 A Vision of Horses coming out of the Allegheny River
by Rania Sayegh
Nazareth Christian Arab Prophetic Intercessor HOPE | House of Prayer & Exploits
 

Nov 30, 2020: While praying for the US, I saw a big herd of horses whose color was a deep silver - like a dark shiny silver. They were moving, running and coming out of a river. (I felt in my spirit that this was the Allegheny River). I kept on looking and then as they were coming out, in particular I noticed seven bigger horses that were larger in size than the rest. They held in their mouths golden plumblines. 

The horses came out of the water looking like warrior horses moving towards the land of America. They spread out in different directions, towards the north, south, east and west. As they spread out, their locations around the nation created a crown with the plumblines forming the seven edges of this golden crown.

Each plumbline then became or transformed into a portal and stairway to heaven. These edges of the crown ultimately became like open doors and portals into heaven. Here, the light of God’s glory was coming down into the dark places to disperse the darkness. Warring Angels were descending and ascending from these portals.
    

Then I heard the Lord saying: “My war cry is being released through my victorious remnant in this hour, I’m sending my warrior chariots of glory and fire to release the plumbline of truth of heaven into the land and disperse the darkness that is trying to take over the land. You shall hear the thunder voice of my roar through these warriors. The courtroom of heaven has heard the appeal of my righteous remnant in the land. Watch for the underground river that will flow from within the land where it will wash away injustice and oppression and shake the evil structure from within the land. For within the river my healing will come and overflow to the four corners of the nation. The movement and the momentum that has been released in prayer is raising the levels of the waters in the river. Watch the waters of my Spirit rising which will cause my rivers to flood and flow over the land with healing and cleansing!

     “Release your war cry for the plumbline of my truth to come down over the land and create my throne, my government as well as my kingship in the government of the US for such a time as this!"

      Hate evil, love good; establish justice in the gate. It may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. (Amos 5:15) ....But let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream. (Amos 5:24)

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

Maoz Ministries in Tel Aviv, Ari & Shira Sorko-Ram and Kobi & Shani Ferguson, send us the stories of individuals and families they were able to come alongside with help in time of need this year through the IStandwithIsrael humanitarian program they lead. One woman whose life in Israeli's Ministry of Defense was memorialized in a movie, discovered she had cancer last year but needed to move closer to Haifa to get her frequent treatments. Her congregational leaders reached out to IStandwithIsrael for help and she says within weeks everything changed. This is how it works —the body helping the members of the body whether they belong to their congregation or not. Another elderly woman from another congregation also needed and received help. And a couple who needed training to become a tour guide: " I saw that in Eilat we could both be a spiritual light, ministering to people–as well as being a tour guide in the desert and helping connect tourists to Israel in a unique way. Less holy sites–more Holy Land." For more of the stories  

Dov Bikas who does evangelism & outreach among drug addicts & victims of sexual abuse in S-Tel Aviv writes that the Tel Aviv outreach has continued under all the 2020 circumstances including strict lockdowns and risky epidemiological situations. Also their rehab center in Beersheva has been full all the time: "we have seen progress in our rehabilitants’ recovery, especially in the lives of A. and S. we have written to you about recently." The highlight has been ' the opening of our new Women’s Shelter and its rapid development. This work turned out to be more challenging than we had expected, but at the same time it is so eye-opening and rewarding! Today 6 ladies live in the Shelter, and those who have already spent some time in it do show positive change in their physical, psychological and some – even spiritual state." They write, "On the threshold of 2021 we commit ourselves anew before the Lord and all of you to keep sharing the Gospel with our people, helping the poorest of the poor, reaching out to the outcasts of the society, discipling new believers, picking up the fallen, and abiding by the principles of accountability and financial transparency." It takes a special heart to minister in these fields of harvest, please consider supporting the work of this ministry.

Chuck Cohen of the Intercessors for Israel in Jerusalem sends his Friday Prayer Points   12/4/2020 giving prayer points for the looming (threatened) new elections for Israel, for expected increase of Palestinian terrorism should Biden be sworn in as president (to pressure him into forcing a "peace deal" they like with Israel), and concerns that Iran will fulfill their threats of revenge over the recent assassination of the Iranian nuke-scientist.

Rachel and Gilad Netanel continue to minister with great hospitality and love of people in sharing the Good News in Ein Kerem, Israel. One of visitors, a caregiver for a little girl can only eat from tubes connected directly to her stomach, has opened a door of opportunity to minister to the family. The little girl has 'adopted' Rachel as a "Safta" (grandmother) and her real grandmother is so blessed by their kindness, she brings the child to visist the Netanel's. Pray for this family to be touched by God as their hearts are opening to the testimony of Yeshua. Also pray for Rachel's brother, who had a stroke a few months ago. He continues to have challenges and has two caretakers, who are also drawn close to the Natanel's as they visit and pray for Meyer. Another friend recently brought 8 guests to their home for a meal and her testimony. They ask prayer for all these mentioned - for healing, restoration, and spiritual miracles in each of their lives.  

