Pray – Jerry and Karen Ellard Ministries https://jerryandkarenellard.org "To awaken God's people with heaven's sound releasing breakthrough in the United States, Israel and the nations" Fri, 31 May 2024 21:30:53 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1 Let Israel’s vindication come from Your presence https://jerryandkarenellard.org/let-israels-vindication-come-from-your-presence/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=let-israels-vindication-come-from-your-presence Wed, 29 May 2024 19:58:55 +0000 https://jerryandkarenellard.org/?p=1392 Read more]]> We love leading worship on ICEJ’s Global Prayer Gathering (where 800+ people gather from all across the world) originating from Jerusalem!  We hope you will tune into this anointed prayer time for Israel. (icej.org) We have had the privilege of leading worship on May 1st, May 13th, May 25th and May 30th this month.  On the 25th, there was a real anointing to flow in the prophetic and flow in victorious warfare on Israel’s behalf!  

Yesterday (May 30, 2024) I ran across a few articles about the floating pier in Gaza being destroyed and sunk. The journalists were asking ‘was this an act of God?’ After researching on my computer and phone, I saw the date I had ‘received’ a prophetic song about the ‘sinking’ of this floating pier – it was on March 28th (while we were on the ICEJ Global Prayer Gathering, where we sang this ‘new’ song):

‘We the body of Christ, declare a sinking of the plans of the enemy, sink this floating pier that is trying to bring trouble into Gaza, stop in the name of Yeshua, we call every evil plan to nothing in the name of Yeshua.’

‘Israel do what you need to do to wipe out this demonic force in the name of Yeshua, until Gaza is liberated, until Gaza is liberated: sink it, bring it down in the name of Yeshua, sink it, bring it down in the name of Yeshua!’

On May 27, 2024, I received another new song, LET ISRAEL’S VINDICATION COME FROM YOUR PRESENCE (Ps. 17:2) – the inspiration originated from this ICEJ Global Prayer Gathering when Pastor Peter Tsukahira from Haifa was mentioning the word ‘vindication’  re:  Israel being ‘vindicated’  by the LORD.  

The next day, I ran across this scripture in Psalm 17 and was ‘blown away’ by verse 2(a) ‘Let my vindication come from Your presence.’  – and below is the beginning of my new song. When. you read the lyrics, understand that it is straight from scripture (Ps. 17:2, Ps. 68, Psalm 114:7) though I have ‘personalized’ Ps. 17:2 and Ps. 114:7). To the believer, God’s presence is wonderful, but to the wicked, the presence of God is terrorizing.

Let Israel’s vindication come from Your presence,
Your presence Your presence
Let Israel’s vindication come from Your presence,
Your presence, Your presence

Tremble, O earth, Tremble Hamas, Tremble,
God’s enemies at the presence of the LORD
Tremble, O earth, Tremble Qatar, Tremble Hezbollah
at the presence of the LORD

The mountains are shaking at Your presence To make Your name known to Your enemiesThat the nations may tremble at Your presence. Let God arise, Let God arise

Let the wicked perish at the presence of the LORD, Let the wicked perish at the presence of the LORD
Let those who hate Him flee from before Him, let God arise, let God arise!
Let Israel’s vindication come from Your presence,
Your presence Your presence
Let Israel’s vindication come from Your presence,
Your presence, Your presence

Tremble, O earth, Tremble Hamas, Tremble,
God’s enemies at the presence of the LORD
Tremble, O earth, Tremble Qatar, Tremble Hezbollah
at the presence of the LORD KarenSchradeEllard©2

LET THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD BE RELEASED IN ISRAEL, LET THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD BE RELEASED IN AMERICA, LET THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD BE RELEASED IN THE EARTH!

We must stand with Israel in prayer and whatever ways the Lord shows us.  We would not have our Messiah, we would not have our Bible, we would not have our ‘faith’ if it was not for the ‘vehicle’ God used of the nation of Israel.  We can so easily forget the roots of our faith.  They are not from the U.S. or the West – but they are from Israel.  Israel is fighting a JUST WAR.  Our prayer for Israel is that they will fight until the enemy is completely annihilated.  Complete victory is Biblical.  It is how David did it, how God told Israel to defeat their enemies.  The enemies of Israel are the enemies of God.  Hamas is really fighting God.  How do you ‘get to God’ on this earth?  You go to the closest people to Him.  ISRAEL.  The Jewish people are Jesus’ or Yeshua’s brethren.   

