On the 16th, we flew early in the morning from Atlanta, GA to Washington DC for a day trip to pray for our own country.\u00a0 And would you believe, we saw the darndest thing! \u2026 Jesus was at the capitol!\u00a0 \u201cCapitol Jesus!\u201d\u00a0 I wish that I had captured a picture of it, but a man had just removed Him (the life size model of Jesus) standing on the sidewalk of the capitol building and packed him in the back of his mini van. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, that might sound odd and it may look like He has been removed &#8211; \u201cJesus left the capitol\u201d \u2026 but I am here to tell you &#8211; NOT SO!\u00a0 The Lord gave Nancy a powerful word regarding America and the \u201cinside scoop\u201d of what is going on within the walls of the capitol building.\u00a0 I think you will be very encouraged to not lose hope for America and continue to pray mightily for the decisions our leaders are encountering.\u00a0 Yes, your prayers matter!\u00a0 The Lord gave Nancy a very revitalizing word about your prayers for our country and its governmental leaders. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While in D.C., we had 6 hours to prayer walk the places the Lord gave Nancy:\u00a0 The White House, U.S. Treasury, U.S. Customs &amp; Borders, IRS, FBI, Dept. of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, Capitol Building, &amp; Supreme Court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We walked and prayed, stopping at each targeted building.\u00a0 The Capitol was much more specific.\u00a0 We stood at the eastern side of the capitol and repented; Again using the emblems of the 21 link chain, oil, red ribbon trimmed with gold, a heart, a dime, and the scriptures describing the 21 characteristic of a hypocrite and the 21 things which men will do in the last days (Matt. 23:2-33 &amp; 2 Tim. 3:2-5).\u00a0\u00a0 Then the outpouring! \u2026. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Lord showed Nancy two tables:\u00a0 Each table with groups of people.\u00a0 The one side was filled with lots of beautifully packaged gifts and those in front of the gifts were happily smiling, yet behind their backs they had their fingers crossed.\u00a0 On the other side \u2026 no gifts, but people full of peace and a pure hearts with opened hands.\u00a0 This side also was both men and women (but mostly men)\u2026. older people &#8211; \u201cthe mature\u201d.\u00a0 Yet, this side was also full of battle wounds and bandages from heat to toe \u2026 including their backs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nancy\u2019s initial thought was that the gifts were from the Lord, but it wasn\u2019t settling right in her spirt.\u00a0 When she questioned the Lord, He said the gifts are \u201cpay offs for positions \u2026 kickbacks for personal gain.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Those with out the gifts are those leaders who are stationed to be steadfast.\u00a0 They could have left their political office long ago because of such unfairness, yet they chose to hold their post and protect and defend the nation of America.\u00a0 They are chose to lay down their lives for righteousness and not personal gain \u2026 or personal gifts! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do your prayers matter?\u00a0 The Lord said pray for these soldiers who are wounded in battle but are standing their posts because it is the right thing \u2026 the righteous thing to do!\u00a0 Pray that they are strengthened and encouraged to be bold and strong!\u00a0\u00a0 Pray their hope and strength in renewed and refreshed!\u00a0 Pray that their eyes of understanding be wide open!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As we were walking away from the capitol, Nancy had a vision of thousands upon thousands of fiery missiles hitting D.C., multiple missiles from every direction, but mostly from the west.\u00a0\u00a0 Nancy was like \u201cOh no!\u201d \u2026 but the Lord said those are flaming missiles of prayers!\u00a0 Wow!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not by might, nor power, but by HIS Spirit (Zech. 4:6) \u2026. this is not a struggle of flesh and blood but of spiritual darkness in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I was reminded of Gideon\u2019s dilemma in Judges chapter 6.\u00a0 The Lord told Gideon to \u201cgo in your strength and deliver\u2026Have I not sent you?\u201d (vs. 14).\u00a0 Yet Gideon reminded the Lord his family was the least.\u00a0 And, not only did God choose the \u201cleast\u201d he also took the least and refined them to even fewer in number (Chap. 7).\u00a0 This God of Gideon is STILL ON HIS THRONE today!\u00a0 \u2026 and HE is OUR God!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saints, \u201cGideons&#8221; \u2026 keep praying \u2026 the Lord has chosen you so that HE can demonstrate His power!\u00a0 It is hard to comprehend, but Gideon\u2019s army of a mere 300 defeated an army described with numbers\u00a0 like this:\u00a0 an army as numerous as locust \u2026 camels without numbers \u2026 as numerous as the sands on the seashore (Judges 6:12).\u00a0 Imagine yourself standing with a few of your trusted friends and your standing against your entire city \u2026 who wins the battle?\u00a0 By appearance of the world, it is not you and your friends \u2026 BUT God says it is the few whom HE has chosen to win \u2026 not because of their power &#8211; but HIS power!\u00a0 And if God be for us, who can be against us? (Ro. 8:31).\u00a0 Only by HIS WORD; His Spirit! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, be encouraged!\u00a0 The Lord also told Nancy (and repeated Himself several times) \u201cI love America!\u201d\u00a0 I don\u2019t think He was repeating Himself because Nancy didn\u2019t hear Him; \u2026. she did &#8211; the first time He said it!