PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
Have you thought about what could happen if we ALL...
(everywhere in the world!)
came together and prayed for THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM?
Did you know praying for the Peace of Jerusalem is a biblical mandate?
Churches and synagogues and prayer groups world wide are coming together to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. Rabbis and representatives from the Knesset, Christian Palestinian leaders, with Pastors and Priests, Intercessor Warriors and Laity are joining together to pray! For our fifth year on the first Sunday each October we will join together again for this CORPORATE prayer time.
This move of God is being co-directed by Rev. Robert Stearns and Pastor Jack Hayford.
I would love to see my entire region come together in prayer but more importantly let's ALL (and that's you from places like Singapore, countries in Africa, and Sweden, Germany and India, the Ukraine, China, Indonesia, Korea, Canada, Finland...all, more & more) from All over the world JOIN TOGETHER for this ...to Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem!
It's the small beginning of a new thing. It is like rolling a little hand full of snow...it begins so small but can grow large and as strong as a boulder, as many work together to move it forward. Please consider picking up this torch for your city, state or country. I am Washington State Prayer Coordinator again for this fifth year here and would encourage YOU to become involved on any level you are able to be involved.
May you be blessed in all you do and remember to love one another.

I am so thankful for all of you visiting and viewing these paintings from around the world. Visitors have stopped by from...
Thank you for all of you who share this ministry news around the globe and remember to copy the paintings for your own homes here for free!
Adonai is real, the LIVING GOD, the Holy Spirit, (the Ruach ha Kodesh) and most important for you... the Messiah --Jesus Christ is real!!!
Perhaps you have thought the name Jesus Christ was a first and last name. Do you know Christ means Messiah - the anointed one??? (to save... Savior!) Jesus Christ fulfills the prophecies given in the Torah and the Prophets (Yesha Yahu 52:13 all of chapter 53) & Tehillim 22 (all of it) about the Messiah, and also the promised one spoken of by Moses -who will perform intercession on our behalf. (Deut. 18:15, D'Varim 18:15)
In Leviticus 16 (Vayikra 16 part of the five books of the Torah) we learn the regulations to be performed on the Day of Atonement. We thank God that even through the Holocaust the Torah has been preserved unchanged, many times at the cost of life or limb. Praise God for the protection of His Holy word!!!! It hasn't mattered what frivolous interpretation has occurred within the reform movement etc. because faithfulness is still present in the PROTECTION of the ORIGINAL untainted word of God and His commands to us!!!
We that cherish also the New Covenant (testimony of Jesus Christ) know that not one jot or tittle of the law will change before the sun or moon passes away and all that God plans is finally accomplished!!- Jesus spoke about the protecting of the Law by God's chosen people in (Matt 5:18) The Law stands and still defines right and wrong and hope and growth. But why is it that some of the Law seems to be ignored by the Rabbis - like some of the regulations spoken of in Leviticus 16 (Vayikra) for the Day of Atonement??? God did say there is life in the blood!! (Deut 12:23-24, D'Varim) God set up the Day of Atonement as THE MOST HOLY DAY OF THE YEAR. God does not make mistakes!!!! (the Day of Atonement is spoken of by Paul in Acts 27:9) God gave the prophet Isaiah insight into this day and this is the passage read every year during the Day of Atonement service (Yom Kippur)!! God speaks through the prophet Isaiah about true fasting and REAL change in Isaiah 58 (Yesha'Yahu)....more on the Day of Atonement in a minute!
I have dug deeply into the word of God and do believe Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah. I have studied Judaism & the Torah with one of the most respected conservative reform Rabbis in the United States and perhaps one of the kindest.!!!
