Arab Deborah’s Arising Women’s Conference Praise Report | 6th -7th September 2019

The most recent Arab Deborahs Arising Women’s Conference was a powerful gathering at the Legacy Hotel in Nazareth. We had 70 Arab women and 4 Jewish women in attendance for this conference. We also had a wonderful international team of 10 people that came alongside us to support and minister to the women of this land in prayer. Some of the international team were from HeartSync ministries.

The vision for this conference was to teach the HeartSync model through training and equipping women in leadership in the Arab Church. Our prayer is that they will use this tool to carry healing to their churches and their communities. We provided each woman with a HeartSync booklet that was translated into Arabic. These booklets are a helpful tool for each of the women to take the HeartSync model to their church communities.

The opening session of the conference began with Rania sharing about the kairos timing of the gathering and the importance of the location for this women’s conference. Just a few meters away from the Legacy Hotel is the Synagogue Church where Jesus declared Isaiah 61, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me…” We believe that God opened for us a scroll at this moment in time as we gathered in Nazareth and that He was releasing to us new revelations of His promise coming to fulfillment. There was a fresh, new power and anointing from the Holy Spirit. Together we stood and declared from Luke 4 that today, “it has been fulfilled upon our hearing.”

It was a great privilege to have Father Andrew, the founder, and director of HeartSync, teach us about healing the broken-hearted through the HeartSync method. During these two days of teaching, we also had powerful times of worship with Ruth Fazal and several Arab worship leaders from different churches. Both days Jesura Adrenaly blessed us all by playing out two chapters from the Bible. The first day she recited aloud Isaiah 61 from memory and acted it out as a drama. She included several women from the audience in this drama that left a deep impact on people’s hearts, many were moved to tears. On the second day, Jesura continued to surprise us by acting out Psalm 18 as a drama, while reading it out loud from heart. The declaration of this Psalm was very powerful, and we felt this Psalm was an opening of a new prophetic season and the closing of the old in our lives.

At the end of each day, we had time for ministering to the women. The first day, we presented a gift of a necklace to each woman that had been donated to us by our Chinese family. There were two kinds of necklaces. One said, “Set me as a seal upon your heart.” And the other said, “Then sings my soul.” As they received the necklace, they also received a time of prayer and ministry. The exciting testimonies of hearts being healed from this day were very encouraging. We have seen eight healing miracles that took place, and six of them were creative miracles such as legs growing!

The second day, we felt the Lord was leading us to end the conference by commissioning each woman and having them go through a fire tunnel. Linda Wyatt, one of our good friends, came with a scarf that she had dipped it in a pool in the U.S. where many were healed and baptized in fire. She felt to bring this scarf with her as a symbolic act of impartation for the Arab women of the land. She also brought some oil from the Bible that is supernaturally flowing with oil in the state of Georgia. Our Jewish sisters also brought us a gift of a bottle of oil shaped like a crown from Jerusalem.

When we had the women pass through the fire tunnel for a time of impartation, the power of God was so tangible underneath the scarf that is was really like an open heaven. Several women were greatly touched by the Lord and others delivered, healed and set free. It was truly like Isaiah 61, “to give the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of heaviness.” This was a glorious ending to this conference. Many women stayed until the end and some stayed even longer just to receive an experience of the heart of the Father and to be commissioned as they leave.

Journeys in the Nations: Norway & Hong Kong

I always enjoy sharing with you about the adventures that God allows me to go on with Him in the nations. In May, I traveled to Norway to visit and build relationships with our Norwegian family in Oslo & Bergen. In Bergen, I spoke in the house of prayer called Bergen on Fire. I also had several meetings with leaders to build more relationships. After Bergen, I flew to Stavanger to speak in a spirit-filled Lutheran church. Two meetings were set up for me there, each meeting had an attendance of 200 people. I also felt so privileged to preach on Sunday morning in front of the Lutheran church in Norway. I spoke about the power of travailing prayer. In the evening meeting, I shared about the place of Israel in the great commission. Norway has been like another home where God has had me minister many times in the past 5 years.

