INSIGHT FOR INTERCESSORS
Kolyah
August 10, 2020
NOTE: Do not share this material with those who are not of like mind; especially those who are hostile to our faith and values. There are individuals and organizations, who would like to keep this voice from speaking and from being heard. Please use Divine discernment. Thank you so much!
Shalom!
I’m certain that many of you are shocked to hear from me again so soon, but I couldn’t wait to tell you about what the Lord has done with our plumbing challenge in our basement. After I give you that update, I will share some needs that Israeli has for immediate intercession.
First of all, I want to thank all of you for your prayers concerning this plumbing matter. I have received so many messages of encouragement and catharsis from my readers about this challenge. It appears that my husband and I are not the only people having these kinds of trials. Many of you are as well. Most certainly, we are doing something right, if so many committed believers and intercessors are being met with crazy forms of opposition. But the delightful thing in all of this is that the Lord is using our trials for His glory, and for our growth and strengthening. Whatever the Enemy is doing to bring destruction and loss is bringing Kingdom gain. YHVH is turning things around for the advancement of His purposes, and for us to have a testimony that will encourage and save others. So right now, I want to share the testimony of what happened Monday morning. Here is a rundown in short-hand form:
**Two plumbers arrived before 9 AM and went right to work.
**After jackhammering an area of 12 inches by 18 inches around the drain, the jackhammer suddenly froze up and refused to function. One plumber (S.) left to pick up another jackhammer, while the other one (B.) stayed behind.
**B who stayed, decided to start removing the material that was exposed in that small area, rather than waiting until the expected 3-foot by 6-foot area could be opened up.
**As the material was being removed, B noticed that there was NO MOISTURE or mold beyond 6 inches down. The rest was completely clean and dry.
**Meanwhile, the horrific stench that we had endured for the past 10 days was discovered as NOT being caused by the drainage stuff in the drain, but rather by a decaying mass of some actively maggot-infested rodent remains. Once that was nasty stuff was removed, there was NO MORE stench at all. ZERO!
**Then miraculously, even with only a small portion of the area for excavation exposed, the portion of the pipe that needed to be repaired was totally exposed. Before the S. was able to return with a backup jackhammer, B. discovered that the broken pipe could be effectively replaced through the space that was already opened up. The way the pipe arrangement was configured, allowed the needed area of repair to be completely accessible. Rather than wait for S., B. began to make the repair.
**The bottom line: rather than 8-9 hours needed for the repair, it took 3 hours until it was totally accomplished.
**The Lord told me that we would not need a night in the hotel, nor the rental of a HEPA air scrubber to clean the air from anything nasty that might emerge from the hole. As a result, I didn’t book either of those things. There was nothing nasty under the house to dangerously escape into the atmosphere.
**As an extra blessing, the plumber installed a flood protector, to prevent any back-up of sewage from any unforeseen event of a flood etc. in the future. We now have proactive protection against that potential attack!!
**Finally, 10 minutes before B. left, having finished the job, something incredible happened. While he was trying to figure out how to prop up the air conditioning drain pipe over the drain without touching the newly applied wet cement, I suggested a solution that worked. When he commented on how well my idea solved the problem, I told him that I had the gifting of being a “tikkun”. He asked, “What is a tikkun?” After I told him that the word is Hebrew for a “fixer, a restorer, a problem solver”, he said that he would add that term to his Hebrew word bank. As I questioned him about his Hebrew word bank, he told me that it was a new thing … that his wife had her genetic ancestry testing done recently and found out that she is 50% Ashkenazi Jewish. It was a complete surprise to her. When his wife asked her mother about this genetic revelation, she learned that her biological father was not the father that raised her. Her biological father was, in fact, Jewish. The plumber told me that his wife was now trying to sort out what it meant to be Jewish … and how she could believe in Jesus and also be Jewish. I almost laughed out loud in joy at the way the Lord set up this connection. It took a drain issue to introduce me to someone, who needed to have a new Jewish identity conflict sorted out, and to be established as a Jewish believer. HE IS SO GOOD! Even though the project took much less time and cost the insurance company much less, our deductible amount didn’t change. Still, to get to see the plan of the Lord unfold, and to have the joy of being part of it in the life of another person, made the whole thing worthwhile.
