God Will Open the Way
An excerpt from a video message by Jane Hansen Hoyt Red Sea Intercession
We're all so aware of the ongoing current situation in Israel. We have friends there. Israel is in our hearts because we as a ministry, Aglow International, have traveled into Israel for 20 years or more. God has just built something within us. We stand with them, but we also stand as them. We are one in spirit and heart and purpose. We're so aware of what has been spoken in the Word related to God's people, the Jewish people, and the land of Israel. It's a place where Jesus will return. He is coming back, and He will put His feet down in Jerusalem in Israel. We cover the purposes of God for the people and the land. At this time in history, with so many threats and the things that are coming against them, attitudes and Antichrist spirit, there's a concern in all of our hearts that causes us to listen to the news in a particular way and focus our prayers throughout the day. We just carry them in our hearts.
I think of the history of the Jewish people as they stood on the shores of the Red Sea with the enemy coming behind them. There was nowhere to go. But God opened the waters and they passed through on dry land. And truly, they're living in a similar place today with bombs and all manner of threats focused upon them. They live with a constant awareness of the enemy wanting to destroy them. Yet, I can also see, of course, our friends who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, being strengthened. We can hear in their messages the very strength of the Lord and the anointing on their words drawing people's attention to God Almighty to intervene on their behalf. They're witnessing it and living it day after day after day.
It's a time to take seriously the need for prayer and the intensity with which the battle is raging. It's a time to step into the fray with our intercession to declare God’s purposes for Israel, and the Jewish people. Let's do that together.
Pray and Declare Over Israel
- But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. – Isaiah 43:1-2
- But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the descendants of Abraham My friend. You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest regions, and said to you, ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them. Those who contended with you, those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing. For I, the Lord your God will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’ – Isaiah 41:8-13
- And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians [those who seek to destroy you] whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” – Exodus 14:13-14
Prophetic Declarations – Step into the Fullness
From the moment they are spoken, prophetic words belong to us and must become as real in our hearts as they are in the heart of God. As the prophetic word is spoken, see God standing in the future, speaking back to you in the present. He is telling you who you are becoming. Be encouraged!
In her blog, A Ministry in Transition Hansen Hoyt reminds us of numerous powerful words the Lord has given to Aglow. Here are a few of that she shared from Dutch Sheets at our 2017 Jubilee Conference. As you declare these words in agreement, ask the Lord what steps you can take to live in the fullness of God’s intentions for Aglow International – through your life, through your local Aglow group, in your nation.
- You are going to reach down and grab entire tribes and people groups around the world…and you are going to pull them through the right-time window.
- You are going to grab the Covenant of the past, you are going to grab the promises and your are going to keep the foundation strong and you are going to use that to fight in the future. God is going to give back to you the words, the prophecies, and the dreams of those before you.
- You are going to model the Ecclesia.
- You are going to model what it means to be one who moves in kingly intercession where you not only petition upward, you decree downward. You not only ask the Father to do it, you command for the Father and the Son that it be done.
- Signs and wonders will be part of this movement.
- Dreams and visions will be a regular part and you will move into the new and we commission you do it in the Name of Jesus.

A Note and A Prayer
We in Aglow International are certainly people of prayer. Everything we do is built on a foundation of prayer, covered in prayer, and led by the Holy Spirit as we pray continually. When we encounter a crisis, big or small, our first response is to pray. When we break through into the victory of answered prayer, we eagerly offer prayers of thanksgiving and worship. We always pray! Ephesians 6:18 says, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication . . .” What is supplication? Supplication means to seek earnestly for benefits. When we ask for God’s benefits, we are not begging God to meet our most meager needs. No! We are seeking His blessing and favor. In this way, in the middle of the spiritual warfare described in the rest of Ephesians 6, we can flourish and thrive rather than merely survive. That’s what God wants for us! He wants us to flourish. He wants us to thrive. Even in the most intense spiritual battles or challenges of life, God daily loads us with benefits (Psalm 68:19). So, while we’re praying for breakthrough, deliverance, healing and all those things we passionately pray for, let’s remember to always seek His blessing and favor! The goal of our prayer is so much more than just survival. Aim higher! Aim for the blessings of God as we dwell in His glorious Presence!
Lord, my heart is full of supplication for my sisters and brothers of Aglow around the world today. As You meet all of their needs, I ask that You load them with all the benefits of Your Kingdom. You are El Shaddai, the God Who is more than enough. So, let Your blessing and favor overflow in their lives, in their homes, throughout the ministry of Aglow. We step more fully into the abundant life You came to give us. Thank You, Lord, as we pray in Your Mighty Name, Amen!
God bless you as you pray,
Nancy McDaniel
Prayer Director
Aglow International
