Prayer Points for Israel

Prayer Points:

• The salvation of Israelis – Lord please save your people, especially the new immigrants. Also, the Muslims as they celebrate Ramadan which ends on Sunday.

• Stability in the New Government

• Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 122 – Internal security – As expected, with Ramadan overlapping Passover, violence was ignited by Muslims in and around Jerusalem’s Old City and especially on the Temple Mount.

• Iran – Gantz said, Iran increased its 60% enriched uranium from 10 kg to 50 kg. Iran’s President threatened Israel again this week.

• Aliyah – Since last Passover, over 40,000 new immigrants have arrived in Israel.

DOUBLE PURIM 2022 – a double portion of breakthrough

The festival of Purim commemorates the divinely orchestrated salvation of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire from Haman’s plot “to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day.” It is celebrated with Megillah readings, gifts of food, charity, feasting, and merriment.

May Prayer Focus

PART 1: Celebrate the birth of the State of Israel; the joy and the fulfilment of the promises to Abraham and our Faithful Covenant keeping God – as your heart is led.

PART 2: SHIELDS OF THE LORD RAISED FOR ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM

The same enemies who started a war against the Declaration of Independence made on May 14, 1948, have never ceased their attacks on Israel to this day to destroy Israel. Today in 2022 killing the innocent, threatening the people of God, even with nuclear weapons; seeking to surround Jerusalem; to turn the world against Israel in whatever way they can.

We intercede for Israel to the Captain of the Hosts of Heaven, Yeshua Ha Mashiach;

• that the leaders and the people of Israel would cry out to their God who saves and keeps them.

• a miracle for unity of Government, of God’s wisdom and for stability and freedom from fear and intimidation and oppression in these days.

• protection and wisdom for the IDF leadership; Mossad to hear plans of the enemy.

• comfort for the wives and children and communities for those murdered in terror attacks.

• that in these times, the eyes of the Israeli people would be opened to see Yeshua and know who He is and turn and love Him.

• prosperity and safety for Israel in every dimension and increase and restoration; and for salvation – the precious Blood of Yeshua – their King.

Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD,

The shield of your help And the sword of your majesty!

Your enemies shall submit to you, And you shall tread down their high places.”

Deuteronomy 33:29

Behold, He who keeps Israel

Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD is your keeper;

The LORD is your shade at your right hand.

6 The sun shall not strike you by day,

Nor the moon by night.

Psalm 121: 4-6

For You are the glory of their strength,

And in Your favor our [a]horn is exalted.

18 For our shield belongs to the LORD,

And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

Psalm 89:17-18

But You, O LORD, shall endure forever,

And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.

13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion;

For the time to favor her,

Yes, the set time, has come.

Psalm 102:12-13

June Prayer Focus

The salvation of Israelis – both Jews and Arabs
A new government: IFI – During prayer, before Lapid’s announcement, we asked God to show us what He was doing. He said to two of us at the same instant, “I am answering your prayers!” For a government to be quickly formed that will be stable and not compromise with Israel’s enemies. Ps 33:12. Nel is incubating Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; (tohu ve bohu) and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Order out of chaos.
Security – Iran & its proxies
Security – internal: Biblically, Hamas is an internal threat since Gaza is part of the tribe of Judah’s inheritance (Josh. 15:1, 47).
The Body of Messiah: It is distressing to see how many born-again believers do not see the prophetic implications of Israel’s restoration. In fact, many in the Body stand against God’s will as revealed in the Scripture, by standing with the Palestinians’ demand for a state. These believers think they know what “social justice” means more than what God’s Word says.
The Iranian regime is playing mind games with most nations.
Messianic leaders/congregations/unity
Poverty – Olim not the main problem but Arabs, Orthodox and Sephardics, lesser educated in villages are the poor ones in Israel.
Pray against the rise of Anti-Semitism/Anti Zionism in whatever form it takes.
Aliyah/anti-Semitism: The doors of Israel should be flung wide open to Jews in Exile who find themselves under increasingly violent attacks. Yet there are very disturbing reports of some of Israel’s representatives in the nations who place unnecessary stones of stumbling in the paths of Jews trying to make Aliyah.

