I want to share with you a prophetic dream. This hints at a 21st-century remake of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 but with a modern twist.
You may have heard that Russian warships are officially in Cuban waters—about 100 miles from the south of Florida—and this prophetic dream just two weeks before may reveal what the enemy is planning next.

I was taken into a vision with the Lord where He showed me the continent of Australia. Then He zoomed out to show me the bigger picture of a world map. This let me know that this word was for nations.
I could see what looked like drip irrigation systems set up across the nations, like the ones you would find in a garden to water and grow large quantities of seeds into trees.

I have great anticipation for what God is going to do. It keeps rolling through my heart all day long. I do not know what it is, but He is going to do something extra special.
I kind of had to chuckle when Jon said something like “The Lord has been busy doing small things in relation to the gatherings”. Small things – President Trump was a BIG thing! We have had lots of GOOD THINGS that have transpired that man said could never accomplish on his own. And greater is coming, God told me He would do it and He is going to do it!

Editor’s Note: This article is the appeal of the Turkish Apostle Pastor Andrew Brunson to the Chinese church! In 1993, Andrew Brunson and his wife Nolin responded to God’s call and went to Turkey, the world’s largest unreached gospel field for missionary work. After 23 years, they founded churches, trained disciples, assisted refugees and established prayer hall ministries. In 2016, Pastor Andrew was held in a Turkish prison for two years after being falsely accused of being a terrorist. Thanks to the intercession of Christians around the world and significant political pressure from the U.S. government, including negotiations with President Trump, he was dramatically released in 2018 and invited to the White House to pray with President Trump!

Declaration Prayer: Claim Back Sovereignty Over All Things on Earth
Editor’s note : In view of the recent frequent occurrence of major environmental disasters, such as the derailment of trains carrying toxic chemicals such as vinyl chloride, which has seriously harmed the ecological environment. As the powerful Parliament of Heaven, we can issue decrees that reverse the enemy’s deliberate efforts to destroy all the goodness God has created on earth. This declaration is adapted from the declaration received by D. Steve Ford in 2012 and re-proposed by Ricci, one of the leaders of Joel’s army. Steve heard God say that now is the time to take back sovereignty from several areas, reminding people that the Lord has given us that sovereignty, and we must first speak to those elements and tell them what to do to exercise that sovereignty .
Declare in the name of Jesus Christ:
We take back sovereignty over the air, the rain, the oceans, the earth, the living things on the ground, the soil and the microorganisms that live in it.
- We command the earth, the soil and the microorganisms in it to begin the process of restoration given to you by God at the beginning of creation and return to the natural order God gave you.
- We command the air, rain and oceans to begin an accelerated process of cleansing and returning to your natural order.
Pray for America: Prayer Points for Revival
Editor’s Note: The world is surely moving into more shaking and great revival. As we do, many people are wondering how to pray. This article is excerpted from the prayer post of “Give Him 15” on 6/18 by prayer leader Dutch Sheets. "Intercessors for America" (IFA) published this great article to help us. This article gives 6 principles/mindset needed for revival , along with specific prayer points for intercessors to refer to and pray for.
【Current Events Background: Revivals are concentrated periods of intense and often widespread ministry by the Holy Spirit. They have occurred throughout history, perhaps dating back to the days when Israel was in Egypt. Revivals come in many forms and for various reasons, but they always fall into two categories:...Detailed Reading】
【 Prayer and Declaration 】
- Desperation:
-
- Pray Psalm 139:23–24: Before you pray for holy desperation in others, ask the Lord to reveal any trace of being too comfortable, self-sufficient, and independent in your own heart.
- Pray according to Proverbs 9:1, that America’s moral slide, both inside and outside the Church, will fill God’s people with holy fear and a burning desire to seek Him
- Pray through James 5:4–6 and Revelation 3:15–20 for the Holy Spirit to open our eyes and burden our hearts against any worldliness and lukewarm condition in the Church.
- Pray through the prophecy and promise of Zechariah 14:13–16 for the growing instability in the U.S. to bring about a godly fear in our nation that will direct hearts to return to God and worship Him
- Humility:
-
- Consider the contrast of heart conditions in Jeremiah 17:7–10 and ask the Lord to reveal any trace of pride, rebellion, and disobedience in your heart.
- Pray through John 16:8 for the Holy Spirit to visit His Church and our nation with conviction of sin.
- Pray in the spirit of James 4:6 for that conviction to bring us to humility before God and to the realization that we have offended Him, that we need Him, and that we must embrace and submit to His design for our lives.
- Pray that, according to 2 Corinthians 10:5, the barriers of pride and self-sufficiency and the false notions of success would be destroyed.
- Prayerfulness:
-
- Pray through 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and Romans 8:26–27 for your own prayer life first — that the Holy Spirit would invigorate it and help you listen to what He wants you to pray.
- Pray through Colossians 4:2 for a new and deeper devotion to prayer in the Church that seeks and welcomes spiritual renewal and revival.
- Pray that this prayer movement will reflect Acts 1:14 and unite us with a shared desire to see God move in our midst. Pray through 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 and Philippians 4:6 for believers to desire and pursue a life of unceasing prayer rooted in worship and thanksgiving.
- Pray through Psalm 145:18 for prayer to return to public life in America in the conviction that it is God’s will for people to pray, and that He is near to all who call upon Him in truth.
- Hunger for God:
-
- Pray the Psalmist’s prayer in Psalm 119:36 that God would ignite a stronger hunger for Him.
- Pray through Revelation 2:4,5a that a hunger for God and a passion for His glory would return to the Church.
- Pray that, according to Jeremiah 24:7, the masses seeking reassurance and joy elsewhere will hunger for God and seek Him.
- Pray that, like the first New Testament revival in Acts 2:42–47, the expressions of hunger and thirst for the presence of God in these current student revivals will be lasting and contagious and lead people inside and outside the Church to seek His face.
- Pray for the Church to embody 2 Timothy 2:2, ready to help seekers find the face of God and come into a strong daily relationship with Him.
- Repentance:
-
- Do you desire holiness? Pray through 2 Corinthians 7:1 that God would shine His light on you and intensify your pursuit of holiness and purity.
- Pray in the words of Hebrews 12:14 for a renewed and sustained desire in the Church to pursue unity and holiness. Pray according to 2 Corinthians 7:10 for conviction of sin by the Holy Spirit to lead to genuine repentance.
- Pray for the Church to embrace Colossians 4:4–6 and Romans 6:11–12, boldly but lovingly speaking to unbelievers about sin and its consequences, and teaching people to reckon themselves dead to sin and alive to Christ.
- Pray through Philippians 2:15–16 for holiness in God’s people to attract unbelievers to Christ.
- Joy:
-
- Search your heart to see if you have lost faith in God’s promise of forgiveness and healing, and pray through Psalm 51:10–12 for that faith to be restored and strengthened.
- Pray for the realization in His people of Isaiah 51:10, that real joy for the redeemed comes from knowing and walking with Jesus.
- Pray for unbelievers’ hearts to be opened to God’s call in Isaiah 55:1–3 to find joy in knowing God, and to pursue that through humility, prayer, seeking His face, and earnest repentance.

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.

(Psalms 100:4; 83, 2 and 33:10-12, Joshua 5:14, Matthew 6:10)

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.

Editorial Special Section: Jennifer LeClaire: Prophetic Dream: The Russian Giants Are Coming
Message: Jennifer LeClaire Date: June 17, 2024 Source: Jennifer LeClaire Ministries
I want to share with you a prophetic dream. This hints at a 21st-century remake of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 but with a modern twist.
You may have heard that Russian warships are officially in Cuban waters—about 100 miles from the south of Florida—and this prophetic dream just two weeks before may reveal what the enemy is planning next.
Vanessa Angelini, a prophet in my church, Awakening House of Prayer in South Florida, came to me with a dream that we’ve been pondering and praying about. When the news of the Russian warships came, we realized we couldn’t wait any longer to release this. I am submitting to you for consideration and for prayer.
Summary of the Dream:
This is the summary of the dream:
I was standing outside a big arena with a group of people that I know. There were big crowds and long lines to purchase tickets at various ticket counters.
Suddenly, I noticed a group of men to my left who were rude and rowdy. They were moving closer and closer to me, cutting ahead of people in line. They clearly wanted to get into the arena first. These men were tall—over seven feet tall—and extremely muscular. They were like giants and very loud, like when Goliath was shouting at the Israelites in the valley.
These giants behaved in a violent manner and spoke with a Russian accent. I grew up around Russians, so I know that accent well.
One of the giants bumped into me. I looked at him with a “What are you doing?” expression on my face. He started making threats. The next thing I knew, he picked me up and was about to throw me down to the ground when the scene changed.
In the next scene, I was running toward a familiar house to warn everyone what was about to happen. There was a woman there, and I warned, “The giants are coming! Where is Sam?”
When I received no response, I repeated the question several times: “The giants are coming. Where is Sam?” Finally, she pointed to a room down the hall. I tried to find the room, but I could not find Sam anywhere. I returned and asked the woman again, “Where is Sam?”
I walked down the hallway again and saw a room with the door halfway open. When I looked inside, I saw a man in his late sixties sitting on a chair watching a black-and-white TV from the 1960s era. I also saw a man lying on the bed with his back toward me and a four-year-old child sitting on the edge of the bed.
I walked into the room and said, “Where is Sam? The giants are coming! We need to get the guns.” The man sitting in the chair got up to get the guns, and I said, “No, we need Sam.”
It turns out, Sam was the one lying in the bed sleeping.
I said, “Why is he sleeping? Wake him up!” Finally, Sam woke up and went to get the guns. Uncle Sam woke up just in time to rally a defense.
When I woke up from the dream, I was startled by all of this. The Lord caused me to focus on Sam, which is my uncle’s name in the natural. In this dream, I was trying to wake up my uncle Sam, who was asleep. Also note my uncle Sam served in Vietnam.
Insights into the Dream
That is the end of the dream. Here are some prayerful insights into the dream:
Uncle Sam is a nickname given to the United States in 1813. He is usually depicted as a man with a white beard, stars-and-stripes suit, tall top hat, and blue jacket. In a portrait used as a recruiting tool for World War I, Uncle Sam is shown pointing with the words “I Want You For The U.S. Army” on the poster.
Again, in the dream, Uncle Sam was asleep. People were gathering at stadium events, enjoying their lives. While the Russian Giants were plotting and planning, America was sleeping.
What about the giants? History tells Frederick William I of Prussia (1688-1740), who was obsessed with everything big and tall. One of his famous quirks was creating his own personal regiment of extremely tall men, known to history as the “Potsdam Giants.” One of the tallest giants was 7’1”. Prussia includes territory that is now Russia, Germany and Poland. The giants are coming.
According to Newsweek, footage released by the Russian Defense Ministry showed the frigate Admiral Gorshkov and nuclear-powered submarine Kazan sailing into Havana Bay, about 100 miles south of Florida. They were not carrying nuclear weapons but were armed with Zircon hypersonic missiles and Kalibr cruise missiles.
Could this be a modern twist on the Cuban Missile Crisis brewing off the shores of Florida? Moscow has defended its four-ship fleet presence as part of routine military drills conducted with allies. The Lord told me many years ago, “Don’t trust the bear.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said of the event, “I’m not the commander-in-chief, but if my responsibilities were different, that would not be something that we would allow to be happening. I think it’s really concerning that under this administration, they’ve put out a posture of weakness that has invited more aggressive actions from our adversaries.”
Remember, in the dream, Uncle Sam was asleep.
Who was the child sitting on the bed? I believe he represented the future generation of children in America.
Another thing that stands out is the 1960s television that she saw in the dream. The man in the chair was intently watching something on an old black-and-white television.
Could it signal something that like a replay, of sorts, of the 1960s confrontation? The Cuban Missile Crisis spanned 13 days, from October 16 to October 28, 1962. The confrontation goes down in history as the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war.
Could we be on the verge of World War III? Clearly, we have been for some time. Since Uncle Sam is not objecting to Russian warships off our coast, we must take authority in the spirit.
When the news came out about the Russian warships, Cindy Jacobs said, “In praying about this, I received what should be an answer that is apparent to all. The word I received was “positioning”. Positioning for what? A war. Literally, on our own doorstep, so to speak. The people of the United States, the Russian people, the Cubans, and the world do not want WWIII. Many lost lives of innocent young people are among the terrible consequences that occur in war. This current situation could be a case of saber-rattling, but we want that to subside.”
We need a great awakening. I am calling all of our Awakening Prayer Hubs leaders to take a stand in prayer, all intercessors all over the world to take a stand in prayer, and all wartime intercessors to rise up! Russia is clearly sending a message. While this may not lead to World War III, we are edging closer. We must stay awake.
We need to pray:
- Pray that Uncle Sam wakes up.
- Pray that any military maneuvers from the Russian “giants” are exposed and foiled.
- Pray for the protection of America’s porous borders.
- Pray against the ignition of World War III.
- Pray for wisdom for U.S. leaders and their allies.

Message: Veronika West Date: June 17, 2024 Source: Elijah List
A note from Veronica West: This prophetic word, originally released in 2021, is once again coming to the forefront, and Holy Spirit is bringing it to our attention. Please keep in mind friends, there is no reward in being mere spectators of the Word, but we must be partakers. We must war with the Word. Dreams and visions are portals to divine possibilities.

