God’s Way
Romans 13:11-14 Furthermore, you know that now is the time to wake up early, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is deep and the day is approaching. Let us put off the deeds of darkness and put on the weapons of light. Conduct yourself modestly, as if you were walking in the day. Do not revel in drunkenness, do not be lustful and debauched, do not quarrel or envy. Always put on the Lord Jesus Christ and do not make arrangements for the flesh to fulfill its lusts.
Why did He write these sins in the scriptures, and why does He constantly tell us to stay away from sin? That’s because He loves us.

Writer: Lin Zhiwen Date: Reported on March 8, 2024 Source: Christianity Today
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen. On the morning of March 2, local time, Gaza received airdrops of material aid from the United States. Unfortunately, an accident occurred at the Gaza food aid station where “people were scrambling for food.” More than 100 people were killed and the local area was shocked. Add another humanitarian crisis and disaster.
And amidst the many tragedies and sufferings, the power of the gospel never ceases ! Brother Sada, the founder of a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to preaching the gospel to Gaza residents, shared in an interview at the end of February that 200 Muslims living in Gaza have recently encountered Jesus in visions and dreams. Similar experiences have made him sad. Everyone felt the same spirit and decided to return to God and be baptized and become God’s children.

- The joy of the Lord is my strength. My laughter will break the barrenness and initiate the fulfillment of God’s promises.
- Depression and discouragement have no place in me.
- Jesus set me free. For any remaining bondage in my life, the release is already underway.
- I celebrate the goodness of God, every command against me is broken in the name of Jesus.
- I forgive those who “curse” me. I break all false declarations in my life.
- I am the leader! I am rising!

Pray for America: Rebuild the Altar, Ask For the Fire
Editor’s Note: This article is excerpted from the 3/8 post of “Give Him 15” by prayer leader Dutch Sheets.
【Current Affairs Background: Hebrew is an amazing language. Though I am no expert regarding it—I simply know how to use various tools—I do have a great appreciation for its brilliance. As I have said at times, it is a pictorial language: letters represent pictures, which are combined to present concepts. Meanings are understood, in part, based on the context of the letters’/pictures’ use. This obviously means a Hebrew word can represent numerous things.…Detailed Reading】
【Prayer】
Father, we thank You for Christ, our Passover Lamb. We thank You for the many benefits You have given our nation, and the blessings that came from serving and partnering with You. We have danced with You, rejoicing in our salvation, freedoms, and abundant blessings. No nation has been blessed with the abundance of this land, and it has all been because of our loving and serving You. We are proof that “blessed is a nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12).
And yet, this once dancing nation now walks with a terrible limp, the limp of Baal. We are the Laodicean church: wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. If not for the supernatural healing You can provide, we would never dance again. But You also said to this church, “I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him” (Revelation 3:20). Though not a majority, many are hearing this knock, opening the door through repentance, repairing prayer’s altar, and asking You to enter with Your fire. And we believe You will do as You said.
We dare to ask that the latter glory be greater than the former. We ask that this next dance be the greatest dance in America’s history. We ask that the god of Baal be overwhelmed by You, the true and living God, just as he was at the Red Sea and on Mt. Carmel. We declare that our mourning will be turned into dancing again, that we will put off our sackcloth and be wrapped in the garments of gladness. We and our children will once again sing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations! Who will not fear You, Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; For all the nations will come and worship before You, For Your righteous acts have been revealed” (Revelation 15:3-4; NASB).
In the name of Jesus, we declare that the fire of God will fall on America again, America’s limp will be healed, and America will dance like David as the Ark of His Presence returns.
Pray for America: Joel’s Army Prayer Points
Editor’s note: This article is the key points of the “World for Christ” ministry led by Nita Johnson in praying for the United States on March 10. It is for your reference and prayer.

Pray for America: PRAYERS AND DECREES FOR THE PROTECTION OF AMERICA’S WATERWAYS
Editor’s Note: This article comes from the “Give Him 15 Minutes” website of intercession leader Dutch Sheets , which provides a reference for intercessors from various states to pray for American waterways. May the Holy Spirit lead the intercessors to accomplish this critical task of restoring America.
【Prayer】
Father, You have assigned us to pray for protection over America’s water supply, waterways, and dams. Your Word tells us that unless You keep or guard a city, the efforts of watchmen are in vain (Psalm 127:1). Therefore, we look to You for protection – You are our refuge, a very present help in times of trouble (Psalm46:1). When You are for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)? You save us from our enemies, men of bloodshed who do iniquity (Psalm 59:1-2). You are theCreator and Owner of the entire world – all of its inhabitants, as well as the seas and rivers. You are the King of glory, the Lord strong and mighty in battle, and the Lord of angel armies (Psalm 24:1,7,8,10). As a Master Workman, You set the boundaries for the seas and drew the tributaries of the earth (Proverbs 8:29-30), and still maintain ownership and authority over them.
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: Update on Israel’s War
【 Current events background: The Israeli government needs a lot of prayers. Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and his coalition government are under intense pressure from home and abroad: to surrender to Hamas for the sake of hostages, and to surrender to other countries for the sake of “peace” to establish a Palestinian state! Since neither is in line with God’s will, we continue to pray for His will to be done on earth.…Detailed Reading】

- Fight the media war for Israel, clear the web of lies, change people’s hearts, and make the world see the truth about Hamas’ evil.

In the name of the Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.
Praying for Israel: Prayer Guide Against Anti-Semitism
The atrocities committed by Hamas and various terrorist allies against the nation of Israel on Oct. 7 seem to be a plumb line or water shed event on the earth, with nations dividing for or against the nation of Israel (see Joel 3:1–2). Former allies have become enemies in the public square. Since that day, the number of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel/antisemitic events worldwide has increased dramatically. The spirit of Antichrist manifesting as the spirit of Amalek (see Exodus 17:8–16) is coming unmasked.
Critical Event: Pray for the Red Sea Crisis
Editor’s Note : This article is an excerpt from a post posted by the “Jerusalem Global Chinese Worship Center” on January 17
【Background It has been more than 100 days since the war between Israel and Kazakhstan broke out. In order to show support for the Hamas terrorist organization, the Yemeni rebel Houthis (Note: also known as the “Youth Movement”) have frequently attacked or attacked Israeli ships passing through the Red Sea. Since November, more than 2,000 ships have been forced to leave the Red Sea due to attacks on ships bound for Israel. In this regard, the United States proposed “Operation Prosperity Guardian” to join forces with the United Kingdom and other allies to escort merchant ships in the Red Sea. …Detailed Reading 】

Please give the United Kingdom and the United States the wisdom and strategy to combat the threat posed by the Houthi armed groups, so that shipping lanes can resume normal operations and the international economy will not be affected in any way. We declare in the name of Jesus Christ,
- Jehovah God rules over the Red Sea!
- The enemy’s attempt to provoke a new front of war in the Middle East must not end, nor can it endanger the security of the people.

We believe that the establishment of the “Jerusalem Aboriginal Embassy” at this time is crucial and in line with Your will. May You bless every indigenous group participating in this event according to Your promises, and may You also use this embassy to change the views of indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous people around the world, and become a center for inspiring indigenous peoples around the world to support Israel and boycott the Israel’s deceitful, misleading, and misleading statements. We declare in the name of Jesus Christ,
- The Land of Israel is the birthplace of Jewish nation formation, the development of language and sacred literature, beliefs, customs and traditions.
- The Jews are the indigenous peoples of the Land of Israel, and the State of Israel is an indigenous nation.
- No weapon formed against Israel will be used; and whoever raises his tongue against Israel in judgment will be condemned.

- Jehovah God has saved Israel before, and He will save Israel again in this difficult time.
- More indigenous groups and non-indigenous countries must stand with Israel, comfort and support Israel!

