STREAMS IN THE NEGEV

Isaiah 41:17-20 "A site of a thankful soul who has found living water to drink from the true God of Israel"

About

Navigating the Waters
The name, Streams in the Negev, came from the impression which God gave us from the verses in Isaiah 41:17-20.  We come from many different streams of life, most of us having returned from many different countries and cultures and mindsets to the present-day Israel in fulfillment of prophetic promises given long ago by YHVH God through His prophets in Israel, and upheld by the Messiah Yeshua and His apostles in stating that all the promises of God will be fulfilled entirely. That fullness is not yet, but is on the way as the Lord works out His purposes to establish the Kingdom of God on this Earth at the return of the Lord at the Father's appointed time.
Some of us who believe in the truth of Christ being in Jesus have also come from different streams within the Body of Messiah; others who have come to know the Father and the Son since coming to Israel have entered into a mighty river into which all these streams converge.This passage in Isaiah speaks of the different trees growing and living together under circumstances not natural to any, but that the thirsty seeking water will find drink from the God of Israel Himself, and all manner of water sources will open up and bring drink and life with them. It will be such a work that it will be seen and understood as being done by the Hand of YHVH, even a new creation of the Holy One of Israel! This speaks of the Lord Jesus Christ being glorified here in the desert and the wilderness of Israel. While this looks forward ultimately to the time during the Millennial Kingdom of God, we see this as spiritually applying to us now through the preaching of the good news (the gospel) in these dry parts, and that such a mix of people will grow in spiritual unity and love for one another as a testimony to its being clearly a supernatural work of the Spirit of God in us, and not a mere work of man or natural development. He has good works for us to do, and we want to be equipped for every good work to please our Father in Heaven.
 
Beer Sheva has Biblically been a hospitable place for the likes of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Hagar and Ishmael, even Elijah. They found it a place of divine revelation and of true, spiritual worship and praise and thanksgiving towards YHVH our God -- the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. It is indeed the "City of the Fathers", and we desire that the true sons of Abraham -- Jews, Arabs, and any other believers in Yeshua -- will worship the Lord together in the beauty of holiness, serving Him without fear in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

  1. Prayer for you today per Israel Prayer Watch c/o FCF

    Abba Father, thank you for keeping Israel and for watching over your land and people. Thank you for exposing the enemy so that major disaster has been avoided and many lives spared. Thank you for the presence of your son’s warrior bride in the ministries and humanitarian aid of the Messianics and Christians established in Israel. Thank you for eyes and hearts opened to see the truth of the glory of Yeshua’s body in Israel and the difference it made during the war.

    We lift up Howard and Randi Bass, their family, friends, ministry team and all those you have sent to Nachalat Yeshua Messianic Congregation in Be’er Sheva for help, health, and healing of spirit, soul, and body. We thank you for the grace that is sufficient that comes from the throne of grace you invite to come to boldly.

    We thank you for the faithful members of the congregation and know that you honor and bless faithfulness, even as you did in Daniel, Joseph, and the three Hebrew children in Babylon! Thank you that when Yeshua comes, He will find ‘faith’ in this congregation!

    Thank you for all who give and intercede for this ministry and we praise you for your faithfulness to those who keep your commandments and see to obey you when you usher in a call to pray and give. Thank you for First Century Foundations and everything that they have done as they have sought to serve and minister to the ‘Jew First… and then to the Gentiles…’ by blessing Israel and your son’s body there.

    We thank you that the Ruach ha Kodesh can lead the worship team by knitting the hearts and orchestrating the musical gifts in those who have committed to operate in this calling at Nachalat Yeshua. We thank you that they worship in Spirit and in Truth from their hearts. We thank you that your Ruach will fill the hearts and minds of the people with praise for you that will overide the absence of the leader.

    We thank you that you are more than willing to build the congregation. thank you that you said, “I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail.” Thank you that it’s your church and we call in those who have a divine appointment to hear the word and be ministered to and delivered at Nachalat Yeshua Messianic Congregation in Be’er Sheva! We bless all those who are in leadership and declare that they are anointed and gifted to operate in supernatural and miraculous signs and wonders. Thank you that the anointing sets the captives free and breaks the yoke of bondage.

    We bless all those who are in the IDF to protect the nation and land of Israel. We lift up T, V, M, E, D, and E who are in the army from the Nachalat Yeshua community. We thank you that they are shining lights in their speech and manners and glorify you in their bodies. We thank you that they have strong, inspiring testimonies and are a curiosity to those who wonder about Yeshua, the Messiah of the WORLD! We call on their guardian, ministering, and warfaring angels to protect them and give them great guidance.

    We declare that no weapons formed against them, or anyone at the Nachalat Yeshua congregation will prosper, whether in the mind and heart of a person, or attempted attacks. We thank you that they are safe in the palm of your hand, in the cleft of the rock, and on the foundation that will not be shaken from the storms!

    We pray this in the name of Yeshua. Amein.

    Howard and Randi: You are a good son and daughter. Adonai is well pleased with you. You suffer not the children to come unto you, but you receive them all even as the Father receives us as his children. You lay hands on many and they are blessed and delivered from evil. You operate in the gifts of the Spirit and have discernment to see the roots of pain and the source of suffering so the blood of Yeshua can cleanse and set thenm free. You are trees planted by the Lord by streams of living water. You are the refreshing place that people come to with confidence that they will be set on a path of victorious living. Amein.
