Special Prayer/Warfare Assignment

For The

North Gate Of "New Orleans" Louisiana

Prophetess hilda arredondo

Dear Praying Friends,

New Orleans, Louisiana is our neighbor and she is in trouble and needs our help in prayer. Apart from needing our help in prayer New Orleans is a Main Key location for Revival to come through that Gate and flood the State of Louisiana and the Nation with Revival! At present New Orleans is being overrun by evil powers. The NORTH GATE of this city must be possessed and taken back for Jesus! The Image of Jealousy, Division, Strife, Every Evil Work, Murder, All Kinds of Crime, Love of Money, Prestige, Pride of Life, Drugs, Alcohol, Greed, Gambling, Idolatry of Sports, Addiction, Bribery, Perverted Justice, Prostitution, Corrupt City Government, Pornography and Competition are flooding the city through this Gate. If we wait too much longer we will not be able to stop the evil destructive floods pouring into the city. We must SEAL IT OFF WITH PRAYER and the PRECIOUS BLOOD of JESUS, then, TAKE the NORTH GATE, CALL ON JESUS OUR LORD and SAVIOR and HIS ANGELS TO COME and STAND at THIS GATE as THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE! We can have all the strategy in the world but more importantly--We Need God’s People to Unite Together Praying in one mind and one accord, targeting this Evil Prince of Darkness on the NORTH GATE in Jesus name!

Please Beloved Praying People--Join Us in Prayer and Warfare!

Let us help our neighboring City New Orleans tear down, pluck up and possess the Gate of Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory! Today is the time to root out, pull down, destroy, and to plant. Today, it is the city of New Orleans that needs help, tomorrow it may be our city and they will help us! On the day you receive this notice, begin to pray against this list of spirits that we highlighted above for you and after we tear down, pluck up and destroy. Around May 6^th we will begin to plant. We must CALL ON JESUS CHRIST and HIS ANGELS to RULE/REIGN on this GATE as the RIGHTEOUS JUDGE over the City of New Orleans. Remember this was the Gate of false gods, but now it is known as the GATE of the RIGHTEOUS JUDGE the GATE of JUSTICE AND TRUTH. Let us bind in prayer together in the privacy of our homes and dismantle the evil prince on the North Gate. Again, we must call for Jesus Christ and His Angels to come and rule and reign over this gate as the RIGHTEOUS JUDGE and Seal this Gate Off with the Precious Blood of Jesus from all evil and the Gate be as He would have it to be—THE GATE OF PRAISE! “Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.” Isaiah 60:18. This is now the Gate of Justice and Truth with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Righteous Judge and His Angels ruling over the North Gate of New Orleans--so let us pull down, root out, destroy and begin to rebuild and plant! (Jeremiah 1:10)

An Urgent Prophetic Word From Hilda:

Prophetess hilda arredondo

"AN ENEMY IS PLOTTING EVIL AGAINST OUR NATION IN THE NEAR FUTURE"

On March 8, 2012 began the celebration of the Feast of Purim or the Fast of Esther. Today the Jewish people still celebrate the Feast of Purim. In doing this, they are reminded every year of how the Great and Mighty God spared their lives through Queen Esther’s intervention. In the book of Esther we read the account on how our God used Mordecai and Esther to prevent the slaughter or annihilation of the Jewish people. Esther, whose name is Hadassah in Hebrew, meaning “Myrtle”, and also meaning “Star” in the Greek. We can easily understand that Esther was called from her mother’s womb and her name depicted her destiny. The myrtle tree has a beautiful, sweet, fragrance; therefore, she can be considered as the woman who carried the fragrance of deliverance and spared her people from destruction. No one knew that she was Jewish, and being considered for the king’s palace as the new queen. Her uncle Mordecai instructed her to keep it a secret until the time was right. “Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.” Esther 2:10 The king’s men were looking for a "New Queen" for Ahasuerus. He had put away his wife Vashti while intoxicated with too much wine. When he had called her to come join him at his great party and she refused, she was labeled rebellious, disobedient and disrespectful. She was put aside or divorced by the king and now he was looking for a new queen. The king had 127 provinces, so beautiful women were brought to the king from the provinces and Esther was among them. She was a Jewish girl, but her identity was hidden from the king. She was quiet, fair, beautiful, and intelligent. Compared to modern day times, we could say that the king was having a beauty pageant. All the women chosen were brought to the palace and put under Hegai, the harem keeper, for one year of purification. They were to spend “…six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours…” Esther 2:12. Esther, who found much favor with Hegai, the harem keeper, had the best offered to her as she was being prepared to go meet the king. The story goes on. “Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.” Esther 2:15.

