Declaration Prayer: Declaration of the Month of Av

Editor’s note: Tammuz – the 5th month of the Jewish biblical calendar, the eleventh month of the civil year 5785, corresponding to July 26, 2025 to August 24, 2025 in the Gregorian calendar.

Declare in the name of Jesus :

1. The Lord will roar from Zion, from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth will shake. The Lord will be our refuge and security. ( Joel 3:16)
2. We are more than conquerors. We will rise and shine, and the shout of victory is rising in our hearts. ( Rom. 8:37, Dan 12:3)
3. We make a covenant with God, and we will often declare and follow God’s words to release the witness of victory.
4. We will be alert and of a sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
5. This is the month when we are ready to enter the promised land. We will not be discouraged. God will always recover and give us another chance.
6. This is the month of labor pains. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. ( 2 Cor. 4:17)
7. God is destroying old obstacles and the foundations of mistakes and rebuilding our lives.
8. This is the month when the earth begins to ache. The mystery of conception will begin to enter the earth, and God is beginning to prepare to give birth to new things.
9. We are the warriors of the Lord. We choose to shine in praise and worship, and the mode of sin will be greatly eradicated.
10. God will birth new connections to help us move forward.
11. We obey the leading of the Holy Spirit, and meditate on the words and revelations that God has given us. God’s wisdom and discernment are increasing in us day by day.

Declaration Prayer: Watchmen Decree

Editor’s Note: This article is excerpted from the prayer post of “Give Him 15 ” on 2022/7/6 by prayer leader Dutch Sheets.

【DECREES】

Father, we know that as Holy Spirit was hovering over the waters at creation, Jesus was declaring life-giving words (Genesis 1:3-25; John 1:1-3). As His Ekklesia, His representatives, we now declare and decree His Words over our water supply, waterways, and dams:

• We decree that the powerful and majestic voice of the Lord thunders upon America’s waters, blessing them with peace (Psalm 29:3-4,11).

• We declare peace and security within our nation’s walls; violence will no more be heard in our land, devastation or destruction within our borders; our walls are salvation and our gates praise (Psalm 122:7; Isaiah 60:18).

• We declare that God is a wall of fire around our nation, and His glory is in our midst. He is our hiding place; we are protected from trouble because He surrounds us with songs of deliverance, and His angels encamp around
• The Lord keeps us from harm by day and by night, watching over our coming and going from now and forever (Zechariah 2:5; Psalm 32:7; Psalm

121:5-8).

• We decree, by faith in God and His Word, that every dam, waterway, and water supply in [insert name of your state] and all of America is protected and shielded from evil. No evil plot planned or devised against them will succeed; every snare is broken. We will not fear, and terror will not come near us (Isaiah 54:14 AMP; Isaiah 54:17; Psalm 21:11; Psalm 124:7).

• We decree Proverbs 21:22 (TPT) over America: “A warrior filled with wisdom ascends into the high place and releases regional breakthrough, bringing down the strongholds of the mighty.” Therefore, we decree the tearing down of every hidden stronghold of the enemy over America’s dams, waterways, and water supply and release breakthroughs in every region.

• We declare Isaiah 58:11 over America, that she is a well-watered garden, whose waters do not fail.

• Read and declare Psalm 91.

Pray for America: “Communion America” – Help Us Write History in Washington, D.C.

Editor’s Note: This article is reprinted from Dutch Sheets’ August 8th  posting of “Give Him 15 Minutes.”

【 Current Events/Background: Exodus 23:14-17:  “Three times a year, you shall celebrate a feast to Me. You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt.  …Detailed Reading】

【 Prayer 】

Father, we know You relate to people, not just as individuals, but as groups of people. Family units are blessed and cursed, as are cities and entire nations. Also nations, just like individuals, possess divine purposes and destinies. We know You raised America up to propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. And though we have rejected You and turned from this calling, in Your mercy, You are restoring us. We declare that we will experience a great harvest and also be used to reap an incredible harvest in other nations.

Without a doubt, You have led David Bradshaw and Awaken the Dawn to host this worship and Communion gathering on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Now, we ask You to breathe Your life, favor, and blessing into it. Give it wind. Move upon the hearts of tens of thousands of people to attend, and millions more to participate online. We ask that You would use this event to take Your rightful place in our nation. As we partake of the bread and wine that week, arise and scatter Your enemies. Give us great breakthrough in the heavens, shattering strongholds and lifting the veil of darkness off millions of people. Let the power released as we gather merge with the power released from millions of prayers and other significant events in our nation over the past 30+ years. Amalgamate and synchronize these into one huge explosive release of Your power. We ask for all the funds needed to accomplish this event.

We decree that another great Communion Revival has begun and will come to fullness in America.

In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.

We need the present order that is in place exposed and brought down. The Awakening is here to expose and bring Communism down. Communism-which was brought in by the 1963 creed and accepted by our Congress-45 goals.
3. Pray for Awakening – religious. Pray for the “spirit to remove God” which lays like a blanket upon our nation to be removed. It lives to bring America down.

Pray for America: 24 Prayers for 24/7 Prayer Against Terror Attacks in America

Editor’s Note: As prophet Chris Reeds mentioned in the message “As is Israel, so is the United States ,” many sleeper cells of terrorist organizations have infiltrated into the United States and established many camps. Like this terrorist attack coming from Israel’s southern border, they are also plotting attacks in the United States through people passing through our southern border.

After President Trump ordered the U.S. Air Force to bomb three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 21, the Iranian government vowed to retaliate. We need to pray, watch, listen, watch, and like the children of Issachar, know the times and seasons. The following prayers are from the 24 prayers in “Elijah’s List”，which was reposted from the prophet Charlie Shamp’s facebook. We encourage all intercessors to pray for the United States under the leadership of Holy Spirit.

Background: Israel & Nations

【Prayer Points 】

• Praise: “Therefore, know this day and lay it on your heart: The Lord is God, in heaven above and on earth below. There is no other” (Deuteronomy 4:39).  Heavenly Father, we praise You for Your absolute sovereignty. In You we can find rest and peace. Hallelujah, You reign forever and ever!
• For the government and society :
  • Thank the Lord for giving BIBI humility, wisdom, courage and faith, anointing him, and using him to accomplish His will.
  • Use Israel’s current ruling coalition to unite them into one and transform them into the sons and daughters of Zion.
  • The ruling coalition unanimously agreed to dismiss Gali Baharav-Miara, Israel’s Attorney General, who was appointed by the previous government for his opposition to Bibi. Pray that God intervene in Israel’s judicial system and remove the interference of unjust judges in policy.
  • The videos Hamas released of several hostages shot like sharp arrows into the hearts of Israeli society. We pray that God will intervene and deal with Hamas’s atrocities, and comfort the people of Israel.
• Gaza:
  • Thank God that Israel’s Security Council approved Netanyahu’s plan to conquer and occupy all of Gaza:
    • Completely eliminate Hamas;
    • Rescue all hostages;
    • Gaza is demilitarized under full Israeli security control.
  • Continue to harden Hamas’s heart and reject any agreement that does not result in a complete victory for Israel.
  • To unite the Israeli government and give them wisdom and strategy to reclaim the God-given territory of Gaza.
  • Ask God to pour out His peace upon Israel and bring great disaster upon all Hamas terrorists, releasing His wrath.
  • Renew the strength, courage and motivation of the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza.
  • Protect and rescue the remaining hostages, and stop being human shields for Hamas. ( Isaiah 49:24-25 )

  • To transform the curses against Israel from countries around the world and mainstream media into blessings, with special protection and anointing for Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danon, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, and Ambassador to the United States, Dr. Yechiel Leiter.
  • Many Western nations are threatening to recognize a Palestinian state on your land. Anoint Christians of all nations to repent and pray for their own nations and to rise up to bless Israel. Declare the words of Isaiah 7:7 : ” This plan will not stand, nor come to pass.”
• Internal Security:

  • Defeat all plans to establish a “Palestinian State” on God’s land.

  • Pray that God will completely destroy Iran’s current extremist regime and establish God’s throne in Iran ( Jeremiah 49:38 ).
  • To protect the Body of Christ in the Middle East; to help them grow numerically and spiritually; and through them, to destroy the strongholds of Islam in the Middle East.

  • Raise up more Gentile believers to pray for the salvation of the Jews and arouse the jealousy of the Jews.
  • Strengthen, multiply and utilize the Messianic Body of Israel.

The following prayer list is reprinted from Concern for Israel: 

• Pray for Israel Visa and Travel :
  • The Netanyahu government invited Christians to travel to Israel.
  • Israel’s Ministry of Tourism CEO, Izhakoff, met with Pastor Paula White, spiritual adviser to US President Trump, in Jerusalem to discuss encouraging evangelical Christians to travel to Israel. He said that it is particularly important to visit Israel now, and that Israel is open and safe and welcomes evangelical tourists.
  • Pastor White urged young American Christians to visit Israel, emphasizing the quality of the tourism experience it offers, including delicious food, a safe environment, and friendly people.
  • BIBI has approved the return visas for Christians. Pray that God will lead a large number of Christians to return and revive Israel. Pray for visas for believers, and that visas and citizenship be granted to believers without delay.
• Regarding Gaza Aid:
  • Stop international news from spreading lies about Israel. Pray that the Lord will expose these lies and false narratives and protect Israel with miracles.