I believe we must cry out for the second Hadassah --Myrtle --(Esther) (who is hidden)-- (the bride, plural)--to arise-NOW- to unveil herself and help Israel. Who is the Messiah? YESHUA (Jesus)!! Jesus is a Greek form of ...I^esous. This translation isn't actually connected to ...soter... which is Greek for save. BUT CHECK OUT the Hebrew or Aramaic ....which explains it all and perfectly..... Because the Hebrew name Yeshua is the masculine form (Hebrew letters ah-yin, vahv, sheen & yodh) of the word yeshu'ah (heh, ah-yin, vahv, sheen, & yodh)----salvation---and is based on the same root (yud-shin-'ayin—ah-yin, sheen, & yodh) as yoshia (ah-yin, yodh, sheen, vahv & yodh) which means "He will save"!!! ----HIS name itself is a miracle and a gift to us!
The Full scriptures and prophetic writings MUST be taught and dug into for the treasure they are to us. Do we even know what it is we believe? Are we philosophers who can be swayed or are we PASSIONATE believers in the LIVING GOD??? It is time to dig deeply into the word of God, some which has been hidden from us all these centuries because it was thought dangerous to discuss it . The Dead Sea Scrolls are a gift to us (and the world), hidden so we could know the scribes have been faithful and we must be faithful to STUDY these words!!!!!!!!
There is a word spoken of in the B'rit Hadashah (New Covenant)---it is....to the JEW first!!!! (Romans 1:16) --the promises of Mashiach (Messiah) are given to the Jew first-then to the gentile (goyim)!!! It's true. Did you know it?? Nothing changes in God's word. His promises stand!! He loves the Jewish people, He is Jewish ...if Jesus had not willingly went to the cross and then been rejected by the Jewish people of His day the gospel would never had went to the ENTIRE world!!!! It is impossible for God to lie. He said He will never forget the Jewish people --the apple of His eye! Israel Find yourself a Bible and check this out!! Then read Romans 11 the Whole chapter. What does that say to you?
Back to the Day of Atonement, why is it that believing Rabbis no longer make these blood sacrifices? Some in the Ultra Orthodox , which for me is much easier to understand, still perform some of these commands... They are TRYING to follow the law as they know it! All of these laws and commands in the Torah are BLUEPRINTS that have GOT to BE preserved. These blueprints foretold the plan of God for the Messiah who IS the perfect atonement (remember there is life in the blood for YOU----eternal life for you in Jesus' blood.) He paid the price of atonement once and for all for you!!! This atonement is spoken about in another passage in Isaiah---- 53 (Yesha'Yahu 53). (This passage is part of the dead sea scrolls). If the scriptures had been lost we would never be able to understand God's wonderful plan to redeem us. In the book of Isaiah we will also learn about a remnant being saved by Messiah coming and reaching out a second time! Isaiah 11:10 (Yesha'Yahu). Notice the reference to a second time!! There is a second coming of the Messiah yet to be!! Also look up Micah 5:3 (Mikhah) about Bethlehem---written HUNDREDS of years before the birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem and preserved UNCHANGED by God's faithful scribes!!
What about the Shema, how can the Almighty be plural? Echad, if one is One how can there be anything but one? An example of this concept of One having a plural meaning is in Judges 20:1--they rose up as one man - ISRAEL - every tribe included - rose up together in Judges 20:1 (Shof'tim) to defeat the enemy. (You Hebrew scholars look it up!!!!) Today... All nationalities - together make up the Body of Christ (goyim who come to this faith, which is built upon a Jewish, foundation - they all come because of this belief in the Jewish Jesus Christ . We are one new man in Messiah (Eph 2: 13-16)
Also remember it is a Jewish teaching that all the world will be saved through this wonderful faith in Almighty God -- the God of Jacob and Moses and the Prophets. I present this to you then as a very real possibility (for me it's a reality) - that this Jewish man - Jesus - who was spoken of by Josephus & Gamaliel is indeed the promised Messiah. (Gamaliel was Saul/Paul's teacher in Acts 22:3 and also the grandson of the great Rabbi Hillel)
Maybe you don't think you need a Messiah? Remember we all have fallen short of the glory of God. Remember Yom Kippur is a day of repentance and reflection (and a day of fasting) and the original blueprints call for a blood sacrifice to cover over - atone for -our sins or mistakes and evil unloving, unrighteous, deeds and thoughts on that day. The blood of sheep & goats & chickens is to be applied, but it is marred and imperfect. So the Almighty solved the problem Himself with His own mighty hands. He made the atonement for YOU. He says in Isaiah 49:16..."See I have engraved you on the palm of my hands...Couldn't this be a reference to nail scars? See this scripture and the picture of it on many of my paintings.
