The Continuing Saga of the MOI
A few days ago Richard and I went to the MOI, Ministry of Interior to request an extension on my Israeli passport which they denied to renew. They were also threatening to revoke my Israeli citizenship although I've been a citizen for 14 years! When they said they wanted to interview not only Richard and I but also our daughter (!) we called our lawyer who immediately drove from Haifa to refute this. We were able to speak with the head of the MOI in our area and after the meeting, our lawyer said, "This is pure harrassment!"
So after arriving home rather broken, I picked up my guitar and began to worship the L-rd. After awhile I put down my guitar and suddenly the phone rang. It was the MOI saying that I could come and get my passport the next day! This was the same day "You'll Arise" from 2 Chron 7:14 was released on video - Hallelujah!
When I awoke the next day, the L-rd instructed me to bring two nails and drive them into the ground in front of the MOI. This act of intercession was for repentance of generational iniquities of cursing Messiah, which was done by my family who lived in Mea She'arim, the ultra-Orthodox stronghold in Jerusalem and on behalf of other believers who have similar bloodlines. After driving the nails into the ground and repenting, I walked into the MOI and they took my information for a ten-year passport with nothing they had threatened to do. When we told our lawyer, he said he was cautiously optimistic, but he had never heard of the MOI acting so quickly! At this time I have no Israeli passport but we are praying the MOI will do what they said they'd do...
The next day we received word from our lawyer that an interview will be required after we return from our journey. So it looks like my citizenship is still being threatened but we are praising the L-rd for His victories one step at a time! Stay tuned - this saga isn't over yet so we truly thank you for your love and prayers!