  • Netanyahu proposes a Gaza annexation plan backed by the Trump administration. Hamas will receive a ceasefire ultimatum.
  • President Trump urged Hamas to release the hostages, and Hamas once again refused to do so. This is their demise.
• Pray for those who have experienced trauma in war, especially soldiers:
  • Pray for those experiencing trauma, loss, and confusion during this time of war. May God grant life and hope to those in the IDF, especially those battling suicidal thoughts. Many have taken their own lives in recent weeks. Pray for comfort, restoration, and healing, and may they run to Jesus.
  • Pray that the Lord will plant seeds of truth and reveal His love in the hearts of children, teenagers, and young adults.
  • Anointed the Ministers of Finance and Defense to increase construction in Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley, extending sovereignty to the entire territory west of the Jordan River
  • May Israel’s economy flourish.
• Aliyah/Salvation/Messiah Believers :
  • To speed up the process of attracting Jews back to their homeland and to prepare a smooth path for them to return.
  • Pour out the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, and use dreams, visions and testimonies to help people know the Messiah Jesus.
  • Christians who teach “love Israel” stir up jealousy among Jews.
  • Pray for repentance and revival to burst forth from within the Body of Israel’s Messiah.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Critical Event: Dividing Israel, Defying God: The World’s Dangerous Path Toward Judgment

Editor’s note: This article is from a post on Prophetic Network Watch on August 2nd .

【Prayer Reference】​

• Protect Israel and Jerusalem: “I will gather all the peoples and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there I will execute judgment on them…they…have divided up my land for themselves.” (Joel 3:2) Lord, protect Israel’s land and holy city from being divided.

• Awaken the Church and Prepare for the End Times: “Therefore, keep watch, for you do not know on what day your Lord will come.” (Matthew 24:42) Lord, awaken the Church to uphold the truth and reject false peace. We watch for Israel and prepare for Your return.
• Have mercy on all nations and execute righteous judgment: “I will bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you.” (Genesis 12:3) Lord, have mercy on all nations and give leaders a heart that fears you. Your righteousness will be revealed, and bless the nations that support Israel.
• Release the voice of the Kingdom Council: Lord, the fate of nations is not determined by the United Nations, but by Your throne. We pray as the voice of Heaven, declaring that Your will is done, and that judgment and blessing will come upon the nations.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Critical Event: Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Agreement – The Curse is Lifted and the Time has Come for All Nations to Leave the Ark

【Background:  On the 8th of this month, President Trump invited the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to a White House summit. The two sides signed a peace agreement, ending their decades-long conflict. …Detailed Reading】

• Genesis 8:4   On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on Mount Ararat.
• Genesis 8:14-22    On the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was dry. Then God said to Noah, “Go out of the ark, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you. Bring out all living creatures with you—birds, livestock, and all creeping things that creep on the earth—that they may multiply on the earth and increase greatly.” So Noah went out, along with his wife, his sons, and his sons’ wives with him. Also, all beasts of the field, creeping things, and birds—everything that moves on the earth, according to their kinds—went out of the ark. Noah built an altar to the Lord and took every clean animal and bird and offered a burnt offering on the altar. When the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, he said in his heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, nor will I destroy it again, as I have done. As long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”

【Prayer】

• Peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan is stable:  Heavenly Father, may You protect the two sides and enable them to truly enter into reconciliation, eliminate the cycle of historical hatred and revenge, and allow this peace agreement to bring lasting stability and peace to the people.
• Armenia enters God’s destiny in the final days:  Heavenly Father, please strengthen Armenia’s foundation of faith as the first Christian nation, making it a witness to the Gentile Church in the final days and an outlet for the gospel, healing historical wounds and entering into spiritual revival.
• We declare:
  • Armenia will be raised up as an apostolic missionary state religion, preparing the way for the King of Glory.
  • God’s kings and priests will be in place, and all peoples will be united as one “family.” Now is the time for this united “family” to leave the ark.
  • A new race and a new season have arrived.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

• Bring unity and influence among Ethnic Groups: Heavenly Father, let this grand parade become a window to release truth and hope to the world, so that all nations can see how God connects all nations and peoples in His glorious plan in the last days. “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!” May every participant, whether indigenous, Jewish or non-Jewish, find connection and mission with each other in your love.
• Pray for Safety, Organization, and Breakthrough Numbers: Heavenly Father, please protect the safety and order of all activities on that day, as well as the health and safety of every participant; let the number of participants this year exceed that of previous years, becoming a historic gathering, so that the world can see the enthusiastic response of God’s people to justice, peace, and truth.

In the name of Christ Jesus, Amen!

Editorial Special Section: Chuck Pierce: A Sound to Divide and Multiply

Message: Chuck Pierce  Date: August 2, 2025 Source : Elijah List

Editor’s Note: This is a prophetic message released by Chuck Pierce and his team, including Keevy Phillips, Derek Murray, Theresa De La Rosa, and Venner Alston, on July 27, 2025.

Go Into Your Promise This Av!

“You hear the footsteps of the giants, and you’ve seen the grapes in seasons past. Fear has gripped My people, but… this Av you must come through the narrow place! It took two to carry the grapes. As two carried the grapes, imagine what you can do when I put My Spirit on the wealth of the wicked that’s been laid up for you. Give up a shout and go into your promise!

Marching Orders

“I am giving you marching orders. Listen to the cadence of My battle cry, for it is coming out of Heaven into the earth realm, and it’s time for My people to go to war. All the possessions that you’ve been waiting for are before you; take the land.

“As you hear the sound of the battle cry, there is a fresh anointing coming down from the beard of Aaron (Psalm 133). I’m going to unite My Bride, for as you hear the sound, you must go forth with the spirit of unity and gather the harvest that is before you.

“So, stretch out your faith in a new way; look beyond what you’ve seen. Stop looking within and look without, for the harvest is great and it’s plentiful. Take the land!

Praise Is Your Weapon

“This is the season that I am going to cause your praise to be the weapon that breaks you through occult structures, and what you’ve not been able to see, you will see.

“Yes, there is a harvest, and there is a provision, but there have been occult structures that have covered what belongs to you. But I am breaking that veil even now. If you praise and worship and press, what belongs to you that’s been covered by occult structures, your praise will pierce that, and you will reap your harvest! (Photo via StockCake)

Hear the Sound of the Wind

“I have a sound in the wind that’s coming. I have a sound that will show you your next strategy of victory. If you will begin to acknowledge My wind that I’m blowing, I will cause you to hear the sound of your steps ahead. This is a time [where] My people must step, and step in My Spirit, for many snares lie in wait. But I decree My people will rise above those snares and walk above the fires and the floods, and they will be on the other side.

“So, hear the sound of the wind that I bring to you this week. It will come as a gentle sound at the beginning, but then it will get more and more and more fierce, because it is important that you hear Me this week.

A Sound to Divide and Multiply

“To the armies of the earth, hear My sound now! For this is a time of dividing asunder the atmosphere of the earth. And if you hear that sound, I will divide asunder, and you will see the spoils I have for your victory on the other side. In the next thirty days, cry out, mix your faith, for victory will be yours!

“In the next thirty days, as you hear the sound of division, it is the sound to divide to cause My people to multiply. Holy Spirit is going to rain on My people and cause them to multiply in a way they’ve never multiplied.

“Separate yourselves these thirty days and watch your gifts go into a place of multiplication of the exponential power you’ve never seen in the earth realm.”

Editorial Special Section: Veronika West: From Weaklings in Battle to Mighty Warriors Trained for War

Message: Veronika West  Date: August 7, 2025  Data Source: Elijah List

“Let Me Train Your Hands for War”

As weaklings we go into battle, but as mighty warriors we emerge for war. “Beloved, let Me train your hands for war and give you fingers skilled for battle!”

Recently, I found myself in a cold doctor’s office, seated beside one of the most remarkable women I know, a woman of valor, who has faced sickness and adversity that would overwhelm most people in two lifetimes. Yet there she sat, receiving a cancer diagnosis that would terrify even the fiercest of fighters… but God!

As we held each other tightly after the news, the road ahead suddenly loomed very dark and beyond daunting. Another fight for her life was about to unfold, not just for her but also for those of us who love her so deeply.

In that heart-wrenching moment, as I watched tears roll down her face, I felt utterly helpless and overwhelmed. I cried out to the Lord, looking for a word of comfort and strength for us both. Then, I heard Him say, “As weaklings you go into battle, but as mighty warriors you emerge for war. Beloved, LET ME train your hands for war and give you fingers skilled for battle.”

“Becoming” Through the Flames of Affliction

Reflecting and meditating on those powerful words, the Spirit of Revelation began to show me that it is only through the crucible of conflict and despair that we “BECOME” by the flames of affliction. If we will choose to yield to the searing fire and heat, our lives will be tempered and transformed in order to truly reflect the One who controls the furnace dial.

As we navigate through the valley of the shadow of death, let us choose trust over fear. Amidst the turmoil and tempest, the Holy Spirit will empower us to wield our worst fears as mighty weapons of warfare. Our doubts will be transformed into fearless courage, enabling us to confront the fiercest storms with unwavering and unshakable hearts. If we keep our eyes fixed on Him, we will arise victorious! (Photo via StockCake)

The shadows of despair and death in this valley may seem frightening and overwhelming, but we do not walk by sight; we advance by faith. The light of His love and glory will always pierce and penetrate the veil of the darkest of places, illuminating the supernatural strength and power to prevail that dwells by His Spirit within us. From the fires of adversity and from the ashes of conflict, if we will LET HIM train our hands for war and our fingers for battle, we will emerge not merely as survivors but as mighty warriors of divine purpose and destiny. Equipped and ready, we will forge ahead into uncharted waters and claim the land of promise, where the giants become our bread!

