🎶 A NEW SOUND IS RISING FROM THE GALILEE 🇮🇱🌍 “Hallelujah”
At the Vertical Galilee House of Prayer, new songs are beginning to come together as voices gather from across the Galilee, throughout Israel, and from nations around the world.
“Sing to the LORD a new song.” — Psalm 96:1
We believe a new season needs a new sound. After years of war, loss, and shaking, we are believing for a sound that awakens hearts, brings healing to people and the land, and prepares the way for restoration.
“The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.” — Psalm 29:4
As we hear Elohim’s voice, and sing it, it shifts the atmosphere.
And this is not meant to be a one-time moment. We want new songs rising every week from Israelis and representatives of the nations worshiping together.
This is the heart of Faithful Galileans, at the Vertical Galilee House of Prayer, as leaders from all over converge in Ambassador Academy, we are believing for
🌿 A new season. A new sound a new wind to blow on the Galileans.

BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT
Born of the Ruach, Led by the Ruach, Strengthened by the Ruach
We are living in times of extraordinary testing, tension, warfare, uncertainty, and spiritual pressure. The question is not simply whether we believe in Elohim. The question is: Are we filled with His Spirit?
Zechariah 4:6 gives us the foundation:
“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says YHWH of hosts.
Zechariah 4:6
Hebrew:
לֹא בְחַיִל וְלֹא בְכֹחַ כִּי אִם־בְּרוּחִי אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת
Lo vechayil, velo vechoach, ki im beRuchi, amar YHWH Tzeva’ot.
There are things that human strength cannot accomplish. Intelligence cannot accomplish them. Money cannot accomplish them. Military strength cannot accomplish them. Charisma cannot accomplish them.
Only the Ruach can.
Think about a football match. Sometimes a coach puts a player onto the field who is not yet the strongest player on the team. Why? Because the coach sees what that player can become. The player is being trained under pressure.
Sometimes Elohim allows us onto a field that seems beyond our ability because He is developing us.
The test is part of the training.
The pressure is revealing whether we are drawing strength from ourselves or from the Ruach.
Be Continually Filled
Paul writes:
“And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.”
Ephesians 5:18
Hebrew:
וְאַל־תִּשְׁתַּכְּרוּ מִיַּיִן שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ פְּרִיצוּת, אֶלָּא הִמָּלְאוּ בָּרוּחַ
The Greek expression carries the idea of continually being filled.
This is not merely something that happened twenty years ago when you first encountered Elohim.
We need the Ruach today.
And tomorrow.
And in the next battle.
Ephesians 5:19–21 shows what that filling produces: worship, thanksgiving, spiritual songs, humility, and right relationships.
A Spirit-filled person is not merely someone who has dramatic experiences.
A Spirit-filled person increasingly produces Spirit-filled fruit.
Capacity Is Not Power
Think about water moving through a hose.
You can have an enormous hose, but without water flowing through it, that hose accomplishes absolutely nothing.
Electricity works similarly.
Voltage is like pressure.
Current is like flow.
Resistance limits the flow.
The wire provides the capacity to carry it.
A massive electrical cable without a source of power is just expensive metal.
Spiritually, the principle is simple:
Capacity is not the same as power.
You may have enormous gifts.
You may have intelligence.
You may have influence.
You may have leadership ability.
You may have theological knowledge.
But without connection to the Source, there is no spiritual power.
Yeshua demonstrated something different.
“Someone touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.”
Luke 8:46
Hebrew:
מִישֶׁהוּ נָגַע בִּי, כִּי הִרְגַּשְׁתִּי שֶׁכֹּחַ יָצָא מִמֶּנִּי
The Greek word is δύναμις, dunamis, meaning power, might, strength, or miraculous ability.
Yeshua was not operating from human capacity alone. The power of the Kingdom was flowing.
We need that flow again.
The Spirit Resting Upon Us
Isaiah prophesied concerning Messiah:
“The Spirit of YHWH shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHWH.”
Isaiah 11:2
Hebrew:
וְנָחָה עָלָיו רוּחַ יְהוָה
רוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה
רוּחַ עֵצָה וּגְבוּרָה
רוּחַ דַּעַת וְיִרְאַת יְהוָה
Here we see:
Ruach YHWH — רוּחַ יְהוָה — Spirit of YHWH
Chokhmah — חָכְמָה — wisdom
Binah — בִּינָה — understanding
Etzah — עֵצָה — counsel
Gevurah — גְּבוּרָה — might
Da’at — דַּעַת — knowledge
Yirat YHWH — יִרְאַת יְהוָה — fear of YHWH
We need more than information.
We need wisdom.
We need discernment.
We need counsel from heaven.
We need strength from the Ruach.
A Heart That Hears
Solomon understood this.
When Elohim offered him what he desired, Solomon asked:
“Give therefore Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil.”
1 Kings 3:9
Hebrew:
וְנָתַתָּ לְעַבְדְּךָ לֵב שֹׁמֵעַ לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־עַמְּךָ לְהָבִין בֵּין־טוֹב לְרָע
The extraordinary phrase is:
לֵב שֹׁמֵעַ — Lev shomea
Literally: a listening heart, a heart that hears.