Dani Sayag of the HaCarmel congregation recently preached on Jeremiah 1:11 “What do you see?” asked the Lord. In Jeremiah 1:11, God is speaking to the young prophet who responded that he saw an almond branch. “Ani sho-ked al dvari la’asoto,” in English, “I am watching over my Word to perform it.” Watch the VIDEO . Their monthly ministry letter also tells "L's" Story of how Covid changed her congregational life - the online Zoom meetings instead of keeping people farther apart, she found began to deepen her relationships with brothers and sisters in the congregation, as it gave more opportunity to learn about each other’s lives and challenges, and to discover mutual interests. She writes, "Thanks be to God, Who has brought great blessings out of this 'plague'."

Among the HaCarmel prayer points are for the new concerns over the Iran; prayers for a decrease in corona cases, for their outreaches where they are seeing the Lord is opening hearts increasingly across Haifa, for the 35 women and children who have been provided refuge in their shelter; for the ongoing building repairs they are doing, and the media equipment upgrade to meet the needs of connecting their congregants to online ministry, prayers for all their financial needs to met so they can meet more needs of their area. "As Pastor Dani shared, we need to see people with the eyes and heart of God, trusting they will be ready to receive the good news of salvation." Some recent messages: "Not Forsaking Assembling Together in the Season of Covid" | Youth: "To Be Accepted" | Shabbat/Tuesday 

From Asher Intrater Cleaning Up the Mess in the Charismatic Prophetic World - Part 3 and the Revive Israel team: Help Us Meet Our Goal | Short Video | "I want you to know how much I appreciate your love and commitment to the ministries of Revive Israel! Together with you, we will continue to declare the truth of Yeshua as Messiah and His coming Kingdom with those who need His hope and healing, especially in this season." | Also December Revive Israel Newsletter PDF online | Global Broadcast every Thursday at 3pm Israel Time 

Eliel writes this week for the Tree of Life Ministries that Ariel Hyde leads, with the continuing testimony of Shlomit who as an ultra-orthodox woman began her search for Yeshua (read here). She has at last come to make "a public statement of her faith in Yeshua — even though it would almost certainly mean being completely cut off from her family and community." Now she is being taught how to worship in song and about prayer. Recently she prayed: she prayed: “God, sometimes I think, ‘Why am I doing this to my family, why am I causing so much trouble?’ But then, when I think of what You did for me, how can I deny You? Thank You Jesus that I feel so much freedom in You and that I am no longer under the burden of the Law.” It doesn't end there...her testimony also extends to her cousin who is opposed to her new faith, but is being drawn to Yeshua despite his resistance.

Tree of Life asks prayers for their outreaches to the poor, for the new believers they are ministering to, for the Pro-Life & Gospel campaign, their evangelistic videos and daily follow up with seekers: " for wisdom, anointing, unity, and great fruitfulness, and that many would have their eyes opened to who Yeshua truly is and come to Him!"
 

Avner Boskey has a new article just in time as Hanukkah begins today: The Hanukkah – the fake news, the real news and the kosher message. In the introductory comments he writes, "Only after I had a life-changing personal encounter with Yeshua the Messiah of Israel did I begin to discern the real meaning of the Messianic faith, the reason for the season – the prophesied birth of the Jewish Messiah, and His coming to earth in order to give His life as an atonement for all peoples (but with priority to His own Jewish people – Romans 1:16), a Yom Kippur gift to pay for my sins and to wash away my rebellious ways. Most Christians (and many Jews too!) are similarly confused about the message of Hanukkah." 

The Aliyah Return Center sends a VIDEO message at Susita: Galilean Mountain Fortress which "is mentioned in almost every gospel." Also a VIDEO on The Herzl Project | VIDEO Watch our live delivery of food and clothes for the needy! Click to read more or visit our Facebook to watch our weekly Aliyah News videos!

Even during difficult times, Michael Beener in S'derot City of Life congregation says they are pressing forward Feeding the Hungry of Our City, doing  Raditor Heaters Distribution for Needy Families  and other Compassionate Outreach Projects. They are also doing Essential Repairs to a Holocaust Survivor’s Home. We invite you to be part of our ministry so that together we can bring hope to our border town of Sderot.

[ DONNA: I know that American Christians see the expensive, emotional TV ads raising funds for Holocaust survivors in horrible poverty that the Fellowship of Christians and Jews spend huge amounts on commercials during all the holidays. They spend major money on those commercial buys...and major money of funding their own salaries. It is not that they are not doing good, it is just that YOU can do so much better meeting the needs of Holocaust survivors - physical and spiritual - by donating to the Israeli Messianic ministries. Almost every single one of them do humanitarian outreach to Holocaust survivors. I know high profile Christians like Mike Huckabee encourage you to give to IFCJ, but he is just ignorant of how much better your donations could benefit the Holocaust needy when passing through the distribution hands of Jewish BELIEVERs in Yeshua. I urge you to reconsider your giving.]

