The Messenger

I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. -Isaiah 62:6

BACK FROM THE HOLY LAND & STILL TOUCHING THE NATIONS!

From the rising of the sun...

Spending ve weeks in Israel and living in the heart of Jerusalem has truly set my heart a blaze! Coming home was not easy to say the least. Hopefully you were able to follow along with me during the trip on my blog site! If not, you can still see trip updates at http://megepler.blogspot.com/ Being in the land with the students was absolutely wonderful. It was provoking too on many levels! My responsibility on the trip was to assist the students on their spiritual walk journeys while living in land. It was exciting to dialogue long hours with the students about what they were experiencing in the Word and in the land. The question, I liked to ask the most was; what is the Spirit saying to you now? While it was easy to get

overwhelmed by all of the new sites and information, we sought to hear the voice of the Lord and be led by the Spirit. Many times our dialogue and debrief times would end in worship, adoration, and testimonies of what the Lord was doing in our hearts. I was most impacted when I visited the 24/7 house of prayer in Jerusalem. Succat Hallel has functioned as a 24/7 house of prayer for 8 years and is located outside the Old City walls facing the Tower of David and the Mt. of Olives. On my rst visit, I walked through the double doors of the small building and couldnt make it past the lobby! I felt the presence of the Lord so strong inside that I wept. I felt the Lord whisper to my spirit, I LOVE THIS PLACE! I sat down and looked out the windows that overlook the city and heard the verse, Malachi 1:11!

pure offering; For My name shall be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.

For from the rising of the sun,

even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; In every place incense shall be offered to My name, and a

The Lord is truly raising up prayer and worship among the nations to partner with His heart and release His plans and promises in the earth. The Word declares that He is rebuilding in the corporate body the Tabernacle of David to usher His return and release His plans in the earth as it is in Heaven! Amos 9:11 The Word of God declares that we are His Royal Priesthood! Ex. 19:6; 1 Peter 2:9 It was so encouraging to see the communities of prayer and worship rising up within the messianic community in Israel. I was able to connect and establish good relationship with a few while visiting. The messianic community is only 23,000, but going strong and unied! The Gentile and Jew coming together as One in Christ is how He is building and raising up the Church!

IMMERSE Training Program Update and a Personal Testimony...

I am still working with the 8-day training program that we launched in January of this year and the Lord has really shown up! Thus far, we have had over 100 participants come visit the missions base and attend the program. Many of which came from overseas to receive training, be encountered by the Lord, and return to build or strengthen houses of prayer across the globe! We are beginning our next track today (June 9th) and I will be teaching on the Holy Spirit, Fellowshipping and ministering with Him! It is a joy to share in the lives of these interns of how the Lord has encountered me and how He desires to encounter them! For more information on this program check out http://www.ihop.org/immerse/ Personally, I would like to share some exciting news with you! Many of you met a very special and handsome guy who visited Fayetteville with me this past Mothers Day, but for those of you who didnt, Id like to ll you in! Daniel Kemp and I met this past January on a group rock climbing adventure with some fellow mission base friends and immediately were drawn to each other! Our rst conversation centered around the fact that we had both torn our ACLs and that we both had a passion for Israel! After many group outings, Daniel received my fathers blessing and the support of spiritual parents here to pursue me! Together we have been on a courtship journey for almost ve months now, to learn what it means to be the Bride of Christ and how we can be used to display Jesus (the Bridegroom) relationship to the Bride (us the church). We are currently going through a pre-engagement class together and growing nearer to the Lord and to one another in love.

Would you consider praying for us along this journey?

Neither one of us have ever been in a courtship (dating with the purpose of moving towards marriage with accountability and guidance) and desire to know the Lords plans for our future as we take into consideration what joining two lives together with the Lord looks like! Pray for the Lord, to give wisdom and clarity in this time. Ask for Him to reveal His plans and promises to us and to guard us in the process. We desire to do His will and His alone! Pray updates and words are welcomed and coveted if you feel led to share!

Happy Fathers Day to you Dads and Thank you for your support!
