Jerusalem, Israel
September 9, 2022 PRAYER UPDATE
Israel and the Nations
A word about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II:
We pray for all those who are mourning in Great Britain and throughout the world...
That the Lord would give you a crown 👑 of
beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair (from Isaiah 61).
The rainbows that
were seen over Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace on the day of her death (September 8, 2022), were a
sign of comfort from the Lord to the British people.
It is a
time of great mourning for Britain and its provinces. And, a time to
pray for the people because they have lost a “mother” figure of
strength, and perceived stability and security.
A large kingdom was established during the time of the British kings that is already shrinking.
The
times coming will not be the same as it was during the Queen's 70 year
reign, and that is part of what the mourning is all about. People know,
instinctively, that not only has an era past, but someone that was
blessed in her service to the Lord and to the British people, also has
passed.
For the majority of the British people the Queen was
around since the time of their birth. They have always had a queen in
their lives!
The shakings are now
coming faster and stronger, especially on a governmental global level.
The birth pangs are coming suddenly (as her death seemed sudden to
many). Yet, there have long been preparations for a smooth transition of
royal power (as the current "London Bridge" transition operation
testifies). This is the steadfast way of the Lord.
Charles has
become King Charles III. May his life become surrendered to the Lord as
his mother's was. There is a global shift taking place. The British and
others cannot depend on the comfort and security of a queen, or king,
or any royal. The world cannot depend on any earthly ruler!
There
will continue to be these quick and significant changes which produce
trauma in the lives of individuals. We must be like the 5 wise virgins
who were prepared with enough oil in their lamps, ready and waiting for
His coming. He is our security and stability. His Kingdom is not of this
world.
This is a new season where we will have to come up
higher in order to handle the changes coming. We need to shift our
dependence not on the kings of the earth, but on the King of Kings, with
the comfort that only comes from His Spirit.
The sense is that
this new season is going to involve more shifts in royalty, with the
rise and downfall of monarchies, because it is a sign of kingdoms
divided, and rising, and falling again. (Matthew 24:7).
The
kingdoms of this world, WILL become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His
Messiah, and He shall reign forever and ever. (Revelation 11:15).
All these signs point to Him!