Conclusion: I know that the Lord shut down the jack hammer so that any unnecessary destruction would not take place. I know that He led me to hold back on hotel arrangements, as well as on the air safety and purification equipment, because He knew we wouldn’t need it. What originally appeared to be a serious threat, was turned around by the prayers of the saints (that’s you) and through the intervention of the Lord. There is also the lesson, regarding what we thought was the source of a terrible odor, but which turned out to be something else totally unexpected … something that would be easily dealt with, even if it was terribly disgusting. Something was hidden in the shadows; being given cover by distractions and by general assumptions and appearances. In these days, the dots may not connect at all in the natural; but they will always connect in the spiritual, if we go there with the Holy Spirit. Apply all this to our present world. We have to trust that the Lord has everything well in hand, even when a crisis seems to have the upper hand. We may not know what is happening, what is truth, and what to do, but HE DOES. The Lord will walk us through any attack or challenge. We just need to listen, trust, and keep on walking. He will not allow more destruction than what is necessary to bring forth the necessary revelations of truth that brings victory and wholeness. YHVH has ALL of His players rightly positioned, and all of His plans firmly established. He has all of the solutions waiting in the wings. Things in our world may get far more “stinky” in the coming days, than they are right now, but if we use our faith and discernment (seeing beyond the natural) … if we seek the Lord and trust Him … we will be able to make the important discoveries, and to take the right steps to overrule the plans of the Enemy. And, in the final analysis, the purposes of the Lord will be gloriously fulfilled; bringing forth deeper truth and Kingdom gain.
NOTE: For anyone, who may indict my view/interpretation of this whole plumbing scenario as “hyper-spiritualizing” normal occurrences, I would say this: Everything in life has a spiritual origin, connection, value, and connotation. Actually, the spiritual functions, and the spiritual interplays in our daily life, are far more REAL than what we are conditioned to perceive as reality in the natural world. The Lord has uniquely wired and gifted each one of His children. Some have been given the ability to see the spiritual realities, to connect the dots, and to understand the spiritual interpretations in this great parable that we call life. Some of YHVH’s kids are gifted to make sense of the “concrete” situations in life, while others are gifted to glean beyond what is perceived by the mind and natural senses. If we all generously use our gifting, and enable/encourage others to use theirs, we can put together a far more accurate picture of what life is all about, and of what YHVH is doing in any moment. Yeshua taught the people and His disciples, most often in parables … in pictures and stories connecting/interpreting the natural with the spiritual/supernatural. They seemed to “get the message” more easily through parables/illustrations that they could relate to. It would be wise for all of YHVH’s children to glean, and to learn, from the gifting and wiring, uniquely embedded in of all of YHVH’s born-again kids … especially when we don’t understand, or have the particular, specific, specialty ourselves, that someone else may carry. The Lord is making a beautiful tapestry of our lives. It truly is a beautiful piece of Divine artwork that doesn’t always require us to depart from this life in order to see it. The parables … the brilliance … the truth of the Lord operating gloriously in the details of our lives is readily available now … that is for those, who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and a humble heart open to receive whatever He brings and shares with us. Again, THANK YOU ALL for your love and prayers for me; especially in this plumbing parable/challenge. I will continue to say to the Lord, “Thank you for opening my eyes to see Your interactions and Your victories in EVERYTHING around me. Keep bringing the adventures, the parables, and the challenges, because I know You are with me in them … and will accomplish Your purposes through them.”