 

At the end of July, I traveled to Hong Kong to be a part of the Global Gathering with Watchmen for the Nations and to support our Chinese family in the strategic timing in the history of the Chinese church. The theme of this gathering was from the oneness Jesus prayed for in John 17. There were around 7,000-8,000 people who attended the gatherings. Before that we were in a smaller gathering with leaders from around the world, to pray and seek the Lord’s heart for what He is wanted to do in the main gathering. I was invited to speak in a home church before the gatherings began. It was a wonderful time of fellowship, sharing with a group of 20 people, where we saw God move in the meeting with creative healing miracles. I experienced ten healing miracles that night! All the glory and the honor to Jesus!

Before leaving for Hong Kong, the Lord showed me a vision of the lion roaring over Hong Kong on a high mountain. To my surprise, through research, I found out that there was a real mountain in Hong Kong by the name of Lion Rock. After sharing the vision with some of our Chinese friends, we felt to pray about going up this mountain, so we could have our boots on the ground and pray. When I arrived, one of my good Chinese friends felt to climb with me on Lion Rock. It was quite a challenging journey, as Hong Kong is very hot and humid. Graciously the Lord sent us splashes of rain to cool us so we were able to make it. We reached a point on Lion Rock where there was a view that overlooked the whole city of Hong Kong. We had a very powerful time of declaration and prayer with my Chinese friend and her husband. We felt it was an assignment for a kairos time in Hong Kong. During this time the protests in the streets of Hong Kong were still happening and continuing to escalate. We knew that the Lord had sent us to unite with His heart and proclaim heaven on earth as well as the releasing of the angelic hosts to fight the battle for Hong Kong’s destiny in this season. After the prayer assignment on the mountain was ended we began the gatherings. During the gathering, we saw the Lord demonstrating through the Holy Spirit the roar of the lion of the tribe of Judah. As you’ll see in the photo below, there were even signs in the heavens to confirm what has been released on earth.

I also had the privilege of sharing for a few minutes in the main gathering to thousands of Chinese a prophetic word and a vision where I saw a big teardrop coming from heaven becoming like a river of life flowing down over China and from there to the nations proclaiming Revelation 22:1-2.

Towards the end of my trip to Hong Kong, I experienced twenty-one healing miracles, and at least fifteen of them were creative miracles. I am so grateful for all the Lord has done and to all of you who are standing with us and support us to be able to go to the nations. Due to the length of this newsletter, I will send a separate newsletter to share prophetic visions and experiences I had while in Hong Kong.

June 2019 Events

During the Pentecost season, we had two events with our good friends, Ray & Renaid Almgren from Pittsburgh. A training day for young people took place on the subject of the Holy Spirit and intercession. We also had a women’s breakfast where we invited women leaders and pastors’ wives who were invited to the Legacy Hotel. During the breakfast, we had a time of worship, sharing of hearts, and teaching on prophetic intercession focusing on prayer triggers by Ray & Renaid. We had around 23 women that are in leadership who attended. It was a great time of worship and fellowship around food. We believe the gathering of women every couple of months deeply unites us.

 

Deborah’s Clan | Women’s Gathering | April 11-12

“Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, arose a mother in Israel.”

Judges 5:7

The vision for Deborah’s Clan is a dream that has been in my heart for many years.  I desire to see Jewish and Arab spiritual mothers come together in unity to form a strong core that will cause a breakthrough in our nation. I have been waiting for the Lord’s timing to develop this gathering of women.

From April 11-12, we will have our first Deborah’s Clan gathering of spiritual mothers. We felt the Lord leading us to extend an invitation to 37 Jewish spiritual mothers and 32 Arab spiritual mothers.  My friend Chaya Mizrachi, one of the key spiritual Jewish mothers in the nation, is partnering with me in leading this event. When I shared the vision for Deborah’s Clan, she felt a witness in her heart to partner with us. HOPE is inviting the Arab spiritual mothers, and Dugit (directed by Avi & Chaya Mizrachi) are inviting the Jewish spiritual mothers.

