Prayers Against the Rising Evil in the Middle East

Prophetic Intel—ISIS Seaport Strategy

Perhaps the most astounding part of the call was a prophetic warning about ISIS seeking to overtake a seaport. Remember we are not to be ignorant of what James called “the devil’s adversarial blueprints.”

“Two Saturdays ago, I lingered with the Lord, paused, rested,” James said. “Rest is the incubation bed of revelation. So Saturday I was lingering. And a whole new thing was coming to me—one of the next plots or ploys to watch out for in dealing with ISIS.”

According to James, “I saw something before it happens, and I do not want it to happen. Territories and cities were lighting up with fire, but this was a distraction for another plan. They want a seaport.”

In pursuit of this goal, James saw how ISIS was planning to sweep through Syria and even cut a swath through Lebanon to the Mediterranean Sea. “I saw in this troop of enemy darkness, dark flags, dark hats, marching through Syria and cutting Lebanon in half. One of the reasons they want a seaport in the Med is that is part of ISIS’ next major plot or plan.”

I See a Strategic City

While eyes are on other hot spots, this could be used as a form of distraction. ISIS or ISIL wants to take a swath through the middle of Syria and wants to cut Lebanon in half, to ultimately get a seaport. James stated, “I believe in prayer we can cut this off before it happens.” 

“But another strategic city lit up to me. I saw a map with a city’s name written out: Aleppo. This is highly strategic. Why?” James mused … “I do not know for sure. But I sense there is a hidden chemical weapons factory there and a military base not far away with fighter jets.” Watch the battle over Kopani and Aleppo. (This too has already been confirmed with 3 fighter jets getting into the hands of ISIS.)

There is so much more to share and prayer about than was stated through these strategic prayer calls. But let’s close with the last encouraging dream James received.

I WANT TO POSSESS YOU!

Just this week on Wednesday morning, before our call this last Wednesday night, James was given another significant dream which is recorded on the posted prayer call. 

“I was lying in my bed and a hot electric blanket came upon me. The external voice of the Lord came into my bedroom and declared, ‘I want to possess every fiber of your being with my Presence.’ This was similar to the time when Samuel Howells prayed over me years ago at the Swansea Bible College of Wales. The son of Rees Howells the intercessor stated to me, ‘You must understand, the Lord’s servant was possessed by God!'”

It seems to me that the Lord is offering once again the mantle of “Crisis Intervention through Intercession“. “This was not an experience that was for me alone. It was a word for all of us who volunteer freely in the day of His power. Be possessed by God! This is the key to effective intercession. It is not as much about methodology—it is about God who possesses His people to alert us ahead of time. We are not called to only pray to God, but to be seated with Christ in the heavenly places and learn to pray with God for such a time as this.”
