My husband and I are part of a dynamic loving prayer family led by Attorney Phillip Jauregui.  Phillip has had such an impact on our lives in praying for our Supreme Court and imparting God’s heart to us through his teaching.  God has given Phillip such a love for our Supreme Court Justices.  Lately Phillip has been speaking to us about the Supreme Court being in an ‘Esther’ moment in our nation.  Very sobering.  I wanted to write a song for our Supreme Court Justices.  But nothing was coming.  As I said, ‘Well, Lord, I guess You are not giving me a song. for our Supreme Court.’  ‘Immediately, I heard this melody and words, ‘Esther, Esther, what will you do?  Esther, Esther, we’re depending on you, Esther, Esther, will you heed the call?  For such a time as this, you must give your all.’  This song was inspired by Holy Spirit…and it ‘is’ for our Supreme Court….and yet, it is truly also for the Body of Christ.

At this critical point in United States history, the Supreme Court must be willing to lay their lives down for our nation and ‘decide cases based on truth, the Constitution, humbling themselves before the LORD, who is the GOD OF JUSTICE, and operate in the fear of the LORD and not man.  They must serve no one but a holy God.  They must do the right thing and not give into pride or fear. 

Yet, this song also directly challenges and speaks to the Church, the Body of Christ, to awaken us to lay our lives down for our nation in prayer and fasting and obedience to the LORD.  The words ‘for such a time as this’ never spoke more loudly to us for our Supreme Court Justices than NOW.  They have been called into the Supreme Court ‘for such a time as THIS’ and they are ‘not their own’ – but God’s.  They are serving HIM first, and then, the people of our great nation. 

Our nation is in the process of burning to the ground.  Evil forces want to destroy America, take away ALL of our freedoms, and rule us with an iron fist of communism, socialism that comes straight from hell. The Supreme Court has the obligatory mandate and honor to decide cases based on their sacred oaths they took when they were sworn in as Justices.  They MUST be ‘the adult’ in the room of our 3 branches of government ‘for such a time as this’ and decide cases based on TRUTH, TRUE JUSTICE, IN THE HOLY FEAR OF GOD and our U.S. CONSTITUTION’s original intent.  Our Justices must be filled with courage, reject fear of what will happen to them if they ‘do the right thing.’  This is what Queen Esther did.  She was willing to give up her life to save her people.  In the end, she gained her life, and her people LIVED, and a great national victory was the result of Esther’s obedience and bravery. 

________________________________________________________________

In the Biblical book of Esther,  Esther providentially and strategically became Queen Esther in order to save her people, the Jews, from extinction. She did not realize the weightiness of what she had been ‘called’ to do when she became queen.  Her Uncle Mordecai told Esther that if she remained silent ‘at this time’ not to think that she would escape death. 

In a striking modern-day parallel, the Supreme Court of the United States is poised as a ‘prophetic Queen Esther’ brought into the kingdom (their positions) for such a TIME as THIS in our beloved nation.  There are spiritual, political, globalist forces from within and without whose plan is to destroy America by controlling it with evil, unconstitutional, lawless policies, stealing elections, and taking away individual American freedoms. 

Our nine Supreme Court Justices have a responsibility before Almighty God, the God of Justice not to give in to fear. That they not attempt to preserve their own lives, falsely thinking that they have the power to ‘save’ their own lives if they choose compromise (which is treasonous behavior). They are defrauding the American people, by wrongly deciding cases that are NOW on their docket (as well as future cases soon coming up) which have national impact on America’s freedom.  We have seen that our Supreme Court in recent days have tended to make more and more ‘right’ decisions that line up with the original intent of our U.S. Constitution.  Each justice MUST choose to walk in the fear of the Lord and hate all evil, and pursue true justice, even if it means losing their lives. Will you rise up and be Queen Esther and save America from destruction as a nation?  The power of life and death is before you – choose LIFE, choose TRUTH, choose TRUE JUSTICE, choose for AMERICA TO LIVE and NOT die, choose the FEAR OF THE LORD! 

We are lovingly praying for our Supreme Court and depending on them to do the right thing.