We feel this will be a strategic gathering of spiritual mothers, both Jew and Arab, to arise and take their position in the land to birth His purposes. Ultimately, we believe this will lead to the regathering of the children back to the Father.

Deborah’s Clan is going to be a special time of connecting, getting to know one another, praying and worshiping together, and following the leading of the Lord for what He wants us to birth in this season.  In addition to the spiritual mothers from the land, we will have a core team of spiritual mothers from the nations who will join us as midwives to help us push through what God is birthing among us.

National Prayer Conference in Grimerud, Norway

It has been a privilege to go back and forth between Norway and Israel for the past 5 years. I was recently invited back to speak for the National Prayer Conference in Grimerud, Norway. There were around 500 people who attended this prayer conference. I was asked if I would share a word I gave to the nation in 2014 as a fulfillment of what God has done.

In Dec 2014, I saw a vision of a balance before me and the right side of the balance was full of burning coals. The left side of the balance had fewer coals that were hardly burning and underneath this side, it was written, “Norway.” Since the right side was full it was heavier than the left side that was lower.

Then I saw a hand begin to take the burning coals from the right side and move them to the left side of the balance where “Norway” was. This continued until both sides were balanced. I believe this was the condition of the altar of prayer in Norway as well as the moral condition of the nation.

On October 22, 2018, the Lord gave me another vision while sitting up on a high place in Norway. As I was overlooking the view of the mountain tops, I saw a palm tree growing on top of mountain peaks in Norway and a menorah blooming on top of this palm tree.

After this vision, the Lord spoke to me from Zechariah 4 about the menorah and the olive trees on each side of it. There are two main oracles in this chapter that I felt the Lord was giving me as a message for Norway. The first oracle was that God’s power would prevail over all the obstacles in rebuilding and maintaining the temple according to His purpose.

“This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, you shall become a plain and he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

Zechariah 4:6-7

The message of the second oracle, found in verses 8 to 10, was that Zerubbabel would finish the temple. When he finished the temple, it would make clear what God had spoken through Zechariah.

“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands shall also finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.”

Zechariah 4:9

Before leaving for Norway, the Lord told me to buy a menorah made of REAL silver and gold to present to the nation with the declaration of these two oracles. To my amazement, the Lord was orchestrating a reconciliation between Ireland and Norway and used the menorah I brought from Israel.

In AD 793, during the Viking Age, Vikings attacked an island Monastery in Northern England. This was the start of many attacks on some of the most central Celtic monasteries throughout England. These attacks caused the end of the Celtic prayer and missions movement; which never recovered.

At the prayer conference, there was an Irish man who had been walking the streets of Norway asking God to heal the wound between Ireland and Norway. He has also been praying for the prayer movement in Ireland to be restored. When he came for the prayer conference, he was given a place to stay with a Norwegian family. Last year they had communion together, but this year they found out some more details about the Viking attacks. After attacking the Irish Celtic Monasteries, the Vikings had stolen gold and silver from them. They later traded them with Israel. The Norwegians had been praying that God would restore to Ireland the gold and silver that had been traded in Israel.

What they did not know was how to get silver and gold from Israel, and they never communicated with me about it. These revelations had only been realized two days before the conference began. When the Norwegian prayer leaders heard about what the Lord had spoken to me, they decided to humbly present the Menorah to the Irish people and ask for forgiveness.

– Rania

The last morning of the conference, before the reconciliation took place, the Lord reminded me of when I was in Bangor, Ireland during Pentecost 2016. There was a gathering in the Valley of Angels where a menorah was presented with a coal from Wales that the fire would not go out in Ireland. They declared that the oil would continue to flow into the menorah of the remnant of believers in Ireland.