One of the greatest needs of this generation is not another opinion.
We have millions of those.
We need people who can hear Elohim.
Filled for the Work
Exodus tells us about Bezalel:
“And I have filled him with the Spirit of Elohim, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.”
Exodus 31:3
Hebrew:
וָאֲמַלֵּא אֹתוֹ רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים
בְּחָכְמָה וּבִתְבוּנָה וּבְדַעַת
וּבְכָל־מְלָאכָה
Va’amale oto Ruach Elohim, bechokhmah uvitvunah uveda’at, uvechol melakhah.
Notice this carefully.
Bezalel was filled with the Ruach not only to prophesy or worship but to work.
The Ruach empowered craftsmanship, creativity, skill, excellence, and ex*****on.
Whatever assignment Elohim has given you, you need the Ruach for the work.
Learn to Recognize His Voice
Paul writes:
“There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without significance.”
1 Corinthians 14:10
Hebrew:
יֵשׁ בָּעוֹלָם מִינִים רַבִּים כָּל־כָּךְ שֶׁל קוֹלוֹת, וְאֵין אֶחָד מֵהֶם חֲסַר מַשְׁמָעוּת
There are many voices.
Political voices.
Cultural voices.
Voices of fear.
Voices of ambition.
Voices from social media.
Voices from our own emotions.
But above them all we must learn the voice of the Ruach.
“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but the counsel of YHWH will stand.”
Proverbs 19:21
Hebrew:
רַבּוֹת מַחֲשָׁבוֹת בְּלֶב־אִישׁ
וַעֲצַת יְהוָה הִיא תָקוּם
Rabot machashavot belev ish, va’atzat YHWH hi takum.
We have plans.
Elohim has counsel.
His counsel stands.
The Ruach Within Us
Yeshua promised:
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, the Spirit of truth.”
John 14:16–17
Hebrew:
וַאֲנִי אֲבַקֵּשׁ מֵהָאָב וְהוּא יִתֵּן לָכֶם מְנַחֵם אַחֵר שֶׁיִּהְיֶה עִמָּכֶם לְעוֹלָם, אֶת רוּחַ הָאֱמֶת
Then Yeshua says:
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things.”
John 14:26
Hebrew:
אֲבָל הַמְנַחֵם, רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ, אֲשֶׁר הָאָב יִשְׁלַח בִּשְׁמִי, הוּא יְלַמֵּד אֶתְכֶם הַכֹּל
The Ruach is not merely around us.
He desires to dwell within us.
Born From Above
Yeshua told Nicodemus:
“Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of Elohim.”
John 3:5
Hebrew:
אִם לֹא יִוָּלֵד אִישׁ מִן הַמַּיִם וְהָרוּחַ, לֹא יוּכַל לָבוֹא אֶל מַלְכוּת אֱלֹהִים
Then:
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
John 3:6
Hebrew:
הַנּוֹלָד מִן הַבָּשָׂר בָּשָׂר הוּא, וְהַנּוֹלָד מִן הָרוּחַ רוּחַ הוּא
The Greek expression γεννηθῆναι ἄνωθεν, gennēthēnai anōthen, can carry both the sense of “born again” and “born from above.”
Nicodemus already had religion.
He already knew Scripture.
He already had reputation and discipline.
But Yeshua told him that something supernatural had to happen.
Religion was insufficient.
He needed life from above.
Yeshua continues:
“The wind blows where it wishes... so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
John 3:8
I am born of the Ruach.
I am not meant to remain trapped in the limitations of the flesh.
I want to be carried by the wind of Elohim.
Do Not Quench the Spirit
Paul gives us an extraordinarily practical description of Spirit-filled living:
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks... Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16–22
Hebrew:
שִׂמְחוּ תָּמִיד.
הִתְפַּלְּלוּ בְּלִי הֶרֶף.
הוֹדוּ עַל כָּל דָּבָר...
אֶת הָרוּחַ אַל תְּכַבּוּ.
נְבוּאוֹת אַל תִּבְזוּ.
בַּחֲנוּ אֶת הַכֹּל וְהַחֲזִיקוּ בַּטּוֹב.
הִתְרַחֲקוּ מִכָּל צּוּרָה שֶׁל רָע.
Keep the spiritual fuel flowing.
Do not keep driving while starving the engine.
Born of Incorruptible Seed
Peter writes:
“Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of Elohim which lives and abides forever.”
1 Peter 1:23
Hebrew:
כְּמִי שֶׁנּוֹלַדְתֶּם מֵחָדָשׁ לֹא מִזֶּרַע נִשְׁחָת אֶלָּא מִזֶּרַע בִּלְתִּי נִשְׁחָת, בִּדְבַר אֱלֹהִים הַחַי וְהַקַּיָּם לְעוֹלָם
זֶרַע בִּלְתִּי נִשְׁחָת — zera bilti nishchat
An incorruptible, imperishable seed.
What Elohim plants within us is designed to grow.
So we should ask ourselves:
Am I growing?
Or am I stagnating?
Paul says:
“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.”
2 Corinthians 13:5
Hebrew:
בִּדְקוּ אֶת עַצְמְכֶם אִם עוֹמְדִים אַתֶּם בָּאֱמוּנָה; נַסּוּ אֶת עַצְמְכֶם
Measure yourself.