Esther Moment and Elijah Showdown https://jerryandkarenellard.org/esther-moment-and-elijah-showdown/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=esther-moment-and-elijah-showdown Thu, 29 Feb 2024 15:00:10 +0000 https://jerryandkarenellard.org/?p=1341 Read more]]> We are passionate about this upcoming DC pro-life trip March 25-27, because while at a local prayer gathering where we were leading worship a few weeks ago, one of the participants prayed concerning abortion in our nation.  As she prayed, it was as if God lifted the veil off of my eyes and I could see with fresh spiritual perception of how VITAL this fight for LIFE is in our nation.

In 2019 the Lord told me that He wanted to move in our nation, but He was could not move in America as He desired until we dealt with the sin of abortion (murder).  I then began to write and record many pro-life songs (for the 1st time).  Then on June 24, 2022 in a glorious victory, Roe was righteously overturned in our nation by our Supreme Court (which was an act of ‘repentance” for the SC). Many Christians thought we could just coast and that our job of fighting was over.  WRONG.  

The Lord showed me freshly that the forces of evil are trying to keep their territory for child sacrifice in our nation SO THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVE THAT GOD DESIRES TO BRING TO AMERICA WILL NOT HAPPEN.  WE MUST ENGAGE IN LOVE, WITH THE FULL ARMOR ON, WITH THE WORD OF GOD,  WITH HOLY ACTIVATION!  WE MUST MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD!

The battle for LIFE has gotten more bizarre and insane than ever as the Executive Branch of government seems determined to break the law and force or push abortion through by any way possible.

Now the FDA is bringing a case before the Supreme Court on March 26 for Oral Arguments wanting to make this horrible mifepristone pill that causes the murdering of babies to be legalized to where you do not need a doctor or any supervision, you can do it yourself as a woman.  The promoters of ‘death for babies’  have the audacity to call this women’s healthcare. The opposite is true. They should call it women’s ‘deathcare’.

The industry and the organizations involved do not care about these women.  They only care about making the money from the murder pill and many have been taken over with evil spirits having a craving to kill babies.(Child sacrifice).   Young women who do not know any better, are being victimized, lied to, and their lives are being destroyed because of this sin.  We have heard the testimonies of many women who have experienced abortion, and it was only the grace and mercy of God that keep them from killing themselves due to the guilt and shame of this sin – the unnatural act of a mother killing their own baby (made in the image of God). 

1 Kings 18:21b “How long will you (America) falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” 

We believe that we are in an Esther moment, but also as we go to Washington DC that we are facing an “Elijah and Mount Carmel” moment.

We plan to worship the Lord in Washington, D.C.  Events are being organized by both sides ‘at the same time’ in front of our Supreme Court, (Tuesday, March 26 – morning).

So please pray for the people of God to SHOW UP, TURN OUT and make YOUR VOICE HEARD for our LORD who is the Giver of LIFE.    

We are going in to DC with the love of God but we are going as worshipping warriors of the KING of Kings and the LORD of Lords.  If you can join us please let us know you are coming!!  We’ll connect you.

How “We Cry Out for Justice” began. https://jerryandkarenellard.org/how-we-cry-out-for-justice-began/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-we-cry-out-for-justice-began Thu, 29 Feb 2024 08:10:42 +0000 https://jerryandkarenellard.org/?p=1338 Read more]]> As I heard a brother praying on one of our June ’23 Supreme Court Prayer Calls repenting before the Lord on behalf of our nation, I began to hear in my spirit and musical head ‘we cry out for justice!’  I notated this down on paper. Several months LATER, shortly before our Supreme Court call began at around 5:45 A.M.,  I was singing that ‘justice song’ I wrote on a scratch piece of paper – and heard the Lord say as I was playing it on the piano, ‘go write down some decrees for America!’  I felt on fire with the passion of our Lord to see our nation FREE from injustice.   That morning on the call, many confirmed that their spirit bore witness with these decrees.  Starting out with scriptures like: 

Pro. 28:18 For the Lord is a God of Justice.  Blessed are all who wait for Him!

Ps. 119:126  ‘It is time for You to act, O Lord, for they have regarded Your law as void.’
Job 22:28 You will also declare (decree) a thing, And it will be established for you;     

Matt. 18:18: 18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

We began to sing these decrees daily at the piano. I felt prompted to make decrees also for Israel.  By changing a few words to the song, we could easily sing this same song for Israel who is CRYING OUT for justice!    America’s battle is different than Israel’s and yet, there are some parallels.  