NOW FOR SOME CONCERNS IN REGARD TO ISRAEL:
1: CHAOS IN THE GOVERNMENT
The nation of Israel is in a state of social chaos. Left-wing protestors have repeatedly tried to break through the gates at the Prime Minister’s residence. Violent clashes from protestors against police have taken place in Jerusalem and elsewhere. In Jerusalem, and in other cities, there have been clashes between left- and right-wing factions … some of them turning violent. The left-wing protest faction is demanding the resignation of Bibi; declaring him to be a corrupt and terrible leader, who must be ousted and sent to jail. Some have suggested death threats. As in other countries, there have been some calls for the police to stand back and not get involved in the protests, so as not to use violence against the protestors. Does that sound familiar? There have also been violent black-masked groups appearing, completely dressed in black, and carrying weapons to use against the pro-government protestors. Does that sound familiar too? This Black Lives Matter and Antifa phenomenon seems to be spreading around the world … as well as the agenda of trying to tie the hands of the police. It is a sure bet that George Soros is funding these incidents to divide the people, to threaten the government leaders, and to bring as much chaos as possible into the society. Arrested protestors have confessed to being on the payroll of Soros. There have been rumors skirting about that Israel might have to go to a 4th election if the current government doesn’t sort itself out, and get something constructive done, by laying egos and political agendas aside to take care of the nation and its people. The anarchists and Marxists want as much distraction and blame against the government as possible. In the midst of the pre-planned Covid-19 crisis, the global “elite” are seeking to destroy all national sovereignty and nationalistic unity through inciting chaos, so that their New World order (comprised of centralize control over all) can come into power. The Israeli government and the Israeli people are in their crosshairs. As Israel is constantly receiving threats of attack from the north, from Iran, from Gaza and from other areas … as the government is trying to bring the crazy Covid crisis under control … as the government is trying to meet the needs of the people, while the country is in an economic freefall … the last thing the leaders need is infighting. And that includes fighting in the streets between people, fighting in the Knesset, and fighting within the government itself. We need to be praying for Israel, as well as for the USA, and for all other sovereign nations that have democratic principles. Freedom and truth are under severe attack. Shalom is being shattered throughout the world.
--Pray for a huge outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The nation needs to be washed with clear water and given a revelation of how satan is manipulating and playing them. They need to know their God, and to turn to Him.
--Pray for the Lord of the Storm to bring out-of-season rain storms to empty the streets of protests.
--Pray for the Lord to grab hold of this government and to turn it toward a wise and Godly course.
--Bind down the spirits of Anarchy, Chaos, Violence, Offense, Bitterness, Pride, Judgment, Lust, Politics, Unholy Power, Jealousy, Entitlement, Fear, Confusion and Lies.
--Pray for the involvement of outside anarchists to be exposed … and for the funding of these uprisings to be cut off.
--Pray for the Israelis to become wise and discerning. They are taking the bait of satan too often, and coming in line with his destructive plan for Israel and the Jewish people.
--Pray for the Israeli government to get smart and to see what the true priorities really are … and then to get busy.
--Pray for righteousness within the ranks of the police and security forces. Pray that they will not take political sides, and end up adding to the problem of bringing law and order.
--Pray that the police will be supported, and be able to do their job without having their hands tied.
--May the violent ring-leaders of these protests be rounded up and arrested. Pray against catch and release!
--Pray that terrorist won’t take advantage of these large protest gathers, by unleashing a suicide bombing or ramming attack, any kidnappings or stabbings, etc.
--Pray that the Lord will shut down the infighting that is weakening the nation. Bring shalom, Lord!
--Release the Spirits of Truth and Revelation, of Godly Order, of Wisdom, of Grace and Supplication, of Patience, of Discernment and of Love. End the blindness and bring sight, Lord! End the immature delusions, and bring mature understanding.