Editorial Special Section: Blessings for the Hebrew Month Adar 2
Message: Ron Sawka Date: March 6, 2024 Source: Ron Sawka Apostolic Ministries
Editor’s Note : The second month of Adar is the tenth month of the Jewish calendar year 5784, corresponding to March 11, 2024 to April 8, 2024 in the Western calendar. This article is excerpted from the CD lecture of Glory of Zion prophet Chuck Pierce in 2006. He highly recommends visiting Chuck Pierce’s website to retrieve more information and information. A more complete explanation.
Adar 2—The Thirteenth Hebrew Month of 5784 March 11–April 8, 2024
Please note this is a leap year. In leap years, Adar becomes Adar 1, and is followed by Adar 2. Purim (March 24–25) is celebrated this month.
Speaking Truth in Your Heart
The blessings of Adar 2 are the same as Adar 1. The only major difference is that Purim is in Adar 2. Purim is a time of celebration because the Lord can and does overthrow what the enemy raises up against us.
In Adar 2 as well, we must continue to speak truth in the inner man. The truth that God is faithful and will always keep His word. That He will always be with us. That He is there for us in every trial and difficulty. We must continually speak these truths.
God told Israel, “The word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (Deut. 30:14). In the following verses, He told them how much He wanted to bless them and enrich them. All they had to do was love and obey.
I believe Deuteronomy 30:14, “The word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart,” is an incredible key for victory. Yes there are times when we get tired and faith seems weak. Those are the times we need to declare, “God loves me, and I love him. God wants to bless me. He is here for me.” Making those declarations causes faith and confidence to rise up.
Blessings for Adar 2
- Month of the tribe of Naphtali, which means “sweetness to me” (Note Deut. 33:23, which states, “Naphtali is abounding with favor of the Lord”). The curse has been overturned. Celebrate it. The more we celebrate and are thankful for it, the more we will actually experience the goodness of our salvation. Declare: I am full of the favor of God.
- Month of eloquent communication and expressions of joy and laughter. Genesis 49:21 states, “Naphtali is a deer let loose; he uses beautiful words.” Don’t just have an opinion or understanding that God has brought you into favor—but talk about it, and talk about it well. When we are thankful to someone, we go to great lengths to find the correct words to express it. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you express your thanks and appreciation to the Lord for His favor. Talk about it! Declare: The Holy Spirit will continue to give me favor, and give me words to express appreciation.
- Month of Pisces, the fishes. Finding your supply in the “hidden” world (e.g., the gold coin in the fish’s mouth). Provision is more than just finances. It also has to do with identity. There is an identity for you in the invisible world and you must find it. The angels recognize it, as do the demonic forces. Step into that identity. Declare: I embrace my identity as a warrior. God will provide.
- God has cycles to help us come into our identity. What we are in our spirit will be reflected physically. Some of God’s tools to help us enter our identity include celebration, expressing our thankfulness, and family. The more I find my place in His family, the more my true identity emerges. It’s also why God wants to restore our natural families. Declare: The more celebration, the more true identity emerges.
- The month of the letter kaf (כ), which looks like a mask. It’s a time to remove any masquerade and enter into laughter; enter into the true joy of who you are. We need to remove the mask. We don’t remove the mask by trying to be more spiritual (e.g., more prayer or more praise). No, we remove it by reaching out to and loving the members of God’s family. Declare: The more joyful I am. The more the “mask” will be removed.
- A month to overturn anxiety over your supply. If you remove anxiety, then you can see your supply. But if you are ruled by anxiety, then you can miss the provision God has for you (Phil. 4:6–7) . Declare: Whenever I am anxious of my supply. I will quickly Declare The Lord is my provision.
- The month of laughter, abounding joy, the witnessing of life entering into darkness, the advantage of light over darkness, the power of barrenness being broken. No matter what the darkness is, laugh and watch God permeate it. Light permeates darkness. When we see this, barrenness will break. Begin to laugh at fear (Ps. 34:4–6) . Try it. Is some fearful thing oppressing you? Laugh at it. Declare: The joy of the Lord is my strength, my laugher will break break barrenness, and activate the fulfillment of the promise of God.
- The month of the spleen. Pull out any roots of depression and despair so that faith can break through into our thought processes. Declare: Depression and despair has no part in me.
- The month Moses was born. Your deliverance is forming. Take a look at whatever is holding you captive and declare God’s truth. Declare He is already forming deliverance and freedom for you, and that it is on the way (Exod. 2:10). Declare: Jesus had set me free. Any remnant of bondage in my life, freedom is on the way.
- The feast of Purim. This feast originates with Esther. The devil inspired Haman to get an edict decreeing all the Jews in the Persian empire were to be slaughtered on Adar 13. God had placed Esther as wife of the emperor “for such a time as this” (4:14–16). The edict could not be reversed, but because of her an addendum was added permitting the Jews to defend themselves. Adar 13, which would have been a day of annihilation, turned into a day of great victory over their enemies. The next day, Adar 14, became the Feast of Purim. Daily celebrate that every plan of the enemy against you has already been overturned by Jesus. By celebrating, you enter into that victory. Declare: I will celebrate the goodness of God, every plan of the enemy against me is overturned.
- A month to develop your war strategy against the anti-Christ spirit. Don’t let the giants produce fear in you; guard against idolatry. Amalek will try to come. Don’t end the year in fear. See Exodus 17:8–16. Note that Amalek attacked from the rear. Be sure you are not “holding back.” Also, when Moses’s hands were held up, Israel prevailed. For us, this means we can keep our “hands raised” by staying in faith and joy (remember Purim is about joy). This will keep us in the victory of the Lord. Declare: Whenever I am fearful Or worry, I will raise my hand and decree in faith, everything is in the hand of the Lord.
- A time for wrong decrees to be broken off of you. If wrong decrees are heeded to, they will encircle you and will cause others to say the same negative things about you. You need to break off the negative things decreed about you. I suggest praying and asking the Holy Spirit to reveal some wrong decrees, both self-made, and “others-made.” Forgive those who uttered them, put the blood of Jesus on those wrong decrees, and then break them in His name. Declare: I will forgive those who “curse” me. I will break all false decrees in my life.
- A time for leadership to awaken. Next month they go to war. Declare: I am a leader, I will arise.

