers, he apparently did for himself: events changed his and their understanding of the past.

What this means is: We can’t fully understand what’s happening to us now until we look back and see how it all happened. This means we are not bound by the past. The same things that happen to us that may not be as dramatic as Joseph’s, but are still benign, can completely change the way we look back and remember. Through future actions we can undo the past.

Professor Mordechai Rotenberg of Hebrew University believes that this way of reinterpreting the past could be used as a therapeutic technique to rehabilitate patients suffering from severe feelings of guilt. If we cannot change the past, it will always be like a shackle that holds us back from moving forward. We cannot change the past, but we can reinterpret it by integrating it into a new, larger narrative. Joseph did just that, he used it to help him through the unparalleled highs and lows of life’s journey, and he now uses it to help his brothers face the guilt in their lives.

Three Stages of Repentance

The First Stage
- Genesis 42:21 They said to each other, We are guilty of our brother. When he cried out to us, we saw the sorrow in his heart, but we would not listen, so this trouble has come upon us. Reuben said, “Did I not tell you not to hurt that child?” But you are unwilling to listen, so his blood is charged to us. They didn’t know that Joseph could hear it because the messenger was spreading the message among them.
- This is the first stage of repentance. They “admit” that they were wrong.
Second Stage
- Next, after the second meeting, Joseph placed his silver cup in Benjamin’s bag. This incriminating evidence was discovered and the brothers were brought back. They were told that Benjamin must stay as a slave.
- Genesis 44:16 Judah said, “What shall we say to my lord?” What else is there to say? How can we express it ourselves? God has found out the sin of the servant. We are my lord’s slaves, as well as he who found the cup in his hand.
- This is the second stage of repentance. They confess: they did more; they acknowledged collective responsibility. This is very important. When the brothers sold Joseph into slavery, Judah proposed the crime ( Genesis 37:26-27 ), but they (except Reuben) were all complicit.
The Third Stage
- Finally, at the climax of the story, Judah himself said: Genesis 44:33 Now, I pray thee, let your servant stay, and be my lord’s slave for the boy, and let him go up with his brothers.
- Judah, who had sold Joseph into slavery, now willingly became a slave so that his brother Benjamin could be freed. This is what the rabbis define as full repentance, which is when the situation repeats itself and you have the opportunity to commit the same sin again, but you do not do so because you have changed.
- Now Joseph can forgive because his brothers, starting with Judah, had gone through all three stages of repentance.

Full Repentance

plead guilty

repentance

change behavior

Greek (character, destiny) vs Jewish (inhibition, choice)

Forgiveness only exists in a culture of repentance. Repentance presupposes that we are free and morally responsible agents capable of change, especially change that occurs when we recognize that what we did was wrong and that we are responsible for it and that we must never do it again. The possibility of such a moral transformation simply did not exist in ancient Greece or any other pagan culture. Greece was a culture of shame that opened up dual concepts of character and destiny. The Jewish faith is a culture of repentance and forgiveness, with core concepts of will and choice. The idea of forgiveness was subsequently adopted by Christianity, making Judeo-Christian ethics the primary vehicle for a culture of forgiveness throughout history.

Repentance and forgiveness are not just two ideas among many. They changed the human condition. For the first time, repentance establishes the possibility that we will not endlessly repeat the past. When I repent, I show that I can change. The future is not determined. I can make it different than what it could have been. Forgiveness frees us from the past. Forgiveness breaks the irreversibility of reaction and revenge. It is the undoing of something that has been done.

Human nature changed from the day Joseph forgave his brothers. When we forgive and deserve to be forgiven, we are no longer prisoners of the past. A moral life is a life that makes room for forgiveness.

Jacob’s New Leap in Migrate

Genesis 46:1-3 So Israel arose and came to Beer-sheba, taking everything he had, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. At night, God said to Israel in a vision: Jacob! Jacob! He said: I am here. God said: I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you a great nation there.

Bless you for your new leap

Before 2024 comes, let us deal with the wounds of the past, forgive ourselves, forgive others, and prepare to move forward.

