Arrows
from Zion
Summarized from the Weekly Summary of Prayer
Requests Israeli Ministries
Reuven Doron begins this week with an important message to us all and that is
to “cultivate hearts capable of the ‘hearing of the words of the Lord” which
he explains further in “Hebraic thought HEARING means not merely to listen, but
to OBEY.” Reuven notes that Yeshua said, “My
sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” If we are
listening only, we are not following.
I greatly value all of Reuven’s
ministry letters, partly because he was the first Messianic minister that wrote
on subjects related to Israel back in 1990-91 that tracked with the things I
was concluding from my own private Bible studies. Of course, an Israeli
Messianic living in the US, even so I had a lot new understanding to pick up
from him. I find that Reuven is writing as strong and anointed as he ever did.
If you would like to read his full letter it is published on his Facebook page OneNewManCall, but I would also highly recommend contacting him
directly to subscribe to his insightful teaching via email. In this past week he goes on to discuss many
current issues surrounding the miraculous deflection of Iran’s attack, and
other subjects in “What Was It All About?” and, “Now What?”
Avner Boskey, at David’s Tent, is also an exceptional researcher & writer with prophetic insight on the subjects of Israel. Here is a 3-Part (maybe 4 part) Avner is calling Shootout at the Orient Bazaar Part One deals with Iranian background, strategic planning militarily and diplomatically, and unsettling historical parallels going back to 2020. Part Two will delve into battle details. IAF drones attacked a radar base in Isfahan, Iran (75 miles/120 km south of Nantaz, Iran’s main nuclear site; and 274 miles/442 km. south of Tehran). Part Three will present what American and Israeli strategic perspectives on the situation, and what their realpolitik goals are for the future.
Yet another exceptional prophetic voice in Israel, who I know daily pours over the Word of God intensely and it shows in how God reveals so much to him, Asher Intrater leads the Tikkun Global network of congregations in Israel, with affiliated congregations in the USA and like-minded churches in the nations. Asher’s Instagram reel is Passover: Past, Present, Future. From the Tikkun weekly teaching Ariel Blumenthal teaches on Yeshua is the Lamb of God! Leon Mazin of the Return to Zion Haifa congregation writes Music Makes the Heart Sing. Lastly this book by Daniel C Juster Th.D Passover:The Key that Unlocks the Book of Revelation.
Youval Yanay for well over a year has fully assumed the responsibilities as Director of Revive Israel, a separate entity, but still affiliated with Tikkun Global. The focus for Revive Israel now is in developing the local community as they operate a farm where they not only sell product at their weekly market, but also use the farm labors as a place for discipling many who come to volunteer and learn from the devoted Revive team. They minister by example and teaching to both the believers in Israel and those who have not yet come to the knowledge of Yeshua. This week Tal Haroni and Valerie Yanay have co-labored in writing Nothing but the Blood about how their community dealt with the Iranian attack on Israel that everyone knew was coming.
Israel Pochtar, pastor at Beit Hallel, is an evangelist at heart and it shows in the many Voice of Judah outreaches he does to bring the Good News to large crowds of non-believer Jews in various places like Jerusalem, the Galilee and even nearby Beer Sheva. In this issue watch his VIDEO Yeshua—Our Passover Once and For All! | See this report on his recent Galilee Evangelism: A Message of Hope for Passover |and watch the VIDEO of the Passover Humanitarian Outreach: Dignifying the Vulnerable | Lastly is the testimony of a Ukrainian couple who immigrated to Israel Svetlana & Dima’s Story
Gil & Tamar Afrait lead the Tel Aviv Tiferet Yeshua congregation, a Hebrew
speaking congregation (in order to attract more Hebrew-only speaking people to
the congregation. We need to understand that there is a certain lack of
credibility among many Israelis to spiritual teaching that is not spoken to
them in Hebrew. This is one of the congregations that does not provide
translations, so those that go there are understood to be authentic, Hebrew
speaking Israelis too.) Tamar writes the introduction this time speaking of how
this Passover is for many, one that is marked by loss: “In a
way, it seems God is using this moment to usher us into a deeper understanding
of the Passover.”
