Mary opened the watch with “Zion” with Aaron Shust and Shiloh Ben Hod featuring memorial pictures of victims who had fallen on October 7th 2023. Three significant words stood out from her reciting Jeremiah 31:14-16 .. There's a reward for the travail and the weeping; there's a return that goes into every scriptural promise of the returned; and then there's a hope for the future. Mary shared on the significance of contending for Israel before other nations, as Israel is the barometer of what is taking place in the nations. The centrality of who are in our faith being where Israel stands. The need to walk in the fullness of the Son, not only for Israel but for the first nations people, in particular Turtle Island. To contend for the return of the remaining deceased hostages.References were made to bones having an identity and so several prayers emanated from that. In particular, where Joseph bones were brought home to Israel from Egypt. Genesis 50:24-26.Lynette shared the importance of continuing prayer once the hostages have been returned. The one who prayed the most was Yeshua when He wept over Jerusalem [Matthew 23:37-39].This aligned with Mary’s experience that she encountered when in Israel in April 2023. At that time Mary could feel Yeshua crying over Jerusalem. She stressed the importance as watchmen the need to be reigning our inner being into His order, to who He is, to continually be on our watch as watchmen. To align ourselves with His heart and not be led by our emotions. Prayer was offered for healing of the returned living hostages. It was again emphasised that prayer should continue even when everyone is returned home; for the hostages and families, that people would return to the heart of the Father. Making Aliyah in their hearts to the Father, not just as Creator, but as Father and His Son.A powerful reference was made to Mary’s recent teaching - on calling out the identity of the host people, the first people. In Israel’s case the Jews are the first people. Importance of calling them out whether they are there or not in the land. It is important to name them by name - when named by their name and by their tribe they are in essence aligning with God’s heart because He placed them there. A powerful testimony given illustrated a young indigenous man who had returned to the land of his heritage. An answer to prayer. It’s calling the identity of the individuals forward. Reminder: It is so important, to continue praying, as one day the Lord will say, 'this is your answered prayer'Such a rich time of heart revelation, testimonies, teaching, scripture references and hence many heartfelt responses in prayer Communion was shared by Jenine with closing prayer given by Maria G.
