911 - The Lord is sounding an urgent warning to us

1 Peter 5:8-11
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing the the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 

For weeks now I have been turning to see the time 9:11, mornings and evenings. I've been seeing it in many other places ***911, 911xxx, 000911000, ...911... and so on.

The Lord is clearly sounding an urgent warning to us. I have asked and sought the Lord about this and He said...Don't you know what time it is? Are you also asleep and dull of hearing? So I have made you to be a sign and symbol of the Church today. Asleep and dull of hearing, but confesses to hear and know the voice of God. If My people will turn from their wicked ways and pray to Me then I will make known to them that which is about to be revealed and unleashed that they may be prepared and unafraid of the things they will see with their eyes and hear with their ears. Deception and gross deception has lulled My people to sleep and is tormenting them in their dreams, but I am raising up My trumpets out of the remnant to sound the call to awake the Sleepers, but not too many will hear the call for their sleep is too deep....they are too busy. End

Then the Lord showed me many asleep as He said, but they were not sleeping as I imaged they would be...in a bed with eyes closed. They were doing various things - watching secular television shows and Christian television shows...glued to their television sets, sports shows, hobbies, programs, church programs, shopping at malls, partying in homes and clubs and many other forms of what we call life and living, but in all these different scenes the people were all in what looked like a state of hypnosis or a trance.

He said, My people are too busy by design of the enemy to keep them distracted and unaware of that which is being plotted against them. Wake My people up.

1 Thessalonians 5:3-7
For when they say, Peace and safety! then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman and they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this day should not over take you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk get drunk at night. 

We must not grow weary in intercession. We must not give Him rest, but we must be vigilant to pray and fast...it may be the people will begin to stir and rouse from their deep sleep, but we must not fear them nor fear being rejected. We must stir the people of God to wake up.

Video: Urgent Call to Intercede for Israel 11-21-13

The Lord has instructed me to encourage His intercessors to be strengthened and do not grow weary in your well doing. Your fasting and intercession has wrought much fruit and about to bear even more, but do not stop praying and continue to recruit others to pray with you. It is imperative that we do not let up now. Today is the day of salvation for the Jews! Please watch the clip below and share if you feel led.

Please continue praying and fasting for Israel as we see the nations surrounding her plot and scheme their way into an agreement to remove the Jews from their land.

It will not happen. Period.
The Jews will not give up Jerusalem. Period.
The Jews will not be wiped off the map. Period.
The Jews will not be defeated by any nation, no matter how much larger and powerful. Period.
God will not allow it. Period.

Pray for America, that God will have mercy on us for being a witness and partner with Israel's enemies. This is a very serious thing God does not take lightly. Do not be deceived into thinking we are safe here in America because the potential for war is half way around the earth. The enemy is at work here in America now as we enjoy our malls, entertainment complexes and worship our American Idols. God forgive us. 

What we can do is pray and fast. Make time to do this and ask the Lord to show you what is being planned against us in our own backyard here in America. As He reveals these things, ask Him to show you how to pray for the undoing and reversing of the plans of the enemy. Decree and declare all hidden works and plans for destruction are broken and being exposed. Decree and declare the things that are not obvious are being brought into the light and the institutionalized Church in America is waking up! Amen.

 

Scripture prayer points:

2 Chronicles 20:7 "[Are] You not our God, [who] drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever?

Isaiah 41:8-13 "But you, Israel, [are] My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend. [You] whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, 'You [are] My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: Fear not, for I [am] with you; Be not dismayed, for I [am] your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ “Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them--Those who contended with you. Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing.  For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'

Isaiah 31:5 Like birds flying about, So will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will also deliver [it]; Passing over, He will preserve [it]."

Isaiah 37:35 'For I will defend this city, to save it For My own sake and for My servant David's sake.' "

Job 4:9-10 By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of His anger they are consumed. The roaring of the lion, The voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken. 

Psalm 71:2 Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me. 

Psalm 141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I escape safely.

Psalm 37:12

The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him, For He sees that his day is coming.

 The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you, 
And be gracious to you; 
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, 
And give you peace. 

Amen.

 

Open Your Eyes and...

