(On Shabbat, Oct. 27, 2012, an estimated 1,500 Messianic Jews, Arab Christians, and Gentile Believers gathered in Lavi Forest in the Western Galilee. We cried out to God for nearly five hours! The focuses of our prayers were mainly Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the continuing rocket bombardment of Israel’s southern cities, and the upcoming elections in Israel and the United States of America. The event was organized by pastors in the Galilee. Below, I share my thoughts and observations about this meeting. I believe you will find many prayer points in this article. I have compiled a list at the end of the message.)

Of the pastors who presented their thoughts on this meeting, the first one to give a message was from a local congregation. I felt his was the most passionate.   He is in the Reserves in Israel and holds a position that is privy to information we would never hear about.
 
Pastors did come and bring their flocks from as far away as Beersheva, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.  The weather forecast called for rain, and in the forest there are only plain paths. We came with our umbrellas, and we bundled up preparing for cold.  It was a lovely, warm day.
 
* Summary of what the first pastor presented:
 
He called our present state…an emergency.
 
Look at Joel 2:1-2 
 
“Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the Lord is coming, for it is at hand: a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains, a people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; nor will there ever be any such after them, even for many successive generations.”
 
People do not realize the hour in which we live.
 
Iran has said: we will avenge …we will have revenge on Israel.
 
God is looking at us to intercede….wake up….we need to wake up!
 
America’s President is a Muslim.
 
We are standing alone; we have a part to be in the end times….look at Ezekiel 20:33.
 
“As I live, says the Lord, surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you.”
 
We have idols of materialism; industry - we want to be like other nations, comparing ourselves to others; everything is acceptable.  In Europe…we see the first country Islam will take over is Belgium.
 
(Years ago I heard London will be the first Islamic city, and then France will be the first nation to completely yield to Islam.) Terri’s quote.
 

He mentioned the abortion rate in Germany as being extremely high.  (A DVD has been circulating called, “180.” Watch this and see how uneducated college students are about the issue of abortion.) Terri’s quote
 

“So rend your heart, not your garments; return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness; and He relents from doing harm. Joel 2:13
 
* Notes from the second pastor who spoke:
 
We must repent first of our own selves then we can pray for the nations.   There was given time for this….there was a feeling of awe throughout the atmosphere when this word was given.
 
The fear of God must come upon us.  We have to reveal His glory to those in our lives.  The deeper our own repentance is, the more we can ask for mercy.  Our repentance is so simple.  God really wants us to repent…our prayers can influence the things in this land that we are lacking.   We must get into the Holy of Holies like Moses…like Daniel….go to God as the priests of the land and we need to hear His voice.
 
How are we living our lives? Live in the spirit of repentance.   Great promises from God we have yet to see.  
 
* We then gathered into small groups to pray after each pastor had given us what topics we could pray about.
 
These were the topics….leaders of our government, people in our lives and their salvation, Iran and the Israeli army.
 
We prayed Daniel 9:3, 4, l5 “Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplication, and  with fasting, sackcloth and ashes.” “I prayed to the Lord my God, and made confession, and said, O Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments.”  “And now, oh Lord, our God, who brought  Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made Yourself a name, as it is this day-we have sinned, we have done wickedly!”
 
The trumpets were blown.
 
* My comments on the day:
 
Most of day was spent truly in prayer…listening and praying as the subjects were presented.   We were so glad we went. It is an awesome feeling to be surrounded by those of like mindedness and those who came specifically to pray for this nation.   It is awesome in scope.  We were given a message, we must challenge our people; time is short.   God will open doors for us to find the lost and the hungry…we must be willing.  He will make the way for us.
 
For me personally, the word “water” came to me by revelation and by a dream a brother in the Lord in our congregation had.   So we intend to stock ourselves with water for our congregation and for ourselves.
 
After living here for 29 years, I have come to a place in my life, where I realize that this country does not present warnings to us, without sufficient evidence that there is something to be concerned about.
 
In all of the years we have lived here, we have never attended a prayer meeting such as what we had in Lavi Forest.   When we meet there yearly, it is to fellowship with other believers in the north and mostly to mix in with Arab and Jewish believers.  
 
May those who read this ….prayerfully seek the Lord as to how they may enter into this time of prayer for the nation of Israel.
 
In His love,

Terri Morey
