GLORY TO YESHUA!

On Friday, November 18th, 2005 I witnessed a miracle, an overt expression of GOD's response to our prayers and the prayers of many others.

In October 2001, the Holy Spirit asked me to make Glory Rings for America and Israel. In the year 2001 - 7 (seven) other intercessors joined me in praying for America and Israel.

In the year 2002 - 4 (four) more joined.

In the year 2003 - 12 (twelve) more joined and we began the America Israel Prayer Shield In Jesus Group Email and added the America Israel Page to the Web Site.

In 2004 the Prayer Shield doubled and a total of 51 (fifty-one) "I AM" America~Israel Glory Rings were dispersed through America, Israel and Canada.

In 2005 the Prayer Shield has doubled again and a total of 55 (fifty-five) "I AM" Glory Rings were dispersed in North America and Israel.

Recently I looked up the number 55 in the Hebrew Dictionary - the word means "TO TURN!"....and I believe the LORD has TURNED HIS ear to our prayers for the relationship between America and Israel!

The single focus of this monthly America Israel Prayer Shield has been to pray for the relationship between America and Israel and to pray for the Holy Spirit to raise up more intercessors.

The following Scriptures were sent with each "I AM" Glory Ring for Prayer over America and Israel.

Scriptures: Exodus 3:14, Isaiah 44:6, Matthew 18:20, John 6:35, John 8:12, John 14:6, John 8:23, John 10:9, John 10:11, John 11:25, John 8:58, I Corinthians 15:10, Jeremiah 24:7, Isaiah 62, Ezekiel 44:4 and Psalm 91.

Last week, I was in Nashville, Tennessee at the Aglow International Conference. Among the guest ministers were Don Finto (www.calebcompany.com) and Asher (Keith) Intrater (www.revive-israel.org).

On the evening of the 18th, Jane Hansen, President of Aglow International received and released a mandate through Asher Intrater to intercede for Israel. To watch 103 NATIONS (not people) NATIONS - receive with open hearts and arms the mandate to pray for Israel was nothing less than a miracle.

Personally, it was a huge gift to me, as often when on the wall of intercession or when the LORD asks me to begin a new thing - it is a time of warfare, a time of being on the wall, a time of intercession, a time of persistence, a time of perseverance.....until there is BREAKTHROUGH! (four years later)!

And on November 18th, 2005 there was BREAKTHROUGH FOR INTERCESSION FOR ISRAEL! I cried, I laughed, I proclaimed, I shouted, I danced, I rejoiced and I praised the LORD! GLORY TO GOD! (And so did the angels!)

When Jane announced "103 NATIONS", immediately PSALM 103 was quickened in my spirit.

PSALM 103

BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL; AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME, BLESS HIS HOLY NAME!

BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND FORGET NONE OF HIS BENEFITS; WHO PARDONS ALL YOU INIQUITIES; WHO HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES; WHO REDEEMS YOUR LIFE FROM THE PIT; WHO CROWNS YOU WITH LOVING-KINDNESS AND COMPASSION; WHO SATISFIES YOUR YEARS WITH GOOD THINGS, SO THAT YOUR YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE!

THE LORD PERFORMS RIGHTEOUS DEEDS, AND JUDGMENTS FOR ALL WHO ARE OPPRESSED. HE MADE KNOW HIS WAYS TO MOSES, HIS ACTS TO THE SONS OF ISRAEL. THE LORD IS COMPASSIONATE AND GRACIOUS, SLOW TO ANGER AND ABOUNDING IN LOVING-KINDNESS.

HE WILL NOT ALWAYS STRIVE WITH US; NOR WILL HE KEEP HIS ANGER FOREVER. HE HAS NOT DEALT WITH US ACCORDING TO OUR SINS, NOR REWARDED US ACCORDING TO OUR INIQUITIES. FOR AS HIGH AS THE HEAVENS ARE ABOVE THE EARTH, SO GREAT IS HIS LOVING-KINDNESS TOWARD THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.

AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST, SO FAR HAS HE REMOVED OUR TRANSGRESSIONS FROM US. JUST AS A FATHER HAS COMPASSION ON HIS CHILDREN, SO THE LORD HAS COMPASSION ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM. FOR HE HIMSELF KNOWS OUR FRAME; HE IS MINDFUL THAT WE ARE BUT DUST.

AS FOR MAN, HIS DAYS ARE LIKE GRASS; AS A FLOWER OF THE FIELD, SO HE FLOURISHES. WHEN THE WIND HAS PASSED OVER IT, IT IS NO MORE; AND ITS PLACE ACKNOWLEDGES IT NO LONGER.

BUT THE LOVING-KINDNESS OF THE LORD IS FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS TO CHILDREN'S CHILDREN, TO THOSE WHO KEEP HIS COVENANT, AND WHO REMEMBER HIS PRECEPTS TO DO THEM.

THE LORD HAS ESTABLISHED HIS THRONE IN THE HEAVENS; AND HIS SOVEREIGNTY RULES OVER ALL.

BLESS THE LORD, YOU HIS ANGELS, MIGHTY IN STRENGTH, WHO PERFORM HIS WORD, OBEYING THE VOICE OF HIS WORD!

BLESS THE LORD, ALL YOU HIS HOSTS, YOU WHO SERVE HIM, DOING HIS WILL. BLESS THE LORD, ALL YOU WORKS OF HIS, IN ALL PLACES OF HIS DOMINION; BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL!

AMEN!

It is with deep gratitude that I offer thanksgiving to those of you that have walked the last four years in faith and perseverance! And to all of you that have joined us along the way. Thank You! The faithfulness of GOD is a sweet, sweet thing!

I am anticipating 2006 to be a year of the "UNEXPECTED" expressions and blessings of ADONAI's Favor, Mercy, Hope, Intervention, Surprises, Recompense, Peace, Joy, Love, Kindness, Healing, Restoration and Redemption!

Shalom,

Jennifer Lynn Joy