I also pray with all my heart for Israel to be saved – that the veil comes off the  heart and the eyes, that the manifestation of Ezekiel 36 happens in our day, our time, NOW!!!!!  May God give us a supernatural burden to pray for Israel until…..the Spirit is poured out from on high and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field….

KAIROS time to PRAY for SUPREME COURT https://jerryandkarenellard.org/kairos-time-to-pray-for-supreme-court/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=kairos-time-to-pray-for-supreme-court Tue, 28 May 2024 21:42:42 +0000 https://jerryandkarenellard.org/?p=1385 Read more]]> NOW (May thru end of June 2024) IS THE TIME TO PRAY FOR OUR 9 SUPREME COURT JUSTICES

These cases, along with a host of other cases this year, will help determine how United States law is applied regarding justice, politically motivated prosecutions, and the issue of life. These cases seem to be on track to provoke the same level of animosity and intimidation towards the Justices as seen in 2022.  We MUST PRAY protection over our justices and that they will operate only in the fear of the LORD.

The Supreme Court Justices normally release their opinions the last week in June, when their 2024 term is ending.  So, NOW ‘is’ the time to pray in faith for them to fulfill their duties before God and the American citizens they represent.  We invite you to join us in praying a  ‘key’ scripture for our justices. We have been praying this from 2 Chronicles 19:5-7 NKJV.  God gave me a song almost verbatim from this scripture:
VERSE:
“Jehoshaphat set judges throughout the land throughout all the cities of Judah
He said to the judges ‘take heed’ what you are doing for you do not judge for man but for the LORD!

The LORD is ‘with you’ in the judgements – NOW, therefore,
let the FEAR OF THE LORD BE UPON YOU, BE UPON YOU!  
Take care and do it, for you do not judge for man, but for THE LORD YOUR GOD.   For there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, no partiality, nor taking of bribes!

CHORUS:
Let the FEAR OF THE LORD BE UPON YOU,
Let the FEAR OF THE LORD BE UPON YOU
Lay everything aside, for such a time as this you’ve been called into the Kingdom
Let the FEAR OF THE LORD BE UPON YOU, AMEN!!!”   KarenSchradeEllard˙2024

For those of you who feel compelled by the Spirit of God to inform yourselves and to pray for our Supreme Court ‘for such a time as this’ please avail yourselves of this excellent up-to-date Supreme Court prayer resource by our trusted friend and brilliant leader of Judicial Action Group, Phillip Jauregui.

Prayer Briefing

The Supreme Court’s Esther Moment in The 2023-2024 Term

Updated: May 10, 2024

As we pray for God’s Justice and the reversal of injustice in our Nation, please read the Book of Esther for strategic insight on how to pray for the Supreme Court Justices to accept their “Esther Moment” and to correct attempts to abuse our courts unjustly persecute political opponents.

Read Esther and pray for: (1) God’s people in this nation to be like Mordecai by exhort the Justices of the Supreme Court to align with God and His justice, (2) Our Supreme Court Justices to be like Esther by choosing to fear God, risking their lives to save the nation, and standing for justice and the salvation of the people of God in this nation, and (3) God to issue justice.

Apply the following Scriptures and Petitions to God for the Court.

  1. Word: “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne” Psl. 89:14 Prayer: Father, bring Your Justice to Supreme Court cases this year, and reverse all injustice. Word: 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.” Luke 12:4-5. Word: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Prov. 9:10. Word: 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. Prayer: Father, may our Justices welcome a baptism in the Fear of the Lord so that they are immunized against all other fears, causing them to rule justly with no injustice, partiality or bribery, with the result that our elections are fair and true.

The following are cases to address.

