Can you believe that it has been almost a year since the 2023 40 Days of Teshuvah special time of prayer and fasting came to a close? And what a year it has been! Never could I have imagined in my lifetime, the events that have unfolded before my eyes. I have a deep intuitive suspicion that you feel much the same. We have cried together, prayed together, inhaled and exhaled every precious and sacred breath together as we scanned local and national television and social media sites and channels, including internet websites, for ligitament breaking news from trustworthy media journalists and news sources (finding few), finally committing ourselves to international news instead. As I scurried to the forefront of each new day's event, I felt a little like John and Peter might have felt as they raced towards the tomb of Yeshua, hoping the news of his siting had been reported accurately. For them, the finish line was their great joy in finding their risen Savior; for us, an agonizing struggle to hang on to hope has kept some of us gasping for air, much like a fish in too shallow of a stream. With every breaking light of dawn, came the hope that perhaps that day would be different, only to find at the end of the day, desperation was intensifying. At some point in our cries for help, we realized that no person, no ally, no army, no elected or unelected official or committee or UN or ICJ or WHO or WEF (and certainly no political party) could save us. We had to return to the source of our hope and strength, Yeshua (Jesus). We had to silence our screaming souls with scriptural Truth, and bathe our racing hearts of fear, in continual prayer. And so we prayed. We prayed alone, with family, with friends, with strangers around the world. We prayed for strength to persevere, to engage our enemy of darkness with the sword of the spirit. We grasped our shield of faith with weakened, trembling hands, and held it before us .. and we ran. We ran with buckling knees, knowing that if we faltered and fell, we would continue the battle in prayer on those shaken knees, until we could rise up and run again. We ran towards an unknown, body armour clanging and sometimes seeming to stifle and weight us down with each stride, knowing that the end of our race, whether in the land of the living or the absence of flesh, would present us before the King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords, our finish line.
Now we run together, once again, as the body of Yeshua. We join truly humbled hearts of family all over the world, from seasoned prayer warriors to brand new followers of our King. We come naked and unashamed before our LORD, because we are His righteousness robed in His fine array. This alone gives us the authority, privilege and power to war in prayer on behalf of Israel, the United States of America, and the entire world.
The battle rages on, but the voices of His beloved bride are getting stronger and louder still. We will not give up or give in. We will not bow down to the father of lies and liars. We are reminded of Ephesians 6:12:
For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. NLT
Won't you join us in the battle of our lives, and the lives of precious Jews all over the world, especially Israel? Satan hates every Jew and follower of Yeshua the Messiah, and he has only one intention, to destroy us all. Although we know, through the scripture, how this finally ends, we have been instructed to watch and pray.
So on to the battleground, dear beloved of the Father.
It's time!
