Video Prophetic Prayer Alert from Rick Ridings at Succat Hallel, Jerusalem


Not Yet!

This is a 7:42 minute video prayer alert from Rick Ridings of Succat Hallel which covers important ground facing Israel.
It includes a vision that Ridings had in January of 2018, which he was reminded of recently during a worship and intercessory prayer set at Succat Hallel. Just as he remembered the vision and was preparing to share it, Tel Aviv pastor Avi Mizrachi shared a similar word.

Now every individual hearer must judge prophecy, if it bears witness that this is what the Lord is speaking at this time, then receive it. I do receive it as a word for right now and when I heard it in the past, it was not so immediate to me. I urge subscribers to be more active in discerning prophecy rather than just receiving all prophecy.
For those of you who are much more skeptical of prophecy, I will tell you at the core of this video, Rick Ridings is sharing many important and immediate need prayer points for intercessors to pray on behalf of Israel the coming weeks. Click here Not Yet! to watch the video on YouTube.

Rick Riding's written 2018 vision, The Lion of Judah, Jerusalem and the Nations January 30, 2018 | "As we were worshipping in Succat Hallel, I saw the majesty and sovereignty of the Lion of Judah, as He sat on a Throne above the Temple Mount.  He was so perfectly calm, so absolutely in control.  He had been watching for a long time to the North, South, East, and West as thousands of small demons had been frantically building wooden bridges to Jerusalem...."

Arrows from Zion
Summarized from the Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests Israeli Ministries by subscription only donna@israelprayer.com
The Sorko-Ram's have big news to share as 3 of their Music Making For Kids vocalists performed in an vocal competition that drew 133 singers internationally from ages 5 to 25. Cultural Arts are very important among the Jewish people, so is developing the gifts of their children to be fully integrated into Israeli society a vision of the Messianic Jews in Israel. No self-imposed religious ghetto-ization for these Messianic Israelis, who embrace the whole people of Israel and encourage their congregants and families to walk in excellence in every field their personal giftings from God takes them.

Maoz also comes with a big announcement in the July Maoz Israel Report and it is told by Shani Sorko-Ram Ferguson in a fascinating family history story,
We've Expanded Our Tent. I will cut to the chase here, but urge you to read Shani's excellent article. In the end, she announces that husband Kobi and she will be transitioning into the future leaders of Maoz Israel starting immediately. In this process they will be merging all of Yeshua Israel’s activities and team members with the Maoz Israel team. Shani shares how excited they are, but also adds: "Of course we would love the prayer covering for this time period as so many important decisions are being hashed through and made."

Next, and a new-ish ministry to Arrows are Chaim and Ruti Singerman who run discipleship programs in Israel, a Fall Feasts Journey in Israel and a Discipleship Journey in Israel. Now we know previously of the Singerman's discipleship programs through Revive Israel, who also sent this notice of their close cooperation with the Singerman's programs, although they are not formally part of the Revive ministry.

Also, in the Fall Feasts Journey, there is a portion of the journey that takes part in the Galilee at the Aliya Return Center, which Chaim and Deanna Malespin operate to receive new immigrants to Israel in the ARC village (which is fabulous to behold - watch here). In affiliation with the Singermans, the Fall Feasts Journey participants will get to serve, helping new Jewish immigrants begin the process of their new lives in Israel. As Chaim said, getting into the airplane to get to Israel was the easy part. Getting settled in, learning Hebrew through immersion (!) and a dozen other major adjustments is what is tough. This is why you see so many Israeli ministries who do humanitarian outreaches to the new immigrant communities. Getting to Israel is the easy part, becoming Israeli is the challenging leg of the journey. So, these are exceptional partnership ministries that give Christian "tourists" much more spiritual enrichment than a simple sightseeing tour of the Holy Land.