Equipped for Every Trial and Test

Remember, in this journey of supernatural transformation and spiritual metamorphosis, we are NEVER alone. The Lord Himself walks beside us. His ever-present presence is a constant companion, equipping us for every fiery trial and testing ahead. If we will LET HIM train our hands for war, every mess will truly become a message of redemption, restoration, and greater transformation. Every setback will become a divine setup for reaping the spoils of gold and silver and greater blessing.

In the midst of our hearts breaking and our spirits aching, the Potter’s wheel is turning as He gently begins to reshape and remold our greatest fears into fierce and immovable resolve.

Take heart, dear friend, if you have been thrust as a weakling into battle. Remember, the battle will not define you, but it will refine you! FOR THIS BATTLE IS THE “BECOMING” OF A MIGHTY WARRIOR TRAINED FOR WAR!

An Unbreakable Legacy as Warriors

Yes! We may find ourselves stumbling, and we may feel like we are crumbling, but like the phoenix that rises from the ashes, as we wait on the Lord, we will rise up on wings like eagles to soar high above the valley of the shadow of death. With every tear shed and with every desperate prayer whispered, we are being meticulously crafted. Our legacy as warriors will be unbreakable, unstoppable, and filled with divine purpose. And in those quiet nights when doubt and fear creep in, and the shadows of death fill the room, let us remember the promises of God etched by the finger of God in our hearts. (Photo via StockCake)

With every breath we will declare faith, radical hope, and healing! And with every step, we will reclaim what the thief came to rob, kill, and destroy. When the enemy comes in like a flood, trying to convince us of our weaknesses, we will arise with the sword and shield and with the belt of truth to declare that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. His strength is made perfect in our weakness, and we rise not in our own might but in His.

I know the battlefield may seem endless, but we are not without hope. He is a light in the tunnel. Every fight for the warrior is not in vain, but it is a divine opportunity to become part of a sacred tapestry, woven with golden threads of supernatural resilience, faith, and courage. Each battle fought and won is by the Blood and by the power of our testimony, to the glory of God and to the power of His unyielding love and faithfulness!

So, friends, today we will lift our heads high, with our hearts bold, and declare, “I am a mighty warrior of war!”

We will take up the armor of God and wield the sword of the Spirit to claim victory over every giant that stands in our way. As mighty warriors, we march onward—unafraid and unashamed—knowing that with God as our Commander, victory is not just a possibility but a God-given covenant promise to fulfill our destiny.

Editorial Special Section: Lana Vawser: GUARD THE GATES

Message: Lana Vawser Date: August 6, 2025 Source: Lana Vawser Ministry

Recently I heard the Lord say, ‘Guard the gates.’

When the Lord spoke these words I could feel an intense shaking in the spirit. It was a greater awakening call from the Lord’s heart to guard the gates of our eyes, our hearts, our minds, our homes, our families, the areas the Lord has called us to watch over within our assignments and our nations.

As the voice of the Lord went forth, it was a call to ‘GREATER ATTENTION’.. It was not from a place of striving or a place of fear, but I could feel the urgency in the spirit as He spoke that we must be ALERT and WATCHFUL right now more than ever before – FROM living close to His heart and listening to His voice.

Again, the Lord showed me that the enemy has come against many with weariness, discouragement and intense warfare to attempt to cause them to give up, to sleep and to withdraw from the gates. This attack of weariness that has come against many for so long has been relentless and I could see the eyes of the Lord upon them in this season to strengthen and refresh them. What struck me was as Lord was speaking those words, ‘Guard the gates,’ I could hear and see the wind of the Spirit blowing fiercely. As I leaned in and asked the Lord about this wind I heard the Lord say. ‘It’s My second wind, it’s My second wind.’

As I continued to lean in and ask the Lord about this weariness, I heard the Lord say, ‘As My people stand at the gates with a resolve to not move or be removed, I am strengthening them with a second wind. Where others have fallen at the gates in discouragement, weariness or have fallen asleep at the gates, My voice is going forth to call them, “AWAKE AWAKE,” and My second wind is coming upon them. For I call not My people to stand at the gates and guard the gates in their own strength, but I call them to stand at the gates in and from intimacy with Me and in My empowering strength, and guard the gates.’

As I continued to lean in and listen to the Lord, I heard:

‘The enemy is at the gates and has been roaring at the gates for a long time. Many have had the enemy at many different gates in their lives and in the nations with great force. But I say unto you, I am calling you deeper into My presence to listen to what My Spirit is saying – as My Spirit is shining light on where the enemy has been given access through the gates in the lives of My people and in the nations. I am raising up the sound of repentance and the roar of intercession louder and louder in the lives of My people and the nations to EVICT THE ENEMY! I am raising up and awakening My people to the power of My shed blood, the power of My blood to evict the enemy, to break his power, to cover, to protect and to bring LIFE.

‘I say unto you, My people, “PREPARE THE WAY! PREPARE THE WAY! PREPARE THE WAY, for I the King of Glory am coming in!” (Psalm 24) I am coming in! I am coming in! I am coming in, in ways you have NEVER seen. In your lives, in your homes, in your cities and nations like you have never seen. I am moving, I am shaking, I am awakening. I am moving swiftly, but you have not even begun to comprehend My Glory that shall be revealed in your midst. The darkness shouts, but My Glory shall be seen and declared in the earth. I say unto you, that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of My Glory as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14)

‘Arise and awake at the gates! My Spirit wind is blowing! Arise and awake at the gates! I am bringing forth greater intel and intercessory strategy to stand, declare and pray. I say unto you, do not be distracted by the roar of the enemy at the gates, but ARISE and stand in the revelation and manna that I am releasing to you. Open your mouth to declare that which I am speaking, for I say unto, you the tidal wave of My Spirit is coming! The momentum has begun. The rumbles of the rising waters are tangible.

‘The enemy is attempting to lull many to sleep at the gates through weariness, intimidation, fear and the fear of man. I say unto you, come deeper into Me, come deeper into My Word. Repent for complacency, repent for any agreement with the enemy, and watch the awakening breath of My Spirit come heavily upon you, and the baptism of My fire come upon you and cause you to stand and guard the gates in ways you have not experienced before. My Glory is coming! My Glory is coming! I am calling you, My people, get ready! Get ready! Do not entertain or dance with the enemy: arise and stand in consecration unto Me, for I am coming.

‘I say unto you, that there is harvest at the gates. There is harvest at the gates. I say unto you, that you will see the harvest of what has been sown at the gates. There will be a greater revealing of what has been allowed in the and through the gates, and there will be an even greater revealing and reaping of what has been sown. I am dealing with gates in a greater way right now and I am calling you My people, listen to My voice and allow My Spirit to reveal what is being let in and through the gate. I am increasing the fire of My purification upon the gates in your lives, My people. I am bringing a greater awakening to what you are allowing into your lives and bringing you deeper into the place of holiness and consecration unto Me.

‘I say unto you, I am preparing you for a mighty move of My Spirit and revealing of My Glory like you have not seen before, but you must yield to the workings and leading of My Spirit. I say unto you, as you continue to yield to My ways and embrace My purifying fire – in the place of deep intimacy and living in My Word – I am increasing your discernment in this hour in unprecedented ways to guard the gates of your lives, cities and nations. As I increase discernment in this hour, draw deeply into Me and allow Me to disciple you in this discernment and to teach you in greater ways, how to pray.

‘I am raising up warriors. I am raising up an army who will stand at the gates and guard the gates. I say unto you, AWAKE! AWAKE! AWAKE! Lean into Me and ask Me to reveal to you what I am revealing to you now about being a GATEKEEPER of your inner world, your homes, your families, cities and nations. The enemy has come after you as a gatekeeper, but I say unto you, that his efforts shall fall to the ground as you lean in and listen to My voice and the leading of My Spirit and follow Me as I walk you by My Spirit through My Word and take authority over his schemes.

‘I say unto you, continue to bind the spirit of distraction that attempts to keep you from guarding the gates. Bind the weariness, bind the confusion and discouragement and receive My second wind blowing upon you. I say unto you, that I am bringing national change. I am bringing national change in this hour as My people arise and stand in and upon My truth and PRAY. I am bringing forth the birthing that I have promised. I am calling you to further attention, My people. There is an increase in intel to guard the gates. Remain focused and stay steadfast. For not only will you see greater victories as you guard the gates, but you are making way and preparing the way through your intercession for My Glory to come in.’

‘So wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice!
Fling wide, you eternal doors!
Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in.’
Psalm 24:9 (TPT)

Editorial Special Section: Ricci Johnson-Wilson: “I Thirst”

Message: Ricci Johnson-Wilson Date: August 1, 2025 Source: World for Jesus

John 19:28-30 ²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. (Ps 22:14-15) ²⁹ Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

What is finished? The fulfillment of the Covenant. From conception to crucifixion to resurrection, Jesus fulfilled over 300 Old Testament prophecies through His life. (A mathematician once figured out the odds of one person fulfilling just 8 of those prophecies, he said the odds are 1 in 10 trillion, he added, fulfilling 48 of those prophecies would be 1 in 157 trillion. So, what are the odds for over 300?)

So here, in verse 29, fulfilling Ps 22:14-15, Jesus said “I thirst.” Why did He, the One Who possessed Living Waters thirst? Was this a fleshly thirst or did His soul cry out for something spiritual? Was His cry for those Living Waters to quench His now contaminated soul?

Our Lord and Savior, while all God and all man, experienced this suffering to the fullest. In Luke 22:42 we read how He wrestled with His own flesh over the torment He was about to endure. I would argue that His wrestling was with the separation He would experience with the Father. He spent hours upon hours crying out to God for this cup of suffering to be taken if possible. He knew there wasn’t, but He was on a rescue mission: to redeem mankind and reunite us with our Heavenly Father. He submitted His will to the Fathers. Then, in obedience, He drank the cup of suffering.