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. Genesis 21:19

This verse comes from the story of Hagar in the wilderness with her son after she had been sent away by Abram. She wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba with only some bread and a bottle of water until it was gone. When the water was gone she left her son under a bush and walked away some distance because she did not want to witness the death of her baby there in the wilderness. She wept; was without hope with no one to help. At least she must have thought she was without hope and there was no one to help. But God. He heard the baby crying out and spoke a word to Hagar and opened her eyes to see...that even in the place where death to her and her son was certain, it wasn't over yet. Read the story in Genesis 21 from Hagar's prospective. I know that her son was not and is not the promise God made to Abraham. Period. But read the story from Hagar's prospective. She was a mother with a son that was said to have been possibly 14 years of age at the time of Isaac's birth. Life must have been great and looking very promising for Hagar and Ismael until they were sent away into the wilderness. I can only imagine what Hagar must have been thinking at that very moment she made the decision to leave her son behind because witnessing his death was too much for her to bare. But just when it seems it was all about to come to an end, God speaks a word to her and opens her eyes to see that basically, her son, her world, is not dead yet. In fact, He tells her, you and your baby (your dream, your ministry, your marriage, your business etc.) isn't going to die, but it will live, and it will thrive, and it will become great. Wow...what a powerful story and it should be a great encouragement to you if you see yourself in the story today. I believe God is saying to you this morning, "Don't throw your baby away because I have provided living water for you and your baby!" I believe He is saying, "Choose life today and live because I have come into your life and into your wilderness experience that you might have life and life abundantly, but you have to open your eyes. You have to open the eyes of your heart to see that I have provided a way for you!" But when God speaks a word to us directly, or through His Word, or through a person, we must purpose in our hearts to open our eyes to see and then we must get up and act upon that word.

Job says it so beautifully in his wilderness experience in Job 14:7-9:

For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that is will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease, though its root may grow old in the earth, and it's stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant. 

Do you see? Job didn't just think this up himself. No! God opened his eyes to see and then Job acts upon it by saying that he was not giving up on believing God.

Job 14:14 - If a mans dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my change comes. Job now knows that God was not going to leave him the way he was. Job drank the living water God provided in the word Job saw and heard when his eyes were opened by God. We all know how it ended for Job. God blessed him and he became great.

Now I want to say that I just noticed something about this post as I am typing it out. The number 14 is mentioned three times. Once in Ismael being about 14 years old and Job 14:14. Three representing God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I believe the 14 have some meaning for us.

The prophetic meaning of 14 is: Passover, deliverance, salvation, double anointing

Think God is trying to say something to us this morning? Don't give up, help is on the way. This wilderness experience has come, but it has not come to stay. It will pass over you, you will be delivered and receive salvation. In the end, you will better than you were in the beginning as Job and Hagar were.

Decide today to Open Your Eyes and see what the Lord is saying about your situation.

Receive this blessing today:

The Lord bless you and keep you; 
The Lord make His face shine upon you, 
And be gracious to you; 
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, 
And give you peace. 

Amen.

Back from trip to Israel Part 4: Dinner at Richard & Carolyn Hyde's Home

At the end of our first full day in Israel, we spent the evening at Richard and Carolyn Hyde's home. They are wonderful believers in Yeshua the Messiah. Carolyn led us in worship while Richard finished preparing dinner...for all 50 of us! Wow! Such a good man!

I assumed Richard was Jewish, but Carolyn said he isn't Jewish - he's a West Texas Cowboy though! She said together she and Richard are a one new man couple - Jew and Gentile, one in Messiah. She's so cool.

Here are just a few pictures and clips. I didn't get very many, but what I did get will make you feel like you are there. The first two clips were taken when we first arrived at the Hyde's. They took us down the street from their home to teach us Israeli folk dancing. We had so much fun! I apologize for the quality of the sound in the video...too windy. :)

We had a joyous time dancing and rejoicing in the land. 

Below: A view of the Sea of Galilee from the front door of Richard and Carolyn's home. So beautiful...

Below: Inside the Hyde's home for worship

Clip below: Carolyn Hyde and Texas worshiping together!

Clip below: Anointed worship, Carolyn is joined by her son (back to camera)

Clip below: Richard Hyde encourages the group to be bold and witness to the Jewish people, but he gives us some practical advice about how to lead them to Yeshua the Messiah rather than trying to get them to convert. His information was so good that I had to share the clip. Please forgive me for only filming his backside while he preached. I'm sorry Richard my brother! I do better next year!

Below: Time to say good night, but not goodbye.  

Samuel, Carolyn and Richard

Rosalie, Carolyn, Carmen (front center), Richard and Sue

Richard and Carolyn - Thank you so much for having us (Texas) in your home. We will never forget the experience, the hospitality and the food! 