Editorial Special Section: Miracles in the Israel-Hamas War (7) – Miracles Unveiled

Date: December 18, 2023 Source: Stories to Inspire Video

Right now, they just interrogated one of the Hama terrorists that was caught by the IDF. So they take him into interrogation in order to find out more information to try to save the hostages and destroy plots of killing IDF soldiers in order to beat the war. It’s part of the strategy of winning the war. So as they’re interrogating this specific Hama terrorist, who was in charge of a whole group of terrorists on October 7th. And his job was to go to a place called Tifrach which is a city, a community or a Kibbutz at the south of Israel near the Gaza border. Now many of you I’m sure have heard of this place called Tifrach, which is a known town that has a very big Yeshiva(religious institution) of close to 800 students, or even more. It’s a world famous Yeshiva. A lot of rabbis and scholars learn in this institution.

This terrorist was to break inside the kibbutz to break the gates of Tifrach, the city and go inside on Simchat Torah(October 7th) to wipe out anyone in the building. Now this terrorist went through the bag that he was carrying with them on the day of the attack and they saw in his bag that he had the schedule of the day of the Holiday Simchat Torah in the institution. He knew exactly when the morning prayer was on October 7th in the institution. He knew when they’re having the holiday ceremony, when they are having the second prayers, when they’re having afternoon prayers,

when they’re having the meal in the institution. I don’t know how this terrorist got it but he had an exact schedule of where the institution’s students are going to be that day in the institution of Tifrach.

And more than that, he had a picture of the building and exactly where the front door and the back door of the Yeshiva are. His plan was to send five terrorists to every entrance and their plan was to kill as many Jews as possible in the building. But obviously thank God, his plan did not go through at all and this terrorist got arrested and caught and now he’s being interrogated. The general in charge of the interrogation that told the story to Rabbi Chayim Zayeed, asked the terrorist, “Why did you not break inside the Yeshiva? What stopped you from taking over this town like you did with all the other towns? This is the question of the general of theIDF, who was interrogating the terrorists. And the terrorist answered the general, “As I was by the gate of the community of Tifrach, I saw the institution that I was supposed to attack the building, but I saw fire and smoke coming on top of the building. And I thought, “why should I waste my time?” I told my people, the terrorists, “We have other places to attack. Let’s not waste time with this building, because I see a lot of fire, a lot of flames going out of the building and therefore I left.”

This General Rabbi Chayim Zayeed told the story, and said this is what the terrorist told me: he saw flames and fire coming out of the institution of Tifrach. So therefore they did not attack the building. We all know that was totally not the reality. The students at the time were dancing with Simchat Torah and praying and singing to God and there was not any fire. But the terrorist testified that he saw flames coming out of the building and he had a plan to attack the institution. What stopped him is because he saw fire coming out of the building. Rabbi Chayim Zayeed said this is an unbelievable story. There was literal spiritual fire. There was fire coming out of the building out of the Bible, being learned in that building, out of the dancing of Simchat Torah, out of the prayer of 800 students in one building. The fire that the Arab saw was an open miracle. The fire was the fire of the Bible. The fire of the commandments was coming. The spiritual fire that was coming out of that building at that moment, every time we learn the Bible, every time we pray, it really makes a huge difference in the world. If we had the right glasses on, we will see the flames of spirituality. We will see fire coming out of the Torah. What an unbelievable story. God literally exists and we have the merit to serve him as much as possible.

Pray for America: Finding America’s Old Road

Though Churchill was not what most would think of as religious, he was nevertheless a man of deep faith and biblical knowledge, which many, like biographer Stephen Mansfield, believe was instilled in him by his childhood nanny. Churchill often referenced “Christian civilization” as one of the causes for which the Allies were fighting Hitler, which the following partial list of quotes illustrates:

As early as 1931, in The Strand Magazine, Churchill wrote about “our duty to preserve the structure of humane, enlightened, Christian society.”
In a speech to the House of Commons about the Munich Agreement in 1938, Churchill said, “There can never be friendship between the British democracy and the Nazi power, that power which spurns Christian ethics, which cheers its onward course by a barbarous paganism.”
In 1940, he said, “I expect that the battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian Civilization.”
As he contemplated the defense of London during the Battle of Britain, he referred to the metropolis as “this strong City of Refuge which…is of deep consequence to Christian civilization.”
In 1944, he said, “It is no exaggeration to say that the future of the whole world and the hopes of a broadening civilization founded upon Christian ethics depends upon the relations between the British Commonwealth of Nations and the USA.”
In his famous “Iron Curtain” speech on March 5, 1946, after the war had ended, Churchill still sounded the warning, saying that the Communist parties infiltrating postwar nations “constitute a growing challenge and peril to Christian civilization.”

