Arab Deborah’s Arising Women’s Conference Praise Report | 6th -7th September 2019

The most recent Arab Deborahs Arising Women’s Conference was a powerful gathering at the Legacy Hotel in Nazareth. We had 70 Arab women and 4 Jewish women in attendance for this conference. We also had a wonderful international team of 10 people that came alongside us to support and minister to the women of this land in prayer. Some of the international team were from HeartSync ministries.

The vision for this conference was to teach the HeartSync model through training and equipping women in leadership in the Arab Church. Our prayer is that they will use this tool to carry healing to their churches and their communities. We provided each woman with a HeartSync booklet that was translated into Arabic. These booklets are a helpful tool for each of the women to take the HeartSync model to their church communities.

The opening session of the conference began with Rania sharing about the kairos timing of the gathering and the importance of the location for this women’s conference. Just a few meters away from the Legacy Hotel is the Synagogue Church where Jesus declared Isaiah 61, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me…” We believe that God opened for us a scroll at this moment in time as we gathered in Nazareth and that He was releasing to us new revelations of His promise coming to fulfillment. There was a fresh, new power and anointing from the Holy Spirit. Together we stood and declared from Luke 4 that today, “it has been fulfilled upon our hearing.”

It was a great privilege to have Father Andrew, the founder, and director of HeartSync, teach us about healing the broken-hearted through the HeartSync method. During these two days of teaching, we also had powerful times of worship with Ruth Fazal and several Arab worship leaders from different churches. Both days Jesura Adrenaly blessed us all by playing out two chapters from the Bible. The first day she recited aloud Isaiah 61 from memory and acted it out as a drama. She included several women from the audience in this drama that left a deep impact on people’s hearts, many were moved to tears. On the second day, Jesura continued to surprise us by acting out Psalm 18 as a drama, while reading it out loud from heart. The declaration of this Psalm was very powerful, and we felt this Psalm was an opening of a new prophetic season and the closing of the old in our lives.

At the end of each day, we had time for ministering to the women. The first day, we presented a gift of a necklace to each woman that had been donated to us by our Chinese family. There were two kinds of necklaces. One said, “Set me as a seal upon your heart.” And the other said, “Then sings my soul.” As they received the necklace, they also received a time of prayer and ministry. The exciting testimonies of hearts being healed from this day were very encouraging. We have seen eight healing miracles that took place, and six of them were creative miracles such as legs growing!

The second day, we felt the Lord was leading us to end the conference by commissioning each woman and having them go through a fire tunnel. Linda Wyatt, one of our good friends, came with a scarf that she had dipped it in a pool in the U.S. where many were healed and baptized in fire. She felt to bring this scarf with her as a symbolic act of impartation for the Arab women of the land. She also brought some oil from the Bible that is supernaturally flowing with oil in the state of Georgia. Our Jewish sisters also brought us a gift of a bottle of oil shaped like a crown from Jerusalem.

When we had the women pass through the fire tunnel for a time of impartation, the power of God was so tangible underneath the scarf that is was really like an open heaven. Several women were greatly touched by the Lord and others delivered, healed and set free. It was truly like Isaiah 61, “to give the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of heaviness.” This was a glorious ending to this conference. Many women stayed until the end and some stayed even longer just to receive an experience of the heart of the Father and to be commissioned as they leave.

June 2019 Events

During the Pentecost season, we had two events with our good friends, Ray & Renaid Almgren from Pittsburgh. A training day for young people took place on the subject of the Holy Spirit and intercession. We also had a women’s breakfast where we invited women leaders and pastors’ wives who were invited to the Legacy Hotel. During the breakfast, we had a time of worship, sharing of hearts, and teaching on prophetic intercession focusing on prayer triggers by Ray & Renaid. We had around 23 women that are in leadership who attended. It was a great time of worship and fellowship around food. We believe the gathering of women every couple of months deeply unites us.

