Intercessors To Israel

In May of 2025, the Lord called me, my husband, and our four children to Israel. The months leading up to our official call and departure, was a season of powerful encounters with the Lord, dreams, prophetic words, angelic visitations as well as intense warfare that ended with Jesus appearing to my five-year-old son, giving him the key to the departure we had waited for: the date to leave. We were to leave in 13 days for France and Israel. By God’s grace the we had just received everyone’s passports as the Lord prompted my husband a few months prior to get expedited passports for the whole family. With little time to prepare, we departed for the nations exactly 13 days later!

We had no time to research locations or make plans like you would for a multination trip for a family of six. It was clear the Holy Spirit was to be our guide. We felt unprepared in many ways, yet it is God who calls and God who makes the way. He often choses the least likely among us so that His strength can be made manifest in our weakness.

But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 

1 Corinthians 1:27-29

Three weeks later, after first visiting Paris, we arrived in Tel Aviv with faith in their hearts that God had brought us to Israel for that exact moment. Days after our arrival, at 3:00 A.M., we were jolted awake to the screaming sound of sirens with an emergency notification alert on our phones in Hebrew informing us to seek immediate shelter and prepare for counterstrike. Israel had just attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities. The 12 Day War with Iran had begun. The Lord had strategically brought us to Israel ahead of the war as intercessors to decree and apply the blood of Jesus in prayer over the people, the nation, and the region. Even our four young children, ages two, five, seven, and nine-years old, were chosen intercessors as stated in Psalm 8, which Jesus quoted regarding the “perfected praise” of children upon cleansing the temple in Matthew 21.

    Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
    to still the enemy and the avenger.

Psalm 8:3

“We saw many miracles, signs, and wonders.”

The Jews we met did not believe Jesus was the Messiah, but upon sharing our testimony with them, they were filled with the Fear of The Lord, tears, shaking, and a sensation all over their body that rattled them. Those experiencing the power of God asked, “what is happening to me? I feel pricks all over me!” Others called out to family members in Hebrew to come near and hear our story with wonder and amazement.

Not only was the war with Iran happening, but the war with Gaza was ongoing. There were almost no tourists in Israel at this time. For us to travel during the Gaza war, with our four young children, none of us Jewish, with no family in Israel, and to add on top of that, the war with Iran, we came across as noticeably unusual to locals. We had come with an assignment from God. The Jews we spoke to believed our testimony was true: that we were indeed sent by God. Though they could not reconcile what they felt in their heart with their own understanding, they believed us and believed we knew their God.

Their spirits responded to the Messiah though they did not know Him yet! Because of all this, we were given favor to pray and testify to the Jews. We could feel the fire of the Holy Spirit fill the people as we prayed and watched as the spirit of prophecy went forth out of our mouths. We were a sign and a wonder to the Jews that perhaps is was true that Yeshua was indeed the Messiah.

The Incredible French Connection

What was truly remarkable in all this was that we had traveled to Paris before arriving in Israel according to the directions the Lord gave to my five-years-old son. While still at home in Tennessee, the only prayer lead I had from the Holy Spirit regarding France was a vision I saw of us at Palace Élysée, praying for President Emmanuel Macron. And so we did just that. In the Tuileries Garden we anointed our heads and shoes with oil, prayed, and began to diligently proceed to the presidents home. We prayed specifically for the heart of President Macron, for the Holy Spirit to flood him, for his salvation, for the blessing and favor of God to be upon him in repentance and mercy, and for his heart to change towards Israel.

It was a beautiful time of prayer in Paris, yet the timing didn’t make a lot of sense to us in the flesh. Why should we go to Paris on the our way to Israel? It seemed as though Paris would be better reserved for a different trip, however once the the war between Israel and Iran erupted without warning, it made the most remarkable sense why the Lord had us pray for President Macron first. It suddenly became of the utmost importance that the French President, who had (and has) been leading the world in the creation of a Palestinian state, give unwavering support to Israel, if such a thing could even be possible. To the amazement of the world, at the opening of the war, Emmanuel Macron came out boldly supporting Israel’s right to defend itself and condemning Iran for their nuclear program.

This was believed to be a watershed moment that set the tone for how all other pro-Palestinian nations responded, mitigating further escalations of violence in the Middle East, outside of Israel and Iran, bringing a swift and favorable end to the war for Israel and greater safety in the Middle East. If we step back, we can see how the Israeli conflict with Iran, which brought American involvement, played a significant role in setting the stage for the ongoing revolution in Iran that followed just months later. Iran had the world’s attention and its citizens saw Israel, America, France, and cascade of additional nations, support them in seeing their need for freedom from the oppressive Islamic regime.

God is truly incredible! We must never forget how one act of obedience unto the Lord, can change the world!

God’s timing of everything , even lining up our itinerary to pray first in Paris for President Macron before traveling to Israel, was beyond astounding. We truly serve a real God. He cares for every last detail. We can see just how “in-the-details” He truly is when we yield and submit to His ways, not our own.

Returning to Israel In 2026

Upon returning home, the Lord continued to put Israel on my entire family’s heart. I continued to think, dream, and pray for Israel. Despite the shocking effects of the war, my children would ask me at bedtime, “when will we go back to Israel, Mama?”

Several months later, one Monday morning while I was washing dishes in my kitchen, the LORD encountered me in a vision. The LORD showed me myself with a group of believers on a tour bus in Israel. I thought, yes, someone should organize that! The Holy Spirit answered me and said that I was the one to plan the trip! The Holy Spirit guided the rest of the details!

Now is the time to arise and go to the promise land in faith! Will you answer the Father as He calls out for you to be gathered to Him on His holy mountain?

October 2026 is just around the corner, don’t miss this once and a lifetimes gathering of the saints in the holy land!