How does any of this bring PEACE to you? I have a message for you from Yeshua and HE wants me to tell you --you were made to be wonderful - full of wonder - beautiful -You are MORE beautiful than any rose ...... and He says to you many call me The Rose of Sharon but I say YOU are a precious Rose of Sharon!!!!!!! He has cherished your little face in birth AND in ageing. He sees who you were meant to be. Not the image you see of yourself now.
...God's word NEVER comes back void!!!! Isaiah 55: 10-11 so... When you study the Holy Scriptures ask God to give you the discernment of His Holy Spirit ... to give you wisdom. He loves you and wants you to find out that He really does exist and even goes to fight battles on your behalf!!!! He is a refuge. He is our Rock - Elohim, your supply--- El Sha dai, the Ruach ha Kodesh, -- Your comforter, and Your Savior. Make a decision to accept Him as your Messiah today - He doesn't force anyone to do anything - because you have been given free will. He does not receive glory from robots, but from those who choose Him, those who were created in His image ... for the word says ...Let US create man in Our image. B'resheet (Genesis) 1:26!

This wonderful music is from Carla Reed's album titled Mysteries Of The Deep. The track playing is titled Making Known To Us. The whole album is fantastic and in my opinion -true soaking, studying, worshipping music. Besides this album that she has available for sale, Carla's newest album is a heavenly dimension sound. Carla is hearing the blueprints from heaven for strategies for the kingdom.
You can reach Carla Reed at selahministries@hotmail.com or telephone 509 599 0433. I believe the CD's are very reasonable, $10 plus shipping, but please contact her as she has all pertinent information!
We both hope you are blessed!

Prophetically I seem to have a Jewish Calendar in my heart as Yom Kippur is the time when I receive a word for the coming year and I receive my new assignment and direction and I have divine appointments according to the Jewish calendar. I hear of those whom the Lord speaks to in January but that has not been my experience and maybe not yours either.
If you are one who is interested in always knowing what day today is in the Hebrew Calendar and also would like to know the Feast Days and correct time for Shabbat candle lighting for your time zone then this link site is just what you need.
These comments regard scriptures (Isaiah 49:16 & Leviticus 19:28.) You will see the scripture from Isaiah on many of my paintings.
I read an article a couple weeks ago in the Jewish magazine called -Moment- (which I find very insightful and interesting) titled The Unnatural History of Jews and Tattoos. Much of the article referred to the permanent tattoos put on the arms of the victims of the Shoah - Holocaust. After surviving and living through this nightmare, these tattooed numbers now denote victory for many survivors.
Most of the article is written from a liberal Jewish perspective but I was pleased to see at least a portion from the Orthodox perspective which gave the prohibition listed in scripture from Leviticus. Now I am not trying to get you wrapped up in legalism here...But is sin defined and grace freely given so we can sin more? The only way we know what sin is...is by the definitions found in the Law - found in the Torah or Old Testament, including all ten commandments which are of course part of the law..so we find ourselves in a quandary. We know because of what Jesus FINISHED on the cross that ALL is forgiven when we come to Him and ask Him to forgive and save us. Does that mean we no longer have to honor our parents? ...Does that mean I can now commit murder..etc? We get where I'm going with this. From Romans 7:15 in the B'rit Hadashah it says...Does the fact that we are living by grace and not by law mean that we are free to sin? Of course not! When I succumb to sin GRACE catches me, envelops me and I receive mercy. Each one works out their own salvation with fear and trembling (Phil 2:12). We are changing glory to glory (2Cor 3:18) and each finds their own way, following the Ruach ha Kodesh, our Holy Spirit's direction, in each decision. We don't know each others hearts -only the Lord does!