Editorial Special Section: Total Eclipse April 8, 2024 – Warning Before Catastrophe
Message : Watchman for Kingdom Date: February 16, 2024 Source : YouTube Video
Many people may know that the total solar eclipse on April 8 this year will cross the North American continent, passing through Mexico, the United States and Canada. This total solar eclipse is unusual, and we’ll discuss it today.
The Chinese Believe that A Solar Eclipse is An Ominous Sign
Since ancient times, total solar eclipses have been considered by people to be the wrath of gods or the end of a dynasty, and may herald an upcoming catastrophe. There are records of total solar eclipses in ancient China. The ancients paid attention to the unity of heaven and man, observing celestial phenomena and knowing earth affairs. The ancient Chinese believed that a solar eclipse was an ominous omen, and ordinary people would panic when they saw a total solar eclipse. According to historical records, in the era when total solar eclipses occurred, the probability of turmoil and war was 95%, and the probability of various natural disasters was also more than 95%. In modern Chinese history, there were four eras when total solar eclipses and annular solar eclipses occurred, all of which had major disasters:
-
- 1848-1857: (Three solar eclipses, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, British and French invasion, great flood, great earthquake, great locust plague)
- 1869-1875: (four solar eclipses, great floods, great droughts, great plagues, great earthquakes)
- 1936-1943: (Three solar eclipses, the Anti-Japanese War, the Great Locust Plague, and the Great Famine)
- 1965-1968: (three solar eclipses, the Cultural Revolution, multiple major earthquakes)
The ancients tabooed the occurrence of a total solar eclipse, believing that its occurrence would lead to the destruction of the country and the king. For this reason, ancient kings issued “edicts for sins against oneself”, offering amnesty to the whole world.
The Background of the Repentance of The Whole City of Nineveh
Everyone is probably familiar with the story of Jonah in the Bible. At that time, Assyria was a very powerful nation. The key to their rise was an efficient and brutal army, full of bloodshed and used to humiliate their enemies. The Assyrians worshiped many pagan gods, and Nineveh was the greatest city of its time with a large population. The book of Jonah records that there were 120,000 children there who could not distinguish between their left and right hands. According to historical documents, Nineveh had a population of approximately 1.5 million and was truly Sodom.
Have you ever wondered why Jonah’s message of repentance to the people of Nineveh had such a miraculous effect? A set of cuneiform tablets discovered in the 19th century provided a clue. During Jonah’s ministry, Nineveh experienced two solar eclipses. The first Assyrian solar eclipse occurred on June 24, 791 BC, covering 74% of the sun. The second occurred on June 15, 763 BC, covering 98.7% of the sun, almost completely. eclipse.
Donald Wiseman, former director of the British Museum and a leading expert on Assyriology, tells how the people of Nineveh viewed solar eclipses as a terrible precursor to God’s judgment on mankind. According to Assyrian documents cited by Wiseman, a solar eclipse meant that the king would be deposed and killed, a useless man would seize the throne, rain from the sky would flood the earth, and city walls would be destroyed. The Assyrians cried, “Nineveh will fall.” In his relatively short life, Adad-nirari became a scourge in the Middle East, conquering a long list of peoples : Aramites, Phoenicians, Philistines, Israelites (who gave gifts to King Joash), Sinhekis, Edomites, Persians, Nedes, Babylonians, as far as the Caspian Sea. The first of two eclipses occurred toward the end of his reign. At that time, the Assyrian Empire entered a period of decline and experienced a plague in 765 BC, a solar eclipse in 763 BC, a peasant uprising from 763 BC to 759 BC, and the second plague in 759 BC.
As Tom Hobson, chairman of the Biblical Studies Department at Mossland College, has observed, the Assyrian state was weak and chaotic for a decade around 760 B.C. They had a great earthquake, which was considered a sign of God’s wrath. Between 765 and 758 BC, famine occurred, Assyria continued to lose territory to its enemies, and there were riots in the country. This is the perfect time for a prophet from afar to warn . According to the Bible, Jonah walked into the city on the first day, and then he shouted loudly: “In 40 days, Nineveh will be overthrown.” The king of Nineveh believed God and declared a fast , starting from the oldest to the youngest. All were clothed in sackcloth. This was God’s warning, so He got off the throne, put on a sackcloth, and sat down. He also sent people to the city of Nineveh, saying, “The king and his ministers have issued an order that people are not allowed to taste cattle, sheep, or livestock, and they are not allowed to drink water.” Let man and beast be clothed in sackcloth, and call upon God earnestly. Individuals turned from their evil ways and threw away the violence in their hands, and the nation’s repentance saved Nineveh and avoided the kingdom’s doom.
August 21, 2017 Solar Eclipse – God’s Warning to America Alone?
According to Jewish literature, the solar eclipse is God’s warning to the nations of the world, and the lunar eclipse is God’s warning to Israel. The most recent total solar eclipse in the United States occurred on August 21, 2017. This was the first and only time in the history of the United States that a solar eclipse only passed through the continental United States and did not pass through any neighboring countries . Is this a separate warning from God to the United States? The total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 occurred in the month of Elul , which is the sixth month of the sacred calendar. According to the Jewish calendar and customs, the month of Elul is also called the season of repentance , preparing for the Feast of Trumpets on the 1st of the seventh month, Tishri, followed by ten great and terrible days. Then comes the 10th day of the seventh month, which is the Day of Atonement. It is the most important day of the year for the Israelites and typifies the salvation of the entire family of Israel. Does the solar eclipse on the first day of Elul serve as a warning to America to repent?
Total Solar Eclipse April 8, 2024 – Another Warning from God on The First Day of The New Year?
The total solar eclipse that will occur on April 8 this year will once again cross the continental United States, passing through 13 states, as well as Mexico and Canada. According to the Jewish monthly calendar, the evening of April 8th is the beginning of the first day of Nisan , which is the beginning of the first day of the first month of the Bible. The Jewish day is counted from the moment the moon appears. Is this a warning given to us by God on the first day of the New Year? By the way, the solar calendar we currently use was established by the Roman Catholic Church. They worship the sun god, so their festivals are related to the movement of the sun. For example, Purim is after the spring plowing, and Christmas is after the winter solstice. The festivals are related to the gods. The monthly calendar is closely related.
Believe it or not, the 2024 total solar eclipse will pass through 6 cities named Nineveh : Nineveh, Texas, Nineveh, Indiana, Nineveh, Ohio, Pennsylvania Nineveh, New York, and Nineveh, Nova Scotia, Canada. Is God sending the best warning to the United States, just like He warned the great city of Nineveh? After a solar eclipse first occurred in Nineveh, it experienced a plague, and then a second solar eclipse occurred. Is this somewhat familiar to the United States today? After the second solar eclipse, there was civil war, the second plague, earthquake, and famine in Nineveh.
The total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 will be exactly 6 years, 6 weeks and 6 days from the last total solar eclipse in 2017 . The 2017 Great Solar Eclipse in the United States split the entire country in half from west to east, starting in Oregon and passing through 14 states before finally passing through South Carolina and entering the ocean. The 2024 Great American Solar Eclipse will travel from south Texas north through 13 states, ending in Maine and into Canada. From the map, these two are major solar eclipses that will draw a large “X” shape on the map of the United States. In other words, America will be marked by the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Tav, written in hieroglyphics. The basic meaning of Tav is to mark, because it is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and it also means completion. God has finished marking the continental United States.
Annular Solar Eclipse on October 14, 2023
A solar annular eclipse will occur in the United States on October 14, 2023 , from Oregon to Texas, passing through Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. There are as many as 29 national parks. If you’re within the path of an annular solar eclipse, the sun’s outer edge will still be visible as a bright ring, often called a ring of fire. When we add the path of the 2023 annular solar eclipse to the “X” pattern of the 2017 and 2024 Great American Solar Eclipses, we see the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Alef, the first hieroglyph. Like an upside-down capital A. These three make up the Alef-Tav eclipse , the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, representing God Himself, remembering the beginning and the end, God’s finger will complete His Alef on the map of America -Tav signature. Remember, on the Alef-Tav map, there are three “X” shapes. According to the Bible, three means a certain event has been completed. Have God’s three warnings been completed ? The intersections of the three “X”s are not random, they are all in earthquake zones .
- The “X” to the south runs through San Antonio, Texas, where there is the Balcones Fault;
- The “X” to the east is Carbondale, Illinois, also known as Cairo, or Little Egypt, where the New Madrid Fault Line is located. Total solar eclipses occurred at the same location on June 16, 1806, and September 17, 1811. About five months later, New Madrid was destroyed by a 7.4 to 8.0 earthquake on February 7, 1812, the fourth in a series of earthquakes from 1811 to 1812. The total area damaged reached 600,000 square kilometers. . The landscape of the Mississippi River Basin has even undergone complex changes. The 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquake was one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded in the United States. It was 10 times larger than the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and 2-3 times larger than the 1964 Alaska earthquake. These large earthquakes occur in areas where the paths of two solar eclipses intersect.
- The western “X” is located in the Cascadia Subduction Zone, 50-80 miles off the Oregon coast. The Ocascadia subduction zone is a 700-mile-long fault that stretches from Northern California to British Columbia off the Pacific coastline. Mount Rainier (Mt Ranier), located on the fault, is an active volcano. It has erupted thousands of times. It is the tallest mountain in Washington state and the highest peak in the Cascadia Dome volcano group. Due to the high likelihood of future eruptions, Mount Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world and is included in the list of the sixteen most dangerous volcanoes in the world. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, an estimated 80,000 people and their homes would be at risk from mudslides if Mount Rainier erupted.
Is it just a coincidence that the three “X”’s fall in three earthquake zones?
Isaiah 24:20 , The earth will stagger like a drunkard. It swayed back and forth again, like a hammock. If sin weighs heavily on it, it will surely collapse and never rise again.
The Lord Jesus also said personally that the signs of the end times include earthquakes. Due to human disobedience, large-scale earthquakes and volcanic activities will occur around the world, not just in the United States. This year’s April 8 solar eclipse will pass near Galveston, Texas. The 1900 Galveston hurricane was the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history, killing 8,000 people. The storm surge flooded the coastline and the island city with water as deep as 82 feet. The storm also destroyed about 7,000 buildings in Galveston. buildings for various purposes.
Total Solar Eclipse on August 21, 2017 – 7 Salem Solar Eclipses
If that’s not enough to shock you, the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 is known as the 7-Salem eclipse because its path of total solar eclipse passed through 7 solar eclipses called Salem as it traveled across North America . The cities are in seven states: Oregon, Idaho, Nebraska, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina.
The 2024 solar eclipse will pass through 12 Salem cities
The 2024 solar eclipse will pass through 12 cities named Salem, one in Texas, three in Arkansas, one in Kentucky, one in Illinois, four in Indiana, One in Pennsylvania and one in Maine, with Salem, Kentucky being the intersection of the 2017 and 2024 eclipses . Salem means peace in Hebrew . Melchizedek in the Bible is called the King of Salem, which means the King of Peace. The paths of the two solar eclipses are called peace, and many cities will be shrouded in darkness. Does it mean that peace on earth will be taken away? Is the red horse of the apocalypse coming?
December 14, 2020 – Midway between Two Solar Eclipses
The middle point of these two solar eclipses is December 14, 2020. This day is
- The Xinko vaccine was officially used in the United States, and President Trump tweeted his congratulations to the United States and the world.
- This day is also the day when the Electoral College votes to elect Biden as president. This is the beginning of the American catastrophe.
Are Solar Eclipses related to War?
The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria on June 28, 1914 triggered the First World War. After a month of diplomatic mediation, war was first declared on July 28, and the first conflict occurred on August 4. On August 21, 1914 , a total solar eclipse occurred over the Eastern European countries of Belarus and Ukraine . The total solar eclipse continued downward through modern Turkey and touched the northern border of Syria and Iraq. Turkey, Syria, and Iraq accounted for about 80% of the remaining Ottoman Empire. In addition to Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and the western edge of the Arabian Peninsula. The Ottoman Empire was defeated in 1918 and disintegrated in 1922. Coincidentally, the solar eclipse occurred on August 21, the same month and day as the 2017 great solar eclipse in the United States, and both were the first day of the month of Elul.
Are Solar Eclipses Related to Plagues?
The global influenza epidemic began in January 1918. The U.S. military brought the virus to Europe and quickly spread to many countries, making it a global epidemic and even reaching the international Pacific Islands and the Arctic. Lichen flu is relatively mild and summer is over. The United States has reported 15,000 flu-related deaths. The total solar eclipse of June 8, 1918, traveled all the way across the continental United States, starting in Florida, passing through Mississippi, Oklahoma, and then up through Oregon and Washington. A second deadly wave of the epidemic broke out in late August 1918, and an estimated 670,000 Americans died from the epidemic. The Spanish Flu killed 50 million people worldwide, more than died in World War I and World War II combined.
A Total Solar Eclipse is A Natural Phenomenon, or is it the Fear out of Superstition?
Modern science teaches us that a total solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon, and the fear of the ancients was superstitious, right? Let’s see what the Bible says.
- Genesis 1:14 : God said, Let there be lights in the sky to separate day from night, and to serve as signs for seasons, days, and years.
God said that one of the functions of the sun, moon, and stars is to serve as signs, and the original word sign means signal. God uses the sun, moon and stars to send signals to mankind. An example is: In the Gospel of Matthew, when the wise men from the East saw the appearance of the star King, they knew that the savior of mankind was born. Following the guidance of the King Star, they went to Bethlehem to find the prophesied King of the Jews. The Bible also clearly tells us that there will be strange signs in the sun, moon and stars.
- Isaiah 13:10 All the stars in the sky do not give their light. As soon as the sun rises, it becomes dark and the moon does not give its light.
- Joel 2:31 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.
- Luke 21:25 There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars, and the nations of the earth will be in distress and be troubled by the roar of the waves in the sea.
The entire world now could be classified as a wicked and adulterous generation, yet God, full of grace, mercy, and love, is imploring our generation to repent and straighten out our evil ways to avoid the worst disaster of all time. He keeps warning! warning! warning! The Lord does not delay, but is patient and awaits our repentance. I believe this Alef-Tav total solar eclipse is the final call and a complete warning to the United States of America and the world. Repent quickly before destruction. If you don’t repent, chaos, war, earthquakes, and plagues are coming. We are at a critical moment of life and death. We can choose to repent and be saved like the Ninevites, or we can continue to go our own way until we perish.
- Deuteronomy 30:19 I tell you plainly today that you will perish, and your days will not be long in the land which you crossed over the Jordan to possess.
Repent! Repent! Repent! I turn from the sin of Babylon the Great to seek the Lord and give Him glory! The coming of the Lord is near.

