Arrows Feb 6 2026 Restoring What the Locust has Eaten

Donna Diorio Feb 1, 2026: My direction with Israelprayer all came into focus today. I cannot tell you how much pressure that takes off of me. Great relief from not knowing the way forward for a little over 3 months now. The wait is over and the weight is lifted! Now I have my plan to forward in the part of advancing the kingdom that I'm assigned to. The fog cleared and within minutes I knew exactly what I was going to do.

So pleased to know how I am to proceed with — old ways and new ways of communicating to the Church what it really needs to know about Israel. Just about the only message most Christians have gotten about Israel is awareness that God loves Israel and Christians should be good to Israel. But what God is doing is building a body of believers in Israel for the ingathering of ALL Israel by faith in Yeshua (Jesus).

The time has come for MORE Christians to realize that this is not just about supporting Israel in international politics. That is important, but it is the salvation of Israel that is now coming into full play. The Gospel message, the discipling of believers, the building up of a vibrant body of believers in Israel is going to come through the body of believers already ministering in Israel, not outside evangelists coming to town, or Christian ministries devoting all their time and energy in Israel on everything EXCEPT the body of the Lord in Israel!

Now is the time to Awake & Arise to what God is doing and why Christians will benefit too. This spiritual harvest is already coming in and it is not only important to the Jews, it is important to ALL of us in the body of Christ. The mystery Paul wrote about is being revealed. Feb 2, 2026: "I will restore to you the years the locust has eaten." - Joel 2:25 | Someone else posted this verse with a beautiful graphic background and I loved it because of the vivid favorite colors, but mostly I loved it because this verse came to mind this morning. Immediately I wondered how could God do this for me? And just as immediately the Holy Spirit reminded me of many years-old writings that I have run across in the past week.

Those writings were seen by very few people. From the first year of my return to faith in 1983 I have written about what God was showing me. I had no outlet for others to read, so I wrote for myself not worrying about publishing what I wrote. Later I discovered the beginning stages of the internet. Before social media there was written exchanges on what was known as Bulletin Boards. I did a lot of writing there. Between that and social media, I have probably lost more of my writings than I saved to my document files. Water under the bridge.

I still have so much writing squirreled away in document files it hardly matters. And as I read them today, some things that I saw through the glass darkly in 2004 have become glaringly obvious to me in 2026. I had considered all those writings and biblical studies dead and buried in my files. They might as well have been eaten by locust because I never thought I would be worthwhile to resurrect them! But as I have read some, I see they are still useful to speak to people today.

It is clear to me that I will be resurrecting old writings that still speak, or ever that help clarify what is going on today. I have already decided to develop a couple of new platforms specifically for my writings. The chief goal is to reach Christians who haven't been interested in the past. I have one message but it can target different audiences. The writings will target mostly those Christians who haven't been interested in the past. I believe the time is coming that they are going to finally be able to hear. And for some others, the message will expand their view of what it means to support Israel's spiritual restoration.

Why the Church and the Israeli Messianic Jews are coming together like never before. It's because it is in God's vision and timing ... and the clock is ticking. Are you still standing on the outside of that?

Dugit Outreach Ministries Avi Mizrachi sent such a touching testimony from his daughter D’Vora about protecting her children during the Hamas attack – I had to post it on my Facebook page in order to share it with you. Really you must read this and understand that believer mothers all over Israel have similar testimonies. It is the reason why the upcoming Israeli Women’s conference called Bat Zion — the Daughter of Zion that the Mizrachi’s sponsor is so important. Chaya Mizrachi and Norma Sarvis have led these conferences for the past 9 years and the believer women in Israel get so much out of this rare time of refreshing and retreat. Avi writes, “This year’s conference is just weeks awayand we need your help. Because we want as many women as possible to come, we keep the cost as low as possible for them…. Please don’t wait. Your support today will bring comfort, strength, and healing to women in Israel who need it now. Be blessed in the name of Yeshua, Avi & Chaya Mizrachi

Israel, the USA and Iran By David Silver, Out of Zion | How to pray? I believe we should pray that the LORD’s will for Iran be fulfilled and pray for protection over the good people of Iran and that Yeshua will reveal Himself to millions more Iranian Muslims. We also need to pray protection over Israel’s civilians, infrastructure, and military, especially the Air Force pilots if they become involved, and for wisdom for President Trump and protection over US military assets and personnel if the decision is made to attack Iran.

Avner Boskey of David’s Tent gets to the biblical bottom line about world leaders who think they can make the call on what happens on the land God gave Israel (Joshua 15:20, 47). “The territory of Gaza is part of the Promised Land which God bequeathed to the Jewish people for eternity. It is part of the irrevocable gifts and calling of Israel, according to Romans 11:28-29. Whether the real estate is located in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria or Gaza, none of it has been handed over by YHVH to any other nation to own or manage. No other country. . .” [not even] “ the United States of America – no one can step in to claim that the God of Jacob has given them the right to oversee Gaza or determine its fate. Unfortunately, what is currently happening as POTUS Trump’s 20-point plan (the ‘Board of Peace’) gets off the ground, flies in the face of God’s biblically-expressed intentions.”

Revive Israel’s Youval Yanay “had the privilege of teaching at a special gathering called Founders of the Body of Messiah in Israel, a conference made up of those who were among the very first pioneers of the Messianic movement in this land. These are men and women who helped lay the foundations of faith here in Israel, often at great personal cost, and it was deeply moving to honor their journey, listen to their testimonies, and share together across generations.  At the same time, we are witnessing a significant and sensitive moment of growth. As young men and women begin to register for our discipleship program, we are keenly aware that this is more than a program; it is a place of refuge, formation, and restoration…. We believe discipleship is foundational for the future of the Body in Israel, raising up a generation that knows how to hear God’s voice and walk faithfully in obedience.

