by This is the time for prayer and intercession. I believe we may well be in the most important moment of global spiritual warfare since the middle of World War II. At that time, Hitler was winning victory after victory and looked unstoppable. He began to implement his plan for the extermination of the Jews, which also looked unstoppable.
But God…
At that strategic hinge of history, the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, mantled Rees Howells and the Bible College of Wales to enter into “Third Heaven” intercession.
Intercession Instead of Reaction
Instead of praying in reaction to the barrage of bad news, they rose up through worship to correctly “discern the times and seasons”. They saw and prayed beforehand what the Lord intended to do to turn the tide.
For example, the Lord told them to pray that Hitler would invade Russia, and later, that he would lose the battle for Moscow. The tide began to turn against Hitler when his troops got stuck in a longer military operation than expected, and they were bogged down in the harshness of an early Russian winter.
Rees Howells and his school also prayed for the fulfillment of the biblical promises to the Jewish people, a re-birth of their nation-state on the ancestral homeland from which they had been exiled.
I submit to your discernment what we are hearing and seeing from here in Jerusalem, at this critical season in the epic global battle for truth, justice, and righteousness. Five phrases came to me this morning (January 26th, 2021). These phrases encapsulate some of what we feel the Lord is directing us in prayer.
1. Intercept World War III
A few years ago, I felt the Lord showed me that when it was the moment for a Great Harvest, Satan would try to cut it off as he successfully did with World War I.
In 1905-1907 there were great outpourings of the Holy Spirit in Wales, California (Azusa Street), and Pyongyang, Korea. One result of those outpourings in the West was “The Student Volunteer Missions Movement” in which large numbers of students from top universities of the UK, USA, and Germany were answering the call to missions, even though many knew they would die as martyrs.
But Satan succeeded in cutting short that Great Harvest by stirring up the UK, USA, and Germany into World War I (1914-1917).
After this war, the Spanish Flu pandemic spread around the world. These two events killed huge numbers of young people who were called into missions.
I felt the Lord say that now our prayers and intercessions could intercept Satan’s plans for a World War III to cut short a Great Harvest. I also felt that Satan would attempt to start World War III in order to block the soon coming wave of Aliyah, the movement of Jewish people from the West coming home to Israel.
2. A Time for War And a Time For Peace
As much as we desire peace, we are promised until Yeshua returns that there will be “a time for war and a time for peace” (Ecclesiastes 3:8). The times and seasons are in His hands, and not in Satan’s, who often tries to cause certain end-times events to occur ahead of the Lord’s timing.
So there are times, as with Rees Howells, that we are to declare a delay into those events. That is why it is written in Revelation 10:5, 6:
“Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, ‘There will be no more delay!’ The angel would not have said that unless there had been God-directed delays before that moment.” – Revelation 10:5,6
We are Proclaiming in Jerusalem:
“We intercept any attempts by the enemy to start World War III at this time. We declare that the powers of darkness will not stop a Great Harvest and a Great Aliyah from the West using the scheme of another World War.”
“We speak ‘no’ to efforts causing regional military conflicts that could grow into World War III. If there is a conflict in the Middle East, let it be only in the timing of God and be quick, decisive, and not allowed to go beyond the boundaries assigned by God.”
3. Taiwan Is Key… and the South China Sea
The Lord has been spotlighting Taiwan and the South China Sea to us for many months.
January 24th, 2021, just four days after the inauguration ceremony in Washington, DC, it was reported:
“Chinese bombers and fighter jets have entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone for the second day in a row in an unusual and provocative escalation of its military activities… Fifteen Chinese aircraft entered the Taiwanese defense zone on Sunday, Taiwan said, a day after 12 warplanes including eight nuclear-capable H-6K bombers entered the airspace between mainland Taiwan and the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands in the South China Sea.”
We are proclaiming in Jerusalem the power of the blood of Yeshua to protect Taiwan and the South China Sea.
We continue to proclaim Isaiah 27:1 over the South China Sea:
“In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, with His fierce and great and mighty sword, even Leviathan the twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.” – Isaiah 27:1 [NASB]
We also pray that Scripture over the Yellow Sea between China and South Korea, and over the East China Sea between China and Japan. We pray that Australia and India will arise into their calling as shields and barriers against the military plans of the Chinese Communist regime.
(For those who have not seen and read Patricia’s powerful revelation of Isaiah 27:1 about the “dragon who lives in the sea” following verses Isaiah 26:20,21 that could be prophetically applied to the international lockdowns, and the blood of aborted babies crying out, please follow this link.)
4. Loose Again His Lightning Towards Demonic Thrones Over Tehran, Ankara, and Moscow
In October 2019, the Lord gave me a vision during a morning watch in Succat Hallel. As I looked out our window, I saw the Lion of Judah on the Temple Mount wrapped in dark clouds.
Suddenly lightning strikes went out from Him to Ankara, Turkey; Moscow, Russia; and Tehran, Iran. As I was sharing this vision a few weeks later in an evening meeting, suddenly there was a major lightning storm (which is rare here).
