20th Anniversary Celebration of House of Prayer and Exploits, 22/11/2024

On 22/11/2024, we had the joy of celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ministry of House of Prayer and Exploits (HOPE). We were 58 people gathered for this special event, incl. a couple of people of Messianic Jewish background, and some internationals. We had an incredible time reviewing the history of the House of Prayer and Exploits, as we watched three different videos together, one being the prophetic history of HOPE, the second one with testimonies of people, whose lives had been changed through the ministry, and an interview with the worship team. Finally, we watched a video with congratulation messages coming from our friends and global family around the world.

Some of the prophetic words spoken over the ministry of HOPE by our global family were as follows:

Pastor Nabil Atallah from Kuwait was emphasizing the significance of numbers in the Bible. We see several times in the Word of God that 20 years is mentioned in connection with slavery and freedom, as for example in the story about Jacob serving Laban for 20 years, before he was released, and God compensated him for everything that was stolen from him. Likewise, the Israelites were oppressed for 20 years under the Canaanite king, but God used Deborah and Barak to release the people and set them free. Pastor Nabil declared prophetically that God is about to bring new anointings of deliverance to the ministry of HOPE, the anointing of Deborah and Barak over this house will be stronger than ever before, the presence of God will be different and more tangible in this place, and many people will receive healing and deliverance.

The second meaning of the number 20 in the Bible is connected to visions and dreams, and Nabil prophesied that God will begin to release more visions and dreams to young and old, and that He will speak using signs, wonders, exploits, dreams and visions. 2 Chronicles 20:20 speaks of the importance of prophecy, and Nabil ended his message saying, “I believe that this is a time when the spirit of prophecy is released over this ministry. We will hear God differently. We will release His word, His message, His encouragements to many people in this coming season, in which God wants to reveal His purposes.”

The next word of encouragement came from Lilo Keller, Switzerland, who declared that HOPE is a house of light. She thanked Rania for her faithfulness, and for the impact she is having also on the ministry of Schleife in Switzerland as a speaker and a friend. She wanted to bless Rania and her team with Psalm 103, and concluded by saying, “We will never forget the goodness of the Lord, and we will celebrate in the middle of the war His faithfulness, His goodness, and a bright future.”

Pastor Andrew and Margaret Abu Ghazaleh were thanking God for everything He has done through the ministry of HOPE during the last 20 years, for the fire burning on the altar always, for all Rania’s sacrifices and tears and waiting on the Lord, for all the young people who have been trained in prayer and in the prophetic, and who are rising up to reach their destinies. Pastor Andrew ended their greeting by saying that they are believing God for a greater influence of His power in Israel and in the nations of the world.

Then Avi Mizrachi, Director of Dugit Ministry, Tel Aviv, brought a short greeting, “Chaya and I love you and bless you for your wonderful work of HOPE Nazareth. God bless you!”

Finally, Pastor Ray and Renaid Almgren, Pittsburg, USA, shared how they have come to visit HOPE several times, that they became family with the young people, and have seen them grow up both spiritually and in the natural. In 2018, Fire for the Nations began receiving donations for HOPE, and it did not take long to see that both ministries were prospering financially because of the partnership. They believe that the best is yet to come. Then, Renaid shared some prophetic points based on a dream she had just had about Rania, “I had a dream last night, and in the dream, you came to the US, and I was so happy to see you. You had a golden look around you, and I believe this symbolizes glory. You said to me, do this video, but stand behind the bamboo. You kept saying to me, you must stand behind the bamboo. Bamboos can grow exponentially and unbelievably many feet over night. So to me the dream confirms what God told me that in this year of 5785, a year of double grace, what took you 20 years to accomplish, this year will only take like hours.

