Lands of the Covenant
Praying over US Election

by Avi Tekle, Tents of Mercy

We are interceding today for our US friends and partners who are going through trying times and one of the most difficult election seasons in recent memory. It is our turn to stand with you in such a time as this.

The "United States of America" in Hebrew
translates directly as "Lands of the Covenant"

We know the covenant God has with America is yet to be fully realized. May it be so in Yeshua, whatever the results of the coming days we pray for strength, unity, and humility in the Body of Believers in America. May God bring healing to these covenant lands.

Despite Rabshakeh: Standing in Faith for the US Elections 2020
by Donna Diorio

Last night (Monday 11/9) Tucker Carlson threw down the gauntlet...to his own network and Fox colleagues. His message was simple: Everyone has been lying to you, you know they've been lying to you and that's why you're so mad, and it is time to fix this nation the only way possible: quit lying and start telling the truth - like always!  If Tucker survives Fox employment it will be a miracle because on 11/4 the wife of the Murdoch son that runs Fox tweeted, "We did it!" They were elated that their censorship, suppression and election night hijinxs  had pre-crowned Joe Biden as the elected president. 

Between Tucker's show and an appearance of Matt Schlapp on Newsmax last night, I was startled to realize how the Democrat "machine" in our major cities have been a metastasizing cancer corrupting and throwing elections through illegal election fraud that everyone in Washington has been well aware of for years....and did nothing to remedy. Schlapp challenged Sean Spicer with how at every RNC Republican leaders would talk about what the big city Democrat voter fraud "machines" (people operating knowingly to muscle their vote choice through illegally) in cities like Philly, Detroit, Chicago, etc. have done for the past 60 years. Spicer blinked hard but he didn't dispute it.

So later when Tucker Carlson started talking about the specific election fraud charges that have been brought in Trump's court cases in several states, it hit me hard: This could be happening in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin just as easily and probably is! A metastasizing cancer of stealing the election centered in the major cities held by Democrats.

Like Tucker, who called out even the garbage that has been going on his own network with his Fox News colleagues, I believe that our failure to just tell the truth is killing us. It is certainly killing Fox News. It is not just anecdotal that people are leaving Fox in droves, the ratings show a DEEP viewer exodus that puts them substantially behind their competitors they've enjoyed trouncing for years.  Tucker said, "We heard you," but I don't think the powers that be at Fox News have. For instance they cancelled Jeannine Pirro's show for good last night...after Tucker threw down his gauntlet daring them to fire him for telling the truth. They also fired Trey Gowdy when they found out he had joined the Trump legal teams.

The voter fraud in the US election 2020 was real and collectively it was enough to throw the election. Believers who want to remain ignorant of the facts can easily do so, especially if they don't bother to dig in to find out, but only do a surface inspection amidst an environment where media and big tech are censoring and suppression the truth like nobody's business. I believe there are spiritual parallels to this.

Like Tucker I am not going to bow to what some leaders are saying about what's going on. I have not heard in my spirit that God has pulled back from the United States. To me, that is the voice of Rabshakah, whose mission was to dis-courage the people of God from having faith in God's deliverance. This view will not change for me until all the legal challenges are exhausted and Biden is sworn in as President. I don't expect that to happen. In the meantime I am going to keep searching for the facts and revealing the truth.
IF God has abandoned the USA and we are going into His deserved punishment by evil triumphing in our nation, then watch here, because I will come out and tell you all, "I was wrong."  I not sweep my heartfelt convictions under the rug.


I have received more ministry letters again this week than I can fit it: Watch next week

Arrows from Zion
Summarized from the Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests Israeli Ministries by subscription only donna@israelprayer.com

Evan Levine of HaTikva Project just passed the milestone of 10 years since the ministry started and we have seen some unique avenues of helping both believers in Israel as well as those who do not yet know the Messiah. One vital area of course is just helping believers with humanitarian aid as needed - in all the humanitarian aid that goes into Israel, very little of it reaches our brothers and sisters in the faith and we are told in scripture that we must do first for "the household of faith." Another unique avenue of blessing is the lower cost Dental Clinics they've set up to help both believers and as an outreach, needy Israelis. Dental is not part of the Israeli health package so there is great need for this. They also developed a new avenue in helping with adoption and foster parenting, and of course they reach out to the elderly in need. This is a thriving, generous ministry that is bringing HaTikva, The Hope, to Israel and you can rest assured it is a good place to plant seed. Click to HELP 

Tree of Life ministries led by Ariel Hyde has amazing testimonies of how their videos are reaching into the most off-limits segments of Israeli populations (like the ultra-Orthodox!). First people can view the videos in the privacy of their own homes, but they can also reach out by phone and get answers and ministry from the Tree of Life team. I have been so encouraged by what I am reading in the ministry letters they send me and I see why they are excitedly asking, "Could this be the beginning of a spiritual awakening? Three more Israelis turned to Jesus this week alone! Each one has a beautiful story, which we’ll share, Lord-willing, over the next few weeks.... Thank you for all your prayers!"

