It’s the Sabbath here in Israel a day we would like to rest and reflect on the important things in our life, our relationship with God, our family and friends it is a day to also rest in the spirit and take a break from the stress the past week brought.  But rest hasn’t come to me on this Sabbath for there is within my spirit an urgency, one that drives me forward in preparation for ministry ahead of us, not knowing the complete story and only knowing that without the guidance of the Rauch Hakoddesh (Holy Spirit) there is no chance we will be successful in saving Jewish lives. 

All day I’ve had thoughts of massive military might gathering all around us, I’ve seen in my spirit horrible things and somehow I know the time of these events are near, very near.  For the day is also near that Israel will be standing all alone with no friends to come to her rescue, and it will be God alone who can save us, and even He will hold back until there has been a cleansing in the hearts of Israel. 

So many times I’ve asked God why a ministry for boats to bring Jews here if things are going to be so terrible here?  Then there arises inside of me a trembling fear for questioning God for He will not be mocked.  Knowing that seldom are things as they seem in the natural when we are moving in God’s Spirit for He is supernatural and nothing is too hard for Him.  It then becomes very clear that we have no choice but to be obedient to God’s calling for His Word will come to pass and He cannot lie. 

(Isa. 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

There is therefore no doubt that God will brings our boats through with the Jews that He will gather for the journey across the sea to Israel.  As for the massive foreign naval presence in the Eastern Mediterranean, God will make the path clear for us.  At the right time there will be a Word of Knowledge and A Word of Wisdom and that will give us the knowledge and wisdom of God.  There was a prophecy over this Ministry in Cyprus that there would be a wall of fire around the boat that will be only seen by the enemy. 

With the deterioration of the relationship between Turkey and Israel one would think it would close doors for this Ministry, but it isn’t so and Connie and I will be traveling to Turkey the first of the month.  Our boat will go back in the water after the much needed repairs has been finished, making her completely sea worthy, with only a few navigation electronics needed. 

We will be looking at larger boats still believing that somehow God’s chosen ones will come forward with the needed finances.  In the natural our concerns are for the value of the dollar for one would not have to be very smart to know the dollar is headed for very hard times and we are praying that we will not be found wanting when it is to late for the dollar to buy the needed boat.  We will be looking at Gullets over 35 meters or around 120 feet capable of still coming into the smaller marinas but will be able to bring at least 100 or more across the Med.  For such a good used boat in sea worthy condition it will cost around $400,000 - $1 million.  With the two 60-footers we now have we will be able to pick up in different places and that will be necessary when the time comes. 

Over the past few months I’ve mentioned the need to establish communications with the right people in the right way and I dare not go into details.  But this calls for us to travel and meet face to face with the right people.  The need to get the word out across Europe in the right places in the Jewish communities is also very important and much more of that must be done. 

In conclusion, yes things are going to get really bad around here (Israel) and yes it could be impossible or at least super dangerous in the natural to complete this Ministry, but we are not depending on the natural we are following the leading of the Rauch Hakoddesh (Holy Spirit) and God is only choosing those who He will to bless this Ministry, for many are called but few are chosen. 

For this Ministry we have no choice but to go forward for we have heard the voice of God clearly, we could be moving into the final stages and your obedience is very important.  Please pray for Connie and I as we travel through Turkey making some very important and necessary contacts.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and al the IDF soldiers.  Pray for this Ministry and your part in it.

Shalom, jerry golden
