WEEKLY Arrows from Zion 10/4/2017 Tabernacles

Priority Prayer Focus Oct 4, 2017

Major emphasis in most of the Israeli ministry letters over the past week is the focus on the Fall Feasts of the Lord in progress. There are several  short teachings on the various Feasts as well as reports from some of the many conferences and gatherings going on during these feast days which draw Jews and Christians from the nations to participate. These Feasts are "appointed times" which God has set up to communicate to the Jews their nation's salvation through Yeshua (Jesus). That makes this a key moment for the spiritual eye-opening of many Jews in Israel and the nations. So please keep at the top of your prayers - not only for those about to be saved, but also for the believers of Israel who are witnesses to Yeshua the Messiah:

I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’ Acts 26:17-18

Israel Pochtar begins this week with a report on their Yom Kippur in Jerusalem at the All Nations Convocation, "where close to a hundred nations have come together to pray together and praise God in unison." Pochtar also gives a short review of the meaning of the Sukkot, or Feast of Tabernacles which he notes is the prophetic future that is also vividly described in Zechariah 14:9,16.

Pochtar speaks about the outreach event they did last week, bringing in around 1,000 non-believers to a Biblical tour of the Galilee going to the "Mountain Transfiguration, Village of Cana, Capernaum, Sea of Galilee, etc. We walked in Yeshua's footsteps and got to show people how His message comes alive through His word and the places where he performed so many miracles and served the people. It's very powerful and people are moved to tears when visiting those places while hearing the messages that are recorded in the Bible that he taught in those specific spots." A large majority of the participants stood to pray the Sinner's Prayer ...Read more inside the Weekly Summary attachment      

The weekly ministry letter from Maoz Ministries of Ari and Shira Sorko-Ram came out last week on the same day we sent out our summary, which is their top story was the terrorist attack that happened last Tuesday in Har Adar, a town near Jerusalem. Read Faces. Stories. Ruined families. Tears. Funerals. inside the Weekly Summary attachment. Also the concerns of another intifada igniting.  Even as this Arrows from Zion is being prepared on Wed, 10/4, we see an Israeli newspaper report that a 70-year old Jewish man has suffered a violent death and been found in an industrial area outside of Jerusalem in an Israeli-Arab area. This is the same kind of lead up that started the war in Gaza a few years ago. Please pray and get prayer points from the Maoz letter inside the Weekly Summary attachment along with other prayer requests for the ministry and a short perspective on family by Katy Smith.

Also from the Maoz Israel monthly report: Biblical Reasons To Stand With Israel | Today, many believers in the world not only don't understand why they should stand with and support Israel, but openly take a stand against her. Is our little country perfect? Of course not! But perfection was never a prerequisite for God's love. Quite the contrary! But that does not preclude God's command to every true believer to stand with Israel, love Israel, pray for the Jewish people and support Israel. Continue Reading online               

From the Hebrew congregation in Arad, a follow up on their last report about the growing persecution of the Hassidei Gur (ultra-orthodox sect) in Arad against the Messianics and seculars in town. "Standing in the Day of Evil" speaks about how the persecution may have started with them but it spread to engulf many in town.  They also refer to an article that appeared in Arutz Sheva which spun their story with lies. I mention this specifically because so many Christians follow Arutz Sheva news stories because it is a religious source which they believe is 'safe'. Not so. It is most unreliable - especially with stories related to the believers and followers of Yeshua. Please take note of this for future reference.

David Lazarus of the Beit Immanuel congregation in Jaffa has a short Yom Kippur message inside the Weekly Summary attachment       

Eddie Santoro of the Ahavat Yeshua (Love of Yeshua) congregation writes about a young waiter they have witnessed to before coming to faith last week. This is a great testimony of how the Holy Spirit is leading the believers in Israel to those hearts that have been prepared to receive.  Santoro also writes about several gatherings he was attended in conjunction with the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh HaShana) that have included Arab churches and pastors - some with 600 in attendance!  Eddie writes, "...we know that as the fellowship between Jew and Arab grows, the power and destiny of Israel will also take its place of dominance."  Read more about these gatherings inside the Weekly Summary attachment          

Orna Grinman, A Sign & An Example (Ot Oo’Mofet), has a new blog piece:  Atoning without blood | Is it possible? Can anyone atone for sins and receive forgiveness without the shedding of a clean blood? Leviticus 17:11 is only one verse out of many that explains how it works: a pure and sinless soul (blood) has to be poured for a sinful soul to be covered.

Ron Cantor of Messiah's Mandate and Tiferet Yeshua congregation has two Yom Kippur videos to strengthen your faith: Can Fasting Earn Atonement? and Yeshua, Yom Kippur and the Talmud

From Asher Intrater's Revive Israel, Time and Geography | An excerpt from Asher Intrater's new book: ALIGNMENT | For much of the international Christian world, there has been little importance to time and geography for the last two millennia.

From the northern Israeli Kerem-El (God's Vineyard) congregation, this update from the Stefen and Keren Silver who are in leadership there.  "We have had some exciting things happening in Kerem-El Congregation since this year so far, especially with evangelism. Here are some updates concerning our work in the congregation." Read about those inside the subscription only Attached DOCX Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries.  They also have a big personal announcement, and this link to where you can purchase Keren's 12-song worship CD

The Kerem-El congregation has big news from their members, two of which took the top 2 places in the annual Messianic Business Competition. In order for the body of Messiah in Israel as a whole to grow and sustain themselves, their congregational members need to be able to prosper in business. Due to persecution of the faith, this has not always been easy which is why there is an organization that is encouraging Messianic believers in their own businesses.  Read about the Kerem-El first and second place winners inside the Weekly Summary attachment            

You can also read how this congregation has been spending their time together during the Fall Feasts and get their prayer points they are asking for you to pray along with them inside the Weekly Summary attachment               

Guy Cohen, the young anointed leader of the Acco Harvest of Asher congregation, has as short teaching on "Worship to the King" from Zechariah 14 about the time when the Messiah will sit on His throne in Jerusalem and the nations will come to celebrate the feasts. Read it inside the Weekly Summary attachment              

Even though this comes toward the end of Arrows from Zion this week it is one of the most serious things we are spotlighting for intercessory prayer. It comes from Carolyn and Richard Hyde of the Heart of God ministries in the Sea of Galilee region. There is a scheme of the enemy against them to revoke their citizenship which I encourage you to read about inside the subscription only Attached DOCX Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries.

I don't want to share these things on a public forum, but one thing I will share:  "We are sharing this NOT so you'll hate the ultra-Orthodox.  Please don't hate them, but pray for those who persecute us and ask G-d for a road to Damascus experience for the Shas Party, who control the MOI.  'Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted'."  2 Tim 3:12  The Acts scripture in the Priority Prayer Focus is for you, Richard and Carolyn.

Also for the sake of protecting those involved, you MUST READ this most startling testimony they shared "A Living Testimony" of how the Holy Spirit led their son on a mostly deserted beach to literally save a young woman who had just taken 120 pills to kill herself.  She was saved physically and spiritually on the spot - rescued just in the nick of time by someone willing to step out in faith at the direction of the Holy Spirit. inside the Weekly Summary attachment

Historic: Welcoming the King of Glory Conference Jerusalem | On October 10-13, a significant first will take place in Jerusalem during the festivities of the Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot as it is known from the Biblical Fall Feasts of God. During this season it is quite usual for Israel and especially Jerusalem to be overflowing with Christians who come to celebrate the feasts at many conferences that are conducted by Christian ministries.