 

February 2019 Women’s & Youth Conference

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and eat with him, and he with me.”

Revelation 3:20

We feel the Lord wants to heal His body this year. He wants to pour out His oil on His people, the oil of the balm of Gilead. The Lord is pouring a new wine and He is looking for a cluster of grapes. Isaiah 65:8a says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster.” He is forming a new cluster, a new oneness, and unity among His people. Often times, healing will proceed a move of unity in the body. We are responding by doing two events, one for the women and one for the youth because we believe healing and deeper forgiveness is essential for the Body of Christ.

Our good friend Orna Grinman, a Jewish mother in the land, will be speaking and doing the training for us. She is the founder of the ministry Ot Oo’Mofet (Sign & a Wonder). On February 15th we will have an all-day women’s gathering, and we are expecting up to 80-90 to come. The next day, we will have the youth gathering and are expecting 80-90 youth to come as well.

These gatherings will be about forgiveness with the theme, “Who is Knocking at Your Door? How to deal with painful emotions & thoughts so they won’t rule your life.” Rania & Orna will be sharing during these gathering. We have invited all the Arab churches to join for both gatherings.

 

September 7-8, 2018 Women’s Conference

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be
preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 

1 Thessalonians 5:23

We had a wonderful and powerful time during our women’s conference in September. There were deeper bonds that formed as women from different regions of the nation came together. We were blessed to have 90 women join us, all who are leaders in the Body of Christ here. We focused this conference on an alignment of our spirit, soul, and body. The conference took place at the Legacy Hotel in Nazareth.

Our ministry team consisted of 14 local and international women. We had four speakers: Lilo Keller, Briskilla Zananiri, Elin Fagerbake, and Rania Sayegh. We had three worship leaders: Ruth Fazal, Jesra Andrenaly, and Ikhlas Sadran.

The speakers did a great job bringing into focus the different subjects about alignment. Rania spoke about the importance of alignment and understanding the spirit, soul, and body. Lilo spoke about life in the Spirit, how to renew our mind and the test of love. Elin spoke about our identity as daughters of God. Lastly, Briskilla spoke about sharpening our senses.

During the conference, we did a prophetic act following a vision Rania had during the two days of prayer and preparation before the conference. She saw a vision of women’s heads budding with roses, and it formed the shape of a crown on their heads. We decided to purchase 100 crowns of roses, and we crowned each woman during the conference. As we did this we declared that God is transforming and renewing her mind, that He is crowning her with steadfast love and mercy (Psalm 103:4).

 

Here are some words that one of the women shared from her experience at the conference:

In this conference, God has moved greatly deep inside my heart. I thought that I had released and forgiven all the people in my life who had hurt me. During the sessions, God kept uncovering a lot of pain that was buried and covered in my heart. As I sat and shared with someone from the ministry team what God was doing in me, I felt the pain begin to diminish as the forgiveness of God grew within me. I began to explode with deep deliverance in my heart! My spirit and soul were set completely free, and I was filled with joy. I was filled with the Holy Spirit. After this release, God began transforming how I view myself and showed me how He sees me.

 

February 2018 Women’s Training Day

We had two powerful days on February 16th and 17th with our youth & women for training. We gathered at a church in the city of Tur’an in the Galilee. Barbara Yoder joined us from the U.S. and Mary Audrey Raycroft from Canada.

“For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.”

Romans 8:19

The theme of the training for women was, “The Revealing of the Sons of God, and How to Reign and Rule with Jesus.” We had 90 women register for this training. There were powerful times of worship, beginning with Ruth Fazal. For the other sessions, we had worship in Arabic. Barbara and Mary Audrey both brought powerful messages on the real authority that we carry in the Lord and taught us how to move in this authority.

There was a wonderful atmosphere of fellowship as we gathered around food that we had catered and for the times of training.

Thank you so much for those of you were praying for us during these times of training. We also are so thankful to those who have been sowing into our women and young people. We would not be able to do all this without you! The food that was catered was sponsored partially by the ministry, as well the rental for the meeting area.