In Mark’s gospel it emphasizes immediately that there will be situations that because of your faithfulness God will bring you what you need, and God will bring to you things that need immediate attention. He has put on you and HOPE the ability to pray and solve problems just like Deborah. I also saw a governmental anointing on HOPE to be the ecclesia prayer. Your example will teach people how to walk in greater authority. The fourth thing is that you have an assignment in Jerusalem. I saw Jerusalem not only to pray but to gather the nations together. The fifth thing is that on the young people who are now adults at HOPE I saw the healing anointing we prayed for over them coming forth this year and being utilized more than ever. The sixth thing I saw was that the fasting that you and HOPE did bring a unity. There has been a greater unity in Nazareth and a unity among the Arab people through this. Number seven, I saw HOPE becoming HOPE International. It is now according to God an international ministry, not just locally in Nazareth and Israel, but an international organization.”

In between the videos, the HOPE worship team was leading us in worship, and we were giving thanks to the Lord for everything He has been doing, is doing and will be doing through the ministry of HOPE in the future.

The celebration was concluded with fellowship around a delicious meal and many desserts including a special 20th anniversary cake.

Isaiah 19 Conference in Cyprus 5-9/11/2024

11 staff members of the HOPE Nazareth ministry, including the whole worship team and the mother intercessors from the house of prayer, travelled to Cyprus to be part of the NET conference, led by Tom and Teresa Craig. It was all about establishing relationships and deeper connections along the Isaiah 19 Highway, praying and standing together as one for God’s redemption and reconciliation among the people groups in this region. Our worship team led a couple of sessions during the conference, which took place between the 5th and 9th of November 2024. People had come from Assyria, Israel and Egypt, and we had a deep time of intercession for every part of the region, and for the connections between the different countries. Each leader from these regions shared their heart, struggles, challenges and prayer requests, but also the testimonies of what God has been doing in that region.

Rania shared about the situation in the land of Israel, and how God has been using HOPE to bring reconciliation and healing between Jews and Arabs, connecting hearts together, to stand for the sake of restoration of the land in the midst of such a turbulent and difficult season of war with many people having lost their lives in both Israel and Gaza.

Before the conference, the Lord had laid it on Rania’s heart to bring with her a key from the house of prayer as a powerful testimony, and to give it to the people representing the house of prayer in Beirut, Lebanon. It was a golden key, as you see in the photo. Rania gave it to them as a gift, while prophesying that the Lord is going to open the gateways between the nations of Israel and Lebanon, bring healing and reconciliation, and hopefully also a peace agreement in the future after the removal of Hezbollah’s influence and power in Lebanon, that there will be initiatives of building bridges of peace between both nations. We stood as Arabs and Jews, young people and mothers all together presenting this key as a gift to the Lebanese group, who came from the Beirut House of Prayer, we spoke life and blessed each other. It was a very powerful moment, especially when realizing that the Lord had spoken to them many times through keys, and He now confirmed it to them again also through us.

After the session at the hotel, we went out together for dinner, and while we were walking together with the Lebanese Christians, we suddenly looked up and saw a sign above us saying “The Golden Key,” and it was right there in the middle of the road. It is incredible how the Lord spoke to us even through such simple things, but to us it was a huge confirmation. However, the most amazing part was that after Rania gave them that gift, one of the Lebanese ladies came to her and said, “You know, Rania, I want to give you something, too.” All of a sudden, she was putting a necklace around Rania’s neck, and in the necklace, there was a key, a beautiful golden key, and she said, “The Lord told me to get this key from my house and take it with me to the conference. I did not know whom I would be giving the key to, but when you gave that key to us, I heard the Lord saying, ‘Give this key to Rania.'” So she gave the key to Rania, and that was a confirmation to us that we had exchanged keys together both Lebanon and Israel, declaring that the gates among both nations will be opened with love and peace, and not more enmity. That was a very powerful testimony, and as we entered the conference, we felt the Lord really confirmed things, as we did this prophetic act together.

During the four days of the conference, deeper connections with other people along the Highway were also developed. There were moments of deep intercession, prayer and worship and dancing together, as we were standing together for the sake of God’s redemptive plans for the region.

Middle East War Update January 2025

Since November 27, a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon has been in place, but even though Hezbollah has not totally kept their part of agreement not to fire any rockets, the situation in Northern Israel is much quieter now. The Lebanese Army has been deployed to keep Hezbollah away from the Israeli border, and the IDF has also been allowed to stay in Southern Lebanon for now to make sure that part of the deal is kept.

