TUESDAY
– Day 11 of Iron Swords War
17.10.2023
Today, I cried.
For the first time since the horrors began, I cried.
Until now I must have been in shock like many others. Until now I felt at peace knowing that God will save Israel and will look after this sliver of land that we call home. Until now I prayed and helped with all I could to all that were within my reach. But, I did not express deep emotions in any way.
But today, I cried.
Last night I managed to cox the cat from under the bed, where she hides from the noises of the artileries exchanging fires and the noise of the rockets. Last night she jumped on our bed as was her habit and allowed me to cuddle her and pat her. Then a rocket met the iron dome that came against it and the sound sent her back to her safe hiding spot.
I did not hear the birds this morning. From the stories of the people around us, even the pigeons took off in 2006. It was weird not to hear them today upon waking up.
My deep prayers are for the captive and the missing. I was informed that some are ill, some are handicapped, some are wounded, and all need medical care. The 199 that need to return home. When I heard of mothers that I know, flying with their kids to other countries for safety, the dam broke. Somehow that was the hardest news for me; my people no longer feel safe in our only country, Israel.
Make no mistake – it is a war against Jews. It is not against Israel the state, but the Jewish Israel. The only safe country for the Jews who were 2,000 years in exile and finally came home. It is the Jews that these murderers are attacking... yes, they are killing us, the Jews! Because we are Jews, no other reason. Worse than the holocaust in the Second World War, bloodier and on our own land!
So I cried. And my intercession was long and deep.
With God, we will prevail. Satan is already defeated; God protects and saves my people. I believe that with God we have the victory.
Yet, still, I cry.
Isaiah
45:11 So says the Holy One of Israel and his maker, the letters asked about my sons
and on the work of my hands they will command me.
55:11
So shall My word be that goes forth from My
mouth;
It shall not return to Me
void,
But it shall accomplish what I
please,
And it shall prosper in
the thing for which I sent it.

I believe with you Father God will bring the captives home. I understand your tears as I have been shedding tears for you all.
Words fail me at this time.
Hugs filled with love and heartfelt prayers for you all. Especially you and Willie ��������
Thank you for sharing your journey of faith, love, hope even in the danger, persecution, and sorrow. We pray with Isaiah's prophetic word "comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God". (40:1)
