Israel continues to feel the threat on their borders from Iranian-backed proxies - and revenge attacks threatened by the Gaza-based Islamic Jihad after the IDF killed several terrorists in the terror tunnel explosion.
Israel continues to feel the threat on their borders from Iranian-backed proxies - and revenge attacks threatened by the Gaza-based Islamic Jihad after the IDF killed several terrorists in the terror tunnel explosion.
To deal with the latter, Israel has placed their Iron Dome defense
system in central Israel and has beefed up its security arrangements. For the
northern borders, today Israel's Defense Minister Liberman commented after
two-day tour of northern border, examining forces' preparedness: "The IDF
is ready and well prepared for any scenario, we maintain complete freedom of
operations....We will not allow Syria to become a frontline against the State
of Israel."
Keep Israel in your
prayers.

Last week we started with the news that the
Interior Ministry is trying to build a case against the Hyde family of Heart of
God Ministries - and we re-up the prayer request this week. The MOI (Ministry
of the Interior) is hostile against the followers of Yeshua on a good day, much
less when it is headed by the ultra-Orthodox Shas party. The current head, Arye
Deri is a special threat - so please pray for him for salvation but that also
God will neutralize him as a threat to ALL the Jewish followers of Yeshua.

about the Tel Aviv Tiferet Yeshua congregation: "God has been increasing
His grace during worship, allowing us to enter into a deeper place of
submersion in His presence." This is also drawing new seekers and

great series of prayer points, not only for their congregation, but for all the
Israeli congregations inside the Weekly Summary attachment

big prayer request is also located in the Healing section - that is that Shlomy

Eddie and Jackie Santoro are wrapped up with
their US tour and headed back home to Jerusalem and the Ahavat Yeshua
congregation. Much of Eddie's testimony in the US was regarding his healing
and, "One of the powerful tools that I believe encouraged my victory over
death and the grave has been the Word of God. To this day I invest a lot of
time every morning just listening to God's Word." He shares a source: Healing
Verses set to soothing music for soaking in God's Word. "We thank you
deeply for your love and support. May the blessings of God overflow in all of
our lives."
Martin Sarvis sends a super picture that he
and Norma caught one day of "coruscating" clouds over Jerusalem last
week. The cloud formation was like an array of flashes, like rays of light
coming up from the horizon and radiating outward (see picture inside the Weekly Summary attachment).
Martin writes about how "Zion is
mentioned over 60 times in the Bible: 40 times in the Psalms, 47 in Isaiah, 17
in Jeremiah, 30 in the Minor Prophets.
Almost all of these passages deal in some way with Jerusalem or some
part of Jerusalem, God’s love and plans for her and those dwelling there; or,
the love of His children for Zion to which God is returning to reign! The
meaning of the word Zion (Hebrew: tzi’on) is not certain—it may be related to
another word tzi’un which is spelled the same way, and which means a “marker”
or a “sign” (Jeremiah 31:21; Ezekiek 39:15).
Certainly, God’s dealings with Zion/Jerusalem are often used as a sign
to the nations!" Read more
including his prayer points on this sign to the nations inside the Weekly Summary attachment
Martin also gives a great background on the
Kurds, why we should be praying for them and what he makes of earthquake on the
borders of Iraqi Kurdistan. For example: " An oft-persecuted race, they
are the largest people group not to have held, for over 2000 years, personal
sovereignty over the lands in which they have lived. And they are the one large
people-group in this part of the world who have a long history of friendliness
towards the Jews." Please read
& put them in your hearts.

So ''Thank-You'' again for your spiritual support while sharing this special miracle in my life!

My
Word
A Historic Time When the Ancient Call is Being Restored to Jerusalem
by Donna Diorio
I have to say that for some time I have really feared for many prophets I see going to Israel. I'm glad to see them loving on Israel, but I do have fear for them obviously thinking that they can minister in Israel exactly like they can in their own nation or even other nations. Because of the season we are in and the lack to true understanding of the significance of the body of believers in Yeshua that God is raising up in Israel, that it is dangerous for prophets - even true prophets - to prophesy in Israel out of order.
Think of this in terms of Uzzah being struck
dead when he reached out and touched the ark that was being moved back to
Jerusalem in 2 Sam 6. In a very real
sense, the raising of the body of Messiah in Israel - including all of the
5-fold ministries of apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher and evangelist - is very
much like the ark being returned to Jerusalem and there is a proper order to
it. Now Uzzah reached out to steady the ark - he was trying to do good - but he
was out of order, which is why God struck him dead. There was only supposed to
be Levites touching the Ark.
The interesting thing about the Levites is
that among the tribes of the children of Israel, the tribe of Levi had no land
inheritance because the LORD was their inheritance. Having seen how the
ministries of Israel are so under-funded compared to the ministries in America
and other places, I do make an association to Israeli Messianic ministries
being comparable to the "Levites" in the 2 Samuel 6 story, and the
international prophets being like Uzzah - meaning well, but not understanding
the proper order that God has initiated. Today in Israel as He is
raising up the body of Messiah as a witness, not only in Israel to Israelis but
as a witness to the nations, there is a proper order much like the order that
was in effect as the Ark was being returned to Jerusalem after captivity/exile
in Gaza.
It is imperative in my view that the international prophets preserve the
integrity of the witness that God has placed in the Israeli prophets in their
own nation. How? By respecting
the order of accountability to the local Israeli leadership.