Not against somebody else.
Measure yourself against where the Ruach is calling you.
Immaturity Reveals Itself
Hebrews says:
“Though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again.”
Hebrews 5:12
Hebrew:
כִּי לְפִי מֶשֶׁךְ הַזְּמַן הֱיִיתֶם צְרִיכִים לִהְיוֹת מוֹרִים, אַךְ שׁוּב אַתֶּם זְקוּקִים לְמִי שֶׁיְּלַמֵּד אֶתְכֶם
Spiritual maturity becomes especially visible in relationships.
James asks:
“Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?”
James 4:1
Hebrew:
מֵאַיִן הַמִּלְחָמוֹת וְהַמְּרִיבוֹת בֵּינֵיכֶם? הֲלֹא מִן הַתַּאֲווֹת הַנִּלְחָמוֹת בְּאֵיבְרֵיכֶם?
Paul tells the Corinthians:
“I could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Messiah... for where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal?”
1 Corinthians 3:1–3
Hebrew:
וַאֲנִי, אַחַי, לֹא יָכֹלְתִּי לְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיכֶם כְּאֶל רוּחָנִיִּים, אֶלָּא כְּאֶל בְּשָׂרִיִּים, כְּאֶל תִּינוֹקוֹת בַּמָּשִׁיחַ... כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר יֵשׁ בֵּינֵיכֶם קִנְאָה וּמְרִיבָה, הֲלֹא בְּשָׂרִיִּים אַתֶּם?
Conflict can expose what is still immature within us.
Have We Become Hard of Hearing?
Hebrews gives a sobering warning:
“We have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.”
Hebrews 5:11
Hebrew:
עַל זֶה יֵשׁ לָנוּ דְּבָרִים רַבִּים לוֹמַר וְקָשֶׁה לְבָאֲרָם, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁנַּעֲשֵׂיתֶם כִּבְדֵי שְׁמִיעָה
Have we become hard of hearing?
Can we still recognize the whisper of the Ruach?
Or have distraction, offense, familiarity, compromise, and constant noise made our spiritual ears dull?
We need again the lev shomea, the listening heart.
Rivers of Living Water
Yeshua declared:
“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
John 7:38
Hebrew:
הַמַּאֲמִין בִּי, כְּדִבְרֵי הַכָּתוּב, נַהֲרוֹת שֶׁל מַיִם חַיִּים יִזְרְמוּ מִקִּרְבּוֹ
John explains:
“But this He spoke concerning the Spirit.”
John 7:39
We were never designed merely to receive.
We were designed to overflow.
Isaiah says:
“YHWH will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”
Isaiah 58:11
Hebrew:
וְנָחֲךָ יְהוָה תָּמִיד
וְהִשְׂבִּיעַ בְּצַחְצָחוֹת נַפְשֶׁךָ
וְעַצְמֹתֶיךָ יַחֲלִיץ
וְהָיִיתָ כְּגַן רָוֶה
וּכְמוֹצָא מַיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְכַזְּבוּ מֵימָיו
You may be surrounded by drought and still carry a spring.
Walk in the Ruach
“Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”
Galatians 5:16
Hebrew:
הִתְהַלְּכוּ בָּרוּחַ וְלֹא תְמַלְּאוּ אֶת תַּאֲווֹת הַבָּשָׂר
Then:
“For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.”
Galatians 5:17
There is a battle.
But you do not have to fight it only in your own strength.
The King will strengthen you by His Ruach.
The command is not merely to have an experience with the Spirit.
It is to walk in the Spirit.
Every day.
Every decision.
Every conversation.
Every temptation.
Discipline the Body
Paul says:
“But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection.”
1 Corinthians 9:27
Hebrew:
אֶלָּא אֲנִי מְדַכֵּא אֶת גּוּפִי וּמְשַׁעְבֵּד אוֹתוֹ
The point is not self-harm.
It is self-government.
Your body cannot be your king.
Your appetite cannot be your king.
Your emotions cannot be your king.
Messiah is King.
David writes:
“I humbled my soul with fasting.”
Psalm 35:13
Hebrew:
וָאֲעַנֶּה בַצּוֹם נַפְשִׁי
Va’aneh batzom nafshi.
Fasting is one way we tell the flesh:
You are not in charge.
The Ruach leads.
Strengthened in the Hidden Place
Luke describes John:
“And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.”
Luke 1:80
Hebrew:
וְהַיֶּלֶד גָּדַל וְהִתְחַזֵּק בָּרוּחַ, וַיְהִי בַּמִּדְבָּרוֹת עַד יוֹם הֵרָאוֹתוֹ אֶל יִשְׂרָאֵל
John’s hidden years were not wasted years.
The wilderness was preparation.
Separation.
Formation.
Strengthening.
There are seasons when Elohim pulls us away from noise because He is preparing us for what comes next.
Find that quiet place.
Find that quiet time.
Let the King make you strong in spirit.
Do Not Grieve the Ruach
Paul gives one final warning:
“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of Elohim.”
