“Declaring God’s Glory in Jerusalem”
It is just a few days before I leave for Jerusalem to speak at the World Camp for Jesus Convention being held at the International Convention Center August 2nd and 3rd at the invitation of Ed and Sherry Benish of Sherry Benish Ministries.
The convention is a gathering of Christians demonstrating a love for Jerusalem and Israel. People are coming from many different parts of the world. Since Ed and Sherry Benish do missions work in the Philippines, many will be there from that region. Below are the topics of my messages.
"Declaring God's Glory among the Nations." Isaiah 66:19. From "opening the east gate" in March, 1999, to spiritual warfare concerning "the war between truth and lie," May, 2014, Mary Craig Ministries has responded to seven apostolic-prophetic calls to Jerusalem and Israel.
“The testimony of the heart of a holy God for Israel and Jerusalem and His faithfulness to enable obedience to each call, of which there have now been eight.
“The battles of strategic spiritual warfare missions” with a power point presentation on “Spiritual Warfare Lessons Learned from a Life on the Front Lines.”
I hope to tell you more after the mission, but right now I want to focus your attention on the power point presentation, “Spiritual Warfare Lessons Learned from a Life on the Front Lines.” You can access it here: www.marycraig.org . You can also access the words I have received concerning Jerusalem and a section called “Jerusalem’s Destiny,” written and compiled by our web manager, Kroy Ellis, http://www.marycraig.org/Prophetic.htm . More will be posted upon our team’s return.
Love to you all and may the Holy Spirit hover over you and may the God of all Grace carry you through your days.
Just the Messenger,
Mary Craig, D. Min.
O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
Sing unto the LORD, bless His Name: show forth His salvation from day to day.
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all people.
Psalm 96:1-3

The Call to Jerusalem & Israel
From "opening the east gate" in March, 1999, to spiritual warfare concerning "the war between truth and lie," in May, 2014, Mary Craig Ministries has responded to seven apostolic-prophetic calls to Jerusalem and Israel. After giving the testimony of the heart of a holy God for Israel and Jerusalem, and His faithfulness to enable obedience to each call, these are the lessons learned from a life on the front lines during the battles of strategic spiritual warfare missions, not only for Israel, but for the nations.
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
Acts 1:8 KJV
Lessons Learned
- The trip happens before the trip.
- Obedience is life or death.
- Success is measured by your obedience, not by any visual results.
- God is faithful, and He also will do it.
- The Holy Spirit comes where the Blood is applied. Be certain you honor the Blood of Christ, His atoning work of salvation, in your worship and your prayers. It’s not about you, your power…you’re just the messenger.
- Pray the Word of God back to God. His Word does not return void (empty of power).
- Make room for the Holy Spirit. Learn to live in His Presence.
- Write down what you hear exactly as you hear it. Have other mature true believers confirm the source. That source could be the Holy Spirit, your own spirit/mind, a demonic spirit, or your own soul. Discern the Voice.
- Each particular assignment from the LORD is not complete until you have: the call: GO; the commission, for example, teaching/making disciples of all nations; the commands, general and specific: and teach/make disciples, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, baptizing them into the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; and the commitment of the LORD, and I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. (“I will” promises of God) Remember, only Jesus saves; we just carry/preach/teach the Gospel. Truth is revealed.
- Highlight the “Word” you believe you have received from the Holy Spirit in different colors or ways: Commands (action verbs), Promises of God, NOTE KEY WORDS.
- Keep a running list/account of spiritual weapons God gives you, anointings, offices, and whatever might be assigned to you spiritually, etc. Be thankful always.
- Find and reference supporting Scripture to the prophetic word received. Research the target location--historical timeline, key concepts, e.g., making disciples,
- Find and print Scriptures on key words in the prophetic word received.
- Bring the prophetic word and all supporting Scripture before the LORD, out loud.
- Yield to the Holy Spirit. Be holy, as He is holy. Let Him sanctify you, separate you, sift and sort. Have a spirit of adventure, and trust, inasmuch as the Holy Spirit has no fear, anywhere, anytime, of anyone, of any place, or any thing.
- Disarm the enemy by coming into agreement with the Word of God as to commission of sin, failures, and omission of obedience, and as to the atoning work of Jesus Christ on behalf of His own. Confess Jesus Christ without shame.
- Call upon the Names of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Behold and know the Living God.
- Let truth be at the core of your being, truth in the inward parts. Understand that God is faithful, and He also will do it. Trust Him as a covenant-keeping God who is bound under the Blood Covenant of Jesus Christ (a covenant which cannot be broken and which has the power to break lesser covenants) to provide, protect, pity our frame and remember we’re only dust, pursue His enemies to their destruction, grant The Peace, preserve, allow progress, empower, and bless. Let Him position you for blessing.
- Servants of the LORD are called to promote justice, preserve truth, protect the flock, propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ, preach, teach, BE witnesses, and to walk in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, in the bond of unity and peace.
- Rather than focus on Satan and his kingdom, seek above all the kingdom of God and HIS righteousness, focusing on the atoning work of Jesus Christ. (Hint: Jesus did much more than die for your sins.)
- Fast only when called to do so by the Holy Spirit as He directs the specifics of the fast. Let Him anoint you for the fast and make no great swelling words.
- Watch your words! Watch what you say and what you sing. Apart from Christ, we can do nothing. Make no great swelling words, “I will” commitment sayings, oaths, pledges, vows, etc. If you don’t want the devil tempting you and/or God testing you, walk circumspectly. A “good work” is one that is wrought in the mind and heart of the Living God, whose seed (thought), root, and fruit is the outgrowth of HIM. We are to obey (Him) by grace (His) through faith (His faith imparted to us and which returns to Him, as Author and Finisher of our faith), which works by love (His) in supreme loyalty and attachment to Him as He grants it.
