BLESS THE LAND
WATCHMEN ON THE HILLS
"Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord God..." Ezekiel 36:6
Watchmen on the Hills Prayer Tour
The Watchmen on the Hills prayer journey is both an exciting tour aneffectual means of blessing/strengthening the land of Israel and Judah. Our prayer journeys will include: staying at a kibbutz, visiting historical sites, and building relationships with resident Believers, Israelites and Messianic Jews. However, the primary purpose of the tours is to go to the hill and mountain heights and pray over Israel, as watchmen. We will implement Spirit-led praise, worship with psalms, and make prophetic proclamations while using shofars and simple musical instruments. By His grace, we will go forth to sing the song of the Lord under the anointing of the Spirit. These are holy, powerful, biblical methods for exalting Yeshua, pulling down wicked strongholds, and establishing God's kingdom and order in the area of focus.
Our Prayer Tour is a corporate undertaking, yet every individual is encouraged to participate at each prayer site. Daily prayer preparations and strategies, along with tour itinerary plans, will be discussed, decided apon, and published prior to the trip in order that everyone can arrive in Israel prepared. BTL intends to cooperate with selected ministries who share our vision--the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel with the return of Messiah Yeshua--and who have demonstrated committed and fruitful leadership and service to Israel and Judah.

"...prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel..." Ezekiel 36:1
Joshua and his Weapons at Jericho
"...the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the Ark...So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets...and the wall fell flat down." Joshua 6:9, 20
Order! Holiness! Faith! Joshua marched into a great victory.
Jericho represents strongholds, principalitites, and powers of iniquity in this world; that which would deny the diety of Yeshua, and resist the kingdom and glory of God. The city's fall reveals the relationship between the human instruments anointed of YHVH and His divine power in spiritual conflict. The inhabitants of Jericho laughed at the war method of Israel. To the workers of iniquity the instruments of Yeshua seem feeble, even today. 1 Corinthians 1:18 confirms this: "The preaching [a spiritual weapon] of the cross is to them that are perishing foolishness."
But outer appearances are very often false and undependable standards of judgment, especially in spiritual matters. Holy power often works through the weakest and simpliest, most dependent vessels. Indeed, "God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise".
Israel marched with holy order and faith in YHVH, and proud Jericho was defeated. Trumpet blasts, along with shouts, praise and songs, brought its tall, impregnable walls down flat! Divinely inspired Believers employing anointed spiritual weapons, mighty through God, always triumph over material force and spiritual wickedness.
This is what Yeshua says to us: "Believe only, and thou shalt see the glory of YHVH." John 11:20
"The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart; that is, the Word of faith." Romans 10:8
Come with us. We will meet and bless the people, and proclaim His Word over Israel. Let's believe to see His glory on the hills and mountains, cities and towns.

Examples and Inspiration
"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds." 2 Cor. 10:3-4
The combative Apostle Paul was sent to preach the Gospel in Asia Minor and parts of Europe. He was a man of prayer and praise, familiar with spiritual warfare, and he fought a good fight using powerful weapons. [See Ephesians 6.] Paul learned that the weapons of Spirit-anointed prayer, preaching, sanctifcation, praise, worship, and prophetic proclamation demolish sin and demonic strongholds. We too have learned that these spiritual methods are mighty through God, and that they subjugate wicked thoughts and defeat the power of corrupt schemes and intentions. They pull down false ideas, expose malicious motives, and displace malevolent powers and the rulers of darkness of this world. Unchallenged spiritual wickedness in high places brings people and nations into depravity, corruption and then bondage. Believers need weapons that are mighty through God in their personal challenges and public conflicts today just as Paul needed them two thousand years ago. We will put them into practice in the land of Israel during our prayer tours. Only holy spiritual weapons will liberate the hearts and minds of humankind, and render people free to be obedient to Messiah Yeshua.
Today, Israel (as well as America) is struggling under the weight and oppression of spiritual wickedness, evil schemes, and malevolent principalities. She is in need of the healing and uplifting prophetic Song of the Lord (the balm of Gilead) sung over her hills, valleys, and towns by anointed Believers who long to see her blessed and recognizing her Messiah. Israel is in need of watchmen, like Paul, who are equipped and skilled with divinely anointed weapons, and who will pray and sing over Israel without ceasing, at home...and in the land.
We have the weapons. We are anointed. We are also sent. Let us therefore proceed in our journey to Israel with joy and confidence. By reading below we will be reminded how praise and prayer are effective spiritual weapons which dislodge principalitiies and dark powers, and bring forth the glory and kingdom of God
"Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
"Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Eph. 6:10-12
"But ye have an unction from the Holy One..."
1 Jn. 2:20