She
writes also, “In the past several weeks, two women here at Tiferet Yeshua, who
are also anointed worshippers and teachers, shared amazing articles with me
that they had written. They remind me of some special women who faithfully
followed Yeshua two thousand years ago. Right before Passover, Mary of
Bethany poured out a flask of very expensive perfume on Yeshua’s head (probably
her own dowry) to anoint Him before His burial (Matt.26:12) – an extravagant
act of worship. A group of mothers and sisters who stayed close by when Yeshua
endured the cross were also the first ones at His grave on that fateful
Passover morning two-thousand years ago. The first ones to see His beautiful
face again.”

Access into the Presence of God and Your
Presence is All I Want by Shlomit Goldman
David Silver of Out of Zion
ministries writes also of Celebrating
Passover in the Shadow of a Massacre and War. Citing Leviticus
23:4-7 David writes, “At the beginning of the 1st
month of the year, Nisan, YHVH gave Moses specific instructions to prepare
the people for deliverance from their suffering. They were to take a
spotless lamb on the 10th day of Nisan, inspect it for perfection for 4 days,
and just before sunset on the 14th of Nisan they were to kill the lamb, roast
and eat the flesh, and place the blood on the door posts of their dwellings.
Later that evening YHVH came down and killed the first born sons and first born
animals in all of Egypt, including the son of the Pharaoh, which caused him to
finally set the Israelites free to leave Egypt and begin their journey to the
Promised Land, which the next generation finally entered 40 years later, and we
have been celebrating Passover ever since.”
He continues, “It is very important
that we do not let the current circumstances that Israel is faced with prevent
us from celebrating the event that set the Israelites free from slavery in
Egypt, and that GOD instructed us to remember each year. Please pray that many Jewish people will have a revelation that
the 3 sheets of unleavened bread in the center of the table, called the
"Unity", represents the Father, Yeshua and the Holy Spirit, and
that the middle piece which is broken and half of it wrapped in a cloth and
hidden, represents the Messiah. It is called the Afikomen, a Greek word
which means "I have come" (past tense).

“During
Passover we remember how He has delivered us! …. The Children of Israel were
delivered from Egypt…. And just this past weekend, we were delivered from a
horrifying attack from Iran…. We are praising God for His deliverance! And we
are still looking to whom for His deliverance! As Israel strategizes on
what the best response should be, the battle still continues in Gaza and along
the Northern border. Also many of our loved ones are still held captive by
Hamas and we are praying for their deliverance! Please God! Thank you for your many prayers, support, and
kind messages in these difficult days. | To see the many outreaches the ARC
leads each week, sign up for their emails directly.
Michael Beener and wife Dina lead the City of Life
congregation in the years long shell-shocked city of Sderot, so close to Gaza
that Hamas named the city, City of the Dead. Michael & Dina were so moved
with compassion for the poor, the elderly, the new immigrants, those will no
ability to live elsewhere in Israel, that is where they decided to do their
congregation and humanitarian outreach. In some places humanitarian outreach is
considered doing good works instead of the Gospel, but with poverty levels so high
in so many places of Israel, unless you care enough to help people, you really
cannot get through with any message of salvation. Don’t think otherwise! Even as the pastor and his team were planning
for the Passover outreach, they were especially moved by the predicament of the
Sderot population as Families Return to Ruined Houses.