As I proclaimed lightning going forth from Jerusalem to the demonic throne in Tehran, Iran there was a dramatic flash of lightning in that very direction! Then it happened again when proclaiming lightning to the demonic throne over Ankara, Turkey.
Lightning would seem to indicate very sudden, dramatic actions of the Lord. I believe one of these lightning strikes was the elimination of Iranian General Soleimani on January 3rd, 2020, who was arguably the most dangerous terrorist in the world and responsible for great amounts of innocent bloodshed all over the Middle East.
We are Proclaiming in Jerusalem:
Once again, let the voice of the Lord strike with flashes of lightning (Psalm 29:7) against the demonic thrones above Tehran, Ankara, and Moscow. May His lightning strikes severely set back demonic plans. May confusion and division come upon unholy alliances.
May Israel have the necessary leadership, courage, and wisdom to carry out covert warfare against accelerated Iranian plans to develop nuclear weapons, so that the innocent people in Iran will not be part of a physical war at this time.
5. Receive the Rees Howells Mantle to Turn the Tide In This Epic Global Battle
We are Praying in Jerusalem:
Lord, may Your intercessors all over the world receive the Rees Howells mantle to pray from the Third Heaven perspective, and properly discern times and seasons. May they see the turning of the tide in this epic global, spiritual battle.
May your intercessors not be distracted in their souls by the worldwide onslaught of spirits of anger, impatience, accusation, and division. May they stay focused on You, and Your sovereignty.
May we all be freed from trying to figure out the how and the when, and may we focus on the “Who”, which is You, the Sovereign King of the Universe and the Lord over the Times and Seasons.
Now is the time for us to trust You Lord through prayer and intercession.
Thank-you! We are blessed to receive clarity in prayer at
such a time as this. Praise God! I will share this Word with other intercessors.
From Allen Zaruba in Baltimore, MD USA. I stand in unity and prayer, in the name of Yeshua, our Lord Emmanuel.
Thank you Ps Rick for the prophetic word. Indeed the church cannot afford not to intercede, and we need to unite our hearts to intensify our efforts at thwarting all wicked schemes.
With every evil uprising may God answer with a sovereign outpouring.
Dear Rick and Patricia, thank you so much for this prophetic revelation you share with us in season. Your voice and revelations are for me the guidance I can’t wait to hear and pray into . We hear so many voices around us and it’s great to hear Gods voice clear and it helps me to keep focus, stay at peace and know God will guide us through each step of the road.
Blessings from SA.

Thank you Rick and Patricia . This is a serious call to prayer .
As a small Welsh fellowship , we were mandated by the Lord to intercede for Wales and Israel and were kindly given the night watches at the end of Feb 2020 at Succat Hallel . The Lord spoke of an umbilical connection between Wales and Israel and so am so encouraged to hear you declaring the Third Heaven Prayer times of Rees Howells et al .
We love you and pray for you . We are believing for a location to set up 24/7 prayer and worship with The Tabernacle of David as our vision . There is an area on a beautiful mountain top that we are trusting in faith for .
This week , in prayer on the mountain the Lord gave the word rekende which is Dutch and means foreclosure , to count on , reckon .
It was a word regarding this place on the mountain but really believe it’s a bigger word in the Spirit . Declaring foreclosure on the work and delaying tactics of the enemy . Felt prompted to share as soon as I read this .
I know you’re busy and don’t expect a reply . Shalom and God bless you from Wales , Beacon Church / Beit Shalom ministries . Jonathan
Another Welshman. Yes I also saw the connection Jump off the page but for different reasons, nevertheless connected. We are on the very edge of a precipice of extreme danger & it saddens me that so many are not questioning what God is doing in “shaking” the nations. The last time we saw this amount of Evil manoeuvring over free people was in 1933 & we know how that ended.
This is VASTLY different, its worldwide, incredibly well organised has been in the planning stages for over 50 + years. The flow of control is top down & in harmony via policy & law making via UN, W.E.F., I.M.F., WORLD BANK & B.I.S. The execution of the control mechanisms is via huge global supranational linked companies (The So called Elite Top 2000 Companies control of All Major Vaccine/Drug Suppliers, Energy, Communications, Food/Water supplies, Global Manufacturing & weapon developments) This then Filters down to National Governments and finally All forms of online & Offline Mass Media & localised government, forces, education & services.
The Narrative is always the same. The Information war is so advanced its impossible to track thoroughly. There is so much evidence of Deception, Domination & Control… you could write the paperwork on it for weeks on end…
Bless you, SHARPEN your weapons in the Spirit !
I thank God for you as you stand firm. Together we are strong in God. Amen.
Tq for sharing. God bless Wales and the Welsh communities.
Thank you for this encouragement. We stand in unity and prayer with you in Holland.
Thank you I always find your letters strategic and inspirational for the global picture.
Thank you so much for your prayer Letter… I will share this Word with friends who pray!!

