Demonstration against Messianic Jews

February 16, 2011

Hello to those who might be concerned;

March is the anniversary time of the year for the ultra orthodox to have their BIG demonstration  [300, 400, 700 people] to protest the existence of Messianic Jews here in Arad. This has become an annual event and as usual it will take place in front of my house. Through out the year there are numerous smaller demonstrations in front of all the homes of the believers of Arad.  For the Orthodox Jews of Israel this annual event has become a platform for them to voice their disagreement even hatred of Messianic Jews.  Of course it saddens us to see and hear our Jewish brothers outside our homes screaming curses against us and our families, trying to entice our neighbors to join their efforts to make our lives so miserable that we would choose to just pack everything and flee our birth right country, Israel.  This has been going on for 7 years now.
''What do we do about it? ‘‘You ask?  We have tried many things over the years but mostly we pray. We pray for protection over our families and property. We pray against those curses that are being bellowed out of their mouths and ask G-d Almighty to rebuke them and send those curses to wherever He would have them go.
But mostly we pray for THEM.  We pray that G-d would have mercy on them and would reveal to them the TRUE identity of their own Messiah whom they so desperately wait for.   We pray that the scales would fall from their eyes, that their ears would be cleared so that they can HEAR the WORD of the Heavenly Father. We pray that their necks be massaged and their hearts be softened so that they can receive HIS message. We pray for them to find the Pearl of great price so that they will receive their rightful inheritance! We pray for their SALVATION!
The BIG demonstration will take place this year on March 1st at 7:00 pm.  The police have asked us NOT to be home that evening so as not to incite a riot. Since I try to be a good mother/Foster mother to my children I also think it wise to be someplace else. After all this is
NOT a WAR OF THE FLESH, IT IS A WAR OF THE SPIRIT!!
We, as a group, are planning to have a Shabbot Prayer and Fasting time [Feb 25th-26th] to beg G-ds Mercy and Grace upon those whom throughout history has been the 'Apple of HIS Eye’.  That He should rain down on them like Fire the Power of the Holy Spirit.  That He Himself should show them the TRUE identity of the Messiah that He sent to bring them to Salvation!   Who knows! .... Maybe they will ALL get saved!! Can't hurt to Ask.
Also Tuesday, March 1st will be a day of fasting and we will have a prayer vigil Tuesday evening. Please stand with us in prayer for these unsaved Jews.  Also pray for my neighbors who have, all these years, stood up for my rights to believe in what I wish...  they too
need salvation.  Please pray for all the believers of Arad and those of all Israel...we're all in this little fishing boat together and sometimes the waves look to us overwhelming!   Pray for us to be able to keep our focus on Him!
Mathew 5:11,12 - Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.  Rejoice and be glad, because great is your [OUR] reward in Heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you [us].
May the Lord Bless You and Keep You, May HIS Face Shine Upon You.......