Benjamin Juster writes about growing up in Messianic
movement of the 1970’s & 80’s when “Many of our Messianic Jewish congregations were planted out of
this powerful movement of revival.” He writes about in 1974 when “Reverend
Billy Graham and about 2300 other pastors gathered in Lausanne, Switzerland. The
purpose of the gathering was corporate repentance and prayer because the church
had stagnated in its mission of world evangelization.” …. We are now 50 years from that momentous
gathering. My growing sense is that there is something very significant about
this milestone, and that we are approaching a new season of God’s empowerment
for the body of believers for another wave of evangelization. This
coming September, they will host L4 in Incheon, South Korea. It is the
Fourth International Congress drawing together missions organizations, church
and business leaders, and other influential ministries. to advance the
Movement’s fourfold vision — “the gospel for every person, disciple-making
churches for every people and place, Christ-like leaders for every church and
sector, and kingdom impact in every sphere of society. God has put on my heart to participate in this gathering along with
several thousand leaders from the nations to pray and to learn and to seek God. I will be joining a limited number of
Messianic Jewish leaders to represent the wider Jewish community and to present the ongoing mandate for sharing
the besorah (good news) with the Jewish people. My sense is that this is a
prophetic moment, and that I will receive an impartation that will also
extend to our network of Tikkun America congregations and ministries. Would you
help my wife and I with our travel expenses? The flights, hotel,
food, and registration will be about $8000. (Indicate Travel Expenses &

Israel’s Jennifer Guetta has a “prophetic word for Israel, teachings about Passover
and calling for prayer.” She writes, “Listen to & Watch my Passover
message this year” and shares a word
she received from the Lord, "It is finished. I paid the price for peace.
For I have defeated the darkness and trampled on the enemy. Death itself was
overcome. It was the greatest victory ever. BUT THERE WAS A PRICE FOR PEACE. I
laid down my life for you. My peace is everlasting because the ultimate enemy
was defeated. I will bring more peace, as many come to know me. My child, LET
MY PEOPLE KNOW... I AM THE PRINCE OF PEACE, because I defeated the enemy. My
Glory and Kingship is forever. Come into my peace, let my people walk in it.
They are continually attacked by the enemy that comes back in every generation.
But there is a way to bring peace. Messiah conquered the enemy by defeating
death and the stronghold of darkness. There is no peace if the enemy comes back
every time. True Spiritual peace has to be made first in each person. I am
bringing that peace to their souls. I am the resurrection and the life. He that
believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth
and believeth shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:26)
As the Lord said to me in a dream
in 2015: “Come my children come, Follow me through the Red Sea, Come and I
will lead you, through the greatest exodus ever, and I will set you free.” (See
my book Awestruck by Glory pg. 206)
ON 4/25 Jennifer posted this to
her Facebook page: Dream on Passover: War | On the evening of
Passover I went to bed very late. When I finally closed my eyes around 1am I
had a vision. I saw huge wooden wheel. It was the size of a ferris wheel with
double sides and made of ancient old wood.
It rose out of the earth and started turning. Then I heard the Lord
say: “It is the beginning of war.” And I also heard the Lord say: “When
the winds change” and he showed me that the heatwave - hot wind - (hamsin),
the eastern wind coming into Israel this week on Passover is NOT coincidence.
That it relates to the spiritual wind of change coming in and war will start
after.
Then the
next morning I had another dream and saw a big plane on fire coming towards us.
We were scared it would hit us, but then it landed behind us, over a hill.
Strange thing was we didn’t see anything about it on the news. Then last night
(17th of Nisan) I heard the Lord say in a dream: “AFTER THE PERILS OF WAR…
Psalm 103” In the morning I looked it up and Psalm 103 is all about
healing. The Lord will heal the Land after the perils of war. | I have not added anything to this dream. The
interpretation and meaning I will leave open for testing, and for the Lord to
confirm. Feel free to share with trusted friends. From now on, if the Lord
gives me more words about this, I will post it only on my telegram channel, so
please subscribe there! https://t.me/jenniferguetta
The Tree of Life Ministries, Ariel & Shayla Hyde write: Urgent: Biggest Censorship Issue We’ve Faced in the
Battle to Spread God’s Word | Often we’ve had battles with Big Tech trying
to censor our evangelistic and pro-life videos and ads. And we’re so grateful
for your prayers over and over, and for God’s breakthroughs over and over! But
this time, it's reached a whole new level. Meta (Facebook and Instagram) has
completely shut down our entire ad account, meaning we can't run any
evangelistic, pro-life, or ministry testimony ads in any languages on their
platforms! They called this a final decision, but we’re seeking a way to appeal
it. We really need a miracle. PRAY For the evangelistic and pro-life ads
– that the Lord of the Breakthrough would pull down every stronghold of the
enemy hindering His Word from going forth, and that there would be great fruit
of salvation and new life!