Rania Sayegh of the House of Prayer & Exploits in Nazareth “is introducing a new email series called The Watchman’s Journal, created to help you watch and pray with discernment as events unfold in Israel and the surrounding region. Each edition will offer a focused look at what’s happening on the ground, strategic prayer points, biblical and prophetic insight, and practical guidance on how to be proactive in prayer.  The January focus is PERSIA. Read the full Vision: The Fist of God. This builds upon previous revelation in The Eagles & Iran and The Octopus Strategy

In Tiberias, the Morning Star Fellowship led by Claude & Michelle Ezagouri write about their great children’s camp, a midweek children’s group where the children led by some teenagers spend some time together to pray and worship corporately, their women’s retreat and men looking forward to their own time together in March. Also a member of their fellowship is having great success in spreading the good news via a Hebrew website for Orthodox Jews. Many are searching for answers and the truth.
     Prayer Requests for: couples with marriage problems, a talented media expert in their fellowship who needs work: Alexander Shishkin — filmmaker, director and photographer. View his projects here. Also: “Please pray for the Arabs in the land. They are falling victims of mafia racketeering. Murders happen on a weekly basis, and Arab pastors asked us for our prayers.

Fields of Wheat director Joel Jelski writes about the Passover youth camp March 25-29…He has been called up to return to duty Mar 22nd and others on the leadership team also have schedule conflicts – one out of the country, one a family wedding. Joel asks prayers for: Favor with my commanders regarding my ability to be home during the camp | Solutions to cover leadership gaps (especially in case I am unable to attend)| A strong team of volunteers and counselors to step in and help | Funding: our current goal is to raise $118,000 to support our camps and team salaries. To date, we have raised $23,938 (20%) of our goal! Donation | The name the Lord placed on our hearts for this camp is “The Source of Life” (Makor Chaim). . . . developing the discipline of meditating on God’s Word is increasingly challenging.   

Yeshua’s Inheritance pastor Howard Bass writes about the last hostage in Gaza Ran Gvili whose body was held hostage from Oct 7 when he was the first Israeli to respond to the terror scene rushing heroically to help despite a shoulder injury he was waiting for surgery on. There are no more Israelis being held dead or alive in Gaza, a point Howard really brought home well.
     Howard and Randi were guests at the Founders Retreat written about earlier in the Revive Israel report, a gathering for 4 days & 3 nights. Howard’s 76th birthday was on day 1 and Randi brought a cake as they all sang over Howard. He writes, “It was a very worthwhile and fun event, and we were able to see some old friends that we don't get to very often.  We even met some new brothers and sisters, and also those whom we had heard about but never actually met before.”
     Lastly he writes that the Nachalat Yeshua congregation shas grown significantly over the last 2-3 years “we are needing to learn as elders and deacons how to better tend to the needs of the flock, both spiritually and materially.” In part the inspiration for “a teaching that I gave to encourage each of us to want to be part of the Father's answer to the prayer of His Son and our Lord, a prayer which will be answered for the supernatural unity that is in and of God in Christ/Messiah”

Sally Shiff of the HaMaayan congregation also noted “For the first time since 2014, Israel has no hostages in Gaza. The yellow ribbons were removed from all over the land and no longer are the cars showing pictures of those captured by Hamas. It's a new day here where all of us affected …. can now begin to "walk" out their healing instead of being "frozen" on October 7, 2023. Finding Ran is especially healing for our soldiers whose main purpose was to seek and save those who were stolen on that horrible day. In total, 923 soldiers and 70 police officers gave the highest price,  their lives defending our nation and people.
     Our prayer is that God will comfort those who mourn, as well as the soldiers who watched their comrades killed. PTSD is huge after a war.  Thirty-six soldiers committed suicide, with a total of 279 attempts.

Jennifer Guetta of Plant Hope Israel sent out a focus on supernatural dreams about what is happening in Iran. She wrote, “. We love the Persian people, and God has often brought us together with them over the past ten years.We are praying with them for God to intervene in this crisis.”
Then in supernatural dreams she wrote,Last Sabbath, I also had a dream. In the middle of the night, I heard the Lord say: "I will break the bow of Elam! They will no longer kill my children. There will be 3 days of all-out war, but I will have the victory." She sees “Elam” as representing the regime, not the Persian people; and the 3 days of war acknowledging in God’s view it could be 3 24-hour days or even years, months or weeks, but that she is praying it will be a quick war, with victory for God, and that the people of Iran will be set free, and His promises will come true.” (Write for more information)

 Rachel Netanel, Beit HaNetanel, The House God Gave” writes of several visits they have had over the last months, one from the American Mohawk and Cree First Nations tribes was especially enjoyed by all. They were recommended to come visit Rachel and Gilad by a Tiberias pastor, did and were so pleased they had a gathering there of 80 Israelis. The indigenous tribes danced and gave their testimonies to the guests, telling them they know Israelis are indigenous to Israel as they are to America. Many hearts were touched by the meeting and the tribes even gave gold rings on which were written “Your God is my God.” Many more tears began to flow.
     Now Rachel and Gilad were also guests at the Founders retreat at Yad Hashmona and she gave her testimony on the last day. As she was handing off the mic to another to speak, she tripped over the cord, fell on her shoulder and head. Body and face bruised, and a broken shoulder was the result. A trip to the hospital, now recovering at home with husband Gilad attending to her needs. Pray for a quick recovery for Rachel and for overall health. This is a super effective ministry to native Israelis. If you write, please know that they do not speak English – It’s Hebrew only.