“Joker Biden’s Balancing Act with the Queen of Hearts, Kamala Harris, and the Stolen Crown of the King!”
Yes, the title is a mouthful, but it encapsulates the essence of the dream. Bare with me!
So, last night (January 16, 2021), I was woken up by a sudden jolt, and my heart was racing. As I sat up in bed, fully awake, I began to cry out to the LORD to reveal His heart to me concerning the nations.
As I prayed fervently, I heard the Father whisper, “If you ask Me for bread will I give you a stone? Or if you ask Me for a fish, will I give you a snake?” (see Matthew 7:9–10). As I heard the Father’s question, I immediately answered, “No Father!” and a peace filled my heart. I lay back down to sleep. As I fell back to sleep I had a powerful dream where I found myself standing in the midst of a massive circus tent. As I stood in this strange place in the dream, I could see large crowds of people sitting in the stands of the circus.
The atmosphere in the dream was filled with a great expectancy, and I had a sense in the dream that I was about to watch something very significant unfold before me.
The Throne, the Three-Legged Stool, and the Lion
Now, as I stayed waiting and watching in the dream, suddenly two bright spot-lights came on, flooding the circus arena with light. I looked up, and suddenly I saw, in the distance, what looked like a throne – a beautiful gold throne which was covered in glistening, red velvet.
As I drew closer in the dream to the throne, I saw that both the arm rests and the thick legs and feet of the throne looked like that of the legs and paws of a lion. The four feet of the throne, which looked like the four paws of a lion, held four large balls that looked like the globe of the earth.
Now, by just looking at the throne in the dream, I could tangibly feel both the power and the authority that the throne represented.
Suddenly in that moment in the dream, I heard these words, “The throne of the Lion King!” When I heard those words, suddenly I noticed another chair which was brought to my attention in the dream.
As I looked at the other chair, I saw that it was a three-legged stool (which looked almost like a high standing bar-stool). Now, as I looked at this strange three-legged stool, I knew by revelation that this was also a “type of throne,” but as I drew closer to it, I heard the words, “Demonic throne of the darkness!”
I stepped even closer towards this strange looking “throne,” and I immediately noticed a large triangular shape engraved upon the seat of the three-legged stool; in the middle of the triangle was an eye. As I looked at the triangle and the eye, I heard these words, “A love triangle… and the eye of Leviathan.” (Photo via Unsplash)
As those words echoed loudly in the spirit realm, I heard these words, “The triangle of Obama, Biden and Harris.” Then again I heard, “A love triangle and the eye of Leviathan…”
Important note: Please keep in mind, I am not speaking of flesh and blood, but rather of demonic spirits that are at work through people!
I believe these words were speaking prophetically about “a demonic threefold cord” at work; I see the spirits of Jezebel, Leviathan, and Ahab.
I knew by revelation in the dream, that what I was seeing was the “Throne of the One World Order,” and the “all-seeing eye” that was engraved upon the seat of the three-legged stool was the eye of the dragon!
I was standing, looking, and listening intently in the dream, when suddenly the noisy crowd went completely silent (and you could have heard a pin drop). The atmosphere in the dream shifted, and a tangible sense of the fear of the LORD filled the circus tent.
I looked around about me to see what was happening, and I saw a large male Lion with a dark and heavy mane walk slowly into the arena. Following closely behind him was a man who was dressed in a purple robe, and he held in his hand what looked like a kingly scepter.
I watched as the beautiful and majestic Lion began to walk around the borders of the arena, and the man who was dressed in a kingly robe walked towards the gold throne.
I stayed watching in the dream, finding it hard to take my eyes off of the Lion. I could see that the eyes of the Lion were fixed upon the King as he went and stood beside his throne.
The Joker Biden and the Queen of Hearts
The King took His place at the throne, and suddenly the crowd began to roar with laughter. I could hear the sound of children shouting, when suddenly a joker/jester came rolling and somersaulting into the circus arena.
As I looked at the joker, I saw, to my astonishment, that it was Joe Biden, and I heard these words, “Joker Biden.”
As I looked at him, I saw that he was fully dressed in a strange green outfit with small bells on his shoes and bells on his hat. I looked again at the Joker, and I heard these words in the dream, “Watch, for now the Joker’s balancing act with the Queen of Hearts and the Stolen Crown of Triumph will take place!”
Now, as those words seemed to penetrate my inner most being, I saw the joker lift up a heavy gold crown into the air for the crowd to see. When he lifted the crown, the crowd went crazy.
I watched as the Joker began to somersault and roll around the arena with the gold crown in his hands, and then the joker began to run to and fro around the circus tent as if he was trying to find someone. The crowd was still going crazy, laughing, and jeering.
Then I heard the crowd begin to shout out to the Joker, “We want the Queen of Hearts! We want the Queen of Hearts!”
Now as this was all taking place, I could still see the King standing before his throne, and the Lion was still watching the King while walking around the borders of the arena.
Suddenly, I saw a woman run into the circus arena dressed like a Queen, wearing a long white dress and she was waving her hands to the crowds.
As I looked at her, I saw that it was Kamala Harris. She had two big, red hearts painted upon her eyes and one red heart painted upon her mouth. I heard these words, “Watch, for Kamala will seek to steal the hearts of the people as she wears the stolen crown of the King” (Picture from Fox News June 12, 2024 via Robin Johnson)
As I looked at her, she began to laugh and mock the King who was standing by his throne, and she began to mock him saying, “Look, a king without a crown! Look, a king without a crown!”
As she shouted those words, the crowds would roar with laughter and the Joker would hold up the stolen crown in his hands. But then suddenly, I watched as the Joker and the Queen of Hearts ran towards each other, and the Joker handed the gold crown to the Queen of Hearts, and she proceeded to climb upon the Joker’s shoulders.
The Balancing Act
Then I heard these words, “Watch, for now the balancing act will begin for those who seek to take the throne.”
As I heard those words, I watched as the Joker tried to balance the Queen of Hearts upon his shoulders, and the Queen of Hearts tried to balance the heavy gold crown upon her head.
I saw that in the midst of all the chaos that was taking place, the King remained standing before his throne and the Lion kept walking around the borders of the arena.
I watched as both the Joker and the Queen tried desperately to gain and maintain their balance as they walked together around the arena, but I watched as their movements became more and more challenging, especially for the Joker, as the long and heavy dress of the Queen kept falling down and covering the Joker’s face.
The dress blinded him and hindered him from moving forward easily. I saw that the Joker’s legs were quickly beginning to get weaker under the weight of the Queen and the heavy gold crown, and they began to stagger across the floor of the arena.
But as I watched this strange and almost undignified balancing act take place, I saw the Joker and the Queen of Hearts begin to make their way towards the three-legged stool/throne.
I knew by revelation that the objective, and part of their circus act for the crowds, was for the Joker and the Queen of Hearts to both sit upon the three-legged stool without falling and without dropping the stolen crown.
I listened as the crowds were screaming with delight as the Joker and the Queen of Hearts began to make their way towards the three-legged stool.
Now as they got closer and closer to the stool – which was very high – the crowds kept screaming as their anticipation grew more and more desperate for the Joker and the Queen to sit upon the three-legged throne.
But in the dream, as I looked at the high three-legged stool, I knew that the Joker would have to navigate very carefully on how he was going to begin to mount the stool with the Queen upon his shoulders.
If they were going to be victorious in taking their seat upon the three-legged throne, the Joker would have to be extremely careful not to drop the Queen and the Queen would have to be extremely careful not to drop the stolen crown!
An Unstable “Throne”
In the dream, as I remained watching, I saw the Joker and the Queen of Hearts begin to climb up the tall three-legged stool (One World Order Throne), and I noticed immediately that the stool was extremely unstable and not very strong. (Picture from Fox News June 12, 2024 via Robin Johnson)
The three-legged stool had no supports. There were no arms rests and no backing on the chair. This was going to make it extremely difficult for the Joker to mount the stool with the Queen and the heavy gold crown balancing upon his shoulders.
I could see that the weight of it all upon his shoulders was now really beginning to bear down upon him.
But… ha! I watched as the Queen of Hearts began to beat down upon the head of the Joker as he struggled desperately to climb upon the stool; his legs were shaking violently, looking like at any moment his knees were going to buckle underneath the both of them.
I saw the Queen of Hearts beginning to panic, all the while, trying to desperately hold on to the stolen crown, and the Joker looking more and more exhausted as he desperately tried to stay standing.
The crowds began to scream and shout louder and louder for the Joker to get on with the climb and that he dare not drop the Queen and the crown.
But then suddenly, I watched as both the Joker and the Queen of Hearts were able to mount the three-legged stool after all their desperate efforts. The Queen looked somewhat relieved, and the Joker looked half dead. But, no sooner had the Joker and the Queen – who was still trying to balance the heavy crown upon her head – began to sit down upon the three-legged stool/throne, I saw one of the legs of the stool suddenly break underneath them.
The Mighty Roar of the Lion
The heavy weight of the Joker and the Queen and the gold crown was too much for the three-legged stool, and I watched as the Joker and the Queen fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Suddenly the shouting, screaming crowds went deathly silent (you could hear a pin drop), and then I saw the gold crown, that had fallen to the ground, begin to roll across the floor.
I watched and listened in the utter silence of the arena as the gold crown rolled right across the floor, stopping at the feet of the King who was still standing before his throne.
Then suddenly, I saw the Lion stop and he looked at the King, and the King looked at the Lion, and then he bent down and picked up the stolen crown that the Joker had taken.
I watched as the King put the crown back upon his own head.
As the crown was laid upon the King’s head, suddenly the Lion gave out the loudest of roars that caused the ground beneath my feet to shake as the Lion roared. I watched as the King sat down upon his throne!
I woke up from the dream and I began to write down all I had seen and heard!
I decree: The power, fragility, and illegitimate authority of the one who sits on the throne of a One World Order is no match for the power, stability, and governmental authority of the One who sits on the throne of the Lion King of kings!

Editorial Special Section: Katie Dunstan: “Holy-Ghost Flood Zone”
Message :Katie Dunstan Date: June 13, 2024 Source: “Elijah’s List”
I was taken into a vision with the Lord where He showed me the continent of Australia. Then He zoomed out to show me the bigger picture of a world map. This let me know that this word was for nations.
I could see what looked like drip irrigation systems set up across the nations, like the ones you would find in a garden to water and grow large quantities of seeds into trees.
“Drip irrigation is the most efficient water and nutrient delivery system for growing crops. It delivers the water and nutrients directly to the plant’s root zone, in the right amounts, at the right time, so that each plant gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it, to grow optimally.” (Netafim, “Drip Irrigation”)
“A dripper system works by supplying nutrients from a reservoir through a network of tubes to irrigate your plants directly at the root zone.” (Futuregarden, “Using Dipper Systems to Grow Massive Plants”)
Then a picture of an intravenous (IV) fluid drip flashed through my mind. An IV fluid drip involves a small catheter and a saline-based electrolyte solution that contains selected vitamins and nutrients that the individual person needs. These essential nutrients and fluids are delivered directly into the bloodstream to re-hydrate or feed the body the nourishment it needs to recover and be strengthened.
Nourishing and Growing the Bride to Full Maturity
Then I heard the Lord say, “I am nourishing and growing My Bride into maturity and [the] fullness of her beauty.”
Suddenly Ephesians 4:13 ran through my mind: “…until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” I believe God is saying that He is pouring out a great measure of His Spirit to grow us up in unity, in the faith, and in the knowledge of Jesus so we can embrace maturity, attaining the fullness of Christ. (Photo via Freerange)
The Lord is the reservoir and source of all we need—all the water, vitamins, and nutrients we need to grow and become what we were created to be. He supplies all our needs so we can be nourished and strengthened to grow optimally in His Word and His ways. He is watering His Bride, nourishing her into greater maturity.
The Lord sees the hungry hearts of so many across the nations, and He is responding globally.
Covenant Community
The Lord spoke again: “I am cultivating covenant community amongst My beloveds.”
I believe this spiritual ‘IV drip’ will come through sound relational discipleship. The fathers and mothers, the sons and the daughters, will gather together around the table and around the campfire to feed on the fiery Word of God, which will accelerate growth and maturity in His Word and ways. This is a significant way that I see covenant community being cultivated and Kingdom culture being established cross-culturally—including every tongue, tribe, language, and nation (Revelation 5:9; 7:9).
Gather and Feast!
I hear the invitation to GATHER AND FEAST! Gather around the table of the Lord and feast on His Word. Devour the Word of God, memorize it, study it, cherish it.
This is part of His good plan to protect you and fortify you in the coming days. As deep darkness covers the people (Isaiah 60:2), His Word will be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path (Psalm 119:105).
He is reminding you that you are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14), and Christ, the hope of glory, lives in you (Colossians 1:27). Take every opportunity to share Jesus with those around your table.
In the vision, each drip emitter represented a watering hole, a gathering place for people to come and to drink of Him; a table to sit around and feast on His Word.
Holy-Ghost Flood Zone
I saw these drip emitters morph into the very words that I simultaneously heard the Lord speak: “HOLY-GHOST FLOOD ZONE.” These gathering places will be flooded with His PRESENCE, flooded with life-changing PRAYER, flooded with the POWER of the blood of Jesus, and flooded with an OUTPOURING of the Holy Spirit. They will become Holy-Ghost flood zones to fill people to overflowing with God’s truth and promises, which will recalibrate and propel them forward into the plans and purposes of God in the face of turmoil and adversity that the world will try to draw them into. (Photo via Pexels)
The gatherings around tables, around campfires, in sheds, in factories, in parklands, and in beachlands will be like watering holes where the hungry and thirsty can gather and enter into higher levels of deeper intimacy with the Lord. As He pours out His Spirit upon His sons and the daughters, many will break out in miracles.
Position Your Heart
So position your heart to be infused with life-giving nourishment from the Life-Giver, Jesus. Gather and connect in deeper relationship with Jesus and with one another. Search out the Scriptures to know Him more intimately. Stay in His presence. Pray without ceasing. As the Holy Spirit leads you, incline your ear to hear what the Spirit is saying, receive power from on high, know the power of the blood of Jesus, and be positioned to become a Holy-Ghost flood zone from which multitudes can drink of Him.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” (Matthew 5:6)
“[B]ut whoever drinks the water I give to them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:14)
“In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your older men will dream dreams. Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.” (Acts 2:17–18)

