Priority Prayer Focus Sep 13, 2017
What are we focused on as the world grows darker spiritually by the day? I don't mean that we turn a blind eye to the spiritual sickness we see throughout the world, or to the increasing disasters that were prophesied before the end would come? It would be silly and even foolish to live in such a faith bubble that we would not recognize the fact of this present darkness.
Equally foolish would be to ignore the flip side of end times prophecies, like Isaiah 60:1-2 "Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you.…"

This is the time to focus on the good things
that the biblical prophecies have to say about the days when lawlessness and
spiritual darkness increase, yet Yeshua said that despite the signs of wars,
famines, natural disasters, the end would not come without the major outpouring
of the Holy Spirit upon Israel and upon the nations. Let's keep our focus, so
that "all Israel shall be saved". We serve a God who brings us great
hope for the future, we should not be fearful of what lies ahead of us.

Starting this week with a correction from last
week: I identified the Jerusalem Prayer Tower as part of the ministry of Kobi
& Shani Ferguson of Yeshua Israel in Jerusalem, however they have not been
at that ministry in several years. Currently they are involved in a
professional recording studio for the worship ministries of Israel, as well as
their on-going focus on family discipleship and helping the needy. To learn

Requests from Israeli Ministries
From the Revive Israel team, several items
from Asher Intrater, like Prayer and politics, commenting on the
clip of US President Trump asking for a day of national prayer in the wake of
Hurricane Harvey on the Texas Gulf Coast - also this video by Asher: Are the hurricanes and floods from God? And
another video by Asher on how do we teach young people
to give messages in the congregation and teach the bible? How To Teach the Gospel.
Also included in this Revive Israel ministry letter a way you can be involved in an outreach they help fund for believing kids and adults in broken families and single parent households in their community through working with horses in equine therapy. See inside the Weekly Summary attachment how you can play a part. There is also a great little piece by Don Finto, The First Button - "First things first! I'll never forget Bob Benson's illustration about the buttons on a shirt. Get the first button right, and all the others will be in line. Get that first button wrong, and the whole shirt will be lopsided."

Plus a short report on the Zoe Ministries
Conference in Jerusalem where a network of 50+ Korean churches came for 4 days
of prayer, worship and teaching based on Ephesians. The Revive Israel Korea
team and Jerusalem team participated in the conference.
n relation to this, I am also re-running an announcement from a few weeks back on the new book coming soon from Asher Intrater called "Alignment". This book covers some important ground which we all need to prayerfully consider as "We are entering into a final transition age similar to the book of Acts. The apostolic and the apocalyptic are converging. Biblical pattern is becoming living prophecy. Alignment leads to revival; the manifest glory of God will rest on the city of Jerusalem and the people of God everywhere. The nations of the world will be lined up on one side or the other. Watch the video message from Asher. I, Donna, have read this book and highly recommend it to all both in Israel and in the nations. See more inside the Weekly Summary attachment

Howard Bass of the Nachalat Yeshua (Yeshua's Inheritance) congregation in Beer Sheva starts his prayer letter with thoughts and prayers for those suffering in Houston and Florida from the hurricanes. Let me just say that we in the US really appreciate your prayers, as the devastation has been pretty overwhelming. The news concentrates on Houston in Hurricane Harvey, but the truth is that the whole southern Texas Gulf Coast from Corpus Christi to Beaumont has been wiped out. This area is huge in oil refineries, Gulf drilling and shipping ports - and many Texas living and working along the whole stretch have been devasted by the floods. As Howard notes, "... such things are becoming more frequent and more devastating than in times past. Famines, earthquakes, pestilence are nightly news items across the world. As the last days get nearer to their end some years down the road, we can only expect more, and a difficulty to cope and to recover. Yet in the love of God, He has told us these things in advance, so that our hearts can rest in Him even as we are pummeled all around." Yes, and amen! Thank you for prayers. We have seen in Texas, for example, that faith-based humanitarian aid has outdistanced what the Federal Emergency Management Agency has done to help those devasted. This is a witness to those in need!
Howard writes, "With these things in
mind, here are two links to teachings that I just gave, the first in Singapore, the second to our congregation yesterday. With these teachings in mind, while in
Singapore, I had a chance to participate in a discipleship school, called
Making Disciples of All Nations. There
is much good teaching and examples provided in this school (and seven nations
were present for the 5 days) of how to influence our societies as believers."

Eric Benson is the head of the House of
Victory, Beit Nitzachon, in Haifa, which is a rehab for men in Israel who are
seeking to be free of addictions. They literally go into the highways and
byways to seek men who are ready to end the self-destructive addictive life. It
is the type of ministry that can be very emotionally taxing, as addicts go back
and forth in their desire to be free or return to the addiction. They are people
who generally have lost everything that ever meant anything to them. In this
ministry letter, Eric tells many of the stories of men that they are currently
ministering to - plus some wonderful reports on men who have overcome
addictions and come back to an abundant life on the Rock of Yeshua. Read about
these men and get the prayer requests submitted by Eric inside the

Daniel and Shirya Yahav are the leaders of the
Face of God Fellowship (Peniel) in Tiberias, which is still, I believe the
largest congregation in Israel. The operate a school for their children, which
Shira tells us is a little bit crowded currently as they are having to double
up in the kindergarten building while desperately needed renovations are going on in the older kids
school building. They hope to complete the work by December and this is an area
where prayers are welcomed because of common delays in construction work. The school kids did get a special invite by
the Israel director general of the ministry of science & technology, at the
local computer education center. The manager
of the place told our headmaster that "your kids behave the best from all
the schools we know, therefore we invited you to come". Read more from the congregation, which is

From Ari & Shira Sorko-Ram's Maoz
Ministries an invitation to participate in the publication and distribution of
a Narrated Bible in Chronological Order in HEBREW. They write, " We don't
know how the view looks from your country, but from our vantage point here in
Israel, we see signs of the soon-coming of the Lord.
There are three events that Yeshua Himself said must take place before
His Second Coming:
1. The Gospel will be preached to all nations.
2. Jerusalem will be trampled upon by the
nations until the times of the nations are fulfilled.
3. The Jewish people will greet the return of Yeshua, saying
"Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord."
YOUR GIFT to translate the Narrated Bible in
Chronological Order into HEBREW will literally bring the Word of God to Israel!

Who is Knocking on my Door?
Managing your painful
thoughts and feelings, so they won't manage you
By Orna Grinman, "Ot OoMofet"
ministry, Israel
Why do we struggle so much with various chronic
problems? Doesn't God promise us a real and lasting victory? Will we only enjoy
it in Heaven? What about now?
Anger, fear, depression, frustration - how come
they are so much more powerful than the “positive” ones? Why do they they take
over our horizon and cause us to forget the good things? The painful thoughts
and emotions affect our decision making and quality of relationships, drain our
strength and resources, and make our daily routine unbearable at times.
“Who is knocking on your door?” answers these
questions, and equips the reader with two extremely efficient tools. These
tools have caused a revolution in the life of the writer, and in those of many
others, ho decided to manage their thoughts and emotions, so that these won’t
manage them.
