Israel - Prophetic Perspective and Prayer Call

Dear USRPN Intercessors,

We are sorry to be so slow in responding to the shocking comments that President Obama made concerning Israel last month.  We were traveling out of the country during the time of the President's statement on returning the borders of Israel back to its 1967 borders.
 
As you know, we as a prayer network stand with Israel and believe strongly that a dividing of the land of Israel and Jerusalem in particular will cause our own to be divided in some way.
 
As I prayed about the current situation in the Middle East I feel that God is going to use this pressure to shake Israel up and cause them to seek His face.  I saw many young Messianic believers boldly proclaiming the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ without fear of repercussions.  It is time for many Jewish people to turn to the Lord.
 
On the other hand, the Lord is using this time to "test hearts" concerning this and other nation's stance concerning Israel as a nation.
 
We also agree for the continued need for each state within the United State of America to make sure that they either deepen or establish a covenant root with Israel, and see this happen even in a legislative manner.

In this newsletter we have included a June 3 video prayer alert with prophetic insight and updates from Rick Ridings, the director of the Succat Hallel, a 24-7 House of Worship and Prayer in Jerusalem.  Rick has called for URGENT PRAYER for Israel in the days and weeks ahead.  Several “Days of Rage” against Israel are currently being mobilized with massive marches planned in Jerusalem and on Israel's borders, not as peaceful demonstrations, but for a wiping out of Israel. On one "Day of Rage" Facebook pages, with close to 400,000 followers, says “we must be willing to be a million martyrs in order to liberate Palestine.”

Below you will also find an account of a vision about Israel received by our dear friend, Chuck Pierce.  This vision provides key insight for shifting the nation and the body of Christ into Kingdom alignment and authority in this hour.  In Chuck Pierce’s vision, he specifically warned of significant challenges beginning during this timeframe. One of the most sobering aspects of Chuck’s word is the enemy’s “frog in the kettle” strategy. In other words, the changes the enemy is seeking to implement will be so incrementally small that we will hardly notice them.
 
Please read through Chuck Pierce’s prophetic warning and watch Rick Ridings’ video prayer alert, and join us in fervent intercession for Israel.

The United States Reformation Prayer Network and the Heartland Apostolic Prayer Network have joined forces to participate in weekly intercessory prayer conference calls for Israel hosted by USRPN Regional Coordinator, James Nesbit.  All are welcomed to join in every Thursday night from 7pm-8pm CST to bless and intercede for Israel.  Details are provided below.

May 20, 2011

Dear Praying Saints:

This afternoon I was asked by a good friend if I had heard that a well-known leader prophesied that "Jesus was returning tomorrow!" I said, "Yes, I did hear that but most likely you can continue with your plans for tomorrow!" Whereas we must remain "watchful" on a daily basis, there are many things that must align before that Final Trumpet blows! Let me remind you of something that the Lord showed me. I write about some of this in Redeeming the Time (Charisma House). I do believe that many pick up on what is happening in the Spirit but the only paradigm of interpretation they know is the "Rapture" paradigm and us escaping from the changes ahead.

The Vision!
On May 31, 2008, I was preparing to speak at a large gathering at Liberty State Park in New Jersey near Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Suddenly, the Lord gave me a vision of our nation. He took me three years into the future and began to let me hear and see what our future would look like. He first showed me my own bloodline and the glory and iniquity of its history. He then showed me three years ahead and the two iniquitous spirits that would try to capture my children and children's children.

Next, He showed me that by within three years (by May 31, 2011), a statement would be made regarding Israel in this nation that would realign the nation and determine the future of this land. (With President Obama's speech yesterday endorsing the Palestinians' demand for their own state based on borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war, this has now happened. I believe this statement will create a split in the United States for the next three years as individual states make choices on how they will align.)

KEY: Covenant Roots of Each State
The Lord then revealed His remnant in this nation, which states had covenant roots, which states were anti-covenant, and the divine war that would arise over the future glory of this land. He showed me 21 states that would stand strong with the God of Israel, two states that hung in the balance, and one state that could turn the nation. (To better understand the future of the nations and anti-Semitism, you can purchase God's Unfolding Battle Plan and The Future War of the Church).

