JERUSALEM, Israel -- The letter to the Ephesians in the Bible says much of what happens in the natural realm has spiritual roots.

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12)

So how are people praying into the terror wave sweeping across Israel?

Intercessory groups in Israel, along with Christian and Jewish groups worldwide, are calling on people to pray at this critical time in Israel's history.

Intercessors for Israel, an indigenous Israeli ministry that sponsors a weekly prayer meeting and annual intercessory prayer conference in Jerusalem, posted an emergency prayer alert this week.

According to IFI, the basis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict lies in the Palestinian Authority's unwillingness to acknowledge in any way that the Jewish Temples once stood on the same mount where the al-Aksa Mosque now sits.

P.A. President Mahmoud Abbas recently said Jews should not be allowed to soil the area with their "filthy feet."

There have been a variety of efforts over the years to destroy archaeological evidence of a Jewish presence on the Temple Mount. The Islamic Movement in Israel, for example, denies any historical Jewish connection to the Western Wall.

But the last remaining vestige of the Temples has great spiritual significance to the Jewish people, some calling it Judaism's holiest site.

During the Jordanian occupation from 1948 until Jerusalem was reunited under Israeli sovereignty in 1967, Jews were forbidden to enter the Old City.

Despite the fact that Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Koran, Islamic Movement leader Sheikh Raed Salah still claims the wall is part of the al-Aksa Mosque's western tower.

Meanwhile, the Jerusalem-based headquarters of Bridges for Peace called on people "to bring prayers and petitions before the Lord on behalf of the nation of Israel, which exists for His purposes and His glory."

"Call upon Him to strengthen the resolve of His people as they face increasing acts of violence meant to dislodge them from the Land of their inheritance," Bridges wrote, citing Jeremiah 31:35-36.

Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day, the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, and its waves roar (The Lord of hosts is His name): "If those ordinances depart from before Me, says the Lord, then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever."

On the Huffington Post website, Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson admonished people not to lose hope and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

"Our brothers' and sisters' blood cries out to us from the ground. We have watched with pain and sorrow as the recent wave of terror attacks have claimed too many lives and orphaned too many children," Artson writes.

"We unconditionally condemn these violent attacks on innocent Israeli citizens. No political motive justifies murdering or injuring civilians. We call on the Palestinian and international leadership to condemn these attacks in no uncertain terms," he continued, noting "the shock of attack after attack…can immobilize."

"I beg of you: don't lose hope. Stand tall and proud as Jews, as a Jewish community -- and reach out to anyone you know in Israel or with Israeli family and friends. Let's model the love we pray influence our political reality, soon and in our days," he wrote.

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Please God, may it be so: right now," Rabbi Artson concluded, expressing the hearts of Christians and Jews alike.

DAILY SCRIPTURE PRAYERS AND PROCLAMATIONS TO BLESS ISRAEL by Rev. Derek Prince

DAILY SCRIPTURE PRAYERS 

AND PROCLAMATIONS TO BLESS ISRAEL

by Rev. Derek Prince

While we have this open window of time, let us join together with thousands in agreement and each day proclaim one scripture prayer for Israel.

1. Father God, remove the veil You have sovereignly placed over the eyes of Israel, that they would recognize Jesus as their Messiah
(II Corinthians 3:14).


2. Lord, show Your mercy and favor to Israel in this set time (Psalm 102:13).


3. We pray for the current leaders in Israel, including the Prime Minister, the mayor of Jerusalem, and all those in the military service. Raise up government leaders in Israel (and world-wide) who will not seek to 'divide the land' and who would recognize the unique significance of Jerusalem in
God's end-time purposes.


4. "He Who scattered Israel will gather him; and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock" (Jeremiah 31:10). Father, continue to draw the Jewish people to Yourself according to Your sovereign.


5. Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. Let them be as grass upon the housetops, which wither before it grows up (Psalm 129:5-5). L-rd, deal justly and swiftly with Your enemies.


6. Destroy and divide the tongues of those who would encite violence against Israel (Psalm 55:9). In the Name of Jesus, we bind every false religion  and false doctrine that does not acknowledge Your eternal plan for the land and people of Israel.


7. The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous (Psalm 125:3). Father, break the strongholds of religion, pride and wickedness that seek to control Israel.


8. The Lord will not forsake His people for His great Name's sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make Israel His people (I Samuel 12:22). Use us Lord to help others understand Your plan for Israel and Your love for the Jewish People.


9. The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes their plans of no effect (Psalm 33:10). We declare that G-d's purposes for Israel will be completely fulfilled and that He will be glorified.


10. Show Your loving kindness to Your people Israel and keep them as the apple of Your eye. Hide them under the shadow of Your wings, from the wicked who oppress them, from their deadly enemies who surround them (Psalm 17, 7-9).