Ephesians 4:30
Hebrew:
אַל־תַּעֲצִיבוּ אֶת רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ שֶׁל אֱלֹהִים
Al ta’atzivu et Ruach HaKodesh shel Elohim.
The Hebrew verb לְהַעֲצִיב, leha’atziv, means to grieve, sadden, or cause sorrow.
The Ruach is not merely a force.
He can be grieved.
So we must ask:
Is my life welcoming His presence?
Am I obeying quickly?
Am I forgiving?
Am I walking in purity?
Am I listening?
Am I growing?
Am I still hungry?
Be Filled
This is the call.
Be born of the Ruach.
Walk in the Ruach.
Listen to the Ruach.
Do not quench the Ruach.
Do not grieve the Ruach.
Allow rivers of living water to flow.
Discipline the flesh.
Develop a heart that hears.
Seek the quiet place.
Let Elohim strengthen you in the hidden years.
We do not need merely bigger ministries, bigger platforms, bigger buildings, or bigger capacity.
A giant hose without water remains empty.
A giant cable without power remains dead.
We need the Source.
We need the presence.
We need the Ruach HaKodesh.
“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.”
לֹא בְחַיִל וְלֹא בְכֹחַ כִּי אִם־בְּרוּחִי
Let us grow.
Let us become strong.
Let us deny ourselves.
Let us refuse spiritual stagnation.
Let us become sensitive again to the voice of Elohim.
And let us be continually, completely, powerfully filled with the Ruach HaKodesh.

More Than Superheroes: Strength, Spiritual Intelligence, and the Joy of Redemption
Why is our culture so obsessed with superheroes?
Everywhere we look, humanity is imagining figures who can fly, lift impossible weights, see through walls, defeat armies, discover hidden plans, and rescue the innocent. Our culture produces endless stories about men and women possessing powers beyond ordinary human ability.
This fascination reveals something deep within the human heart. We know that evil is real. We recognize that ordinary human strength is often insufficient. We long for someone powerful enough to confront darkness, rescue the oppressed, expose hidden enemies, and restore what has been broken.
Yet modern superhero culture often carries a dangerous message: We can save ourselves.
It resembles an ancient Greek ideal of the heroic individual who rises through personal strength, exceptional ability, glory, and self-mastery. This is not a statement against Greek people or language. The Scriptures themselves were preserved for us partly in Greek. Rather, it describes the recurring human spirit of independence: “I possess the power. I determine my destiny. I can overcome through my own greatness.”
The Kingdom of Elohim teaches something radically different.
We are not called to become self-created heroes. We are called to surrender to the King, receive His strength, hear His counsel, and participate in His victory.
Learning from Elohim’s Miniature Superheroes
Scripture directs us to one of the smallest creatures on earth:
Proverbs 6:6
English:
“Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise.”
Hebrew:
לֵךְ־אֶל־נְמָלָה עָצֵל רְאֵה דְרָכֶיהָ וַחֲכָם
L**h el nemalah, atzel; re’eh derakheha va-chakham.
Ants are miniature superheroes. Many species can carry loads many times their body weight. Laboratory research on the Allegheny mound ant found that its neck joint could withstand forces approaching five thousand times its body weight before failing. That does not mean the ant routinely carries five thousand times its weight, but it reveals the extraordinary strength built into its tiny design.
The ant does not boast. It does not wait for applause. It works, prepares, cooperates, carries its assigned burden, and advances with the colony.
This is Kingdom strength: not loud self-promotion, but disciplined obedience.
The question is not, “How powerful can I make myself?” The question is, “What has the King assigned to me, and will I faithfully carry it?”
We say yes to the King, and then we advance.
Transferred into the Kingdom
Colossians 1:13
English:
“He has delivered us from the authority of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His beloved Son.”
Hebrew:
הוּא חִלֵּץ אוֹתָנוּ מִשִּׁלְטוֹן הַחֹשֶׁךְ וְהֶעֱבִיר אוֹתָנוּ אֶל מַלְכוּת בְּנוֹ אֲהוּבוֹ
Redemption is a transfer of government. We have been delivered from the oppression and authority of the evil one and brought under the reign of Messiah Yeshua.
We do not fight in order to earn citizenship in the Kingdom. We fight from the position of those who have already been transferred into it.
Our King gives us identity, authority, purpose, protection, and intelligence. We no longer belong to the dominion of darkness. Therefore, darkness no longer has the right to define our future.
The Intelligence of the King
Israel understands the importance of intelligence. Physical battles are not won by strength alone. They require accurate information, early warning, discernment, analysis, and the exposure of hidden plans.
Israel has the Shin Bet, Mossad, and Aman. These agencies work in different spheres to identify threats, understand enemies, and protect the nation.
Yet Scripture also reveals what we might call the intelligence of the Spirit.
In 2 Kings 6:7–17, the king of Aram repeatedly planned military operations against Israel. Each time, Elisha warned the king of Israel where the enemy would be.
2 Kings 6:12
English:
“Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
Hebrew:
אֱלִישָׁע הַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל יַגִּיד לְמֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר תְּדַבֵּר בַּחֲדַר מִשְׁכָּבֶךָ
The king of Aram believed there was a traitor among his officers. The reality was more unsettling: Elohim was revealing the enemy’s secret plans to His prophet.