Donna: We are woefully ill-equipped to deal with the various
types of technical shenanigans that can be used against us to limit our
communications, techie ways that go under the radar for most of us. I have been
dealing with this for years, without being taken seriously for the interference
and censorship but it is affecting others now and we still have not come up
with any solutions to deal with it. At least 4 other Israeli Messianic
ministries have recently mentioned issues getting out their ministry
emails, or receiving all their emails, or other censorship issues. Please
make this a serious prayer point. Ask yourself what could you do if you
could not get your ministry letters delivered to your mailing list, or if you
were banned from placing your materials on many platforms.
Personal evangelism is a major way Israeli believers
reach the people in their circles of influence. Some of those who practice this
as a way of life are real examples to us all. Ronit Bender is one
of those people and she takes every opportunity to show the love of Yeshua to
everyone who crosses her path – whether, Jew, Arab, international. Her key is
listening to the LORD’s instructions as she meets people. Many times it is in
showing them some kindness in giving – whatever God tells her, Ronit has
learned to give it willingly. I can only imagine how many people will be in
Heaven because of how Ronit sincerely befriended and loved them into the
kingdom of Yeshua. She gives many testimonies each month of the people she
walks with as she is leading them closer and closer to Yeshua. It is too much
to share here, but if you have ever wanted to lead more people to the LORD, I
would suggest subscribing to Ronit’s monthly email. Her ways are simple and it
just boils down to listening and obeying what she hears and doing it all with
sincerity and authentic love.
She also asks prayers for her friend and
her pastor’s mother (at Kerem-El ),
Vanessa, who suffered a stroke and is in hospital. See more in the Urgent
Healing section below.
Sally Shiff is currently touring in the U.S. | We just released our most current newsletter from Hamaayan. If you are not subscribed, please use this link so you can start receiving our monthly newsletters. | Sally writes, “When I was in my final stages of moving to Israel almost 18 years ago, I had to visit the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles. It is situated near a predominately Jewish neighborhood. I will never forget that as I came near, a boding feeling came over me and I said to my friend "this place (meaning not just the neighborhood, but the entire United States) will be worse off for the Jews than Israel." For the past 4 years as I have traveled from congregation to congregation, my message from the Lord became darker and darker, warning of an impending doom (Amos, Joel, Habakkuk). It was so against my personal nature to warn like this, but had to speak what God was saying. Now look at the world we live in! This video is about what is happening here in the United States! Today! On our college campuses! It is no longer just us Israelis that are on the front line, it is YOU. I wish I could tell you that all is well, and the war that we are fighting will never effect you, to just pray for us, but visiting in rural Illinois where it is quiet and peaceful, I wake up to the news that is happening at Columbia university and other "higher learning" institutions. Learn from us in Israel and realize that unless we seek God in intercessory prayer, the days will become darker and darker.
Ron Cantor of ShelanuTV
writes earlier this month about Tucker Carlson’s Shocking Interview
with Palestinian Propaganda Pastor Munther Isaac, a Palestinian Lutheran Pastor known for his
critical stance on Israel. The interview, he writes, “has garnered over 10
million views, 57,000 likes, and 20,000 reposts.” Isaac never has a critical
word for the terrorists in Gaza or under the Palestinian Authority control.
Both have so threatened and abused Christian Arabs they have practically
emptied out all Christian Arabs from the territories they controlled. Cantor
notes fears in the US that Tucker Carlson is “fueling Antisemitism” even
furthering his isolationist position against the US helping Ukraine by
suggesting that Ukraine is leading a war against Christians and that “Jewish
President Zelensky persecuting Ukrainian Christians.” As Ron rightly says, that is an “absurd
narrative” refuted by Ukrainian Christians and that either “Tucker Carlson
is either misinformed or intentionally misleading.”
From my (Donna) view Tucker Carlson
is a deeply deceived individual spiritually. I refused to watch him any longer
in 2020 because he was disturbingly off to me.
