"Psalm 113:3
"Come with Me.We will go to a quiet place to be alone...There we will get

Ps 23.The place of Ps 91:1]

WELCOME TO JAFFA GATE MINISTRIES WEB-SITE.
We are all about All Nations worship worship worship 24/7.
We reach the lost & broken hearted with the Good News of Jesus Christ
at The Cross through relationship and worship. Our Creator inhabits
the praises of His People. When He shows up,His enemies scatter. And
in His Presence we are changed from the inside out and grow from glory
to glory and our communities where we live begin healing...
We are living free to be who God created us to be honoring the culture of
our ancestors as well as respecting other folk's cultures in harmony in
light of God's Word!
We are part of "the tribe of Jacob";[read carefully in the gospel
[JOHN 4:12,19-26] Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan Woman at the
well].
We keep the feasts that are to be kept "forever"Lev 23:41.
However,we keep them the New Covenant Way, New Testament, in
Spirit & Truth, and no longer under the law of Abraham. We celebrate the
feasts and a Sabbath Rest Day by Grace and Freedom In Christ.He said in
the New Testament that He did not come to do away with the law but to
fulfill it Mt 5:17 and in Galatians 5:1-26 we are instructed to stay Free In
Christ.
We are in favor of unity unity unity in the body of believers in Y'shua;
Gal 5:15 "If you keep on biting and devouring each other,watch out or
you will be destroyed by each other."
1 Tim 2:8:"I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer,
without anger or disputing."
Gal 6:2 "Carry each other's burdens,and in this way you will fulfill the
law of Christ".
1 Cor 16:13-18 Do everything in love,devote yourself to service of the
saints,join in the work and labor.
This is truth we choose to believe and try and live by in our personal lives.
We were called here to Murphy[formerly Huntersville,formerly Cherokee
Lands],first to worship and minister to the Lord 24/7 and usher in His
Presence to heal these lands where blood is still crying out, and Second,
to call forth and be a welcome wagon and bridge to the Cherokee 1st Nation
descendants Our Creator is drawing in these end times to come back home;
the original caretakers of this land before the 1838 illegal Andrew Jackson
removal.Our mini-farm retreat is located in the center of these "original
extent of cherokee claims" lands you can view at
www.cherokeehistory.com
We are on the NC/TN/GA border,home to the Creek and Natchez in 1735.
We are called to break up dry cracked ground & plow in the spirit realm
for other believers God is drawing here to plant & water as we all grow in
unity and as One with Y'shua.
We are called to be a bridge connecting believers to believers & ministries
to ministries in love,compassion,forgiveness, and unity,God's Way,in light
of His Word,while embracing adversity without hatred, strife & division.
We can all know Y'shua & His Real Disciples of today by their love and
compassion and by their fruit;
The devil comes to kill, steal,and destroy but Jesus/Y'shua came to give
LIFE and life more abundantly.His gifts are peace, love,kindness,
gentleness,faith working in & flowing out continually in our lives...and not
hatred,murder,stealing,lies,addictions,disease, and self[me,myself and I];
the "what's in it for me" mindsets...
Christ says in His Word that His road is narrow and few take it but many
people are deceived and take the easy wide road that leads to destruction
and He talks about the [spiritually] blind leading the [spiritually] blind
into the ditch & about wolves in sheep clothing & calling evil good & good
evil...
Dive in His Word & read it for yourself & meditate on it.And stay in His
Presence through worship.
See www.soaking.net & clearer interpretation.
We believe in the Trinity;
Father,Son[Y'shua] and The Holy Spirit;One Creator.
Not 1+1+1=3 Gods rather 1x1x1=1 God.
[We all have a body and a mind and a spirit & we are not 3 people but
1 person/us made One in His Image].
Hope you leave with a stirring of the Holy Spirit for a deeper closer walk with Him.
And perhaps want to come by soon in person with your tent for a visit to soak
in His Presence & spend some time alone with Him
out on the property or down the prayer path or at the sweat lodge; used for worship,
cleansing,dedication and always prayerful intercession.
[Call ahead for a reservation 828 494 9404].
JaffaGateMinistries is a Christ-centered non-profit 501(c)3 24/7 Worship Retreat. We are a primitive prophetic retreat so bring your tent.If you are looking for a structure there is none. Our place of worship set aside is open air & invisible fashioned after
Rev 21:22-27,"The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple"...