America’s freedoms are being taken away, we are being held under tyranny and some aren’t aware of it.  The house is burning to the ground and many are asleep.   Murder is a common thing whether we are speaking of inside the womb or an illegal immigrant killing one of our college students as well as so many more examples.  Israel has gone through hell on earth with over 1200 Israeli’s being viciously and brutally murdered in one day. Then there is the loss of precious soldiers in the IDF along with soldiers maimed for life and more terrorist attacks. Many Israelis have had to move out of homes and live in hotels and many have lost their income because of the war. The whole nation of Israel is going through unbelievable trauma that most Americans cannot imagine.  But Israel is living this every day.  Many in the Church are sleeping concerning Israel even in their time of war.    

We must arise and wake up and get involved in the battle for our nation and the battle for Israel.  It is our Biblical mandate.  I heard Dutch Sheets say recently, ‘God IS GOVERNMENT.’  Yet many in the church will not ‘touch’ politics, which they conflate with government, or stand up for a righteous man who is running for office of the President.    We are asking you to please listen to these decrees at least once – and if you can agree with them, AGREE!  One can put a thousand to flight, and TWO can put TEN THOUSAND TO FLIGHT!

WE CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE    KarenSchradeEllard 2024

CHORUS: We cry out for justice – America cries out for justice We declare a breakthrough of justice     IN AMERICA TODAY!  (x 2)

VERSE: We speak the blood of the Lamb upon our Justice System in America We stand in the gap repenting of all in justices In the name and the authority of Jesus  we’re taking back our justice system in America We do not permit injustice to rule in our land

CHORUS: We cry out for justice – America cries out for justice We declare a breakthrough of justice     IN AMERICA TODAY!  (x 2)

DECREES: Job 22:28 You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you;

Matt. 18:18: 18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

19 “Again[a] I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

We decree that Donald Trump will be on the ballot in all 50 states in the name of Jesus.   We thank You, Father God, for releasing holy angels NOW to carry out Your Word and do Your bidding…..based on ‘righteousness and justice’  which are the foundation of Your throne.  We decree that this election will be founded on righteousness and justice and that it will NOT BE STOLEN.  We do not permit it to be stolen in Jesus’ name.

We decree that our Supreme Court Justices will rule in favor of Donald Trump, the Constitution, and that they will decide cases based on truth, a cleansed conscience from all defilement, with the fear of the LORD as their governor….

We decree a ‘gathering of all the anointed, Biblical, full of faith prayers’ we have prayed for our Justices to be poured out on their spiritual heads on the earth today….and every day – and that they are freshly baptized in the fear of the Lord today.

With the shield of faith we, together,  quench every firey dart of the wicked one that would come against their mind with darts of pride, arrogance, tormenting fear, prejudice, unforgiveness, blindness, dullness of heart and mind in JESUS’ name.

We plant the will of the Lord, the kingdom of God, righteousness and justice in the hearts and minds of all nine justices.  

We declare that they will be ‘the adult in the government’ and will be used by You Lord to save America!

We decree that the enemy’s camp is being brought to utter confusion and that their evil work be exposed, brought to true justice and every evil, deceitful word they have spoken ‘fall to the ground’ powerless.

Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

We plant and declare Micah 6:8 in each justice of our Supreme Court, in their law clerks, in the AG of the U.S., in each Attorney General of every state, in each judge in the Washington, D.C. Court System, New York, NY court system, Georgia Court System, AL Court System,  all 6-7 swing states court systems (MI, WI, AZ, GA, PA, NC,  NV, HI & ME).   Send your angels NOW to winnow out all evil from the justice systems in all of these places!

Jesus taught us to pray ‘His Father’s Kingdom COME, His Father’s will be DONE ‘ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN’ so accordingly….

We decree the blood of the Lamb upon the people of CO, and that all ungodly, conniving, witchcraft, cheating, defrauding elected and unelected officials be removed by the authority of Jesus Christ.

We decree that every false statement and every attempt to hurt an innocent man, President Trump, by deceit, hatred, evil networking with globalists, other nations, deep state and the Democratic and Republican party, all lawfare is rendered powerless, ineffective and will fall to the ground…. and will not hurt Donald Trump in the name of JESUS.