BEAUTY OF HOLINESS

Beautiful, expensive attire and jewelry were offered to her but Esther took only the least for herself and only what Hegai suggested. Esther carried the beauty of holiness--the beauty that radiates from the inside out. The king could not resist her beauty and chose her for his wife above all the other women. Now the queen could not come into the king’s inner court just at any time, but only when the king requested her to come. But now, the word was out that Haman, (the king’s right hand man we might say) had spread evil slander because of his hate for the Jewish people. Haman was a Persian government official. He hated them because Mordecai refused to bow down to him. “And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.” Esther 3:5. Mordecai and his people bowed only to their One God. “….wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.” Esther 3:6 He convinced the king to kill them all and began to build gallows fifty cubits high to hang Mordecai.

ESTHER PRAYS IMMEDIATELY

Esther began to pray immediately and called her maidens and all the Jews to join her in fasting and prayer. Esther knew that she could lose her life if she went before the king without being invited. She also knew that this was not about her, but rather about her people. Because of that fast and love for her people, Esther found favor with the king. Esther was extended the king’s golden scepter which was a sign that she was accepted by the king to come into the inner court and speak to him. She quickly and wisely asked the king if she could have a special banquet for the king, herself and Haman. To make a long story short, there Haman was discovered, that he was the one behind the plot to kill the Jewish people. As Esther was with the king at the banquet, she told him that she was also a Jew. Immediately, the king had Haman demoted and moved out of his position of authority, and had him hung on the gallows fifty cubits high. The evil he had planned and prepared for the people of God came back upon him. All his riches and lands that the king had given him were stripped away and passed on to Mordecai and Esther. Esther’s fast was a great and huge success. As they prayed that they should not die at the hand of Haman, our God granted their petition. The king, who was her husband, reversed all the evil decrees that Haman had pronounced against the Jews and gave them permission to pick up swords to defend themselves. There is much to the story; because of this praying woman of faith, the people were spared the destruction coming upon them. A great celebration followed the Jews victory.

OBAMA GIVEN THE MEGILLAH OF ESTHER

Just recently Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister, met with President Obama and handed him a gift—the Megillah of Esther or scroll of Esther. This took place on March 5, 2012, a few days before the Festival of Purim March 8, 2012. He made a comment to the effect that the enemy tried to destroy my people back in the time of Esther and he still is trying to destroy us today, referring to the enemy nations like Iran. We know that Israel and Iran are at odds, but there is a loud prophetic message here for us, the American people. It is as if Israel was handing President Obama the scroll that would give us the answer to all our troubles today—it is not about raising taxes, and trillions of dollar bail outs. However, the answer is - begin to do like Esther when our enemies threaten us--PRAY and FAST. It is interesting that Israel and Iran start with the letter “I” which is the ninth letter of the alphabet and the ninth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, known as the Teth or Tes. The Tes letter means goodness and humility. Hadassah, whom we call Esther, begins with an “H” and Haman, the evil man’s name, begins with an “H”. I truly believe that God’s hidden message is to both Israel and America, and the “I” in Israel and the “I” in Iran, means that truly the enemy has come to destroy Israel and America with weapons of destruction. But the message goes on giving us the key to victory; humble yourselves and my goodness and power will prevail on your behalf as it did in the days of Esther. (2 Chronicles 7:14). This is the KEY to our SUCCESS. You see, it is good to have good, honest men running for president in the coming elections. But first and foremost, we need to pray and fast unto our Lord God in Jesus’ name that the evil assignment of our enemies is brought to naught. The scroll of Esther was a gift to President Obama, as if to say, “Here is the answer to America’s problems.”

AMERICA IN DANGER

OF ENEMY PLOT

I truly believe that we are in danger of being destroyed through many different plots of the enemy, just as Israel was being threatened in the time of the book of Esther. I believe that the Holy Spirit has shown me that there will be an attempt to attack our country in the near future by one of our enemy nations. Have NO FEAR, if we OBEY and PRAY, our God will over throw the enemy as He did for Esther. The Holy Spirit’s message is - THERE IS A PRAYING ESTHER IN AMERICA. She is the praying woman of the church and we are being called to FAST and PRAY that our AMERICA BE SPARED and not only America, but ISRAEL ALSO. There is still HOPE; CRY OUT TO GOD BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE for the sparing of our country and Israel, from the onslaughts of the enemy. We are in trouble and they are too.

