This day is a very important day. It’s Friday the 9th of January, and this weekend is obviously the key weekend for what will happen to the Iranian regime. I felt it was important that this weekend we declare certain things because I believe this is a key time, and as most of you know for over 12 days the Iranian people have been in the streets, 101 cities, a huge protest, a revolution is underway
Numbers 14:9: Do Not be Afraid
I felt the Lord wanted us to proclaim today from Jerusalem, and I encourage you to proclaim this daily over the next few days. In the verse from Numbers where Joshua and Caleb are talking about the giants in the promised land that the others were so afraid of, they said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Their protection is gone.”
And I really believe the Lord helped us to understand a few years ago that that protection was an occult witchcraft shield of protection and that certain leaders at certain times come under the protection of witchcraft and occultism. It’s like a shield around them.
And at the beginning of the 24/7 here in Jerusalem, the Lord began to speak to us very clearly. We’ve been in four years of bus bombings and suicide bombings. We said, “Lord, we spent four years praying about this. What is the key?”
And we felt he released a key because there was a very evil man named Sheikh Yassin who was really stirring up the the bus bombings and the suicide bombings from where he lived in Gaza. And many times Israel had tried to eliminate him but they were not able.
Every time he would escape their their targeting of him by moments by minutes and and on a certain day we prayed this that his occult shield of protection would be taken away, and that he’d either repent and turn to the Lord or that he would be taken out of the place of stirring fermenting this suicide bombing that had been going on for years here.
And after we prayed, within a week or two he was outside. His aid said, “Don’t go outside.” But he said, “I’m protected by Allah. I don’t need to fear anything.” And he walked outside and suddenly he was hit by a missile and taken out immediately.
And there was not as I remember that there was not another successful bus bombing or suicide bombing in Jerusalem after that. The last successful bus bombing was at that time that he was taken out. So we felt the Lord say I felt the Lord say today that we need to proclaim that from Jerusalem.
Our Prayer: Continue to Remove Their Shields of Protection
So from Jerusalem today covered by the blood of Jesus, the blood of the lamb, the blood of Yeshua, I proclaim, let any kind of witchcraft occult shield of protection around the Ayatollah Kamenei and around those in the Iranian regime. Let any kind of shields of protection be removed from them.
Let them either repent or let them be removed and no longer be able even from another place to continue what they have been doing. But let their ability be totally broken and let their protection be gone..
So we proclaim today from Jerusalem over the Iranian regime. Their protection is gone..
And we proclaim that the lion of Judah is roaring as the lion on the flag of the Persian flag that is roaring over Persia, over Elam, over Iran today, over the Iranian regime and is taking away their cult shield of protection in the name of Yeshua.
Lord, we proclaim today that you are Lord God Almighty. From the very beginning, you’ve told us to proclaim the scriptures from Isaiah 49, , starting at verse 35, that you would come against Elam, which was the ancient provincial capital of Iran, representing, we believe at this time, the Iranian regime, and Iran.
And you said, I will break the bow of their might, the mainstay of their might, that you would break their military might and power.
And then we thank you in verse 38 where you said that I will set my throne in Elam and I will destroy her king and officials. And as I believe you showed me this morning during worship and prayer here at Succat Hallel, that the ancient kings would set their throne in front of a city that they had been besieging when it was time for the final breakthrough and the taking of that city.
And they would proclaim from a throne judgment upon that city. In ancient times, thrones were set in front of a city for judgment. So, we proclaim that the throne of the Lord is set in Elam for the judgment of her king and officials of the Ayatollah and her officials in the name of Yeshua.
Thank you, Lord, for what you are doing to liberate your dear people in Iran who’ve paid such a price for their freedom. And we thank you that it will also liberate Israel and liberate the Middle East, that this will be a major turning point now for the final uprooting of these jihadist groups of the Iranian regime, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.
And we declare this from Jerusalem in the name and by the blood of Yeshua the Messiah. Amen.
