This banner was prepared by Deborah Robertson from Ireland. She was inspired to paint this after a vision seen by Rania. The nursing mothers of the land will become like lionesses arising as they break out of bondage.

“For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

Romans 8:15

“Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she brought forth her children.” 

Isaiah 66:8

The Lord moved powerfully during our last women’s conference in September. We had powerful times of ministry, breaking the spirit of the hatred of men, releasing a spirit of adoption, and growing in the prophetic. We were blessed to have several friends from 10 nations  partner with us in ministering to the Arab women. We had workshops on prophetic intercession with Lila Terhune, prophetic worship with Julie Meyer, and prophetic art with Meg Jones & Luna Matar. We also had our beautiful friends like Lilo Keller (Switzerland), Briskilla Zaniniri (USA), and Elin Fagerbake (Norway) as our speakers. We had powerful times of worship led in Arabic by Jesura Adrenaly & Ikhlas Sadran. We also invited Julie Meyer to lead us in English, and our Messianic Jewish sister, Sarah Liberman, in Hebrew.

On the first evening of the conference we had an incredibly powerful & moving play led by Jesura. The play was based off two identical dreams that two women had in our community a few months before the conference. The play depicted a busy woman who gave birth to a baby girl. The new mother was very busy and distracted by many things. She kept putting off feeding her new little girl, which caused the baby to die. Struck with grief and desperation, the woman began crying out to God while holding her lifeless baby girl. The mother suddenly had the idea to hold her baby girl to her breast, and even though she was gone, she tried to feed her. As she did this, the milk began to come out, and the baby girl was resurrected! Jesura depicted this play so beautifully and it moved many of the women at the conference.

During the gathering we also dealt with the spirit of the hatred of men.  We had Pastor Majdy, a father in the land, share with the women about how valuable he sees them, how they are each like a pearl in the hand of the Lord.  Pastor Majdy also shared how he feels the heart of God for the Arab women who experience a lot of oppression. In a male dominated community, the voices of the women are silenced, and often suffer both verbal and emotional abuse.  He began to ask the women for forgiveness on behalf of men.  There were four other men, representing Jew, Arab, & Gentile, that stood with Pastor Majdy asking for forgiveness with an incredible display of brokenness & humility.

There was a lot of deep silence in the hearts of the women, because they did not know how to act or respond to the men’s humility.  In the Spirit, we could see a huge wall that seemed almost impossible to break. This wall represented the burden of many, many years of pain.  It looked like Pastor Majdy was pounding that big wall, but it was not coming down in the hearts of the wounded women. We were calling to the Lord for breakthrough!  As the men were repenting, Rania asked the mothers of the land to come forward.  In a powerful act of humility, Pastor Majdy went on his knees bowing down to wash the feet of these mothers.  In this moment, the heavens opened, and the wall was shattered!  This act of humility and lowliness, the men’s face literally on the floor, broke open the heavens and released a powerful breakthrough!

As they were touching the feet of the mothers, one of the mothers began wailing and travail was released. This travail shifted the whole atmosphere in the room, and many of the women began to cry and travail as well. When this happened, one of the Arab male leaders from the land, Bassem, began to ask for forgiveness on behalf of leaders in the Church for silencing the voices of the women. He began declaring freedom over them to be positioned back into their rightful place & right identity in the Church. The Lord was opening a deep ancient well of healing, and began to heal the wombs of the daughters of the land. We believe the healing of the wombs will break open the land for another wave of His Glory and Spirit to blow.