Saturday July 26, I awakened to a cry “I Thirst” and I saw the Lord upon the Cross as He looked into the heavens for the Father. My heart was instantly broken…

His cry “I thirst” permeated my soul. Some may try to say this is about me, some vacancy in my heart, or whatever, even encourage me to leave it in the prayer closet. But what if it isn’t? What if He, our Lord and Savior, the One who possesses the Living Waters, is really crying out for His Body to return to Him? What if we need those Living Waters but we refuse to seek Him out? Or are we too busy? What if our souls are dehydrated and He is reminding us to return to Him in an impassioned manner, seeking His face with the same passion and determination He sought the Father with day in and day out? Scripture records time and time again He ministered to the people all day and then went away to a place alone to pray and be with the Father all night.

I believe, as He hung upon that cross, and for all intents and purposes His flesh was indeed dehydrated. The sheer loss of blood would bring about a level of dehydration that would cause His tongue to cling to the roof of His mouth. But He had won the battle over the flesh, the 40-day fast proved that… the final victory was won in the Garden the night before, would He really be crying out to mankind, the ones who crucified Him, for a drink to quench His thirst?

Jesus knew this was why He came, this cup of suffering was to redeem all of mankind to the Father. He came to battle for us in the Garden of Gethsemane and won the war that Adam lost in his Garden of Eden, so long ago.

In spite of the beatings, so unbelievably cruel, in spite of the 39 lashes, that ripped his flesh from his muscles, tissues, and even down to His bone, in spite of the long agonizing death that occurs while on the cross, He’d won that battle to overcome the physical suffering in the garden the night before. The Spirit was with Him throughout this torture, the grace was there, as horrific as this was because He knew the price if He failed. Jim Caviezel who played the role of Jesus in the 2004 film “The Passion of the Christ” would still tell you, that just playing the role of one crucified almost killed him. He still deals with heart complications today. Imaging living it.

That cry… “I thirst”

What did Jesus thirst for? I believe this was a dual cry from our Lord. He was crying out for the presence of the Father. He’d taken our sin upon Him, our sin and shame, and when the sin of humanity was packed upon the sinless Lamb (Isaiah 53:12), the Father would begin to draw back. Why? Sin separates us from God. The tearing of our Lord’s heart would be instant as the Father turned away. The cry of our Savior, for that Living Water, that cleansing that washes away all sin and shame must’ve reached the Throne Room as the weight of our horrid sin rested on His pure and Holy frame (1 Peter 2:24). So great was our sin, that in the moment the sky went dark, our sin piled high, became the wall of separation between Jesus and the Father Who Jesus walked so intimately with. Why? A Holy God could not gaze upon so much sin. The Father would turn, the grief of this separation was so great that as Jesus breathed His last breath we would see the impact here on earth as the sky would grow dark, the earth would shake violently, and tear the 60-foot high, inch-thick veil between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies was torn from top to bottom. (Matthew 27:51, Mark 15:37-39)

Why the separation?

When Jesus died on the cross, all our sins—without exception—were transferred to Him. He was without sin, for He was God in human flesh. When He died all our sins were placed on Him, and He became the final and complete sacrifice for our sins. In that moment, He was banished from the presence of God, just as Adam and Even were banished from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:23), for sin cannot exist in God’s presence. Jesus’ cry speaks of this truth; He endured the separation from God that you and I deserve.

Imagine the grief of the Father, His son bearing the sin of all mankind, the emotions of all of heaven had to be at their highest, the hand of God as it were, reaching down to tear open centuries of tradition only to reveal the holy place was empty. No Ark of the Covenant, it was, and had been, void of His presence. The barrier between God and humanity was gone! It was a new day for a new way and all those who wanted to drink that Living Water need only look up and receive, their redemption was nigh!

Jesus fulfilled John 6:35  ³⁵ And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

I firmly believe the Father longed for His creation as much as Jesus thirsted for the Father, that’s why He came, to reconcile the relationship and invite us back into His presence.

I thirst

Two of the most profound and heartbreaking words.

Jesus said when Satan tempted Him after His 40-day fast, man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of the Father. He lived His life to hear and obey every Word that comes from the Father. He obeyed Him through to the end, and in the end, He overcame sin and death for you and I. His own agony in the garden the night before His passion, the night before this period of separation, would result in Him sweating great drops of blood. How many of us would agonize the thought of separation from God to the point where we would sweat great drops of blood?

I thirst

Does the Father thirst for His people?

Let us look at one unlikely example:

John 4:3-30 ³ he left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee. ⁴ And he must needs go through Samaria. ⁵ Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. ⁶ Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. ⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. ⁸ (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) ⁹ Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. ¹¹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? ¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? ¹³ Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: ¹⁴ but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. ¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. ¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. ¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: ¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. ¹⁹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. ²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. ²¹ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. ²² Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. ²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. ²⁴ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. ²⁵ The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. ²⁶ Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. (And the veil was rent!)

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? ²⁸ The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, ²⁹ Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? ³⁰ Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

History records this woman as Photini. She walked approximately a mile round trip every day, in the heat of the day to Jacob’s well to satisfy one of mankind’s greatest needs: water.

In fact, the need for water is one of the most powerful natural appetites. A man can go 30-35 days without food before the body transitions into a literal starvation state, where medically speaking, you are starving to death, and the body will even begin to eat its own organs for survival. On the other hand, when it comes to water, he can go about 3 days before the body will begin to move into such a serious state of dehydration that his organs will begin to shut down, leading to death without immediate intervention.

The need for water is intense at a physical level. At the spiritual level, it becomes a cry from deep within that leads one to seek out the Living Water. Photini’s soul ached to be quenched, and her history seems to indicate she’d sought every avenue to quench it, yet she continued to yearn. In truth, she thirsted for that Living Water to cleanse her, purify her, and renew her from within.

Photini walked alone in this region, one that typically was not traversed alone due to safety issues. Women usually went in a group in the cool of the day. We can say all kinds of things about her past; it is enough to say that her wounds left her traversing this path to Jacob’s Well alone in the heat of the day.

But wouldn’t we all prefer to hear how Christ transformed her?

Today was a Divine Appointment. Photini is on a quest to satisfy her thirst, again. But this particular day, would be the day her inner cry would become a reality. She would be made new in Christ.

In Eastern Orthodox tradition, this woman’s courage and ministry is recorded.

Her name at the time of her meeting Jesus is unknown, though she was later baptized “Photini” by the Apostles, meaning “enlightened one” because she understood Jesus’ identity as the Messiah. She is celebrated as a saint of renown. As further recounted in John 4:28–30 and John 4:39–42, she was quick to spread the news of her meeting with Jesus, and through this many came to believe in Him. Her continuing witness is said to have brought so many to the Christian faith that she is described as “equal to the apostles” in her evangelism. Eventually, having drawn the attention of Emperor Nero, she was brought before him to answer for her faith, suffering many tortures and dying a martyr after being thrown down a dry well.

What tortures?

In Rome the Emperor ordered Photina and her family to be brought before him and he asked them whether they truly believed in Christ. All the confessors refused to renounce the Savior. Then Nero ordered that the joints of their fingers be broken. During their torments, the confessors felt no pain, and their hands remained unharmed.

Nero ordered that Sebastian, Photinos and Iosḗs –Phontini’s sons—be blinded and locked up in prison, and Photini and her five sisters Anatolḗ, Photó, Photida, Paraskevḗ and Kyriakḗ were sent to the imperial court under the supervision of Nero’s daughter Domnina. Photini converted both Domnina and all her servants to Christ.

Three years passed, and Nero sent to the prison for one of his servants, who had been locked up. The messengers reported to him that Sebastian, Photinos and Iosḗs, who had been blinded, had recovered their sight, and that people were visiting them to hear their preaching, and indeed the whole prison had been transformed into a bright and fragrant place where God was glorified.

Nero then commanded the Saints to be crucified, and their bodies to be beaten with straps.

Nero ordered that the skin to be flayed from Photini’s body, and then to throw her into a well. Sebastian, Photinos and Iosḗs had their legs amputated, and they were thrown to dogs. Then their was skin flayed off. Photini’s sisters also suffered terrible torments. Nero ordered soldiers to cut off their breasts, and then to flay their skin. An expert in cruelty, the Emperor prepared the most painful execution for Photina. Her feet were tied to the tops of two trees which had been bent to the ground. When the ropes were cut the trees sprang upright, tearing the martyr apart. The Emperor ordered the others beheaded.

Photini was removed from the well and locked up in prison for another twenty days. Nero had her brought to him and asked if now that her sisters and children were gone, if she would now relent and offer sacrifice to the idols. He offered her great wealth even, still, she refused.

She would never deny the One who gave her Living Water.

Nero ordered that the martyr be thrown into the well again. There she surrendered her soul to God. History records that she sang hymns from that dry well and that well served as an amplifier of her worship, ringing out into the region until she could sing no more and ultimately gave her life, physically she died of dehydration, spiritually, she was eternally quenched by the Giver of Living Waters.

John 6:35  ³⁵ And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

And what about the bread of life found so abundantly in His Word? Do we hunger and thirst for Him as He does for us?

Let’s look at one testimony I just learned of:

Mary Jones grew up in Wales at a time when the Spirit of the Lord was moving in the land, it had wonderful revivalists, however, few children learned to read or write. By the time she was a youth most of the revival preachers of the 18^th Century had died, but a younger generation of men such as John Elias and Christmas Evans and Rev. Thomas Charles had been called by God to preach the Word. Rev Charles, who had studied at Oxford University and had also spent time at Olney in Buckinghamshire. In 1783 Charles began a long and fruitful ministry in the north Wales town of Bala which overlooks the attractive Bala Lake and green mountains beyond. He carried a great burden for the communities within, preaching in barns, farmhouses, and in the open air.