Churchill knew the war was about more than a madman’s lust for power; satan was behind it. Satan has planned many actions and enterprises over the centuries to oppose Christ’s cause, just as he did with Hitler and the Nazis, followed by Communism. Today’s Marxist wokism, partnering with secularism, is more of the same. (Secularism is the view that public education and other matters of civil policy should be conducted without the introduction of a religious element.) The intent of satan, the author of these evils, is to stop the gospel of Christ’s Kingdom from succeeding. Though his spiritual war manifests in physical wars and political beliefs, we must never forget that the roots and causes of all antichrist efforts are spiritual.

The War For America

The war for the soul of America springs from this battle. Raised up to trumpet Christ’s good news to the ends of the earth and having become a key player in this righteous cause, America has become a primary target of satan and his kingdom. He wants to steal our destiny because it is linked to Christ’s cause.

This war over America is ultimately the same war Churchill and the Allies were fighting. Satan doesn’t care whether he rules people by force, as in Nazi or Marxist dictators, or through intellectual ideals such as paganism, secularism, or hedonism (the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the highest good). As long as he can keep people from the truth of the gospel and the spiritual freedom it produces, he is satisfied.

The same cynics who today scoff at statements regarding America being raised up for the cause of Christ would no doubt have scoffed at Churchill’s statements that he and Britain were fighting for Christian ideals and civilization. And they’re just as wrong today as they would have been then. When we pray for America’s spiritual revival, we are praying for the salvation of a billion souls around the world.

Our Focus and Commitment

This also means we must be just as focused and committed today as the Allies were then. Our cause is just as noble. Do not be deterred by accusations of “Christian nationalism,” “followers of Trump,” “the bigoted right,” “hate mongers,” “insurrectionists,” or the various “phobics” words they coin. We know who we are and who we are not. Don’t be distracted by liars and propagandists who oppose and try to define us.

When Israel’s destiny was in peril because of their compromise, Jeremiah prophesied, “Go stand at the crossroads and look around. Ask for directions to the old road, the tried-and-true road. Then take it,” (Jeremiah 6:16, The Message). We must do the same. Knowing the United States of America was God’s idea, connected to His cause, our Founders left no doubt about this. Consider the revealing words of George Washington and John Quincy Adams.

“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion, and morality are indispensable supports. It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.” (George Washington)

“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.” (John Quincy Adams)

It doesn’t get any clearer than that. America’s old road leads back to the old road of the gospel and the Cross, the birthplace of Churchill’s “Christian civilization.”

Pray for Israel: Pray for “Operation Swords of Iron” in the Israel-Hamas War [Updated]

Editor’s note : This article is an excerpt from the “December 22 Prayer Focus” weekly published by “Intercessors for Israel” for your reference.