Message : Nita Johnson Date: June 23, 2022 Source : World for Jesus Ministries
I have great anticipation for what God is going to do. It keeps rolling through my heart all day long. I do not know what it is, but He is going to do something extra special.
I kind of had to chuckle when Jon said something like “The Lord has been busy doing small things in relation to the gatherings”. Small things – President Trump was a BIG thing! We have had lots of GOOD THINGS that have transpired that man said could never accomplish on his own. And greater is coming, God told me He would do it and He is going to do it!
So, rejoice, just rejoice, every day that you think about it, thank Jesus for what He is about to do!
DEAD TWIGS COME TO LIFE
Elizabeth brought me a bouquet of hydrangeas a couple of weeks ago. They are beautiful – and they last forever, it seems like. This time, she put old dead twigs in them from the flower shop. You are not going to believe this – to me it is a SIGN: she has these old dead twigs in the bouquet and they are SPROUTING living LEAVES. Now, how can this be? There is no root system to these twigs. They were dead twigs! But in this last week they have sprouted leaves ALL OVER THESE TWIGS. I really believe that it is a SIGN. I believe God is telling us: “it may seem dead, but new life is beginning to sprout.”
So, praise God! It makes you want to stand up and clap or dance!
I would like to share with you a message that has been brewing in my heart for a few weeks. It is because God wants to give the Church something that is so beautiful in His sight. You need to know what that means. Where He is going with it. Why He is doing this, so you do not fear it. Instead, you will jump into the river and swim in it! This article is about the Fear of the Lord and the Fire.
Prayer: Jesus, you are just so wonderful; You have had me in and out of tears all day, with such an expectancy for Your goodness. I always seem to really lack the vernacular that can depict my heart and my love for You. My respect and my trust are in You. It is just amazing to walk with You. Thank You for the privilege of doing this very significant thing in the healing of our nation. Because of your great plans for mankind and your great plans for the Church and for the nation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Rev. 4 (AMPC)
After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard addressing me like [the calling of] a war trumpet said, come up here, and I will show you what must take place in the future. At once I came under the [Holy] Spirit’s power, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with One seated on the throne! 3 And He Who sat there appeared like [the crystalline brightness of] jasper and [the fiery] sardius, and encircling the throne there was a halo that looked like [a rainbow of] emerald. 4 Twenty-four other thrones surrounded the throne, and seated on these thrones were twenty-four elders (the members of the heavenly Sanhedrin), arrayed in white clothing, with crowns of gold upon their heads. 5 Out from the throne came flashes of lightning and rumblings and peals of thunder, and in front of the throne seven blazing torches burned, which are the seven Spirits of God [the sevenfold Holy Spirit]; 6 And in front of the throne there was also what looked like a transparent glassy sea, as if of crystal. And around the throne, in the center at each side of the throne, were four living creatures (beings) who were full of eyes in front and behind [with intelligence as to what is before and at the rear of them]. 7 The first living creature (being) was like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature [was] like a flying eagle. 8 And the four living creatures, individually having six wings, were full of eyes all over and within [underneath their wings]; and day and night they never stop saying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty (Omnipotent), Who was and Who is and Who is to come. 9 And whenever the living creatures offer glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him Who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever (through the eternities of the eternities), 10 The twenty-four elders (the members of the heavenly Sanhedrin) fall prostrate before Him Who is sitting on the throne, and they worship Him Who lives forever and ever; and they throw down their crowns before the throne, crying out, 11 Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and dominion, for You created all things; by Your will they were [brought into being] and were created.
HEAVENLY EXPERIENCE
The Lord took me up into Heaven to relive this very scene, line upon line, three times throughout my Christian walk. I do not know how or why He did what He did. I was not praying for this. Each time I saw or heard it, what I felt was so amazing. Again, I do not know that there is really earthly vernacular that can adequately describe that which I experienced.
I could never thank God enough for what He did. One of the things that I learned through those three experiences was the profound love, worship, and holiness that is in Him.
Those in Heaven love Him profoundly, and He loves them. They are pure and holy because there is nothing left of the world that can touch them. Needless to say, He is pure and holy. They are worshiping Him in this state of holy perfection. Releasing something I do not even know how to describe except that it is so awesome, wondrous, and excellent. It is so majestic because He is majestic.
He has come to me for this purpose a few times. I cannot tell you how many. This experience He took me to Heaven, and I literally experienced it with the people. He was there in His majesty! Unless He says something or does something to enable you to be in that presence, you cannot. As a human being and as a created being, the awe of it just takes your breath away. The awe of His Majesty is beyond human expression.
There is a fragrance the Lord carries. I do not know how to describe the fragrance. He allowed me the privilege of experiencing the different fragrances of the Lord so many times. There is one that reminds me of the holy anointing oil that is here on the earth to be used in the worship of the Lord. This worship to His majesty is so fragrant that the fragrance alone is inebriating! His presences is also inebriating.
He carries His fragrance wherever He goes, but there is an added dimension when it is mixed with the worship of the Saints. We see that in the Book of Revelation. The angels are mixing the fragrance, and you have an entirely different combination. The fragrance is so beautiful and inebriating to the heart, spirit, and soul of the believer.
The inebriating fragrance fills that incredible place(heaven). The Bible describes things that happen in heaven. John looking on from a perspective of heave. When you are up there in it you realize that there are countless Saints and Angels present from all over Heaven. Being there worshiping Him like this with our brothers and sisters who have gone on is incredible. One of the things that it stirs is the Fear of the Lord. This is not an ungodly fear. This is a holy reverential fear.
The Fear of the Lord provokes and encompasses awe, reverence, adoration. You have a righteous confidence in His goodness. There is a desire to honor and worship Him. You also experience thankfulness, love and fear. It provokes contrition, holy awe, divine respect, and reverence. There we go again. There is also dread, wonder, and selfless love for the Majestic.
One writer wrote that this awe, this Fear of the Lord is an overwhelming feeling or sense of reverence. Holy fear and wonder produced and provoked by His holiness and Majesty, incomparable purity and perfection.
This is all true. You can look at some of my writings and find so much more about the Fear of the Lord. You will learn what the Fear of the Lord provokes in the heart of a believer who has it.
Personally, I would never want to live a day in this life without the Fear of the Lord.
He gave that to me. I won’t go into details (I have done it in other messages). He gave it to me at a very young time and season in my Christian walk. It has had a profound effect on my life. I have experienced a profound otherworldly living that was granted to me because of it.
THE AWARENESS OF THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD
It is like I am ever aware of His holiness. Sometimes I am aware of the spirit of the world, and different spirits and principalities that try to steal the heart of the Christian. I can’t stand their presence. It is not because I fear them. I don’t. You do not fear them if you have the Fear of the Lord. I cannot stand their presence because – there is no fragrance. It has a profoundly ugly odor.
THE HATRED OF SIN, THE LOVE OF PEOPLE
The feeling of sin is just dreadful. I hate sin. I really hate it. But I love people. The Angel of the Lord told Ricci that very thing when she was young in the Lord that the Lord hates sin, but He loves people. That has had a profound effect on her life as well.
You feel compassion and mercy for people whose lives are being directed by the evil Kingdom.
I am so thankful for the Fear of the Lord because that is a fragrance that has a profound holiness, sense of purity, and of perfection. It is incomparable. It is something every believer should want with all their heart and all their being. That is why He wants me to talk about it. He does not want you to be afraid. Desire it, so He can make you more like Him.
THE DARK CLOUD
The first time He allowed me to experience this glorious presence, He came to me in a unique way. Something I rarely talk about (because people have a problem with it, but it is in the Bible, and it is attributed to God, not to evil). I want to share with you that just before the Lord entered in this majestic presentation of Himself, a dark cloud appeared and stood between Him and me in the beginning.
I often wondered what that dark cloud signified. I felt like He told me that I was not yet ready to see the highest of His glory. He was too brilliant; my heart could not deal with it. Even my spirit man would have had difficulty.
THE REMOVAL OF THE CLOUD, THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS GLORY
He did remove that cloud before He left only for a moment. I did see Him. It was not at the height of His wondrous glory. It was not until recently, the glory that He allows me to see is getting more and more profoundly bright. It is at the point that it is so difficult to look at Him with my eyes, nowadays.
When the Bible talks about the glory that emanated from the Lord, I know that he who saw Him, said: brighter than any launderer could whiten them (Mark 9:3). He was wrestling for words to explain what he saw. If you look at the whitest white paper or a beautiful white snowfall, and the sun shining down on that beautiful snowfall, you still cannot touch the whiteness of His glory. It is so far higher than that.
He allowed this dark cloud between us in the beginning.
During that visit, that kindness made a way for Him to be able to remove that cloud so that I knew that I knew that I knew it was my Savior and Lord.
Let me share something a prophetess wrote.
I do not know that she calls herself a prophetess but she really is. I have known her from the past, and she has a beautiful walk with the lord.
She asked an angel what the dark cloud was? She too saw it.
The Fire and The Fear of the Lord (The Dark Cloud by Anna)
I asked, “What is the dark cloud about which my Father spoke, Elijah?”
He replied, “The dark cloud that surrounds God is actually the dense oil of the Spirit, a great good, a visible sign of the magnitude of the anointing, incomprehensible to mankind and therefore seemingly dark.
Ex 20:21 To the majority of mankind, He is hidden in darkness.
Light that they cannot see, emanates from Him. To many of His children He seems hidden, but the fire of His love is burning through the density of that oil now and will allow His children to see His love, His mercy, and his fatherly compassion. They can also see the startling reality of His holiness. This fire will burn all that is wood, hay, and stubble in the lives of His children. They must desire the fire and long for His holiness. His heart is turned toward them, and the fire of His love will reveal this.
The hearts of the children will long turn toward Him, who walks through the fire of purification, and rest in His arms.
As the enemy hates the fire, so must God’s children love it, for in and through the fire, they will see God.”
When I tell you that I will talk about the Fire of God and the Fear of the Lord, there you have it all compressed into the above excerpt.
The Fire of God begins to provoke and implement the cleansing of your inner man of soul and even your spirit. Your mind and heart are cleansed with it. Everything it touches is put in a cleansing process.
Now, it is not easy to go through that. I am not trying to tell you something that is not true. It is difficult to go through it. I have been there and done it. That fire is like fire burning through a log.
When I was child, I would go camping for a week with our class. When we lit the fire, it would burn into the center of our log over which we cooked. First, it would burn from there and consume the center, then it eventually incinerated the outer part of the log. Likewise, the Fear and Fire of God burns in the center of our souls and from there begin a sort of reconstruction with light and fire to provide a place for the Son of God to dwell.
Is not that exciting?
When it is getting difficult, do not run away from it. The more difficult it becomes the more adamant you must be that you are going to stay and let Him finish what He wants to do.
Decades ago, my daughter, Ricci had a spiritual experience. In the experience, she was lying in bed when her inner man caught on fire and it blazed and blazed until she was in pain. She tried to jump out of bed to protect herself from this pain, not knowing what it meant. When she jumped out of bed, she could not stand up straight because of the discomfort. When the fire had done its work, she suddenly stood up straight and experienced a strength she had never known in her whole life. The reason that happened was because the Spirit abode where once the weak spirit of man lived. This is a very good thing. That is why the Angel spoke the way He did.
You see the fire of God in revival. If someone has been baptized in the Fire of God, and you sit under their ministry, although revival may or may not break out. If you sit under the teaching, you know you have met God. It is just different. I do not know how to describe it. I have been used in revival in the past. It affects those in the meeting and those being used. It is amazing. God be glorified!
He is so different than we are Church. He expects a lot, but He gives so much more than He expects. He will empower and enable us to do and be all we need to be to walk these things out and let Him perfect the work that He is doing.
This place of the Fear of the Lord that I shared with you in Revelation 4 – Oh, my brothers and sisters, the Bible (in the book of Revelation) talks about the way John saw the Lord Jesus Christ,” He was like fire from His feet up to His waist, and waist up to His head, this glorious fire.” When He is at this highly exalted state, I can hardly bear it. It is so painful but so divine.
At this highly exalted state, He is depicting the Father above. He is emanating His Person. He is revealing the Father’s Personage. If you are standing near when He is in that state, the glory is so great. Oh, my goodness, it is so great. I have been there, done that, and I know what I am writing about.
His presence consumes you. You are divested of self and filled with His glory.
Filled with His glory! Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lamb,Holy is the Great I AM, glorious wonder! The majestic of all that is!
If He invites you into such a relationship. By all means, do not say ‘no’ to the purification and training of walking in that place. When He is done and He brings you into Union, you live in Heaven while here on this earth. He took me there. He told me that He has put me there. He takes me places when I intercede for Him. When I say He takes me places, across continents. He has purified me to the point where He is able to do that.
It is not my glory, it is His. We could never in ourselves do something like that to ourselves. Oh God! He wants you to know it is the most glorious way to live in this life. Do not ever say, no keep saying yes. Give me grace Lord to say YES to Your glory. He will!
I love my team. They are beautiful people. I love my daughter. I adore her. I love her hunger for the Lord.
It is a wondrous life, nothing to fear. God is love, and He loves you more than you could ever love Him.
I am lost in Him right now.

