Eagle with Keys 16-3-22

On the first day of Purim, as we finished the 44 days of fasting for Iran and Israel, it was strategic that we received a beautiful painting from Norway. The painting is of an eagle releasing keys.

And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Isaiah 22:22
On this 44th day of fasting (2 x 22), God was saying to us that He is releasing the keys and increasing the authority of the Ecclesia to rule and reign with me and partner in shaping history over the nations. It is time for us to soar in the Spirit with the strength, sharp eyes and sight of eagles. The timing that the Lord orchestrated for delivery of this painting was amazing!

2021 Year in Review

“Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham… And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him.”
Genesis 26:1&12

2021 was another difficult year for people all over the world with the continued travel and work restrictions. Yet looking back, we can see that God blessed HOPE Nazareth with increased gatherings, prophecies and worship sessions. Then, towards the end of the year, He multiplied His blessings more than we could ever have imagined by guiding Rania to the new premises for HOPE.

As we look back on 2021, join us in giving thanks for all the blessings that God has poured out on us. The review below is in the form of a mini book in which you can turn the pages and click to see each video and article featured.

Vision for Canada – By Rania Sayegh – 17-2-2022

While I was praying and interceding for Canada and the situation there, the Lord began to take me into a vision.I saw the streets of Canada and also the highways. On the streets, I saw a creature moving, swirling and spitting water out of its mouth. The creature looked like a serpent with 7 heads. People in the streets were fighting for their freedom with great courage but at the same time this creature was trying to release water to bring chaos to the land and get the people to be in a state of chaos in their souls with fear and anxiety. The Holy Spirit, impressed on my spirit that this creature is a leviathan spirit that is attacking the land!

The battle for men’s souls and the destiny of the nation is real. As I continued to intercede and pray for God’s deliverance and intervention, I saw the Lord as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah appearing on the scene. He moved through the streets and roared over the whole nation – every province, city and neighborhood. When He roared, I saw the people being filled with such courage that they began to join hands together and stand in prayer creating a wall that looked like a big, huge crown. The crown had 7 points, these points were regions where God’s family (army) was gathering and praying and standing together. When they stood together and gathered in prayer, I saw the river of life beginning to rise higher and higher – much higher than the river that the spirit of leviathan was releasing.

As the river rose to a higher level through the united prayers of the family, I saw a big scroll opened and the scriptures of Revelation 22:2 became alive at this moment of the history of the nation!

“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
Revelation 22:2

As I continued to pray into this, the Holy Spirit began to highlight regions of gatherings and cities where it will be strategic to unlock this river:  Saskatchewan, Toronto, Vancouver, London, Cornerstone, Edmonton, and Newfoundland. As the gatherings were taking place, I saw the Lord being crowned as King of Canada and a big, huge rainbow appeared on the horizon from the west coast to the east coast of the nation.

“So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”
Isaiah 59:19

The Lord was highlighting to me that it’s crucial for Canada to stand firm and gather in the spirit of 2 Chronicles 7:14 to combat the leviathan spirit on Tuesday 22/2!
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14

Time Sensitive Esther Call to Prayer and Fasting for Iran and Israel

A strategic Esther call to 44 days of prayer and fasting for the rising threat from Iran towards Israel & the nations!  

In November last year, the Lord began to speak to me during a time of prayer at HOPE in which we were watching over Iran and the growing crisis  between Iran, Israel and the nations.

On the 8th of November as I was praying for Iran, I received a vision in which I saw a huge plumbline descending over Iran’s land. As the plumbline touched the land, an earthquake struck. So I began to pray and declare that the Lord will shake everything that can be shaken, specially the evil systems in the Iranian government, so that the unshakable can remain and His kingdom will advance in mighty ways.

A few days after this prayer watch, I saw in the news that there was a powerful earthquake that hit Iran with a magnitude of 6.4 on the Richter scale in southern Hormozgan province.
(https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/467037/Powerful-6-4-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-southern-Iran)

When I saw the news and that the earthquake had a magnitude of 6.4, instantly the Holy Spirit spoke to me from Isaiah 64:1-4:

Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains would tremble before you!
As when fire sets twigs ablaze
and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake before you! 
For when you did awesome things that we did not expect,
you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.
Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.

 

God was giving us a sign that He had heard our decrees and was shaking the internal structure of Iran, He will pass judgment on the evil that is taking place in the oppressive regime of the Islamic republic of Iran!
 
As we continued to watch the nation of Iran during the month of December 2021, God spoke to me through a lecture by a well-known Jewish historian named Dr. Mordechai Kidar entitled, “Will Iran’s regime collapse in 2022?” I was so drawn to this lecture that I listened to the whole 41 minutes. He explained how the anthropology of Iran is made up of so many people groups which means that the majority  are not Persian. These groups do not support the current Iranian regime. They have been waiting for a window of opportunity to start another revolution from inside the nation, turning the regime upside down again and bringing down the Islamic government. The expected timing of this possible revolution is during the week leading up to the celebration of the Iranian new year, “Noroz”. The reason for this timing is that the Wednesday preceding the Iranian year is called “Char Chambi Sori” in Farsi which means “the Wednesday of fire.”
 