Shortly after the ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon went into effect, the Syrian rebels grabbed their opportunity to conquer more and more land including Damascus, thus finally overthrowing the Assad regime, forcing former president Bashar al-Assad to flee the country. It is well known that Assad was ruling Syria as a dictator, brutally murdering many of his own people. However, though many Syrians do now feel relief by the Assad regime being overthrown, we must not forget that rebel leader Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa (also known as Abu Muhammad al-Julani), who has taken upon himself the role as Transitional President of Syria, was an Al Queda terror leader in the past. Even though he might seem moderate and diplomatic in his approach to foreign governments right now, this might only be a way of deception. His current organization Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham is likewise supporting jihad and Sharia law, so whether this new Syrian government will bring a better future for the Syrian people, is unsure, and so are its relations to Israel. Therefore, Israel has taken its precautions and deployed IDF soldiers on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights in order to create a buffer zone between the two countries. There are several Druze villages in that area, and some of their leaders did, indeed, appeal to the IDF asking them to please annex their village into Israel, as they would rather be under Israeli rule than under that of the Sunni rebels! Furthermore, the IDF has destroyed many military sites and weapons left behind by Assad’s army in order to avoid them falling in the hands of the rebels and being used against Israel.

In Gaza, the IDF continues fighting bravely against Hamas, but though the terror organization is severely crippled, it still refuses to give up the fight. There are still 98 Israeli hostages being held in Gaza, though it is unclear how many of them are still alive. There are currently new negotiations going on with Hamas in order to get the remaining hostages free and home again, but unfortunately the ceasefire deal that is currently on the table includes releasing thousands of Palestinian terrorists from Israeli prisons, which is of course no good deal for Israel.

Since the beginning of the ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, the most active front fighting against Israel has been the Yemenite Houthis. These last weeks, two ballistic missiles that were sent off by the Houthis fell in the Tel Aviv area, as the Israeli defense system was unable to intercept them. However, a miracle happened that though both of them fell in inhabited areas (one fell on a school and the other in a children’s playground), only material damage was caused! Praise God!

Report from Arab Deborahs Arising Conference 13-14 September 2024

Right from the beginning we knew that this year’s Arab Deborahs Arising Conference would become very special, not only because it had 178 participants, the highest number ever, but also because it was held in the middle of a war, with the security situation in the north continuing to be very serious. The ministry team consisted of 15 locals (Arabs and Messianic Jews) and international Christians, who had chosen to come to Israel for such a time as this to be a blessing and encouragement to the Arab women. Before the beginning of the conference, we had met as a ministry team to pray for a breakthrough in some areas. One of those areas was the problem with navigation in northern Israel, where the GPS apps were often out of function due to the security situation, and we were sensing that the enemy wanted to use this to bring confusion. Amazingly, after we prayed, the navigation apps on our phones started working again, and during the two days of the conference they kept working, meaning that every participant in the conference arrived safely and without any trouble finding their way back and forth. Hallelujah!

On Friday morning, after a time of wonderful Arabic worship led by the HOPE worship team, Rania opened the conference, which this year had the theme, “Come up here” (Rev. 4:1.) When God called the Apostle John to come up, he was calling him to enter the throne room of Heaven. John’s incredible encounter with the Lord is a model of what God wants each of us to experience, when we enter into our personal destiny. In these difficult times, He is calling all of us to come up higher with Him, as we keep our eyes on what is in the heavenly places. Genesis 5:21 mentions Enoch, who was taken up by God. Even though he had a household to take care of, he still had a very close relationship with God. It is important to focus on that intimate place with Jesus. If we want to see greater miracles in our lives, we need to make it a priority ascending higher with the Lord. The path that takes us to His throne is holy. We can use the elevator called “the Blood of the Lamb” to go up. Before the conference, Rania had seen a vision of a ladder with women standing on different steps, all holding hands, and as some were struggling to get up to the next step, they were helping one other to come up higher. As illustration, the stage was decorated with two beautiful, symbolic ladders.