Editorial Special Section: Andrew Brunson: Launch the “Türkiye-Israel” Chinese Mission!
Information: Andrew Brunson Date: June 7, 2022 Source: Impact Chinese Translation: Jerusalem Kingdom Foundation Chinese Prayer Hall
Editor’s Note: This article is the appeal of the Turkish Apostle Pastor Andrew Brunson to the Chinese church! In 1993, Andrew Brunson and his wife Nolin responded to God’s call and went to Turkey, the world’s largest unreached gospel field for missionary work. After 23 years, they founded churches, trained disciples, assisted refugees and established prayer hall ministries. In 2016, Pastor Andrew was held in a Turkish prison for two years after being falsely accused of being a terrorist. Thanks to the intercession of Christians around the world and significant political pressure from the U.S. government, including negotiations with President Trump, he was dramatically released in 2018 and invited to the White House to pray with President Trump!
First of all, I want to thank every family member who prayed for me when I was in jail. I know many Chinese family members pray for me. When I heard that many Chinese family members were praying for me, I actually felt very ashamed, because I knew that many of Chinese were still in jail for the sake of the gospel, and actually prayed for me. Many people who are persecuted in the name of the Lord are strong, but I feel that I am very weak. I believe God used my incident to draw nations to pray for Turkey because there is a deep spiritual war in Turkey.
In the past history of the church, we have never heard of a person who had so many brothers and sisters pray for him together. I think God for taking this opportunity to ask so many people to pray for Turkey because Turkey’s strategic and spiritual position is very important. Because Türkiye was the leader among all Muslim countries during the Ottoman Empire. I believe we will see in the near future that these prayers will bring important and fruitful results.
The Current Phenomenon of Missionary Work
In 2011, I was moved for the first time to come and pray for Chinese missionary work. After I read a book called “Heavenly Man” by Brother Yun, I prayed to God: O Lord! Please allow me to be the person who helps the Chinese people enter their destiny.
I would like to share a few current missionary phenomena first, and then talk about the topic I want to share. The United States has always been a very important place for sending missionaries, but I believe that the power of sending missionaries will become increasingly diminished in the future. Of course, this was all in God’s foreknowledge. God knew what the United States would experience. At the same time, God also raised up other countries to send missionaries. Of course, the Chinese play a key role in this, especially the “Return to Jerusalem” movement.
No matter what you call this “Back to Jerusalem” Movement , I have never seen a movement take off on such a large scale in a country. Even though the Chinese have accepted this calling and destiny, and the gospel has been spread back to Jerusalem for many generations, the Chinese have not yet truly exercised this destiny and calling . I know that we already have many Chinese preaching in the mission field, but we have not been able to send out thousands of missionaries.
- The first important point I want to share is this: the area of missionary sending in the United States has gradually declined.
- The second point is that the Chinese nation is taking on this destiny and calling.
- The third point is about the One Belt and One Road Initiative by mainland China. We know that the Chinese government allows many countries along the One Belt and One Road to do business with China by providing infrastructure. I know that although there is a lot of negative news happening from this One Belt and One Road Initiative, God can save this matter. I believe that God also uses China’s One Belt and One Road Initiative to actually open a door for the movement to return to Jerusalem. I believe that ten to fifteen years ago, it was difficult for Chinese people to travel to Muslim countries. However, due to the efforts of the Chinese government and the One Belt and One Road Initiative, these Muslim countries are all open to the Chinese. The Chinese government has effectively opened the door for the movement to return to Jerusalem.
- The fourth point is persecution within mainland China. In the book of Acts, after Stephen was killed, there was great persecution in Jerusalem. The Bible tells us that the Christians in Jerusalem fled to all the nations. They fled Jerusalem not with the intention of preaching the gospel. They left just to escape persecution, so no matter where they settled, they began to live there. They fled Jerusalem and settled in various places, not because they were moved to deliver the Great Commission, but in any case, after they landed, they also brought the kingdom of God there, so many churches were established. Even though the laws and regulations in society are not set up for Christians and are all evil regimes, I believe that God will save and turn everything around in the process.
Entering the “Back to Jerusalem” Movement
I would like to take this opportunity to encourage my family mell in China to think about it from a different perspective. Is this a way of God to force us to enter the “return to Jerusalem” movement ? This movement has not been able to really start in the past few decades. . I look forward to seeing the pastors and pastors in this country encourage your young people to start missions now, because persecution is coming, before the door is closed. Perhaps this persecution or pressure became the driving force for those who had no intention of missionary work to be sent out. We long to see thousands of Chinese entering the Muslim world. I feel like in God’s time, all of these things aligned.
The United States has gradually declined in this area of missions. The movement to return to Jerusalem has been given to the Chinese for a long time, but there has been no way to start it. The Chinese government’s One Belt and One Road policy has given many Chinese the opportunity to enter Muslim countries. Coupled with China’s current intensification of persecution of the church, it may be possible to promote it. Thousands of young missionaries left China.
So where can they go?
They will go to all the countries along the Belt and Road , and most of the countries on the Belt and Road are Muslim. In God’s timetable, we can see that now is the destiny for the Chinese to enter and return to Jerusalem.
I believe that in the days to come, it will be increasingly difficult to do missions in the traditional way.
First of all, it will become increasingly difficult to leave the country, and moreover, these Muslim countries no longer welcome the traditional missionary model to enter their countries. For example, the current Turkish government has canceled the visas of many missionaries. We need to use a new way to enter the field. I would like to suggest to our young missionaries that, for example, you can come to Turkey for missionary work.
Turkish universities will welcome Chinese students. When young Chinese people go to Turkish universities to study, you need to learn Turkish for one year first, and then spend 4 years at a Turkish university to get your degree. During these four or five years of studying at the university, these young students, They can bear witness among their classmates and friends. Perhaps some of you parents or young students may ask: Why should I study in a Turkish university?
I think in many Asian traditions, students hope to go to the best university, get a degree, and get the best job. So I ask you: Are you willing to sacrifice your right to go to the best university to attend this inferior university in the name of the Lord? And I believe that when you get a college degree, you will find that it is not a sacrifice of your rights, but a better start for you.
Because international students who graduated from Turkish universities are very valuable assets in this market, they will become the bridge connecting Turkey and the Chinese. After these students graduate, they understand the Turkish language and Turkish culture. Turkish companies that want to do business with the Chinese will want to hire them; and Chinese companies that want to do business with Turkey will also want to hire them. Moreover, the Chinese government encourages Chinese companies and businessmen to set up companies in Turkey, because Turkey will become a very important hub along the Belt and Road Initiative. Therefore, when these Chinese Christian students graduate in Turkey, they will become a very important asset to Turkey.
They have the opportunity to work for Turkish or Chinese companies, or they can even set up their own business. And they can invite other young Christian students to come to Türkiye and come under their cover. From this we can see that thousands of Chinese missionaries will have the opportunity to stay in Turkey for a long time.
We actually have a small company in Turkey that helps these international students apply for schools or various things. Although I myself have no way to return to Turkey, I still hope to see thousands of Chinese missionaries go to Turkey.
The deepest feeling in my heart is that I long to serve the Chinese people and enter their destiny . I don’t have a big burden on the churches in mainland China, but my biggest burden is seeing God sending Chinese missionaries into the most difficult places for Muslims.
Lessons Learned While in Prison
Next, I want to share the lessons I learned while in prison.
I think one of the most important things for a missionary to survive in a difficult field for a long time is to learn to deal with his own weaknesses and failures. When our missionaries are sent out, you will often encounter difficulties and even failures. My understanding of the churches in mainland China is that the churches in mainland China often continue to win in the face of persecution. However, the stories I read about Chinese Christians who were imprisoned did not help me to be better prepared when I was imprisoned.
The reason why I say this is because I read the self-reports of these Chinese brothers and sisters who were imprisoned, which made me have high expectations for going to prison. Because when I read their autobiographies, I found that they were not weak in the face of difficult challenges and persecutions. I think maybe the Chinese are a very strong nation. When they face difficult challenges, they are always able to overcome them without showing their weakness.
Before I go to jail, if someone tells me: You are going to jail! Of course I will be afraid. At the same time, I also feel that I am quite ambitious, because I have read the autobiographies of these brothers and sisters in prison in China, and I feel that I can do it, and I can withstand such a disaster . And I personally think that I am a very strong missionary, because it is actually very difficult and not easy for us to preach and establish churches in Turkey.
I’ve had death threats, bomb threats, and I’ve even been shot because of it. So we had already calculated the price to pay, but when I actually sat in jail, I immediately collapsed . I was arrested at the same time as my wife, but she was released two weeks later. I was placed in solitary confinement and that’s when I started to break down. I was filled with fear because what would I do if they never released me?
Because this fear affected my endocrine system, I couldn’t even sleep. While I was dozing off, I suddenly woke up again. I was locked up in a solitary room without being able to sleep, which was a devastating situation. I was placed in solitary confinement, not knowing what my future would be, and later the Turkish government sentenced me to three life sentences (life imprisonment). I was worried that I might not be able to see my wife and my children again.
In prison, my language, culture, and country were completely isolated. After some time in solitary, I was placed in a very crowded cell. I think the hardest thing about being in quarantine is that I feel like my confidence has been quarantined. During this two years in prison, the only Christian who could stay with me was my wife.
When I was confused and hesitant, there was no Christian around me who could pray with me or even help me understand these mysteries. And I spent a long time with a group of Muslims with very strong beliefs, so you can imagine that the spiritual environment was very difficult. But I also understand that this is forced.
Conceptually, I think I know what it means to be forced. Emotionally, I wanted God to save me from it, but I knew factually that I was indeed in the midst of persecution. However, there were some circumstances that I could not understand that caused my spiritual collapse.
I couldn’t feel God’s presence at all, which was very scary to me . Because, I have high expectations for myself, I should be able to feel the presence of God. I feel that even when I am weak, I should still be able to become strong. Even when I was sad, I thought there would be a supernatural joy in my life.
But, in fact, I have no ability at all. I was weak and joyless. I was broken in every way. Before that, I spent a long time following God with all my heart. This is also the most important key in every ministry I do, which is that I follow God with all my heart and continue to experience God. And I have been teaching our loving Heavenly Father how good and wonderful His heart is.
But while I was in prison, I felt absolutely no sense of God’s goodness. And my spiritual life is getting worse and worse. I said: Father! You introduced yourself as our father, but I don’t think I would ever treat my son that way. Because in my most difficult moments, You took away all my feelings for You.
Feeling abandoned by God.
Of course, I can say that God has not abandoned me, but in terms of my senses and environment, I feel that God has abandoned me. When I look back now, I see God’s grace, but that grace was something I couldn’t feel at the time. In addition, I have read before about how brothers and sisters in mainland China experienced the glory of God when they were in prison, and how they were still happy in such a difficult environment. I’m just thinking, what’s wrong with me?
My heart is deeply hurt.
I have a great disappointment in God because You have not helped me. These deep disappointments made me doubt God; my wounded heart also began to make me doubt God, and then made me angry towards God.
I was so surprised that I began to doubt the reality of God’s existence.
And when I began to doubt the reality of God, I began to cry bitterly. Because in the past 24 years in Turkey, Lord! I preach your gospel, I even lead Muslims to be baptized, and I lead them to know you, but now I actually doubt your authenticity.
So I began to discipline myself to declare God’s truth every day.
The first truth I want to declare is: Lord! I believe that You are real and You continue to help me in my life. My spiritual situation has dropped from the previous high to the lowest point. I must force myself to declare every day that God is real and is constantly involved in my life.
And when I made up my mind to declare the real existence of God, I began to doubt God’s character.
For example, I believe that You love the whole world, but I don’t believe that You love me because I can’t feel Your love. And I don’t know for sure, are you really a good God, are you really a faithful God, are you really a God who keeps promises?
The hurt in my heart changed my expectations of God because God didn’t give me what I wanted and He didn’t give me what I wanted. The reason why I want to share this part is that I believe that every family member will experience this in their life journey; especially when you are under great pressure, this will happen to you. In fact, Jesus reminds us that this is one of the great dangers we will face when He says the love of many will grow cold.
In Matthew 24 we can see what God said to His people. Specifically, after God’s people are offended, their hearts become cold. This is a normal reaction for most people. When something bad happens, you will naturally say: God! How could you let such a thing happen?
I think this is a big question. Most people will say, Lord! You are so powerful, why don’t you step in? Here Matthew 24 tells us that among God’s people, because these lawless things have increased, the love of many has gradually grown cold .
God brings judgment because of the evil in the world, and many people will be offended by it . Although God’s people are not under this judgment, the environment in which we live and the people of the nations who are in this judgment will cause offense to us; because of this increasing sense of persecution, the hearts of many brothers and sisters will be offended. Lord! How could you let this happen to me? I have always been your obedient child.
And in these difficult situations, I believe many disciples felt that they had been abandoned by God. I believe this is possible for Christians in mainland China. We hear mostly about Christians who have overcome in prison, but rarely about Christians who have failed in prison.
The world will become increasingly difficult for Christians; furthermore, in the future of missionary work, there will be many opportunities for God’s people to be offended. I want to talk about this, especially those disciples who were filled with the Holy Spirit, or had special experiences with God, or those who often experienced victory in their walk with God.
When your expectations are always victory, victory, optimism, and positivity, how will you face it one day when you fall? Or, when you send other missionaries out, they successfully establish churches and develop ministries, but when you go out to do it yourself, they fail, which will be a great feeling of frustration.
Yes, sometimes, when we shout loudly, the wall collapses, this is our victory, we will tear down the high wall; but sometimes, when you shout loudly, the wall does not collapse, but in this, there will still be victory. .
Perhaps this victory does not lie in the collapse of the wall, but in your heart. The victory in our hearts may be very precious to those who are in difficult, even weak, and falling situations.
When my heart was cold, God stepped in and changed my heart. I was at a very low point in my spiritual life, and I was even suicidal. God gave me a vision of a “valley of trials.” Of course, God will not take the initiative to let us encounter difficulties, but God will use difficult circumstances to test us.
In this vision, I saw that this valley of trial was filled with the dry bones of many Christians who had failed in trials. This vision was not about whether he was saved or not, it was about their broken relationship with God. In the midst of difficult trials, they lost their close relationship with God.
This is really the grace of God, which keeps letting me see this vision, so I shed tears and cried to God: Lord! Please help me, I don’t want to be a dry bone in the valley of trial. So I made up my mind that although I could not fight for my freedom, I would fight for my relationship with God. I needed to fight for my relationship with God because I was losing it.
So I decided to put aside my demands and expectations of God . I made such a decision from my heart, not from my emotions, because I was almost on the verge of collapse emotionally at the time, but from my will.
Oh God! Whether You do it or not. I will follow you with all my heart.
Even if You no longer make me feel Your presence, I will still follow You.
Even if You are silent and don’t say a word to me, I will still follow You
Even if You no longer show Your goodness and kindness to me, I will still follow You.
Even if You let me spend the rest of my life in prison, I will still follow You.
I want to follow You.
I put all my expectations and demands on God aside; I made up my mind to focus on God with all my heart. When I was at my weakest, I could barely lift my head. Maybe I could lift my head a little, but even if I moved my gaze slightly, the whole world would change. Because if you move toward God, even a little bit, you will have a greater change than if you move away from God. When I turn even a little bit like this, my position enters an acceptable position.
God is building me up again.
This first year in prison was a time of being torn down; but starting from the second year, God built me up again. In these extremely difficult and weak times, I constantly made up my mind to face God and not turn away from Him.
The point is that no matter how low you are or how difficult the environment is, you can face God; no matter how frustrated or disappointed you are, you can make a choice, even if it is just a little bit, just face God. , can change a lot of things.
Another thing that helped me a lot was that I imagined having a safe. In this imagination, I locked all my doubts, questions, and even accusations against God into this safe.
I said to God: Lord! Only You and I have the right to open this safe. If You want to open this safe so that my questions, my questions, my accusations can be dealt with, you can open it. But according to my will, I have made up my mind not to open this box. I no longer allow these accusations, questions, and questions to have any place in my mind. I reject them. This key is here. These questions, accusations, and questions of mine do not need answers, but I still want to have a relationship with You.
Of course, I still encounter problems or doubts from time to time, but I quickly say to these questions: Leave me and go to the safe. I give up my right to know. I don’t need to have all the answers, but I do have to have confidence. Because of this decision, the chains were broken, the doubts and doubts were released from my heart, and I began to receive God’s Word.
I have been focusing on my questions about God, and slowly changed to the fact that God also has questions about me.
I doubt God’s love and God’s faithfulness, but God’s love and God’s faithfulness are never doubted, because He does exist and never changes; rather, my love and my loyalty are put to the test. .
And God also has questions about me.
Andrew. Will you continue to love Me? Even if you can’t experience My love, will you continue to love me?
Andrew, will you continue to be loyal to Me? Even if you don’t feel My faithfulness .
So I believe that God will test His people, and the purpose of testing is to see whether your heart is offended.
God tests us through offense
God is willing to offend us .
I have seen many examples in the Bible, one of which is John the Baptist. While John was in prison, Jesus was performing miracles and announcing the coming of the Kingdom of God. Jesus had various powers to make the blind see and the lame walk…but He did not use this power on John. Jesus answered John’s question using a jigsaw puzzle, but made no mention of the fact that John was in prison.
Jesus did not answer: Blessed are those who are not offended by me. The most dangerous situation for John the Baptist was that he might be offended during a disaster. John the Baptist was actually the greatest servant of God. Jesus said that there is no one greater than John the Baptist in the kingdom of heaven.
But at this point in John the Baptist’s ministry, he had entered a dangerous stage where he was likely to be offended. So Jesus reminded John to be careful not to walk such a long way and be offended and abandon God. Jesus was very powerful. He could help John the Baptist in various ways. He could talk to him, visit him, and even release him from prison. But Jesus did nothing. He only reminded John that you should be careful that your heart is not offended.
Another gospel story is that Jesus told His disciples, unless you want to drink My blood and eat My flesh, you have nothing to do with Me. At that time, many people were offended and then left Jesus.
In fact, if I were Jesus, I think I would probably say: Wait a minute and let Me explain further, you have misunderstood Me. But Jesus didn’t do that and sent them all away. Although they were offended, Jesus made no attempt to draw them back.
Another story about a woman whom Jesus calls a dog. And this woman was not offended by being called a dog. She said, okay, even if I were a dog, I would not leave You. Because of her faith, both she and her daughter were healed. This woman overcame the offended heart, so how our hearts respond to God is important.
God is willing to test us by offending us, and then He is looking for those who can overcome the offense. He is searching. Even in the midst of hardship, pain, and doubt, He still persists in following God. God wants to gain these people.
I don’t understand why God doesn’t intervene more in our lives, or intervene more powerfully. And I believe that this is also a problem that every one of us in the ministry will encounter.
There was a Romanian priest who became my hero because he served fourteen years in prison under the Romanian communist government. He told people that some of the Christians who were in jail with him were going crazy.
I can understand that, because when I was in jail, I really felt like I was going crazy a lot. When I first heard that these Christians were going crazy in prison, I thought how could this be possible? God! How could You allow this to happen. Because the Bible says, My grace is sufficient for you. God should be able to give them enough grace to prevent them from going crazy, but it seems that God does not.
But this pastor said that these crazy Christians are beautiful before God. They were driven crazy because of their faith, and it was a beautiful sacrifice. And one day we will meet these people in heaven, and they will be crowned with great glory because of the sacrifices they made for their faith.
But from the world’s perspective, they are different. They went crazy and died, that’s all. God could have given them grace, but God did not. When I was in prison, I felt like the weakest person in the world. After I was released from prison, I read that there were many Christians in North Korea and China who had the same experience as me. What I mean is that among Christians, it is actually quite common to suffer and go to jail for the name of the Lord. But in this process, we experienced difficulties.
These experiences have left some Christians destroyed while in prison, and some left with eternal scars. Some disciples even felt so ashamed of their weakness and frustration while in prison that they even cut themselves off from the church.
God is faithful, God is love
I want to solemnly declare again: God is faithful and God is love.
This is a fact and we need to know it clearly. No matter what the situation is, no matter what the conditions are, I want to declare that God is faithful and God is love. And such confidence was given to a mother in Nigeria whose daughter was kidnapped and even raped by terrorists. I don’t know what God’s faithfulness and God’s love are like for this woman.
I cannot understand what God’s love and God’s faithfulness are under various circumstances. I don’t have a complete understanding of God’s faithfulness. However, I will continue to declare that this is a fact. God is faithful. However, God’s faithfulness may be different from what we expect.
This is the conclusion I came to, we will be broken, we will be weak, but God is faithful. Therefore, there is no guarantee of the outcome of the difficulties we encounter in our lives. We live in an unknown world. We don’t know when this difficulty or challenge will stop. Perhaps it will never stop. And this unknown feeling is really testing our hearts.
This phenomenon is real and applicable in persecution. However, the same is true in other situations. People often come to me to tell me about the difficulties and pain they have experienced, but they will say that my difficulties and pain are not as difficult and painful as what you have experienced. But I said, wait a minute, don’t think that. My difficulties cannot distance me from my relationship with God, and your difficulties cannot distance you from your relationship with God.
We are tested in different situations, but the center of the trial is always our heart.
One of my sons, when he was about to become a very advanced military personnel, was eliminated due to an accidental injury. A year later, my son began to open his heart to us and share his experiences. He also fell in love with the same master at that time! Where are you? Haven’t you always helped me? Isn’t this the path you want me to take? Then why would you let such a thing happen. I said to my son: Son, you have the same problems, the same doubts, and the same frustrations that I had when I was in prison.
Look at the two situations, they are completely different situations. I am in prison, and he has his dream shattered, but they both have the same problem in their hearts. So every Christian, you will have experienced difficulties in life, whether in prison or in various situations. Or even, losing a loved one, having a broken relationship, or going through a difficult illness. Or maybe there is a great setback in your ministry, and you will say: Lord! Where are you?
I meet many missionaries who feel like they are failing in their mission field. A very close missionary friend who serves God faithfully and with all his heart. But his result turned out to be bankruptcy.
During these difficult processes, we often turn to brothers, sisters and even the church for support, but there is a period in the whole process that you will feel is very dark. You may cry to God and say: Lord! Where are you? Jesus! where are you? O my shepherd! Love of my heart, where are you? Oh God! Why did you keep silent during the most difficult time in my life? Why did you leave me alone in the darkness? Why didn’t you step in?
To this day, I still don’t have answers to these questions, and maybe I never will. This is what I told my son and I don’t have the answer, I can’t explain to you why. But I can tell you what to do. So I think, more important than getting the answer is that you have to survive the trial. You have to be faithful.
Your loyalty to God is put to the test. But you have to hold on tight. And it is in these difficulties that your relationship with God is revealed.
My wife, had a vision. It is the story of Job. God sat down with Satan and discussed Job. Satan said: If you take away all the good things from Job, Job will turn away from you. And my wife felt in the vision that Satan said to God: If you take away this piece of Andrew’s feelings for you, Andrew will turn around and leave you. God said: Okay, Satan, then I will remove this intimate feeling that Andrew has for me from his life. You will see how Andrew responds.
I think an important part of my trial was that I couldn’t feel God or hear God’s voice. God wants to teach me to stand in the darkness. Continuously relying on Him, no longer relying on feelings or my situation, but relying entirely on Him.
Some people said to me, Andrew, the most important thing for you in the whole prison was to keep trusting God. And I’m not so sure myself. Or someone said to me, Andrew continues to believe in God. What they mean is that everything will be okay and God will save you. But nowhere in the entire Bible does it say that Andrew will be rescued from prison.
We often judge our experiences by their results. I know that I want to trust my God in my heart, not the results. In my mind, it is difficult to separate these two. But in our hearts, it’s important that we trust God, and that’s where I focus.
I said, I believe You are a good leader and I want You to lead my life. I don’t know, where will You take me? I don’t know what kind of hardships and challenges You want me to go through. But I want to say that You are a good leader. You will bring me into your kingdom. I don’t need to know or understand, I just need to rely on it wholeheartedly.
When I was in prison, one of my favorite passages was 2 Timothy 4:18 . Paul was in prison at the end of his life, and he knew that he was going to be beheaded. The Lord will deliver me from all evil and deliver me into His kingdom of heaven. So Paul was in a very depressed situation, and he was about to be beheaded. However, he declared that God would save him from all kinds of evil and enter his kingdom.
I rely on Jesus and I trust you Lord that you will carry me through this. When I look back, in the midst of my weakness and brokenness, Jesus kept my heart and He led me through it all. So I want to encourage everyone, Jesus promises that He will guard our hearts and lead us through all of this, so don’t let your hearts be offended.
If you feel there is something offended in your heart, root out the source. You must be determined not to let this offensive heart stand in the way of your relationship with God. No matter what the situation, I choose to keep my eyes on Jesus Christ. I will rely on Jesus to lead and guide me. I don’t need to know everything, I just need to rely on Him. He promises to lead me out of all evil and into His eternal kingdom.

