Today, on Simchat Torah, we rejoice not only in the completion and new beginning of the Torah cycle, but also in the Festival of Water Drawing, when joy overflowed as the people brought water to the altar — a symbol of the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit.
It is no coincidence that today is also a day of deliverance and release in Israel. Just as water symbolizes life and renewal, so too we witness a new beginning for the people of God — a prophetic sign that we are stepping into the dawn of the Seventh Millennium, the age of Messiah’s reign.
Today marks a new cycle, a new creation, a new song.
We rejoice because Yeshua, the Living Water, is present with us.
We celebrate His abiding presence and the promise of restoration, joy, and redemption for Israel and all nations.
Prophetic Declaration: The True Appeasement of the Father’s Heart
We must go beyond the understanding that, what happened with the hostages, was a political act or a human agreement favored because of the presence of leaders and presidents.
No — what happened was far deeper.
It was a divine breakthrough, born from the mercy of Adonai, released because worshipers stood in the gap and lifted up the name of Yeshua as a living sacrifice.
When we stood at the Garden Tomb, we did not bring gold, nor silver, nor earthly offerings — we brought the sacrifice of praise, the korban of our hearts, and the thanksgiving of our lips.
We stood before the empty tomb and proclaimed:
🩸 “The atonement — the kaparah — for Israel and for the nations has already been paid by the blood of Yeshua HaMashiach!”
And in that moment, heaven bore witness.
The Father’s wrath was appeased, and His heart was moved once again with compassion for His covenant people.
It was not the diplomacy of men that opened the gates of mercy — it was the worship of the redeemed, the voices of those who know His heart.
For Adonai says of Moses, “He spoke with Me face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.”
And we, too, as His friends, are called to understand His heart — not to justify Israel or America by their own goodness, for there is no goodness in man that can merit His favor.
There is no righteousness in any nation that can earn His protection.
There is only the righteousness of Yeshua, the spotless Lamb who became the atonement — the korban olam, the eternal sacrifice.
When we offered that worship — when the song of the redeemed rose from Jerusalem,
from the Garden Tomb where resurrection triumphed over death — the sacrifice of praise ascended like incense, and mercy triumphed over judgment.
That day, the heart of the Father turned once again toward His people.
His glory was revealed through His mercy.
And we declare even now:
“Israel shall live and not die. The land shall be healed. The nations shall know that the Lord, He is God!”
Because of one sound — one worship — one declaration of Prayer of Thanksgiving and Atonement — Simchat Torah / The Waters of Joy
Abba Father, King of Israel,
Today we rejoice before You on Simchat Torah, the day when joy overflows like living water. As our fathers once drew water from the wells of salvation, we draw from You—Yeshua, the Fountain of Life. Let Your Spirit flow again from Zion, cleansing, healing, and reviving the land and Your people.
We remember the works of Your mercy:
• When Adam and Chavah (Eve) were covered by the first shedding of blood, You revealed that only life given for life could remove shame.
• When Noach (Noah) offered burnt offerings, You smelled a soothing aroma and turned wrath to mercy.
• When Israel placed the lamb’s blood on their doorposts, death passed over them.
• When the people sinned with the golden calf, Your anger burned, yet through Moses’ intercession and the zeal of the Levites You restored covenant and raised up a priesthood to stand between wrath and mercy.
• When David built an altar on the threshing floor, You stopped the plague through sacrifice.
In every generation, You taught that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness—until the day You sent Your Son.
We thank You for Yeshua HaMashiach, the true Passover Lamb, the final High Priest, whose own blood entered once for all into the Most Holy Place, obtaining eternal redemption. His blood speaks a better word than that of Hevel—mercy instead of vengeance, restoration instead of wrath.
On this day of joy and new beginnings—the turning of the Torah scroll, the dawning of a new cycle, and the prophetic entrance into the seventh millennium—we lift a sacrifice of praise at every altar You have sanctified, even at the Garden Tomb, declaring that the land is cleansed from idolatry and Baal worship. The blood of Yeshua has made atonement; His mercy covers Israel and the nations.
“Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion!
Adonai has taken away your judgments,
The King of Israel is in your midst;
You shall fear disaster no more.”
Zephaniah 3:14–17
Abba, let these words be fulfilled before our eyes: gather the captives, heal the lame, restore the outcast, and make Jerusalem a praise in all the earth. Turn every day of mourning into dancing, every memory of terror into testimony, every drop of blood spilled in the land into seeds of resurrection life.
We thank You for deliverance, for mercy that triumphs over judgment, and for the joy of Your presence among us.
Let the rivers of living water flow from Zion to every nation.
Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
In the name of Yeshua HaMashiach—our Atonement, our Redeemer, and our soon-coming King.
Amen
When the Land Cries Out:
Throughout Scripture, the land itself responds to sin and bloodshed—but also to repentance and sacrifice.
When the righteous perform prophetic acts of cleansing or thanksgiving, the curse is lifted, and the land yields its increase (Leviticus 26:4).
“Then the Lord became zealous for His land and had pity on His people.”
— Joel 2:18
At places like the Garden Tomb or Mount Carmel, prophetic acts of repentance and worship carry weight because they mirror ancient altars of covenant.

Personal and Territorial Breakthrough:
Prophetic acts can also be personal breakthroughs:
• Writing and burying old sins or wounds (symbolic release).
• Anointing the doorposts of your home (dedication to God).
• Planting a seed in faith (sowing into future restoration).
• Washing feet or breaking bread (humility and covenant renewal).
“Whatever He tells you to do, do it.”
— John 2:5
The Prophetic Act that Pleases Adonai:
When prophetic acts are done with the right heart—obedience, humility, and faith—they are not rituals, but invitations for Heaven to invade Earth.
The ultimate act that appeased God’s wrath was the sacrifice of Yeshua. Every prophetic act we do must point back to His finished work on the cross.
⸻
Thanksgiving and Prayer:
“Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High.”
— Psalm 50:14
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for revealing Your mysteries to Your prophets. Teach us to act in obedience, not in emotion. Let every prophetic act we perform—whether lifting our hands, pouring oil, or declaring Your Word—carry the fragrance of Yeshua’s finished sacrifice. May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as in Heaven.
In Yeshua’s mighty Name, amen.
The Prophetic Acts and the Breakthrough:
1. Introduction: The Mystery of Prophetic Acts
Prophetic acts are physical demonstrations that express spiritual truths. They are not empty gestures but divine instructions meant to shift atmospheres, heal lands, and release breakthrough.
Every act in Scripture—whether striking the ground with arrows, parting the Jordan, or building an altar—was a visible expression of invisible faith. When performed in obedience, it moves the hand of God.
“Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”
— Amos 3:7
2. Why God Chooses Prophetic Acts
• To manifest His will in the earth through human partnership.
• To reverse curses, heal territories, or seal covenants.
• To create memorials—spiritual landmarks of His faithfulness.
“And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan… that they may be a sign among you.”
— Joshua 4:9
To prophetic acts of the heart if the Father by the Ruach is an honor!
"Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord."
Psalm 149