During the first session, we also had the breaking of bread together, after Ps. Andrew had asked for forgiveness from the women for the offense that the leadership or pastors had caused them over the years. This was a deep moment, where many women received healing by releasing forgiveness and blessing.

Pastor Linda Bergling from Arken Church, Sweden, then spoke about making sure to have the oil of the Holy Spirit. God says, “I will come and make my Spirit dwell with you.” Therefore, we should keep the oil fresh every day. If we want to go higher, we need to go deeper in the Holy Spirit. God wants to give us more authority. We need to pour out His love on the nations and be more dependent on Him. He needs to be our first love. When God is calling you to do something that seems impossible, if Jesus is your first love everything is possible. God called Linda to get away with Him for one week and just wait for Him. After five days, she heard His footsteps, and He gave her an open vision. She saw a flood of blood – the blood of war, of rage, of suffering and tears, and the Lord said, “I have opened a bridge of healing to quench the worst hate, a bridge for healing between hearts and nations.” An anointing that will quench the worst hate is an anointing of the Holy Spirit, of the Father’s love. Jesus told the congregation in Ephesus that they had lost their first love (Rev. 2:4.) The first love is a manifestation of God’s heart, a fragrance of Heaven, and the Devil hates that. Pastor Linda once saw Jesus with mud on his face and clothes, and He revealed to her that the mud is the sin of division in His body. The only way to get this mud away is to love Him and each other. When we say yes to God and the thing He wants to do through us, it will melt away the mud from the inside, and we will see His face.

Margaret Abu-Ghazaleh shared how her hunger for the Lord brought her to study the life of Moses. He was intimate with God instead of being too busy with the multitude. When God called Moses by the burning bush, he was struggling with the fear of man, like we do, too. Going up the ladder, you will not stay in one place and not be satisfied anymore. Once Moses was ready to accept His calling from the Lord and do what he was called to do, God took off Moses’ wrong identity and brought him into his right identity. God had already been preparing Moses in the desert and He knew what he needed in order to fulfil his task. In Exodus 28, God is calling Moses to come up to Him on the mountain. There are different levels. Aaron is on one level, while Moses is on a different level. All the elders were anointed, and they saw the God of Israel, but they stayed on a lower level. We should be jealous and want more of God. Our relationship needs to come before our ministry. God gave Moses the 10 commandments on the mountain. Moses used to be angry with the people, but when he descended the mountain, he started interceding for them. He was in a continuous relationship with the Lord, and when God spoke to Moses face to face in the tent of meeting, the glory of the Lord was so strong.

Lilo Keller from Schleife Ministry in Switzerland spoke about the love of Christ, and how He came knocking on her door three times at night with nobody being there when she opened. She described it as a knock of love like in the Song of Solomon. Another time when Lilo was just waiting on the Lord, he came close and gave her a pomegranate, as he asked her, “May I love you?” He wants to have a close relationship with us, to lead us into His perfect love, and put us on like a glove, meaning that we will become like Him in words and deeds. The Lord is our strength and identity. On another occasion Lilo was in a mountain house in the USA, and suddenly she heard church bells ringing. However, when she got outside, there were no bells. She could only hear them while she was inside the house. Her spiritual father afterwards explained to her, “You heard the high priest walking the land proclaiming His Kingdom in the land. You heard in the spiritual realm, but it impacted the natural.” In Exodus 39:24-26, there is a description of the pomegranates and bells that were on the garments of the priests in the temple, and as illustration Lilo had brought a pomegranate and a bell.

On Saturday, Lilo Keller also shared about another encounter she had had with the Lord, where He came to her as a lion. He came very gently and began licking her face. Then He lifted her up by His paw and began running into heavenly places. There, He placed her on a rock, so that she could see the sea (the nations). When he stood above her, He began to roar proclaiming His victory, and she was roaring with Him. It is His strength that comforts us. Lilo went on talking about overcoming fear. If we are captured by thoughts about what will happen in the future, then we are not living in the today. We need to use our faith to see ourselves in Jesus. We are surrounded, but He is in us. If we do everything we do for the Lord, fear can have no hold on us. If we choose to find Him in the midst of the circumstances, we will always find comfort.

