We invite you to watch this Global Watch video in which Rania shared her prophetic words about the US, and the Octopus Strategy. She joined several speakers sharing about the three weeks of mourning and prayer and fasting for Israel and the Middle East.
“In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”
Isaiah 19:23-24
35 people came to this teaching day on the Isaiah 19 Highway. Tom Craig began with an overview about how God established His covenant with Abraham, which continued through the descendants of David until Jesus. He emphasised the power of covenant and the God who keeps covenant.
Isaiah 19 is about the reunion of the sons of Abraham from Sarah, Hagar and Keturah. We took the time to explore the whole chapter. Tom explained the judgments that will take place in Egypt on the gods of Egypt. God will shake Egypt in order to make Himself known as the only Most High God. God will release his Spirit over Egypt and there will be an altar and a pillar inside Egypt for God’s glory.
We had a wonderful lunch and fellowship. There was a powerful time of worship taking us deeper into the presence of the Lord. We started at 9:30 and finished at 4:45 with a time of prayer and declaring the five decrees that start with “On that day…” in Isaiah 19. Some of the young people took turns to join in these prayers and declarations. There was a lot of openness in the hearts of the young people and they were hungry to learn more about this important and timely subject.

“So may all your enemies perish, O LORD! But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might.” And the land had rest for forty years.
Song of Deborah, Judges 5:31
A small group of Arab and Jewish women went together to pray and stand together in the area of Bethlehem. Shavuot is the time of the barley harvest which is the time in which the book of Ruth unfolds.
Nine women gathered for lunch, prayer and the breaking of bread. Together they declared that the voice of the better blood of Jesus speak louder. They prayed for peace and love among both peoples.
This netting of hearts in unity of love will release everything that is on God’s heart for the region!
On the 20th May, 32 Jewish Messianic and Arab Christian women leaders came together in HOPE Nazareth for a time of fellowship, prayer and worship.Karen Davis led the first worship session declaring that fire will blaze through us and consume every stronghold. An army of women is being raised up in the land.
Rania welcomed everyone and asked how we can work with the Holy Spirit to heal the land? We believe that God will use the unity between Arab and Jewish women like a secret weapon. Many years ago, God spoke to Rania saying, “When the women rise up in the land, there will be security in the land.” Just as when Deborah arose in the book of Judges, there was security in the land (Judges 5:7).
In this year of 2022, God is giving us keys according to Isaiah 22:22. In each sister’s heart there is a key. The bigger the heart the bigger the key. God wants to release and unlock blessings on the earth. We are the keepers of the doors. It is our responsibility. We need to look at our circumstances and ask God what He is doing. Our last fight will be that against the spirit of accusation.
Lou Engle came up to Rania during the Jerusalem Global Communion and told her a dream that his friend had dreamt:
“There were people coming together in the Spirit but the prevailing spirit there was one of division and accusation. Each one had a certificate – a BA.
In another section, some believers were coming together to break bread. They also had certificates but on theirs was BB.
BA = brother accuser
BB = better blood
The heavens opened over those who took the BA and a dark spirit descended. The heavens also opened over those who took the BB and light and fire came from heaven. These believers refused to fellowship with the accusers.”
Chaya Mizrahi shared: about 25 years ago, Jack Hayford came to Israel to give two teaching sessions to the Messianic Body. After the last one, he left the stage but then stopped and came back and said, “You don’t love one another.”
The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:7-8
Let your love be constant. We are addressed as “loved ones”. No-one wants suffering but Peter tells us to rejoice and be glad (1 Peter 4:12). Like Brother Yun, like Richard and Sabrina Wurmbrant, like Corrie Ten Boom who said “there is no panic in heaven.” God is speaking to us, “Love one another.”
Orna Grinman also spoke from the Book of Ruth: when Ruth tells Naomi, “Don’t entreat me to leave you!” The Hebrew word for “entreat” means to wound. She is saying that Naomi would wound her by insisting that she leaves. This same Hebrew root is found in the word for intercession.
Everytime that I get wounded, I look for “hooks” – who can I blame? Our tendency is to focus on the wound but in God’s Kingdom, we can look at the wound and then turn it into intercession. When I get hurt, I ask myself, can I see God above, beneath or in this wound?
David Demien came back to HOPE Nazareth for two meetings in April. On Thursday 20th, about 35 young people from across the Galilee came together a powerful time of worship and fellowship. Declarations were made over the young people for them to have a fresh baptism of love for the Lord. David Demien shared a beautiful message about the revelation of being transformed as we behold Him. As we look into His face, it is as though we look into a mirror and are transformed from glory to glory. This was such a precious time of receiving revelation from the heart of God that as we behold Him we receive more revelation of His heart and that revelation draws us still closer to Him.