\u00a0 I think He wanted to emphasis the fact that He loves America \u2026 The nation build on the foundation of Himself! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stand firm at your post and pray for our leaders &#8211; for those with their hands opened AND for those with fingers crossed \u2026 because like Gideon &#8211; God will deliver!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Jerusalem.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"169\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/pointtohope.com\/?attachment_id=169\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Jerusalem.jpg?fit=5472%2C2559&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"5472,2559\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;11&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 70D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1436072527&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;48&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Jerusalem\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Jerusalem.jpg?fit=1024%2C478&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-169\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Jerusalem.jpg?resize=300%2C140&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jerusalem\" width=\"300\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Jerusalem.jpg?resize=300%2C140&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Jerusalem.jpg?resize=1024%2C478&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Jerusalem.jpg?resize=1025%2C479&amp;ssl=1 1025w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Jerusalem.jpg?w=2050&amp;ssl=1 2050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Jerusalem.jpg?w=3075&amp;ssl=1 3075w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I haven\u2019t had a chance to send out a report about our time an Israel.\u00a0 However, Nancy had been texting notes to her husband, Henry regarding our day.\u00a0 Thus, I thought you might enjoy reading reports from Henry that he was sending out to some intercessors regarding our time in Israel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Notes from Henry: \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wednesday, July 01, 2015 11:26 AM<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nancy and Sarah arrived in Tel Aviv at 2:00 pm Israel time (3 am Alaska time \u2013 7 pm Hong Kong time)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Passed through customs and immigration with no problems.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Driver and taxi were there to pick them up.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Flight was very \u201ceasy\u201d 4 hours.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">They expressed how much God has been pouring forth amazing favor over them through the entire time of this summer ministry.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">They had dinner, walked around taking care of a few errands, and have now gone to bed for much needed rest.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">+++++<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">FYI: Nancy did express once more, a heavy sadness for the people of Russia;

Just as David\u2019s mighty men (warrior\u2019s in their own right) formed around their king to hold him up, so we shall in prayer, come around Nancy and Sarah to see God\u2019s assignment for Israel l completed.

They were there without incident for almost an hour. The police station had them go around and see all of the missile fragments retrieved from attacks coming from Gaza. This was very emotional for them and for their driver almost bringing him to tears with thankfulness for their prayers. Nancy and Sarah prayed, repented, rejoiced, and gave thanksgiving; for as Nancy related to me\u2026..God says He has ears to hear &#8212;and has heard us all and is listening to the prayers for Sderot and for Gaza.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bombtails.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"168\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/pointtohope.com\/?attachment_id=168\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bombtails.jpg?fit=3264%2C2448&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3264,2448\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1436436983&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000555864369094&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bombtails\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bombtails.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-168\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bombtails.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"bombtails\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bombtails.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bombtails.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bombtails.jpg?resize=175%2C131&amp;ssl=1 175w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bombtails.jpg?resize=666%2C500&amp;ssl=1 666w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bombtails.jpg?w=2050&amp;ssl=1 2050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pointtohope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bombtails.jpg?w=3075&amp;ssl=1 3075w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> &#8220;Bomb tails&#8221; shot from Gaza into Sderot area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One of the their prayer concerns was for the children of the city. Liz had sent Nancy a text with information that approximately 70% of the children suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) due to the rockets and explosions. It is extremely stressful living there. For example, in Tel Aviv, there is approximately 40 sec when the missile sirens sound to find the way to a nearby bomb shelter. In Sderot there is less than 15 sec so even school playgrounds have bomb shelters incorporated in the playground equipment. Be aware, from what I can research, many Jewish people \u201cchoose\u201d to live there. Nancy and Sarah prayed for children, but also parents, other adults, local and national leaders, and all in Israel who are to some degree, also affected by PTSD\u2026..