There was a lot of rejoicing in how the Lord orchestrated the healing of these two nations. I was amazed at watching the Lord’s sovereign hand, and I was thankful to see Him healing these nations. I also recently learned that there is going to be an upcoming gathering in Bangor in the Valley of Angels this coming Pentecost. There will be 24/7 worship and prayer between the Norwegians and Irish leaders!

February 2019 Women’s & Youth Conference

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and eat with him, and he with me.”

Revelation 3:20

We feel the Lord wants to heal His body this year. He wants to pour out His oil on His people, the oil of the balm of Gilead. The Lord is pouring a new wine and He is looking for a cluster of grapes. Isaiah 65:8a says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster.” He is forming a new cluster, a new oneness, and unity among His people. Often times, healing will proceed a move of unity in the body. We are responding by doing two events, one for the women and one for the youth because we believe healing and deeper forgiveness is essential for the Body of Christ.

Our good friend Orna Grinman, a Jewish mother in the land, will be speaking and doing the training for us. She is the founder of the ministry Ot Oo’Mofet (Sign & a Wonder). On February 15th we will have an all-day women’s gathering, and we are expecting up to 80-90 to come. The next day, we will have the youth gathering and are expecting 80-90 youth to come as well.

These gatherings will be about forgiveness with the theme, “Who is Knocking at Your Door? How to deal with painful emotions & thoughts so they won’t rule your life.” Rania & Orna will be sharing during these gathering. We have invited all the Arab churches to join for both gatherings.

 

December 2018 Love Revolution

During our recent 40-day fast to reignite our love for Jesus, Rania was praying in the House of Prayer and God reminded her of a dream in her heart. The dream was about a love revolution, where Jews and Arabs give roses, instead of hatred, war, bullets or guns, as a symbol of their love for each other. What would happen if all the land began to move and people went out to every city in Israel to do this act of kindness and love?

On December 13th, nine women, both Jewish and Arab, decided that God wanted to use women in this season to birth this Love Revolution. They were used by God as His secret weapon to unlock the hearts of the people by giving these roses as an act of love. All together, they distributed 300 roses in two parts of Jerusalem, near Jaffa Gate in the Old City and the Salah e-Din neighborhood – a neighborhood populated mostly by Arabs. As they went out, they went in groups of two, one Jewish woman and one Arab woman.The team of women that came together, worked together in great unity and harmony. There was so much joy as we went out in the streets together. All who received roses from us received them with such joy! We even caused a traffic jam in Salah e-Din because people were stopping to take a rose.

 

 

Love Revolution Testimonies

 

We had a special encounter with a young boy, named Mohammed, who was about 7 years old. Rania was parking her car in the Salah e-Din neighborhood. As Rania was getting ready to give out the roses, Mohammed approached her and said, “Auntie, can I please have one rose?” Rania said, “Of course! You can have one for sure.” And then he asked for another one, and Rania gave him another one and asked why he wanted a second rose. He responded, “One for me, and one for my mom.” Then he turned around like he was going to leave, but Rania stopped him so she could explain why she was handing out roses. As they talked and Rania shared the Love Revolution vision, they also shared that the love of Jesus Christ is the reason they want to do that. This piqued his interest, and he wanted to know more about Jesus and where He lives. Rania explained that He lives in heaven and that He loves him so much. He was very intrigued that Jesus lives in heaven because he thought no one lives in heaven. And he said, “Is he alive?” Rania explained how Jesus died and resurrected because He is God, and God never dies. By this time, our friend Eman had parked her car and came over to us. She asked Mohammed, “What do you need from Jesus today?” Mohammed explained, with a sad face, “We need everything because we have nothing in our home. I don’t even have money to take the bus back to my mom.” Everyone’s hearts were melting and we were all crying. We gave him some money for the bus, and we laid our hands on him and began praying for him. As we finished the prayer, he told us that he had pain in his feet and he leaned back against the car because of how much pain he was in. Rania began to lead Mohammed in a prayer for healing, which he repeated, and Rania declared over him, “Now you can walk.” As he began to walk and tap his feet on the ground, he looked at Rania with eyes full of shock and told everyone that he had no more pain in his feet. He was so excited! Rania told him that when he gets home to explain to his mom what happened that day. She said to explain, “That he met a woman named Rania who gave him 2 roses, and that Jesus Christ can provide every single need in their home. That they can pray to Him and he will answer your prayers. Just as he did just at this moment, Jesus answered your prayer for money for the bus, 2 roses because He loves you, and He healed your feet. And you can ask Jesus to come and visit you in the night and show you Himself.”