Both Barbara And Mary Audrey had prophetic encouragements for our women, you can watch these videos below.

Barbara received a prophetic word about one of the roles that Arab women will play in the end times. You can hear her message in this video.

Mary Audrey also shared an encouraging word to the women which you can watch here.

Arab Deborahs September 2017 Conference

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.

Testimony of Freedom from the Hatred of Men

Arab Deborahs Arising Conference and Deborah’s Clan Gathering 2017

Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel, Until I, Deborah, arose, Arose a mother in Israel.

Judges 5:7

“When the mothers arise in the land, there is safety within it’s border,” Rania Sayegh

The Lord has been speaking to us prophetically and directing our hearts to the desire of His heart and will, for what He wants to do in this upcoming strategic gathering prior to Rosh Hashana – Feast of Trumpets.

We are anticipating a gathering of a powerful company of women that will hear the trumpet call and come to the land for a strategic time of prayer, seeking God’s heart, worship, and fellowship to release what’s on His heart for His land and people!

We are praying and believing the Lord to use this appointed time, which falls in alignment during the month of September, (two weeks prior to the beginning of the new strategic Hebraic year 2018 -Feast of Trumpets). We feel this will release a corporate trumpet call for the mothers, as Deborah, to arise in the land and begin to position themselves in the army, His family — to partner with Him to release the spirit of adoption through the revelation of the mother’s and father’s heart of God. It’s time for corporate heart cry from the generations in His land, “Abba Father!”

The Lord spoke to us that this next gathering in September is strategic, as it is the fifth strike in the ground (our fifth conference) for a time of healing and establishing our spiritual boundaries victoriously. The Lord has given us the privilege to partner with Him, to see this movement among Arab women in the land of Israel birthed in September 2015. We are witnessing His glory being revealed in new way like never before; new wine skins being prepared for His new wine to be poured out, joy in the unity among women, an army of women emerging to advance the Kingdom, and freedom to be released to their destiny.

One of the key verses the Lord spoke to us for this upcoming conference is:

“Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought f-forth her children.” Isaiah 66:8

Briskilla Zananiri sharing her experience in Arab Women Conference “For Such A Time as This” :

“Being a part of the February Esther Conference was a joy. I’m using the descriptive word “joy” because JOY was such a part of all that took place. One could feel the pleasure of God for what was taking place. His heart expression towards us was a memory worthy to be remembered. We were taught about His Glory by Barbara Yoder, and were captured by His presence when He came. We were given a prophetic understanding, by Rania Sayegh, of some of the personal developments God desired to equip us with in 2017.

We celebrated through worship as Sarah Lieberman, Jesra, and Rachel Boskey (with the band) led the way. For me teaching about the power of words was an ongoing experience, as this conference was a place where Jesus chose to meet me personally each day. My memories will be locked into the beauty of His presence and the delight of His heart regarding these beautiful women who so happened to be of Arab and Jewish descent. Incredible days in His presence.

The gathering of Arab and Jewish young people was an event remembered by the honest conversation Barbara Yoder had with them, the beautiful time of worship by Magd, and the wonderful time of personal ministry given to each young person in attendance. Wow, it is so true that God has set in place ministering spirits who are sent to strengthen, heal, and equip His saints. To witness the development of God’s generation is such a joyful blessing!!!”

Arab Women’s Training Day – April 2017

Until the Day Dawns

And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

1 Peter 1:19

We felt the Lord was leading us to move ahead with plans to launch the School of Prayer HOPE is establishing in the land, in order to equip the younger generation and the women of the land. This event was that launch. We are grateful that this day proved to be a fruitful day of teaching, activation, worship, prayer, and fellowship with the Arab women around the Galilee region. Around 70 out of 100 invited Arab women attended this event.