- Finding Your Own Torah (Scroll of Life)
- We are in the midst of great storms, great destruction, and great destruction – but God will turn it into victory. God is faithful and in the Lord we can find a hiding place – a place of peace and rest when the storms arise. You will find the Lord’s hiding place. You will find the Lord’s safe place that the storm will not hold back. your victory
- You are developing a power you didn’t even know you had! When you weather the storm, you will be clothed in a new garment of glory. God is telling us that the tower of wind is unlocking and that we need to ride every storm in our lives. You don’t just hear this and say, “I’m going to ride the wind and wave, and God’s presence will be with me wherever it takes me.” Where.”
You are being restored to original settings
- You are being restored to original settings. Back before people had expectations of you, before you were told who you had to be and what you had to do. Before you are trained to fit into systems and circumstances that God never intended you to be in. Before you put the wrong armor on yourself. Before carrying multiple burdens became the norm. Before juggling and hustling become your daily routine. Before you look at everything with a survivor mentality, before anxiety becomes your morning breath. Before losing yourself becomes your nightly torture. Before the shipwreck and resentment over bad decisions. Before there are many ties that bind you and you obediently accept their clever manipulations. Before the deep trauma weighs down like a heavy blanket, before you feel the sadness that is so far from what you envisioned. can you see it? At this moment, restarting is more important than running. He is healing you so you can return to your true purpose and pure calling. Wouldn’t He…stay close to Him.
- “Now there is an invitation to you to enter the war room of heaven. I am inviting My people at this time into an unprecedented realm of divine intelligence and strategy, with supernatural wisdom and insight. I am raising up an offensive and The non-defensive bride. I invite you into the war room of heaven and let My Spirit teach you victorious warfare, strategic intercession and strategy, divine wisdom and discernment.”
- “Many have laid down their swords, and many have allowed the enemy to steal their authority. I remind you again, My people, that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to you in Me. I have authority, the enemy does not Authority. The only authority the enemy has is the authority that many have given up. Now is the time for them to take back their own authority in Me.”
- “For I am calling you, My people, to study My Word more deeply and to learn more deeply how My Word can be a weapon. I am leading you to stand deeper in My Word and My ways, And wield the sword of the Spirit. In this time of urgency, I call you to let me train your hands for war and teach your fingers for war ( Psalm 144:1 ). It is time for my victorious bride to truly awaken your consciousness. Come to the reality that you are living in heaven. I am exposing all the ways in which My Bride is living on the “bottom,” and the “compromise zone of authority” that keeps My Bride from stepping into and out of My world. Their calling. It’s time for My bride to rise up and learn how to fight like never before. It’s time for My bride to gain a deeper understanding of My spiritual armor. It’s time for My bride to rise up and prevail!”
- “My warrior, victorious, victorious Bride is rising. It is this time when I am shaking, separating, sifting, and exposing everything that stands in the way of the purity, splendor, beauty, and power of My Bride.”
- Difficulties are what reveal who you are/your identity. Be aware of situations that make you feel helpless and unable to cope. Refuse to be depressed in hopelessness and helplessness. Realize your potential in me, says the Lord. Remind yourself that you belong to Me, and when you trust Me to see you through, you will be able to do/perform all that is given to you. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. You are entering a new era in which solving puzzles will be easier than ever. Listen to My quiet, small voice to guide you and give you wisdom. Stay focused and work on one thing at a time so you don’t become overwhelmed. Become righteous, says the Lord. Psalm 23:3 He revives my soul and guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
- Be careful not to fall into pride and arrogance. The arrogant will be humbled, and the humble will be lifted up by me. Jesus was clothed in meekness and humility. Don’t think of meek people as weak. Tenderness means that you are relying entirely on Me and don’t feel the need to take matters into your own hands. Pride says, “I can do this myself; I have power over all things.” Satan fell for pride, and don’t let the same thing happen and be found guilty. 2 Corinthians 10:1 I, Paul, who am humble in the presence of you and courageous in my absence, appeal to you personally through the gentleness and peace of Christ.
- Beloved, this is the appointed time and season for supernatural breakthroughs for obedient children of God. The Lord is the rescuer who comes to save the righteous sons of God. The walls that have been keeping you from receiving what the Lord has promised are falling down, and this is a work of the Lord that will be wonderful in your eyes. “The proverbial walls of Jericho must fall,” says the Spirit of the Lord. Jericho is falling now. But, like Joshua and the Israelites, only submission to God’s will and obedience to His commandments can create the atmosphere for the miraculous breakthroughs you so desperately need.
- My dear, it is no exaggeration to say that time is of the essence. For all the nations and peoples on earth, the real enemy has arrived! But the Lord’s love is better than life, and He is working hard to push and arrange those who are willing to obey to enter the Body of Christ to withstand the disasters that the nations and people on earth will face next.
- Honey, you need a divine breakthrough! The walls of Jericho must come down so you can plunder the riches and take possession of the Promised Land. This is the year dreams come true. This is the year of the rainbow. This is the Kairos, the Year of the Lord. Now is the time to fight in the Spirit through prayer and fasting to gain your righteous inheritance and holy dwelling through Christ. This is the appointed time for the Lord to break down the bronze gates and iron bars, through the decree of the Anointed One and the appointed gatekeepers. I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “Only a few watchmen (gatekeepers) hold the keys to the House of David, which the Lord has given them, the golden keys with the authority to open and close the ancient gates.”
- There is much going on in the realm of the Holy Spirit at this critical time. God’s creation of humanity has reached an impasse and cannot move forward unless the Lord takes action. This year is a critical time, an appointed time for the Lord to take action, and the Lord is taking action. The Lord Spirit said: “Only those who are obedient will get the best land.” Even among believers there is a great difference going on, and those who have eyes to see and ears to hear are aware of it. The Lord’s obedient children are experiencing divine acceleration and advancement, propelling and positioning themselves into divine purpose and destiny.
- Beloved, don’t be like those who are entitled to prophecy but fail to receive it, or worse yet, fail to use it. Doors are opening and closing. Miracles are happening for some and others are missing out because of pride, arrogance, jealousy and stubbornness. Two days ago, while I was praying and ordering an ancient door to be opened, I suddenly heard a loud creaking sound, as if a solid door was opening. I feel that this door has been closed for a long time, like a century. I heard the Lord opening an ancient door. Glory to God in the highest! Beloved, doors are opening, doors are closing, don’t sleep like an ignorant person who doesn’t know God.
- In this extraordinary year, our extraordinary God is working extraordinary miracles. As God’s people, we are blessed to have access to prophecy and knowledge about the timing of our lives. Prophecy is a beacon on the road to divine destiny, and prophets are beacons anointed by the Lord Jesus the Messiah to guide us forward. Christ is the King of true prophets of God, for the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus. True prophets are His servants.
- Don’t take this opportunity lightly because your life can change in an instant. There is a battle to be fought at the breaking point, but the battle is the Lord’s. Just as Christ appeared to Joshua in Jericho and gave Him precise military strategies (spiritually) for the defeat and capture of Jericho that Joshua and the nation of Israel must strictly follow, so the Lord is now providing His obedient The people issued specific instructions and strategies to manifest the necessary miraculous breakthroughs granted by the mighty hand of the Lord.
- So pray until that changes. Christians, take up arms for these are war times and our weapons are not carnal.
- You have gained momentum/momentum and are making progress. Keep moving forward and refuse to let anything hold you back. I am your ever-present help in these times. Keep your head high and refuse to be overwhelmed/overwhelmed. Remember, take it one step at a time; move forward steadily, one day at a time.
- Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, although the earth changes, although the mountains are shaken to the center of the sea, although the waters in it roar and churn, and the mountains tremble due to the rising sea, we are not afraid.
Torah Highlights This Week
- Light up
- Levites
- second passover, second passover
- The pillar of cloud sets off
- Complaints abound
- Miriam slandered
- 70 men assisted Moses
God’s light shines on the showbread
- Numbers 8:2-3 Tell Aaron: When you light the lamps, all seven lamps will shine in front of the lampstand. So Aaron did this. He lit the lamp on the menorah and caused it to shine forward, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
- We need the spirit of wisdom and revelation
Levites trained for 5 years
- Numbers 4:3 clearly states: “From thirty years old to fifty years old, all those who come to serve in the tabernacle of the congregation are counted.” Levites must be thirty years old before they can participate in the tabernacle of the congregation. Service includes assisting the priests in moving and maintaining the equipment and utensils in the tabernacle.
- However, when it comes to Numbers 8:24, there is the following record about the service in the tabernacle : “This is how the Levites were: from twenty-five years old and older, they were to come and serve in the service of the tabernacle. Levites At the age of twenty-five, a person served as a student or probationary employee in the Tabernacle, accepting supervision or instruction from the older Levites. Only when he was thirty years old did he officially serve in the Tabernacle and be responsible for his own ministry jobs.
- During the five years of training, the young Levites had the opportunity to observe the work of the officially appointed Levites, learn the correct way to move the lampstand, showbread table, and altar, and learn where to place various utensils in the tabernacle. . In addition, there were other chores, such as clearing the tabernacle floor and assisting worshipers in offering sacrifices on the altar.
- Numbers 10:2-10 You shall make two trumpets of silver, hammered trumpets, to call the congregation together and to set the camp in motion. When this trumpet sounds, the whole congregation shall come to you and gather at the door of the tabernacle. If you blow a single branch, all the princes, the captains of the armies of Israel, will gather to you. When a loud sound is blown, all the camps on the east side will move out. When a loud sound is blown for the second time, all the camps on the south side will move out. They will set out with a loud sound.
- Numbers 10:11 In the second year of the second year, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud went up from the tabernacle of the testimony.
The first time we set off as a team, we only walked for 3 days.
- Numbers 10:33 The children of Israel departed from the mountain of the LORD and journeyed three days’ journey ; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went ahead of them three days’ journey to find a resting place for them.
- Numbers 10:34 They broke camp and moved forward, and the cloud of the LORD was over them during the day.
- Always be ready to move forward and be ready to set up camp at any time. Setting up camp after only advancing for three days is a big test. In this season, are we willing to completely hand over our schedule to God and let God make the decision?
From rest to rest
- Numbers 10:35 As the ark moved forward , Moses said, ” Arise, O LORD!” May your enemies be scattered! May those who hate you flee from you!
- Numbers 10:36 When the ark came to rest , he said, ” Return , O LORD, to the thousands of Israel
Second passor
- Exodus from Egypt is easy
- It was not easy for Egypt to leave the Israelites
- The Israelites did not change after the covenant
- God is angry
- The Second Passover, God gives people a second chance
Two leadership style
- Technical challenges and adaptive challenges. Technical challenges are challenges where leaders encounter problems and have solutions. You are sick, you go to the doctor, he diagnoses your condition and prescribes medicine. All you have to do is follow the instructions.
- Adaptive challenges arise when we become part of the problem. You are sick, you go to the doctor and he tells you: I can give you a pill, but the truth is that you need to change your lifestyle. You’re overweight, have a modified diet, get too little sleep, and have too much stress. Pills won’t help you until you make lifestyle changes.
- In the early days Moses could solve all problems, but now the challenge is that the people refuse to change and Moses is tired and sleepy. He fell into loneliness.
We should not forget the leadership of Moses and pray as a leader
- Moses was a lonely leader, so when he even asked for death, God did not blame him, but comforted him and raised up 70 leaders who sent down the Holy Spirit to share adaptive leadership with him.
- Moses also recognized his own limitations, so the Torah describes him as the meekest man in the world.
- Humility is knowing that we are used by God out of grace and election rather than out of our own abilities. Here Moses provides us with a biblical example of a leader who serves everyone, not be served by everyone.
- This also led to the fact that when his brothers and sisters slandered him because of his Cushite wife, God personally appeared and mentioned his devotion. Moreover, God spoke to him face to face, clearly speaking without riddles.
Slander delays the advance of the army
- Slander/Miriam is a sister and a worshiper
- See Be mindful of your worldly position and pride
- Also remind me again to pay attention to the idle people in the team
- Now is the time for the blurred vision to be restored
- Many people have vague visions because of the spirit of criticism.
- When we judge others, we block blessings.
- This is a time of major transformation. God is going to reveal the strategies you need to flow in His will and timing for the remainder of this year (5782).
spirit of God
- Numbers 11:29 Moses said to him, Are you jealous for my sake? If only the people of the Lord would be inspired to speak! May the Lord put his Spirit upon them!