RISE UP PRAYING ESTHER

We, as Christians, are to pick up the weapons of our warfare as Esther, which are fasting and prayer. We have many upcoming days of important prayer ahead of us. I am calling out to you to join us in praying for the needs that are listed on our April Calendar; inserted in this issue of the Silver Trumpet Newsletter. Let us stand before the God of heaven and release our prayers like incense rising unto His throne room. In the next few months we’ll be sending out Special Prayer Requests for our Nation and Israel. Send us the address or E-mail of someone that you know that wants to help us pray during this TIME OF URGENCY! Again, Israel and Iran start with the letter “I”. Hadassah and Haman, both names begin with the letter “H”. I truly believe there is a hidden message for us. The I’s referring to eyes. My eyes (I’s) are over you and if we call upon Him, He will hear because we are the apple of His eye, (I’s) (Zech 2:5). Also in Psalms 34:15-17 it reads, “The eyes (I’s) of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.” Rise Up, Oh Praying Esther; it is time to pray and fast and see Great Victories for Israel and our country. I truly believe that if America hears and responds, a great celebration will follow and will be one of the greatest revivals that we’ll ever see in these end times. To God be the Glory!

Dear Ministry Friends, Thank you again for supporting us with your all. We are so very grateful for all that you do for this ministry. I want to tell you that it is not easy to share with you the WORD OF WARNING TO OUR NATION as I have done in this newsletter. Because I am devoted to prayer, He does reveal His secrets to me. (Amos 3:7) Then I am to turn around and share with you precious praying friends so you can join me in prayer. Most of the time over the years, as we pray and carry repentance to His throne room on behalf of our nation, God, in His mercy, hears. Then the situation is averted or at times, not averted but lessened. My responsibility is to SOUND THE TRUMPET TO PRAY! Only He knows the outcome. Thank you for being so faithful. In His love and service, Prophetess hilda arredondo

A Prophetic Word From Hilda

Prophetess hilda arredondo

A YEAR TO TRUST IN GOD

“And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” I Kings 17:1. Elijah’s name means Jehovah is God. The name characterized Elijah’s personality, a man who trusted God’s sovereignty in all things, because of his love and personal relationship with Him. The Lord’s Word came through the mouth of the prophet to His people – “There would be no dew or rain.” Israel had angered the Lord and now, the Lord God of Israel had cut off the dew and rain from the land for a period of three and one-half years. The cutting off of rain brings a dry season! In this case a very dry season, because even the dew would stop from falling. Why did this judgment come upon them? They had become worshipers of other gods, which is idolatry, therefore, violating God’s first Holy Commandment. In Exodus 20: 2-3 reads “I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Rains can be symbolic to the refreshing (revival) of the Holy Spirit of God. Today, we can also come into those times of “dry spells” in our spiritual walk. If you are personally going through a time of dryness, this can be a sign to us to check ourselves immediately for the sin of idolatry of the heart and other areas of vanity. Let us judge ourselves, lest we be judged by the finger of Jehovah God!

LED BY GOD INTO A NEW DIRECTION

“And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.” I Kings 17:2-3. Immediately, the Lord gave Elijah direction. Yes, He is the God of DIVINE DIRECTION! “Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward.” The direction given was for only one step at a time. Oh, how we desire to see God’s entire plan for our lives, yet, it is not the nature of our God to tell all His plans He has for us! We must learn to move one step at a time. Moving in faith, one step at a time develops our trust in Him. It is always a sure word when God speaks. We must be willing to obey without question. The prophet was not directed to a place of great abundance or pleasantness, but on the contrary, it would lead him into a season of leanness and dryness. What a lesson for us modern day Christians, who have been taught that if we don’t have great abundance and blessings in our lives, it can’t be God. Church, the school of “The Brooks in the Wilderness” has started for many of us and the baptism of fire is upon us. Elijah had to go eastward. The East Wind is a hot, dry wind that comes off the desert. The DIVINE DIRECTION from Jehovah God led him in a time of drought eastward. The only water available to him was from the brook.

THE SPIRITUAL BROOK EXPERIENCE

Have you arrived at a dry place? Could it be that you’re at the “Spiritual Brook of Cherith.” If you don’t understand the spiritual brook experience, it can be a frightening and confusing time, thinking to ourselves, our God has left us. The Season of Dryness and Leanness was allowed to accomplish a specific purpose in the prophet’s life. That same season is now upon us, it is also a “Godsend” into our lives. The purpose being to bring us into a place where we hunger and thirst after God, and eventually bringing us into greater days of revelation and refreshing. “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 14:4. The past decade was a challenging time for many of God’s people. Many of us will walk in a way we had never walked before. It may seem contrary to many of the teachings that we had received in the past. Very little has been taught about season of dryness and leanness. For many, it will be dry. For some, it will be times of trial and tribulation, and others will walk in a place where the only thing they can do is trust Jesus completely! But out of this experience will come forth a Holy Sanctified People, who will love Him for who He is and not for what He can give us as blessings! This is a time that we'll seek His face and not his Hand and will come out of that most holy place changed with His Glory and will never be the same again. We come out of that place leaning on our beloved Lord Jesus.

