HOPE Renovations

As Israel began to open up after the first wave of the COVID 19 virus, we felt that it was time to initiate the renovation project for the prayer house. Several rooms needed painting and repairs to fix small areas of damp. We painted the main prayer room, the kitchen, toilets, the balcony and one bedroom. This important project had been planned since the beginning of the year.

We are now waiting on the availability of the workers to continue to finish the remaining three rooms together with the outside wall at the entrance to the prayer house. In August, we hope to move onto the next project of painting the guesthouse in preparation for Israel reopening its borders.

Thank you to each one of you who gave already to enable these timely renovations.

Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim

Continuing the journey to the seven mountains of Israel, six Jewish and Arab women traveled to Mount Kabir in the region of Elon Moreh. Mount Kabir is 745m above sea level and to the north-east of Shechem. This mountain is surrounded by Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim, the mountains from which the tribes of Israel were instructed to pronounce blessings and curses in Deuteronomy 27. This was a continuation of the journey that had begun in 2019, following God’s prophetic word to Rania (7 Mountains Vision).

Mount Kabir has a view overlooking the river of Tirzah. Tirzah was one of the five daughters of Zelophehad who received an inheritance in Israel (Numbers 27). We prayed over Shechem and the entire region, asking God to release blessings from Mount Gerizim. We asked God for the harvest in this area and for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit – our visit was a few days before Pentecost.

We took communion together and declared that the Lord would remove any curse of bloodshed over the land and replace it with a blessing from both Jew and Arab. That morning, I, Rania had been awakened at 4:44 am. I understood that the Lord was asking me to declare the return of his glory from the northern gate:

“Then the man brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple. I looked and saw the glory of the Lord filling the temple of the Lord, and I fell facedown.”

Ezekiel 44:4

We also declared:

“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground;

I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams.”

Isaiah 43:3-4

The Blood of Yeshua Speaks a Better Word – Passover 2020

During Passover week, 36 Jewish and Arab women who are mothers in the land of Israel gathered online to confess our nation’s sin and cry out to God for mercy. Like Deborah, Israel’s leader in the book of Judges, these women were leaders of ministries and pastor’s wives. Women who have spiritual authority. The meeting was organized jointly by HOPE Nazareth and Dugit Ministries lead by Avi & Chaya Mezrachi, its timing prompted by the current worldwide situation with COVID-19.

 

Prayer Journey to Mount Hermon

On March 15th, seven women – three Arabs, three Jews and an English Gentile –  came together for a prayer journey to Mount Hermon in the North of Israel. Our purpose was to continue the journey to the seven mountains of Israel that had begun in 2019, following God’s prophetic word to Rania (7 Mountains Vision). The 5th and highest mountain, Mount Hermon was yet to be accomplished.
During this time of the global coronavirus (COVID-19), we felt it was important to visit the highest mountain in Israel. The name corona comes from the Latin for the word crown, thus we were led to go to the highest place in Israel and crown Jesus as King over the land of Israel and all the nations of the earth.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing— life forevermore.

Psalm 133

First we came together and broke bread. The Lord had told me to blow a shofar and to arrive before 2.22pm. So we prepared our hearts to reach the top of Mount Hermon about half an hour beforehand and then blew the shofar at 2.22pm. See video below.

[Since the beginning of the year, God had been speaking to me about the numbers 222. For example, Revelation 22:2 where the river of life flows. God had told me to blow the shofar and declare over the highest mountain that the Lord will release His dew and the waters of life to clean and heal our land.]

We also took with us the prophetic elements of water, oil, salt, bread and wine.

We stood and prayed and interceded. With the shofar blowing, we declared: 

“Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is He, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty—He is the King of glory.”

Psalm 24:9-10,

We repented for divisions in the church, unforgiveness and racism. As Arabs, Jews and Gentiles together, we began to ask the Lord to heal the land. We repented for lukewarmness in the church and declared our love for the land, pledging allegiance to the Lord. We repented for the evil alliances between governments which had allowed a plague to come. We prayed for a deeper unity and that the Lord would shake the evil thrones as He is now doing and instead establish His kingdom which will rule over these governments. We prayed for righteous alliances between nations, that God’s throne will be established in these governments and founded on righteousness, truth and justice.

“I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed.”

 Daniel 7:13 &14

In a prophetic act, we took the crown and crowned the LORD over the highest mountain and declared Daniel 7: 9-13 & 21-28. As we held up the crown, the clouds parted in the sky above us and the sun shone.

We prayed for the healing of the land, for a release of the river of healing over governments and over the coronavirus. God had spoken to me beforehand to bring a specific bottle of oil that had been given to me in 2019. So I took this oil which is in a glass bottle shaped like a crown that had been a gift from a Jewish sister and was made according to the recipe in Exodus 30. Then, to my amazement, one of the Jewish sisters there with me explained the meaning of the name of the giver of the oil – her name is Tal Aharoni. Aharoni comes from the name Aaron, from the priestly tribe and Tal means dew (Psalm 133).

We poured the oil and the wine on the ground and sprinkled the salt as preservation and a reminder of God’s covenant. We built an altar to the Lord.

Women’s Online Prayer 23rd March 2020

We set a time on Zoom to gather together with the Arab mothers of the land who carry authority and influence for the Galilee region and Jerusalem. Rania felt led from 2 Samuel 24 to gather them to build an altar so that God will hear from heaven and stop the plague of coronavirus in Israel.

We began with an act of repentance before the Lord for the bloodshed of the innocent through abortion. Rania had been struck when she heard a woman from England share how God had spoken to her through the statistics that she found while searching for the possible percentage of deaths that COVID 19 could cause relative to the population of England. She found a prediction of 8 million people who could die from this plague. She cried out to God in intercession and asked how the enemy could have such a legal right for so many people? To her astonishment, God told her to check how many abortions had taken place in the UK – 8 million babies! That finding was so shocking to her that it brought her to her knees to cry out for mercy and that God would spare the nation of England from the consequences of this sin and from the blood crying out from the ground.