As a child Mary knew Thomas Charles, for he would sometimes come to preach at her chapel at Cwrt.

Charles’s great ambition was that they should have the opportunity to read and then discuss the Bible and its message. Complete chapters, sometimes whole books of the Bible, would be committed to memory. These schools were a means of grace to thousands of people who were blessed as they read their Bibles. However, each teacher and perhaps one other person in each community actually had a Bible of their own.

The more I study the Wales revivals and their revivalists, the more I’ve come to understand how much this tiny island influenced our own nation.

Just before Mary’s tenth birthday one of these schools was set up in her town, Abergynolwyn. Mary was delighted to have the opportunity to attend and learn from her teacher John Ellis and, later, Lewis Williams. Mary made excellent progress learning to read from the Welsh Bible.

Mary’s new ability to read deepened her interest in and love for God’s Word. Her greatest cry was to have a Bible of her own. A local farmer’s wife, Mrs. Evans, invited Mary to come to her home whenever she was free to read their family Bible in the parlor. Mary walked the two miles regardless of the weather, to avail herself of the opportunity to eat and drink of His Word. She was only ten.

By now Mary resolved within herself to work hard and save up the money to buy her very own Bible. It may not seem like such a difficult thing to us, but for a poverty-stricken girl in the late eighteenth century it would have been a huge challenge. Undaunted, she worked hard to save a little money week by week and month by month. She kept chickens and sold the eggs, sold the honey from her extra hive of bees, and also took in sewing. One day she returned a wallet she had found to its owner and was delighted to receive a sixpence for her honesty. In her own words she tells us that:

One stormy Monday morning I was walking to a farmhouse about 2 miles from my home. A gentleman riding a white horse and wearing a cloth cape came to meet me and asked where I was going through such wind and rain. I said I was going to a farmhouse where there was a Bible, that there wasn’t one nearer my home and that the mistress of the farm had said that I could see the Bible which she kept on a table in the parlor, as long as I took my clogs off. I told him that I was saving every halfpenny, this long time, to get a Bible but that I didn’t know where I could get one. The gentleman was Charles of Bala. He told me to come at a certain time, that he was expecting some Bibles from London and that I could purchase one from him.

The Rev. Charles lived in a big house in the center of the High Street in Bala, twenty-six miles away.

It took Mary six years to save the money for her Bible. She was now nearly sixteen years old and had enough money to make the journey to Bala. The long journey and whatever dangers she might face on the way were not considered by her too much, her only concern was to obtain a Bible of her own. She walked barefoot to spare her shoes up over the Cader Idris mountain, passing the lakes below and crossing mountain streams, through woods and fields to get to her destination.

In her own words she relates her memorable experience:

When the time came, my mother put the money and a little bread and cheese in one end of a wallet and my clogs in the other, and I set off for Bala on a fine morning, resting where there was a stream of clear water, to eat the bread and cheese. I came to Bala, and trembling, knocked on the door of Mr. Charles’ house. I asked for Mr. Charles and was told he was in his study at the back of the house. I was allowed to go to him, and he told me the Bibles had not arrived. I started to cry because I did not know where to stay. He sent me to an old servant of his who had a house at the bottom of the garden, until the Bibles came. When they came, I set off home with my precious burden. I ran a great part of the way; I was so glad of my Bible.

In December 1864, Mary did not become a great missionary or evangelist in her own right, she simply had a tremendous hunger for the Word. However, we learn something special from the fruit of her 26-mile journey and how Mary impacted Rev Charles.

A marble headstone marks the spot and carries the following inscription, in English and Welsh:

IN MEMORY OF MARY JONES

WHO IN THE YEAR 1800, AT THE AGE OF 16, WALKED FROM LLANFIHANGEL-Y-PENNANT TO BALA

TO PROCURE A COPY OF A WELSH BIBLE FROM THE REV. THOMAS CHARLES, B.A.

THIS INCIDENT LED TO THE FORMATION OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY

Together, they began printing Bibles which were then distributed far and wide. Mary’s hunger, her unquenchable thirst for the Word, led to the mass production and distribution of His Word!

John 6:35  ³⁵ And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Think about Photini who gave everything she had, for 30 years she spread the hope of the Gospel message throughout Judea, down through northern Africa, and up into Rome. She watched her children and her sisters brutally murdered by Nero because they would not deny Christ, the Giver of Living Water. She too, would not relent in her faith and while she was cast into a dry and barren well, her eternal thirst had been quenched three decades earlier by her Savior, the One she met by the side of Jacob’s Well who promised if she would believe on Him, she would never thirst again.

Then Mary, who even as a child had such a hunger for His Word, spent six years saving up her coins to earn enough to then walk 26 miles one way to obtain that Living Word for herself.

Jesus, Who’s great sacrifice of even a brief separation from His Father compelled Him to cry out “I THIRST!” while He hung upon that cross, paved the way for Photini, Mary, you and I alike to have our hunger and thirst satisfied.

What He was willing to take on for us, to tear the veil of separation and pave the path for redemption is beyond my comprehension. In addition, when we hunger and thirst for Him as He hungers and thirst for us, we pursue Him with an unquenchable desire to fill that void within our heart, our mind and our soul. This enables us to go deeper in God, grow in maturity and expand in authority in His Kingdom. This is the key to overcoming obstacles that perhaps we’ve been unable to overcome both in our personal lives as well as in our Church and our nation.

I thirst…

Josephus, the 1^st Century historian records that Jesus died of a ruptured heart. When the soldier thrust his spear in His side blood and water gushed out. Blood our redemption, living water our eternal salvation. The physiology of that event, however, is indicative of a ruptured or broken heart. Jesus’ heart burst within His chest as He cried out to the Father. The sin, our sin, separated He and the Father for the first time in all of eternity. I can only imagine that feeling…

His heartbreak, should it not be our heartbreak as well?

That cry I heard before the sun arose last Saturday still burns within my heart with an indescribable pain, one that makes me cry day and night, I Thirst for You my Savior, I hunger for You my Lord, fill me up to overflowing that I may live and die for You.

Much love,

Ricci

Editorial Special Section: 【Voice of Fig】 Prophetic Message 578546 This is not the plundering season you think it is

Message : Jenny Lee   Date : August 10, 2025 Source: YouTube video

Ending the curse of the narrow land and entering the spaciousness of the promised land

• “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let it stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not hold back; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.” —Isaiah 54:2
• “He brings me out into a large place; he rescues me, because he delights in me.” —Psalm 18:19

• Heavenly Father, I stand before You in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and declare that I no longer live in a narrow place, no longer restricted, constricted, delayed, or held hostage! I confess and renounce all inherited curses, thought patterns, and environmental pressures that have brought about a “straight place” mentality—including: fear-ridden spiritual habits, cycles of slavery, patterns of stagnation, a cowardly and withdrawn self-image, and a self-curse that condemns me as unworthy of blessing. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I now declare all these curses and chains broken!
• Curse Revoked: I declare by the blood of Jesus that every spiritual contract, voice, comment, and shadow that has limited me is now null and void! Every accusation against my possessions, influence, finances, destiny, family, and land is now revoked in the court of heaven! I have emerged from “slavery” like Israel out of Egypt. My feet no longer tread in brick kilns built for Pharaoh, but are heading for the land flowing with milk and honey that God has prepared for me!
• Destiny Transformation Declaration : I declare: My God is a God who makes rivers in the desert and turns the wilderness into a garden. I will break through left and right, expand my boundaries, devour my enemies’ land, and gain spiritual inheritance. Narrowness no longer defines me, limitations no longer control me, and delays no longer hold me hostage! I step into the promised land, into the abundant grace and covenant of God. I declare: I am entering a broad, stable land, flowing with milk and honey. I will not only fight for myself, but also for the inheritance of all generations!
• Preparing to Enter and Possess the Land : Heavenly Father, I ask You: Tear down the walls of relationships, resources, time, and circumstances that hinder me. Tear down the fear, self-doubt, and unbelief I harbor about entering the Promised Land. Send an army of angels before me to clear the way and cut through the thorns and snares of the enemy. I cross the Jordan River by faith, and the land I step on is God’s given to me!
• Conclusion : Dear Holy Spirit, come and fill me now and anoint me, so that I will no longer return to a “narrow heart,” “narrow dreams,” or “narrow expectations,” but will put on the king’s robe and embark on the king’s path! I will enter the promised land, the destined season, and lead many people out of bondage and into their destined inheritance together! In the glorious and victorious name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
• Your imagination is being upgraded , allowing you to dream in a whole new way, to see and conceive in a way you have never experienced before.
• In the past, you truly carried within you the seeds of destiny—the substance and hope of that calling were already within you, but you lacked the scaffolding to understand and move toward its fulfillment. Now, God is closing that gap. He is ushering you into a blueprint flow, the rhythm and method of this upgrade. You are entering a flow where design and revelation converge, and He will lead you through the contradictions, into the “other side of the paradox.”
• You are beginning to realize a reality you haven’t yet discovered. As the truth unfolds, you’ll gain a greater grasp of situations and circumstances, providing a clearer path forward. When light overcomes darkness, truth will reveal hidden things. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
• God is closing some doors to protect you from things that will bring you a lot of pain! Doors that are closed are just as much of a blessing as doors that are opened!
• What may take a long time for humans, God can accomplish/accomplish in a short time… One divine moment can change everything.
• You’ve made some progress, but you can’t stop there. Keep pressing forward until you’re confident you’ve done everything you can to address your current dilemma. I am with you to give you wisdom and show you the path to complete success, says the Lord. Isaiah 41:10 “Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
• When making decisions or acquiring things, don’t be selfish or self-centered. You have the opportunity to make life-changing choices, but if you only consider your own consequences without considering everyone involved, the results will be less than ideal. You must seek my wisdom and guidance, says the Lord. Proverbs 11:24 “He who gives gives more, but he increases more; but he who withholds more than he deserves only ends up in poverty.”