Editorial Special Section: Nita Johnson: Sorrow and Contrition
Message: Nita Johnson Date: February 25, 2024 Source: World for Jesus Ministries
God’s Way
Romans 13:11-14 Furthermore, you know that now is the time to wake up early, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is deep and the day is approaching. Let us put off the deeds of darkness and put on the weapons of light. Conduct yourself modestly, as if you were walking in the day. Do not revel in drunkenness, do not be lustful and debauched, do not quarrel or envy. Always put on the Lord Jesus Christ and do not make arrangements for the flesh to fulfill its lusts.
Why did He write these sins in the scriptures, and why does He constantly tell us to stay away from sin? That’s because He loves us. Why does the Spirit of God place sexual sin in the same verse as strife and jealousy? That’s because we take some sins lightly, but God takes them very seriously. Why? Because He loves us.
Why does He Mention These Things about Sin in The Scriptures?
Because He loves us, and because sin hurts and cripples our souls, it destroys God’s overall plan for our lives. If we do not receive most of what God wants to give us, it is because we have not paid the price we deserve.
One time when Nita encountered setbacks in her pursuit of God, the Lord told her:
From ten thousand years to eternity, He wants us forever, far more than we want Him. But I want everything from you (Nita). Only I can help you (Nita) discover what is there that you have not yet given me. So you must be patient, walk with Me, learn from Me, and then I will give you what you desire.
Did He give it to me? Yes.
If You want to be United with God, You have to Pay the Price
The Lord told Nita that it would cost her everything to complete her union with Him. Nita said she needed grace because her mind knew she wanted it (at all costs) but the world kept competing with her desires and she told the Lord she needed grace.
Paul experienced this, right in Romans 7, he said that he had been doing things that he didn’t want to do. But when he came to this pivot point, things took a complete turn and he knew that the Lord had released him from within himself. We cannot free ourselves, the Lord must do it. Isn’t it? How did Paul get released?
2 Corinthians 7:9-11 Now I rejoice, not because you are sorrowful, but because your sorrow brings remorse. If you grieve according to the will of God, you will not suffer any loss because of us. Because sorrow according to God’s will produces remorse without regret, leading to salvation; but worldly sorrow kills people. You see, you grieve according to God’s will, and from this you give birth to diligence, self-complaint, self-hatred, fear, longing, zeal, and punishment. In all these things you prove yourselves to be clean.
Worldly Sorrow
It is dead. The way we respond to the world’s sorrow is that we decide to go out and treat our souls well in order to be happy. This is the devil’s scheme. Finally it leads to death.
Godly Sorrow
When you begin to pray to God, ask Him to reveal your hidden sin to you, and ask Him to deal with the sin within you, He will give you a divine vision “concerning your sin.” He will lift you up above yourself and show you your soul from His perspective, showing you how He sees your sin. When you see that sin through His eyes, it causes you so much pain that the sorrow is unbearable.
When you are in a sorrowful and contrite spirit, you will see that He is so holy and pure, and that your sin is so corrupt. It’s very, very painful for you. You would rather go through anything or discipline just to get away from that sin.
God’s Love
- When He speaks of love, He means the kind of love that is dead to self and loves one another. (love of enemies)
- If we do not love according to God’s way , but decide whether to love him or not according to the person’s performance, then we will be locked out of the truth and out of the light. We cannot learn God’s higher ways.
- The Lord once told Nita how to love an unlovable person with the love of God : You need to look at that person’s soul and find that place deep in his heart until you find the most hateful place. The part where you choose to love him, to the point where you are willing to lay down your life for him. At this time you will touch the love of God. (divine love)
- If you want to walk with God, you need to see that every blessing and every trial comes from the Lord and is a lesson He gives you to learn.
- Now, the country of Nigeria is being judged by God . How heartbreaking! God treats a nation as He treats a person. He is a judge, and when sin overflows from the dyeing vat, judgment will automatically come .
God’s judgment is never wrong because He knows people’s hearts. We should thank God in difficult times, and we should thank God in good times.
A Broken And Contrite Spirit
How was Paul freed from his sinful nature? How did Nita gain freedom from her sinful nature? God gives us “sorrow and contrition” that can free us from our sinful habits.
- The life of sin is like the tentacles that penetrate deep into different areas of your soul. The fruit of sin grows from the root of sin, the trunk of the tree.
- The only thing that has the power to break away the sin that is deeply engraved in your heart is the work of the Holy Spirit, which is called sorrow and contrition.
- When you come to God and ask Him to give you a broken and contrite spirit in order to put away sin.
- If He knows you are serious, He will begin to brood in your heart, in your mind, in your soul, and in your spirit. As it says in Genesis 1, the Spirit of God is brooding on the waters.
- What is He gestating, brooding? He is creating life. He brings life within you, gives you strength, grace, light, righteousness…gives you the ability to help you fight against sin.
- When that broken and contrite spirit operates in full grace, it’s like a time bomb exploding within you, destroying the darkness, destroying the darkness, bringing you light, and making you understand how God sees the sin in you. Because that sin is defiling you, it’s corrupting you, it’s making you sick, not physically sick, I’m talking spiritually, emotionally, and finally spiritually sick.
- So as sorrow and contrition are at work, you will continually see from God’s perspective how you are defiling His holiness as you continue to lust after these fleshly desires.
- Eventually you will come to a place where you hate sin so much that you would rather die than commit the same sin again, and right there He can set you free.
- Nita said she knew the power of “sorrow and contrition” because it was something she had experienced. Isaiah 57:15 For this is what the High and High, who endures forever , whose name is Holy The quickening of the spirit also quickens the contrite heart. God promises to dwell with those who are broken and contrite in spirit and with those who are humble in spirit.
- Remember, Jesus said, The prince of this world is coming and he will have nothing in me. When Jesus lived on earth in human form, He lived in a sorrowful and contrite spirit 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. So the devil can’t find a place in him to gain a foothold.
- It’s not that Jesus chose not to sin, it’s that He couldn’t sin. He was fully God and fully human, but the “fully human” aspect in Him was all about surrendering His will until He went to the cross. That is to say, He was all the time on earth. How did He do it under the will of God the Father? Sorrow and contrition.
- “To revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the spirit of the brokenhearted and contrite.” Isn’t this beautiful?
- It is His resurrection life from the dead that quickens us. He brings us from death into resurrection life. How? Sorrowful and contrite. How? Again, a broken and contrite spirit.
- You can be like me (Nita) and have my sinful nature removed by the power of God.
- What I (Nita) tell you is what no one has ever told you, and that’s because few have ever walked this path.
- At this moment, God will raise up a large group of Christians who can live in His presence, and they will no longer be wrapped up in sin. Don’t say it won’t happen to you.
- This is why Jesus went to the cross. On the cross, He bore your sinfulness, and He bore my sinfulness. He has taken these “sinful natures” upon Himself and nailed them to the cross.
- The Lord told Nita face to face: You tell them that anyone who wants to can come to this place (to be freed from sin and united with Him). We Christians can really live in His beautiful palace (knowing and loving the Father just as Jesus did when he was on earth) without having to live in slums and in corruption. (Always fighting, always fighting, but never winning.)
Lord, we never knew, never recognized this truth, but now we are beginning to see and hear this truth. We don’t know how many years we have wasted, but You have never given up on us. Now You stand in front of us and say to us, take up the cross and follow me. Take up your cross and follow me. What You have to give us is far more than we can imagine!

