CALL to PRAYER - Bells of Change
We want to invite everyone everywhere to pray 8.12am on 27th July - please forward this invitation on.
At 8.12am on 27th July 2012 the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games are calling for bells to be rung across our nations : any bell, anyone, anywhere www.allthebells.com
We feel this is a very significant moment and want to invite everyone to pray wherever they are on that day! We long to see a spiritual turning in our nation.
It is 70 years ago to the day when Winston Churchill called for the bells to be rung after the first battle of El Alamein ended on 27th July 1942 with a stalemate. The bells marked a turning point. After the second battle of El Alamein which ended on 3rd November 1942 there was victory. He recalled 'before El Alamein we never had a victory, after El Alamein we never had a defeat'.
• Bells were rung on 3 June at the Jubilee Pageant carried on the bell barge and were answered by church bells along the Thames.
• Bells will ring on 27th July 2012 at 08.12am
• A 27 ton bell will ring at 9pm on 27 July. It is twice the size of Big Ben and the largest tuned bell in Europe and will ring in the Olympic Stadium to start London 2012. It will carry the quote from The Tempest 'Do not be afeard; the isle is full of noises '.
A number of people have been carrying words about the significance of bells:
Jonathan Bellamy http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/life/The_Bells_Of_Change/47694/p1
Beni Johnson of Bethel Church had a recent word about the bells ringing in England Beni Johnson's Word for UK - May 2012
Kathie Walters www.kathiewaltersministry.com who has mobilized thousands around the world to pray during the Jubilee and for the start of the games.
World Prayer Centre has put together some scriptures and prayers for you to use; but feel free to pray how the Lord leads on that morning. Download the Call to Prayer 27th July sheet http://www.worldprayer.org.uk/files/2012/07/Call-to-Prayer-27-July-8.12am-WPC-27_07_12.pdf.

A National day of Repentance for WALES, Wednesday 26th September 2012
"I will remove the iniquity and guilt of this land in a single day." (Zech 3:9)
DAY OF ATONEMENT
(YOM KIPPUR;יוֹם כִּפּוּר )
A National day of Repentance for WALES
Wednesday 26th September 2012
(Sundown on 25th to sundown on 26th ie 24hrs)
We will gather as a Nation across this land to fast, pray and humble ourselves before Almighty God on this day to confess our sins in obedience to His word, including any offence we’ve caused the Jewish people. This is the only day of the year that Almighty God commanded His people to fast and it is considered to be the most holy day of the year - a perfect day for us to meet together.
Last year, while preparing for the Day of Atonement I ‘saw’ the whole of Wales being blanketed by people praying on their knees crying out to God. I knew that the vision was for 2012
If you are organizing a meeting or a gathering to pray on the land could you please ‘send’ this back to me with your details – many thanks.

PLAN OF ACTION
Let us blanket Wales with our tears and prayers. We pray that God in His mercy and goodness will bestow upon us the spirit of repentance and also intercession. It would be good to follow the heavenly pattern and pray from the Feast of Trumpets 17th September blowing shofars each day for the 10 days which leads up to, and includes the Day of Atonement. This would be a good preparation time to prepare our hearts. Some may feel to fast for 10 days, however the Lord may lead you. Please don’t feel excluded if you can’t fast for different reasons. Your prayers and intercession are most important.
Praise and worship are essential as we rise up as worshipping warriors in this battle for our nation and also Israel ‘keeping our eyes fixed on Him Jesus (Yeshua) the author and finisher of our faith’. We bless Wales to be who God created her to be before the foundations of the World. We’re in the very blood - line of Yeshua now. Nothing should be impossible for us. We’ll see this nation changed, and we’ll revive this land of song again. We’ll sing four worship songs to our God at the same time all over Wales – so that Wales itself will hear the ‘sound’ again. I believe she has never forgotton that sound.

At the depths. A revival prayer in song by Jane Woodford.
We’ll go for Tuesday night 8pm and Wednesday at 11am.
Psalm 133 says ‘How wonderful it is, how pleasant when brothers dwell together in unity’. It is like fragrant oil on the head .......
Let us row this boat together.
The Day of Atonement covers 24 hrs commencing Tuesday. It would suit some people to have an evening meeting on the Tuesday which would be good. We especially need to cover the nightwatch, whatever time is appropriate for you. Psalm 134. Others would be able to organize day meetings on the Wednesday. Choose your own time/times and please have the freedom to do so. We pray that the Lord will organize us to cover these 24hrs across the land.
Some intercessors will be called to repent and pray on the land itself. We need to ask forgiveness from God for the sin of anti-semetism in our land. There are some areas where there was bloodshed involved which has defiled and brought a curse on the land. There has been much witchraft, abortions, sacrifices and worship of false god’s etc etc which have all brought defilement on the land. Please pray on the high places, low places and at rivers and be guided by the Holy Spirit. Yeshua took the curse on His own body and His blood has already atoned for the land.
We need to repent before Almighty God that just as the blood of Abel cried out to God from the land so does the innocent blood of many many souls cry out from our land. We come to humbly repent of this atrocity before God – and ask forgiveness for those involved in the mighty name of Yeshua so that the curse will be broken off our land. The blood of Yeshua has already redeemed our land when he died on the cross at Calvary and his blood fell on the ground in Jerusalem.
Some people will be praying at the Welsh Assembly. Please contact Maureen Ireland on tel 02921 320388 for times if you want to be involved in this.
Some may pray at Cathedrals, Churches and chapels etc.
N.B. Can you please fill the poster with details of your meeting or gathering and ‘send’ it back to me – many thanks so that we can connect as it were across the nation.
Can you please pass this information on to Ministers, Pastors, Vicars and leaders, Welsh as well as English congregations and whoever you feel appropriate so that we can all be involved in one way or another.
Please inform the Jewish people about this day, individuals as well as communities, Orthodox, secular and Messianic. We want them to know were here and that we care about them. It would be really good if some can come to the meetings so that we can bridge the gap between us help build stronger relationships together. I intend writing a letter to them that you may like to have a copy of.
Let us ‘do something’ for the Lord’s ‘least of these his brothers and sisters’ in Israel by giving a donation to show our love. This will be a ‘Yom Kippur gift from the people of Wales. Please send cheques made out to ‘Yom Kippur’ and post to: Elaine Price. The Old Coach House, Henfwlch Rd., Carmarthen SA33 6AE. – Many thanks
I’m also letting some congregations in Israel know about our plans for this day. The Khasi tribe in N. India are joining us in fasting and praying on that day, while praying for their own people as well as Wales and Israel. This is where the Welsh missionary’s took the gospel to in 1906. Many in England are also joining us as well.
‘My beloved spoke and said to me Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For the winter is past, the rain is over and gone – the flowers are springing up on the earth. The time of the singing birds has come. And the cooing of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig trees are budding, and the grapevines are in blossom. How delicious they smell. Yes, spring is here. Rise up, my beloved. my fair one, and come away’. (Song of Songs 2 v 10-13)