When the Aramean army surrounded Dothan, Elisha’s servant panicked.
2 Kings 6:16–17
English:
“Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them. Then Elisha prayed and said, ‘YHWH, please open his eyes that he may see.’ And YHWH opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.”
Hebrew:
וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־תִּירָא כִּי רַבִּים אֲשֶׁר אִתָּנוּ מֵאֲשֶׁר אוֹתָם׃ וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל אֱלִישָׁע וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה פְּקַח־נָא אֶת־עֵינָיו וְיִרְאֶה וַיִּפְקַח יְהוָה אֶת־עֵינֵי הַנַּעַר וַיַּרְא וְהִנֵּה הָהָר מָלֵא סוּסִים וְרֶכֶב אֵשׁ סְבִיבֹת אֱלִישָׁע
Elisha did not deny the physical army. He saw a greater reality surrounding it.
Spiritual intelligence does not mean ignoring facts. It means seeing every fact from the perspective of Elohim’s throne.
Standing in the Counsel of YHWH
How did Elisha receive such understanding? He lived before Elohim.
Jeremiah 23:18
English:
“For who has stood in the counsel of YHWH, and has perceived and heard His word? Who has paid attention to His word and listened?”
Hebrew:
כִּי מִי עָמַד בְּסוֹד יְהוָה וְיֵרֶא וְיִשְׁמַע אֶת־דְּבָרוֹ מִי הִקְשִׁיב דְּבָרִי וַיִּשְׁמָע
The Hebrew word סוֹד, sod, means confidential counsel, intimate council, or secret gathering.
To stand in the counsel of YHWH is to enter His presence, listen before speaking, and receive His perspective rather than merely asking Him to approve our own plans.
Rees Howells became widely known for his life of prayer and intercession and for founding the Bible College of Wales. His legacy emphasized that intercession requires surrender, obedience, and persistence, not merely emotional prayer.
We desire that same reality: to be where Elohim wants us, when He wants us there, praying what is on His heart.
Spiritual intelligence is not fortune-telling. It is not human suspicion dressed in religious language. It is hearing the King, testing everything according to Scripture, and obeying His direction.
The Weapons of the Kingdom
2 Corinthians 10:4
English:
“The weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through Elohim for pulling down strongholds.”
Hebrew:
כְּלֵי מִלְחַמְתֵּנוּ אֵינָם בְּשָׂרִיִּים אֶלָּא חֲזָקִים בֵּאלֹהִים לַהֲרִיסַת מִבְצָרִים
Ephesians 6:13
English:
“Therefore take up the whole armor of Elohim, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.”
Hebrew:
עַל־כֵּן קְחוּ אֶת־מְלוֹא נֶשֶׁק הָאֱלֹהִים לְמַעַן תּוּכְלוּ לַעֲמֹד בַּיּוֹם הָרָע וּלְאַחַר עֲשׂוֹתְכֶם הַכֹּל לַעֲמֹד
Romans 12:21
English:
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Hebrew:
אַל־תִּכָּנַע לָרַע אֶלָּא הִתְגַּבֵּר עַל הָרַע בַּטּוֹב
The believer fights, but not in the spirit of hatred, pride, revenge, or self-glorification. We confront lies with truth, fear with faith, hatred with righteousness, oppression with courage, and despair with hope.
We fight evil without allowing evil to reproduce itself inside us.
Fighting the Battles of YHWH
1 Samuel 18:17
English:
“Fight the battles of YHWH.”
Hebrew:
הִלָּחֵם מִלְחֲמוֹת יְהוָה
Hillachem milchamot Adonai.
The battle must belong to Elohim. Not every conflict is our assignment.
Deuteronomy 20:4
English:
“For YHWH your Elohim is the One who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”
Hebrew:
כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם הַהֹלֵךְ עִמָּכֶם לְהִלָּחֵם לָכֶם עִם־אֹיְבֵיכֶם לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶתְכֶם
Exodus 14:14
English:
“YHWH will fight for you, and you shall remain silent.”
Hebrew:
יְהוָה יִלָּחֵם לָכֶם וְאַתֶּם תַּחֲרִשׁוּן
Sometimes faith advances. Sometimes faith stands still. The heroic flesh dislikes standing still because it wants to be seen accomplishing something. Kingdom obedience asks only what the King has commanded.
1 Samuel 17:47
English:
“The battle belongs to YHWH.”
Hebrew:
כִּי לַיהוָה הַמִּלְחָמָה
David understood that Goliath had challenged the honor of Elohim, not merely the strength of Israel.
Nehemiah 4:14
English:
“Do not be afraid of them. Remember YHWH, great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”
Hebrew:
אַל־תִּירְאוּ מִפְּנֵיהֶם אֶת־אֲדֹנָי הַגָּדוֹל וְהַנּוֹרָא זְכֹרוּ וְהִלָּחֲמוּ עַל־אֲחֵיכֶם בְּנֵיכֶם וּבְנֹתֵיכֶם נְשֵׁיכֶם וּבָתֵּיכֶם
There is a righteous responsibility to protect families, communities, and those entrusted to us.
