A week before this event to be led by Ron and Carol Cantrell for the
second time, Carol emailed Marie and me and asked if we would be
willing to share with three other pastors in prayer for Israel at the
close of the service. We agreed that this would be okay.</p>

But I remembered that Derek Prince had prepared “31 Daily Scripture
Prayer Proclamations to Bless Israel.” (Download “Current Prayer
Guides” at <<b><a href="http://www.ifa-usapray.org/">www.ifa-usapray.org</a>>
</b>or for an email version - write <<b><a href="mailto:PrayScriptureNow@aol.com">PrayScriptureNow@aol.com</a>>.
</b>See Day 8 - <b>“The Lord will </b><u><b>not</b></u><b> forsake
his people for his great name's sake, because </b><u><b>it has
pleased the Lord to make Israel his people</b></u><b>” </b>(1
Samuel 12:22). <u>Congregational Proclamation</u>: <b>“God has </b><u><b>not</b></u><b>
forsaken His people Israel!” Repeat it three times.</b> There is
not such a thing as <u>“Replacement Theology”</u> for Israel. It
is true that the Church - The One New Man - composed of Messianic
Jews and Believing Gentiles” is special in God's sight. But the
“Remnant of Israel” is yet to be a nation born again in a day at
the return of Jesus as Lord!</p>

Secondly, Derek Prince prepared <b>“Proclamations on Behalf of
Israel”</b> which can be arranged for weekly readings starting with
Sunday, and doubling up on Tuesday with 2 verses. Then for Wednesday
we read, <b>“The scepter of the wicked </b><u><b>will not remain
over the land</b></u><b> </b><u><b>alloted to the righteous...”</b></u><b>
</b>Congregational Proclamation: <b>“God has given the land of
Israel as an eternal inheritance.” </b>Repeat three times.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;" align="left">
I read these 2 scripture portions at this time, led the congregation
of over 525 in the Proclamations, and closed in prayer confirming
these two proclamations, and beseeching God to bring them <u>both</u>
to pass according to His Word. This is in accord with George Muller's
use of Scripture in his prayers.</p>

Marie followed this up with another prayer for Israel. Her chief part
was for President Obama on behalf of Israel, “<b>That the fear of
God would enter the life of the President, and that he would
understand God's thinking and decrees for Israel as outlined in His
Word, and that he would lead our nation to fulfill God's purposes for
Israel, the apple of His eye.”</b></p>

In 1944 a fellow sailor in the Canadian Navy in the Victoria vicinity
told me - “<b>You must meet and hear Derek Prince. He's your kind
of teacher and preacher!” </b>Little did I know that 20 years later
Derek Prince would say to me, <b>“I have pastored the Broadway
Tabernacle of Seattle for 8 months - but my parents in England are
ill, and I need to return to them. Should I suggest to Broadway
Tabernacle that they call you at my suggestion to replace me as
pastor, would you be willing to accept their call?” </b>I assured
him I would, and so it came to pass. For 8 years Marie and I led this
congregation. We started this ministry in June of 1964, 20 years
after I first heard of Derek</p>

Through Hubert Mitchell of “Go Ye” Fellowship in 1955, I had been
praying for one key person on each continent. Nicholas Benghu of
Africa was his suggestion for Africa, called the Billy Graham of that
continent, Bakht Singh of India for Asia, and Billy Graham for North
America. A friend of mine asked me in August of '64 - “Would you
like to have Nicholas Benghu speak at your church?” That Wednesday
was our only open date, so I gladly booked him to speak for us in
Derek Prince's former church. When I turned the service over to him
he said, <b>“Every city I visit I ask the Lord, 'What does this
city mean to you?' I have been in Seattle for a month, and return to
Africa tomorrow. Until tonight I have not heard from the Lord. But
tonight as I sat on this platform I heard the Lord say, 'I am going
to visit this city in the not too distant future, and I am going to
use this church to release a significant move of the Spirit.'”</b></p>

What an encouragement that word was to me! I stood upon it for 7
years, for our church had serious problems that preceded the tenure
of Derek Prince. For the next 7 years I was able to go through with
the church difficulties, but in June 1971, some 200 pastors
responded.

