ELAV Day 2

Today was an amazing day. It was filled with worship, impartation and the Spirit of God. That's been something that has really struck me about this conference - the Holy Spirit's presence has been so strong and thick in a ll the worship times and sessions. It's amazing to be in His presence. Getting out out of Jerusalem and experiencing this sweet presence made me realize how in need of refreshing I was! My eyes do not stay dry for long in the worship times, for I am so overcome by His goodness to come and meet me again and again.

It seemed like unity was our theme today. We had worship sets in Hebrew, Arabic and English! Very exciting. We had a special time of prayer with the youth, where Jews prayed for gentiles and vice versa - just blessing each other. Tonight was a big night in the fact that we had Matt Gilman (IHOP KC) lead worship and our speaker was Heidi Baker. It was POWERFUL! Matt lead an amazing time that had hundreds of us dancing, completely undignified for our King, and then on our knees weeping in awe of God's holiness. It was so anointed and Holy Spirit was moving. Heidi Baker spoke about how sometimes it takes realizing just how blind we are to able to be used by God to heal the blind. The evening ended with an intense fire tunnel. For those of you who are not familiar with this form of prayer ministry, a fire tunnel is when people (the youth in this case) walk in between 2 rows of people (the leaders of the conference and spiritual leaders in Israel) to receive prayer and laying on hands. It was a great time for the youth to receive impartation from the generations ahead of us and opened the door for Holy Spirit to come in and taking control - changing lives forever.

We also heard two exciting healing testimonies today from Israeli youth. An Ethiopian Jewish guy who prayed for a deaf and mute Arab guy who was healed and a Jewish young woman who prayed for a blind man who was healed! More Lord! It IS happening! Continuing praying that God will use His people to bring healing and blessing to the nations and that He would raise up this generation!

A quick praise report - James, one of our worship leaders who had lost his voice at the beginning of the week is feeling much better and will be able to lead his set tomorrow morning! Thank you to all of you who prayed! This was a great healing from Abba.

Another quick prayer point - A prophetic word came out today through Esther Ridings (daughter of Rick and Patti Ridings, founders of Succat Hallel) about the spirits over this nation. A spirit of rejection, a spirit of hopelessness and a spirit of death. I can testify to how true these are and how much they need to be removed through intercession and spiritual warfare. Please join us!

Well, it's another full day tomorrow! Please be praying that our last day goes great, that the youth will seize every opportunity to get what God has for them this weekend and that everything will run smoothly. Good night and Shabbat Shalom!

P.S. Here's a video of Matt Gilman singing one of the songs that he palyed tonight - "Holy" It was such a powerful time of worship and I wanted you all to experience part of it. Enjoy!