Blessing you abundantly, Samuel

Richard and Carolyn minister to Jewish people and soldiers in Israel, leading many to Yeshua. They also do outreaches in Israel and Germany. Please visit their website at www.heartofg-d.org and support their ministry. You will be blessed by the testimonies and other information they have available. Most of all, please pray for them, and you have to absolutely positively look them up if you are ever in the Israel.

Back from trip to lsrael - Part 3: Jerusalem March on September 23

This was the day of all days for me in Israel. I ran out of the Isaiah 54:17 bracelets. I gave them to many men, woman and children. I was able to give many to Orthodox Jews and even a few Rabbis took them from me. I mentioned in an earlier post about the Rabbi Jonah and his wife Hannah who asked me to pray for them to have a child. They also asked to video me encouraging PM Netanyahu to not bow down to pressure from the US or any other nation to do anything that would hurt Israel. So I did just that. I looked into the camera and address PM Netanyahu saying, My name is Samuel and I am here from America to say to Israel and the people that we love you and are praying for you! I am also here PM Netanyahu to encourage you to not bow down to pressure from the US or any other nation to do anything that would hurt Israel and the people. I continued, Bibi, you hear and know the voice of God and you must trust and obey to not give up any more land. You must only be strong and courageous and do not fear for the Lord your God is with you Bibi! We are praying for you and we stand with you! Amen! 

Wow! I had so much adrenaline flowing through me after that that I thought I was going to take off like an Iron Dome Missile! Read below more information on the March from the Jerusalem Watch Report:

Excerpted from Barry Segal, Jerusalem Watch Report

Christians Part Of Huge Jerusalem March Turnout: Over 60,000 people took part in the annual Jerusalem March held each year during the biblical festival of Succot, the Feast of Tabernacles. The turnout was nearly double the 32,000 that participated in the event last year. Israelis from all over the country ascended to Jerusalem for the march, as did thousands of Evangelical Christians from all over the world. The Christian delegations are always the most colorful part of the march, which winds through the streets of downtown Jerusalem, ending at the walls of the historic Old City. Israelis are fascinated by the demonstration of support by the Christians, and announcers along the route of the march always make a point of singling out these foreign visitors both in order to express their thanks and to make fellow Israelis aware of what is happening. For the Christians, participation in the march is a precursor to the fulfillment of Zechariah 14:16-21, which foretells a time when all those remaining from the nations will be required to "go up to Jerusalem" during Succot. (Israel Today) "And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to keep the feast of Tabernacles. Zech 14:16

I hope you enjoy the following clips and pictures from the march. I am looking forward to returning next year with triple the amount of bracelets to sow into the land and the people, but most of all, to share the love of Messiah. The whole purpose of our being there was to be the hands and feet of Yeshua. 

So we began our day with Paul, under the unction of the Holy Spirit, anointing our feet on the bus before we left for the march.

We anoint Paul's feet. 

Paul explains to Tali, our wonderful guide, he is going to anoint her feet.

We made it to the march. The place is festive with celebrations and food!

Who doesn't love Popeye?

Israelis from across the country celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles

Heading to the staging area to prepare for the march

We had a great time meeting delegations from all over the world while we waited for our place in the march

And now for a message from our sponsors...

Our very own special Bishop Brenda Perry leads our group in an awesome song I'm going to call Ha, ha, ha, ha... You'll understand, just watch the clip. 

Time to start marching!

The people were so excited that we were there. It was very overwhelming. 

My new friend Jonah the Rabbi

This picture of a Jewish father with his son is one of my favorites. The joy in there faces expresses their gratitude and excitement that we were there. This picture is worth a thousand and one words. 

The march is over...too soon. We are regrouping before we start heading towards the bus. 

Stan Goodenough making sure everyone is accounted for before we leave. 

The darlings of Israel!

The Jerusalem March during the Feast of Tabernacles 2013 was more than I expected. I made some new friends that day. I hope to see them next year when I return for Feast of Tabernacles 2014. Remember that your prayers and sowing played a big part in all that I was able to do with the bracelets. Many people were blessed by them and I know God will not forget what you did. He will cause the recipients of those bracelets to become curious about the verse on them and when the begin to search it out...they will encounter Messiah! Hallelujah!

I hope that you enjoyed these pictures and will consider joining me next year in Jerusalem. If you are interested, please let me know and I will forward the tour package information as soon as it is made available. 

Please keep your eyes open for more pictures and clips from Israel. And as always, please feel free to share!

Blessings, 

Samuel
