It has been a privilege to go back and forth between Norway and Israel for the past 5 years. I was recently invited back to speak for the National Prayer Conference in Grimerud, Norway. There were around 500 people who attended this prayer conference. I was asked if I would share a word I gave to the nation in 2014 as a fulfillment of what God has done.

In Dec 2014, I saw a vision of a balance before me and the right side of the balance was full of burning coals. The left side of the balance had fewer coals that were hardly burning and underneath this side, it was written, “Norway.” Since the right side was full it was heavier than the left side that was lower.

Then I saw a hand begin to take the burning coals from the right side and move them to the left side of the balance where “Norway” was. This continued until both sides were balanced. I believe this was the condition of the altar of prayer in Norway as well as the moral condition of the nation.

On October 22, 2018, the Lord gave me another vision while sitting up on a high place in Norway. As I was overlooking the view of the mountain tops, I saw a palm tree growing on top of mountain peaks in Norway and a menorah blooming on top of this palm tree.

After this vision, the Lord spoke to me from Zechariah 4 about the menorah and the olive trees on each side of it. There are two main oracles in this chapter that I felt the Lord was giving me as a message for Norway. The first oracle was that God’s power would prevail over all the obstacles in rebuilding and maintaining the temple according to His purpose.

“This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, you shall become a plain and he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

Zechariah 4:6-7

The message of the second oracle, found in verses 8 to 10, was that Zerubbabel would finish the temple. When he finished the temple, it would make clear what God had spoken through Zechariah.

“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands shall also finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.”

Zechariah 4:9

Before leaving for Norway, the Lord told me to buy a menorah made of REAL silver and gold to present to the nation with the declaration of these two oracles. To my amazement, the Lord was orchestrating a reconciliation between Ireland and Norway and used the menorah I brought from Israel.

In AD 793, during the Viking Age, Vikings attacked an island Monastery in Northern England. This was the start of many attacks on some of the most central Celtic monasteries throughout England. These attacks caused the end of the Celtic prayer and missions movement; which never recovered.

At the prayer conference, there was an Irish man who had been walking the streets of Norway asking God to heal the wound between Ireland and Norway. He has also been praying for the prayer movement in Ireland to be restored. When he came for the prayer conference, he was given a place to stay with a Norwegian family. Last year they had communion together, but this year they found out some more details about the Viking attacks. After attacking the Irish Celtic Monasteries, the Vikings had stolen gold and silver from them. They later traded them with Israel. The Norwegians had been praying that God would restore to Ireland the gold and silver that had been traded in Israel.

What they did not know was how to get silver and gold from Israel, and they never communicated with me about it. These revelations had only been realized two days before the conference began. When the Norwegian prayer leaders heard about what the Lord had spoken to me, they decided to humbly present the Menorah to the Irish people and ask for forgiveness.

The last morning of the conference, before the reconciliation took place, the Lord reminded me of when I was in Bangor, Ireland during Pentecost 2016. There was a gathering in the Valley of Angels where a menorah was presented with a coal from Wales that the fire would not go out in Ireland. They declared that the oil would continue to flow into the menorah of the remnant of believers in Ireland.

There was a lot of rejoicing in how the Lord orchestrated the healing of these two nations. I was amazed at watching the Lord’s sovereign hand, and I was thankful to see Him healing these nations. I also recently learned that there is going to be an upcoming gathering in Bangor in the Valley of Angels this coming Pentecost. There will be 24/7 worship and prayer between the Norwegians and Irish leaders!

With a thankful heart I would like to share with all of you who prayed and stood with me (Rania) as I traveled to three nations in June: Norway, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

In April, the Lord spoke to me in a vision about Europe. I could see bees flying from other nations into Europe. They were needed and were coming to join the effort for the completion of the work needed in the bee hives to produce and create the honey in the land. Then the words I heard were, “The cross pollination movement is accelerating between Europe and Middle East.” I understood that it was time to cross over into other nations and cross pollinate with leaders and intercessors.

Norway

Last year, I was invited to speak as part of a strategic conference on Israel in Norway. This Summit was held by one of the fathers in Norway, Alv Magnus, from YWAM base in Grimmurd from June 6th to 8th. This conference was a product of a few years of labor in the land of Norway; as well as prophetic word which was given to me about the importance of the alignment of Norway to God’s End Time plans for Israel (both the Arabs and Jews), and the Middle East.