Psalm 144:1
English:
“Blessed be YHWH, my Rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.”
Hebrew:
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה צוּרִי הַמְלַמֵּד יָדַי לַקְרָב אֶצְבְּעוֹתַי לַמִּלְחָמָה
Skill, courage, preparation, and training are not opposites of faith. They become holy when submitted to Elohim.
Zechariah 10:5–6
English:
“They shall fight because YHWH is with them… I will strengthen the house of Judah.”
Hebrew:
וְנִלְחֲמוּ כִּי יְהוָה עִמָּם… וְגִבַּרְתִּי אֶת־בֵּית יְהוּדָה
Judah does not prevail through mythology, fantasy, or self-confidence. Judah fights because YHWH is present.
2 Chronicles 20:15
English:
“Do not be afraid or dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but Elohim’s.”
Hebrew:
אַל־תִּירְאוּ וְאַל־תֵּחַתּוּ מִפְּנֵי הֶהָמוֹן הָרָב הַזֶּה כִּי לֹא לָכֶם הַמִּלְחָמָה כִּי לֵאלֹהִים
Standing in Victory
Isaiah 49:25
English:
“I will contend with the one who contends with you, and I will save your children.”
Hebrew:
כִּי אֶת־יְרִיבֵךְ אָנֹכִי אָרִיב וְאֶת־בָּנַיִךְ אָנֹכִי אוֹשִׁיעַ
Ki et-yerivekh anokhi ariv, ve’et-banayikh anokhi oshia.
Our confidence is not that opposition will never come. Our confidence is that Elohim Himself enters the controversy.
Acts 17:28
English:
“For in Him we live and move and have our being.”
Hebrew:
כִּי בוֹ אֲנַחְנוּ חַיִּים וּמִתְנוֹעֲעִים וְקַיָּמִים
Everything comes from Him. We live in Him, move through His strength, and exist by His sustaining power.
Aliyah and the Joy of Redemption
Aliyah is more than immigration. It is the visible realization of the prophetic Word of Elohim as the scattered people of Israel return to their ancestral homeland.
We pray: “Elohim, make the process easier. Remove unnecessary barriers. Prepare housing, employment, language assistance, community, and friendship. Make the Galilee a primary destination where returning families can settle, flourish, serve, and build their future.”
Joy is a promised part of this redemption.
Isaiah 35:10
English:
“The redeemed of YHWH shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.”
Hebrew:
וּפְדוּיֵי יְהוָה יְשׁוּבוּן וּבָאוּ צִיּוֹן בְּרִנָּה וְשִׂמְחַת עוֹלָם עַל־רֹאשָׁם שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה יַשִּׂיגוּ וְנָסוּ יָגוֹן וַאֲנָחָה
Redemption does not end merely with survival. It leads to singing, belonging, restoration, and joy.
Praying for Israel’s Leadership
We prayed for Israel’s senior leadership: Shin Bet Director David Zini, Mossad Director Roman Gofman, Aman chief Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, and Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Omer Tischler. Official Israeli sources confirm these current officeholders.
We also remembered their immediate predecessors: Ronen Bar, David Barnea, Aharon Haliva, Yoav Gallant, Herzi Halevi, and Tomer Bar. Leadership changes, but the need for wisdom, humility, courage, accountability, and protection remains.
We prayed for the national elections scheduled for October 27, 2026. Israelis vote for the Knesset rather than directly electing the prime minister, after which a government must be formed.
May every hidden plan against Israel be exposed. May leaders receive wisdom beyond human intelligence. May they protect life, pursue justice, resist corruption, and act with courage.
We are not seeking fictional superheroes. We are seeking surrendered servants, faithful intercessors, courageous defenders, wise leaders, diligent workers, and believers who stand in the counsel of YHWH.
May the eyes of our hearts be opened.
May we see that those who are with us are more than those who are against us.
May we fight only the battles Elohim assigns.
May we stand when He says stand, advance when He says advance, and rejoice because redemption is drawing near.
May the will of Elohim be done in Israel, in the Galilee, in the Kehilah, and throughout the earth.

THE TIME OF VISITATION AND THE MASTER OF BREAKTHROUGHS
The youth returned from the biblical locations with powerful testimonies. They shared about walking through the Land of the Bible, standing in the places where the events of Scripture unfolded, and sensing the presence of Elohim in a deep and personal way. These were not merely archaeological locations or historical sites. The Land itself became a classroom, and the Scriptures came alive beneath their feet.
Lives were dedicated to serving the King of Israel.
This is the central declaration of our faith: There is a King.
The prophet Zechariah proclaimed:
Zechariah 9:9 | זְכַרְיָה ט׳ 9
גִּילִי מְאֹד בַּת־צִיּוֹן הָרִיעִי בַּת יְרוּשָׁלַיִם הִנֵּה מַלְכֵּךְ יָבוֹא לָךְ צַדִּיק וְנוֹשָׁע הוּא עָנִי וְרֹכֵב עַל־חֲמוֹר וְעַל־עַיִר בֶּן־אֲתֹנוֹת׃
“Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you. He is righteous and having salvation, humble and riding on a donkey, even on a c**t, the foal of a donkey.”
