This is God’s Prophetic Mandate

Dear Friend,

At the age of 31, I faced one of the greatest crises of my life. I had been working 18 hours a day, seven days a week, striving to be the best I could be. I had no comprehension that I was competing for acceptance among my peers. 

I was addicted to work in the same way an alcoholic is addicted to alcohol, or a drug addict is addicted to drugs. That addiction began to break my health.

An undiagnosed neurological disease began to manifest itself. It caused all the muscles in my neck to spasm. 

I began to experience panic attacks and tachycardia. My heart rate would jump from 80 to 200 beats in a matter of seconds. 

In the midst of the darkness, I became depressed, discouraged, and physically drained. 

I cried out to God from the midst of that cardiology ward, “Lord, I’ve never wanted to know You in the fellowship of your suffering, but I do now.”

As I said that the Lord said, “Then you shall know Me in the power of My resurrection. Because you are willing to admit what you are not, I will empower you with what I am. Where those two points meet, destiny will be manifested in your life.”

Little did I know that several months later, the soft, gentle voice of the Holy Spirit would speak to me to read the following:

“Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old, behold I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth. Shall ye not know it; I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:18-19). 

Through this Scripture, it was as though a drop of water had fallen on my parched spirit.

Next the Holy Spirit instructed me to go home, send a fax to Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and ask if he would meet with me. I argued, “No Lord, there’s no way. He doesn’t even know me, so why would he want to see me?”

Eventually, I obeyed His voice and sent the fax telling Prime Minister Begin I’d be in a Jerusalem hotel for six days and desired to meet with him. I flew there, checked in, and began to pray.

On the second day, I found myself in the Prime Minister’s office. I approached him with “Hello, how are you?” He then talked for almost 30 minutes, which was good because I had nothing to say.

Finally he asked, “Why did you come?” “I don’t know why I came.” “You don’t know?” he said with astonishment. “What do you know?” “God sent me,” I said. “God sent you but didn’t tell you why?” he asked, becoming amused at the situation. “No, He didn’t tell me why,” I said, somewhat embarrassed. 

He called for his secretary to come into his office. “Eight thousand miles, Kadashai, to meet with me, and he says nothing except God sent him. Kadashai, shake his hand. We have finally found an honest man!”

Then he turned to me and said, “When God tells you why, will you come back and tell me?” After leaving the Prime Minister’s office, I still didn’t know why I’d gone, so I prayed and waited for an answer. Finally, Jesus softly spoke one word to me, “Bridge.” 

Once I had that, I called the prime minister’s office, and we met again. As before, after our greeting, he asked, “Why did you come?” I only had the one word, so I said, “To build a bridge.”

“A bridge? Like the Brooklyn Bridge?” the Prime Minister asked. “What kind of bridge?” I had no idea what to answer, but as I opened my mouth, out popped, “A bridge of love.” Immediately Jesus’ soft voice became clear on the inside of me as to what He intended for my life through this meeting. “A bridge of love,” he mused. “For whom?” “Between Christians in America and Jews in Israel,” I answered. “I like that,” Begin said again. “I will help you. Let’s build it together.”

That was the start of more than four decades of a Jesus-blessed ministry to the nation of Israel. It revolutionized my life and helped develop the bridge Jesus wanted to build. 

By my not caring about my reputation, God was able to use me. Somehow, I fit into His plan, allowing my imperfections to draw me closer to Him.

Today Israel is still fighting to survive, just as it was 40 years ago…and has ever since the miracle rebirth of the Jewish state in 1948. Today anti-Semitism is rising to heights not seen since the Holocaust.

And today I’m asking you to join hands with us in this great cause. 

It is only because of generous and faithful friends like you that we have been able to do so much…and it is only with your continued help that we can take this vital next step forward. 

In my spirit I hear the ancient command of God: “Comfort ye, comfort ye My people.” 

We have the opportunity to do something truly great for God — something that will have an eternal impact — with the launch of the Jerusalem World Prayer Center in Jerusalem. 

The Jerusalem World Prayer Center will allow Believers around the world to join together in powerful new ways to fight the spirit war for Israel’s future. 

Together we will join forces against the principalities and powers behind the government of Iran and their terrorist proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Mahdi Army, and the Houthis.

Together we will bind those forces through prayer, unleashing God’s arm to move in powerful ways to help defend Israel. Just as Daniel fought the spirit war against the prince of Persia until the angel came with the answer to his prayer, we will stand in the gap for Israel.

When the Jerusalem World Prayer Center opens, it will be a state-of-the-art facility that will greatly expand our outreaches to the Jewish people, and it will be a powerful weapon in the spirit war that is raging. It will be a place where you can share your prayer needs and have Believers around the world join you in the prayer of faith…the list goes on and on.

We can’t do this without your help. 

Building the addition and starting on the programming and technology for the prayer center will be a major undertaking. We must begin raising this money immediately so that the work can get started. 

At the same time, we cannot stop reaching out in love to meet the urgent needs of the Jewish people in Israel who are suffering because of the war. We cannot stop ministering to the suffering people of Ukraine whose lives have been devastated. We cannot stop feeding poor Holocaust survivors, housing refugees, providing help to young IDF soldiers, and so much more.

But we must also launch the Jerusalem World Prayer Center. 

This is God’s prophetic mandate, and it is a task that simply won’t wait. 

The overall budget for this project is $5.5 million, so we need your help right now.

If you are able to send a gift of $1,000 or more, we will put your name or the name of someone you wish to honor or remember on a special leaf on the founders tree at the Global Prayer Center. 

If you are able to send a gift of $10,000 or more, we will put your name, or a name of your choosing on a special star, symbolizing your sacrificial light of love to the nation of Israel and the world.

Please let me hear from you very soon. God is doing great things, and I’m so thankful that you and I are taking this next step of faith together.

P.S. It was on that same trip to Israel that I met Benjamin Netanyahu and prophesied over him that one day he would be prime minister of Israel. He has held that office longer than anyone else in Israel’s history, and today he is leading Israel in a time of great crisis. The launch of the Jerusalem World Prayer Center will do so much to address both the spiritual and physical needs of people in Israel, and I am asking you to be as generous as you can when you send your gift today. Thank you in advance for your quick response. God bless you.
