Karen Wheaton, Mike Bickle Team Up to Awaken Jerusalem This Year - STEPHEN JENKS/EAGLES' WINGS CHARISMA NEWS

"Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For the uncircumcised and the unclean will no longer enter you" (Isa. 52:1).
It's time for those who love Jerusalem to recognize the hour in which we live and lean in to God's promises. It's time for united prayer and fasting so we can see God's will in heaven be manifested on the earth.
The present alignment of prophetic timing is no coincidence.
Israel's 70th year of rebirth and Jerusalem's 50th year of reunification point to the larger reality of what God intends to do in the Holy Land. A glance at scripture indicates the significance of both 70 and 50. The Jewish people returned from Babylonian exile after 70 years. The year of Jubilee occurred every 50 years. Both of these events contain the themes of deliverance, planting, rest, presence and fulfilled promises. In this moment of a 70/50 intersection, it's time to see the next wave of God's Spirit sweep across Israel and the Middle East, as we believe for blessing, fullness and peace for both Isaac and Ishmael.
However, just because the time is right does not guarantee the manifestation of God's promises.
Throughout history, we see times like these where it took a deeper level of pressing in to God call forth the manifestation on earth as it is in heaven.
In Daniel 9:1-3, Daniel realizes the strategic hour in which he lives. He realizes he is on the eve of Jeremiah's 70-year prophecy. It's time for the Jews to go home. His response, though, is not casual observance to see if Jeremiah's words will come true. Instead, he uses the prophecy as a weapon of intercession. He responds by setting himself to prayer and fasting. He leans in.
As he does, we read about the manifestation of Jeremiah's words in the book of Ezra. God awakens the spirit of Cyrus, and he releases the Jews to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. The awakening of Cyrus is an answer to Daniel's prayers. He prayed the will of God into manifestation.
Similar to today, with the president of the U.S. moving the embassy to Jerusalem during the 70th anniversary, we must be a people like Daniel who understand the times and know what to do. This is that. It's time for Jerusalem!
For Daniel, extended prayer and fasting were the appropriate response to the hour in which he lived. For us, the answer is no different. It's time for extended prayer and fasting.
Today, Christian leaders, young and old, from around the world (signatures below) are calling for a global 21-day Awake Jerusalem Fast beginning Sept. 10 on Rosh Hashanah, ending on Sept. 30, just one week before the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, which is the first Sunday of every October.
This year's fay of prayer also initiates Awake Jerusalem, where many of these leaders and hundreds of young Christians are gathering together in Jerusalem for a 72-hour prayer and worship event summoning Christians across the nations to Jerusalem.
This is an Isaiah 2 moment, where nations are flowing to Zion.
Remember, significant moments demand significant response. This 70-year window of Israel's rebirth will never come again in history. Now is the time to shake ourselves from casual observance to determined intercession.
Like Daniel, will you lean in? Will you answer the call? Visit awakejerusalem.com/call-to-fast.

Prayer Event Unites Hundreds of Millions for Peace of Jerusalem

As dignitaries from around the world flew into Jerusalem to pay their respects to Israeli leader Shimon Peres, who passed away last week, a hundred representatives from several continents gathered in Jerusalem to call the nations to prayer through a global television broadcast for The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ).
Started in 2002, and co-chaired by Evangelical Christian leaders Rev. Robert Stearns, Dr. Jack W. Hayford and Dr. Paul Cedar, the DPPJ is a movement calling believers to intercede for the city God calls His own and to invoke God's blessing, purposes and provision upon all of Jerusalem's people. On Sunday October 2, believers on six continents gathered in remote villages and sprawling metropolises, in grass huts and ornate cathedrals to lift their voice in obedience to Psalm 122:6.  