We decree IN THE NAME OF JESUS that full restitution must take place by the state of Colorado to Tina and other godly officials who have spent time in jail, have been robbed from financially and reputation-wise because they were knowingly, falsely accused.

We decree a righteous and just governmental turn around in CO, that it will be returned to government of the people, by the people and for the people in the name of Jesus.

We decree the efforts of the evil ones who are pushing murdering America’s babies WILL NOT SUCCEED in America in Jesus’ name!  We declare America is a NATION OF LIFE… LIFE IS WINNING IN AMERICA!!!

We decree an All- Powerful, sweeping move of the Spirit of God is bringing on a national revival and reformation and that millions of youth and college students are in process of being saved, becoming disciples of Jesus Christ, and that university professors will BOW THEIR KNEE to JESUS CHRIST.  Instead of LIES and DECEPTION, TRUTH WILL BE HERALDED FROM INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING IN OUR NATION. Amen!

WE CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE (ISRAEL) KarenSchradeEllard©2024 With scriptures and decrees CHORUS: We cry out for justice – ISRAEL cries out for justice We declare a breakthrough of justice IN ISRAEL TODAY! (X 2)

VERSE: We speak the blood of the Lamb upon the nation of ISRAEL We stand in the gap repenting of all injustices In the name and the authority of YESHUA we’re taking back true justice in ISRAEL We do not permit injustice to rule in this land

Job 22:28 You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you;

Matt. 18:18: 18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

Isaiah 30:18-19 18 Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him!

19 People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious He will be when you cry for help! As soon as He hears, He will answer you.

We decree that the war that ISRAEL is fighting against Hamas and Hezbollah is a JUST WAR that was thrust upon Israel because of the. unspeakable wicked murderous acts of over 1200 Israeli’s on Oct. 7, 2023. Israel is fighting a righteous and just war! Let this truth be heralded throughout the earth.

We decree that Israel will not capitulate, not compromise to attempts of bullying, manipulation, being tempted or bribed to stop the war SHORT OF VICTORY by the United States, by the U.N., by The Hague or any other nation or organization in Yeshua’s name.

We decree that every lie, every deception told about Israel by media, by. government, by professors, pastors, business people, by globalist – woke crazed thinkers will fall to the ground – powerless, in the name of Yeshua.

We decree that Psalm 133 be activated in the government of Israel and. call all government officials to be ‘brothers’ – be as ‘one’ – and that all evil doers who want to throw Israel to the wolves and into danger be winnowed out of the Israeli government once and for all.

We decree all lies spoken concerning Bibi Netanyahu be exposed and true justice executed to those who have maligned him for their evil, selfish purposes. We declare that no weapon formed against Bibi Netanyahu will prosper because this is his heritage as the servant of the LORD – and his righteousness is from the LORD, says the LORD!

We decree that UNRWA will be dismantled piece by piece until there is nothing left because they have murdered innocent Jewish people under the guise of being humanitarian. We declare that UNRWA is despised by the world and no longer needed anywhere, especially not in Israel. Let there be righteous organizations who operate with the fear of the Lord in their loins raised up to help where there are humanitarian needs. As the Body of Messiah, we say – enough is enough – the ROT HAS TO GO NOW!

We decree those hostages are being led out of harms way by the KING HIMSELF, YESHUA, according to Micah 2:13 – He is their ‘Breaker King!’ or the ‘KING & LORD of Breakthrough!’ We declare that the hostages are being set free by holy angels!

We decree that the hostages cannot be used as weapons against Israel to tempt them to compromise. These attempts will NOT succeed in Yeshua’s name.

We decree ABSOLUTE VICTORY (in agreement with PM Netanyahu) in Gaza in the name of Yeshua! Hamas’ control over Gaza is NOW ended in Yeshua’s name!

We decree that Israel will fight this war until they have won – no cease fire, no time out, no deals made with the devil connected with the U.S., Qatar, Egypt, Iran or any other nation. No more Hamas, No more Hezbollah, No more Iranian interference in Yeshua’s name.

We decree that ‘all Israel shall be saved’ as Paul has said in Romans 11 – and NOW is the ‘set time’ to favor Zion, for Holy Spirit to turn their hearts into flesh (according to Ezekiel 36), to cause them to walk in the ways of the Lord, to put Your Spirit within them, LORD!