Pray for America: Prayer Points for Revival
Editor’s Note: The world is surely moving into more shaking and great revival. As we do, many people are wondering how to pray. This article is excerpted from the prayer post of “Give Him 15” on 6/18 by prayer leader Dutch Sheets. "Intercessors for America" (IFA) published this great article to help us. This article gives 6 principles/mindset needed for revival , along with specific prayer points for intercessors to refer to and pray for.
【Current Events Background: Revivals are concentrated periods of intense and often widespread ministry by the Holy Spirit. They have occurred throughout history, perhaps dating back to the days when Israel was in Egypt. Revivals come in many forms and for various reasons, but they always fall into two categories:.
- Movements of spiritual renewal and reformation among God’s people;
- An outpouring of conviction among unbelievers, leading to repentance from sin and the conversions of many.
Intercessors play a vital role in the ignition and spread of any revival. Part “special-ops” teams and part “watchmen on the wall,” intercessors pray for revival to come and that it would be protected from distractions and distortions once it does come. During the revival of 1949 on the Hebrides islands, evangelist Duncan Campbell observed that intercessors were engaged in “travailing prayer,” which is described as prayer “in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!” (Galatians 4:19). This kind of praying is burdened, focused, pressing, and agonized, to a depth common among revivals but unfamiliar to today’s comfort-and-entertainment-obsessed church culture.
God seeks intercessors who are willing to travail in prayer. Is He calling you?
We are at a crucial point this year. Outpourings of spiritual renewal have come to Asbury University and have spread from there to numerous other colleges and universities, Christian and secular. How can we, God’s appointed intercessors, fan the flames of revival so that they sweep across America and the world?
God has the power to stir up spiritual fervor in people’s hearts (see Ezra 1:1,5). So the key is to pray that God would stir up in people the heart conditions for revival that He has laid out in the Bible.
When Solomon dedicated the temple he had built and God’s glory filled it, the Lord spoke directly to him in a dream at night. His words to the king describe the heart conditions to which He responds with revival.
“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.” (2 Chronicles 7:13–15)
-
- Desperation: God’s shutting up the heavens or commanding locusts to devour the land are examples of the shakings He allows when His people forsake Him, neglect Him, or rebel against Him. As Mario Murillo says: “Before a great awakening, there must be a rude awakening.” Adversity greater than human self-sufficiency can handle will bring us to the end of ourselves and make us realize our need for God. It is the first step toward people’s getting right with Him. Despair brings about the other heart conditions to which God responds.
- Humility: The realization that we are very limited and have sinned against God by trying to go it alone and by doing what is right in our own eyes leads us to humble ourselves. Humility is a precursor to seeking His forgiveness and restoration. It implies an admission of guilt and a confession of sin in holy fear of the chastisement we deserve. Humility also means intentional dependence on God and obedience to His precepts and purposes for us. It is the heart condition necessary to pray and seek His face with a pure heart and the right motive.
- Prayerfulness: A heart that is humble before God expresses itself to Him in prayer. Prayerlessness is one of the biggest diseases plaguing the Church today. Prayerless hearts beget prayerless homes, and prayerless homes produce prayerless churches. On the other hand, a prayerful heart is attuned to God and eager to commune with Him nonstop. God’s desire for us is simple: Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18).Prayerfulness must be central in our lives and in His Church, and seeking the Lord in prayer is key to a nation that pledges to be “one nation under God.” After all, He created people for worship. He wants sinful people to return to worshipping Him, and He has made a way for them to do so. A prayerful heart desires to worship God and to commune with Him.
- Hunger for God: A desire, hunger, or thirst for God leads to us seeking His face. And seeking God’s face implies two things: urgency and awe. When we seek, we leave no stone unturned to find what we desperately want. And what we want fills us with awe, because it is the face of God — the mightiest, most glorious, and holiest Being in the universe. God desires that we seek His face more than His hand. When we seek His hand, we are after what He can do for us. It’s like a friend you only hear from when he needs something. But when we seek God’s face, we make it clear that we want the delight of His presence. We want to know His character. We seek Him because we love Him for Who He is. As it turns out, when you seek only His hand, you miss out on His face. But when you seek first His face, you get His hand also. According to Acts 17:26-28, a desire for His presence and a delight in Who He is are conditions of heart that are precious to God.
- Repentance: Humility, prayer, and seeking God lead to repentance: a deliberate 180-degree turn away from the life we were living and toward the life that God desires for us. Repentance is the precursor to salvation for an unbeliever. God forgives a repentant heart. Repentance leads to a more ardent pursuit of holiness within a believer. Repentance is a heart condition that motivates and empowers us to fight sin daily and to desire holiness as a way of life (see Philippians 2:13).
- Joy: Humility, prayer, seeking God, and repentance are the conditions God places on accepting prayer and bringing forgiveness and healing to hearts, lives, and lands. Revivals are often marked by intense grief over sin and guilt, followed by immense relief and joy at the assurance of forgiveness and restoration. God’s desire is for people to be brought into intimacy with Him so they can experience true joy, which comes from knowing Him (see Psalm 126:5).

The following prayers are from the 24 prayers in “Elijah’s List”,which was reposted from the prophet Charlie Shamp’s facebook.

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: Light of Zion: DAILY PRAYER FOR ISRAEL AT WAR – 2024
Editor’s note: This article is reprinted from the “Daily Prayer for Israel at War” recently updated on April 24 by the “Light of Zion” ministry for your prayer reference. Here are 12 prayer points. May you pray for Israel, which is at war with Hamas. In addition, Israel is also informally at war with Hezbollah, which is supported by Iran in Lebanon.
【Prayer】
- God’s Victory and Glory. Pray that God’s overarching purposes in Israel’s wars with Hamas and Hezbollah will be accomplished with the least amount of harm necessary to result in the greatest amount of good, for His ultimate glory. Praise the Lord, Captain of the Armies of Heaven, because His ways are not our ways; they are greater. May His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Psalms 100:4; 83, 2 and 33:10-12, Joshua 5:14, Matthew 6:10)
- Turning Hearts to God. Pray that in this time of deep trouble, many Israelis, Palestinians, Jews in the nations, and others affected by the wars would turn wholeheartedly to God. Pray that the true face and heart of Jesus would be revealed to them. Through the ravages of war, may He be sought, known and exalted in Israel and the Middle East. Pray for believers in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon and Iran to be renewed in Messiah’s love and strengthened daily in the Spirit. Ask the Lord of the harvest to raise up laborers for the harvest in Israel and the Middle East. (2 Peter 3:9, Psalms 27 and 23, Zechariah 12:10, Matthew 9:38)
- Our Enemies: Hamas – Hezbollah – Iran. Pray according to Psalm 149:6-9 that God’s judgment be executed on Iran and terror groups dedicated to Israel’s destruction. Pray that Hamas and Hezbollah will be neutralized in order to set Palestinians, Israelis and others free from an evil Islamist regime. According to Zechariah 9:5-7, prayerfully proclaim that “Gaza will lose her king, [that God] will cut off the pride of the Philistines, … and take the blood from their mouths [so] those who are left will belong to our God.” According to Jeremiah 49:34-39, prayerfully proclaim that God will “break the bow of Elam [modern-day Iran], the mainstay of their might” and “set His throne in Elam.” According to Psalm 29:5, prayerfully proclaim, “The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars [symbol of lofty strength]; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon [Hezbollah].” Ask Him to reveal and give wisdom to Israel and other nations to implement heaven’s strategy for a post-war government in Gaza. Pray for divine direction and Israel’s supernatural defense against all forms of terror and military invasion. (Matthew 5:44, Amos 1:6-8, Daniel 2:21, Jeremiah 51:20-24, Psalms 27 and 91)
- Israeli Authorities. Pray that every Israeli leader will remain in office for as long as God wants him or her serving in that office. Pray for the gift of the fear of the Lord on each leader, for divine wisdom, godly counsel, supernatural protection on all levels, renewed strength and strategic direction. Pray especially for our emergency war cabinet: PM Netanyahu, Mr. Gantz and Mr. Gallant. Pray they will receive accurate and supernatural intelligence to know what Israel should do, and when and how to do it. (1 Timothy 2:1-4, Daniel 2:21, Psalm 75:6-7, Proverbs 9:10-11, 21:1, Psalm 91, 1 Chronicles 12:32)
- Unity. Pray for healing of the serious, internal disunity that has impacted Israeli society, politics and government leaders in recent years. Ask God to graciously convict us to forgive and love one another. May He neutralize demonic influences that stir up or finance hateful, civil protests by Israelis against our own government. Pray for unity among our governing leaders, especially our emergency war cabinet. Petition heaven to raise up authorities who will inspire the nation afresh according to God’s ways. Ask Him for peacemakers in Israel and the Middle East who fear His Name. Bless and pray for increasing unity in the Israeli ekklesia. (Matthew 12:25, Psalm 133, Malachi 2:10, Colossians 3:14)
- Hostages. Pray for great grace to be released on each of the hostages who are still in Gaza. Petition for their salvation, protection, strength, comfort, endurance, health and quick, safe return. Pray abundant grace and patient endurance upon their families. Ask the Healer of Heaven for wraparound comfort and healing on the whole nation, as every Israeli has recently lost someone they knew or is grieving with those who grieve. May any ceasefire deal for the release of hostages in exchange for the release of terrorists from Israeli jails be just and righteous according to godly wisdom, and not the product of unsanctified mercy or appeasement. (1 Samuel 30:11-19; Psalm 23, Jeremiah 30:12 and 17, Zechariah 9:11-12)
- Troops. Pray for daily renewed strength, watchfulness, angelic protection, precise and accurate intelligence, and anointing for effectiveness on each of our soldiers, military leaders and officials, security officers, police and first responders, and defense system technologies. Lift up the hundreds of Messianic soldiers in our armed forces, that the light of Yeshua would shine through them onto their fellow warriors. Ask God to help our troops avoid making mistakes that would harm innocent civilians or other Israeli soldiers. Pray for protection, strength, unity and anointing on Israeli warriors in the Spirit, Messianic Jewish and Arab Christian intercessors in the land. (Psalms 18 and 91)
- Scope of War. Pray that the scope and duration of Israel’s wars will be limited, by the power of the Blood of Yeshua and His sovereign kingship, according to His will. May it not result in a world war out of God’s timing. Pray that US involvement and decisions made by President Biden will be led of the Lord and reflect His time to favor Zion, not forcing a premature end to the war. Petition for the same concerning other nations who supply Israel with military aid. As a result of Israel’s wars with Hamas and Hezbollah, may new and godly, international alliances form according to His will. (Daniel 2:21, Proverb 21:1, Psalms 46, 102:13)
- Media War and Lawfare. Ask God to restore the love for truth that once characterized humankind. Pray for the exposure and uprooting of outrageous and hateful lies about Israel and the Jews which are reported daily in nearly all mainstream and social media, including some Christian media outlets. Bless media outlets that are reporting the truth. Pray for their protection and for an increase in their reach and effectiveness. Petition heaven for mercy toward Israel in the profound lawfare she faces in global bodies such as the United Nations and International Court of Justice. (Lawfare is the disingenuous changing of traditional and usually democratic, Judeo-Christian based laws in order to bring about major political changes that will reflect values contrary to current and traditional laws.) (Psalm 144:11, Exodus 20:16, Psalm 27:12-13, Genesis 12:3)
- Spiritual Warfare. Pray the power of the Blood of Yeshua and Word of Truth over ongoing influences of witchcraft, occult manipulations, globalist influences and other supernaturally evil forces coming against Israel. Pray especially that our governing leaders, our military and the interceding Israeli Body of Messiah will be protected from powers of darkness. Beseech God to dismantle occult shields of protection over head leaders and operatives of Hamas and Hezbollah. Worship and praise the Lord! (Worship and praise can battle powerfully against powers of darkness in spiritual realms.) (Ephesians 6:12, Numbers 23:23, Zechariah 9:13)
- Global Anti-Semitism. If led by the Spirit, repent on behalf of your nation or community for anti-Semitism. Beseech God to break the murderous spirit of Jew hatred rolling in the nations. Pray especially for the turning of hearts of young people exposed to genocidal anti-Semitism on college campuses and social media. Pray that international leaders at all levels and spheres of authority, especially in democratic nations, will courageously restrain incitement against Jewish students, Jews everywhere and Israel. Bless those leaders who speak out and stand up for the Jews. At the same time, ask God to use mounting anti-Semitism to encourage aliyah among Jews not yet living in Israel.
- Global Ekklesia. Pray for the global Body of Messiah to stand firm in the love and truth of God’s Word in support of Israel, while also carrying His heart for Palestinians and others involved in the wars. Ask Him to raise up and bless an army of intercessors around the world who will fast and pray for Israel. Petition Him for direction and wisdom for Christians in the nations to quell anti-Semitism in practical, effective ways. Pray for revival, the only true antidote to the hatred of Jews. Last but not least, thank God for answering your prayers! (Matthew 5:14-16, Revelation 12:11, Matthew 25:31-40, Psalm 100:4)