The HOPE worship team led most of the Arabic worship during the conference, and the first song, “Alen Howa” (“He is High and Lifted Up”) from their new album was launched through powerful prophetic dance by one of the HOPE team members, Christine Souti. A worship leader from Ramallah named Jackie also led some of the Arabic worship, and Karen Davis led us in Hebrew and English worship on Friday. One of the most powerful moments was when Karen started singing, “Hineh Ma Tov U’ma Na’im” (Psalm 133) in Hebrew, and Arab and Jew joined hands and began dancing around the room in a big circle, united as one in Messiah.

On Saturday morning, we had another very powerful moment when the Messianic Jews who were present were called forth to share their hearts in the middle of the war situation. Many tears were shared, and we broke bread together after releasing forgiveness in the middle of the crisis of the war. The session ended with a release of powerful worship and dance together in Hebrew and Arabic, as the Arab and Jewish women were hugging and sharing their love for each other. We felt a fresh outpouring of the love of God by the Holy Spirit melting away and removing much pain over the land.

After the final evening session with Lilo Keller on Saturday evening, there was a powerful time of ministry, as all the Arab women were lining up to go through the “fire tunnel” receiving prayer and blessings by the ministry team members. All glory to God!

Arab Women’s Gathering at HOPE 06/07/2024

On 06/07/2024, we had around 35 Arab women leaders coming for a special meeting here at HOPE. The women joining us came from different churches around the Galilee. Our time of fellowship was very deep, and it was very important for us to come together. We had not seen each other for a long time, so it was a good reunion bringing unity among the mothers of the land. We could sense the heart of the Father and His love, as we stood together supporting one another in these troubling and challenging times in the midst of a war. Our time of worship was really powerful, and our prayers were focussed on the situation in the land, for our government and leaders, and for the Arabs in Gaza, but we were also praying against the violence within the Arab community in Israel.

Furthermore, I shared a word of encouragement from the Book of Nehemiah and the call to build a wall together and cast a vision that we should continue to stand and build together in unity, because the Lord will fight for us. The main verse I was sharing on was Nehemiah 4:20, where it says, “Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!” (NIV). It was all about sounding the trumpet. I then announced the 40 days of fasting and called the women to join us in this fast, encouraging them to take the initiative “to build a wall” and “straighten the bars of the gates” in their cities and the places they are positioned in, as they walk around the city praying. Finally, we broke bread together, prayed for one another, and encouraged each other in the Lord. We had a wonderful time of fellowship around a very rich and good meal, which one of our staff, one of the mothers, had prepared for us.

Vision for Lebanon 24/06/2024

By Rania Sayegh

I saw a huge angel take a big sword and strike it into the heart of Lebanon. While this was taking place, I saw the ground beginning to shake. Then I saw the winds blowing strongly from the four corners of the land, and as they began to move and swirl like a whirlwind, their movement was carrying dust from the earth, blowing it into the air. I sensed it was the formation of a dust storm. As the winds continued blowing strongly, I saw them breaking the high and lofty cedars of Lebanon.

I sensed the Lord was saying to me that the winds of change and awakening are blowing over Lebanon. The sword of the Lord, His Word is going to come forth and be established. His Word and voice are thundering over Lebanon to bring freedom and deliverance.

I sensed there is a dust storm coming to Lebanon not only in the spiritual sense but natural to bring blindness and confusion in the camps of the enemy.

Open your doors, O Lebanon,
That fire may devour your cedars.
Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen,
Because the mighty trees are ruined.
Wail, O oaks of Bashan,
For the thick forest has come down.
There is the sound of wailing shepherds!
For their glory is in ruins.
There is the sound of roaring lions!
For the pride of the Jordan is in ruins.
Zechariah 11:1-3

For His glory,

Rania Sayegh

Report from Rania’s Ministry Trip to Norway, 22-28/05/2024 and Sweden, 28/05-05/06/2024

Rania’s trip to Sweden and Norway was a wonderful blessing, and the Lord really surprised her in many ways.