2: COVID-19
Stats as of today:
**88,151 people in Israel have tested positive for Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.
**Currently 351 people are seriously ill. Many had serious co-morbidities before getting the virus.
**639 have died since the beginning of the illness … not all who died WITH the virus died OF it.
**Just under 2 million tests have been done in Israel. 25,400 tests are awaiting the results
**62,109 people have fully recovered, after actually becoming ill from the virus
In an encouraging move, COVID-19 testing centers in in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Be'er Sheva and Haifa have been closed down, due to few people coming for testing anymore. So many asymptomatic people have been testing positive that they decided to begin marking the days, needed to be considered safe/recovered, to begin with the day of the test, rather than when the test results were reported. So few people are showing signs of illness, while yet testing positive, that it is making it difficult to figure out the exact time needed for quarantine; adding to an already very confusing situation surrounding this virus. As herd immunity forms, many people will have the illness mildly or without any demonstrated symptoms. That’s a good and natural progression against a real virus. Another issue is, if the testing is showing a massive number of false positives, that would present another big problem regarding confusion. It’s clear that this COVID threat is not what it appears to be … or at least the mitigation of it, is not what science says it should be. Israel still needs a breakthrough in truth, as does the rest of the world. FEAR NEEDS TO STOP. Facts need to be exposed. True statistics … not politicized numbers and assumed expectancies … should be what is presented to the world populations.
--Pray for the mercy of the Lord to save lives and souls in the midst of this pandemic scenario.
--Pray for herd immunity to be completed very soon.
--Pray that YHVH would completely shut down the plans of the enemy regarding COVID-19. Pray against the next wave of pathogens that are planned to be released by the elite in the next few months.
--Pray against the muzzling of the people through the requirement of wearing masks. Lord, bring the truth and the evidence regarding the effects of wearing these masks … particularly as a defense against the virus.
--PRAY FIRMLY AGAINST any rushed, untested, unproven, RNA vaccine that could possible alter human DNA; bringing massive illness and permanent disabilities into the human population.
--Pray for the Israeli government to get a divine revelation about these vaccines. Be supernaturally wise!
--Pray for the biased, left-wing media spin to be exposed, decried, and shut down.
--Pray that the unholy ties that influential Israelis might have with pharmaceutical companies, Bill Gates, George Soros, will be exposed and broken.
--Now that testing of these vaccines is being carried out on human volunteers, pray for the negative effects to be see instantly, clearly, and completely. Pray that the negative evidence will not be suppressed, hidden, or modified in compromised reports. Bring truth, Lord!
--Bind down the spirits of Mammon and Greed.
--Pray to break off all demonic oppression that is currently on the people of Israel, and replace that oppression with deep healing and deliverance.
--Release the Spirit of Shalom into all the medical facilities, into the staff, and into the hearts of the patients and their families. NO FEAR OF COVID-19! Release witty solutions to health problems.
#3: FIRES FROM INCEDIARY DEVICES
For the past 7 days, Hamas has been sending airborne incendiary devices into Israel from Gaza. Currently 20 fires are burning in Israel as a result. Gantz has cut back to half the legal fishing zones of Gaza for Palestinians as a punitive response, but it has had little effect. What’s this new blast of Hamas rage all about? The country of Qatar has decided to stop funding the Palestinian cause in Gaza, so Hamas is acting out against Israel. Jewish crops and fields, Jewish forests and Jewish properties are being destroyed by these terrorists. Here are the details reported by the forest service:
Just in the past 72 hours, 45 fires have burned in the KKL-JNF forests in the south of the country. As a result, about 850 dunams of land have been scorched. 2,000 dunams were set ablaze in Kibbutz Or HaNer near Sderot. The municipality of Netiv HaAsara, has suffered with 350 dunams being burned.
In the past 7 days, nearly 2,000 acres of forest trees and agricultural fields have been destroyed by these terrorist-initiated blazes. Blessedly no human casualties have been reported. The new Israeli defense system for eliminating small flying devices was put into service this week. It has a 90% accuracy noted in its field-testing results. Sadly, there is only one piece of this defensive equipment, and it must be close to the balloon launch site to be effective. Moving it to anticipate, or to respond to, an attack has not been very effective in defending the Land at this point. More installations must come on line.
--Pray for the Lord to send His angels to knock these floating devices of destruction back into Gaza.
--Pray for out-of-season rain to come; quenching the fires.
--Pray for protection upon the fire fighters, and pray for them to be supernaturally successful.