God Almighty, use Israel’s current situation, which is causing many nations to come against it, to hasten Your Son’s return (Isa. 42:13; Zech. 12:2-10; 14:1-4).
Please block all attempts to manipulate or blackmail Israel (Num. 23:23; Job 5:13-14; Psa. 124:1-8).
We thank You and give You glory for the war cabinet’s stance as an answer to prayer (Psa. 50:15).
Keep the war cabinet united and focused on its goal of destroying Hamas (Psa. 15:4; Matt. 5:37).
Let the IDF’s flooding of Hamas’ enormous tunnel system wash away the deadly traps which the enemy has put there against Israel’s army (Psa. 35:4-8; 74:20; Isa. 28:15-18).
Remove Hamas’ demonic protection, and replace it with spirits of paranoia and panic (Num. 14:9).
Almighty God, continue to insert Your angelic hosts in this war alongside the IDF (Psa. 35:5-6).
Protect Israel’s modern-day warriors and supply all of their needs (Psa. 32:7; 140:7; 144:10).
Enable the IDF to fight like David’s mighty men, especially inside Gaza’s cities (2 Sam. 23:8-9).
Please guard over them from friendly fire or any other type of accidents (Psa. 3:3-5; 91:4).
We grieve over the deadly mistake of the IDF killing three hostages that they thought were terrorists and plead with You to prevent further errors like that (Job 19:4; Psa. 19:12a).
Comfort supernaturally both those hostages’ families and the soldiers who killed them (Psa. 23:4).
Yet Lord, let Israelis perceive that all deaths and injuries are ultimately Hamas’ fault (Deut. 19:13).
Rescue all remaining hostages miraculously (Psa. 12:5; 79:11-12; 144:7; Isa. 42:7; Zech. 9:11), or direct the IDF to find them – or their bodies (Num. 21:1-3; Isa. 49:24-26; Jer. 31:11).
Guide Israel to either capture or kill every Hamas leader who is still breathing, regardless of where they may be hiding or residing (Josh. 10:24-25; Psa. 55;23; 110:6; Hab. 3:13).
Provide wisdom to Israel’s intelligence agencies to uncover all enemy plots by reading the data they gather from Gaza, and Judea and Samaria, correctly and timely (Gen. 40:8; Job 33:15-16; Dan. 2:22).
Anoint Israelis who question captured Hamas terrorists to know truth from deception (Eccl. 8:5b).
We bless You that Israel is saying no to the world’s pressure to let the Palestinian Authority [PA] be the next rulers in Gaza, as they are as dangerous as Hamas to the Jewish nation (Psa. 33:10-11).
Encourage Israel to continue to expose how the Palestinian Authority and most of its people support Hamas’ October 7th atrocities, and thus are not interested in “peace” with the Jews (Jer. 8:11, 15).
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, reveal to Israel’s leaders that now is the time for Your nation to repossess Gaza as it is a part of Judah’s biblical inheritance (Josh. 15:1, 47; Judg. 1:18)

Pray for Israel: Prayer Guide Against Anti-Semitism

Antisemitism is a spiritual condition — a manifestation of the spirit of Amalek and Antichrist through people and organizations. It is in fact hatred of Jesus, the Jewish Messiah. How can we pray as followers of Messiah and as supporters of Israel and the Jewish people?

To begin, ask Holy Spirit to search your own heart and repent of any known antisemitism in you or your generational line. This would include prejudices, antisemitic jokes, and off-color remarks. Then stand in the gap and repent of any known antisemitic acts that occurred in your city, state, or nation. These unrepented sins open the door for the spirit of Antichrist and Amalek to have a foothold in your city, state, and even in your home and family. Repenting and being filled with His truth will protect and arm you for battle as you pray against antisemitism.