We decree that both the sons of Ishmael and the sons of Jacob will serve the Lord together, and that sibling jealousy be broken off the sons of Ishmael….that they honor Israel for who God says they are.

We decree that humanitarian aid to Gaza for the purpose of Hamas gleefully stealing it is stopped, as of right now in Yeshua’s name. NO MORE!

We decree no more bullying of Israel in humanitarian aid, in land, in Mediterranean Sea at the Haifa Port, no more ‘bad’ deals for Israel will be received or carried through by Israel – enough is enough!

We decree that the building of tunnels underground in ALL of Israel STOPS NOW in Yeshua’s name! We decree that the evil doers who are building those tunnels will be supernaturally stopped by the Lord of hosts and His angels, as well as the IDF. We decree that Israel will locate ALL of these tunnels and demolish them safely in Yeshua’s name.

We decree that those who have committed murder and Israel is currently keeping in prison will NOT be let go for any ‘deal’ but they will stand trial and be executed for their murderous acts.

We decree that the evil political posturing in Israel will cease in Yeshua’s name. We decree that righteousness and justice are the foundation of God’s Throne – and Israel is to reflect God’s Throne here on earth.

We declare righteousness prevails in the Supreme Court in Israel, in the Knesset, in all of the government branches – and anyone who will not submit or humble themselves to Biblical values in the government will be shown to be in the wrong publicly and will fall by the wayside, never to rise again – their ‘political life’ snuffed out for the glory of God and the protection of Israel.

Standing in Solidarity: How to Pray for Israel Amidst Hamas War https://jerryandkarenellard.org/standing-in-solidarity-how-to-pray-for-israel-amidst-hamas-war/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=standing-in-solidarity-how-to-pray-for-israel-amidst-hamas-war Sat, 07 Oct 2023 21:43:43 +0000 https://jerryandkarenellard.org/?p=1245 Read more]]> Article by a friend of ours from Jerusalem, Rick Ridings

As of the morning of Saturday, October 7th, 2023, Israel is at war. Here are some prayer points regarding the current situation in Israel and Gaza:

1. Contain and Restrain

The Lord has given me a strong word for this season, that we are to pray to “contain and restrain” regional conflicts, so that they do not escalate into a premature World War 3 that would greatly hinder the Great Harvest.

So pray that this situation will be “contained and restrained”, especially that Hezbollah will not join in on the conflict and start firing rockets upon the North of Israel. Pray also that Israeli Arabs will not continue to join in with isolated attacks on individuals, etc.

Pray for great wisdom for the military and governmental leaders.

2. The Area Surrounding the Gaza Strip

Pray protection in a special way over the most vulnerable areas close to Gaza. We have a good friend who pastors a Messianic Jewish community in Sderot, where some of the hostages were taken.

Pray protection for them. Pray for miraculous rescues of hostages that were taken by Hamas.

3. The Succat Hallel House of Prayer in Jerusalem

Pray also for our house of prayer in Jerusalem, Succat Hallel (Hebrew for “Tabernacle of Praise”). Pray for protection over the worship watches, and for the watchmen coming and going.

A group of Muslim young men were gathered across the street from Succat Hallel today shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“Our god is greater” — referring to the god of Islam) and “Hamas is in the streets”.

Pray the Lord will give us both courage and wisdom. Heidi Baker had been scheduled to minister to our Jewish and Arab youth this evening, but had to cancel so she could stay close to the students she has here at this time.

Please pray that we (Rick and Patricia) can still be able to fly home tomorrow (Sunday) from Dubai, where we are meeting with spiritual leaders today.

Do not be silent, O God. Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still O God!  For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.  They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones, They have said, Come and let us cut them off from being a nation,  that the name of Israel may be remembered no more…..

But fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.  O let them be confounded and dismayed forever.  Let them be put to shame and perish,  That they may know that You whose name above is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.  (Ps. 83: 1-4; 16-18 NKJV)

Dear Friends of Israel

Greeting from Jerusalem.  As I write this prayer letter, Israel is at war.  I am presently hearing the sound of the IAF jets turning over Jerusalem to make their attacks on HAMAS positions.  Marylois and I were suddenly awakened this Shabbat morning by our missile alert app, warning us of missile attacks in Israel..  Then just a few hours later, the sirens sounded in Jerusalem, warning us on approaching rockets.  We heard the booms and explosions as Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted them, but still more rockets came., and all morning we had missile alerts and attacks near this city.