Just something here to Pray and think about ... the whole subject. Many Christians & Jews are not even aware of the prohibition against tattoos.
Back to the painting scripture and the magazine article... In the magazine article, it was erroneously suggested from the above scripture in Isaiah that tattoos were ok with God....????
The scripture used in the article to justify this was from Isaiah 49:16. This scripture in fact reveals that God himself has engraved US upon his hands (see the paintings to understand it visually) --Couldn't it be in fact that these engravings are permanent NAIL SCARS?!
I just present these thoughts for you to ponder....
Every time He looks at His Hands... He remembers WITH LOVE what He willingly did for us because we were priceless to Him.
YOU are priceless to Him!

Every Month (4th Sunday of each month) - Pine Lodge Women's Prison, Medical Lake, Wa
...My marching orders seem different than most as you'll find no place on this website to give me money. The Holy Spirit has been very specific with me regarding marketing the anointing that has been placed upon me and that's why you won't see my paintings listed for sale under prophetic painting sections with any other ministry---even those I love so much. I am just not allowed to make prints or SELL any of the paintings (2Kings 5: 15 & 16)---no matter how much you are willing to pay me! You can copy them here for free. Please keep the title and testimony with the painting as all has been given to me through the Holy Spirit. They are each covered in scripture for God's word does not come back void...
Mid January 2005, I was given an eighth painting. It had actually been about two years since this had happened. This occurred in a meeting where I fell under the power of God----a very wonderful NEW confirmation for this ministry came at that time. I wasn't expecting or thinking about painting that night - and in fact had been busy with ministry and trying to understand where these painted visions fit in! One couple had to leave the meeting early and the woman silently came over and so not to disrupt the meeting gave me a hug and left. I got a message early the next morning asking me to call her. When I did she said ---"You received a painting didn't you?" I said, "YES!" She then said, --- "I saw it!"
(What this woman didn't know is I actually shared publicly with this group this new painting I had seen. This has never happened before but the Holy Spirit said do it so I did. She had spoken to none of them. She did share it with her husband driving home the night before)
...She proceeded in our conversation to ask me ...."What did you see?" I said, "NO what did you see?" as I had this rumbling roar growing in me of this immense gift the Lord was giving me. She proceeded to tell me the subject of the coming painting!
It is now Fall of 2006...(Yom Kippur tomorrow at sundown) I still can't share with you the subject of this new painting but know it is for these coming days and like those paintings regarding past events that have occurred it will both ENCOURAGE and pierce your heart.
The paintings, because of the Lord's mercy and grace, have been displayed in public places, such as the U.S. Senate in Washington D.C. on three separate occasions, under both Democrat and Republican Administrations. My prayer is that our Lord Jesus Christ --Yeshua ha Mashiach--would continue to use them to bring many to Himself.
Women's Prison in Medical Lake, Washington. She believes a great, corporate prophetic voice is coming forth from the darkness and restoration of the prisons. Terri is also the Healing Room Director for the Northgate Healing Room, affiliated with the International Healing Room Ministries headquartered in Spokane, Washington, directed by Cal and Michelle Pierce. Please visit (www.clcspokane.org.) for a great map to help you locate the Northgate Healing Room. Terri has been on staff with the International Healing Room Ministries in the past as Graphics Department head and was a trainer for the ministry team for two years. She believes Jesus Christ is the healer and all glory and honor belong to Him and by His stripes (Isaiah 53) we are healed. Jesus finished it all on the cross. She blesses the work of the Healing Room Ministries and believes the revelation to come forth from that well has only just begun to flow.
Terri and her husband Michael and sons moved from the East Coast to the West Coast in December of 2000. They are members at Christian Life Church in Spokane, Washington under the direction of Pastors Barry & Kay Hill.