Protection: Pray for the protection of Jewish people worldwide and especially for the nation of Israel. Pray for the Israel Defense Forces as they seek to eradicate the presence and power base of Hamas in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria (misleadingly called the West Bank), and throughout Israel (see Psalm 121:1; 122:6–9).
Plans and Plots: Pray that all campaigns, plans, threats, or strategies against the Jewish people worldwide and in the land of Israel — whether at the hands of individuals, groups, or nations — are prevented or exposed before they can cause harm (see Psalm 83:1–8; 35; 20:6–9).
Truth:Pray for a halt to the spread of lies and prejudices that fuel antisemitism. Pray that the true biblical history of Israel, its irrevocable covenant that includes the land, and the accurate history of so-called “Palestinians” will be reported and taught. This requires that the blindness would be lifted off those who believe and perpetuate these false ideologies. Lies must be replaced by truth, and that requires a revelation to the mind and heart. Remember that truth is a Person! (see 2 Thessalonians 2:10; Colossians 3:9).
The Media: Pray for correction of media bias, where the supposed “crimes” of Israel are exaggerated, overreported, and emphasized, while similar activities by other nations and groups receive little or no notice or censure. Ask God to create an earnest search for truth in reporting, and that it would replace prejudice, lies, and sensationalism. Bind the prince of the power of the air, who is Satan, the father of lies. Release the Spirit of Truth, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. And encourage your heart with all the testimonies of terrorists coming to Christ! (see John 8:32,44; 16:8–11; Ephesians 2:2).
Culpability of the Church:Replacement theology and unbiblical understanding of Israel’s role in redemption has been around for hundreds of years. The belief that Israel’s redemptive purpose is over, or that Israel has lost favor with God and has been replaced by the Church, is firmly embedded in many parts of the body of Christ and is taught in seminaries and bible colleges. This erodes biblical support for Israel and earnest prayer for Jewish people to be saved. Pray for a hunger in church leaders to know God’s perspective on Israel and the Jewish people from His Word alone. Pray for God’s heart for Israel and the Jewish people to be clearly articulated by pastors, Bible scholars, and seminaries. May the Lord shift entire denominations toward truth and create a worldwide wave of passionate advocates and protectors who are willing to stand against antisemitism in all forms and lay down their lives, like Ruth, for God’s chosen people (see Ruth 1:16–18; Romans 11).
Justice Movements: Some compassion and justice movements misguidedly see Israel as the malevolent actor in every encounter and see the Palestinians exclusively as down-trodden victims. This viewpoint is prevalent even among several Christian groups lured by persuasive and emotional rhetoric and an unbiblical definition of justice. God’s justice is always paired with righteousness and truth (see Psalm 89:14; 33:5). The UN perpetuates this evil doctrine and its proclamations are eagerly taken up and parroted by media and politicians worldwide. Pray that a balanced view of God’s heart and a correct theology will change those who earnestly desire to do the right thing by shifting them away from trendy philosophies and movements toward righteous thoughts and deeds that reflect God’s commands. Declare Psalm 33:10–11: The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes. But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; His intentions can never be shaken.
College and University Campuses: The types of movements mentioned above, many of which blatantly promote anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian sentiment, are the norm on most college and university campuses. An entire nation and people group are being wrongly judged by a repeated ideology rooted in antisemitism and lies. The Free Palestine movement is one example. On many college campuses, this group is allowed freedom of speech, while Jewish groups are disallowed or shut down. This breeds and perpetuates antisemitic thinking under the guise of justice. Pray that young adults and those they look to as they develop their worldview will not be swept up into views that are “trending,” but will instead seek and take a stand for truth as it is found in God’s Word. It is a fearsome prospect that these individuals may end up cursing God and falling under His judgment (see John 8:31–32; 14:6; 17:17).
Groups and Dogmas: Traditional antisemitic groups are emerging again, in new “packaging.” One example would be neo-Nazism. Of course, an even more dangerous global threat is radical Islam, which is targeting Jewish people around the world out of pure hatred and religious furor. They have a very specific agenda, and we must be in prayer against it! They say: “First the Saturday people; then the Sunday people” (Jerusalem World News). This refers to their plan to forcefully convert or eliminate first the Jewish people and then the Christians. The Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups call Israel the “Little Satan” and the United States the “Big Satan.” Their rallying cry is: “From the River to the Sea, Palestine shall be free!” — which is calling for the eradication of Israel and all Jewish inhabitants in the land of Israel from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Pray that these groups will lose members and momentum. We as the Body of Messiah must not be asleep, but rather vigilant in prayer, as we are commanded to be in Scripture, for both Israel and our own nations (see Isaiah 62:6–8).

God’s Heart:In Jeremiah 32:37–41, God reveals His long-term plan for His chosen people, the Jews. His plan is to regather them from all the nations to which they’ve been scattered and to cleanse them of their sin. They will be His people, and He will be their God. This is the only place in Scripture where He determines to act with all of His heart and all of His soul. He says elsewhere that He will send first fishers and then hunters (see Jeremiah 16:16). This is a difficult Bible passage for our flesh, but God’s ways are not our ways, and neither are His thoughts our thoughts (see Isaiah 55:9). God will do all He must to bring His people home. Antisemitism may well be one of the goads He uses to awaken Jewish people worldwide to their need to obey His command and be regathered to the land of Israel. While we stand against this wicked manifestation of Antichrist and pledge our support — even unto death, if necessary — of the Jewish people worldwide, we do not want to be praying against God’s will. Let us pray that His will and His ways would be effective, that not so much as a single Jewish person would perish (see Amos 9:9–10), and that all Israel would be saved (see Romans 11:26)!

Pray for Israel: Prayer Points from the Jerusalem House of Prayer for Nations

Editor’s note : This article is from the “Victory of Israel’s Second War of Independence” global prayer meeting held on zoom held by the Jerusalem House of Prayers for All Nations on December 1. We reproduce and agree with these prayer points here for the reference of all intercessors .