Jackie Santoro of Ahavat Yeshua congregation and Zion's Glory ministry writes about A New Thing in the face of a year of Covid lockdowns she writes, "No one really has patience anymore for closures and there continue to be weddings and funerals which go against the rules and many instances of illegal parties with large numbers of people and of course the weekly demonstrations against the government. . . . And in the midst of all the ongoing virus confusion and disunity,  Israel is now tottering on the brink of new elections. The political disunity has reached critical mass and it appears that it can no longer continue in its present form.. . . yet in the midst of all the turmoil, there are new things happening! Israelis are going for the first time ever to Dubai for vacation! And they are very warmly welcomed. Israeli airlines can now for the first time ever fly over Saudi Arabian airspace to the UAE and parts beyond.  And there are all kinds of economic cooperation ventures that are being planned with our new Arab friends, not to mention security cooperation as seen by the assassination of the Iran nuclear scientist." 

Perhaps the most exciting new thing Jackie reports: "There are many reports of Israelis interested in the gospel, requesting Bibles and actually coming to faith. Though still relatively small in numbers, it feels as if it is a new beginning and we know that the spread of the gospel cannot be stopped! I read in the Israeli newspaper that the number of ultra religious (Haredim) who were leaving their communities has doubled during this time of the pandemic. May it increase exponentially and may we see multitudes come to faith. The enemy will not get the victory!" She writes, "Chanukah is just a few days away and as we light the candles... we will declare the victory of Yeshua, the true light, over the darkness. Even the darkness will be as light in Him! Thank you for praying for Israel and standing so faithfully with those of us in the Land."

Cody Archer in the Golan with Fields of Wheat sends a VIDEO Tour of My Garden who is now taking a course that teaches topics like water management, soil, pests, growing vegetables and fruit, agriculture in cities, raising animals, use of technology in farming, and marketing produce. He writes, "I have already had opportunities to share about my faith with my teacher and fellow students. Pray for me as I know many more opportunities will come, especially as I will be volunteering 30 hours with a local organic vegetable farm. I am excited to use what I am learning both for my personal gardening and for passing on practical tools to the next generation in future discipleship programs we will help lead." They continue to raise funds for a larger vehicle for their family (new baby on the way) and for future discipleship programs. One-time gifts here 

Israel Pochtar sends two VIDOES with Articles Hanukkah — Becoming a Light for Someone and Christmas Coming Full Circle and Returning to Israel, in the last he writes, "... in Israel Christmas is still a foreign concept, and isn’t celebrated at all. How is that possible? The land that gave the world a Savior… doesn’t celebrate at all. To most Israelis, Christmas is just an international holiday that has something to do with a Christmas tree and buying presents. When the true meaning of Christmas couldn’t be father from that!" Israel also sends this important reminder, a testimony that Kindness — Life Changing to Both the Giver and the Receiver.

Norma Sarvis in Jerusalem has a new blog From this Mountain and her latest post is Time to Turn on the lights | The Feast of Chanukah begins Thursday night, 10 December. My first thought of Chanukah is always: Lights! It is known as the Feast of Lights, and each night for eight nights we light the number of candles corresponding to the day. First night--1 candle, second night--2 candles, etc. We use the 'shamash' or 'servant' candle to light the others. Martin and I like to use oil candles like those in this photo, because oil is so symbolic…of light, and anointing, and healing and Presence...

Kehila News Israel has many articles, I'm going to catch you up on some of my favorites:  One For Israel Staff writes Columbus and his passion for Jerusalem. Talia Voice sends a warning: Beware the Church of Almighty God / Eastern Lightning. Estera Wieja spreads the word of the work Red Carpet: Making Homeless Women of Tel Aviv Feel Beautiful 

Kehila's sister site, All Israel News is aggregating news & events impacting Israel and the Middle East. It is run by Joel Rosenberg who made Israel his home in 2014. In a recent All Israel News email they discuss: 1) Will government ministers vote to dissolve the Knesset and send the country to new elections? | 2) Will Iran retaliate against Israel — as it is threatening — for the targeted assassination of its top nuclear scientist? | 3) What sort of new economic developments can we expect as a Bahraini delegation visits Israel this week?

2020: The Year I Got a Course Correction ...on the Prophetic

by Donna Diorio

Before this year, I had it all worked out: the prophets I completely ignored and the ones I trusted. Then it was like they were playing a game of Musical Chairs where they all marched around the chairs while the music was playing and then sat down in the chair closest to them as soon as the music stopped - and when the music stopped, it was a different issue and all the prophets that I previously had been ignoring for years were sitting in the seat that I believed was truth-speaking, and the ones I trusted were not. 

I decided that I must have had it wrong, that it wasn't that the prophets I had previously blown off were all wrong and the ones I trusted were always right - it was that I needed to go back to judging the individual words given, not judging the prophet as I had been. 

This all came to my understanding this year. I'm not saying there are no completely untrustworthy prophets that should be completely ignored, but I am saying that if a prophet gets something - even several things wrong in a certain season of their life, that I should continue just to judge their individual prophecies, it is right or wrong? does it bear out or flake out? does it bear witness in my own spirit that it is from God.

I have nothing else to go on but these things, and I believe God allowed me to experience this course correction in my own judgment of prophets and prophecies in 2020 because of the days that are coming. I have a fairly high measure of discernment, and I need to trust what God is speaking to me no matter which prophet is speaking.

Let His Light light our way in 2021