We believe it is more important to give our offerings unto "Living Temples"[People]
rather than the costly upkeep of buildings...
We are also here for a future 1st Nations Christ Fellowship & Healing Center Retreat plant
to the descendants of the Cherokee Peoples called back to this area in these end times.
[If you are coming back & are looking for farm land or a retreat or church plant land to buy
or rent,contact us at the phone number below.
We have a mini-farm for sale].
In lieu of offerings to us this season, please send your offering instead directly to www.wiconi.com
for the 2008 7th gathering in Israel Sept 9-18th. They still need $1,000 for their trip.
Thank you.
***[A special thanks to those who gave 2007 & some of you sacrificially needing it yourself.
One believer's calling is just as important to God as another ministry's calling no matter how
small or big and we will all get the same reward. Our visible & more popular parts of our body
cannot say to our heart & unseen parts, "I do not need you". When one of us suffers, the whole
body suffers. No ministry should be suffering financial nor any other oppression.
Remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit & to the Ministries around you--the living temples of God--
that could use your help & that suffer.We all need to cover one another in prayer & need;faith
with works.
We all need investors in the Kingdom, not to mention we will be accountable one day if we see
& can do something about it but choose not to;
"Do not turn away from those who ask"]***.
We are seeing the increase in evil, because our enemy's time grows short; the judgements coming upon the earth in these end times as a sign;increase sin & wickedness & the anti-christ
& atheist move[as the days of Noah prophesied]causing natural disasters;God removing His
Covering of protection over this nation and other nations promoting ungodliness...But,God IS
still moving mightily in several churches & fellowship home meetings in our community, as well
as at open air meetings and He is moving where His true disciples,red & yellow,black & white,are
gathered together in unity exhaulting Y'shua & not man or group in our nation and abroad;His
Desire that no man perish & His relief & strength & love to endure our enemies "wearing down
the Saints!"
Pray which "ship" Our Creator would have you board to feed your spirit-man & renew your mind
day by day in His Word, if you do not have a church family.When the judgements starting falling
on Pharoah,Moses & Our Creators People felt some of the effects but were overall protected &
delivered & nourished under Our Creator's Covering!!!
Have ears to hear.
The Lord is moving greatly among the 1st Nation and Messianic Believer Communities.He is calling
the 1st Nations People to be the forerunners & usher in His Second coming.
I had a dream last year 2007 around the feast times of a white eagle dove. Then someone
else had a revelation word a few days later confirming what Our Creator showed me. You can read
that or get a copy of that at or through
www.elijahlist.com
JaffaGate's focus is ALL-Nations worship and soaking 24 hours a day 7 days a week & relationship with Our Creator & with His People.
To get a better understanding of what our ministry calling is,take the time to read Dick Eastman's
Trilogy books,"Heights" & "Pathways" & "River of Delight" found at www.everyhomeforchrist.com
If you believe that is your calling too,please come on board & join us.
We are a watchman and a voice calling in God's will for this land for His Plan & Purpose to be fulfilled
here & we are a bridge.
Everyone must work together on a well-built house beginning with a good foundation [Y'shua]. An
electrician does not have the giftings or training nor license to do the plumbers job nor the plumber
the roofers job nor the landscaper the roofers job...if you get the picture;
"have ears to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying.
We all need to work together in harmony with the same love and compassion Christ has for us, each
staying in our own lane with the task The Lord has called us to do but at the same time working together.
We believe in worship and relationship with Our Creator comes FIRST,that God's will & kingdom will flow out of that;then,we won't have to strive in what He has called us to do for Him personally or on a
cooperate level daily & in season.
Read the books to "taste & see" for yourself what miracles God does for you as you surrender all & focus
on Him & simply sit at His feet & keep Him as your first love;as you love Him for Who He is & not for
just what gifts He has for you in His Hands.It is all about what we can do for Him.Giving Him our hearts
and lives the way He gave us His.
"In that day I will restore the fallen kingdom of David. It is now like a house in ruins, but I will rebuild its walls and restore its former glory. Israel will possess what is left of Edom and all the nations
I have called will be mine. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do these things".
