Our contacts in Hungary informed us that a new door has opened for us to minister in a Pentecostal Church there; but our contact in Bulgaria wrote and asked for fervent prayer because it seems the door to minister in the church in Bucarest, Romania was closing.
We wrapped ourselves in a tallit early this morning and went before the LORD. We prayed 
powerful, mighty proclamations and prophecies over the nations of Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary where we will soon minister the love of Yeshua and teach His Truth to the churches. As we moved into the flow of the Holy Spirit, I began speaking these words over our ministry there: "Father, You have had us hidden for several years now; we have been abiding in Your Word and hiding it in our hearts. Now You have called us to go and so with joy we go to wrap Your arms of love around the people of Eastern Europe. O God, we pray that scales would fall from their eyes and their ears would open to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. We call down the strongholds of anti-Semitism and we go to teach the people to learn of their inheritance in the promises given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and celebrate their grafting into the olive tree of Israel. Remove the stones! Raise up the highways!

Remove the stones! Raise up the highways! Father, I believe you called John from his mother's womb and then caused him to spend all these years filling his heart and mind with your Word. Now make your Word to be like an arrow in our hands, that we can shoot into the hearts of Bulgarian, Romanian and Hungarian people! We know you have a great destiny for these nations, and You are calling out a remnant. Abba, make us to be the Light of Yeshua, dispelling darkness in these nations, beckoning the tribes of Israel to learn of their Messiah and return to worship You on Your Holy mountain!"
Then I began to sing in the Spirit and in my vision I saw John and me putting our arms around children and elderly people; and I saw some being healed and others receiving salvation for the first time. When my singing stopped and we sat in the stillness, I heard the Spirit say three times: "Now read Isaiah 49 as I AM speaking this over you for this trip." Although we know these words were originally written as prophecy about Yeshua the Messiah, God's words from this chapter echoed the words of our prayer in such exact detail that our hearts were moved to tears!
Isaiah 49:1-2, 5-6, 8-9
"Listen to me, you islands, and hear this you, distant nations: before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth He has made mention of my name. He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver....And now the LORD says - he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength. He says: 'It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth'...This is what the LORD says: 'In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances, to say to the captives, 'Come out,' and to those in darkness, 'Be free!' I will turn all my mountains into roads and my highways will be raised up."
What thrilling confirmation of all He is planning to do as we journey now through Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary and Israel! We covet your prayers - and believe that they will form a shield of protection over us. Pray that the doors for ministry in Romania will fling back open and all hindrances be removed. When next you hear from me, it will be of great testimonies of restoration and salvation!