You will jump into your promise!

• It’s time to jump!
• I received a dream in which I was preparing to skydive. A leader stood beside me – calm and confident, as if he owned the plane. He was in authority, overseeing/managing every detail.
• As I prepared to leap, I saw in a vision my parachute. It looked like a rainbow carefully packed into my backpack, and it “looked like a promise,” waiting to be released the moment I stepped out.
• I knew that when I jumped, my parachute would open and release a huge rainbow into the sky!
• This dream wasn’t just for me – it’s a word for many of you as well.

You’ll step into your promise, and when you step out

• You’re standing on the brink of something unfamiliar/fortunate…perhaps even scary. The challenge ahead feels bigger than you are. Maybe it’s not what you expected—or even what you wanted—but it’s what God is asking you to step into.
• Your promise awaits you on the other side of your obedience. It won’t come from staying in your comfort zone. It takes faith. But you don’t walk into it alone. God will go before you and surround you with the right people—leaders, mentors, and voices of wisdom—to help manage what He’s calling you into. Like Peter stepping out of the boat ( Matt. 14:28-29 ), your miracle requires action. Breakthrough is just on the other side of your step of faith. It’s time to take the leap. God has prepared a parachute for you. “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7).

God is connecting you to covenant community

• You will no longer walk alone.
• Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
• True growth happens when you connect with the right people who challenge and lift you up. I decree and declare that God is sending people who see, speak, and inspire your purpose. You are no longer alone. You are being planted in a spiritual family.
• Lord, send them kingdom friendships. Let them find a sense of belonging, responsibility, and connection that will bless their lives and enable them to step into the fullness of their calling! In Jesus’ name.

You are being strengthened to run your race, and the fatigue is melting away.

• You are being strengthened to run your race and the weariness/tiredness is melting away.
• Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
• Waiting on God will renew your strength.
• I decree and declare that you are receiving supernatural stamina. You will not burn out, you will rise. Breathe fresh strength into their spirits, Lord. Allow them to soar above every storm. In Jesus’ name!

You are not born what you think you are.

• About three days ago, I entered a very intense time of revelation. Suddenly, I felt, “This is a critical moment. The labor pains are turning into birth.” But I knew this wasn’t just an isolated event; it was global. This was God’s work on earth, re-establishing the Church and preparing her for the great harvest. This was the delivery time for those who had been experiencing labor pains for years but hadn’t been able to give birth—those who had been delayed, long overdue.
• I immediately understood that the Lord was showing me the people He had brought out of the old system, the old religious system, the old Pharisaic system. They had been waiting, saying in their hearts, “Lord, I know I have new wine in my womb, but it doesn’t seem to fit in with the current system.”
• It’s a time of seemingly fruitless waiting. It feels like we’re stuck in the middle, in a state of painful pause. Many of us are asking, “Lord, what’s going on?”
• And the Lord said, “Just wait, because you are not infertile, but this is a critical timing arrangement.”
• Right now, God is still showing the church where she is relying on religion instead of the Holy Spirit.
• He is a compassionate Father who has allowed the Church to feel the emptiness, the lack, the vacuum of religious fatherhood – in place of the Holy Spirit’s guidance. In the midst of this, God is waiting for the right time for someone to embrace the “new thing” and enter into birth, and that person is you.
• Back to my experience a few days ago, I saw many “multiple births” and heard two things:
  • The first sentence: “Now is the time.”
  • The second sentence: “But what you gave birth to is not what you thought it was.”
• This is for those who have been waiting for a long time. The Lord is saying to you: Get ready, because the green light is about to come. Grace and favor are about to come to you. He will prepare your provision. All the necessary resources will suddenly appear. Things will suddenly align. God will gather a team around you, like-minded people, and people with the same spiritual DNA will become your companions.
• Things that haven’t fit together for years will begin to fit together. So why aren’t we giving birth to what we want? Because God is not built on the foundation of old movements, nor is He trying to repeat what we’ve seen or done before.
• Let me get even more personal: Many of you have been asking the Lord, “What am I expecting? What should I do now?”
• The Lord is saying: Let go of your past understanding and experience of “building.”
• You will not build the church the way you thought you would.
• You will not be able to do ministry the way you thought you would. God is detoxing you, cleansing your heart of thought patterns that may be causing you to use the outer shells of old wineskins to contain the contents of new wineskins.
• He is reshaping your entire way of thinking about the Kingdom of God, giving you a completely new foundation to build on.
• It will be holy and undefiled. It will be natural, organic, effortless, free, and will make you alive again in the Lord. We have no idea what is about to be born. Therefore, the Lord says, “As you begin to step onto the waters to give birth to what I have given you, every day, every moment, every brick, every cornerstone, will be built in prayer and worship.”
• The Lord says, “Don’t run ahead of Me. Don’t over-anticipate what I’m going to do, because then you’ll miss My true movements and intentions.”

God is giving birth to a “hybrid” movement

• In the past we have seen single-style explosions, but in this season, God is birthing a hybrid movement in preparation for the greatest harvest in history.
• Now, I prophesy to those who feel confined, long-pregnant, and discouraged: In the coming season, you will need the courage to leave the place that has extinguished your fire and quenched the Spirit. You need to decide that the opinions of others, their judgments, and the traditional models of successful churches and ministries no longer matter. For you are about to inherit the “new thing” God is doing. You may feel “rebellious” and out of “order,” but that’s because you are building something new against the old system. You may be told that you are “uncovered” because what you are doing is incomprehensible to others. But God’s favor will suddenly come upon you, and He will show them that you are pregnant with something new that He Himself has placed in your life.
• In my spirit, I saw a dove with an olive branch in its beak. I immediately exclaimed, “Just like Noah! The dove is returning with the olive branch—the land is coming!” I want to release this prophetic message for you: This is a prophetic sign that the Lord is bringing provision and resources. He will not leave you behind. He knows where you should be, what you should be doing, and with whom you should be walking.
• The Lord says: It’s time to stop hiding the vision I’ve given you. It’s time to stop suppressing the calling and message I’ve placed in your life. It’s time to proclaim it loudly! As Habakkuk 2 says, “Write the vision so that the herald may run.”
• Start prophesying! Because when you prophesy and when you pray, you are laying the foundation for what God is about to bring to life on earth. I believe that over the next five years, we will see what is born in this season become the foundation for the greatest Kingdom movement in history. The current church structure will not be able to sustain the miraculous movement that is coming—that is why you must begin preparing now. In Jesus’ name, amen.

This isn’t the looting season you thought it would be …

• I see that war is at your doorstep.
• I see your enemies prowling around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour, and they are surrounding you.
• I see the chaos that has attacked your family – the restlessness, the anxiety, the fear, the sickness, the sleep and dream deprivation that has plagued you.
• But at this very moment, the thief is exposed, and the Lord is raising a banner for you and closing the door against the enemy.
• If this is your situation, let me release to you a prophetic truth from the Lord this morning.
• I heard the Lord say, “Rise and pray.” As I was praying, I suddenly began to declare these words…
  • This week, you’re going to rise.
  • Things are not what they seem. You feel surrounded. You feel like the enemy is at the door, constantly trying to steal from you. He wants to drain you, to drain your energy and confidence.
  • From the outside, everything seems to be shrinking. Doors seem to be closing, circumstances are becoming intense, emotions are triggered, and life is in turmoil. You feel tortured, attacked, and surrounded by war on all sides. The level of plunder has reached an all-time high. And you are in the middle of 2025, and this entire year has not been what you expected.
  • 2025 seems like a year of “plunder and depletion,” like the Amalekites raiding your home and taking everything away, just like David did when he came to Ziklag.
  • You feel spiritually sick, lost, and abandoned. You are constantly subjected to the clamor and witchcraft attacks of the spirit world.
  • You feel misunderstood, slandered, and your name trampled in the dust.
  • Lonely, broke, and heartbroken. But today I want to release a word to you:
    • You are at the moment of Luke 4:14 : “Jesus, full of the power of the Holy Spirit, returned to Galilee.”
    • You will come out of the wilderness and return with strength.
    • You are not weakened, you are strengthened. You are not moving backward, you are moving forward.
    • Even though your family is under intense attack, the Lord says, “I’m using this moment of tension to expand and take on territory you couldn’t otherwise handle. So, stretch your tent cords to the right and left!” *Take back that territory! Don’t hold back! *Even when it seems like there’s no chance, now is the time to expand, increase, and step out in faith.

The Lord says: This is the moment I have chosen!