For two years God visited us with Seattle <span style="font-style: normal;">I
and Seattle II. 70 pastors continued to meet monthly following that
time. Together we saw the power of the “Children of God” broken
over Seattle, and later the power of the homosexual “Metropolitan
Church of God” broken. They threatened to take 1000 young people
from our Seattle churches. Instead their leader died of AIDS in the
not too distant future. Dennis Bennett of St. Luke's Episcopal church
courageously led our fellowship for two years in seeing these and
many other victories.</span></p>

<span style="font-style: normal;">In February of 1990 I attended a
leader's meeting in Seattle addressed by John Dawson of YWAM,
emphasizing the need of the unity of one church in each city.
Following this challenge, Stan Altaras, grandson of the first
Sephardic Rabbi of Seattle, asked me - “What is your vision for
ministry in this city?” I replied - “In line with John Dawson's
challenge - that a nucleus of some 12 to 20 local churches in each
city should form an eldership in the gate of each respective city.”
He responded, </span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>“Ron
Cantrell, one of the Messianic Jewish pastors of Congregation Beth
Simcha in Federal Way, I am sure, would respond. This is Friday, and
they meet on Saturdays. Here's his phone number - contact him.”</b></span></p>

<span style="font-style: normal;">I immediately followed through, and
Ron confirmed his interest. </span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>“Come
and join us in worship tomorrow on our Sabbath, and make yourself
known.”</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"> Marie joined me
in attending, and when we experienced this worship of some 400 people
under the leadership of Roberta Paulsen, and the challenging message
of Murray Silberling the Senior pastor, we made this our home church
for 18 months until the Silberlings moved to California, and Ron and
Carol Cantrell with their family returned to Israel for their second
time.</span></p>

We have visited the Cantrells in Jerusalem in 1992, and again in
2005, and have taken an interest in supporting their work monthly
since the Fall of 1991. Last year we attended the Mount Vernon Seder
they led with some 400 present. This year they returned, and over 525
attended. Carol led in worship with a distinct anointing upon that
part of the service, and Ron led in an authentic type of Seder Supper
such as Jesus would have conducted just prior to His crucifixion. He
took the part of “Luke,” author of that Gospel.</p>

<span style="font-style: normal;">Ron in a most graphic manner
illustrated the 10 plagues God sent upon Egypt at that time, Most
graphic of all was the 4</span><sup><span style="font-style: normal;">th</span></sup><span style="font-style: normal;">
plague visited upon the god represented by the “Apis” bull. Each
plague was a direct judgment on one of the 10 main gods of Egypt.
Egyptian priests used the “Apis Bull” to bring guidance to Egypt
and her Pharaohs through a 40 square pattern. Later, when God
delivered Israel from Egypt, and when Moses was up in Mount Sinai
receiving the covenant of the 10 commandments, Israel pressured Aaron
to make a reproduction of the Apis Bull to lead them back to Egypt.</span></p>

<span style="font-style: normal;">Several churches in Mount Vernon
cooperated in assisting the Cantrells to put on this graphic and
picturesque presentation of the Passover Seder. Any city of local
churches who will have the Cantrells come and present this in their
city - or any other of a number of presentation that they make - will
</span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>not</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;">
be disappointed!</span></p>

<span style="font-style: normal;">P.S. Just before the death of Derek
Prince in Jerusalem in his late 80's - Carol Cantrell nursed him for
his last two years, and as his secretary helped him publish his last
5 books. Indeed then, God worked “</span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>Wheels
Within Wheels” </b></span><span style="font-style: normal;">like in
Ezekiel, in bringing together many strands that united in a wonderful
way in the recent Mount Vernon Seder presentation.</span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>
<<a href="http://www.shalom-shalom-jerusalem.org/">www.shalom-shalom-jerusalem.org</a>>

Cantrells use to continue their unique and God-glorifying ministry.