Amos 9:11-12; Acts 15:16&17; REV 5:9, 7:9-10,14:6, & 15:4; Mt 24:14 I will praise You O Lord among the nations.Be exhalted above the heavens and let Your glory be over all the earth.
Psalm 108:3-5.
WHAT WE DO;minister unto the Lord and usher in His Presence for a closer walk,salvations,deliverance and healing. Calling the things God wills in to be what they are not yet.Plowing for others to seed and
water.Building bridges between brothers & sisters in Christ of All Nations and First Nations People through
worship & intercession, bringing healing to wounds of our childhearts and restoring honor to our ancestors
to this land;learning to forgive & rise above offenses & unforgiveness,strife & division,and rise above evil
by choosing good through Y'shua Jesus & His Love.
He is the Vine & we are the Branches.We can do nothing apart from Him.
We are honored to be a part of His Family and desire to Hear His Voice saying, when we stand before
Him one day;"Well done
good and faithful servant" [and NOT His Voice say "Away from me you wicked servant"].
OUR MISSION: To be a habitation for the Lord and a continual praise in the earth;to be a quiet resting place and retreat for the Lord's musicians & worshippers to get away from distractions,the cares and even wounds
of this world;
to pull away from the stresses of life;to return to our"first love"[Rev 2:4]and come to an even deeper
relationship in Y'shua;
to be refreshed, strengthened,renewed and fine-tuned,leaving with the
Lord's fresh rhema word,guidance,comfort,and power[Rev 3:18-21].And leave focused with His will,plan
& purpose for our lives,
both personally & cooperately as the body of Christ.
WE believe if we stay in our own lane & encourage others to do the same[meaning being & allowing others to be who God created us to be individually & using the gifts & talents He created in us to use],whether it's
dancing flute or the drum,shofar or prayer shawl,or keyboard or electric guitar western church,everyone
followers of Jesus welcome & not excluded so that we will more effectively fulfill the task
God has given each of us to do for The Kingdom.
As believers, we are all on the same highway together traveling in the same direction pushing against the
enemies of God
[the devil,the flesh,the world].
WORD OF COUNCEL;Use caution & courtesy & your turn signals when switching lanes or when detouring,bro's & sister's In Christ.
We do not want to be fighting against God Himself.
Hear what the Spirit is saying. We all have work to do,small and large,and the smallest work is as important as the greatest work and will
receive the same reward.
Our mission is also to interceed and come along side our First Nations bro's & sisters as our Creator restores & weaves us into His tapestry of restoration & reconciliation in bringing
them back home to these lands & bringing the healing between nations.WE believe the First Nations People are a
wielding torch of God in the spirit realm,
bringing a fresh Holy Ghost anointing & outpouring in these last days to those who will embrace it.
As part of our Creators family,with the love
of Y'shua Messiah,The Waymaker,we extend our hand and our heart to those who will embrace the vision,
as we continue to move forward & go about Our Father's Business he has given us to do in these end times;
worship 24/7 in one accord and in the
manner He created us to do so without condemnation.
To praise until the Holy Spirit comes,then stand in
His Glory.
Let God arise & let His enemies be scattered.
We have a love for First Nations Believers & Jewish People, their ministries and ministries that support them financially and in intercession,encouragement and relationship.
We know Yahweh has called us here to this place in Murphy NC for a season
for His plan & purpose & for restorations.We will continue to follow Him in that direction day by day.
This land is dedicated unto The Lord to be used to glorify The Lord FIRST and bring honor to HIM as He calls &
restores & gathers the Cherokee Nation believers in Y'shua to Himself once again to their lands
through worship,fellowship and healing to its fullest,restoring honor to Our Cherokee Ancestors & Nations for today.
"If "MY people",who are called by My Name,will humble themselves & pray & seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven & will forgive their sin & will heal their land"
2 Chron 7:14
We invite First Nations Ministries to come Partner with us and take up the mantle here.
When Elisha picked up Elijah's mantle,Elisha received a double portion of Elijah's anointing and operated in a
continual flow of provisional miracles. Amazing things happened in his ministry.
God miraculously increased a widow woman's oil.
Others had to wait until they died to receive their reward;Heb 11:13,35-40
Jaffa Gate is one of many and a part of the All Nations 24/7 worship ministry networks God is raising up.