Yeshua entered Jerusalem as this promised King. He did not arrive according to the expectations of human power. He came humbly, yet prophetically, revealing that the Kingdom of Elohim does not depend upon human recognition in order to be real. The King had come, but many did not recognize the moment.
This is what Scripture calls the time of visitation.
ZACCHAEUS AND THE KING WHO SEES
Luke 19 begins in Jericho.
Luke 19:1–10 | לוקס י״ט 1–10
Yeshua entered Jericho and was passing through the city. A man named Zacchaeus lived there. He was not merely a tax collector, but a chief tax collector, and he was wealthy. He wanted to see who Yeshua was, but he could not because of the crowd and because he was short.
Perhaps Zacchaeus had been laughed at throughout his life. Perhaps people mocked his height. Perhaps they hated him because of his position. Tax collectors were often seen as collaborators with Rome, enriching themselves through the suffering of their own people. Zacchaeus may have possessed money, influence, and authority, but he was likely rejected by the community around him.
Still, he wanted to see Yeshua.
He ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree. When Yeshua reached the place, He looked up and said:
Luke 19:5 | לוקס י״ט 5
“Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
This is extraordinary. Zacchaeus was trying to see Yeshua, but Yeshua had already seen him.
The crowd saw a sinner. Yeshua saw a son of Abraham.
The crowd saw a traitor. Yeshua saw a man ready for transformation.
The crowd saw someone unworthy of fellowship. Yeshua saw a household ready to receive salvation.
This reflects the heart of Elohim revealed in the prophets:
Ezekiel 34:16 | יחזקאל ל״ד 16
אֶת־הָאֹבֶדֶת אֲבַקֵּשׁ וְאֶת־הַנִּדַּחַת אָשִׁיב
“I will seek that which was lost, and I will bring back that which was driven away.”
Yeshua did not follow the judgment of the crowd. He followed what He saw His Father doing.
John 5:19–20 | יוחנן ה׳ 19–20
“The Son can do nothing of Himself, but only what He sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all that He Himself is doing.”
The crowd grumbled, but Zacchaeus responded. He declared that he would give half his possessions to the poor, and if he had defrauded anyone, he would restore four times the amount.
Then Yeshua said:
Luke 19:9–10 | לוקס י״ט 9–10
“Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
The visitation of Elohim came to Zacchaeus, and Zacchaeus recognized it.
WHEN HUMAN OPINION IS WRONG
People often follow crowds, leaders, movements, propaganda, political pressure, or social hatred. History shows how crowds cheered destructive rulers, including Hi**er. Multitudes have also celebrated revolutionary leaders such as Ruhollah Khomeini and the rulers who followed his ideology, despite the oppression and violence produced under their authority.
Human beings can cheer evil, but we have to be different, go against the flow for what’s right, I mean what does it matter to be liked by these kind of people anyway.
THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION
Later in Luke 19, Yeshua wept over Jerusalem.
Luke 19:44 | לוקס י״ט 44
“You did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
The Greek phrase is:
τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς σου
ton kairon tēs episkopēs sou
The word translated “visitation” is:
ἐπισκοπή — episkopē
It means visitation, inspection, oversight, examination, or divine intervention. It comes from the verb ἐπισκέπτομαι — episkeptomai, meaning to visit, look upon with care, inspect, or intervene.
A visitation is therefore not merely a spiritual feeling. It is a decisive moment when Elohim draws near to reveal, inspect, awaken, restore, correct, commission, and prepare people for the rule of the King.
In Hebrew, the strongest biblical expression is:
עֵת פְּקֻדָּה — Et Pekuddah
“The time of visitation,” “the appointed time of inspection,” or “the season when Elohim visits.”
The root is:
פָּקַד — paqad
It can mean to visit, inspect, remember, appoint, intervene, muster, or call to account.
Elohim’s visitation can bring blessing:
Genesis 21:1 | בראשית כ״א 1
וַיהוָה פָּקַד אֶת־שָׂרָה
“Yahweh visited Sarah.”
It can bring deliverance:
Exodus 3:16 | שמות ג׳ 16
פָּקֹד פָּקַדְתִּי אֶתְכֶם
“I have surely visited you.”
It can also bring accountability:
Isaiah 10:3 | ישעיהו י׳ 3
וּמַה־תַּעֲשׂוּ לְיוֹם פְּקֻדָּה
“What will you do in the day of visitation?”
The phrase יוֹם פְּקֻדָּה — Yom Pekuddah, means “the day of visitation.”
Another related expression is:
עֵת רָצוֹן — Et Ratzon
“The acceptable time,” or “the season of favor.”
This appears in:
Psalm 69:13 | תהילים ס״ט 14
וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּתִי־לְךָ יְהוָה עֵת רָצוֹן
“But as for me, my prayer is to You, Yahweh, in an acceptable time.”
Paul echoes this prophetic reality:
2 Corinthians 6:2 | השנייה אל הקורינתים ו׳ 2
“Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
A time of visitation carries both invitation and responsibility. Nineveh experienced visitation through Jonah’s preaching. Jerusalem experienced visitation through Yeshua. Zacchaeus experienced visitation when the King called him from the tree.