Pray that God will give Israel’s government leaders, military, and all the people wisdom so that they can discern the times we live in and know clearly what Israel and everyone should do at this critical moment in order to eliminate the Hamas terrorists. God Himself brought about a breakthrough in this area. ( 1 Chronicles 12:32 )
Pray that things that have been hidden will be revealed to the eyes of Israel and all of us. ( Dan. 2:22; Luke 8:17 )
Pray that the nation will enter into deeper repentance – a true Day of Atonement. If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. I will open My eyes to see and My ears to hear the prayers that are offered here. ( 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 )
Praying like the battle King Jehoshaphat faced in 2 Chronicles 20, worshipers would march before the army, thousands of worshipers worshiping the God of Israel in the beauty of His holiness. We pray that Israel will obey and keep the first commandment and worship only the true God of Israel. God is calling Israel to be a royal priesthood and a holy nation.
Pray that God will raise up an army of true worshipers to worship the God of Israel in the beauty of His holiness, trusting that God will win the battle and bring peace to the people of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the borders of Egypt, and Israel Protect Israel throughout the land. Pray that God will be a wall of fire around Jerusalem and Israel, and that He will be the glory within.
Pray for a complete and sufficient number of watchmen on the walls of Israel and Jerusalem (Isaiah 62). The watchmen on the walls of all nations stand with Israel and Jerusalem. Jerusalem now has four fully operational 24/7 houses of prayer, one of which is staffed by a congregation of 20 Jews and 10 Arabs, with 30 people working shifts every day of the month.
Pray that God will protect Israel’s air force and ground troops, and that they will completely destroy the terrorists of Hamas – today’s Amalekites and the Islamic State, whose only goal is the total annihilation of Israel and the Jewish people; pray that God will protect Gaza Christians and innocent civilians also pray for a safe place for them to come and pray for peaceful leaders in the future. ( Poem 83 )
Pray that Jews, Arabs, and Christians in Israel and around the world can fear God and stand with the God of Israel for the protection, deliverance, salvation, and victory of Israel and their country. We must know that our victory depends on the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. ( Zech. 2:5 ). God has established His King on His holy mountain in Zion. ( Poem 2 )
Pray that God will rise up and scatter His enemies. ( Poem 66 )
Pray that God will convict the many Christians, Muslims, and Jews who seek to replace Israel so that they will acknowledge and stand fully with Israel and Israel’s covenant-keeping God. ( Romans 11 )
Pray that all believers will become trained soldiers in the redemptive army God is raising up in Israel and among the nations. ( 2 Timothy 2 )
Pray that God will trigger a national and spiritual revival among all the believers in Israel during Joshua’s generation – the weak among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like Zechariah Chapter 12 predicts what will happen.

Critical Event: Understanding the Last Days

Many people when they speak about the last days, speak about being able to figure out the details of invasions and nations and the order in which events will take place in great specificity. It’s really not my orientation. Of course, I think about those things and speculate about them, but Tikkun is based upon what I call five major tasks of the last days, which our friend Oscar in Oslo Norway called, the pillars. Others like I said call them the tasks, and they are that before the Lord comes back, we are going to see the unity of the church worldwide and in every major city, we’re going to see world revival and we see these two things connected. We can’t tell which comes first or if they come together or they progress together, one and then the other but Yeshua prayed that we might be one that the world might believe that the father sent him. We have found again and again that that kind of oneness takes place when there is revival but we also found that people coming into unity pray for revival and that’s when revival takes place.

So Acts 2 looks forward toward a great world revival and that is connected to the fulfillment of the prayer of Yeshua that we might be one that the world might believe. So therefore, John is looking forward to world redemption that particular text.

and then we see out of the unity of the church and revival that the church is going to be able to complete the Great Commission, for Yeshua said that the gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in ALL the world. Every nation will have an adequate witness, every ethnos, and then the end will come.

But also this is connected to the gospel going forth to the Nations which will then make Israel jealous so that when Israel is adequately made jealous and they call upon the name of Yeshua, He will return.

So what we need to see is the unity of the church, world revival, the two come together, this will enable the church to complete the work of world evangelism and then this will lead to making Israel jealous. And when Israel calls upon the name of the Lord in its time of deep distress because things will be very difficult at the time that they do that Israel will have had adequate witness to call upon the name of the Lord and then we will see his return. We’ll see the salvation of Israel, we’ll see the world redemption.

But there’s a fifth task and that is we need to see a leadership worldwide grow up that’s pursuing all of these things and we’re living in a time, I’ve never seen a time like this, where we’re closer to the fulfillment of the prayer of Yeshua and world revival than ever before. For example, I can pick many cities, but I will pick the city of Singapore, where one of our good friends and partners, Yang Tuck, has reopened the Welsh Bible School in Wales that I’ve spoken about in other videos and he has unified and is leading the whole Pentecostal Charismatic Church movement all together in Singapore.