Message: JennyLee Date: March 10, 2024 Audio: [Voice of Fig] YouTube audio
Week | In the twenty-second week he convened | Total number for the 23rd week |
Scripture Progress: | Exodus 35:1~38:20 | Exodus 38:21~40:38 |
Companion reading: | 1 Corinthians 3:11-18; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 | Job 1:1-14 |
Prophetic Message This Week
- Be Yourself
- As David prepared to fight Goliath, he was encouraged to put on Saul’s armor:
- Sometimes others will try to put things on your shoulders that God never intended for you to carry.
- But carrying around stuff that isn’t right for you will only drain you and make you less effective.
- You’ll be most effective when you’re the best version of yourself, not someone else’s second-rate version.
- Be careful with the advice of those who would rather sit on the sidelines than join the fight.
- In order to complete his mission, David must recognize and be completely honest about what works for him and what doesn’t. Sometimes it takes just as much courage to say “no” to someone on your side as it does to face your enemy.
- Give All Your Strength
- For 40 days, the armies of Israel watched and listened as Goliath mocked them and their god. However, they did nothing. They are frozen in fear, paralyzed in passivity.
- At this time, David appeared, and things immediately took a dramatic turn. Everyone stayed as far away from Goliath as possible. But David didn’t. He ran straight towards the giant. He gave it his all.
- There was no hesitation. There was no temptation, he was fully committed. His motto is no retreat, no surrender. A remnant is rising. They have a heart like David. A heart after God’s own heart. They were more concerned about God’s reputation than self-preservation.
- They are people of burning passion and they make things happen.
- Good Beginning And Good End
- Goliath is dead. Why cut off his head?
- David wanted everyone watching to understand that this enemy was finished. The giant that had taunted them for so long would not recover or make a comeback. He is dead.
- In our own battles, sometimes we strike down the giant without cutting off his head.
- You claim victory in some areas, but it doesn’t take long before that destructive habit, that stubborn sin, that limiting belief comes back and lashes out again. Stop pretending to be nice. There are some things you just have to be tough on. Behead it.
- You are on a mission from God. Don’t be satisfied with partial victories. Be decisive. mission accomplished. Don’t just knock down giants. Cut off his head, once and for all.
- God has a plan for us:
- “I know the plans (or plans) I have for you,” says the LORD, “thoughts to bring peace and not to bring disaster, so that you may have hope in the end.” ( Jeremiah 29:11 )
- Please note that God has ‘plans’ – plural plans – for us, not just one plan. In other words, I can’t let one wrong turn or one wrong decision ruin God’s plan for my life. God’s plan is flexible, not static. God considered many choices I could have made. Yes, I can delay your process, or take a detour. But if my deepest desire is to please God, we can always be restored to life. God’s grace outweighs any mistakes or messes I may have made.
- God knows His plans for me. Don’t think of God’s will as a tightrope walk or a balance beam. It’s more like a field with boundaries. I am free to roam and explore without falling outside of God’s purpose. God doesn’t have to stress over every little decision. God’s plan for us is not restrictive. They bring hope, joy, contentment, and a future filled with freedom. God knows the plans He has for me. This is not a competition. Stop looking at the people around you and stop comparing your progress to theirs. My mission is different from theirs.
- God has a unique schedule for me. God has many plans for my life, but there is only one purpose – for us to know Him.
- Let’s restore our first love
- The account of the construction of the Tabernacle at Vayakhel-Pekudei also revolves around the number seven. The word “heart” appears seven times in Exodus 35:5-29 , as Moses specified the materials for building, and seven more times in Exodus 35:34-36:8 , describing The craftsmen Bezalel and Oholiab will be responsible for this work. The word terumah, “consecration,” occurs seven times in this verse. In the description of the making of priestly robes in chapter 39 , the phrase “as God commanded Moses” appears seven times. It appears again in Chapter 40 seven times.
Torah This Week
- The Jewish rabbis compared the beginning of this passage of the Torah with the construction that began in Genesis. Three key words appear in both passages: “work,” “completion,” and “blessing.”
- Genesis begins with God’s creation. Exodus ends with the act of human building.
- After God finished His work in Genesis, He talked about the Sabbath. After leaving Egypt, He rested first and then worked.
- Because the second day after God created man was the Sabbath, man entered into His work on the Sabbath.
Sabbath
- Exodus 35:1-3 Then Moses gathered all the congregation of the Israelites together and said to them, This is the commandment of the LORD, that you should do it: Six days you shall work, but the seventh day is holy, a sabbath to the LORD. day. Whoever does any work on that day shall be put to death. On the Sabbath you shall not kindle any fire in any of your dwellings.
- Acknowledge God’s creation and enjoy God’s creation.
- Break the inertia and servility. Return to zero. Not just fix but deploy ahead.
- Listen to the Lord and prepare for your week ahead.
- Not just a break after six days of work, but also a look forward to the week ahead.
- Stand on the foundation of what Jesus has become and work together with God.
Different Leaders Create Different People
- Aaron obeyed the people
- Moses brought the people into order
- Because he has a blueprint
- Physical construction begins this week
- “Heart” “dedication” “command”
- Men and women participate in giving and serving
- Feel the feeling in my heart and be willing to have wisdom in my heart
Bezalel and Oholiab
- Exodus 35:30-31 Moses said to the Israelites: Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, the Lord has called him by name and has filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him Intelligence, cleverness, knowledge, able to do all kinds of work,
- Exodus 35:32-35 He was able to devise craftsmanship in making all kinds of things out of gold, silver, and bronze. And the LORD made him, and Aholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, wise in spirit, capable of teaching. . The LORD filled their hearts with wisdom for all kinds of work, whether engravers, craftsmen’s work, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, embroidery work, or machine work.

Generous
- We have never seen or heard of a Jewish community without charitable funds.
- We are obligated to be more careful in obeying the commandment of tzedakah than any other positive commandment, because tzedakah is the sign of the righteous, the descendants of our father Abraham, as it is said: “For I know him, and he will command him The children… do tzedakah.” . . If a man is cruel and unmerciful, there is sufficient reason to doubt his ancestry, for cruelty is found only in other nations. . . A person who refuses alms is called a Belial, a term also applied to idolaters.
- Some say that the character of charity is written into Jewish genes, that it is part of our genetic DNA. This is one of the marks of Abraham’s children, so that if anyone does not give alms, there is “reason to doubt his lineage.” Whether this is nature, nurture, or both, giving is a hallmark of the Jewish people.
- The land of Israel has a fascinating geographical feature. It contains two bodies of water: the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. The Sea of Galilee is teeming with life. The Dead Sea, as its name suggests, is nothing like that. However, they are fed by the same river – the Jordan. The difference is that the Sea of Galilee receives and releases water. The Dead Sea receives but does not give. To receive without giving, in Jewish geography and Jewish psychology, is not life at all.

According to the grace God gave me, like a wise builder, I laid a foundation, and others built on it; but each one must be careful how he builds on it. For the foundation that has been laid is Jesus Christ, and no one can lay any other foundation. If anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, stubble, every man’s work will be revealed, for the day will reveal it, and fire will discover it; and the fire will test every man’s work. If the work that man builds on that foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If a man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved; though he will be saved, it will be as through fire.
Prayer 2
- Exodus 40: 34-38 Then the cloud covered the tabernacle, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Moses could not enter the tabernacle; for the cloud stood over it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Whenever the cloud came up from the tabernacle, the Israelites set out; if the cloud did not come up, they did not set out until the cloud came up. The cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and by night there was fire in the cloud before the eyes of all the Israelites. This was true in all their ways.