Ron Cantor's Middle East Update kicks off with the propaganda of PLO liberal activist Linda Sarsour in the US made recently that Jesus was actually Palestinian! (What a lie!). Ron writes on many recent headline news made: Left-wing activist tweets: ‘Jesus was Palestinian’. Netanyahu’s son calls her “stupid” | Israeli intelligence helped thwart 50 overseas ISIS attacks | Israel uncovers 18th cross-border attack tunnel from Gaza | Jerusalem court: PA must pay compensation for Hamas, Jihad terror attacks

Joseph Magan, the founder of KehilaNews.AllIsrael.com/ is also the son-in-law of Howard Bass who leads the Yeshua's Inheritance congregation in Beer Sheva. Like other ministries in Israel, Joseph's platform for the Messianic community in Israel can only keep providing this great resource to international Christians if it has adequate support from the nations. In fact, not only Christian support, but imagine what could be done if the Messianic Jewish congregations in just the English-speaking nations of the world caught the vision for Magan and the Kehila staff were doing in connecting Israeli ministries with international Christians. Isn't that a plus for all Messianic Jews everywhere?

Patti Juster, in the personal  Restoration from Zion ministry letter with husband Dr. Daniel C Juster, writes about how faith is tested through trials, but even when there is great suffering experienced in the trial, there is a secret of God that we are able to come through it as gold, purified by the fire. Patti writes from having experienced such suffering, she and Dan when they lost their son in a house fire. She also equates it to the prevailing faith she saw in Eddie and Jackie Santoro has they experienced their own trial by fire over three years. Patti commends Jackie, because while Eddie battled cancer, Jackie's love, courage and faith also came through the fire of it as gold. She reminds me of the need to lift up Jackie Santoro today as she is continuing in the path that she walked out for so long with Eddie by her side. Remember the godly widows within Israel's Messianic community and call them blessed in the name of the LORD.

Also, this has unfolded too late to put in the Weekly Summary, but a horrible auto accident has taken the lives of a wife and her infant of a Messianic family. The husband is in a medially induced coma and another child has survived without significant injuries. Howard Bass writes about the family of Russian immigrants who attended services in Beer Sheva at times when the husband's work had him there. The Israeli Messianic community is shaken by this horrible loss of life. Please pray for this man, his surviving child and for the community at large who has suffered many losses in recent weeks.

 To return to the Juster's ministry letter, Dan also encourages becoming full covenant partners with their ministry which is an international apostolic and equipping ministry with purpose to form solid networks of leaders around the world to partner towards the restoration of five-fold ministry (Eph. 4:11-13), building up the body so that we can all advance the unity of faith for Israel and the Church.
You can also connect with Dan on his official Facebook page for many more updates and comments on immediate happenings, both in the news and in ministry.

Marianna Gol's ministry in Omer, Israel, Streams in the Desert, serves "widows and orphans".  This term is not letter-of-the-law widows and orphans, but they help single moms and at risk children in their community. They do this with practical means as well as spiritual ministry. What Marianna shares in her ministry letters really gets into the detailed nature of what it means to be a spiritual widow or a spiritual orphan. These are real people, alone, abandoned and struggling in life. This is where women's ministries like Marianna Gol's and Orna Grinman's A Sign and Example, really make a powerful difference in lives in their communities. I will not share the prayer requests Marianna has sent on behalf of two mothers in terrible situations, their children, and a young man she is also asking urgent prayer for here; their stories are too complicated to share in few words. But I will ask you to lift up these 3 people to God, who knows exactly their situations...and I encourage you to connect directly with Marianna and Orna if your heart is moved by ministry to women.  Pray for them, too. They need their arms lifted up by the support of the saints.