Our ministry holds its events outdoors and is fairly primitive, and seeks to be a place of
intercessory prayer and accoustic worship, a place to find rest and refreshing for individuals and small groups.
Jaffa Gate also seeks to be a place that stands in the gap, a hedge before God for the land & its people
in righteousness and holiness.
Ezek 22:30 We are committed to worshipping God constantly at all times. Worship Intercessors, as well as devoted members to the Jaffa Gate Ministry are welcome to come pray and worship 24/7, 365 days
a year as the Lord calls them to do so, but visits must be accompanied by reservation and done in allotted time slot
& permission granted or a visit first from your leadership.
Interested parties have a choice of memberships that want to come back on a regular basis. The specific areas set
aside are special places reserved just for prayer and worship, and is never used for any other
purpose. It is considered to be our Gethsemane.
The Holy Spirit has laid it upon the hearts of ministries and peoples across the nation and around the world to revive 24 hour prayer centers [Daniel 6:10]. Examples of these ministries have been found in not only here in Murphy NC
but other places in NC and in Florida, Kansas City MO and Alabama & soon upper Michigan. Other 24/7 ministries are
starting in Africa, Europe and Canada as people are responding to the call within their hearts to begin praying in not revival
but rather habitation.The Kingdom.The Second Coming. We feel it is time to start prayer ministries unto the Lord that
are all about relationship with Him then relationship with one another in love & compassion.
The "harp and bowl" revelation[Rev 8:1-5] birthed in many like us through the Holy Spirit is based on prayer that is
prophetic in nature, corporate worship [which includes a spontaneous singing of the song of the Lord][soaking],scripture
readings, and prophecy [confirming what the Lord is already saying to you and showing you in your
private time with Him]and however the Holy Spirit leads.
We are here for Our Creator,Jesus Christ,The Waymaker. Next we are here for the Intercessory Worshipper. We are an oasis
for the musicians & leaders in ministry to come worship,pray,rest,be healed
and simply spend quiet time
alone with the Lord to be strengthened & restored.
For special events click our calender in the upper left hand corner.[We are fasting & praying for 2008 JaffaGate events. WE most definitely will have Passover and Pentecost and Feast of Tabernacle
events for our partners].
OFFENSE; [The most used killer & hindrance to a believer]. Offenses will come to us & out of us daily,most cases not on purpose.It is how we deal with them & how we forgive & love past them that matters.
GOD OFFENDS THE MIND TO REVEAL THE HEART! Bow low.Worship.Keep your heart clean.REJOICE!!!Your victory is another believer's test! We all have giftings to share with one another and to give back unto The Lord for His glory what He has given us. We choose to love & accept others & ourselves past our differences & flaws,
allowing our Heavenly Father to do His job & not ours to fix & change ourselves as we do our part & stay out of His part.

Seek to grow in Jesus Christ,Our Creator,The Waymaker and come into unity with His body. ABOUT US: From the beginning of our walk with the Lord we started to notice a pattern in our life. Every three years, and to make that long story short [another story to tell around the campfire], here we aretoday in Murphy NC.
We knew we were to be involved in the 24/7 music ministry but did not know the details [and assumed it would be in
Asheville NC where we lived for 17 years]. The Lord had been speaking to us about the 24/7 retreat and it has been
stirring in us the last 7 of those 17 years. Then "unexpectedly" & "suddenly" God sent us to the Murphy NC area in 2004
to one of the West Gates in NC [giving us the name "Jaffa Gate"] because we are on the West Gate of NC like the West Gate
on the Western Wall in Jerusalem called Jaffa Gate. [There is a great spiritual history attached to Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem
concerning the new covenant & a place of healings].
We are located on the NC, TN, GA borders to establish the 24/7 All Nation's Worship Center for God's habitation for the
nationwide & worldwide intercessory prophetic worshipper,as well as serving western nc cherokee county,polk tn & fannin Ga
counties, and we seek to be a retreat for believers in Christ-centered ministry.
We are called to be a resting and restoration place for His weary believers laboring out there on the front lines. We are a
small intimate soaking place for His worshippers that simply enjoy spending volunteer time with Yeshua in His presence
and at His feet. We hope to be His oasis to our local church bodies, but not limited to, and invite a unity of musicians to come
worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords in spirit & in truth [Jacob tribe;re-read Jesus encounter iwith the Samaritan Woman
at the well].