Also during our time in Salah e-Din, we encountered a woman who looked like a woman of authority. One of the Jewish ladies with us, Noa, asked her in English if she can give her a rose. Noa continued to explain what we were doing in English. The woman asked her if she was a Jew? Noa responded yes. The woman said, “Then why don’t you speak to me in Hebrew? I have been waiting for so long for a Jewish person to tell me that they love me in Hebrew!” Noa, of course, began speaking Hebrew to her and told her that she loves her. The two women were so excited to have met each other.

A call to 40 Days Prayer and Fasting – November 2018

 

We would like to invite you to join us for 40 days of prayer and fasting from November 11th until December 21st.  The focus of this fast is on Jesus being more than enough.  We desire to experience an awakening of our love for Jesus as we ask Him to come and pour out fresh oil in our lamps.  We want to stay bright and burning with His love and fire!  During the fast, we will be doing a 21-day brain detox by Dr. Caroline Leaf where we will learn how to break down toxic thoughts and much more.

Many of the young people in our community have responded to this call, as well as both Arab and Jewish women from the congregations around Israel. We believe this will be a powerful time to shake off any tiredness and to be reignited with a burning passion to partner with the Lord in prayer & worship.  We will push through until there is a breakthrough in our hearts and land!

We would also appreciate your prayers for us here at HOPE as we have gone through many changes in recent days.  We have especially had a lot of changes in our staff and would appreciate you covering all those who serve at HOPE in prayer.

We are excited to partner with you all during this time of fasting and prayer!

September 7-8, 2018 Women’s Conference

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be
preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 

1 Thessalonians 5:23

We had a wonderful and powerful time during our women’s conference in September. There were deeper bonds that formed as women from different regions of the nation came together. We were blessed to have 90 women join us, all who are leaders in the Body of Christ here. We focused this conference on an alignment of our spirit, soul, and body. The conference took place at the Legacy Hotel in Nazareth.

Our ministry team consisted of 14 local and international women. We had four speakers: Lilo Keller, Briskilla Zananiri, Elin Fagerbake, and Rania Sayegh. We had three worship leaders: Ruth Fazal, Jesra Andrenaly, and Ikhlas Sadran.

The speakers did a great job bringing into focus the different subjects about alignment. Rania spoke about the importance of alignment and understanding the spirit, soul, and body. Lilo spoke about life in the Spirit, how to renew our mind and the test of love. Elin spoke about our identity as daughters of God. Lastly, Briskilla spoke about sharpening our senses.

During the conference, we did a prophetic act following a vision Rania had during the two days of prayer and preparation before the conference. She saw a vision of women’s heads budding with roses, and it formed the shape of a crown on their heads. We decided to purchase 100 crowns of roses, and we crowned each woman during the conference. As we did this we declared that God is transforming and renewing her mind, that He is crowning her with steadfast love and mercy (Psalm 103:4).

 

Here are some words that one of the women shared from her experience at the conference:

In this conference, God has moved greatly deep inside my heart. I thought that I had released and forgiven all the people in my life who had hurt me. During the sessions, God kept uncovering a lot of pain that was buried and covered in my heart. As I sat and shared with someone from the ministry team what God was doing in me, I felt the pain begin to diminish as the forgiveness of God grew within me. I began to explode with deep deliverance in my heart! My spirit and soul were set completely free, and I was filled with joy. I was filled with the Holy Spirit. After this release, God began transforming how I view myself and showed me how He sees me.