Pray for Israel: Unraveling the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Editor’s note: This article is excerpted from a column posted in “Christ Today” on June 12 , written by Sister Shen Xiaofen of “Anna Watchtower” for your reference in prayer.
【Current Affairs Background: June 5 this year is Jerusalem Day (Hebrew: יום ירושלים Yom Yerushalaim). It was approved by the Israeli Congress as a national holiday on March 23, 1998. It is designated as the 28th of Yior in the Jewish calendar every year. To commemorate Israel’s victory in the Six-Day War in 1967 and the recovery of East Jerusalem from Jordan. Jerusalem was no longer divided and was finally united and returned to Israel.
On this day, we must tell the miracle of Israel’s recovery of the city of East Jerusalem! And explain the changes in Jerusalem before it was divided and after it was unified!
historical political facts
Since Israel was restored as a nation in 1948, it finally won the war of independence and enjoyed some stability for a few years. In the 1950s and 1960s, the surrounding Arab countries were still eyeing it, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
In 1967, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq conspired to prepare for an attack. The military power of these five countries far exceeded that of Israel, and Egypt had an air force several times stronger than Israel. After receiving the information, Israel could only adopt a preemptive and outnumbered strategy, leaving only 12 fighter planes to defend its territory. The remaining fighter planes flew at ultra-low altitudes, evaded Egypt’s radar, and massively destroyed Egypt’s air force. This is divine. The key to victory is to fight back against Jordan and Syria. Israel not only succeeded in taking back Gaza from Egypt, but also fought all the way to the Sinai Peninsula. It also took back all of Samaria and Judea (including the city of East Jerusalem) from Jordan. It also fought in the northeast all the way to Damascus, and later retreated to the Golan Heights.
Israel took back East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. From then on, Jews, Christians, and all races around the world were able to enter and exit the city of East Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, and were free to pray at the Western Wall. East Jerusalem was previously occupied by Jordan. Only Muslims have access to the Western Wall area of the Temple Mount.
Therefore, Israeli people, especially young people, will parade on this day, wave the flag and dance to celebrate. However, the one-eyed General Daiyang at that time returned the keys to the Mosque on the Temple Mount to the Jordanian Religious Affairs Bureau. Therefore, it is still under the management of Jordan, and only security belongs to Israel. Therefore, Christians and Jews are not allowed to bring any religious objects (such as Bibles, prayer towels, horns, etc.).
In order to have peaceful relations with neighboring countries, Israel signed a contract with Egypt to cede the Sinai Peninsula. They compromised under the pressure of other countries and gave up a large part of Samaria and Judea to the Arabs who called themselves Palestine at that time. Before that, the Palestinians under the Jordanian occupation did not have the right to autonomy.
The Southland Massacre (also known as Operation Al-Aqsa Flood or Black Saturday) on October 7, 2023 triggered the Israel-Kazakhstan war. We have been hearing many theories, and we would like to propose them here to find out the truth:
- Palestinian Arabs are the indigenous people! ? Israel occupies Palestinian land! ?
- I keep hearing about Palestinian refugees, why are there no Jewish refugees in the world?
- Is Israel a country of high walls, racial discrimination and segregation?
- During the Israel-Kazakhstan war, did Israel really indiscriminately kill innocent people and commit genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza?
- Will there be peace in the two-nation theory? The charters of Palestine and Hamas clearly state the elimination of the Jews/Israel. This is their ultimate goal. This is also what the 10/7 massacre called Al-Aqsa (the name of a mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem) and washed it away (destroyed) ) all Israelites.
Who are “Palestinians”?
First of all, it is a false issue for the Arabs here to claim that they are “Palestinians” because everyone who lived in the Palestinian land under the British Mandate was Palestinian, whether they were Jews, Arabs, Christians or people of other races. After the Ottoman Empire was defeated, Palestine was given to the family of the King of Jordan in the first partition to establish a completely Arab country – the Kingdom of Jordan. (See picture one)
In 1947, United Nations Resolution 181 divided the land of Israel for the second time, hoping to establish an Israeli state of all Jews and a Palestinian state of all Arabs. Israel immediately accepted it and declared its independence. It was immediately faced with a massive attack from the surrounding Arab countries. This was Israel’s war of independence. Unexpectedly, little Israel, which had no regular army and many who survived the massacre of World War II like paper figures, could miraculously defeat the five attacking countries! The Arabs who were hostile to Israel at that time listened to the advice of the surrounding Arab countries and fled first, waiting for them to annihilate the Jews before returning.
They did not expect Israel to win, so they became so-called Palestinian (Arab) refugees. At that time, there was another group of Jews who could not survive in the Arab world because of the Israel-Arab war. These Jewish refugees were about 850,000 (see the following picture to see the changes in the Jewish population in Arab countries). Most of them were absorbed by the emerging country of Israel. They were in these Arab countries. The land occupied by the industry must be larger than that of Israel today, but we have never heard from the Jews that Arab countries have invaded their land and industry!
Two groups of refugees are migrating
So, there were two groups of refugees migrating at that time. To put it bluntly, in the 76 years since its establishment, Israel has been a country that has accepted Jewish refugees from all over the world .
Due to the 1948 War of Independence (five countries attacked the newly established State of Israel), about 720,000 Arabs fled from Israel to outside Israel. They later called themselves Palestinians and have been working in the refugee relief organization UNRWA ( Under the relief of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the first generation of refugees has been born and raised into the millions over the generations. This is very unreasonable, because most refugees are only assisted in one generation, and their descendants are all in the host country or The land becomes its people. (refer to picture source )
These Arabs who fled from Israel were initially taken in by Jordan and Egypt. However, they formed the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and instigated a coup in the host country. Therefore, the King of Jordan expelled the PLO. In this Israel-Kazakhstan war, Jordan and Egypt don’t even dare to take in the refugees from Gaza. Egypt even spent money to build a high wall to prevent the refugees from fleeing from Gaza. Why? Because they cannot bear the risk of being attacked from within by Hamas or triggering a coup! Yet they are willing to keep Palestine as a weak spot to hold Israel hostage!
Arabs in Israel
There are still a group of more than 100,000 Arabs who are friendly to the Jews in Israel and have not left the land. They later became Arab citizens of Israel and have multiplied to become the second largest ethnic population in Israel with 2.1 million (accounting for 21% of the total population).
Therefore, Israel is no longer a country of all Jews as originally planned, but a country where Arabs and Jews coexist . These Arab Israeli citizens enjoy the most democracy, freedom and human rights in the Middle East. They have their own party seats in the Israeli Knesset. They are unwilling to Join other Arab countries or the so-called Palestinian state.
There were originally no fences or high walls between Israel and the Palestinian people. However, after nearly 20 to 30 years of terrorist attacks and bus suicide bombings, which caused many innocent Israelis casualties and fear of coming and going, the Israeli government had to spend money to build a barrier. Fences and walls between Jewish and Palestinian communities!
Israel’s genocide in Gaza?
On 10/7, Hamas destroyed the fence and more than 3,000 terrorists invaded and massacred southern Israel. Israel launched Operation Swords of Iron to fight back. According to Israel’s military strength, if it really wants to win a quick victory, it will If the lives of innocent Palestinian people were truly a genocide, Gaza could have been bombed within a week. There was no need to send out leaflets or text messages to tell the Palestinian people where to evacuate. They also opened humanitarian relief channels and refuges, and sent soldiers step by step to walk in Gaza. They risked their lives to wipe out Hamas!
The more than 30,000 civilian casualties reported by the United Nations in Gaza were all falsely reported by the Hamas Health Bureau. Recently, it was verified that the original number of casualties among women and children was reduced by nearly half!
Let’s look at how Israel fought this battle. Did Israel starve the Gazaites to death? Israel’s genocide in Gaza? Which country provides the most aid to the people of Gaza? Look at the data and facts:
category | content | category | content |
food | Jordan: 750 tons Egypt: 11,200 tons
Israel: 240,860 tons |
water | Jordan: 0 tons
Egypt: 95 tons Israel: 27,760 tons = 6.8 liters per person per day. |
electricity | Jordan: 0MW
Egypt: 27MW Israel: 125MW |
drug | Jordan: 23 tons
Egypt: 7,000 tons Israel: 20,710 tons |
For more information, please click here .
The army of Israel is the army of Jehovah. They have worshiped God with prayers since they took the oath of joining the army. They put God as their leader when entering and exiting the battle, and they also worship and praise when they rest. If innocent people are harmed, they will be investigated closely. No country’s army needs to take care of the enemy’s people when fighting. Only Israel is required to do so! From 10/7 to now for 243 days, the fate of innocent hostages is unknown, and more than 100 people have not yet returned!
What does God’s Word say about Israel and Jerusalem?
Isaiah 11:1,10-12 From the root of Jesse will come a message…In that day the root of Jesse will be established as a standard for the peoples; the Gentiles will seek Him, and the place of His resting place will be glorious. On that day the Lord will stretch out his hand a second time and save the remnant of his people, those who are left in Assyria, Egypt, Patroth, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea. He will raise up a standard over the nations, and he will gather back the dispersed people of Israel, and he will gather the scattered people of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Isaiah 66:7-8 Zion gave birth without laboring, and gave birth to a male child without feeling pain. How can a country be born in a day? How can the people produce goods in one moment? For as soon as Zion labored, she gave birth to children. Who has ever heard or seen such a thing?
The return of the Jews to their homeland is not a work of human hands, it is an act of God! God promised this land to the ancestors of Israel, and how privileged we are to see the fulfillment of that prophecy in this generation! Therefore, the two-state theory of the peace road map led by the United Nations (the United States, the European Union, Russia, etc.) in the past 76 years since the restoration of Israel has never achieved anything, nor has it brought peace to any Jewish people on this land. Instead, it has seen Palestinians and Israelis Conflicts continue year after year, causing innocent casualties among the people!
Because the good and peace that people think of do not fulfill God’s righteousness, and they are not the sons of the promise who inherit the inheritance. They are only like thieves, bringing killing, stealing and destruction! We know from the dense underground weapons and terrorist attack tunnels discovered during Israel’s clearing of Hamas in Gaza that they not only suffered harm by using the people as human shields, but the land was also harmed by plundering!
Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you, and out of your flesh. I take away my heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
Zechariah 8:2-19 Thus says the LORD of hosts: My heart is extremely burning for Zion; I am fiercely angry for her enemies. This is what the LORD says: I have returned to Zion and will live in Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the city of truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts shall be called the holy mountain. This is what the Lord Almighty says: There will be old men and women sitting in the streets of Jerusalem, holding staffs in their hands because they are old. The streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing. . ..Thus says the Lord of hosts: I will bring back my people from the east and from the west. I will bring them and make them live in Jerusalem. They shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and righteousness. …but now my treatment of this remnant of the people will not be as it was before. This is what the Lord Almighty says. For they will sow in peace, the vines will bear fruit, the earth will yield its crops, and the heavens will rain dew.
I will make this remnant people enjoy all these blessings. As you were a curse among the nations, so I will save you, O house of Judah, and house of Israel, and make you a blessing. Do not be afraid, but be strong in your hands. …Don’t be afraid. This is what you must do: speak truthfully to your neighbor, judge wisely at the gate, and be a peacemaker. Let no one plot evil against his neighbor in his heart, nor love to swear falsely, for these things I hate. this is what Jehovah said.
…Thus says the LORD of hosts: The days of fasting in the fourth month and in the fifth month, and the fasting days in the seventh month and in the tenth month, will become days of rejoicing and feasts of joy for the house of Judah; therefore love truth and peace. .
When Jews from all over the world return to Israel, God promises that they will receive a new heart and a new spirit. They will definitely return to God from the secular culture of the world, and they will have the wisdom to be saved! The earth must also be revived together with people! The enemy attacked with the flood of Al-Aqsa, but God wanted to water Israel with rivers of the Holy Spirit! The enemy is clamoring to drive out the Israelites/Jews from river to sea (from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea), but they don’t know that it is God who wants to fully reclaim this land to His promised Son!
Since the resumption of the land and the reunification of the city of Jerusalem in 1967, we have seen the growth of local Messianic believers in Israel far greater than in previous centuries! Coupled with the agricultural production that God has blessed the land with, even the southern desert has developed the most advanced water technology (drip irrigation systems, desalination, etc.), greenhouse farming is abundant, and flowers are blooming. Little Israel has become a global flower exporter. One of the top ten countries! Israel has transformed from desolation, swamps, and deserts when the country was founded to today’s country with reverse desertification and continuous expansion of forest green areas!
An attempt to divide the land of Israel again
Let’s look at how God will deal with those who attempt to divide the land of Israel and divide Jerusalem again:
Zechariah 1:18-20 ; I lifted up my eyes and saw four horns…these were the horns that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem…but the builders came to threaten the nations and knocked off their horns, which he lifted up to scatter. The corner of the land of Judah.
Zechariah 2:8-9, 12-13 …He who touches you touches the apple of His eye. Behold, I will shake my hands at them, and they will become spoils of those who serve them…The Lord will Having recovered Judah as His portion of the holy land, Jerusalem will also be chosen again. Let all flesh be silent before the Lord, for He has arisen and cometh out of the Holy Place!
Zechariah 12:2-3 I will make Jerusalem a cup of intoxication to all the nations surrounding it when it is under siege. This revelation also concerns Judah. “In that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone to all the peoples who have gathered against her, and whoever lifts it up will be seriously wounded.”
Zechariah 9:13b I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece, and I will make you like a sword in the hand of a mighty man.
Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek! for they shall inherit the earth.
Jerusalem is a yardstick, and your attitude towards her will tell you whether you are a son of Zion or a son of Greece! This war between Israel and Kazakhstan is called Operation Swords of Iron by Israel. According to the scripture here, it can be called Operation Swords of Iron! This war of Yiha is a battle of the Lord, a battle between the sons of Zion and the sons of Greece, to purge the land of all violent spirits and spit out those who do violence from the land!
Psalm 2:1-2, 4, 10-12 Why do the Gentiles quarrel and why do the peoples plot vain things? The kings of the earth have risen together, and their princes have taken counsel together, to oppose the Lord and his anointed one… He who sits in heaven will laugh; the Lord will mock them. …Now, you kings should wake up! You earthly judges deserve discipline! Serve the Lord with fear, and with joy with trembling. Kiss the Son with your mouth, lest he be angry and you perish in the word, for his wrath is about to be kindled. Blessed are those who take refuge in Him!
If it belongs to Jehovah God, who dares to reach out and touch it or even divide it? ? The Lord sits on the throne and rules in Zion. His eyes scan the whole earth. He sees the horns of pride from afar. He will take action!
- The Turkish congressman who had previously cursed Israel fell to death on the spot, and Iranian President Raisi launched more than 300 missiles and drones to attack Israel (he had ordered the killing of thousands of Iranian political prisoners and was called the executioner of Tehran) 5/19 Helicopter Death in a crash!
- Aren’t we going to fight for those rulers and powers of the nations who raise their hands and raise their hands again to raise the two-nation theory and divide Israel and the city of Jerusalem?
- Do you want to fight for the International Court of Justice (ICC/ICJ) to accuse the Israeli leader and the Hamas terrorist leader who has killed countless people as war criminals? God will not be mocked!
When Leahy’s plane disappeared, I was not happy at all. I actually prayed for him to see the Lord and repent at the last moment! Life was created by God, and the glory of life belongs to God alone. God is not happy when evil people die. He always hopes that people can turn around at the last moment. I cried and prayed, and I deeply felt God’s mercy and kindness! The watchman stands with the Lord while watching, and his life gradually conforms to the likeness of the Lord! This is a great honor for watch intercessors!
Isaiah 62:1-7 For Zion’s sake I will not be silent, nor for Jerusalem’s sake I will be silent, until his righteousness shines forth like brightness, and his salvation burns out like a lamp. The nations will see your righteousness, and the kings will see your glory. You will be called by a new name, the mouth of the LORD Himself will give you. You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a crown in the hand of your God. You will no longer be called forsaken; your land will no longer be called desolate. But you shall be called My Delight; and your land shall be called Married Woman. For the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be his. As a young man marries a virgin, so shall all your people marry you; as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, and they will not be silent day or night. Rest not, you who call upon the LORD, nor give him rest, until he establishes Jerusalem, and makes her a praise in the earth.
The Jerusalem on earth will return, and the Jerusalem built with living stones in heaven will also be accomplished. All of these are God’s actions, the fulfillment of His covenant promises and prophecies. This is His faithfulness, and it is for the sake of His holy name! Glory, glory again! Let all flesh be silent before God!