We are a part of the Davidic Tabernacle Restoration Plan the Lord is raising up in the States and abroad. Although it has been a
challenge, we are excited about what the Lord has been doing here, in our lives, and in this land.
We are also waiting for the reopening of the old wells of revival that happened here 100 years ago near Fields of the Wood Bible Park/The Shearerschoolhouse outpouring.
God has not forgotten the prayers & godly righteous labors of the First Nation revivals and A.J Tomlinson,W.F.Bryant,The Spurling gentlemen & others at Camp Creek,as well as The black nation believers & native believer
outpourings in this area & around the globe around the same era,the end of the 1800's & early 1900's. We believe there
will be a breakthrough sign in the natural such as the Wright Brothers taking flight was the sign in the natural for the
outpouring event here 100 years ago. Other signs of the outpouring coming soon is meeting other believers also sent here recently
by God from other states, as well as the Lord bringing the First Nations people back to their homelands [similar to Him bringing
the Jews back to Israel]. This is an appointed season of restoration and healing, and with the other "signs of the times"
& judgements starting to pour out in our own country and in the world, we have to be somewhere closer to Yeshua's return!
We believe this time it will not be a "seasonal" revival here in Murphy NC & across our nation & other nations,
but rather, as Ryan Wyatt said,
"a sustained habitation of the glory of God on the earth, the Kingdom."
So,climb on board of what the Holy Spirit is doing.
REJOICE!!! PRESS INTO ALL YAHWEH HAS FOR YOU!!! THEN SHARE IT WITH OTHERS!!! The Lord also spoke through Wayne saying "we are at a fullness of time juncture". "Creator is opening the boxes that man-made religion put HIM in and The Waymaker is now releasing the things of heaven that have been locked up and hindered for centuries."
Our heart and the Creator's heart is to see healing and restoration in this land and our nations; first with our relationship
with the heavenly Father reunited and then one on one personal relationship with each other... .
Today we CAN forgive and love past our differences like Y'shua loves us.It is all a matter of choice and surrender to Our
Savior and allow Him to change us from the inside out.
Please contact us if you feel led to be a part of what the Lord is doing here.WE most definitely need all the financial as well as phyisical help we can get.
But most of all,we appreciate your prayers and musicianship,volunteering your worship time. Go before the Lord
and see how He would have you be involved in this work.
We would very much appreciate your prayers, and musicianship.
To be involved contact the phone number below. Leave a message, including your phone number and time we can return your call.
*We are looking forward to who the Lord brings to come along side us that believe in us to help us fulfill a nationwide & worldwide vision the Lord has given us to accomplish. He wants to restore
His musicians to doing what they were created to do,"WORSHIP" without the distractions of time & family stealers of "occupation".
God is raising up in this hour worshippers that will be paid
like King David had.
*Store up for yourself treasures in heaven and take your rewards with you when you leave this earth[Mt 6:20; 16:27 and Phil 4:18].
*Come into deeper intimacy with your Creator through volunteer worship time with Him. Our focus is on Jesus Christ and to glorify Him. We pray every believer keeps relationship with Yeshua as the foundation in their personal life and in the ministry God called them to do, then with one another as believers as we walk in love together.
Stay close to His heart and never take off your armor. Stand in the gap for God's plans and purposes.
Spend time regularly in the love chapters of God's Word and be doers, not only hearers of His Word. We pray for you a Shalom Year, meaning nothing missing, nothing broken in any area of your life! A year of Physical wholeness, emotional
and mental wholeness, financial Wholeness [to be able to stay out of lack and debt],and above all
spiritual wholeness. And an extra dose of the courage and strength needed to persevere. We pray together to become the Bride
without spot or wrinkle that Jesus Christ is looking for to speed His Return.
[And Will He find Faith????? Lk 18:8] We have many brothers and sisters in Christ we have not yet met. We look forward to your visit. Give us a phone call for a membership or visitor's pass. Come Worship the Lord. Partnership with us. The Lord bless you above and beyond what you could ask or think. Store up your treasures in Heaven. Shalom. Thank you and God's blessings.