Israel Suddenly Attacked

Israel was suddenly and unexpectedly attacked this morning.    HAMAs terrorists covertly breached Israel’s security fence which protects this nations from the Gaza strip.  Hamas terrorists using a bulldozer broke through and went on a rampage, shooting up farming villages and towns. Other HAMAS operatives used hang gliders to fly over the security fence and invade Israel.  Other HAMAS “commandos” used rubber zodiac boats to infiltrate settlements.  An IDF military base was taken and soldiers captured.   Many Israelis were also killed or injured or taken hostage.  Current figures released by Israel’s Magen David (Shield of David) emergency services state that over 100 Israelis have been killed, some 900 injured and scores held captive, or missing.  

There is also a  danger that Hezbollah, another terrorist army up in Lebanon, may enter this conflict.  If that is the case, we must be prepared for a long and protracted war.  Please pray Psalm 83 over Israel.  Marylois and I , plus six guests are safe in the House of Peace, but have our missile alert alarms on and are praying.  Stand with us and ask God that the captives are released and that the enemies of Israel may know that the LORD Adonai is Most High over all the earth.

I will write more when there is more information, or needs.  I have attached a photo of Marylois and team praying for Israel, this morning.

Stand with us in Prayer for Israel

Gene and Marylois/House of Peace, Jerusalem.

Consecration of the United States Supreme Court’s 2023-2024 Term https://jerryandkarenellard.org/consecration-of-the-united-states-supreme-courts-2023-2024-term/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=consecration-of-the-united-states-supreme-courts-2023-2024-term https://jerryandkarenellard.org/consecration-of-the-united-states-supreme-courts-2023-2024-term/#comments Fri, 06 Oct 2023 21:15:22 +0000 https://jerryandkarenellard.org/?p=1236 Read more]]> In Washington, D.C., Oct. 1st, Sunday afternoon  was the beginning of our consecrating the Supreme Court to the Lord and heart  preparation and instruction for the Supreme Court oral arguments next day.  His vision was for our group of intercessors to all to be in the Supreme Court chambers during an Oral Argument.  This is the first time ‘this’ has been the mission.  We have the Holy Spirit in us…we are vessels that He flows in and through.  We can impact the atmosphere.  When we are in the same room with the justices, things can happen.  The Holy Spirit is in us and as we are embracing the fear of God in us, things can happen, there is a ‘conducting.’  Chief Justice John Roberts allowed the Oral Argument to go MUCH LONGER than normal.  I wonder if it was because there were about 50 of us intercessors in the room praying under our breath for them?

Phillip Jauregui, our Judicial Action Group leader and the visionary behind consecrating our Supreme Court  gave an anointed presentation of why we as United States citizens have the ‘right’ to consecrate the Supreme Court to the Lord.   Here is Phillip’s outline to bring light to this Supreme Court Consecration:   

Consecration of the United States Supreme Court’s 2023-2024 Term

1. Consecration By. We do not purport to consecrate with authority as Justices, but we exercise the authority we do have.

a. We consecrate in our spiritual authority as children/princes/regents of our Father, King and

Creator, in the Name of Jesus and by the Power of the Holy Spirit.

         b. We consecrate in our authority as citizens of the United States of America, under our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.

1.  The Declaration establishes that our government (Supreme Court) derive their just powers from the consent of the governed (us).

2. The Constitution, which is the Supreme Court law of Nation flows from us. (“We the People …      do ordain and establish this Constitution”)

  3. Consecration To. It is good to consecrate “nazar” away from, but we must first consecrate    “qadash” to God. We are consecrating the Supreme Court in their relationship with God, his ways,      and realm.

  4.  Consecration In. To function properly, the Supreme Court Justices must be consecrated in the  Fear of the Lord.

a. The King “appointed judges in the land … let the fear of the Lord be on you [judges]. Judge carefully, for with the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.” II Chron. 19:5-7.

                     b. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” Prov. 9:10.

c.  Jesus: “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

  5. Consecration For. We consecrate the Supreme Court for the repair of our National Relationship      with God. Our Nation: (1) is in existence by the Law of Nature and Nature’s God, (2) Affirms Rights    Endowed by God (3) is Under God, and (4) Trusts in God.