--Pray for protection of the people and of the communities, which are threatened by these devices, and by the subsequent blazes they ignite.
--Pray for a 7-fold restitution for the crop and forest losses suffered from this wickedness.
--Pray for the new defensive weapon against these devices to be 100% successful. Pray for many of these weapons to be produced and implanted QUICKLY.
--Pray for the Israeli forces and government to be given a witty form of effective punishment/retaliation against the use/launch of these terror attack devices. Closing the border crossings and restricting fishing rights doesn’t seem to be much of a deterrent.
#4: A HUGE CYBER ATTACK, WAS THWARTED SUCCESSFULLY! SOME OF ISRAEL’S ENEMIES TRIED TO GET INTO HER DEFENSE INDUSTRIES’/defense establishments’ COMPUTERS TO STEAL SECRET SECURITY INFORMATION.
The Israeli Defense Ministry revealed that an internationally funded (foreign state) cyberattack group, sought out employees working in the defense industries through LinkedIn. They offered the employees very attractive/lucrative job opportunities and incentives while working to hack into their computers. The hack group, known as “Lazarus” used social engineering and the impersonation of supervisors, human resources reps of international companies, etc. as ways to connect with the workers. Their goal was to install spyware on the employee computers, so that they could glean key defense information by infiltrating the company’s sensitive, secret and secure files about defense systems, etc. The plot was discovered, by the cyber defense teams of Israel, as it was taking place. In this way, the attack was totally thwarted, and nothing valuable was lost and nothing was successfully invaded. Praise the Lord!
--Praise the Lord for the amazing protection that kept Israel’s defense secrets secure. In this case of Lazarus, the body cloaked in death did not receive life.
--Bless the anti-terror cyber teams in the IDF. Increase their abilities, their wisdom, their discernment, and their new technologies, Lord!
--Pray to put up a firewall all around Israel’s digital information, secrets, systems, and resources.
--Pray that whatever nation launched this cyber hack against Israel, it will be held severely to account.
#5: HAMAS DECREES
The head of the Hamas Political arm, Ismail Haniyeh, announced that certain parties have offered the organization $15 billion in various projects to upgrade Gaza. That incentive is being offered only if Hamas will disband the military branch of its organization. Of course, Haniyeh rejected the offer out of hand. In response to the offer, he again issued his own terms, demands, and goals. Here they are:
“We will not give up the resistance, Jerusalem, our people in the West Bank, or our Right of Return to the land of Palestine."
"We will not recognize Israel. Palestine must stretch from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea, The Right of Return [must be fulfilled. The prisoners must be set free, and a fully sovereign Palestinian state must be established with Jerusalem as its capital."
Well there you go … Israel will have a permanent enemy until every member of Hamas is destroyed, at that rate.
--Praise the Lord that Hamas continues to have a hardened heart, so that Israel is not forced to make concessions to this deadly, deceitful entity.
--Pray that YHVH would forbid the formation of a Palestinian State, of any form, on the Land of inheritance for the Jewish people.
--Pray that the $15 billion will not be handed over to Hamas and Gaza for any reason … for any promise, etc.
--Pray for Israel to remain and to stretch out on her Land of inheritance.
--Pray for Jerusalem to solely be Israel’s capital city.
--As Pres. Trump is testing out, and smoking out, the real hearts and intentions of the Palestinian leaders regarding a Two State Solution, pray that he will not foolishly cross a line that would put him and America at odds with YHVH. Pray that He will know YHVH’s boundaries, plans, and solutions for Israel in this territorial conflict. Pray that Trump, Bibi (and others) will stay within YHVH’s boundaries.
--Pray to bind up all the manipulation and pressure … all the pride and arrogance … all the deception and lies about the Palestinian people, and their “right” to possess the territory of the Jews. Break it all open, Lord and cause people to see the truth, and to fear YOU in that revelation!
