Women of Honor and Power

It's time for the Women of Zion to arise to the Call of Walking in honor and Power of the Holy Ghost. There is a New Breed of Daughters rising on the front line. Vessels of holiness, power, glory and honor, fortified by the Living Word of our Lord and Savior, pliable in the hand of God the Holy Ghost, daughters ready for Wat with Sword in hand, walking in humility and not ashamed of their Father who loves them with a tender Love. They are arising with the favor of Ester, the faithfulness of Ruth, the strength and wisdom of Deborah, and the servant hood of Dorcas. Their banner over them is "I AM WALKING IN THE LIGHT" and His Banner over me is "LOVE AND FREEDOM." Therefore I can walk in His Power and Authority with Victory over my enemy. Her heart's cry is, "Here is your handmaiden Lord." I will serve you till I do for my goal is heaven; to see my Savior's face, to render souls before him in the glorious place, where weeping and sorrow has eternally ceased. So come forth Daughters of Zion, Daughters of Victory and Power and Honor, for the hour has come for the unveiling of the Father's heart. Don't lose hope for their is hope in him, Jesus the Savior who has come and set us free. The tears and prayers of the intercessors are being birthed this very hour. Don't lose hope for your sons and daughters. Continue to believe for that husband, for God is faithful and full of Power. His arm is not too short that he can't box with the most sinful of these and bring them repenting on their knees, to the loving Savior, who has open arms to receive. So Arise Women of Honor! So been Redeemed, knowing that your Present makes sense and that your Future in Him, Christ Jesus, is secure. Be done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talk, and dwarfed goals. Don't negotiate at the table of the enemy, for your Father has prepared a Place of Victory. So Arise!

From your Loving Savior and mine,
Jesus Christ

Temple Mount


The Temple Mount throughout history

King David bought this land which was a threshing floor and put an alter here. His son, Solomon, built the first temple on this rise in the 10th century B.C. The Babylonians destroyed the first temple in 597 B.C. some 70 years later, after the Jewish people returned from exile in Babylon, the temple was rebuilt. This temple was standing during Jesus' time, and was destoryed by the Romans in 70 A.D. to obliterate any Jewish presence on the Temple Mount the Romans built a temple to Jupiter on this site. Later this temple was transformed into a Christian Church. With the Muslim conquest, evidence of Christianity was wiped from the Mount and the Dome of the Rock was erected in 691 A.D. In 1948, Israel once again became a nation, yet it wasn't until the Six Day War in 1967 that Israeil gained control of Jerusalem. On the thrid day (June 7) of the Six Day War, the nation of Israel won control of the Temple Mount. However, 10 days later, the administrative control of the Temple Mount was made the sole responsibility of the Supreme Muslim Coucil (the Waqf).

Focus: Temple Mount

The Temple Mount is identified in both Jewish and Islamic tradition as the area of Mount Moriah where Abraham offered up his son in sacrifice (Gen. 22:1-18; the Koran, Sura Al-Saffat 37:102-110). Muslims claim this son was Ishamael, not Issac.

It is the site of Solomon's Temple and the temple which stood during Jesus' time. It was here that the Jewish people gathered together three times each year to fulfill the commandment to observe the Lord's feasts (Deut. 16:16).

The Temple Mount is the most controversial and contested piece of real estaste on earth.
  • The antichrist will sit in the third temple built on this sire, proclaim himself God and demand to be worshipped (2Thes. 2:4).
  • Jesus will enter the East gate on the Temple Mount upon His return (Ezek. 43:1-4; 44:1-3).
  • Jesus will judge the nations at this site as God's appointed King (Ps. 2:6-9; Is. 2:34).
  • This is the exact place where the soles of Jesus' feet will stand, where He will rule and reign, and be the eternal God to His chosen people-Israel (Ezek. 43:7a; see also Joel 3:17).
Temple Mount Prophetic Promises

In the last days the mountain of the Lord's house will be established as the most important mountain...and all the nations will stream there. Many peoples will go and say, "Come let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob!"....For out of Zion will go forth the law, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples (Is. 2:2,4).

