God Will Open the Way
An excerpt from a video message by Jane Hansen Hoyt Red Sea Intercession
We're all so aware of the ongoing current situation in Israel. We have friends there. Israel is in our hearts because we as a ministry, Aglow International, have traveled into Israel for 20 years or more. God has just built something within us. We stand with them, but we also stand as them. We are one in spirit and heart and purpose. We're so aware of what has been spoken in the Word related to God's people, the Jewish people, and the land of Israel. It's a place where Jesus will return. He is coming back, and He will put His feet down in Jerusalem in Israel. We cover the purposes of God for the people and the land. At this time in history, with so many threats and the things that are coming against them, attitudes and Antichrist spirit, there's a concern in all of our hearts that causes us to listen to the news in a particular way and focus our prayers throughout the day. We just carry them in our hearts.
I think of the history of the Jewish people as they stood on the shores of the Red Sea with the enemy coming behind them. There was nowhere to go. But God opened the waters and they passed through on dry land. And truly, they're living in a similar place today with bombs and all manner of threats focused upon them. They live with a constant awareness of the enemy wanting to destroy them. Yet, I can also see, of course, our friends who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, being strengthened. We can hear in their messages the very strength of the Lord and the anointing on their words drawing people's attention to God Almighty to intervene on their behalf. They're witnessing it and living it day after day after day.
It's a time to take seriously the need for prayer and the intensity with which the battle is raging. It's a time to step into the fray with our intercession to declare God’s purposes for Israel, and the Jewish people. Let's do that together.

Just Trust Him
An excerpt from a video message by Jane Hansen Hoyt – Solid, Steady, and Immoveable
Are you in a time frame where you have experienced some tough things in your life, or you feel a little bit down or you don’t understand some of the things that are happening? I can say I have even felt that. We’re all made of the same stuff, aren't we? We have things that occur in our lives that we don’t always understand, but there is a solid place that God would have us be tethered to, and that's the person of Jesus Christ. So that no matter what comes, no matter what storms rage, or winds blow, or words are spoken, or just any number of things that can feel like it’s coming against us, -- we can remain solid and steady and immovable.
I think of Psalm 119. It says, “Make me understand the way of Your precepts. My soul melts from heaviness. Strengthen me according to Your word.” So, he's saying, Your word will shift heaviness and discouragement. It's a choice that will shift everything. “I have chosen the ways of truth. Your judgments I have laid before me. I cling to Your testimonies. Oh Lord, do not put me to shame. You will enlarge my heart as I walk before You.”
You know, sometimes troubles that come that are disruptive or even seem hurtful or confusing can be used as the very tool that will enlarge the place before us, enlarge the footsteps before us, enlarge our heart, enlarge our understanding. This word is speaking about His truth and His precepts. We know His truth and His precepts, but they continue to expand and enlarge before us as we journey through life. So, I would encourage you today to get into His word and to eat the word as though it’s food to you. It's food to your spirit. Eat the word, partake of the word, and as you chew on it, digest it, let it refresh your spirit being. Let it come forth in deeper and richer ways than it ever has before.
Let Him have His way in your life today. Don't struggle against it. Don’t fight against it. Embrace what He’s allowed to come and ask Him to strengthen you in your spirit man. Let Him enlarge the place that He is touching in your life. Let Him expand it into a glorious expression of Himself. He will do that. He transforms everything He touches. That's the nature of the God we serve. Just trust Him.