#6: CRISIS IN BERUIT
Probably, most of us have viewed video of the massive explosion that took place in Beirut Lebanon last week, on August 4th. The blast devastated the harbor; killing at least 157 people and injuring 5,000. The cause of the blast was 2,750 tons of improperly stored ammonium nitrate contained in warehouse 12 of the Beirut port. Lebanese officials have reported that this material was seized from a Moldovan-flagged ship 6 years ago as it was making its way to Africa. It was abandoned in the port by Russian businessman, Igor Grechushkin. Ammonium nitrate is hugely explosive and massively destructive. Last week’s explosion was heard all the way to the island nation of Cyprus. The destruction of this event stretched more than 13 miles from the blast site; leaving more than a quarter of a million people homeless. To understand how much of this chemical was ignited in Beirut last week, look at the following comparisons. The amount in this port blast was 200 times the amount of this same explosive material that was used in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing. It was 1,375 times the amount used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. To have this much unsecured material, carelessly stored in a port warehouse was outrageous. The entire Lebanese government resigned as the people of that nation rose up in violent protest against their government’s irresponsibility, for allowing this deadly material to exist in the city. The nation was already in a major financial crisis, and battling Covid demands, so this blast put the rage of the people over the top. It has been suggested that the chemical was being stored for eventual use against Israel by Hizbullah. How interesting that the angry people of Lebanon are now calling for Iran to get out of Lebanon, and for Hizbullah to be out as well. The timing of this incident may be Divine. Within the past couple of weeks, Hizbullah has been creating some military incidents at the northern border of Israel. The organization has been promising to launch a severe attack against Israel in the time of their choosing. Meanwhile, Israel is locked and loaded to meet any challenge from them. How interesting that Hizbullah now has its hands full with the rage of the Lebanese people against them due to this blast. Iran’s footing in Lebanon has just been cut off. Did the Lord use this ammonium nitrate incident to shut down some imminent or future attacks upon Israel? Very possibly! How typically Israeli that Israel is offering help and aid to the people of Lebanon in the aftermath of this disaster. Already financially strapped Israelis have been taking up collections of funds and supplies to give to their afflicted northern neighbor … a neighbor, which has had members of its government often threatening to destroy Israel … and giving sanctuary to other enemies of Israel.
NOTE: Israel does have its own supply of ammonium nitrate. However, that supply is safely kept in secure containers in small quantities, underground through the country. It is important to have this chemical available as a weapon, if necessary, but it must never be stored as the Lebanese port authority allowed it to be. All it took was the spark from a welder torch, while repairing some wiring, for this massive fireball to form. What a tough lesson to learn!
--Pray for the people of Lebanon in their suffering and losses.
--Praise the Lord that none of this ammonium nitrate was used against Israel.
--Pray for the people of Lebanon to connect the dots of their decline with the presence and power of Hizbullah/Iran in their country/government.
--Pray for Hizbullah and Iran to truly be ejected from the nation of Lebanon.
--Pray for new, faithful, strong, ties to be formed with Israel against Iran, etc.
--Pray for the weapons and warehouses of Iran and Hizbullah to be seized by wise and righteous leaders in a new Lebanese government.
--Pray for that new government to be formed by the hand and the plan of the Lord.
--Pray for the Christian Lebanese to now arise in strength, and in influence, to help restore this broken nation. Pray for them to reject all replacement theology.
--Pray that those, who rise to power will have a respect for Israel and a longing for peace with her.
--Praise YHVH that Israel has safely/wisely stored her supply of this explosive chemical. May it remain safe.
I think I will stop right here, and prepare to send this writing to your inbox. There are so many more needs to lift up, and so many more issues that need prayer in each of our home nations. I recommend praying in the Holy Spirit continually. YHVH knows exactly what problems need to be addressed, and how to go about dealing with them best. The more we stay in the Spirit, the stronger we are against the lies, the fear, and the confusion that are consuming our world. I have reviewed this text several times to search out any typos, but that doesn’t mean a few might have slipped past. Please forgive them and correct them, before you share the text with anyone, if you come across any. As always, thank you for your love, your encouragement, your prayers, and your support. Together we make a good team for the Kingdom!
Be blessed and safe!