"I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in the house of prayer......for My house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples." (Is. 56:7)

"The Lord says, 'I am returing to Zion and I will live in Jersusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called Truth City, the Lord's Mountain, the Mountain of the Holy One.'" (Zech 8:3)

The Temple Mount Today
  • Today, two building stand on the Temply Mount; the Dome of the Rock which stands on or near the approximate site of Solomon's temple, and the al-Aqsa Mosque which is at the south end of the Temple Mount platform.
  • The entire platform is 37.5 acres and considered a huge outdoor mosque, sacred to Islam and on Friday mornings thousands of Muslim men gather to pray.
  • The Dome of the Rock is a shrine and not a mosque, and is the third holiest place in Islam.
  • One of the inscriptions inside the Dome of the Rock affirms that God is One and not three; and that Jesus was an apostle of God and His Word, but not His son.
  • The Muslims (Waqf) in control of the Temple Mount allow neither Jewish people not Christians to carry their holy books or pray on the Mount.
  • The Western Wall was part of a retaining wall that surrounded the temple in Jesus' day. This wall is the closest spot the Jewish people can freely approach the original position of the destroyed temples. It has become the most important place of worship for the Jewish people. Prayer occurs 24/7 at the wall.
  • To this day, traditional Jews pray three times a day for the Temple's restoration.
Scriptures to Pray
  • 2 Chronicles 7
  • Psalms 2, 122, 132
  • Isaiah 66
  • Daniel 9
  • Revelation 14

Praying for Israel Continue

Our goal as a church is to be committed to see Israel walking in her full destiny according to the scriptures. We want to pray for and partner with Messianic Jews. The pouring out of the Spirit in Israel is a vital part of the end time harvest among the nations. We want to ask God to give us His heart concerning Jerusalem, His home town.

Ezekiel 36: 23-36

And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. 24 For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. 25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. 28 Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. 29 I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations. 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations. 32 Not for your sake do I do this,” says the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel!”
33 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt. 34 The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. 35 So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ 36 Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.

Jesus himself prophesied that He would raise up a last days prayer movement that would cry out for the people of Israel.

Isaiah 56:3-8

Do not let the son of the foreigner
Who has joined himself to the Lord
Speak, saying,
“The Lord has utterly separated me from His people”;
Nor let the eunuch say,
“Here I am, a dry tree.”
For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,
Even to them I will give in My house
And within My walls a place and a name
Better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give them[a] an everlasting name
That shall not be cut off.

“Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—
Even them I will bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
The Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says,
“Yet I will gather to him
Others besides those who are gathered to him.”

Isaish 62:6-7

I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Praying For Israel

Isaiah 62:1

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.

Jesus Himself will not return to earth until the Jews bless Him.

Matthew 23:37-39

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

The battle of Armageddon is a battle for Jerusalem

Jerusalem's Enemies to Be Destroyed
A prophecy: The word of the Lord concerning Israel.

Zechariah 12:1-4

The Lord, who stretched out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: "I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the Lord. "I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations.

Jesus will bring military breakthrough

Zachariah 12:8,9

On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord going before them. On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.

Zachariah 14:3

Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.

At the same time, Jesus will bring spiritual breakthough

Joel 2:32

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

Jesus will rule over all the nations from His throne of glory in Jerusalem

Psalm 132:13-14

For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying, this is my resting place forever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.

Our goal as a church is to be committed to see Israel walking in her full destiny according to the scriptures. We want to pray for the partner with Messianic Jews. The pouring out of the Spirit in Israel is a vital part of the end time harvest among the nations. We want to ask God to give us His heart concerning Jerusalem, His home town.

This should be on everyone's heart to pray for God's children especially the Jews, for He won't return until He the Jews know that He is Jesus Christ their Lord and Bless Him. All of God's children need to confess this with their mouth and heart, not just the Jews.

Our brothers and sisters are being hindered in finding the Lord because of the world around us, we live too much in the flesh and not enough in the spirit. Brothers and Sisters that live in the Spirit go out and help the ones that are lost so that our Family can grow. Show them the Blessings that comes with accepting the Lord as Your Father. He is mighty, wise and Love His children and will bless them as long as they believe in Him.

GOD's Word

Jeremiah 29: 11-14

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will...
gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

Note: Remember this if your are upset or happy about the outcome of the election. It is in God's hands and He knows what He is doing, just trust in Him that He will take care of you.

James 1: 19-27

19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Note: Don't just listen to the word, soak in it. Seek the Lord for understanding and then follow it.