On the 21st April, we had another powerful time of worship and sharing hearts with pastors and leaders from the region. Many of the leaders shared what they were seeing and sensing about these times and the need for unity. There was a powerful moment when we held hands together, standing as an army. The power of God fell as we declared that we would cover one another’s backs and not allow any accusation to come among the brethren. Then we broke bread and declared the power of the blood of Jesus.
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;
they did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death. Revelation 12:11
Through this day and the unity that we shared together, God was breaking the power of the accuser of the brethren.
This is a vision that I had while taking part in the Global Communion at Christchurch, Jerusalem. Jews, Arabs and internationals had come together for this event during Passover 2022.
During worship, as we were exalting the Lord, I saw a vision of a door opened in heaven and the cloud of witnesses appeared from this open portal in the spirit. Then I noticed two angels appeared on either side of this door, one was on the right and the other on the left, each had a cup in his hand that looked like a bowl. I saw that the cups/bowls began to overflow with a substance, the first cup was overflowing with blood and the second with water. All of a sudden the angels took the two cups and began to pour them out over the land of Jerusalem in particular. Then, as the two ingredients mingled together, I noticed that they became golden oil that was being poured out onto the land, and then a fountain began to flow from the ground of Jerusalem that was flowing with oil. The oil began to flow through the streets of Jerusalem, and went on throughout the land of Israel and to the nations!heard also in my spirit the verse from Zechariah 13:1-2:
“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. “On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more,” declares the Lord Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.”
Also, another verse that was highlighted was 1 John 5:6-12:
“This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the[ Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
On Sunday 27th March, Rania went to pray over the northern borders of Israel with a few sisters. They prayed for God’s protection over the land in response to a vision in which they had seen tent pegs being driven into the ground over the northern borders of Israel. They took with them prophetic elements – bread, wine, salt, oil and a tent peg, asking for confirming signs from God. The exact time that they stepped out of the car was 2:22 and they noticed a horse in the street nearby where they had parked. They prayed Isaiah 22:22, Daniel 2:21-22, Joel 2:21-22 and wrote those verses on the tent peg before striking it into the ground.
The very moment that they began to pray for the northern borders, another horse appeared and started to neigh like the sound of war. After praying, they went to check where the horse came from. It was in an enclosure and had climbed a steep hill to see Rania and her group, looking directly at them (you can see the steep bank it climbed in the photo below). The Lord was confirming that He was with them and releasing the angelic hosts with chariots to be stationed at the borders. They prayed and declared that there will be a highway between Assyria and Egypt passing through that area (Isaiah 19:23) and that reconciliation and healing will take place.
About 65 Jewish Messianic sisters gathered in Nazareth for the annual Bat Tsion Women’s Conference. Rania and several Arab Deborahs joined them. Rania spoke from Isaiah 62:3, “You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God.”The theme of the conference was crowns. Rania brought a diadem with her (see the photo above where Karen Davis is wearing this crown). The conference included prophetic acts placing crowns and diadems on each other’s heads as we crowned one another as God’s beautiful daughters with His glory and splendour.
Rania spoke about being crowned with glory and the beauty that the bride carries before the Lord. She explained the difference between crowns and diadems: a crown is a reward of victory or a mark of honor, while a diadem is an ornamental headband worn as a badge of royalty.
Rania also spoke about walking in our royal identity before the Lord. When we walk in our true identity, we will see the blessings of God, we co-reign and rule with Christ, and are destined to carry His glory.
“All glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold. In many-colored robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions following behind her.”
Psalm 45:13 & 14
Rania prayed with and ministered to several of the women and saw some creative miracles. Please see some of the highlights of the conference in the photos above and below.
Please join us in prayer and fasting until 21st April for Israel and for an end to the terror attacks that have taken place recently in busy locations across the land. On 22nd March, 4 people were killed in a shooting outside a mall in Beer Sheva, on 27th March, 2 people were killed in a shooting in Hadera, on 29th March, 5 people were killed in Bnei Barak (including the first policeman on the scene, an Arab Christian from Nof HaGalil – see below), on 7th April, 3 people were killed in a busy street in Tel Aviv. Our hearts are broken for the loss of so many precious lives over the past few weeks.
“In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.” Psalm 37:10-11
A Hero from Nof HaGalil.
HOPE’s new premises is in Nof HaGalil, a residential area just outside of Nazareth where Arabs and Jews live together. Amir Khoury (30), a Christian Arab was the first policeman on the scene in Bnei Brak on 29th March. He killed the terrorist but also lost his own life. Bnei Brak is an Ultra Orthodox (Haredi) town near Tel Aviv. Thousands of Israelis (religious and secular, Jews and Arabs) came to Amir’s funeral.