We believe that as Arab women are moving forward with the Lord corporately; that this is the time to take seriously and provide the training to equip the kingdom family for the battle. This will assist with the corporate body standing as a prophetic intercessory power in the land, positioned with authority. This is key! His faith-filled decrees released by the locals, through prophetic worship & intercession will strengthen the land and her people.

We were blessed to have with us again, our friend and daughter of the land: Briskilla Zananiri. She and I were privileged to minister to our local sisters on this day.

 

 

Praise Report: For Such A Time As this – February 2017

Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands

Psalm 149:6

 

We are so grateful for all of you who are standing with us in relationship, love, prayer, and encouragement. For you to share with us, to witness, and hear the testimonies of the Lord’s plans and purposes established in our region is important to us. The HOPE staff, the local Arab women of the land, and I are so grateful to our global family! Without your relationship, without your prayer support, and generosity, we honestly would not be able to witness His plans nor see the desire of His heart manifest among our women in His land! Growth is happening! Thank you for your part!!

The Lord has done mighty and powerful things in our midst, I believe we have entered into an new season of His glory, we feel we have shifted into a fullness of time for His promises, and words over our lives, families and land are now blossoming. He is watching over His word to perform it! (Jeremiah 1:11-12).

Two days before the conference began, 20 wonderful women making up the international & local ministry team (represented from 7 nations) joined us to pray, intercede, and share what the Lord was saying. These meeting were outstanding, as the Lord was revealing His heart to us on what He is longing to do for us and through us in this new season.

We are so grateful for each one of these amazing mothers who came to minister to our women and land! What a privilege it was to host them! This year, we were greatly blessed to have more local mothers involved in the ministry team-both Arab and Jewish sisters together. So beautiful and full of memorable moments. What a joy it was to watch as the Holy Spirit knit our hearts with His heart, and revealed what it was He wanted to release.  We experienced an expression of a deeper unity being formed among us.

One hundred Arab women attended the February conference, from 22 different churches. We were also blessed to experience the meetings with a few of the members of our Jewish family. God’s unity and love between the two mothers, Sarah and Hagar, is expanding. This is so precious to the Lord and to us as we witness its unfolding.

We have seen the Lord move in mighty ways during this gathering of mothers and daughters. We felt the Lord was saying, “The time has come for My Glory to be released again into your lives and land.” The Lord gave us the sign of the blooming almond tree, stating, “This is the time of the fulfillment of My Word”. He was leading us in this conference to focus on “the purification of the tongue and how to become carriers of His glory” in order to, be His mouthpiece releasing His life on earth through worship & prophetic decrees.

The speakers for this conference were, Barbara Yoder, Briskilla Zananiri and myself. We began the conference by casting the vision and my personal journey of preparing for the glory of God. It was a joy to speak of different principles that God shared with me regarding the role of the tongue, intimacy, worship, and being abandoned to God by wholehearted obedience no matter what the cost is. The presence of God was so strong in this first session, where the cloud of His glory was evident in our midst even the weather outside was full of fog and mist (cloud of Glory) as a sign of His coming!

During the second session Briskilla laid the foundation on the power of the tongue and His spoken Word. The Lord released clarity on how to become His mouthpiece, speaking His decrees and wielding the Sword of the Spirit. This session ended with women consecrating their mouth to God. The desire to be used of God; to speak His Words and become agents of blessing in Israel was genuine. This is fun: Each woman was given a fun gift ­of Lipstick made by Japanese company. The uniqueness of this product is that it changes color according to the temperature of the lips.This was an amazing idea as a prophetic token to remember this life changing message of Isaiah 6.

 

In the evening session, we had powerful time of worship. For the first time, and directed through a dream, we had a local Jewish Messianic worship leader with us. It was a true joy to have Sarah Liberman with us. This was also her first time to lead worship in an Arab women’s conference while singing in Hebrew. Yes, it was a beautiful time filled with the Spirit of God, where we felt a deep sound coming forth from the heart of the land. Dance broke forth in the room where Arab and Jewish women were dancing together. Barbara Yoder then, released a powerful message on the external glory and our preparation.