Editorial Special Section: Miracles in the Israel-Had War (16) – God is intervening in the 200 Muslims in Gaza who received the vision and converted to the Lord collectively!
Writer: Lin Zhiwen Date: Reported on March 8, 2024 Source: Christianity Today
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen. On the morning of March 2, local time, Gaza received airdrops of material aid from the United States. Unfortunately, an accident occurred at the Gaza food aid station where “people were scrambling for food.” More than 100 people were killed and the local area was shocked. Add another humanitarian crisis and disaster.
And amidst the many tragedies and sufferings, the power of the gospel never ceases ! Brother Sada, the founder of a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to preaching the gospel to Gaza residents, shared in an interview at the end of February that 200 Muslims living in Gaza have recently encountered Jesus in visions and dreams. Similar experiences have made him sad. Everyone felt the same spirit and decided to return to God and be baptized and become God’s children.
Life is Found by God’s Love
The service workshops of the “Christian Humanitarian Hope Seed Foundation” are mainly in Gaza and the Middle East , including: medical and health services, providing education for children, promoting economic development and changing the existing culture…etc., hoping to start from the family and use long-term changes in regions and even countries.
The founder of the organization, Taysir Saada, is a Christian of Muslim origin and the author of the autobiography “Once Arafat”. Before becoming a Christian, Saada ran away from home at the age of 17, joined the Palestine Liberation Organization, became a sniper, and then served as a driver for former Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat for a period of time. Saada is a Christian who is passionate about anti-Israel activities.
Sada mentioned in the book that when he was young, due to the influence of his living environment and various misleading information, he gradually went astray and became a person who killed civilians and soldiers and attacked Christians. At that time, he was even nicknamed “The Butcher” because of his cruel methods. Even when surrounded by violence and hatred, the love of the Lord Jesus found him. 30 years ago, Sada was inspired by the Holy Spirit to lay down his weapons and became a child of Jesus.
When he first believed in the Lord, Sada was eager to share the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ with his family and organization members, which made many people want to “get rid of” him. Under God’s protection, Saada has lived peacefully until now. When he was being persecuted, he accepted God’s call to preach the gospel to the weak in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and to be their help in times of need. That’s the reason the foundation was founded: to make people feel loved and supported, not oppressed and hated.
God is Still in Control Amidst Suffering
The changes in his own life convinced Sada that “God is intervening in the war-torn Gaza corridor!” Many local Palestinians rushed to tell each other, saying that many people had experienced miracles from God, and even talked to them in dreams. Lord meets Sada shared that because of the appearance of the Lord Jesus, many Muslims embraced each other in surprise. After confirming that they had the same vision, about 200 people were willing to give their lives to Jesus at the same time.
“Despite the constant destruction that the area faces, I believe that God still has a plan and is still in control to bring the Palestinians back to a different life.”
Regarding the testimony of “Ghasa Muslims collectively converted to Christ,” sister Lana Silk, who is dedicated to preaching the gospel to Middle Easterners, said, “It is quite common for Middle Easterners to witness the encounter with the Lord in visions. God has always been there. Speak to these people.” Lana said that God has the ability to use all means, and the Middle Eastern people are open to dreams, so God uses this to speak to them.
Take the testimony of a Muslim woman A as an example. She was forced into marriage at the age of 13 and suffered great trauma as a result. One day, Jesus appeared to her in a dream and said, “Come , believe in Me and follow Me.” Make her feel a very gentle call.
At first, Sister A was scared and thought that she must strengthen her Muslim faith to prevent the “ghost” from appearing. Unexpectedly, as she spent more time praying devoutly, she began to call Jesus naturally. In the end, Sister A obeyed and returned to God, dedicated her life to Christ, and became the pastor of the ministry team.
Dr. William T. Devlin, an American who founded the charity organization “Widows and Orphans” and serves people in Middle Eastern countries, said that as a minister who often goes to Gaza, he gives full thanks to God. : “Thank God! Christ gave life to this place. In pain, the Lord Jesus appeared to Muslims, allowing people to believe in Jesus. I hope that such miracles will continue to appear, and more people will know God and find eternal love. and hope.”
“In a region with 2.2 million Muslims, there are about 1,000 Christians left in Gaza , some of whom belong to the Orthodox Church and some of whom meet in the Catholic Church. May God protect and increase the number of Christians in this place, It also protects and strengthens them, giving them strength and hope so that they can have the confidence to continue to follow God.” Devlin encouraged them.

Pray for America: Rebuild the Altar, Ask For the Fire
Editor’s Note: This article is excerpted from the 3/8 post of “Give Him 15” by prayer leader Dutch Sheets.
【Current Affairs Background: Hebrew is an amazing language. Though I am no expert regarding it—I simply know how to use various tools—I do have a great appreciation for its brilliance. As I have said at times, it is a pictorial language: letters represent pictures, which are combined to present concepts. Meanings are understood, in part, based on the context of the letters’/pictures’ use. This obviously means a Hebrew word can represent numerous things.
For example, Passover, leap, skip, lame, halt, and limp are all the same word in Hebrew (pesach/pasach). The picture, obviously, is the up and down, side to side, halting movement. Interestingly, though seldom used as such, it is also a word for “dance.” Again, this is because of the movement the letters picture.
WHAT IS PASSOVER?
Passover is a joyous celebration, commemorating Israel’s exodus from Egypt, when God judged the Egyptians with the death angel but “passed over” the Israelites. The exodus was their deliverance from slavery and oppression. This, of course, was a picture of Christ, our Passover Lamb, whose blood delivers us from spiritual death and bondage.
After Israel’s deliverance, they celebrated at the Red Sea with timbrels, singing, and dancing (Exodus 15:20-21). Though dancing in this passage is a different Hebrew word, it nonetheless was a picture of the great joy of Passover.
In 1 Kings 18:21, Elijah asked the Israelites how long they would “halt” (pasach) between opinions. Other translations use different words here – hesitate, waver, limp, hobble, and more. Elijah is obviously confronting their inability to decide between serving Yahweh or Baal, their back-and-forth double-mindedness. But by using pasach, the play on words cannot be missed: You could be, and should be, dancing the dance of pasach, Passover – celebrating the deliverance and freedom given to you by Yahweh. Instead, you are limping the limp (pasach) of Baal!
What a picture!
Israel had gone from a dance to a limp, from freedom to bondage, from God to demons. They had moved from the provision of God to the oppression of Ahab and Jezebel. The Psalms speak of God turning our mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11); they had allowed Baal to turn their dancing into mourning.
Baal worship, or yielding to any other demonic influence, often begins with dancing. Satan paints a picture of sin as fun, freedom, and joy. But the temporary pleasure always ends in mourning, and the dance becomes a limp. The same word for Israel’s limp (pasach), by the way, is used for the “leaping” and “dancing” of the Baal worshippers trying to persuade this spirit to respond to them (1 Kings 18:26).
AMERICA’S LIMP
America once danced the dance of Passover, celebrating the goodness of God and salvation of the Passover Lamb, Jesus. We rejoiced in our prosperity, freedom, wholeness, and partnership with Yahweh; we were the envy of the world, a light into darkness, rescuers. Who in their right mind now questions the fact that we are lame, limping around the altar of our new god, pleading for him to answer by fire and prove that he is everything we thought he was? Like the Laodicean church of Revelation, we still pretend to be “rich…wealthy, and have no need of anything,” and won’t admit that we are “wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked,” (Revelation 3:17).
We sacrifice our homes, children, health, and wealth to this false god, hoping that he will give us back our dance. We elect liars and fools to government, Ahabs and Jezebels who worship this god, hoping they can give us back our dance. But our limp becomes more pronounced, our leaders stumble off of platforms, while the world laughs and mocks our downfall.
What is the solution for this crippling demise? It is the same today as it was in Elijah’s day: we must reject the worship of this false god and return to the God of Passover. Like the church at Laodicea, we must stop our denial and do as they were told, “I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed, and eye salve to apply to your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent,” (Revelation 3:18-19; NASB).
A good time to begin doing so would be Sunday mornings. Limping into powerless gatherings with broken-down altars, acting as though everything is fine, while Baal steals our children and rules our nation, is tolerating evil Jezebel. When Elijah asked Israel how long they would waver between opinions, they were silent (1 Kings 18:21), just as many in the church today.
Elijah rebuilt the altar and asked for fire. What would happen if thousands of pastors around our nation rebuilt the altars of intercession, in what Jesus said should be “houses of prayer?” What would happen if desperate cries for the fire of revival and its cleansing power were issued from the pulpits and pews of America? We know the answer to this: The God who answered Elijah by fire would answer our cries, as well. The rain would fall, Baal’s strongholds would be torn down, and our land would once again dance the dance of the Passover Lamb.
Now, for some good news. Though the majority in Israel did not join Elijah in his prayer that day, God, nevertheless, answered and sent the fire. He didn’t require a majority. And Elijahs are being raised up in our day, a remnant is joining them, and God will respond to their repentance and prayers. They ARE rebuilding the altar, they ARE asking for the fire, and the fire WILL fall.