The first leg of the journey was in Sweden, where Rania spent the first few days meeting with leaders of a prayer movement there, who shared about what God is doing in Sweden, and how He has been using initiative prayer and prophetic journeys, repentance on behalf of the nation, and special prayer gatherings to bring a real breakthrough in different areas. Rania’s time in Sweden was wonderful and effective. After meeting with the leaders, Rania went on to visit her family, and seeing her nephews, her brother and his wife again was also refreshing. It was a beautiful family reunion.

Afterwards, Rania travelled on to Norway, where she was invited to be part of the Stord Conference, a strategic and timely gathering, which took place on the Island of Stord in the western part of the country. This gathering was part of a series of different prayer initiatives, ship cruises and prophetic acts organized all over the country because of the thousand years of Norway’s independence as a nation. The Body of Christ and the prayer movement had started all these different initiatives to cover the nation in prayer and restore the heritage and stand on the values of the constitution and the heritage of Norway being founded as a Christian nation.

The Stord Conference, which Rania was part of, was a wonderful gathering, and the Holy Spirit and God’s presence was tangible there. There were around 170-200 participants in the meetings. During the three days of the conference, God was moving and releasing prophecy, declaring the restoration of Norway back to its Christian roots. For Rania it was a blessing to be able to speak there twice. During a long one-hour session, Rania spoke about heritage, and she also shared a vision she had seen during the conference and released it over the nation, and the Lord was really touching people. (To look at the vision, click here.)

It was a powerful time of sharing this vision. While Rania was emphasizing the difference between heritage and inheritance, how God works with the inheritance, and how we can secure it, she was speaking about God’s destiny for Norway. Beside this, Rania also shared about the situation in Israel and the prophetic assignment during Purim, where they were standing together, Jew and Arab, repenting and decreeing a decree, breaking the covenant of death and replacing it with a covenant of life together as one family in the Land of Israel. Rania spoke about the importance and the power of reestablishing the covenant, and the upcoming trip to Poland, where the Jewish and Arab family would be endeavouring together on a journey of prayer reestablishing the covenant during Shavuot, the time when the Book of Ruth is traditionally opened. After Rania spoke about these things, everyone united in prayer for Israel and for Gaza, praying for both the Arab and the Jew and the salvation of God’s people both in Israel and in Gaza.

During the Stord Conference, Rania also shared a prophetic word for Norway, which God gave her for the thousand years of independence. God first gave this word to Rania in February during the national prayer conference in Grimerud, where He told her that His timing for Norway is now in the thousand years.

God spoke to Rania, as she was sitting in the room praying, while snow was coming down outside. The Lord spoke to her about how the snow comes down to clean and purify the land. He also spoke from Isaiah 55:10-11, where it says that like the snow coming down, the Word of the Lord is going forth from His mouth, and it will not return to Him void, but succeed and prosper and fulfil all God’s purposes. God spoke to Rania about the snow and then whispered in her ear about the thousand years. He then took her to Zechariah 3, where it speaks about Joshua the priest, and says, “‘If you will walk in My ways, And if you will keep My command…” (verse 7), “And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day” (verse 9). As Rania was pondering on that during the conference in February, the Lord then spoke to her and said that He would remove the iniquities of the nation in a day. Then she went back to 2 Peter 3:8, where it says, “with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Then it really clicked in Rania’s heart. It says in Zechariah 3 that “I will inscribe on the stone that I will remove the iniquity of a nation in a day.” So, this was a thousand years in a day, the thousand years of anniversary for the nation of Norway. That was a promise that God had given that He would remove the iniquity of a nation in a day, “if you walk in my ways and keep my commands.” This was a very important word that resonated with many of the leaders’ hearts.

