DAY 1 WE'RE HERE



WE ARE IN ISRAEL!! This will be a very fast update as we leave in a short bit. But, we at least wanted to send you a quick note.

Day 1 We arrived safely after a long day of flying. We traveled north from Tel Aviv along the coast toward Haifa. On the way we stopped in the ancient port town of Ceasera, put our feet in the Mediterranean Sea and Prayed…. Habbakkuk 3:17 & Eze. 47 that the Glory of the Lord would be as a river that would cover the earth like the waters cover the sea. It was dusk as we stood along the shore, but we were so very excited to be touching the waters and standing upon the land feeling the sands beneath our feet

We traveled then to Haifa another port town and proceeded to our hotel situated on the highest point on Mt. Carmel overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. We had a Shabbat feast at the hotel & our tour guide actually prayed with us at the table in the restaurant as we partook of communion right at our table. It was a precious time and the food was wonderful, much of which we had not tasted before. But, we were very brave and partook of things that were indeed a bit foreign. It brought to mind the bridegroom feast spoken of in Revelation.

After dinner we had Prayer from one of our rooms overlooking the night skyline and the Mediterranean Sea. Amazingly the window opened from our 11th floor hotel room! We released prayer & worship into the open skies with the stars overhead. Barb even played her flute through the window. We prayed for winds… water, water, water…. that the Spirit of Elijah would come [since this is actually the spot where he was] We also prayed for ….rain, wind, fire….. Ps 24… the King of Glory would come… a release of signs & wonders… Isaiah 35 the splendor of Carmel and Sharon…that Israel will indeed see the glory of the Lord and the splendor of our God. We were facing west & we began calling the Jews back to the land… Our time was precious and powerful…and very overwhelming as many of us had never been to the land before. God was good to show up as always. We are very humbled to be here as His hands and feet and release the cries of His heart. . How good God is to have brought us here. Thank you for your prayers!! The eye of God team.

Hi Mom (and everyone else),
I got the chills when reading about your prayers for the water sources, your trip to Galilee, and your prayer for signs and wonders. I really feel like God was touching my heart as I read your blog. Keep it up!! You'll be in my prayers:)