  1. U.S. v. Trump (Jack Smith corrupt criminal prosecution of Trump for fake J6 insurrection). Presently, SCOTUS is deciding whether President Trump has immunity for official acts that occurred while he was President. Just result: President Trump does have immunity for official acts while President. Thank God: that SC took this case and stated the issue in a way that seems favorable.
  2. U.S. v. Trump (Presidential documents case). Judge Cannon in FL. Trial date was set for May 26? Indefinitely postponed and likely to not occur before the election. The federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case has ordered President Trump’s lawyers and special prosecutor Jack Smith’s team to prepare for the public release of materials.
  3. Trump v. [??] After the Colorado Ballot Access victory for Trump, a question could arise as to whether facts could support a Congressional finding that Trump committed insurrection. Just result: Trump did not engage in insurrection and no finding to the contrary is supported by the facts. Therefore, Congress has no authority to remove Trump from the ballot when no facts support a finding of insurrection. Thank God: that SC ruled in favor of Trump in CO Ballot case already.
  4. Fisher v. U.S. (criminal prosecution of J6ers with inapplicable financial fraud law to prevent document destruction; the result also applies to Trump). Presently, the SCOTUS heard oral arguments and should rule by June. Just result: Ordered that financial fraud law cannot be used to prosecute J6ers and Trump, further that the J6 insurrection narrative is severely weakened in the process. Thank God: the SC took this case which was a miracle.
  5. N.Y. v. Trump (D.A. Alvin Bragg corrupt criminal prosecution of Trump with fake allegations of falsifying business records / so called “Hugh Money” case). Just result: Not guilty and exoneration of Trump, whether at trial, NY Appeals, or SCOTUS.
  6. N.Y. v. Trump (A.G. Letitia James corrupt civil fraud trial for valuation of Trump business assets). Presently, there is a judgment of $454 Million against Trump. Just result: Appeals courts in NY or the SCOTUS will fully reverse with zero liability by Trump. Thank God: that the bond was reduced to $175 Million.
  7. Georgia v. Trump (D.A. Fani Willis corruptly filed criminal indictments against Trump and 18 others who properly sought to prevent election fraud and stolen elections in the Georgia 2020 elections.) Presently, the case is pre-trial with recent allegations that Willis personally benefited from tax-payer funds by paying her lover $650,000 in legal fees for prosecuting Trump and using that money to fund their lifestyle and trips.

“It comes as Georgia’s appeals court on May 8 agreed to take up an [interlocutory] appeal filed by President Trump’s lawyers, who are seeking to disqualify Ms. Willis over allegations surrounding her relationship with Mr. Wade. In March, Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Ms. Willis could stay on the Trump case if Mr. Wade leaves, although he wrote that an “odor of mendacity” remains.”

“Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis suggested she will not testify before the Georgia Senate committee investigating her after the panel threatened to subpoena her ….”

“The Senate committee chairman, Republican state Sen. Bill Cowsert, told a local Fox station in an interview that his committee has the power to make her testify, adding that she could be held in contempt if she doesn’t cooperate.

“I sure hope it doesn’t get to that,” Mr. Cowsert told the station. “If she’s not willing to come and explain her conduct, then we will subpoena her and ask her to come, require her to come.”

Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, a Republican, wrote on social media that “if subpoenaed by the Committee, [Ms. Willis] will be required to appear or she will be in violation of Georgia law.” Just result: Not guilty and exoneration of Trump and allies. Thank God: that Willis and Wade have been exposed already

8. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said he filed a request as part of an investigation into whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) coordinated with multiple state prosecutors handling cases against former President Donald Trump.

In a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed on May 9, the Republican attorney general asked the DOJ to provide communications from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, and Special Counsel Jack Smith related to the investigations or prosecutions of President Trump.

Esther Song https://jerryandkarenellard.org/esther-song/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=esther-song Mon, 04 Mar 2024 18:26:03 +0000 https://jerryandkarenellard.org/?p=1350 Read more]]> ESTHER SONG – KarenSchradeEllard©2024 / HOW IT CAME ABOUT:

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.

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.

1 Kings 3:9

“Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil.  For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”

1 Kings 3:10-14 NKJV

‘The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. [11] Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, [12] behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. [13] And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. [14] So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”

1 Kings 3:28 NKJV

And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.

1 Kings 4:29-31 NKJV

And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. [30] Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. [31] For he was wiser. than all men-than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.