We see in the world Evangelical Alliance, the leaders are pursuing John 17 unity worldwide as they represent 600 million believers. It’s never happened to this extent before. And we were so privileged to meet with many of those leaders in the world Evangelical Alliance a year ago. But, we have to understand that there’s got to be a leadership raised up in the last days that pursues this unity because Ephesians chapter 4 says that God will raise up apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, until we all come to the unity of faith. They’re going to equip us until we have this unity, so Ephesians 4 is connected to John 17.

So we are not into as much speculation as some when they talk about the last days but are after a commitment to these broad goals. On the other hand, we do know that there is coming a time of great distress in Israel. I want to read Psalm 83 for you because many have asked us if this is the time that Psalm 83 is taking place. We read:

O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God. See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads. With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.” With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you— the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites, Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre. Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot’s descendants. Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground. Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, who said, “Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.” Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like chaff before the wind. As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze, so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm. Cover their faces with shame, LORD, so that they will seek your name. May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace. Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD— that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Psalm 83 is a great psalm to pray when people who are inspired by the devil seek to destroy Israel. Is this a specific prophecy of this specific war that we have just are coming through? I don’t believe we should use it that way; on the other hand, we recognize as those that seek to have the spirit of discernment of Issachar that this war is a birth pain that is a foreshadowing of the final last invasions where Israel will be delivered and see Yeshua.

But this is not it and we’re praying to hold back the forces of evil until we can see in Israel a much greater harvest because before all Israel is saved we believe there’s going to be a much greater Messianic Jewish movement in Israel, many many more congregation and many many more people will be saved, and that there will be a movement of Jewish believers in Israel that will duplicate what it was like in the book of Acts.

When there were millions that believed and there were signs and wonders and there were miracles and healings and deliverances. And that we are going to see a supernatural move of God and a great harvest in Israel and that those from that great harvest will partner with those from the church worldwide to make Israel jealous and only when things are prepared will God release the final battles.

So we are praying to hold back and to see a great revival in Israel and then we will see the ultimate deliverance and the return of the Lord.

Pray for Native Americans: First Nation People Rise Up to Spread the Gospel

On December 23 this year, Taiwanese aboriginal leader Pastor Chen Xiumei will go to a Taiwanese company, DreamWorks, to attend the company’s Christmas party together with Pastor Ben, another pastor of aboriginal descent. According to Pastor Xiumei, the owner of the company is a non-believer. He was deeply moved when he heard the voices of the indigenous people released by Pastor Xiumei, so he invited her to share at the event and bless the company and employees, so that more people can benefit from it. Gain a deeper understanding of Aboriginal people.

Pastor Xiumei said that Taiwan’s aboriginal people are innocent, lively, kind and optimistic. They live in harmony with nature and respect the operation of nature. Aboriginal people have a strong sense of intuition and are very artistic. They have direct feelings about music, color, rhythm, wind direction, etc. Although their language expression is limited, their actions or totems are far-reaching and meaningful. For example, the Taroko people -White represents purity, and the eyes are full of eyes, indicating that God is watching what a person does.

Aboriginal characteristics:

Dance-Group dance, men, women and children of all ages have fun together
Farming, going to the fields together, helping each other to complete the work together.
Ethics: distinction between men and women
Festival:
1. An important festival of the year, it has functions in politics, economy, education and training, and is also the source of the continuation of the lifeline of the tribe.
2. Thankful for the cross over of one year
3. Pray for the safety of the family
4. There will be a great harvest of crops next year
5. Provide opportunities for men and women to get to know each other

The aboriginal people are Taiwan’s treasures. They are of very high quality in terms of culture and talents. The aboriginal culture has enriched Taiwan and helped Taiwan stand on the world stage. Therefore, we should pay attention to Taiwan’s aboriginal people.

Although many of the attendees at this event are non-believers, nor Aboriginal people, Pastor Xiumei asked everyone to pray for this event. In addition to enabling non-Aboriginal people to better understand the Aboriginal people and establish relationships with them, they can also take this opportunity. Sow seeds of the gospel for the Kingdom of God.
