Jerusalem Trip 2025- October Newsletter

Message from David:

The Spirit of Adonai ELOHIM is upon me, because ADONAI as anointed me to announce good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted; to proclaim freedom to the captives, to let out into light those bound in the dark; to proclaim the year of the favor of ADONAI and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn,

Yes, provide for those in Tziyon who mourn, giving them garlands (crowns) instead of mourning, a cloak of praise instead of a heavy spirit, so that they will be called oaks of righteousness planted by ADONAI, in which He takes pride.

They will rebuild the ancient ruins, restore sites long destroyed;

They will renew ruined cities, destroyed many generations ago.

Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, foreigners plow your land and tend your vines; but you will be called Cohanim (priests) of ADONAI, spoken of as ministers to our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and revel in their reiches.

Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 61:1-6

Yeshua quoted this in part in Luke 4 to declare this scripture is fulfilled where it speaks to the coming of the Messiah (The Anointed One). It is also a Rhema Word that keeps coming to my heart for the State of Israel right now and Gaza. It is a word that speaks to being sent to set captives free to proclaim liberty. It speaks to the restoration of Land and cities that were in ruin. All these things speak to the restoration of Israel as a nation and people. The ending of war and captivity.

This is what we are believing for Israel and even Gaza right now.

This is what we will continue to stand on for Israel and declare Shalom for the State as well

as its continued revival and revelation unto seeing Yeshua as Messiah.

We are believing for the breaking of war and we are thankful we could be in Israel for Oct. 7^th and the start of Sukkot, as we heard the peace deal was making strides in Egypt. When we came back, we are thankful and praise The LORD for the return of the hostages. A major prophetic prayer point for this trip.

We also were able to go to a couple of the prayer centers we have mentioned previously and

released the Word of the LORD for Jerusalem and Israel.

Our initial trip to Israel was delayed due to having our flight from Newark to Tel-Aviv diverted due to a medical emergency and so it took us nearly 24 hours exactly to get to Tel-Aviv. But..

Delay is not Denial!!

We may have felt we lost a day but the next morning at around 4:30 am.. The Word of the LORD came saying…

Oct. 6^th 2025:

Prophecy Son of Man over My City.. this is still My City the City of the King of Glory. Open up you eternal gates open up every door to men’s hearts. The King of Glory is knocking, Your King is knocking..

Some ask why petition why stand in the gap for a people that are so stubborn and contend with Me

But I AM lover of all souls I have made and fighter with whom I have made Covenant. I was there in the beginning I was there when Adam breathed I was there when Eve betrayed Me I was there when Jacob wrestled with Me I was with David when he killed Goliath I was there when he ordered Uzziah’s death I was there with Noah I was there with Jonah

Even now I AM here in the City

The King of Glory

They call Me HaShem (the Name)

They will know Me as Son of David

What will their acceptance of Me their King be?

Revival of Resurrection power My power. The same power that raised Me from death. I will sweep this City with My Spirit

I declare My Grace is sufficient. I will not allow My City or Land be divided I will oppose and depose those who oppose her and My People I wa there Oct. 7^th I AM here today knocking seeking  asking My people who is Your King? It is I strong and glorious.

LORD of Hosts who fights for you. Declare freedom for the Hostage naturally and spiritually. Declare Sight to the blind

Favor and blessing. It is I who favors your My beloved City

Release the anointing Declare My Grace. Plead My Blood. Break every yoke release the captive break the curse and enforce My Blessing. I contend for you.

Your Prince of Peace, your King of Glory has spoken.

HalleluYah!! Come in agreement for Jerusalem and Israel for their protection safety. NO weapon formed against them can prosper and every tongue that rises in judgment the LORD condemns. We petition every hostage of darkness and the god of this word be set free. We declare spiritual Sight be restored unto the Land and People of the Promise. This is the time of revival and restoration. Come Alive in 2025!

What will their acceptance be but life from the dead.

Resurrection power and revival. We declare Yeshua is ADONAI over Israel and America. We

declare War is over and Shalom reigns. We declare the covenants of our nations of the USA and State of Israel are renewed and affirmed in Yeshua’s mighty name.

Amen Amen.

Message from Kelly

This trip was the greatest so far! It provided so many opportunities for us to make connections with various people from several different countries.

When I first boarded the flight to Tel Aviv, I simply nodded to the people who were going to be

on either side of me and settled in for the long flight, fully expecting that should I fall asleep, then I would wake up in Tel Aviv. Little did I know that I would, in fact, wake up in Gander, Canada, due to a medical emergency involving a family seated right across from me.