The next day was full, as we had another 3 sessions during this day. During the morning session, Sarah Liberman lead worship followed by Barbara Yoder continuing her message on “The Glory, the Internal Glory We Are Called To Carry!”

The following session, we had powerful time worshiping in Arabic with our friend Jesura Adranely leading in worship. We felt the weighty presence of God come in the room, where the women where undone by His Glory. We had to stop as the Glory of God was overwhelming. Women began to weep, others fell on the floor not being able to carry themselves. God’s Spirit released laughter and weeping, in response to His coming.

One of the “signs” of this moment was when one of the Arab women (a worship leader and pastor’s wife) released a prophetic song during the time of honoring Him and His presence. She released a song in tongues sounding like the Spanish language. Our translator in the conference, supernaturally could translate the words into Arabic, understanding the Spanish language. His glory lingered in the room.

It was wonderful to have Barbara Yoder follow this precious time of waiting on Jesus. Her message was on what God is saying for this season, with emphasis on the power of praise and the importance of worship as this is the season where Judah (the tribe of praise) goes first!

The last session, Briskilla ministered to the women on the power of prophetic decrees and activated the women on opening their ears and hearts to the Holy Spirit to hear. The conference ended with the ministry team anointing each woman, and commissioning the women to become His voice in the land. The commissioning consisted of each woman having a time of prayer with a piece of coal from Wales available to them, in representation of the Isaiah 6 encounter of prophet Isaiah. This was beautiful symbolism of Isaiah’s commissioning with the coal of fire from the throne of God. Each woman had the opportunity to profess her commitment to, “YES, I want my lips to be cleansed and to become His voice in the land!”

Briskilla Zananiri sharing her experience in Arab Women’s Conference “For Such A Time as This”:

“Being a part of the February Esther Conference was a joy. I’m using the descriptive word “joy” because JOY was such a part of all that took place.

Incredible days in His presence.

An Arab woman sharing her testimony with Rania from the “For Such A Time As This” conference:

Peace sister Rania. May the Lord bless your life and bless the labor of your love and blessed ministry for Jesus Lord of Glory.

I want to share with you concerning the women’s conference, how wonderful and a great blessing it was for everyone and especially for me, for my life. The Lord blessed me abundantly and gave me extraordinary favor through His blessed presence and I want to testify about the blessing and the glory that came on me during the conference and especially during the time of prayers. I remember I was waiting for any of the blessed sisters to come and pray for me and encourage me, and during this time I was praying that the Lord would bless me with a new and supernatural touch in my life … so one of the visiting international sisters came to me and she was filled with the glory and presence of the Lord, and the moment she wanted to lay her hand on my head to pray, the powerful glory and presence that was on her reflected on me, and the next thing I know, I am in the floor.

I experienced the Lord mightily and though I wanted to get up but I couldn’t as the presence of the Lord was holding me powerfully, and they told me that I was shaking because of the strength of the presence on me. Sister Andera was encouraging me during this time and I could hear her telling me to not be in haste to get up as the Lord touched my life and He wants to empty it from things and He wants to bless me. She told me to take advantage of the opportunity and to hold onto His presence.

A wonderful experience. At the end of the conference, a sister who was sitting next to me all the time during the conference encouraged me very much as she told me that the Lord has laid on her heart a message for me and she wants to deliver it to me, and she prophesied over me with the words from the Lord. She encouraged me tremendously and I felt that the Lord lifted me up miraculously and I went home filled with this blessing, and I encouraged my family very much and the Lord promised me that He will bless me and bless my family and bring salvation to my household if I hold onto Him and His words and promises that are truth for my life. I give Him all the glory for ever and ever.

May the Lord truly bless you sister Rania, you are a source of support and encouragement to many. May the Lord lift you up more and more and keep you and cover you with His blood in every place you are in.