Asher Intrater's ministry puts out this July Revive Team Update. Also VIDEOS: Building Cross-Cultural Friendships and Don Finto Championing Covenantal Relationships. Patti Juster's Learning From My Mistake VIDEO Obedience Before Anointing. Asher's video prayer request: Social And Economic Justice for Jewish Ethiopians and his book, Heroines, a study of a dozen women in the Bible who walked by faith. ...and lastly a cool gift idea that proceeds (after operating costs) go to support Revive Israel & Tikkun Global family of ministries in Israel and the nations: 18 beautifully designed One New Man REVIVAL TIME Hebrew Watches (Revival Time is closely associated with and endorsed by Revive Israel/ Tikkun Global, but is not a constituent member)

From Chuck Cohen of Intercessors for Israel in Jerusalem in Friday Prayer Points 7/12/19 (click to read in full) "Besides our brother Eliyahu, there have been a number of other Israeli believers who have gone on to glory recently. As we gathered this morning, we were lead to proclaim His Lordship over all, even in the face of these very great losses. For this end Messiah both died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. Rom. 14:9 | We proclaim You Yeshua, as Lord of all (Acts 10:36), our God who reigns on high (Psa. 103:19) | Even when it will be the height of the Anti-Christ's rule, You will still reign (Rev. 17:17)

Israel Pochtar sends an update of their work among the elderly and the medically needed, grateful they are able to deliver genuine blessings like medical chairs to a local hospice caring for bedridden people, or walkers to some 80 elderly who have mobility issues. Do you see the good will in their communities that Messianic Jews are able to cultivate in the name of Yeshua? Is this not a testimony worth its weight in gold? Really, I wish I could convey all the ways they are doing outreach like this among Holocaust Survivors and among rehabs for special needs individuals. So I urge you to connect with the ministry directly to learn more. They also involve their youth in order to cultivate a heart of helping others, of servanthood. They help assemble food packets for the need and work in the soup kitchens for a neighborhood plagued with homelessness and addictions. Watch BH Youth in action

Financial provision is top on the list of ALL the Israeli ministries. I have a such a desire to see Christians awaken to moving their financial blessings from good works to God's best, the spiritual laborers in the Israeli field of harvest!

Howard Bass writes from the un-air-conditioned Negev desert (!) where life is going on despite the oppressive heat - and Israel is in the midst of the earth-scorching season! Pray for them, and for the outbreak of massive fires across Israel because of the dry conditions. He also shared 3 of their 4 now adult children celebrated their baptism anniversaries this week, the 4th celebrates in May, and all continue to walk with the LORD. Howard shares many things in his update but I want to share this in particular as it relates to my commentary last week in My 2¢ regarding speaking evil of brothers.

"This evening the eldership is meeting with the young adults of the congregation to discuss a hot topic going on around the country, just to see where they are, what they know, don't know; what they understand or don't understand.  We want them to be as open as possible with all the brothers and sisters, and other congregations in the country, and even outside.  We also want them to mature in discernment.  A challenge is that they read the Bible themselves, and not only rely on what they hear or are taught by others (including ourselves).  We want them to also become more accustomed to come to the elders to ask us what we might think on a particular topic, or controversy."

Aleksey Raikhstadt, who is the new pastor of the Jaffa/Tel Aviv congregation Beit Immanuel, shares his amazing testimonty of coming to faith in the Far East of Russia. He was 18 and God saved him from himself. Aleksey made a great choice to take him up on His offer! It's a wonderful story, well written and bodes well for the congregation he will lead going forth.

Lastly, Shlomy and Miriam Abramov in Rishon le Zion of Awake Israel ministries shares their recent activities of compassion outreaches, supply outreaches and music; however, the focus is always the Lord. The Witness tours are specifically designed to share the gospel in a Biblical context and a Jewish perspective. They must be doing a great work because it has kicked up INTENSE religious opposition against them. Please read more below in
This is a call to prayer for Shlomy & Miriam Abramov, but also with a biblical application to our role in praying for the Israeli Ministries who stand with the staff of God raised high

Urgent HEALING Needs: Life and Death is in the power of the tongue
Please keep in prayer these Israeli ministry leaders and believers with urgent health needs