This delay created a chance for David and me to meet several people on our flight and strike up conversations with others that we normally wouldn’t have started. I learned that one family was flying back to attend their mother’s funeral, another passenger was flying to attend a training for his security firm in the States, many were flying to celebrate Sukkot with family, and one couple I met only spoke Chinese, but with smiles and gestures and an attempt with a translating app we were able to get briefly acquainted. Knowing that this trip had been prayed for by David, myself, and several others, as well as receiving Words about what to possibly expect on this trip, I was able to take everything in stride for the most part, knowing that God is faithful and that He was with us since He was sending us to go. Everything that needed to get done was going to get done.

The others on the flight experienced the delay much differently than I did. Which is understandable, since they had different objectives, plans, and appointments. They had stricter schedules. But I found it interesting to experience the attitudes of others around me, during this time of Sukkot (feast of Tabernacles), that I’m told is a joyous celebration as Jews reminisce on their ancestors being brought out of slavery and into prosperity by God, who was, is, and will continue to be with them.

The passengers from the plane were not happy at all. They started out as understanding, but as the delay persisted, attitudes and atmospheres changed. Grumbling and complaining. Demanding answers from people who had none at the time. One Jewish lady even explained to an overwhelmed flight attendant that she wasn’t frustrated but rather “insulted” with how things were being handled. The scene reminded me of Moses as he freed the Israelites and they wandered through the desert to the Promised Land. What should have been at most a two-week journey to accomplish took 40 years due to grumbling and complaining against the Lord (Numbers 14:29-34). What should have taken us 9.5 hours to travel under normal circumstances ended up taking us about 24 hours in all. I think we all know what it's like to have people, even several people, come to us with needs and complaints, but after this experience, I can appreciate the fact that Jethro came and brought some order to Moses to help delegate some of the responsibilities as judge for the Israelites to keep him from becoming too overwhelmed (Exodus 18:13-23).

Landing in Tel Aviv was a relief to all. The taxi driver told us that in Tel Aviv (a less religious

city), Sukkot is often celebrated by partying. But when we got closer and closer to Jerusalem (a more religious atmosphere and city), we saw more and more Sukkahs (canopy tent-like structures with wood planks or poles as the roof and leaves on top of those) set up. I learned that Jews would eat under the Sukkahs, enjoying a meal together. Sukkahs were set up all around Jerusalem. Our hotel had one, restaurants had them, marketplaces and shopping centers, and even apartments had them on balconies. That

was interesting to see and experience.

It's always wonderful to walk around the city of Jerusalem. The first day, we went to a prayer center where they pray and worship 24/7. It serves as a type of watch tower for the city, and there are different watches in place with different prayer leaders. The two times we went to the prayer center on this trip, coincidentally to us but in reality were spirit-led by God, were for government and America. We made connections with people there as well, a few from the U.S. and one couple from the UK, when in the past we didn’t. We also visited the Western Wall, which was busy with festivities, the Garden Tomb (which is still empty), and the Golden Gate, which David felt led to anoint.

Surrounding the Golden Gate is a Muslim cemetery. As we were walking through the cemetery, David said he had a vision where the ground became like a glass floor and he could see people below crying out in agony and in Arabic, “Jesus is Lord!” He also heard Jesus say that He died, so others wouldn’t have to. Jesus died so that no one else would have to. Jesus died and rose again and, in doing so, conquered death, hell, and the grave. He rose to give us life and a life of victory and triumph. How chilling and eye-opening is that vision? That hell is full of people now crying out that Jesus is Lord, repentant for living a life of rebellion to God and of having been deceived into unbelief, but it’s too late.

“Wake up from your sleep, climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the Light!” -Ephesians 5:14 The Message

Wake up! The time is now! Procrastinate no longer. Jesus is coming soon, and there is Kingdom work to be done as we prepare for His return.

“Look! God’s tabernacle is with human beings. And from now on he will tabernacle with them as their God. Now God himself will have his home with them- ‘God-with-them’ will be their God!” – Revelation 21: 3 TPT

It was such a beautiful thing that while we were in Jerusalem during Sukkot, people were preparing in Washington, D.C. for the nationwide Communion event. All 50 states were represented. 50 tents were set up where prayer and worship were held nonstop throughout the event. One long table set up where communion could be shared and taken together. So many were in attendance that they expanded from the table to the grounds of the National Mall. David and I were unable to attend the event in person, but we joined online for the communion. God is doing a mighty thing in our nation. He continues to move mightily in Israel. Let’s continue to pray and seek, and share the good news! Praise God for the turnaround! Praise God for revival! Praise God for the breakthrough!

 “The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life] and believe [with a deep, abiding trust] in the good news [regarding salvation].” -Mark 1:14 AMP

Shalom to you all!

Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the LORD.

Blessings,

David, Kelly, and Thelma Hess