The question is never only, “Is Elohim moving?”
The deeper question is, “Will we recognize Him and respond?”
ISRAEL AND THE PRESENT VISITATION
I believe Israel is living through a serious time of visitation.
The eyes of the nations are again fixed upon Jerusalem. Israel faces war, accusation, division, spiritual confusion, international pressure, and questions concerning its identity and destiny. Yet at the same time, people are returning to the Land, believers are awakening to the biblical importance of Israel, young people are dedicating their lives to the King, and the message of the Kingdom is going forth.
I fight for Jerusalem, but my hope is not ultimately in military strength, political alliances, human institutions, or earthly governments. These have their proper place, but they cannot establish the fullness of the Kingdom.
Our hope is in the Kingdom coming here.
תִּקְוָה לְמַלְכוּת הַבָּאָה
Tikvah le-Malkhut ha-Ba’ah
“Hope for the coming Kingdom.”
We also may say:
תִּקְוַת הַמַּלְכוּת הָעֲתִידָה
Tikvat ha-Malkhut ha-Atidah
“The hope of the future Kingdom.”
Yeshua taught us to pray:
Matthew 6:10 | מתי ו׳ 10
תָּבוֹא מַלְכוּתֶךָ יֵעָשֶׂה רְצוֹנְךָ כַּאֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׁמַיִם גַּם בָּאָרֶץ
“May Your Kingdom come. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
THE MASTER OF BREAKTHROUGHS
The visitation of the King is also connected to breakthrough.
In 2 Samuel 5, the Philistines spread themselves throughout the Valley of Rephaim.
2 Samuel 5:18–25 | שמואל ב׳ ה׳ 18–25
The name רְפָאִים — Rephaim is used in several ways in Scripture. It can refer to ancient giant-like peoples associated with Canaan, including groups related to the Anakim and figures such as Og of Bashan.
See:
Deuteronomy 2:10–11, 20–21 | דברים ב׳ 10–11, 20–21
Deuteronomy 3:11 | דברים ג׳ 11
The term can also poetically refer to the departed dead or shades in Sheol.
See:
Isaiah 14:9 | ישעיהו י״ד 9
Isaiah 26:14 | ישעיהו כ״ו 14
Proverbs 9:18 | משלי ט׳ 18
Some interpreters connect the ancient giant clans with the rebellious heavenly beings surrounding Genesis 6. That interpretation may help illuminate the broader supernatural worldview of Scripture. However, in 2 Samuel 5 the immediate enemies David physically fought were Philistine armies.
David stood in a valley associated with ancient powers, giant peoples, enemy armies, and idolatry. Yet he did not move according to fear or assumption.
David inquired of Yahweh.
Yahweh told him to go up, and David obeyed.
2 Samuel 5:20 | שמואל ב׳ ה׳ 20
פָּרַץ יְהוָה אֶת־אֹיְבַי לְפָנַי כְּפֶרֶץ מָיִם
Paratz YHWH et-oyevai lefanai keferetz mayim.
“Yahweh has broken through my enemies before me like a breakthrough of waters.”
The key word is:
פָּרַץ — paratz
To break through, burst forth, breach, overflow, or break out with power.
David named the place:
בַּעַל פְּרָצִים — Baal-Peratzim
“Master of Breakthroughs,” or “Place of the Master of Breakthroughs.”
Here בַּעַל — baal means master, possessor, or lord. David was declaring that Yahweh was the true Master of the breakthrough.
The prophet Micah later used the same root:
Micah 2:13 | מיכה ב׳ 13
עָלָה הַפֹּרֵץ לִפְנֵיהֶם
“The Breaker has gone up before them.”
The title is:
הַפּוֹרֵץ — HaPoretz
“The Breaker,” the One who breaks open the way.
David did not create the breakthrough. He participated in what Yahweh had already initiated.
When the Philistines returned, David inquired again. This time Yahweh changed the strategy. The first time He said, “Go up.” The second time He said, “Do not go directly up. Circle around behind them.”
The same enemy returned to the same valley, but Yahweh gave a different command.
Yesterday’s breakthrough cannot replace today’s obedience.
David had to wait until he heard the sound of marching in the tops of the trees. Then he was to move, because Yahweh had gone out before him.
Exodus 15:3 | שמות ט״ו 3
יְהוָה אִישׁ מִלְחָמָה יְהוָה שְׁמוֹ
“Yahweh is a man of war; Yahweh is His name.”
The Philistines abandoned their idols. According to the parallel account, David commanded that those idols be burned.
1 Chronicles 14:12 | דברי הימים א׳ י״ד 12
This was not merely a military victory. It was a confrontation between the rule of Yahweh and the powers represented by idolatry.
The message for this time of visitation is clear: Elohim is calling His people to recognize the King, inquire of Yahweh, reject the judgment of the crowd, abandon idols, receive fresh strategy, and move when He moves.
The purpose of visitation is to reveal, awaken, restore, correct, commission, and prepare people for the rule of the King.
The King has come.
The King is coming.
The Breaker goes before us.
And our hope remains:
תִּקְוָה לְמַלְכוּת הַבָּאָה
Hope in the coming Kingdom.