Pray for America: PRAYERS AND DECREES FOR THE PROTECTION OF AMERICA’S WATERWAYS
Editor’s Note: This article comes from the “Give Him 15 Minutes” website of intercession leader Dutch Sheets , which provides a reference for intercessors from various states to pray for American waterways. May the Holy Spirit lead the intercessors to accomplish this critical task of restoring America.
【Prayer】
Father, You have assigned us to pray for protection over America’s water supply, waterways, and dams. Your Word tells us that unless You keep or guard a city, the efforts of watchmen are in vain (Psalm 127:1). Therefore, we look to You for protection – You are our refuge, a very present help in times of trouble (Psalm46:1). When You are for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)? You save us from our enemies, men of bloodshed who do iniquity (Psalm 59:1-2). You are theCreator and Owner of the entire world – all of its inhabitants, as well as the seas and rivers. You are the King of glory, the Lord strong and mighty in battle, and the Lord of angel armies (Psalm 24:1,7,8,10). As a Master Workman, You set the boundaries for the seas and drew the tributaries of the earth (Proverbs 8:29-30), and still maintain ownership and authority over them.
We know, Father, that we always have access to Your throne of grace through Yeshua (John 14:13-14; Hebrews 4:16). However, in the dream, we were given coins referencing our authority for this specific assignment. They included the words “Official Pass,” the Cross engraved onto an arrowhead, and the U.S. seal. The blood of Jesus (the Cross) is our official pass, giving us authority to accomplish this assignment. Yet, it was engraved onto the arrowhead, which in Scripture pictures deliverance and victory (2 Kings 14:14-19) – our “deliverance” from evil is in the power and blood of Jesus. However, we believe You are also reminding us of the 300 arrowheads, 5 of which were buried in each state after being anointed with oil by First Nations believers. As our First Nations friends prayed over the oil, they were led to declare Isaiah 60, verse 18: “Violence will not be heard again in your land, nor devastation or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls salvation, and your gates praise.” Our covenant with You, Lord, through the Cross, also joins us in covenant with our First Nations brothers and sisters. We believe You are cleansing America of past sins, healing her of broken covenants and relational wounds, and giving us a future filled with hope (Jeremiah 29:11). The coin reminds us of this.
To You, Lord, nothing is hidden; You reveal and expose secret plans and agendas (Matthew 10:26; Luke 8:17). We ask that any foreign or domestic plans to harm our dams, waterways, and water supply will be revealed and thwarted before they are carried out. Expose every plot to restrict our supply lines, hinder our power sources, or tamper in any way with our water supplies, dams, or waterways. Prevent the theft of weapons, extortion, and all that would assist terrorist activities. Frustrate the plans of the crafty to keep their plans from succeeding (Job 5:12), and create disunity and confusion among them (Judges 7:22).
Prevent those bent on doing evil from infiltrating critical positions of influence in our nation. Expose all corruption and confusion that would delay the rooting out of terrorism (Luke 12:2-3). Protect and give wisdom, discernment, and intelligence to all those involved in the search for terrorists: police departments, Homeland Security and their partners, the FBI, border agents, and guards at dams and waterway entrances. Open their eyes, direct their steps, and reveal the whereabouts of all those bent on doing evil. Weed out and expose any in positions of authority who may be involved in aiding or advancing terrorism from within. Protect us from cyber-attacks. Contend with those who contend with us (Isaiah 49:25), cause evil to “bow down
before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous” (Proverbs 14:19). We ask that Holy Spirit would hover over the dams and waterways of our nation, just as He did the waters of the earth in Genesis 1:2, releasing life and blessing. Arise over us, God, and cause every enemy to be scattered (Psalm 68:1).
【DECREES】
Father, we know that as Holy Spirit was hovering over the waters at creation, Jesus was declaring life-giving words (Genesis 1:3-25; John 1:1-3). As His Ekklesia, His representatives, we now declare and decree His Words over our water supply, waterways, and dams:
- We decree that the powerful and majestic voice of the Lord thunders upon America’s waters, blessing them with peace (Psalm 29:3-4,11).
- We declare peace and security within our nation’s walls; violence will no more be heard in our land, devastation or destruction within our borders; our walls are salvation and our gates praise (Psalm 122:7; Isaiah 60:18).
- We declare that God is a wall of fire around our nation, and His glory is in our midst. He is our hiding place; we are protected from trouble because He surrounds us with songs of deliverance, and His angels encamp around
- The Lord keeps us from harm by day and by night, watching over our coming and going from now and forever (Zechariah 2:5; Psalm 32:7; Psalm
121:5-8).
- We decree, by faith in God and His Word, that every dam, waterway, and water supply in [insert name of your state] and all of America is protected and shielded from evil. No evil plot planned or devised against them will succeed; every snare is broken. We will not fear, and terror will not come near us (Isaiah 54:14 AMP; Isaiah 54:17; Psalm 21:11; Psalm 124:7).
- We decree Proverbs 21:22 (TPT) over America: “A warrior filled with wisdom ascends into the high place and releases regional breakthrough, bringing down the strongholds of the mighty.” Therefore, we decree the tearing down of every hidden stronghold of the enemy over America’s dams, waterways, and water supply and release breakthroughs in every region.
- We declare Isaiah 58:11 over America, that she is a well-watered garden, whose waters do not fail.
- Read and declare Psalm 91.
【RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH STATE】
- In the dream, each state representative was given a hand-carved staff. In Old Testament times, men’s staffs were hand-carved with pictures representing their history and testimonies of God‘s faithfulness. We encourage intercessors in each state to use their state’s history, specifically the preamble to its constitution, in a prayer or decree.
- We also encourage intercessors to consider using the book The Prophetic Destiny of A Nation, praying and declaring God’s prophesied destiny over their individual state.
- We also want to point out that there are several nuclear silos for our military in the Northwest and Plains states, two parts of the nation especially highlighted in the dream. We encourage intercessors in these states to remember this as they pray. Holy Spirit will guide you as you do so.
- One of our team members wrote the following decree for the states through which the Mississippi River flows. However, the decree can be used not only for those states, but also could be easily adapted for any major river:
Lord we thank You for the main artery of the Mississippi River, called also the “Father of Waters” and “America’s River, running 2,350 miles through our nation from northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. In the name of Jesus, we ask that angels protect everything regarding this river. We bind all attempts to obstruct the petroleum, agricultural, and other commercial items it carries. We decree that no destruction shall come to its flood control structures & pumping systems, and that no attempts at cyber disruption of refineries, chemical plants, or the computer networks that regulate the barges will succeed. We declare Ezekiel 32:14 that the waters of the Mississippi run deep and smooth like oil, that all along its banks is blessed, and all of its ports are prosperous.
In conclusion, Father, consider the threats against America and give Your people boldness to speak Your Word. Stretch out Your hand to heal our land and people, performing signs, wonders, and miracles, for Your glory (Acts 4:29). Breathe upon the intercessors with words, travail, groans, cries, songs and decrees to govern with Your power (Romans 8:26-27; Psalm 149). In Yeshua’s name, Amen.

Pray for Israel: Update on Israel’s War
【 Current events background: The Israeli government needs a lot of prayers. Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and his coalition government are under intense pressure from home and abroad: to surrender to Hamas for the sake of hostages, and to surrender to other countries for the sake of “peace” to establish a Palestinian state! Since neither is in line with God’s will, we continue to pray for His will to be done on earth.
Diplomatic Relations
Most of the unfulfilled prophecies focus on Israel’s international relations. We have seen this already, with nations pressuring Israel to establish a “Palestinian” state in its God-given inheritance. However, all polls since October 7 show Palestinian support for Hamas rising! Today, Israel faces political pressure to give in to this crazy and unbiblical idea, but as Israel continues to reject it, we can expect increased military pressure on Israel in the near future.
- The U.S. Biden administration claims Israel has the right to go after Hamas. Hamas can end the conflict by releasing hostages, laying down weapons and turning over those responsible for the events of October 7.
- Azerbaijan Airlines resumed flights to Israel from March 19 and expects a doubling of Israeli tourists.
Gaza/Hamas
- Hamas has demanded a prisoner exchange deal with Israel and stressed its unwillingness to give up any of its terms: including a ceasefire, a troop withdrawal, the opening of all crossings to aid and the reconstruction of Gaza. Israel cannot control Gaza. If these conditions are not met, there will be no transition to other stages, including the return of the bodies of the hostages.
- The United Nations Human Rights Committee: “Israel must not be allowed to carry out attacks in Rafah”, but it did not make a statement that Hamas must release the hostages and must not engage in horrific massacres and necrophilia.
- Hamas’ disinformation works… UK: “We warn Israel against starvation in Gaza, our patience has run out.” There are no real signs of starvation except for two hospitalized children in serious condition. The world accuses Israel, while Hamas fabricates starvation death figures. Sacrificing people is their plan.
- South Africa has appealed to the ICC to order Israel to allow increased aid, citing “widespread hunger” in Gaza.
Outside Gaza
- Lebanese Hezbollah claims that they are not worried about the message sent by the US envoy, and our position is clear: as long as the war in Gaza continues, the southern front will not stop.
- Houthis: The Egyptian currency fell by a third yesterday due to Houthi attacks on the Red Sea and reduced shipping traffic in the Suez Canal, and the economy is becoming unstable.
- UNRWA: Canada will refund UNRWA. Iraq funds Hamas, and UNRWA provides $25 million in support.

Pray for Israel: Pray for peace during Ramadan
【 Background of current affairs: Ramadan, the most sacred festival of the year for Muslims, has arrived (3/10). According to the tradition of previous years, hundreds of thousands of Muslims go to the Temple Mount to pray every year during Ramadan. During this period, conflicts between Israeli police and Muslims are more likely to break out.
Government Decides on Restrictions on Access to Temple Mount
Although the Israeli government is worried that the Muslim holy month of Ramadan will aggravate the tension caused by the Israel-Kazakhstan war, in order to ensure the freedom of worship of Arab Israelis in the country, it held a meeting before Ramadan (3/4). Hear views from all sides and discuss whether to impose restrictions on the Temple Mount and the subsequent implementation of rules. 3/6 The Israeli government decided not to change the current restrictions on access to the Temple Mount.
A Raging Crisis
Early last Wednesday (2/28), one of the Hamas leaders currently living in Qatar, “Ismail Haniyeh” ( Ismail Haniyeh ), called on the Iranian-led “Axis of Resistance” (i.e. Hamas Sri Lanka, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, the Houthis and other terrorist organizations in the Middle East) intensified their attacks on Israel during Ramadan, advocating that a comprehensive operation should be launched to break the siege of the Al-Aqsa Mosque . Israeli Defense Minister Yoav. Gauland also warned that terrorists are plotting to intensify attacks on Israel during the holy month of Ramadan.
Israel has been in a war for more than five months. When faced with whether to impose a ban on Muslims entering and exiting the Temple Mount, it must also beware of evil plots from the axis of resistance. Although Ramadan is imminent, senior Israeli government officials are still weighing the options. The best decision for national security is expected to be announced before the holy month of Ramadan this week on the number of people on the Temple Mount and related measures.
Pray for Peace During Ramadan
Affected by the war, sporadic violent incidents and terrorist attacks broke out every week in the West Bank. At this time, the month-long month of Ramadan is about to usher in, let us especially watch for the safety of East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Pray that the Lord will preserve peace between Israel and Palestine, and that the Lord will give the senior Israeli government and security officials heavenly strategies and wisdom to protect the safety of the people.