HIDING BY THE BROOK NOT A COMFORT ZONE

The prophet Elijah was comfortable where he was. Yet, the Word of the Lord called him out of his comfort zone to move on. Today, are you comfortable where you’re at? Do you feel the tugging of the Holy Spirit to move on into a new direction? It could be “Jehovah God” is giving you a nudge – showing you new divine direction. The prophet of the Lord was directed by God to hide himself by the brook of Cherith. The Lord was preparing Elijah, the prophet, for his future work, which would require trust and complete faith in the middle of many adverse circumstances. “For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.” II Kings 3:17. In past circumstances, the servant of the Lord had seen God’s hand move and now there was no other alternative but to obey the Lord. To be hid beside the brook Cherith meant a separation for the prophet, a time of hiding. Some of us have been very active for the Lord in the past, now all of a sudden, it seems that no one hears us, there are no opportunities for us to speak! It could be that this is your season, just to be quiet, observe, pray and spend your time at the spiritual brook Cherith.

IN HIS PRESENCE EVERYTHING IS EXPOSED

The brook was a place of “Spending Time” in the presence of the Lord for the prophet, quiet time separated unto Him. Cherith means the Brook of Cutting. We, also, must have that Season of Cutting and Pruning, a time that the Holy Spirit comes to us as a purging fire and deals with us in those areas that are not bearing fruit. ^“Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” John 15:2. We may feel that some things are beneficial to us, but our Father in heaven, who knows best, will require the pruning away of these weights so that we can truly abide in Him. “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:4-5. The brook that Elijah rested by, was a place that the ravens brought him his food. They provided manna, day by day! “…It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4. First of all, we know that ravens cannot carry very much food. The ravens came twice a day. They brought him bread and flesh in the morning, bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of the brook. The time of leanness proved some valuable lessons for the prophet. The meat was not old or dried, but rather fresh, raw meat. As we spend time by the spiritual brooks in His Word and Presence. He will give us fresh meat (manna) of the Word. As the ravens continued to bring the prophet food, he was learning another valuable lesson – to trust God for all his sustenance. This time of leanness will also teach us to do with less than we are used to, bringing us to a place of CONTENTMENT in Him. A place where we find joy in Him and not in things. The apostle Paul was another servant of the Lord who had well learned the ways of Jehovah God. “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” Philippians 4:11. If you are in a time of leanness and dryness REJOICE! Jehovah God is with you! What sustained the prophet, the water from the brook? Today, what will sustain us? The refreshing water of God’s Word and His Presence. It’s a time of repentance for us, a time of purging and cleansing. “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19

THE SMELTING FURNACE WILL REFINE YOU

“And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.” I Kings 17:7-9. Elijah had spent some time by the brook Cherith, but now he was to move on to a new brook. This second brook was Zarephath. The Zarephath means refinement or smelting furnace. To refine means to purify. This brook put Elijah in a position to depend on the widow to meet his needs. This was humbling I am sure, for a man who had called upon God to send fire from heaven and succeeded in challenging the false prophets. The Lord was preparing the prophet for greater and bigger things! Many times, we have to be humbled to truly trust God in every situation. Through this school of trusting God and dependency on others, we come to a place of great humility that is needed in our character so that we can be entrusted with greater assignments from Him. This school puts us into the fire. “Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.” Numbers 31:23 Elijah obeyed whether he understood or not and we need to do the same today!

PRAYER POWER TO RAISE THE DEAD

As the story goes on in First Kings, the widow’s son quit breathing and died! Elijah was called upon to pray for a miracle. “And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again. And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.” I Kings 17:20-22 Elijah’s obedience to the pruning and refinement had brought him to the place where his relationship with the Lord was so close that he had great confidence to call upon Jehovah God for the “Impossible” and God heard him. He had great favor with the Lord in getting his prayer answered. He was able to raise the dead! He had become a real disciple of the Lord with power from above! Elijah, a man of prayer, could touch God’s heart as he prayed and more comforting of all, God would hear him. He had favor with God because he had learned to abide! “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” John 15:7-8

LAST DAY DISCIPLES EMPOWERED WITH HIM

Dearly beloved, the brooks are needed in our lives so that we can grow. It helps us get rid of our pride, self-reliance and independence. The three and one-half years that Elijah spent by the brooks helped him empty of self, self-sufficiency and self–dependency. The brooks were needed to accomplish a good work in him. The prophet came into a greater anointing that enabled him to raise the dead! In modern day Christianity, the Holy Spirit continues to look for men and women who are willing to be led to the brooks of cutting, pruning and refinement. There, He will empower them with a GREAT WITNESS! At this very moment, God has a people who are being led by His Spirit to the spiritual brooks of refinement. Some are refusing to drink, and others are standing by the brook looking for another direction, which is not at all His plan for them. Beloved humble yourself, kneel by the brook, and drink those refreshing waters so that you may be empowered to go forth as a last day disciple! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
