24 Hours of Worship on 25th-26th September

We covered prayer for the land and also focused on the US elections. We also prayed for Israel’s government, for the corona challenges,  for social and economic challenges, and for churches and leaders. We read and declared Psalms from 80-150 throughout the 11 watches covering the 24 hours.

Prophetic Art for Pentecost 2020

 

During the Perfume for the Nations Worship leading up to Pentecost, Ahlam Sakhnini, one of the artists in the house of prayer, received a prophetic picture which she painted . Her picture was of Jesus pouring oil to fill the lamps of the 5 virgins who were preparing for his return (see video below).

Perfume of the Nations Worship

For the ten days leading up to Pentecost, Watchmen for the Nations invited teams from around the world to join together in a continuous worship event called “Perfume of the Nations“. Arab and Jewish worship teams participated in this event and HOPE Nazareth was privileged to lead three of these worship watches which were broadcast to the nations via Zoom.

Three youth worship teams came to release the perfume from Nazareth, a team from Turan, one from Cana and one from Nazareth. Ahlam Sakhnini, one of the artists in the house of prayer, received a prophetic picture which she painted during these sessions. Her picture was of Jesus pouring oil to fill the lamps of the 5 virgins who were preparing for his return. You can find out more about Ahlam’s prophetic painting here.

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.