This story moved Rania’s heart and gave her a burden to call the women together to take our position as mothers in the land and stand in the gap and repent for the bloodshed of the innocent babies in Israel among the Arab community. Therefore we gathered to repent together corporately as 19 women came together, sharing hearts, repenting and building an altar to the Lord. Each woman brought 12 stones from her region to carry out this prophetic act.

Priscilla joined us on this call and shared deep thoughts and revelations from the Lord and her personal journey on the matter of abortion in the US and the power of the communion table shared by the body of Christ all around America for declaring the power of the blood of Jesus which is more powerful and speaks louder than the blood of Abel. We felt that the Lord shifted something in the atmosphere of our land on that day. We are so grateful to the Lord for the opportunity to partner with His heart as women of the land and to be used humbly by God to shift the course of history over our nation.

Women’s Retreat 26th – 29th February in Magdala

Rania was invited by a her friends, Marianna Goll and Orna Grinman to be part of this women’s retreat for international women from different nations, including Jewish and Arab women. The retreat was a time of seeking God’s face as a company of women, hearing from Him and waiting upon Him, and a time of fellowship and building relationships.

Youth Training Day in Shefamer 22nd February

47 young people came together from different cities and villages across the Galilee and Jerusalem. Two different worship teams led powerful times of worship. Rania gave an introduction on the importance of clear sight for this year and how God is preparing the younger generation to operate in the prophetic anointing. She also shared about the importance of God’s dealings in our lives to purify us, and how God is highlighting eyesight in 2020. She spoke about the strategic timing of the training day 22-2-2020 which God had shown her to be a day of breakthrough and preparation for the younger generation to move into a higher level of authority in which they are destined to carry the keys of David (Isaiah 22:22).

Rick and Patricia Ridings led the second session, sharing about the importance of the seer gift and how to operate in it, giving different examples of visions and dreams resulting in powerful declarations over nations and shifting these nations. Their teaching was uplifting and faith building.

Priscilla shared about her personal journey, how God had begun to open her eyes as a young woman and developed this gift in her life. She shared how each one of us can hear from God in very simple ways. She spoke from experience about the struggles that she had to go through as God used these things to mold and sharpen the seer gifting in her life. God had used the power of the blood of Jesus and communion in her past and will use it in this season to overthrow the enemy’s plans against God’s people and the body of Christ in the nations. We ended this day with worship then gathered around the communion table – where the glory of God was very thick in the room (there had been a powerful presence of the Lord at this same point during the women’s day too).

We are so grateful to the Lord for these two powerful days of deep revelation and teachings, fellowship, food, prayer, worship and communion.

Arab Women’s Training Day in Shefamer 21st February

Rick and Patricia Ridings and Priscilla Zananiri came to be with us for these two training days. 88 women came to Shefamer Church (80 Arab women from many different regions in Israel and 8 internationals). Rania opened the first session with teaching on the theme of Revelation 3:18 about how to sharpen our spiritual eyesight. She shared why it is important in this season to have clear sight and how the Lord deals with His people and prophets to purify them as gold. She used the examples of Job and the testing that he went through, as well as Daniel who came through different hard tests in his life but was then trusted by God for the most strategic end-time prophecies.

In the second session, Priscilla shared about her personal journey in which God had delivered her family when the spirit of death came and tried to take out some of her family members. She shared how God had prepared her beforehand through communion and understanding more deeply the power of the blood which was ultimately the reason her family was spared last Passover. It was a powerful testimony of resurrection power.

Rick and Patricia led the third session and shared about eyesight and throne room/ governmental intercession which is praying from the third heaven. God had led them into this through a series of dreams and visions. God used the seer anointing and the declarations that resulted from it to shift nations.

We ended the day with a special time around the Lord’s table. Priscilla led us, Rania and Rick helped facilitate.

During the women’s meeting, three different worship teams led in powerful Arabic worship.

Arab Deborah’s Arising Women’s Breakfast Praise Report | January 8th

Thank you for praying for the Arab Deborah’s Arising Women’s Breakfast with Yvette el Bayadi in January. Yvette is a dynamic Egyptian speaker whose television ministry reaches all over the Arab world. The women’s breakfast was a powerful time of worship and sharing.

Yvette shared about the story of Deborah and how God is working in Syria and Iraq. The stories were so moving and even difficult to hear; this brought us a stronger burden to continue to pray and watch over the Isaiah 19 highway.

Year Recap 2019

The year 2019 has been a very fruitful year with great progress in the Arab and Jewish Deborahs Arising Movements, prophetic prayer journeys to the mountains of Israel and other strategic locations as well as ministry trips to Norway, Sweden, Hong Kong, Canada and the USA. HOPE Nazareth hosted many visitors from the nations, including local and international ministries. 

Please take a moment to give thanks with me for God’s grace as you read through our recap of the year 2019 below!

We are excited about all that God has in store for us in the year 2020; we are expecting further expansion of the sphere of influence that the Lord is entrusting to HOPE locally and internationally. Thank you for your continuous prayer and financial support that allow us to carry the vision of working with the Arab and Jewish women of the land, as well as with the younger generation. 

We are continuing to look for a new building for HOPE. We are believing for bigger space to accommodate more people in the new center where we want to have space enough for a training hall, prayer room, coffee shop and healing rooms.  Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us financially for this strategic year 2020 to see His dream coming to pass? Please see the section below with information on how to partner with HOPE. 

We are so grateful to God for the work that He is carrying out in Nazareth and the nations! 

For His glory,

Rania