We love you!!!!

So very blessed by this word, “Intercession Before Reaction”. August 2020, God said, prepare for what’s to come. Father said, He is God and He speaks to His Intercessors why are they always praying from a position of fixing and restoring. We are to be on the Offense not the Defense. Thank you Sir. Message heard and received. Will be Praying and sharing with other Intercessors. Blessings.
Amen! I declare Psalm 83 as a protection over Israel. It is not the appointed time for the war of Armageddon or World War 3. I agree with the Rees Howell Intercession annointing.
Thank you for these powerful words – it it so vital to remain focused on Yeshua and not on the world
For such a time as this……….the prayers of the people avail much….
The enemy has its evil plans but we have the Lion of the tribe of Judah amen!
Thanks for these excellent insights into our King’s strategy for turning the tide of this war and thwarting the enemy’s attempt to destroy an entire generation. May the Church rise up in unity and obedience and prayer, as never before, and throw down the ancient Accuser of the Brethren. May Your Kingdom come… on earth as it is in heaven!
Thank you for sharing the word that the Lord so generously shared with you. May Yeshua give us all ears to hear, eyes to see, discernment and wisdom to know how to stand united in this critical season. Your Kingdom come; your will be done on the earth as it is in Heaven dear Lord. Thank you Rick and Patricia for your faithfulness in prayer. I bless you.
Thank you Rick and Patricia for your faithfulness in prayer and sharing God’s direction in how to pray at this very critical time and season. I will share this information with our prayer intercessors as we pray for His Will to be done as earth as it is in heaven. God’s richest blessings to you!
Thank you Rick and Patricia for all that you do and have done for HIS Kingdom. Having been to Israel and Succat Hallel on a number of occassions, I know well the window you speak of and of looking at the Temple Mount. I wish I were there now.
Anyway, again thank you both for all you do!!! For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Rick and Patty, Thank you for your faithfulness in prayer over the years at Succat Hallel overseeing Mt. Zion. You all are pillars of peace spreading out from Israel to the nations. God bless and strengthen you for the days ahead!
May we Abide in His Presence.
May we , engage heart to His heart in intercession and worship on earth as it is in heaven.
He is Lord of the Breakthrough
Lord of Love…. Lord of Heaven and earth
So Uplifting & any focus to pray against these principalities & powers is a direct hit in any prayer, “Lord guide us what to pray”. While I can testify to known atrocities in these dictatorships where God’s fellow men, women & children have no voice, where is your balanced prayer & discernment on the current USA led information war, covert operations & black budget infiltration of peaceful states? There are thousands of whistle-blowers, many Christians trying to expose this great evil which lies at the root of the Babylonian control system firmly established in Washington DC & the City Of London. Please pray that these evil men & women sitting at the very top of the Military Industrial complex are exposed & stopped from their secret plans. Bless you all in what you do and together let us.. “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. “Ephesians 5.11
Thank you Rick and Patricia for imparting faithfully the Words and visions of the Lord which He entrusts to both of you. It is indeed a privilege these days, where we are all connected by internet, to share your burden and to join with you in prayer and intercessions, wherever we are, in declaring that Jesus is Lord and Abba’s plans for the World will be fulfilled according to scripture. Ruth
Yes, I agree seasons and time belong to the Almighty God. May He open our eyes to this seasons and time so that we can pray in decernment of His Will and that no weapon formed that will abort His good plans to especially His children’s return to their homeland. In Yeshua’s Name.
Abba Father, thank you for giving us this direction and clarity so we can be in agreement around the world as intercessors and watchmen on the wall of Justice. Thank you that the veil has been torn and we are invited to come boldly before your throne of grace to receive the mercy we don’t deserve and the grace that is sufficient in this hour of need. Bless this word to our hearts as we share it far and wide. In Yeshua’s name. Amein. Linda
Thank You very much for sharing how to interceed with revelation from the word and the and the Spirit of God.
Lord we thank you for this time and season to keep our eye on you and pray always lord keep us from distraction help is to forcus on you in Nashua name we pray
“How Blessed are the dead who die united with the Lord, from now on! ” (rev14: 13) It is a goal, to be attained. One who is in union with Him does not produce thorms or briars, since you have been in isaiah 22- 29, Baruch Ha Shem
Hello Ps Rick and Patricia
I am always so blessed and encouraged to read and hear the visions and wisdom Father God gives to you both. There is so much to pray about for our world we certainly need our Fathers perspective and guidance.
Bless you both so much and the beautiful nation of Israel.
With His love and thanks.
Allison Nicol NZ
Thanking you very much Ptr Rick For Giving with clarity How to pray. We are together in praying from UAE
Amen
Shalom,
I was reminded by your final prayer of the first few pages of “The Final Quest” by Rick Joyner… It seems so very timely with what has been happening in the world and in the established church over the last 2 years…
May we each have the grace of discernment and much wisdom in our prayers for, and response to the situations we each encounter.
🙏🏼