11. We pray that You would remember Your covenants and promises towards Israel, especially when others rise up against her to swallow her alive. When their wrath is kindled against her, the waters will not overwhelm her. God will not give her as a prey to their teeth (Psalm 124).


12. Sanctify Your Great Name, which has been profaned amongst the nations, which has been profaned in the midst of Israel. That nations shall know that the Lord is God, when He is sanctified in Israel before their eyes. Sprinkle the clean water of Your Word on Israel and cleanse her from her filthiness and from all of her idols, including abortion and the occult. Give Israel a new heart, and put a new spirit within her. Remove her heart of stone and give her a heart of flesh that can respond to the Holy Spirit, and cause her to walk in Your statues, keep Your commandments and do them (Ezekiel 36:23-27).


13. Cause the church to fulfill its commission to preach the Gospel to the whole world, so the full number of the Gentiles would come into the Kingdom. Then all Israel will be saved (Romans 11:25-26).


14. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6) and for it to remain Israel's undivided capital.


15. Father, in Your mercy vanquish the tremendously powerful religious spirits which do the whole territory - Jewish, Christian and other.


16. Pray for the spirit of unity - for peace between religious and secular Jews, for peace to flow between believers in the land.


17. Pray for the Body of Messiah in Israel to become a praying, maturing Body. We pray this Body would allow the love and compassion of Yeshua to flow through them and touch everyone they encounter.


18. Raise up intercessors for Israel. Put more watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem, who will give You no peace day or night until You establish Jerusalem and make her the praise of the earth (Isaiah 62:6-7).


19. Father, bring glory to Your Name through the mercy You show to the Land. Bring the necessary seasonal rain upon the country. Cause the crops to be bountiful.


20. We pray that the three spiritual forces of humanism, marxism-socialist philosophy and spiritual inheritance of the Ottoman Empire will be broken and rendered powerless.


21. Bless Israel through the many immigrants who are flowing back to the nation. Bring sovereign, supernatural move of the Holy Spirit among these new immigrants, that they might proclaim Your truths to their fellow Jews.


22. We pray for radical change in the Israeli system of government, that the divisiveness partisanship would give way to unity and cooperation; great wisdom and revelation to all members of the Knesset and Israel's Supreme Court.


23. We pray that, in the midst of pressures, the people of Israel will turn to You, God. We pray that You will hear the hearts cry of people in this land and have mercy. As it says in Isaiah 30:19 "You shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry. When He hears it, He will answer."


24. Pour out Your Spirit upon the people of Israel - especially upon the young people so Your works can be declared to future generations.


25. Raise up "sons of Zion" who take God's Word seriously in opposition to humanistic's of Greece." (Zechariah 9:13).


26. We prepare for the Holy Spirit to intervene in the current situation in Israel. "When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the L-rd shall lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19).


27. Turn the hearts of the people of Israel to trust in the Name of the Lord for deliverance not in the chariots and horses of their military might (Zechariah 4:6).


28. God raise up elders and young leaders to teach and train the new generation of Israelis who are coming in faith of the Messiah.


29. We pray that the Palestinian Arabs will come to faith in Messiah and embrace God's end-time purpose for Israel; Send forth laborers to bring in the appointed harvest from the Middle East.


30. May Israel's relationship with the United States, Canada, Australia and other nations be strong, and may our nation - and especially young believers -- recognize and support God's purpose for Israel.


31. Lord, we ask that the young believers in America and throughout the world would come to love Jewish people and seek to prepare the return of the Messiah.

As believers in Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach), we lift up our brethren, as fathers in the faith.

The Jewish people have been, and are being used by the Lord (Adonai) to show His love and purposes for all people in all nations. We are wise to take heed.

Jerusalem - the eternal capital city of Israel, 

and the King of kings and Lord of lords.

So do we Charlie Brown!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; those who love you will be serene. PSALMS (122:6) שַׁאֲלוּ שְׁלוֹם יְרוּשָׁלִָם יִשְׁלָיוּ אֹהֲבָיִךְ תהילים קכ''ב:ו Sha-ah-LOO she-LOME Ye-roo-sha-la-YEEM yeesh-la-YOO oh-ha-va-YEEKH

Jerusalem - the Capital of Israel

Shalom Jerusalem!

Shalom is the Hebrew word for "Peace" and is used to greet as in "Hello" to this day. As a site of many wars over history, Jerusalem is a place which represents conflict. But at the same time, and for this reason, Jerusalem represents peace and the hope to achieve peace. It is in Jerusalem where Judaism  Christianity and Islam built the amazing beliefs in peace in the name of God. 

But, unlike the former days when Jerusalem was faced with several collisions, the current city of Jerusalem is a modern city with many who call for peace and ending the ethno-religious conflicts. You will meet several signboards with written messages of peace and togetherness. 