Terri is the Washington State Prayer Coordinator for the Day to Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, the first Sunday each October www.daytopray.com. She prays for the protection of Israel. Terri rejects "Replacement Theology" and believes Israel has commands and mandates, such as the protection of original Hebrew scrolls intact and occupying the land itself, that "the church" isn't equipped or called to carry out- and yet The Almighty has never released Israel from these same commands. She does believe the promises to Israel also belong to the church because we have been grafted into the original olive tree and therefore, as scripture foretold, it has become possible for all nations to be blessed as Israel has been blessed, through our Messiah, Jesus.
Terri's goal is to bring the message of our Messiah Jesus, His love, His hope, His joy, His peace, and His salvation to every nation on this earth. She laughs in joy at what God has done with these paintings while she worships at His feet! All things are possible through Christ Jesus and she wants to always be His friend.
Hatikva... yes this is the beautiful Israeli National
anthem - The Hope. I just was moved to put it here to honor Israel and to remind us to remember the Holocaust and the hope that the rebirth of the Jewish homeland means to each and every one of us, Jew and Gentile alike. This rebirth was truly a miracle and it is one sustained and upheld by the Almighty Himself.

Rev. Terri Derocher sounds the shofar where the Lord sends her around the world. She's been painting visions since 1998, the year she made her first pilgrimage to Israel. Terri was ordained through Christian Life Church in Spokane, Washington. She shares what the Holy Spirit gives her to share - via words, both spoken and written, or in a painting. She has had an open door to display her paintings in the United States Senate, Russell Rotunda, in Washington D.C, on three occasions, under the Clinton and Bush administrations. She ministers monthly at Pine Lodge
Many people ask me and many of you come to this website looking to purchase a shofar... I don't sell shofars. You ask me in conferences where can I get a shofar? I got my shofar in Israel in 1998 and it was a wonderful, divine appointment as an intercessor. Maybe you are not able at present to travel to Israel and would like to know more about the shofar. I have placed on my website the link to a wonderful, teacher and leader and expert on the shofar...Brother Dick Reuben.
Not only is Dr. Reuben an expert on the shofar but has taught us all so much about the patterns in scripture. People just keep giving me videos to watch of his timeless, anointed teaching. It is now 2008 and believe it or not I am soaking and studying and absorbing his teachings from 1993 on the sin of trespass, the priestly garments and the anointing. The Holiness of God and the need of repentance are obvious in the teachings. So today in March of 2008 you can understand why they are still relevant teachings and not old manna. Interestingly enough those giving me these things to study are unaware of the honor I give this teacher and that I have personally had the chance to listen and study his teachings many years ago. For four days in 1998, I sat under Brother Reuben's teaching in Canada. He is so grounded in the word of God and brings and connects one more fully to the scriptures.
Dr. Dick Reuben received his DD. Degree from, and for a short time taught at, the Southern California Theological Seminary as a professor of Old Testament theology. He was also an important part of the Brownsville revival and two years prior to the outbreak of that revival taught there and had prophesied that it would come to pass. Dr. Reuben is a man of integrity and he will teach you properly about the shofar and possibly direct you to the right place to find a great shofar. He has wonderful teaching available to help you understand the shofar and he directs you to the biblical foundation of the shofar, which is mentioned over 80 times in scripture.
If you've looked around this site then you know nothing is for sale here. In fact you'll find no address to even send me a donation! Dr. Reuben doesn't know I'm sending you his direction and I get no money from this. Dr. Reuben is just a trustworthy servant of the Lord.
So just click on the shofar below and it will take you to Dick Reuben Evangelistic Association website where Brother Reuben has an online store where you can find lot's of help and instruction. If shofars are no longer available on his website please ask them for a suggestion as to the best place to find a great shofar.
May the Lord Bless you and May you blow the shofar for HIS glory! Rev Terri Derocher