• “This is the season when I want to bless your life, elevate you, empower you, and bring you into a new realm.”
• This is the season, just as Jabez prayed: “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my borders; that you would be with me always and keep me from trouble, so that I would not suffer hardship.”—1 Chronicles 4:10
• God granted his request. Yes, this ascension will be painless because you have already gone through the painful process.
• You have been tried and refined, and your hearts have been tempered like gold. As I write these words, I enter the deepest intercession and weep for you. For I feel the deepest brokenness and despair of those who have been struck and crushed for so long. I hear so many crying out, “Lord, I can’t get up anymore. I’ve been knocked down so many times!” But the Lord says, “Get up, My son, My daughter! I am restoring you, brushing off years of psychological attacks and plunder. You are going to take it all back! You are going to claim the inheritance I have for you. You are going to see with your own eyes the fulfillment of all that I have promised you long ago, not only for you, but for your children, and for your children’s children.” You are preparing seats that you have never sat in. You are becoming the parents you never had. You are becoming the revival you long to see.
• So today, hear the word of the Lord: This is not what you think it is. This is a time for growth.
• Now is the time to be fierce in your faith! Shake off the bonds, throw off the sackcloth, throw away the words, the burdens, the anxieties—even the stress you woke up with this morning!
• Shake it off! Get strong in the Spirit and start prophesying!
• Declare, “No, I’m not going to be suppressed anymore. I’m not going to lie down in my bed today. I’m going to get up and roar, I’m going to declare, I’m going to stretch out my tent ropes!” I sense the Lord is saying today, “Even if it looks like the end, bankruptcy, sickness, attacks, and false accusations right now, you’re going to realign your vision and dreams with Me.”
• “Remember I am your God. If God is for you, who can be against you? Now, watch how I turn it all around! Hold on to Me today and this week, and watch how I turn the tables!” I heard in my spirit: The enemy will have his due!
• In health, finances, joy, and so on, the enemy must pay back sevenfold. Because – once the thief is found, he must pay back! I declare now: The thief has been exposed! The attacks against you are now revealed for what they truly are – an enemy siege from all sides.
• Now you see, the tables have turned. Start exercising your authority!
• Begin to prophesy and declare, “This has to change! The thief has been exposed. God has raised a banner in my life. Everything is turning around for me, seemingly in an instant!”

Pray for America: “Communion America” – Help Us Write History in Washington, D.C.

Editor’s Note: This article is reprinted from Dutch Sheets’ August 8th  posting of “Give Him 15 Minutes.”

【 Current Events/Background:  Exodus 23:14-17:  “Three times a year, you shall celebrate a feast to Me. You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed. Also, you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also, the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field. Three times a year, all your males shall appear before the Lord God.”

Deuteronomy 16:16: “Three times in a year, all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Booths, and they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed.”

God understands that we must relate to others on different levels. In Israel, they identified with one another as families, cities, tribes, and as a nation. God realized that the closeness and commitment to one another would decrease as the number of people increased. One of the ways He ensured that Israel would maintain its national identity, while immersed in living life with family, community, and tribe, was this requirement for all of the men (13 years old and upward) to go to Jerusalem three times a year for major feasts. This practice helped keep them all connected both spiritually and nationally.

These journeys were time-consuming and required sacrifice, but they were necessary to remind all of Israel that they were part of something bigger than themselves. Who doesn’t realize how easy it is to get caught up in our own world of family, friends, challenges, and activities?

The principle behind this requirement in Israel is appropriate for us in the body of Christ today. Though we are members of different congregations, streams and “tribes,” we are part of one spiritual nation; we must never fail to remember and honor this. It is inappropriate to think we can isolate ourselves from other tribes and spiritual families. Our union in Christ is far more important than our differences and preferences. God loves and demands unity, and those who divide brothers are an abomination to Him (Proverbs 6:16-19).

There is another occurrence in Scripture mentioned in the books of Numbers and Joshua, which demonstrates the importance of our corporate identity in God’s family and the importance of working together. Joshua 1:12–18 reads:

“To the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said, ‘Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, “The Lord your God gives you rest and will give you this land.” Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but you shall cross before your brothers in battle array, all your valiant warriors, and shall help them, until the Lord gives your brothers rest, as He gives you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to your own land, and possess that which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.’

“They answered Joshua, saying, ‘All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you; only may the Lord your God be with you as He was with Moses. Anyone who rebels against your command and does not obey your words in all that you command him, shall be put to death; only be strong and courageous.”’

These verses refer back to an account in Numbers 32. Three tribes, Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, had requested that Moses give their inheritances to them before Joshua and the entire nation conquered Canaan. They had found land on the other side of the Jordan River that suited their livestock well, and asked that this land be given to them as an inheritance. Moses agreed – as long as they temporarily left their ranches and homes to fight for the other tribes when it was time for Israel to possess Canaan. It was “all for one and one for all” as far as the inheritance of Israel was concerned. Failure to honor this agreement was punishable by death!

Regardless of how settled they were on their farms and ranches, how comfortable they had become in their homes with their families, when the time came to fight, the men would have to pack up, grab their weapons, and fight for their brothers and sisters. Although it was 40 years before the time came for the remaining tribes to possess their land, Joshua – and God – had not forgotten the agreement. Joshua brought it up immediately in chapter one of the book bearing his name, and these three tribes honored their commitment.

How different things would be if the body of Christ thought this way today. If we realized that we could not honor only our tribe’s identity or celebrate only our congregation’s success, but possessed hearts willing to sacrifice and battle for the success of our brothers and sisters, how different things would be. If we realized it was required of us to war for the entire nation, not just for our home and family, how different things would be. Obviously, some causes and battles are local, but others rise to the level of national importance.

As we war for the soul of America – for her revival, restoration, and reset – much of that must be done at the local level. But there are some battles that require all of the tribes to fight as one. This is why God, at times, leads individuals to host significant national gatherings or release national prayer alerts. And when we honor these calls to national prayer, victories flow down to all.

A very significant national gathering will take place in Washington, D.C., on October 9-12. It is simply called Communion America, referencing our faith in the blood of Jesus, and the belief that no person, no religious or political organization, and no human strategy can save America. The journey of salvation we are on is a journey back to our faith in Christ and our relationship with God through His blood:

“What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”

So, throughout the day on Thursday and Friday, we will gather in 50 tents – one for each state — and worship. In the evenings, we will all gather together, worshiping and praying for our nation. On Saturday, October 11, a table of communion will be set up the length of the Washington Mall, and we will humbly partake of the covenant meal together, asking God to cleanse our nation with the blood of Jesus…and send the greatest of revivals.

I can safely say that God has used various visits to Washington, D.C., to accomplish as much or more in my heart than any other activity. There is something about taking a stand in our nation’s capital – as both a citizen of heaven and of America – that is incredibly significant. My emotions have run the gamut when doing so, from overwhelming travail accompanied by many tears to exultant, powerful decrees. If you have never made such a pilgrimage, this would be a great time to do so. During my visits, not only have I been used, I have been marked. Nothing has done as much to solidify the revelation that this is MY country as have these visits to pray in Washington, D.C., Holy Spirit has told me many times while there, “Take ownership of this nation – it belongs to you.”

You should consider joining host David Bradshaw, Lou Engle, me, and other leaders, helping us write this new chapter of America’s history. All for one, and one for all!

Pray for America: 24 Prayers for 24/7 Prayer Against Terror Attacks in America

Editor’s Note: As prophet Chris Reeds mentioned in the message “As is Israel, so is the United States ,” many sleeper cells of terrorist organizations have infiltrated into the United States and established many camps. Like this terrorist attack coming from Israel’s southern border, they are also plotting attacks in the United States through people passing through our southern border.

After President Trump ordered the U.S. Air Force to bomb three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 21, the Iranian government vowed to retaliate. We need to pray, watch, listen, watch, and like the children of Issachar, know the times and seasons. The following prayers are from the 24 prayers in “Elijah’s List”，which was reposted from the prophet Charlie Shamp’s facebook. We encourage all intercessors to pray for the United States under the leadership of Holy Spirit.

Pray for Israel: Current Events and Prayer Focus This Week (8/1)

Editor’s Note : This article on current affairs in Israel and other nations is reprinted from a post on August 5 in the “Caring for Israel Telegram Group ”; the prayer focus is based on the prayer focus issued every Friday by  “ Israel Intercessors ” (8/8 )for  all intercessors to refer to and pray for.

Israel and the Nations

• Twenty-two months have passed since the October 7th massacre, and over 1,200 civilians and soldiers have been brutally murdered. Homes have been burned, infants beheaded, women gang-raped, and Holocaust survivors dragged into captivity, their blood flowing. Over 250 hostages have been kidnapped, and 50 remain in captivity, living in darkness and deprived of essential food and medicine, while Hamas leaders survive on stolen humanitarian aid. The international community, however, is pressuring Israel to exercise restraint, while ignoring the survival of these innocent hostages. Where is the outrage? Where are the Red Cross and international journalists? Simply because we are Jewish, we are ignored. The world continues to move on; we cannot remain silent any longer!

Israel Flexes Its Muscles

• To the West: If you fail to condemn the beheading of babies, you are complicit
• To the United Nations and global institutions: You are allowing the nation that calls itself a “leader” to legalize the brutal killing of families! History will remember
• To the Jewish people: This is our moment of decision: Speak out, stand up, and refuse to be annihilated!
• To Israel’s leaders: We are not here to avoid headlines, we are here to define the future!
• Israel’s rebirth is not just about survival. It is about living with purpose and leading the future.
• Let the world remember: We did not start this war. But we will decide its end! Not in the shadow of October 7th, but in unwavering resolve: for the hostages, for the fallen, for the truth, and for the future.
• Netanyahu has Decided : a complete conquest of Gaza. The cabinet will meet Thursday to approve the plan, which will fully free Israeli hostages and completely defeat and eradicate Hamas. The Chief of General Staff strongly opposes the plan and may resign.