Peace in Jerusalem is often referred to in the Bible (New Testament and Old). Here are some examples:


Joshua 10:1
Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

1 Kings 3:15
And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream: and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

2 Chronicles 19:1
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.

Psalm 122:6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.

Isaiah 62:1
For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth.

Isaiah 62:6
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are Jehovah's remembrancers, take ye no rest,

Jeremiah 4:10
Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the life.

Ezekiel 13:16
to wit, the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord Jehovah.

Zechariah 9:10
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

Tehillim 122:6
Sha’alu shalom Yerushalayim (pray for the peace of Jerusalem); they shall prosper that love thee.

Thy kingdom come has broad applications - Jim Croft

Thy kingdom come has broad applications 

- Jim Croft

Most everyone is familiar with the Lord’s Prayer. The first petition within it is thy kingdom come. When Jesus issued the prayer to his disciples, it is doubtful that the first thought of kingdom that came to their minds was that of the supernatural dynamics of Charismatic church services. 

At that juncture, the concept of what authentic church services might entail had not fully evolved. That would not begin until the first introduction of the Lord’s functional Church on the Day of Pentecost after his resurrection. 

 It is clear from the Gospels and Acts 1, that when kingdom was mentioned, the first thought that likely came to the mind of Jews was the restoration of the kingdom of Israel to the Jews. The ministry of Jesus gave the Jewish population great hopes of riddance of Roman occupation. 

 Political activists were among his 12 Apostles and the population wanted to crown him as King. The longing for the restoration of the kingdom to Israel was heavy on the minds of the 120 at the time of Jesus’ ascension from the Mount of Olives. The last question they asked the Master was when the kingdom would be restored to the Jews. 

Interestingly, he did not dismiss the issue as having no importance whatever in God’s plan. He told his followers that the timing of that event was in his Father’s hands. (Act 1:3, 6-7) The text does not remotely imply that it will not happen. 

I will not attempt to list all of the events that must happen to usher in the 2nd Advent of the Lord. But, I’ll try to give a thumbnail sketch pertinent to the restoration of the kingdom to Israel and the onset of the Battle of Armageddon. The restored kingdom must include every inch of land promised to the descendants of Abraham and Jacob. 

 If God does not fulfill his ancient vow about the restoration of Israel’s kingdom borders, we have no reason to believe that the Bible’s other unfulfilled prophecies are reliable. (Deut. 1:7-8) 

The Promised Land’s northern boundaries are to extend from the Mediterranean on the west and then eastward all the way to the Euphrates River. From the north to south, it must cover the territory from the middle of Lebanon; a bit of Syria; most of present-day Jordan to near proximity southward to Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Israel has not had full possession of the land promised since Solomon’s day. 

Presently, hostile forces occupy the largest portions of the Jew’s homeland. Only 34% of the world’s Jewry resides in Israel. The other 66% remain dispersed in other locales. The entire acreage must be under Jewish control and they must dwell there safely for a considerable time without fear of invasion. 

The prophets declared that the Lord would gather Israel into her land for a second time. (Isa. 11:11-12) There are at least 4 biblical references to that era evolving into the Jew’s full possession of their homeland and unprecedented national peace with no fear of enemies. (Ezek 38:8, 11, 14, 39:26) 

The nature of their state of peace is exemplified by a symbolic vision. Cattle will graze with bears and little kids can stick their hands into venomous snake dens without harm. (Isa 7:6-9, 65:17-25) We have not seen much of that recently and much less Israel dwelling with no concerns about attacks. 

At some point Israel’s peace will be disrupted as the combined military forces of the nations gather to marshal a unified assault. This will take place on Israel’s Plain of Megiddo. Armageddon is the Hebrew translation for the Mount of Megiddo. (Rev 16:16-21, 19:11-21) 

In regard to a short term countdown toward any battle akin to Armageddon, there are 2 essential facts to keep in mind: It cannot happen until massive numbers of Jews are engrafted into the Church. (Ezek 20:34-38; Rom 11:17-36; Eph 2:14-16, 4:13) And, the Jews must be enjoying full peaceful possession of their Promised Land. 

I cannot claim that the Jews of Israel don’t have any culpability for getting dispossessed from settlements that legitimately belong to them by world leaders that have Islamic sentiments. God said he would uproot the Jews from their land if they disobeyed his statutes. (2 Chron 7:19-20) 

They continually do so and worse still, they refuse to acknowledge the identity of their Messiah. I suggest that you insert a new focus of prayer when you pray thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let it be about more than legitimate kingdom perks for your household and deliverance from evil. 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; the salvation of the Jews; and that they will soon gain full possession of the land promised to them by God. (Psa 122:6-8; Rom 9:3-5) I have done so for years and enjoy a level of blessings that I am zealous for all believers to enjoy. What say you?