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

Critical Event: Pray for the Red Sea Crisis
Editor’s Note : This article is an excerpt from a post posted by the “Jerusalem Global Chinese Worship Center” on January 17
【Background It has been more than 100 days since the war between Israel and Kazakhstan broke out. In order to show support for the Hamas terrorist organization, the Yemeni rebel Houthis (Note: also known as the “Youth Movement”) have frequently attacked or attacked Israeli ships passing through the Red Sea. Since November, more than 2,000 ships have been forced to leave the Red Sea due to attacks on ships bound for Israel. In this regard, the United States proposed “Operation Prosperity Guardian” to join forces with the United Kingdom and other allies to escort merchant ships in the Red Sea.
Last week, the United States and the United Kingdom officially launched joint sea and air attacks on multiple strongholds of the Houthi armed forces on the night of January 11, hoping to weaken the Houthi armed forces’ ability to continue to attack ships and commercial shipping indiscriminately. “These targeted attacks send a clear message that the United States and our partners will not tolerate any attacks on our personnel or allow hostile disruptors to jeopardize freedom of navigation,” President Joe Biden said. .”
On Friday, the U.S. military said it used more than 150 munitions, hitting 28 locations, and struck more than 60 targets using cruise missiles and bombs launched by fighter jets, warships and submarines. The United States stated that the scope of the attack included weapons depots, radar stations and command centers, including Houthi military targets in remote mountainous areas. According to a preliminary assessment by the United States, no more than four points of the Houthi armed capabilities were destroyed in the US and British air strikes. one.
The Houthis have not yet acknowledged the extent of the damage caused by the air strikes, saying five militants were killed and six injured in 73 air strikes. They vowed revenge and continued their attacks on shipping. Houthi armed spokesman Nasruddin. Nasruldeen Amer told Al Jazeera that British and American ships had become “legitimate targets” as a result of last week’s attacks on Yemen.
On Monday, the Iran-backed Yemeni Houthi armed group used an anti-ship ballistic missile to attack the US cargo ship “M/V Gibraltar Eagle” sailing near the Gulf of Aden (Aden), but there were no casualties. or reports of significant damage. Earlier in the day, British maritime security company Ambrey said that a US bulk carrier flying the flag of the Marshall Islands was also attacked by a missile while transiting near the port of Aden in Yemen.
Despite the U.S. attack, the Houthis appear undeterred and may intensify their offensive. Farea Al-Muslimi, an expert at Chatham House, said in an interview with Deutsche Welle (DW) that these attacks are more like a message sent by the Houthis to the country. Attacking Red Sea ships and firing rockets into Israel is a unique opportunity to demonstrate their pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel and anti-American stance to the local population. He believes that the US and British air strikes will not be able to prevent the Houthi armed forces from launching further attacks in the Red Sea.
Drone footage from Houthi al-Masirah television showed hundreds of thousands of people chanting slogans condemning Israel and the United States in Sanaa, Yemen.
Reuters quoted a senior Iranian official who requested anonymity as saying that the Houthis are making their own decisions. “We support their fight, but Iran does not want a full-scale war in the region,” which will be made by Israel and the United States. to decide whether to stop “the Houthis’ interference in Red Sea shipping.”
At the end of last year, the United States released the latest declassified intelligence, accusing Iran of being behind the Houthi armed forces’ recent attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea, and that Iran also had signs of “deep involvement”, including providing drones, missiles and tactical intelligence. Both the United Kingdom and the United States hope to curb Iran’s role in the region, but this is likely to increase the risk of new fronts beyond the Israel-Kazakhstan conflict.
Even if the Houthis cannot compete with the military might of the United States and Britain, they appear to have enough determination and the weapons and equipment provided by Iran to put shipping in the Red Sea into crisis and escalate conflicts in the Middle East. Let us watch and pray for the situation in the Middle East, praying that God will be in control of all these matters and prevent the enemy from rising up to provoke new lines of war in the Middle East and endangering the security of the people.

Pray for Native Americans: Jerusalem Aboriginal Embassy
【Current events: The opening ceremony of the “Jerusalem Indigenous Embassy” led by the “Indigenous Coalition For Israel” (ICFI) was held on the evening of February 1 at the “Friends of Zion” Museum in Jerusalem held.
The establishment of this embassy has received strong support from indigenous leaders around the world, including Singapore, Taiwan, Samoa, American Samoa, Hawaii, Tahiti, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Cook Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Native American Chiefs and Southern African Paramount Chiefs.
The purpose of establishing the embassy is to help change the perception of indigenous peoples around the world, as Palestinians falsely claim that there is no evidence that Jews lived here before 1948 and that Jews came to Israel as colonial invaders. The establishment of the embassy at this time became an urgent antidote to this wrong statement.
Sheree Trotter, co-founder of ICFI, told the audience of more than 200 people present at the opening ceremony, “ We recognize that the Jews are the indigenous people of this land, and we stand with you and support you. ” She noted that the Land of Israel is the place where the Jewish people “formed their nation, developed their language and sacred literature, and began their beliefs, customs and traditions. To the Jewish people, it is the holiest place in the world. …This connection with a specific land and its ancestors A deep connection is what defines Aboriginal people.”
Trotter said she hopes the embassy will serve as a center of information, a welcoming place for indigenous people visiting Israel, and a center that “galvanizes” support for indigenous peoples around the world. The embassy will create a department to counter the misinformation about Israel that is prevalent on social media and “tell the story of our indigenous friendships.” The embassy will also host academic seminars and become a tourist attraction. “We plan to establish an NGO arm at the United Nations,” she added. While it would not be an embassy in the ordinary sense – it would represent neither the government of the country where the indigenous people live nor the indigenous people themselves – it has been used by Israel recognized as an embassy.
According to Gil Haskell, Director of the National Protocol Department of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Aboriginal Embassy is the 100th embassy opened in Israel and the fifth embassy established in Jerusalem.
The following are the remarks from representatives from various places who participated in the ceremony:
- Mike Evans (founder of Friends of Zion Museum) told attendees: The Bible says: “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God!” ( Isaiah 40:1 ) You will be a great comfort to the nation of Israel, and you will be ambassadors to your nation. “
- The Khoi are an indigenous ethnic group with a population of about 15 million, divided into more than 20 tribes, distributed in southern Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Xami Thomas, a representative of the ethnic group ) said: “Remember, God said to Moses, ‘ Go tell Pharaoh, Israel is my firstborn son ,’ so we view Israel as our big brother. We love the Jewish people. … We don’t just see this as a way to support It is a way for Israel, and also to let Israel know that her enemies are far fewer than her friends.” He also apologized for the South African government’s accusation of genocide against Israel before the International Court of Justice in The Hague. He also said, “Anyone who says Israel is not an indigenous nation does not know what they are talking about. Because if Israel is not an indigenous nation, then there are no indigenous nations on earth.”
- Greg Motu, a New Zealand Baptist pastor and member of the Maori tribe, also spoke of what led him to support Israel. When British missionaries came to us, they taught the natives “the words that the Hebrews had written over hundreds and thousands of years.” He said, ” Thank you for preserving the culture and history. It has changed us. “
- Ate Moala, a representative from the Pacific Islands of Tonga, recounted how the king of Tonga in the 17th century accepted “the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” Moala brought a message of comfort to the king and queen of Tonga: ” Israel The God who has saved His people once and He will save them again. He will protect you in this difficult time in the war against Hamas and Hezbollah. ”
- Ateret Shmuel, director of Indigenous Bridges, an organization dedicated to promoting the development of indigenous communities around the world, said: “I was horrified to see people who I have known for decades. People who claim to care about human rights and indigenous rights see the worst genocide of the Jewish people since the Holocaust and yet take to the streets to support it, chanting slogans about the annihilation of Israel and claiming that Israel occupies other people’s land.” See After so much hatred, she said, it was a relief to witness “the time and energy that you representatives of ancient, beautiful, and fertile indigenous tribes have spent in such a short period of time, dropping everything, flying across the world, extending a hand of friendship and cooperation, in this It is truly thrilling to stand with us during a difficult, complex, and critical moment in history. It is clear that what is happening here is powerful, epic, and biblical.