Broadcast by GOD TV to 300 million viewers in 192 nations, people were also able to participate in the special Jerusalem DPPJ Celebration—hosted by Eagles' Wings Founder/Executive Director Rev. Robert Stearns at the Tayelet Haas Promenade overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem.
Some of the speakers included: Minister of Knesset, Rabbi Yehuda Glick; Joshua Reinstein, Executive Vice President, Israel Allies Foundation and Director of the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus; David Nekrutman, Executive Director of the Center for Jewish Christian Understanding and Cooperation (CJCUC); and Dr. Faydra Shapiro, Director of the Galilee Center for Studies in Jewish-Christian Relations at the Max Stern Yezreel Valley College.
Rev. Stearns welcomed the nations saying, "Year after year, we continue to see Christians rising up and standing with God's covenant with Israel, and agreeing with God's promises for the seed of Abraham, both Isaac and Ishmael. Pastors all over the nations are leading their congregations to support and pray for the peace of Jerusalem and all her inhabitants."
Josh Reinstein encouraged the audience, "When we pray for Jerusalem we are praying what G-d wants ... He wants us to keep Jerusalem close to our hearts."
Minister of Knesset, Rabbi Yehuda Glick, challenged those gathered, "We are seeing the word coming out of the book as we sit here ... what was, is now happening. Each of us needs to be a flame in a menorah and burn bright for Jerusalem."
David Nekrutman, the Executive Director of the CJCUC said, "I am amazed at the anointing on Robert Stearns' life to unite Jews and Christians. I'm honored and privileged to call him my friend and continue to share his vision to partner together to pray for the peace of Jerusalem."
Adding practical action to their commitment to bless Israel, during the event Rev. Stearns presented a check for $10,000 to an Israeli charity dedicated to feed those in need in Israel. 
The Jerusalem DPPJ celebration was saturated in prayer for God's city and people. Sharon Sanders of Christian Friends of Israel-Jerusalem prayed, "Our Father, we stand here today because of your unfolding word to this nation.  We see your promises coming to pass." Referencing the sadness of the passing of Israeli leader Shimon Peres, Rev. Dr. Petra Heldt, of The Ecumenical Theological Research Fraternity prayed, "Our Lord, in the midst of turmoil we jointly witness your glory and see Jerusalem shine like a diamond."
Throughout the 24 hours of October 2, over 600 believers from around the world also prayed together through the 24-Hour DPPJ Prayer Conference Call hosted bygreatercalling.org. Callers representing many states in the U.S. were joined by believers from the nations, praying a total of 39,816 combined minutes of prayer, which is the equivalent to one person praying for the peace of Jerusalem non-stop for more than 27 days.
Social media was also a key part of October 2 with global believers in over 40 nations taking to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and the world's leading prayer app, PrayWithMe, pledging to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, including a single-day record of an estimated 705,912 people reached simultaneously with the message of prayer for Jerusalem.
The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem—on the first Sunday of every October—is the largest Jerusalem-focused prayer initiative in the world, involving tens of millions of believers participating each year from over 175 nations. It is endorsed by prominent Christian leaders worldwide, including T.D. Jakes, Joyce Meyer, Samuel Rodriguez, Michael W. Smith, Kenneth Copeland, Kay Arthur, Jane Hansen Hoyt, Ravi Zacharias, Lance Wallnau, Larry Stockstill, The Newsboys, Dennis Balcombe and Sunday Adelaja.

Kathie Lee Gifford Inspires at Jerusalem Banquet

Standing With Israel

Eagles' Wings held its 10th annual Jerusalem Banquet at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in Battery Park on June 2, 2016. The room was packed to capacity with dignitaries, celebrities, business leaders and religious leaders from both the Jewish and Christian community.
The high-energy evening included an address from Consul General of Israel in New York, Ido Aharoni. Prominent leaders of the evening included Jon Loew, Bishop David Thomas, Dr. Charlotte Frank, Irwin Hochberg, Pastor Juan Rivera and Kathie Lee Gifford.
Culminating the gathering, Aharoni presented Gifford the Ha Tikvah Award in honor of her strong support for Israel. Mrs. Gifford, an author, recording artist and Emmy-award-winning television host of the Today Show, recently traveled to Israel and did a series of segments helping her audience see the beauty of Israel and its people.
"We read in Genesis that the Spirit of God, which is translated in Hebrew as shalom, hovered over chaos before creation," Gifford said. "Each of us has the opportunity to bring shalom to the chaos of our world. Thank you Rev. Stearns for this honor and the great work you are doing to bring shalom."
Event chair Rev. Robert Stearns spoke to the crowd, enthusiastically sharing, "Tonight we are standing together as Jews and Christians united in our love and support for Israel and the Jewish people. Tonight in this room, we can change history."
The event centered on celebrating the legacy of amazing leaders in the Jewish and Christian communities, and equipping the next generation to be strong voices in support of Israel and the Jewish people. Dr. Charlotte Frank, vice president of McGraw Hill Education and chair of the Executive Committee of America-Israel Friendship League, was honored for her life of impact in education, advocacy and strengthening ties between Israel and America. Thomas, senior leader of the 5,000-member Victory Christian Center, whose ministry has touched many tens of thousands around the world, was honored for his years of faithful leadership and his steadfast support for Israel. 
One of the highlights of the evening was hearing passionate speeches from young Israel Experience Scholars. The Israel Experience which has been dubbed the "Christian Birthright" trains the best and brightest Christian college and university students to be informed ambassadors for Israel in the midst of a rising tide of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment on university campuses.