<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nancy and Sarah also prayed outside the city along the highway that faces Gaza. This area is within 800 meters (about a half-mile) from the Gaza boundary fence. They prayed for Sderot but also for the people of Gaza, that they would be given a honest and true resolution to their physical, emotional and spiritual misery and hopelessness. They declared prophetically\u2026..that God has an ultimate plan calling Sderot &#8211; and they will send in Gospel missiles into Gaza, and Jesus\u2019 name will be on the tip.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">They also prayed for all the borders of Israel and all of the countries touching the Mediterranean sea as Israel does.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nancy and Sarah expressed much thanks to all for the powerful prayer coverage.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">They went back to their hotel with great intentions of swimming in the \u201csafe\u201d Mediterranean but \u201cjelly fish\u201d season is arriving (some as big as a volleyball). Is this prophetic (?) possibly.\u00a0 Consider, sometimes that which is beautiful and appears harmless (jelly fish) can truly be deadly. Even in a place we have deemed as being safe (Mediterranean Beach in Tel Aviv). I suspect we need to be ramping up prayer as God\u2019s watchmen and intercessor\u2019s for Nancy and Sarah\u2019s eyes to be opened, so they may see like the Eagle as the Holy Spirit gives them vision, so they may see in ways and to a depth they have not seen previously, whether when viewing something new, or something they have seen many times before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Blessings your brother in Christ, Henry<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">________________________________________________________________________<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">On Jul 14, 2015, at 1:56 PM:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nancy and Sarah are on their way to the airport for their journey to Atlanta.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Certainly please pray for traveling mercies, but also especially be lifting Nancy up as her INR blood thinner reading was a bit low.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Adjustments are being made.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prayer will make all the difference.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Blessings, Henry<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">On Jul 16, 2015, at 12:23 AM,:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nancy and Sarah landed in Atlanta on-time and told of the extraordinary favor they received on the journey&#8230;..first to load on the plane, bypassing 200+ people when they went through immigration on entering USA\u2026..as 200+ Nancy said No Lines &#8211; No Waiting &#8211; continual called to the front\u2026..though they were able to get some sleep on the plane they were exceedingly tired&#8230;..and checked into their hotel, quickly ate and then even more quickly went right to sleep.\u00a0 They are off tomorrow for Washington DC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Blessings, Henry<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So \u2026 now in Augusta, Georgia area: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thank you for your continued prayers for Nancy \/ Point To Hope Ministries.\u00a0 You can see a detailed itinerary on the website:\u00a0 www.pointtohope.org\u00a0 There are daily meetings scheduled; sometimes more than one a day: not to mention, needs come up that are not on the schedule.\u00a0 We thank you so much for your prayer coverage!\u00a0 Please continue to pray for safety on the roads, and strength in our natural beings to carry out His supernatural \u201cBe\u2019s\u201d \u2026 Let it Be so, Amen! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I just want to close with this.\u00a0 Yes, there is an itinerary of \u201cscheduled meetings\u201d for this ministry, but I want to remind you and encourage you in this:\u00a0 \u201cYOU\u201d are this ministry \u2026 we are ONE body!\u00a0 The other day we were driving to a Sunday AM meeting and we had been receiving texts and messages thanking us for our obedience and faithfulness to go.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t help but think this &#8211; to me YOU are the obedient!\u00a0 \u2026 Greater is the obedience of those who carry on in their day to day routine that life demands and still YOU are faithful and obedience to pray as the Lord leads whether or not you see or hear.\u00a0 That\u2019s faithful in my mind.\u00a0 Thank you!\u00a0 We are all at war regardless if at home or on the field. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Again, we are so thankful for for your prayer coverage!\u00a0 We love the people of all nations but there is nothing like home!\u00a0 It is great to be back in America!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Love and blessings to all!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sincerely,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sarah Tarter<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">PTH Prayer Facilitator<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 21, 2015 Dear PTH Intercessors \/ Friends, Nancy and I arrived back in the USA the evening of July 15th.