Israel

• Israel’s economy is soaring, with stock prices rising, the shekel strong and investment pouring in despite two years of a brutal, multi-front war.
• Hamas starved and tortured hostages to death, and strangely enough, dozens of Israeli artists and cultural figures signed a petition to Israel: Don’t commit war crimes in Gaza.
•  More than 3,500 Jews went to the Temple Mount to pray during the festival. A pro-Hamas channel pointed out that Israel used to strictly enforce the law on waving the national flag on the Temple Mount due to concerns about the Palestinian reaction, but now “violations” have increased.
• After being closed for several months, Ben Gurion Airport has resumed operations and passenger numbers continue to grow.
• Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Putin spoke by phone for the second time in a week.
• U.S. House Speaker Johnson and his wife Kelly, along with Ambassador Huckabee and others, visited Ariel, the largest Jewish city in Samaria, becoming the highest-ranking U.S. official in history to visit the region.

Hamas/Hezbollah/Syria/Iran

• Palestinians accuse Israel of “genocide”, but this is the most invalid accusation because genocide will reduce the population, while the Palestinian population has increased by 450%.
• American citizens affected by attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah are suing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
• Tensions are rising in Lebanon as Hezbollah plans mass protests ahead of a crucial cabinet vote on whether to disarm the group.
• Despite a declared ceasefire, Syrian militants continue to kidnap Druze women and children, aid deliveries are severely restricted, the internet is shut down, and the regime is tightening its grip on the Druze and suppressing their power.
• Syria appointed Bin Laden’s adviser and al-Qaeda leader Zidan as an adviser to Syrian leader Julani.
• Iran’s Rud River, the lifeblood of the city and the entire region, is suffering from a severe drought.

Nations

• French President Emmanuel Macron has set out conditions for recognizing a Palestinian state.
• U.S. Ambassador to Israel Huckabee said that Israel did not commit genocide, no country worked as hard as Israel to reduce harm to civilians, and criticized the media for being condemnable!
•  Dutch right-wing leader Wilders lashed out at Hamas and the West, saying that “treacherous Western leaders are calling for sanctions against Israel, the West is sick, and Hamas must disappear.” He criticized Islam and called for a fight for freedom and truth.
• Greeks are angry at their government for tolerating the foolish behavior of Hamas supporters.
• A historic synagogue in Ukraine was damaged in an attack by an Iranian-made Russian drone.
• Russia warned Iran that the United States and Israel may launch a joint military strike on Iranian territory in the near future, expressing “grave concern about the uncontrolled escalation of the regional situation.”

Editor’s note : This article is from the JHOPFAN Jerusalem House of Prayer for All Nations post on June 20th

Get ready, the King is coming!

1. Please pray according to Numbers 23:21b-24b : He has not seen iniquity in Jacob, nor has he seen wrongdoing in Israel. The Lord his God is with him; the shout of a king’s cry is among them. God brought them out of Egypt; they are like the strength of wild oxen. There is no enchantment against Jacob, no divination against Israel. Now it will be said of Jacob, and of Israel, “What great things God has done for him!” This people rise up like a lioness, and lift themselves up like a lion. They have not eaten the prey of the wild, nor have they drunk the blood of the wounded, nor will they lie down.

14. Pray that evil manipulators and evil leaders will not be able to take advantage of this situation .
15. Pray for a new government to be formed under the leadership of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi (son of the Shah) , or for the best possible government to be formed.
16. Pray that no other country , such as Russia and China, will help the terrorist Ayatollah Khomeini.
17. Pray that God will use this moment to prepare the way for the salvation of both Israel and Iran in the fullest way possible, allowing Iranian believers to inspire jealousy in the Jewish people so that they will see their Messiah in them.
18. Pray that the Kingdom of God will come to Israel , that the weakest among Israel will be like King David, and that the House of David will be like God. ( Zechariah 12:8 )
19. Pray that God will provide all our needs according to His riches in the glory of the Lord .
20. Pray that God will bring major breakthroughs in Iran and bring all Joshuas, Calebs, and their delegations to pray for their lives, their nations, Israel, and their generations from September 22 to October 6, 2025; pray that God will bring breakthroughs in their lives, their nations, Israel, and their generations.
21. Pray that the nuclear threat and leadership of the serpent – ​​the Islamic Republic of Iran and all its proxies – be removed . Continue to pray and fast for Israel’s repentance, protection, and victory.
22. We pray that no nuclear attack occurs ; that God prevents any nuclear attack on Israel, the United States, or any other country.

We encourage everyone to consider doing as Daniel the Persian Jew did, spending a period of intense prayer and fasting ( Daniel 10):

• Fast for 21 days from June 20 to July 10, and read Psalm 94 of David as the Holy Spirit leads you – based on the 94 days until Rosh Hashanah;
• From June 20th to September 22nd, for the complete breakthrough in nature and spirit for Iran, Israel, and the Middle Eastern countries of Isaiah 19th Avenue!

Dear global family and watchers, thank you for standing in the gap in prayer with God, the people of Israel, and the Body of Messiah representing approximately 70 cities in Israel.

May you be at peace in the love of the Messiah,
Tom and Kate Hayes

Pray for Israel: Will Central Asian countries be included in the Abraham Accords?

Editor’s note : This article is reprinted from the August 6th post of the Jerusalem Global Chinese Prayer Center.

【Current Affairs Background:  US President Trump’s team is in talks with several countries that have recognized Israel to promote symbolic actions. Even though the process of normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia has stalled due to the Gaza War, the United States is still helping to promote Israel’s diplomatic growth.

President Donald Trump’s administration is actively negotiating with Azerbaijan about including it and its Central Asian allies in the Abraham Accords, hoping to deepen their existing ties with Israel, according to five people familiar with the matter.

As part of the Abraham Accords, four predominantly Muslim countries agreed to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel in 2020-2021 under mediation by Trump during his first term.

According to the source, who requested anonymity, Azerbaijan and each of the Central Asian countries already have long-standing relations with Israel, meaning that expanding the agreement to these countries would be largely a “symbolic act” aimed at further strengthening bilateral ties in areas such as trade and military cooperation.

Such an extension also reflects the Trump administration’s flexibility and pragmatism in the current situation. Even though it failed to normalize relations between the Middle Eastern powers Saudi Arabia and Israel as expected, and even though the war between Hamas and Israel in Gaza continues, it is still willing to promote a smaller but meaningful extension of the agreement.

Saudi Arabia has repeatedly stressed that it will not establish formal diplomatic relations with Israel unless Israel takes concrete steps toward recognizing a Palestinian state. The rising death toll in the Gaza war and the widespread famine caused by the obstruction of humanitarian aid have intensified anger in the Arab world and made it more difficult to persuade other Muslim countries to join the Abraham Accords.

The Gaza war has claimed over 60,000 lives, including tens of thousands of women and children, according to unverified figures from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry (the figures do not distinguish between civilians and combatants). The conflict has sparked a strong international backlash. Recently, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom have all announced their intention to recognize the State of Palestine.

Another key factor hindering Azerbaijan’s joining the agreement is its conflict with neighboring Armenia. Three sources pointed out that the Trump administration considers a peace agreement between the two Caucasus countries to be one of the prerequisites for Azerbaijan to join the Abraham Accords .

Sources said that while Trump administration officials have publicly proposed several countries as possible participants in the agreement, the talks centered on Azerbaijan are the most structured and serious dialogue currently underway. Two of the interviewees even believed that a deal could be reached within months, or even weeks.

Trump’s special peace envoy, Steve Witkoff, traveled to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, in March of this year to meet with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Aryeh Lightstone, a key aide to Witkoff and a key figure in the Abraham Accords, also met with Aliyev in late spring to further discuss the Abraham Accords.

Sources indicate that during these discussions, Azerbaijani officials have also contacted officials from other Central Asian countries, including neighboring Kazakhstan, to gauge their interest in joining a broader expansion of the Abraham Accords. It is unclear which Central Asian countries Azerbaijan has contacted, but it is possible that they are Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan.

When asked about this, the State Department did not mention any specific countries, but stressed that expanding the Abraham Accords has been a key goal of Trump. A US official said: “We are working to get more countries to join.”

The Azerbaijani government declined to comment.

The White House, Israel’s Foreign Ministry and the Kazakh Embassy in the United States did not respond to media inquiries.

If a new agreement is signed, it will not affect the content of the original Abraham Accords previously signed by Israel.

Remaining Obstacles

The original Abraham Accords centered on the normalization of diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. However, this expanded accord appears to be evolving into a broader platform for expanding the soft power of both the United States and Israel.

Bordered by Russia to the north and Iran to the south, Azerbaijan serves as a crucial hub for trade flows between Central Asia and the West. The Caucasus and Central Asia region is also rich in natural resources, including oil and natural gas, prompting several major powers to vie for influence.

Expanding the agreement to countries that already have diplomatic relations with Israel could also provide the US president with a symbolic diplomatic victory.

Two sources noted that talks with Central Asian countries are still in the early stages, but progress in talks with Azerbaijan is relatively mature.

However, challenges remain, notably the slow progress of peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan, with no guarantee of an agreement.

Both countries gained independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 but have been at odds since the late 1980s when Nagorno-Karabakh, a mostly ethnic Armenian region of Azerbaijan, broke away from Azerbaijan with Armenia’s support.

In 2023, Azerbaijan retook control of Karabakh, forcing an estimated 100,000 ethnic Armenians to flee to Armenia. Both sides subsequently expressed interest in signing a peace treaty to formally end the conflict.

Armenia, a predominantly Christian country, has long had friendly relations with the United States. Therefore, the Trump administration has been extremely cautious in handling related matters and is unwilling to anger the Yerevan government (the capital of Armenia).

Despite this, U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump himself, have said a peace deal between the two countries is nearing completion.

“We’re doing everything we can to advance peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Trump told reporters in early July. “We’re getting really, really close.”