Day 9: Pray for Unity in Messiah among Arab-Jewish people (5/27)
- Genesis 25:12-18 The son Hagar, the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham was Ishmael. The names of the sons of Ishmael are listed below according to their genealogy. The eldest son of Ishmael was Nebaioth, and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibishan, Mishmah, Dumah, Massah,
Hadad, Temah, Itud, Nafish, and Kedemah. These were the names of the sons of Ishmael, who were the heads of the twelve tribes according to their villages and camps. Ishmael lived one hundred and thirty-seven years, died, and was gathered to his fathers. The residence of his descendants was on the east side of his brethren, from Havilah to Shur, which is before Egypt, on the road to Assyria. - Isaiah 19:1-25 Apocalypse concerning Egypt: Behold, the LORD is coming to Egypt in a swift cloud. The idols of Egypt trembled before him; the hearts of the Egyptians melted within. I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, nation against nation. The spirit of the Egyptians will be exhausted within them; I will destroy their counsel. They will consult idols and those who cast spells, those who converse with spirits, and those who practice witchcraft. I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; a violent king will rule over them. This is what the Lord Almighty says. The waters of the seas will cease, and the rivers will dry up. The rivers will become foul; all the rivers of Egypt will be reduced and dried up. The reeds and reeds will fade away; the pastures by the Nile and the fields planted along the Nile will wither. The crops were blown away by the wind and disappeared. The fishermen will weep. Everyone who fishes in the Nile will mourn; everyone who casts a net on the water will become weak. The workers of the fine linen will be ashamed, and the weavers of the white cloth will be ashamed; the pillars of the kingdom will be broken in pieces, and the hearts of all the servants will be troubled. The princes of Zoan were extremely foolish; Pharaoh was a wise counselor, but his plans turned out to be foolish. How dare you confront the Fa? They may know the purpose of the Lord of hosts for Egypt, and may they tell it to you! The princes of Zoan became foolish, and the princes of Noph were deceived. He who was the chief cornerstone of the tribes of Egypt caused the Egyptians to go astray. The LORD put a perverse spirit into the midst of Egypt; and the princes caused error in all the works of Egypt, as a drunkard staggers when he vomits. Neither head nor tail, palm branches nor reeds will succeed in their work in Egypt. In that day the Egyptians will be like a woman; they will tremble and fear because of the hand of the LORD Almighty who is over Egypt. The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt, and whoever mentions the land of Judah will be afraid. This is because of the purpose of the Lord of hosts for Egypt. On that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt, speaking in Canaanite tongues and swearing by the Lord of hosts. One city will be called “the city of destruction.” In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD on the border of Egypt. These will be a sign and a sign for the LORD Almighty in the land of Egypt. The Egyptians cried out to the Lord because of their oppression, and He sent a Savior as their protector to save them. The LORD will be known to the Egyptians. On that day the Egyptians will know the LORD, and they will worship him with sacrifices and offerings, and they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill their vows. The LORD will smite Egypt, smite and heal, and the Egyptians will return to the LORD. He will answer their prayers and heal them. In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will enter Egypt, and the Egyptians will enter Assyria; and the Egyptians will
worship the Lord together with the Assyrians. In that day Israel will be one with the three kingdoms Egypt and Assyria, and it will be a blessing to the people of the earth; for the Lord of hosts will bless them, saying, “Egypt, my people, Assyria, the work of my hands, Israel, Blessed is my inheritance!”
【Prayer】Pray and prophesy a restored relationship between Jewish and Arab people as a loving relationship to these two “brothers” so that they will come together in unity to worship the God of Israel (Genesis 25:12-18; Isaiah Chapter 19)

Day 10: Pray for the Spiritual Revival of the Jewish people and the nations (5/28)
- Romans 10:1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is that Israel may be saved.
- Romans 11:28-32 Concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but as to election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. Because there is no regret for God’s gifts and calling. You once disobeyed God, but now you have received mercy because of their disobedience. In this way they also were disobedient, so that because of the mercy shown to you, they also may now receive mercy. For God has imprisoned all men in disobedience for the purpose of having mercy on all men.
- Ezekiel 36:24-28 I will gather you from all the nations, gather you from the nations, and bring you back to your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; I will take away your heart of stone from your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you, so that you may obey my statutes and keep my judgments and do them. You will live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You shall be my people, and I shall be your God.
- Romans 11:12 If their fault is the riches of the world, and their want the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness be?
- Hab 2:14 The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
【Prayer】 Pray for the fresh mercies of God to be poured out upon the Jewish people and ultimately upon all nations ( Rom. 10:1; Rom. 11:28-32; Ezek. 36:24-28; Rom. 11:12; Hab. 2: 14 )

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: The Time When Nations Enter the Valley of Jehoshaphat
【Background of current affairs: China and Arab countries issued a joint statement at the Beijing Forum from May 31 to June 2. The Chinese government supports returning to the situation before the 1967 Six-Day War and giving East Jerusalem to Palestine to make it its capital. The two sides emphasized that if Israel does not return the Palestinian territories with East Jerusalem as its capital, the occupied Golan Heights in Syria, and the occupied territories of Lebanon, peace, security and stability in the region will not be achieved.
China and the Arab States Promote the Establishment of an Independent Palestinian State
Both sides call on the international community to take measures to promote the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and to achieve a political settlement on the basis of international law and relevant international resolutions, so that Palestine can fulfill its inalienable legal rights, including the right to self-determination of its destiny, the establishment of the 1967 border basis, and the establishment of the East The right to an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, and the right to return and compensation for Palestinian refugees stipulated in United Nations Resolution 194 (1948). Support Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations. Both sides reiterated that the “two-state solution” is the only way to resolve the Palestinian issue.
Both sides called for the convening of a larger, more authoritative and more effective international peace conference as soon as possible to start an authoritative peace process based on recognized international principles. The process should be carried out within a defined time frame and under international guarantees until the end of Israel’s occupation of the 1967 Palestinian territories including East Jerusalem, the occupied Golan Heights of Syria, and the remaining occupied territories of Lebanon.
Both sides welcome the recent recognition of the State of Palestine by many countries, stressing that this is a driving force for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and international and regional peace, security, and stability, and call on countries that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to do so as soon as possible.
Now is the Time to Choose
Psalm 2:1-2 Why do the Gentiles quarrel? Why do all the peoples plan vain things? The kings of the earth have risen together, and their princes have taken counsel together against the LORD and against his anointed one.
Yes, He who sits in heaven will laugh, and the Lord will mock them. Because history is written by God, and the government rests on His shoulders. God is the great King who governs the entire earth! He is still reigning over the entire earth! God has a purpose in allowing such chaos to happen.
As the prophet Chuck Pierce predicted this year, all countries must make a choice regarding Israel within these two years. The nations are in a valley of judgment, and one nation after another is about to make a decision regarding Israel. Will the nations recognize God’s covenant with Israel? Now is the time to choose.
How Should We Act in the Face of Chaos?
The year 2024 will be marked by a large number of elections around the world: at least 64 countries will hold votes, accounting for nearly half of the global population, including 8 of the 10 most populous countries in the world – Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan, Russia and the United States; in addition, the European Union will hold European Parliament elections in June. About 2 billion voters are eligible to vote in this year’s elections, about a quarter of the world’s population.
This year is the door to hope, and we should not feel depressed or hopeless about the chaos of this year. How should we act in the face of chaos? We are in the decade of voices, the decade of mouths. We can express our voices in voting and elections, identify with God in times of crisis, stand at the city gate, and make a voice that stands with God. These are what we can do and what we should do.
So let us raise our voices, pray for our country, and stand boldly against God’s will and destiny for our country.

Pray for Native Americans: Chinese, Indigenous People and Israel – God’s Will in the Last Days
Editor’s Note: This article is a continuation of the report on the “North American Indigenous Summit” in the previous issue . Part of the content is excerpted from the heartfelt voice of a North American family member.
【Current events: When I heard the message of Linda Prince and the miracle that happened in her body’s resurrection, I was so excited that I accepted this “North American Indigenous Summit” in my spirit , not only for As the indigenous people fulfill God’s intention for them, the rise of indigenous people is also related to Canada entering its destiny, which is Revelation 22:2 “The leaves on the tree are for the healing of all peoples .” Canada is a maple leaf country, and a prophet predicted that Canada will be healed in the end. The anointing is to flow to the nations. This gathering is just a kick-off. When indigenous people from all over the world come here to gather and form a “healing circle” by beating drums, singing, and dancing in the ancient indigenous worship method, they also receive such healing and take it back to their land. Heal the land. The Chinese people’s prayers and participation in this gathering are very important.
Indigenous Peoples are the Key to Renewal Across the Planet
At that time, I could feel God’s heartbeat and sense of urgency. Our God was working quickly, and we needed our quick hands to keep up. We are in a season of rapid rotation. God is doing something new. Every day there is fresh revelation and manna coming down, so that we can no longer use our minds, but obey the leading of the Holy Spirit with faith. I was originally moved to pray for the Indigenous people, just for the revival of Canada. But it was only recently that I was enlightened and understood God’s final intentions.
The indigenous people are the eldest sons of the land, and it is they who start the revival of the entire earth. The indigenous people who have suffered in the past can comfort the Jews who have also suffered. Especially the indigenous people who believe in the Lord can help the Jews open their hearts to accept Jesus Christ as their savior, because only those who have suffered and overcome can have the authority and ability to help. Those who suffer.
Similarly, we Chinese are very privileged to preach the gospel to the indigenous people, because the Chinese also have the same suffering experience. How wonderful our God is, even our sufferings are carefully arranged by Him. I personally heard some Indigenousl people say, “The Indigenous people themselves are very sympathetic to the suffering nation of the Jewish elder brothers. When the Indigenous people learned that all the suffering they had suffered could comfort the Jewish elder brothers, their hearts were filled with joy.” When they woke up, they felt that all the suffering they had suffered was worth it. They no longer blamed themselves and asked why. Instead, they were filled with hope and joy and raised their heads.”
Indigenous Rise Releases Land’s Healing Anointing
When they are connected, wearing the colorful and beautiful ethnic costumes unique to this land, singing, dancing, and beating the songs, drums and dances specially bred by the mountains and rivers on this land, the land wakes up. Come, be comforted, be healed, break the curse! The people of the land are healed, the firstborn of the land awakens. They love the land where they live, have emotions and memories of it, and know its heartbeat and calling! (Unlike most outsiders who just ask for this land.) When the indigenous people’s hearts are healed, they Worship, their rise, the healing anointing of the land will flow out, and the Maple Leaf Kingdom of Canada will enter her final destiny of healing the entire earth! And all of this is just the beginning.
Indigenous People, Israelis and Chinese – God’s Intention in the Last Days
In the connection between the Indigenous people and Israel to comfort, support and activate each other, there is a great need for the silent prayers and financial help of the Chinese people. The Indigenous people, Jewish elder brothers, and Chinese people are the good wine prepared by God for the end of the world. , whether in blood or in spirit, is like a three-strand rope, the finale. This is really God’s wonderful wisdom and plan!
In the current most difficult and painful period for Israel since its founding in 1948, and at a time when all countries are resisting Israel, the indigenous peoples scattered around the world are willing to rise up and respond to God’s call. The “Indigenous Embassy” in Jerusalem was established in early February this year. ”, they expressed their support and love for Israel with the unique authority of the earthly firstborn sons that God gave them, and also planned to hold a grand embassy establishment ceremony in Jerusalem at the end of October this year after the Feast of Tabernacles, the earthly firstborn sons. Come and honor the spiritual firstborn!
Share the Vision of the “Indigenous Embassy” in Jerusalem
We see that God’s quick pen is still working non-stop. After the “North American Indigenous Summit” in the Muckleshoot Reservation , eight indigenous people (including two Indigenous embassy directors and their wives from New Zealand) continued to walk in North America without stopping. Called to share their voices, testimonies and visions. During this Pentecost period (June 9th to June 13th) they will go to Toronto to visit Jews and churches and groups that have a burden for the Jewish elder brothers. This is also a blessing and ignition for Toronto (Eastern America) to open the ancient well of Toronto. I believe this will no longer be Toronto blessing, but Toronto Blasting. The final glory will definitely be greater than the previous glory.
Witness the Glory of God being Launched on the East Coast of America
We are about to witness the initiation of the glory of the Lord on the east coast of America. In 2011, the Lord explained to Pastor Milo Siilata, an indigenous pastor from New Zealand, why He chose to increase and start this wave on the east coast of America. Since the events at the Tower of Babel [in present-day Iraq], humans have been dispersed around the world, with Native Americans beginning to migrate farther east than any other group. Therefore, according to the Lord’s revelation, the east coast of America became the “Far East.”
The Eastern United States is about to rise, echoing that of Vancouver and the Western United States. The waves of the last-day revival are swirling back and forth, and the spiritual tsunami is in great glory! I think of the prophetic picture that Pastor Joylynn received from the church at the home meeting in January this year (see the picture on the right) and the words from the earth many years ago. The ultimate wave of glory of the indigenous prophets ( the vision of a boat in the ocean ).
How to Help Indigenous People Fulfill God’s Will?
The families on the East Coast of the United States and in Vancouver understand that the indigenous l people of North America are the key to the recovery of the United States and other countries. They know that they have a blood relationship with the Chinese, and they have received that God will use the Chinese to support the indigenous people. Therefore, I have been walking with the indigenous people for many years to help them fulfill God’s call and mission for them. Here are a few areas that need your support:
- Pray for the Gathering: Gela, the Indigenous prayer leader, is gathering representatives from various countries to pray for the gathering. We will also be gathering Chinese intercessors to pray (in Chinese). If you are moved to join the intercession, please send your name, email address, phone number, city (country) etc to ydd1227@yahoo.com and we will contact you with the details.

All donations will be forwarded to Linda’s North American Native Ministries for funding the gathering.