On the evening of “the Wednesday of fire” everyone comes out onto the streets and lights fires. The day is known for chaos! Therefore these groups would most likely choose such a day to make an organized effort to come out onto the streets in an attempt to oppose the government. This year, “the Wednesday of Fire” falls on March the 16th. 
 
When I heard the date of “the Wednesday of Fire,” I felt instantly that the Holy Spirit was impressing on my heart to check the date that Purim falls in 2022! To my amazement, the date was also the 16th of March! 
 
When I saw this, I knew the Holy Spirit was speaking to me clearly that He is setting up something for this coming Purim, to bring judgment on the Haman spirit that has been working in Iran, and for a possible revolution that could be ignited inside the nation to bring down princes and principalities. 
 
As I continued to pray into this, I asked the Holy Spirit what He would want His watchmen to do at this time. I heard the number 44 in my spirit and realized it was connected with 22×2 from this year, 2022. I felt the Lord leading me to launch an urgent call to prayer and fasting for 44 days. This will begin on 2/2/2022, which will lead up to Purim on March 16th, which itself falls on “the Wednesday of fire” in Iran this year! 
 
After searching more on the numbers I received, 44 days of fasting and prayer, I looked to see how many years Iran’s Islamic republic has been in power. The date of the establishment of the government after the revolution was February 11th, 1979. That means on February 11th 2022, Iran’s Islamic government will have lasted 43 years and be entering into its 44th year! 
 
I knew that the Lord was speaking to me, that we are to ask Him to rend the heaven and come down over Iran and shake the regime and give courage and faith to the people of Iran to rise up and stand against this evil structure that has been threatening all the Middle East and especially the existence of Israel. 
 
After receiving this revelation from the Lord, I asked Him what He wanted us to do. He showed me that He wants the intercessors to unite globally and begin to roar His decrees over Iran and speak deliverance to her people. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah is about to roar from Zion and bring vengeance over the Haman spirit that is moving in the land. Enough is enough, Aslan is on the move! 
 
This is the decree to be released on Purim 16/3/2022! 
 
The Lord will roar from Zion
and thunder from Jerusalem;
the earth and the heavens will tremble.
But the Lord will be a refuge for his people,
a stronghold for the people of Israel. 
Joel 3:16

I believe we are called to another Esther moment in history to rise as Esthers all over the world and release our verdicts and decrees over the land of Iran for deliverance from the Haman spirit. Will you join the table of the Lord that He has set before our enemies, even as Esther created a banquet and invited the King together with her enemy “Haman?” There the battle was won! Let’s create a table before our enemies and partake of the table of the Lord, the bread and wine, and unite together for a corporate release from Zion and from the nations of the roar of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah!  

We encourage you to join us daily during these 44 days and partake of the table of the Lord with bread and wine!

At the banquet of wine the king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!” 
Esther 5:6
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?
Esther 4:14
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
Behold, I will break the bow of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their life.
I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
I will set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.
‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord..”
Jeremiah 49:32-39

21 Day Daniel Fast 1st to 21st December

As we draw towards the end of 2021, we invite you to join us in a 21 day Daniel fast to draw closer to God and prepare for 2022. In the first chapter of Daniel, Daniel and his three friends refrain from eating the rich foods served by the king of Babylon, choosing instead to eat only fruit and vegetables. We invite those who are able to do so to fast from some of the richer things of this life and press into God during these three weeks.

Prophetic Vision and Confirmations for HOPE’s New Building

At the end of last year, Rania began to search for real estate agents that she could partner with to find the best new premises for HOPE. Our present location has been blessed by God but has become too small for many of our activities. God connected Rania with a former classmate from 30 years ago. This led to the initial property purchase opportunity which we wrote about in January. Many of you, our friends and family, gave generously towards this vision. The funds given have been set aside for this purpose as soon as God opens the door for us to buy a property.

In the meantime, over the summer, God stirred Rania’s heart to search for a larger property again. Another former classmate showed her a property for rent which was about to be vacated. It consisted of a meeting room with a separate coffee area and office space, exactly fitting HOPE’s requirements. As Rania visited the property and shared the vision with close friends and HOPE’s Board Members, God began to remind her of long forgotten words and promises.

Yahweh says:
“When the time of showing you favor has come,
I will answer your heart’s cry.
I will help you in the day of salvation,
for I have fixed my eyes on you.
I have made you a covenant people to restore the land
and to resettle families on forgotten inheritances…
Lift up your head and look all around you.
See! All your children, your builders, gather to come back to you.
As surely as I live, I make this promise,” says Yahweh.
“You will wear them all like jewels,
as a radiant bride wears her beautiful jewelry!..
You thought you had lost the children,
but you will hear them say,
‘This place is too cramped for me.
Make more room for me to live in.’”

Isaiah 49:8, 18, 20 TPT