CONTINUE to PRAY for the urgent healing needs of Jacob Damkani | Ronit Bender is awaiting results from her heart echo test results although she has she feels so much better - but has had a persistent cough for months now. She will have to go to a lungs doctor...and the heart valve is still leaking. Please continue to pray for Ronit. She has been released to travel to Australia in Oct, and Holland in Nov despite the outstanding issues.| Martin Sarvis has undergone arthroscopic surgery and is now in the healing process and physiotherapy. | Shlomy Abramov of Awake Israel, because of a condition where blood does not flow to his legs as it should, was advised by a specialist in case of injuries, he could lose his leg because of the blood flow issues. Shlomy has to wrap his legs daily because of the blood flow issues. Please pray for Shlomy | Ruth Nessim has recovered from a strong 2-month bout with Sciatica, but her most critical prayer need which she says may required an operation. Please pray for Ruth in Nahariya| Olga Bikas’s health condition that seems to have become chronic, with no hope from the doctors for any improvement in the future. This, no doubt, puts an additional emotional and physical burden on our family. Please pray for her acute back pain. | Rania Sayegh asks for prayer of restoration of strength, energy, and complete healing.



This is a call to prayer for Shlomy & Miriam Abramov, but also with a biblical application to our role in praying for the Israeli Ministries who stand with the staff of God raised high

Over the past several days as Shlomy and Miriam Abramov were conducting one of their Biblical Witness bus tours and began to come under harassment by several Orthodox people who were convincing people to leave the bus and other harassment. After that their phone number was distributed on WhatsApp so within a couple of days they have received over 1,000 harassing phone calls which the police said they can do nothing to stop. The Abramov's know that God can stop what man cannot, and they are asking prayers for the phone harassment to be cut off.

Miriam and Shlomy are appealing to God to intervene and asking the prayers of the saints to stand in prayer agreement with them. Miriam told me that they NEED the prayers of the Christians at this time and many Christians are not getting the point that yes, prayer needs to be made for the salvation of the Orthodox, but the Messianic ministers need prayer too for the intense harassments they are going through from religious persecutors. Miriam wrote, "We ask for prayer for US. WE know their eyes need to be opened, but this is a call for US on this."

In other words, as in Exodus 17, when Moses stood prophetically with the staff of God in his upheld arms, the battle against the Amalekites went well for Israel. But when Moses arms and legs grew weary of holding the position high atop the hill in the sight of the Israelites who were being encouraged that God was with them, when Moses dropped his position, the enemy began to prevail. So Aaron and Hur brought a Rock for Moses to sit on, and they held up Moses arms so his arms remained steady till sunset. So Joshua (Yeshua) overcame the Amalekite army with the sword (of the Spirit).

The Amalekites were dwellers in the valley between Edom and Egypt — dwellers in the valley of decision who lived between sin and slavery. It is only the Messianic believers in Israel who are holding up the staff of God in Israel, and Christians are the Aarons & Hurs that are to hold up their arms when they are weary! God commanded Moses to hold up the staff or rod of God and miracles would be worked when he lifted up the staff. WE Christians must see our part clearly as Aaron and Hur lifting up the arms of Moses in the sight of all the people, so that Yeshua's sword of the Spirit goes forth in every battle to prevail - and so shall all Israel be saved!



Response to My 2¢

A couple of weeks back I wrote about how so many Christians give generously to Israeli projects, good works and humanitarian causes, but turn their back on the Israeli ministries who are doing the very same outreaches within their communities in the name of the LORD Yeshua. Soon after I received an email from a subscriber who gave me permission to share these encouraging words with you.

AMEN sister!  THANK YOU for this wake-up call and pray more of us sh'ma and follow! Dear God, please bring all your believing children to the knowledge of sending help "to the Jew first!" I used to support JNF tree/water certificates and other worthy Israeli charities but soon realized that's just pampering myself and pandering to others more than to Abba Yah and supporting siblings in Y'shua. Now I support our believing kindred directly as much as possible.  TODAH RABAH many thanks again for your boldness in speaking up and out!