Yet, our Supreme Court breached our relationship with God, namely in 1962 (prayer in school),            1963 (Bible in school), 1980 (10 Commandments in school). We forgive the Court, ourselves declare and consecrate the Court for the restoration of our National Relationship with God, and petition God to manifest the restoration now.

Karen’s words again:

When God instructed the people to consecrate themselves in Joshua 3:5, it was because He was planning to do WONDERS on their behalf (against the enemy). Something BIG was about to happen on His calendar.  We believe that the consecration of our Supreme Court unto the Lord is also the same in that our merciful and gracious God is about to  do WONDERS among us ‘tomorrow!’  If there was ever a time we need His wonders in our nation it is NOW!

Allan Parker, leader of The Justice Foundation, displayed his brand new book REVERSING ROE V WADE (My Journey with Roe, Doe and God).  Allan communicated with many encouraging words and passed out pocket U.S.Constitutions and ‘We the People’ bookmarks to assist us in our journey as Biblical citizens and praying with understanding and authority.  He still believes the promise of Isa. 28:14-22 is ‘with us’ even to the complete abolition of abortion (murder) in the U.S. 

He reminded us of the words of Lou Engle (and perhaps Eddie James):  “JESUS I PLEAD YOUR BLOOD OVER MY SINS AND THE SINS OF MY NATION.  GOD END ABORTION AND BRING REVIVAL TO AMERICA.  God has ended abortion in the U.S. and about 1/3 of the states (in little over 1 year’s time) substantially restrict abortion.   We are beginning to see a lot of revival in America.”

Frank Seignious of Doulos Ministries shared some powerful spiritual warfare words.  

Jerry led the group in communion…and Jerry and I led the group in worship...the last song of the evening was  a prophetic song God gave me some time ago in a minor key – right for this moment:

‘We invite You in this place, Spirit of the fear of the LORD….we invite You in our Court, Spirit of the fear of the LORD…we invite You in our justices, Spirit of the fear of the LORD, we invite You in D.C., Spirit of the fear of the Lord..’.(with a spontaneous oracle): ‘let a Spirit of Justice be released in our justices.’

(Is. 28:6 NKJV  For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.)

Another translation says…’He will be a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment…”

All 35 of us were anointed with oil and then prayed for one another.  Very powerful time!

Rosh Hashana 2023 / רֹאשׁהַשָּׁנָה 5784

The Jewish New Year 🍏🍯

Rosh Hashana for Hebrew Year 5784 begins at sundown on Friday, 15 September 2023 and ends at nightfall on Sunday, 17 September 2023.

Sept. 16th: Torah Portion: Genesis 21:1-34; Numbers 29:1-6

Sept. 16th:Haftarah: I Samuel 1:1-2:10 · 38 p’sukim

Sept. 17th: Torah Portion: Genesis 22:1-24; Numbers 29:1-6

Sept. 17th: Haftarah: Jeremiah 31:1-19 · 19 p’sukim

Rosh Hashana means ‘Head of the Year’ – it is the first of the high holidays or ‘Days of Awe’    When we lived in Israel, honey and apples were the holiday fare for this special New Year – representing the freshness and sweetness of the Lord in this new year!

Yom Kippur 2023 is Sept. 24-25 (Day of Atonement)

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year.  The only vehicles on the road or interstate in Israel are an occasional police car.  Children can play out on the streets on this day.  It is a ‘common law’ of the land that nobody drives on the Day of Atonement. The Ben Gurion Airport shuts down for 24 hours in observance of the Day of Atonement.  Of course, we understand that Yeshua (Jesus) is our atoning sacrifice.  He is our sabbath rest.  Adonai, we pray that our Jewish friends would become believers in their Messiah, open their eyes to behold their King!

Sukkot is Sept. 29-Oct. 6 (Feast of Tabernacles)

Sukkot is a joyous celebration because God came down to ‘tabernacle’ with us.  No work is going on over in Israel – you see families having meals together and rejoicing in tents made with palm branches.   It is a big family time.  Praying for true fellowship and rejoicing with our LORD during this Bibilcal holiday.

