Shabbat Shalom from Israel!
I pray all are blessed as we
approach His time of rest! Things are
going well here in the North and have been quiet since Sunday. I am so thankful to have my earthly Abba
(Father) here with me now and to have my heavenly Abba Yahweh with us
everywhere we go. We have gotten much
accomplished here in the land in just four days of Him being here.
We have gone to the high places of
the Golan Heights and prayed against the enemies of Israel on the Lebanese and
Syrian borders. We also visited the
ancient pagan Temple of Pan in Banias, we prayed, spoke proclamations against
it and blew the shofars (trumpets). Banias
is near Caesarea Philippi as found in Matt 16:13-19 when Yahshua asked His
disciples “whom do you say me to be.” The
significance of this place is that Yahshua brought His followers to a temple of
pagan worship (Banias) to reveal himself to them. In verse 18 He says to Peter “And I also say
to you that you are Peter (which means small pebble) and on this rock (Yahshua
the Messiah) I will build by assembly and the gates of Hades will not prevail
against her.” Banias is a massive rock
wall that has ancient pagan alters to Zeus, Pan and other gods. He used this as a backdrop to give a visual to
the 12 that he was the rock of their salvation not these manmade silly gods. It was a place of death and many sacrifices to
the pagan deities. Yahshua made it clear that He was about to be offered up as
the ultimate sacrifice in the following verses. Also, that Hades shall not prevail against the
Father and the Son.
Today we visited and prayed over the
worldwide center for the practice of Kabbalah in Zefat. This is a serious
spiritual stronghold not only here in Israel but also throughout the world. The practice of Kabbalah has become the new
hip religion with the New Age movement and Hollywood alike. Next time you see your favorite actor on the
red carpet see if you notice a little red string tied around their arm. That is sure sign they are involved in this
practice of Jewish mysticism/witchcraft.
We have been blessed everywhere we
have been, no hassles (other than Israeli traffic) or problems of any kind thus
far. I am thankful for all of you who
are keeping Dad and me in your prayers. Please continue to cover us in this
much needed prayer and share with others these experiences we are having.
On top of all this the Israeli Knesset has been dissolved in
the past week and the country as a whole is in a very vulnerable state: http://www.timesofisrael.com/knesset-votes-unanimously-to-dissolve-ushering-in-new-elections/
We must continue to pray for Israel and for unity to return to the land to keep them strong as the entire planet politically and spiritually is turning against them.
I will be in touch soon with another update on what is happening
around the land and what we get into too in our travels. Blessings and Shabbat
Shalom!
With
Love,
Joshua and Perry Ennis