Change Begins June 5
The Lord also showed me how financial systems would realign and nations would have different allegiances than we have known in the past. This begins now. Like the frog in the kettle, you will see gradual changes starting June 5.  In Redeeming the Time, I wrote the following:

"On May 31, 2008, the Lord showed me His triumphant reserve. He raised me and showed me the nation of the United States of America. First, He revealed His remnant and where they were positioned. Next, He showed me their strength from state to state to state. He showed me how many were moving over into the enemy's camp of religion. He showed me how others were aligning around race and gender as opposed to mission call and gifting.

High Places, Demonic Networking
Then He showed me high places. These were altars that had been built by the enemy and positioned strategically throughout the land. I saw how the sacrifices on these altars were empowering and keeping an atmosphere held captive by ruling hosts. Next, the Lord showed me the atmosphere. In this vision, He showed me different layers of the atmosphere in relationship to His presence versus the demonic spiritual rule in that particular area or region. (Some areas have already been taken over, and darkness actually rules those areas.) There were ten ruling centers already developed within the United States. Then He showed me the communication systems between these centers. I saw how one sacrifice empowered one dimension of an evil presence, and then that presence would communicate to another center as together they networked their plan of control. (I could go into great detail here, but I will wait for another time to do this. As a matter of fact, I believe it would be unwise to share everything I saw. In the next book when we are dealing with worship, perhaps I will share more.)

Covenant Conflict Between Root Systems
The Lord also showed me covenant roots. He actually showed me the level of nurturing that was still grafted to His covenant root, which He had developed from Abraham's obedience. He showed me how this nation had first been nurtured by that root, but now lifelines from the root system had withered. Actually, some of the lifelines in parts of this nation had dried up, and the root system of that part of the nation had changed, allowing a different root structure to be formed.

He then showed me our conflict between the root systems. These conflicts in the next several years would determine what sort of fruit would be brought forth in this nation. He showed me that the conflicts would multiply and intensify. I actually saw orchards of contention. The interesting portion of this vision was that different people groups in each orchard created a different type of fruit than had been tasted of in past seasons. The only thing I could relate to biblically was the church that came out of Antioch. The Antioch church was an international church that came about for kingdom advancement for that season in history.

Next, He showed me how the communication system in the United States was linked with systems internationally and how a new form of global communications was forming in the demonic world. This communication would control financial and legal structures.

Triumphant Reserve & Freedom Outposts
However, He showed me that His remnant was building new freedom outposts. He called this remnant His 'triumphant reserve.' I saw twenty-three freedom outposts in twenty-three states. He then showed me other outposts that needed to form in some places, and still others where the spiritual atmosphere was now not conducive to freedom. A new type of war would have to develop to regain that portion of the land. He actually showed me how prayer strategies from the last season would be of no affect in this season. Nazareth and Capernaum are good examples of this in Jesus's day. I also thought of how the Lord told the disciples, 'This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting' (Matt. 17:21)

He then showed me new calls being extended from heaven and angels bringing those calls into the earth. The intercession and travail of today are opening the gates of heaven for these calls to come to the appropriate individuals who will lead in this hour. Next, He showed me His new leadership. This was a leadership of not just the young generation but also realigned generations. It was as if David's mighty army for this hour was being chosen in a threefold generational alignment. When they aligned, their hearts became one with His, and the strength to overcome was released. God has deposited revelation and vision within you that will be called up for such a time as this." (pp. 58-61)

We have now done research on each State. Janice Swinney looked at the covenant roots of each state in America and their relationship with Israel. The Lord is raising up and realigning His people to possess a new level of glory in the earth realm to possess the harvest fields. This will be a people who are triumphant against the enemy. We will tear down, raise up, overthrow, rebuild and stand firm as we transform society for the generations to come.

Blessings,

 
Chuck D. Pierce

Dear friends,
 
We stand with Israel because the Bible commands it and our morality compels it.  Those who cannot distinguish between good and evil, and who look for easy answers to difficult threats, would rather blame little Israel for all our problems.
 
Israel is under a literal, physical attack in the Middle East.  And supporters of Israel are facing increasing criticism and intimidation here at home. 
 
This is time when all friends of Israel must stand up and be counted!  - Christians United For Israel 
  
We  would like to invite you to take part in a national prayer call for Israel every Thursday evening:
 
Time:  8pm Eastern | 7pm Central | 6pm Mountain | 5pm Pacific
 
Phone:  (760) 569-7676     |     Access Code:  989326#
 

May all of Israel be filled with the light of the glorious gospel.  
 
Bless you,
James Nesbit