May Prayer Focus

The salvation of Israelis – both Jews and Arabs
Israel’s new government formation: It looks hopeless for Bibi Netanyahu to put together a coalition.
Last night, during a massive celebration by ultra-Orthodox of Lag B’Omer on Mount Meron in northern Israel, there was a stampede which left more than 40 people dead and many more injured. Please pray for the survivors, the families of the dead and for the recovering of the injured. Also ask God to use this grave tragedy to open their eyes to the real Messiah – Yeshua.
Riots, rockets & Ramadan: Ramadan, Islam’s holy month, has proven to be once again a very violent time in Israel. There were riots in many areas including Jerusalem and Jaffa, and terrorists in Gaza shot dozens of rockets into Israel. There were calls for another intifada.
Palestinian Authority [PA] President Abbas has used Israel’s refusal to allow Arabs in Jerusalem to vote as an excuse to cancel their May 22 national elections.
Pray for the Body of Christ, the congregations to put Israel into the correct focus.
Salvation over Ramadan: This is always the best way to gain victory over God’s enemies – by seeing them become part of His, and our,in family.
The Iranian regime is playing mind games with most nations.
Messianic leaders/congregations/unity
Poverty – Pray for all those who are struggling to feed their families, pay their rent, other bills as a result of losing their jobs, or on unpaid leave.
Pray against the rise of Anti-Semitism in whatever form it takes.
Aliyah

April Prayer Focus

The salvation of Israelis – both Jews and Arabs
Israel’s Current government: Depending on how negotiations for the next government proceed the current government might still be in office for several months. And if we go to another election, which is a definite possibility, then we are looking at another five to six months in which Israel’s current government is still running the nation.
International Criminal Court: Responding to the illegal and blasphemous ICC accusations against Israel of war crimes needs to happen by next week. Yet reportedly, as of this alert, there have been no meetings to discuss what Israel’s strategy should be.
Internal security: The rumours about the up-coming Palestinian elections continue to fly. One of the most popular Palestinians to challenge Abbas is the terrorist Marwan Barghouti who is serving several life sentences in jail in Israel. If he wins, expect pressure from an anti-Semitic, anti-Zionistic world to fall on Israel to release him, with likely unfair comparisons to Nelson Mandela.
External security: Today all of Israel’s dangerous external security issues come from Iran and its proxies: Hizbullah in Lebanon and Syria; Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza; the Houthis in Yemen and the various Iraqi proxies Iran is trying to establish. Iran’s proxies in Yemen now have long range missiles which can reach Israel.
Messianic leaders/congregations/unity
Pray for the Gentile Church in the nations to arise and to re-connect with its Hebraic family and the complete story.
The Coronavirus crisis in Israel easing – nation still struggling as life resumes after lockdown.
Poverty – Pray for all those who are struggling to feed their families, pay their rent, other bills as a result of losing their jobs, or on unpaid leave.
Pray against the rise of Anti-Semitism in whatever form it takes.
Aliyah.

March Prayer Focus

The salvation of Israelis – both Jews and Arabs
Israel General Election 23rd March. Pray that the Lord will give Israel a fully functioning government following the election.
Messianic leaders/congregations/unity
The Coronavirus crisis in Israel that the vaccine would be effective
Poverty – Pray for all those who are struggling to feed their families and pay their rent and other bills as a result of losing their jobs or being laid off on unpaid leave.
Pray against the rise of Anti-Semitism in whatever form it takes.
Aliyah.

It is an ancient Festival with a modern application.

God’s name is not mentioned once in these ten chapters, but His workings are evident on every page. He is always at work behind the scenes. Continue reading “The Esther Generation: Purim”