78 leaders from the land of Norway were present in this Summit; where we had wonderful times of prayer, fellowship, and teaching. I spoke on the destiny of the Arab people, Ishmael’s descendants, and their role in God’s End Time Plan in the Middle East. For one of the sessions the Lord laid on my heart to release the prophetic word He gave me for Norway, which in its essence is the message of the necessary repentance of Norway as a nation. That night, we experienced a shift in the spirit realm as the leaders responded corporately to stand in the gap for repentance for Norway. We could feel the presence of Holy Spirit and His grace in the room, as hearts broke and humility took precedence. God allowed the partnership with His heart for their nation. I believe it was a pivotal moment in the conference as well as in the atmosphere over the nation.

Along side of me, Avner and Rachel Boskey were invited to teach on God’s heart for the Jewish people, and another speaker from Lebanon spoke on Islam and what God is doing in the Muslim world.

Wales, UK

It’s been a desire in my heart since 2010 to visit the nation of Wales, as the Lord has allowed me to connect with different people from Wales through the years. Something that I have cherished and known to be a “God moment” is the times I have been given coals from the mines of Wales, as a sign for the redemptive gift which Wales carries for the worldwide revival fire–a fire that has spread out to the nations since the breakout of the Welsh revival in 1904.

Our friends Ray and Renaid Almgren from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA), had the desire to go to Wales after the Lord spoke to Ray about a 5 nation tour with the purpose of “re-digging wells of revival.” While sharing and praying together, the Lord directed us to visit the first well in Wales together. The timing the Lord spoke to me about was that we are to be there during Shavout (Pentecost).

After Norway I flew to Wales where I was hosted with Ray and Renaid in a home of a friend of mine Qday, who is a Korean brother who lives in Wales and married to an English woman by the name of Bridget. Qday has contended in prayer for years to see the inheritance of Rees Howells being restored. It was a privilege for me to stand with Qday and encourage him in this journey.

I had the privilege of speaking in the Bible College of Wales on Sunday morning service during Pentecost (Shavout) June 12th.

While keeping within the 10 minutes time frame given, to my surprise as I began sharing the pastor, who is Scottish (Mark), asked me to keep going and feel free to take longer time. So, I began to share about the unity that was during Pentecost and shared the testimony of the global day of prayer which took place in Nazareth where Jews and Arabs came together for a time of prayer and repentance. Then I asked Ray and Renaid to come up and release the prophetic word on the prayer movement in Wales. The Holy Spirit came in powerful way that morning. Pastor Mark asked the people to come forward to be prayed for. The Lord moved on hearts–people were touched in deep way by the Holy Spirit.

The Lord opened the door for me to speak in a mission center. With around 60 in attendance that night, we had wonderful time in worship and I felt a fresh release of hope and revelation on people’s hearts as I shared what God is doing in Nazareth, and about His heart and plans for revival among our people in the Middle East.

The vision of this journey was to cross pollinate with leaders, intercessors and also visit the revival wells to receive what God has deposited there. I was deeply moved and touched by the Lord when I entered Moriah Chapel where the Welsh revival broke out. The revival’s origin was because of a young woman by the name of Florrie who said in a youth prayer meeting, “I love the Lord Jesus with all my heart” and she meant it! What a statement that has ignited the fires of revival!

Then visiting the Bible College of Wales, established by Rees Howells was a great inspiration for my life. I was touched by the Lord specially in the blue room, where Rees Howells and his team used to pray and intercede for the nations. There is a tangible presence of the Lord still present till this day in this room, where great battles for nations where won, because of a man who gave himself in total surrender to the Holy Spirit.

I was given the opportunity to share in the Bible College prayer meeting, where the Lord laid on my heart to release the prophetic word the Lord gave me for Wales. The word I received was “Wales is the Whale of Europe, and the Whale is about to move”. This word carries a journey of several prophetic dreams and revelations from the Lord on the prayer movement and the power of travail in prayer. It’s play of words, where “whale” represents the wailing and travailing in prayer until the stage of birthing.

My encounter in this room, was deep where I felt the fire of God all over my whole being. I asked the Lord to grant me such faith to partner with Him in prayer and see great breakthrough as Rees did in the past. My zeal for the Lord and prayer was stirred in deeper way!

I can say that Wales has been the geographical location of a life changing experience for me! I will be sharing in the next newsletter about the visit to Northern Ireland.