Simchat Torah is Oct. 6-8

Marks the conclusion of the torah readings for the year. Oh, how I love Your law, it is my meditation all the day!  (I wrote a song from this scripture – and I realize the older I get that the Jews have it right to celebrate the Word of God, the Law of God.  Where would we be without God and His Word, His Law, which is His way?  The road that He commands us to travel down for our own good!!  Praise God for His Law!!  This is a joyous holiday!

‘WE HALLOW YOUR NAME’ https://jerryandkarenellard.org/we-hallow-your-name/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=we-hallow-your-name Sat, 02 Sep 2023 17:26:28 +0000 https://jerryandkarenellard.org/?p=1226 Read more]]> Just a few short days ago, I had written a song called ‘We Hallow Your Name.’ Back in 2004 when the Lord began to give me songs, the theme of His holiness and being set apart was a prominent theme in several of my songs, like ‘Holy is the Lord of Hosts’ and ‘Hallowed’ and ‘Holy is the Lord’ and many other ‘holy’ songs. I remember dropping to my knees in the kitchen one day (during the years that time…it was when our children were growing up) because of an overwhelming revelation of God’s holiness.

As I was preparing to sing this new We Hallow Your Name song on our weekly 6:30 a.m. Friday morning Supreme Court Prayer Call, Sept. 1st, I began to weep as I read the words of scripture concerning ‘hallowing’ God’s name. What does it mean to ‘hallow’ God’s name? ‘Hallow’ comes from the root word (Strong’s Number 37) Hagiazo hag-ee-ad’-zo: 1. to render or acknowledge, or to be venerable or hallow 2. to separate from profane things and dedicate to God a. to consecrate things to God b. to dedicate people to God 3. to purify a. to cleanse externally b. to purify by expiation 3. free from the guilt of sin 4. to purify internally by the renewing of the soul

How often do we mindlessly take communion, or talk about God without really being ‘connected’ to Him in Spirit and Truth, aware of His holiness?

In Matthew 6:9 Jesus in teaching us how to pray, He said to use these words: ‘Our FATHER in heaven, HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME…’

Our revelation or lack of revelation of God as Father will directly influence us to hallow or NOT hallow His Name. Jesus was Father-impacted and in a holy sense, ‘motivated’ by His relationship with His Father, and SO MUST WE BE if we are to be intimately connected in fellowship and worshipping the Father in Spirit and Truth (these are the kind of worshippers the Father is seeking, Jesus said – in John 4:24).

So many have ‘father wounds.’ Just like the devil to hit a person where they need to be strong. Lord, forgive us for unfairly comparing You to our earthly fathers, mere human beings, when You are Altogether Lovely, and holy, and perfect, and our Creator, present with us ‘while we were yet unformed in our mother’s womb.’ Lord, You knit is together in the womb

and tell us in Psalm 139 that we are ‘fearfully and wonderfully made’ by You.

Anyways, getting back to hallowing His Name….I pray from reading this short article that we will ALL be lifted into His very presence, into a revelation of His holiness, His perfect love that absolutely casts out fear from us!

The world is changing so fast, but Father God never changes. He has given us many precious promises which we are going to NEED in the days ahead. I pray that having a revelation of His holiness and hallowing Him and His name in our own lives will keep us from compromising with the enemy, hallowing His name will keep us from fearing even for our lives….hallowing His name will cause our prayers to take on a new unction and authority as we worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Hallowing our God’s great Name will keep us ‘sane’ and grounded when ‘insanity’ and deception is all around us. Our God is not just any god. He is the ‘only’ true God. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, He is the God of Israel, He is ‘I Am that I Am.’ He is my God. We will NOT serve false gods of any kind. We will not bow in submission to demons.

HOLY SCRIPTURES to ponder…and worship with….

‘In this manner, therefore, pray: “Our Father in heaven,
 Hallowed be Your name.”’ Matt. 6:9

‘And one called out to another and said,“Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts,The whole earth is full of His glory.”’ Isa. 6:3

And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say,“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.” Rev. 4:8

“Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; For all the nations will come and worship before You,
For Your righteous acts have been revealed.” Rev. 15:4

“But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’” 1 Pet. 1:15-16

Phillipians 2:10-11
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Exod. 3:13-15 – I AM THAT I AM

13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