Incredibly enough, one of the prophetic leaders in Norway named Howard Sand had initiated a project of a stone, which he had made a replica of. The stone is located in Moster Island, half an hour from Stord, where the conference was, and it was the actual stone, where King Olav, the first king of Norway, said, as he bowed on it, “We will bow toward the east, and we will bow for Christ. The king will be a friend of God. The king will be a friend of the people.” That was his declaration a thousand years ago, when he bowed on that rock. This stone they believed was the foundation of the values of Norway, and it was here the Christian nation of Norway was born. It says in Isaiah 28 that they wanted to establish this, like I will put a chief cornerstone in Zion. It is, indeed, not about the stone, but about the values and the cornerstone, Jesus. The establishment of the values of the heritage of the Christian nation of Norway, how it was founded, and the covenant of this king.

As part of the project, Norwegian believers want to make a replica of this stone in order to take it all over Norway and place it everywhere to decree that the nation is returning to its foundations, to reestablish and stand on the values of the nation again. It was truly a renewal of a covenant. Rania did not know about this project, but God spoke to her about the verse in Zechariah 3, where it says, “I will inscribe on a stone that I will remove the iniquity of the nation in a day.” It was stunning and shocking for Rania to hear this from the Lord, but the people were really encouraged, because it speaks very much about what they were doing. Ultimately, they ended up inscribing and engraving all over the replica of the stone the same words from Zechariah 3:9, “I will inscribe on a stone that I will remove the iniquity of the nation in a day.” It was a very powerful time, with lots of confirmation from different people telling Rania how much this had touched their hearts and confirmed in their spirit that God will, indeed, visit Norway, and in a day, there will be revival and mass salvation within the nation!

After finishing the Stord conference, they all went together to Moster and prayed in a very old church, near where the stone is, and during their time of prayer and breaking of bread, there was a renewal of covenant with all the participants in the conference. They also bowed towards the east on the stone, and renewed the covenant with the nation of Norway together with the remnant of the Norwegian family that was present. Afterwards, they went up to the cross on the mountain, where they also prayed and broke bread, declaring that the nation of Norway belongs to Jesus, “No king but Jesus over Norway!” It was a very powerful time.

Rania then had two days in Bergen, where she had been invited by a friend to speak in Credo Church. Around 100-120 people were gathered, and it was a wonderful evening of prayer and intercession. Rania shared about what is taking place in Israel right now during the war. She also shared her vision from the Lord and released the prophetic word God had given her for Norway, like she did at the Stord Conference.

Finally, Rania went back to Sweden for another six days, where she, together with a group of Messianic-Jewish leaders, had been invited to be part of a retreat with Pastor Linda Bergling in Shohamra. It was a wonderful time of refreshment, prayer and intercession, and deepening relationship with the Swedish family and the Messianic-Jewish leaders who were present. Sunday morning, Rania and all the rest of the leaders who were at the retreat, participated in a church service at Arken Church, where Rania was asked to speak for 15 minutes. She gave a word about God’s heart for unity between the Jewish and Arab family and walking together. She gave a short report about the war, emphasizing how we should keep our hearts and love for one another that we may not break covenant during this hard time with Israel being nine months in war with Hamas, how we should pray for both Arab and Jew as one heart in love and covenant, like Ruth and Naomi did. They made a covenant together to stand together in love for one another, and from that Obed was born, and with him a whole generation of worshippers was born. It was wonderful to have time to reflect on all what God is doing, and to pray and fellowship. It was indeed a very refreshing time for Rania right before her trip to Poland, which was a very strategic trip with six from the team at HOPE and another five from the Messianic-Jewish family, who went together.

Urgent Call For Prayer And Fasting!

We are sending out this urgent letter, as we want to ask you to please stand with us in prayer and fasting from the 13th till the 19th of May against an event called “The Magic Conference,” which is scheduled to take place from the 16th to the 18th of May, the days around Pentecost, in southern Israel (see below.) Many witches and wizards will be coming to Israel these days in order to participate in this occult conference. This is really dangerous, as it will be opening a doorway of evil again here in the land, so we need to cover the land in prayer. Let us pray that the Lord will stop them, that the event will be prevented from taking place in the south, and that they will be coming to bring healing instead of a curse upon the land.