Ariel writes, "We’re personally discipling some of the new believers and have connected others to congregations in their area. "L" ... just got baptized and is full of passion for Yeshua! | "Y" the former homosexual from a religious background, has been growing rapidly in the Lord. He has an incredible gift of understanding in the Scripture from the Lord. ... Others across the country have been connected with local congregations and are growing in the Lord - please pray for them to become fruitful disciples...Many others have contacted us even just in the last few weeks." Encouraging testimonies you can read by signing up
to their mailing list

Guy Cohen of the Harvest of Asher congregation in Acco sends such an encouraging word urging us all to "Trust in the LORD". "We the Messianic believers are the pioneers of Israel’s growth and development in the spiritual realm. In Ezekiel 37:14, the chapter on the dry bones, we see that God promises to bring the Nation of Israel back to the land. Looking at the time we are now in, we see a lot of (Covid-based) challenges in the Messianic body. Included in these challenges are how to come together as a congregation....Beyond this there is a physical, spiritual, religious and governmental resistance to the Messianic Body in the land .... However, let us not despise the day of small beginnings. Zechariah 4:10 We are in a birthing process....We could not stand and do the work here in the land without the nations’ support through prayer and intercession. You are our midwife. 

Carmel congregation led by Dani & LeAnne Sayag also encourage us in "these difficult and extremely challenging days." We can do that because "The Lord has something new for each one of us. This is the time to embrace what He has for us now." They are doing much via Zoom meetings, with evangelistic videos, continuing humanitarian outreach in their community. They write, " We deeply appreciate all your prayers, encouragements, and support that enable us to continue reaching out to the people of Israel with the good news of salvation in Yeshua. May He pour out upon you His abundant grace to empower you for this new season ahead!"

In addition to the excellent "Lands of the Covenant," Avi Tekle of Tents of Mercy wrote on 11/3 about their food distribution outreaches to hundreds of families affected by the Covid 19 crisis as well as families already in need. With Year End Giving coming up, they ask for your prayerful consideration for a gift to the ministry. Help here & Also watch online Shabbat Services every Saturday at 10:30 am Israel time.

Rania Sayegh is the Christian Arab intercessor who have the wonderful vision last week about the eagle rising out of the caked on mud in Philadelphia. Since then we have learned so much about rampant election fraud going on in major Democrat held cities and Philadelphia has emerged as "ground zero" of the legal challenge the president's legal teams have mounted. Even in the USA many do not realize the magnitude of the election fraud that happened this year and has been happening for years, the reason being the unprecedented level of information suppression and censorship that is going on.  What we need is a true miracle from God breakthrough. That's what Rania's vision seemed to indicate but we have to pray in agreement with that vision to bring it down to earth. Please stop right now and pray in agreement with a miracle breakthrough of deliverance for the USA as Rania's vision indicated. Thank you!

American Christians boldly stand for Israel and advance support for us in many ways.... We are praying: that God would bless America for her faithful stand for Israel; that God's perfect will be accomplished in America." They also write, " God has highlighted to us that now is the time to make essential improvements to our livestream capabilities and to our media in general: we are meeting with professionals who can help us improve our livestream quality and are trying to develop a more robust online outreach in Hebrew. We ask that you please pray for us as we tackle these challenges: that we would find the right professionals for the needed improvements, that our media team would have grace and wisdom in developing our online outreach, and that God would provide the resources for all these endeavors!" website

Michael Beener at City of Life in Sderot are continuing to press into humanitarian aid to their city despite the challenges, difficulties and uncertainities related to Covid. We are all experiencing it, aren't we? Yet in Israel, I have to tell you there is even greater pressures bearing on them as they live in the ground zero of the spiritual battleground of our faith. Please open your hearts to these ministries who are putting one  foot in front of the other, continuing to help as they are made able through the believers in the world that God urges one day to the next to come alongside them to help sustain the ministry. Michael writes about the grocery vouchers they are supplying to Single Parent , Elderly, Holocaust Survivors and Needy Families, and also diapers for children and adults. If you can, they need partners in prayer and in financial support. 

Orna Grinman's new Anointed and Crowned blog post looks at a couple of incidents in the Bible that remind her of the unfolding drama in the US elections.

The Kerem-El congregation in the Carmel region is led by Yonatan Arnold and Stefan & Keren Silver, and they, like all the Israeli ministries have been going through difficult and challenging times, with all the taxing Israeli Covid restrictions. Yet they continue to meet the challenges, minister to their congregants, do outreach for the needy, minister to the young and the old. They share the testimony of one of their congregants who started 2020 with advanced cancer that had spread to his liver. Currently on his 18th round of chemo & doctors did not give a positive outlook. But he tested for & was accepted to a selective biological treatment along with the chemo and on his last scan no cancer was shown. In December he will get an MRI that to determine the best course going forward. They write, " Throughout this journey, Gabe has lived out his faith in Yeshua, taking opportunities to share the Gospel with other patients in the hospital, the doctors and nurses. His joy and love for the Lord continue to shine through, a powerful testimony to the faithfulness of God even in the midst of hardship upon hardship." In all we go through, it is good to remember the mercies of God.

They also write, " Would you consider financially partnering with Kerem-El for this season? We have several specific needs in light of the Covid-19 outbreak - in video recording equipment and in financial aid for the needy. Go here for for giving options and details
