1. The
Jerusalem Post ran a story on the Messianic Jews living in
Israel. It was a good article that implicitly admitted that Messianics were "Jews"….this is a real breakthrough in the media. Lord, we pray for the believers in the Land. Cause them to be encouraged by these positive developments. We bless all who know You, Yeshua, as Saviour and Lord.
2. It was confirmed this week that oil was found near Rosh Ha'ayin in central
Israel. The size of the caverns will be discovered in coming weeks. This could be a significant find for
Israel thereby removing the nation from dependency on Arab oil. Thank You, Lord for blessing
Israel with oil. May the caverns below be much larger than expected. May
Israel's enemies see Your hand in all this…and may they repent and turn to You.
3. On September 1, there will be a meeting in the White House of PM Netanyahu, President Abbas, President Obama, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, President Mubarak and King Abdullah II… the purpose is to begin direct negotiations on September 2.
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided My land.
Joel 3:1-2
Lord, the noose is tightening around the neck of
Israel. They are being told that they must - for the sake of "world peace," - divide their inheritance with a people who refuse to even recognize them as the Jewish State.
LORD, it is nothing with You to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power. Help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; let not man prevail against You.
2 Chronicles 14:11
If it had not been LORD who was on our side, now may
Israel say… when men rose up against us: then they had swallowed us up quick…Then the waters had overwhelmed us… Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Psalms 124:1-8
We do thank You that, according to King David in this Psalm, You are on
Israel's side - as we say so! Break this snare that the nations are setting for
Israel's negotiators - especially Prime Minister Netanyahu. Help him to trust and look to You more than to trust and look to the nations - especially
America with its current administration. We ask for a strong anointing on PM Netanyahu and his negotiating team to not be manipulated or deceived by anything that happens in these talks (Num. 23:23). Instead, give Netanyahu supernatural clarity and insight to avoid all of the snares that will be set before him. Continue to harden the already hard hearts of the PA leadership. Let Obama and his team see that they are being unreasonable and not willing to compromise one iota. Wake up the believers to the grave danger their current political leadership is leading them into and encourage them to stand in the gap for their nation and its relationship to Your nation
Israel.
I sought for a man…that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore…have consumed them with the fire of My wrath…
Ezekiel 22:30-31b
For thus says LORD of hosts; After the glory has He sent Me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that touches you touches the apple of His eye.
Zechariah 2:8
4. The flotillas appear to be on hold for the time being. Lord, continue to protect
Israel. Give its leaders much wisdom how to deal with the next attack if it comes
LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me… they stumbled and fell. Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
Psalms 27:1-3
5. The police recommend the indictment of Ehud Olmert on real estate fraud from 1993-2003. Lord, we pray for justice and truth to prevail. Cause Olmert to become a believer in You and to move from his atheistic beliefs.
6. Small riots continued in
Jerusalem over the bulldozing of the fake graves placed by the Waqf authorities near
Independence
Park. Thank you for bringing this deceit to light, O Lord. Cause the Palestinians to see that their leaders are not acting in their best interests.
7.
Ben
Gurion
University is being infiltrated by radical left professors who are causing incredible distortion of facts surrounding
Israel and it actions to survive. Lord, we stand against this kind of fanaticism that distorts truth and propagates lies. Cause leaders to rise up and take action.
8. Anti-Semitism continues to grow in the Arab states surrounding
Israel. A latest poll shows President Obama's popularity has shrunk from 45% approval to 20%. Tremendous support for radical President Erdogan of
Turkey was expressed.
Israel was seen negatively by 97% of those polled. Open blind eyes, O Lord. May the hate in
Israel's enemies be replaced with love for You and Your people.
9. The Finnish head of Amnesty International called
Israel a "scum state" this week.
Norway's government voted to divest from investments in
Israel.
England reported that one half of its 1600 mosques are under the control and direction of imams who advocate violent jihad and contempt for Jews, Christians and Hindus. Lord, we hate the demonic spirits controlling anti-Semitism in the world. Cause those who are caught in its web to be set free in you.
10.
Syria,
Iran, and
Lebanon reported that their armies are on full alert this week. Tension in the
Middle East is very high at this time. Abba, You see what is happening in
Iran. Arise and defend
Israel from this threat from the Spirit of
Persia. Lord, shake
Iran spiritually by continuing to save multitudes.
And I will set My throne in
Elam [ancient
Persia]…
Jeremiah 49:38a
Shake
Iran politically and divide their current leadership.
…and will destroy from [
Elam] the king and the princes, says LORD.
Jeremiah 49:38b
Shake
Iran physically and send stronger earthquakes - especially in the areas where they have built their centrifuges and at Bushehr, where their first nuclear plant is being filled. Anoint
Israel's spies inside
Iran to obtain accurate and up-to-date intelligence information. Lord, show us how to pray into the current Middle East situation where now almost every nation wants to have nuclear energy - Egypt, Jordan, even Lebanon, and others.
11. This (Ellul) is the month of repentance for the Jewish people. In September, the Fall Feasts begin.
Your people also shall be all righteous…that I may be glorified.
Isaiah 60:21
Abba, we ask for multitudes of Jews to have the veil removed - that they might become righteous in Messiah Yeshua - so that You might be glorified. We bless You that you have made Yeshua to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Cor. 5:21b) Lord, as many Orthodox attend services every morning this month and listen to the sound of the shofar, open their spiritual eyes to see Messiah Yeshua. Save all remaining Holocaust survivors. Use believers - especially descendents of those who persecuted them - to provoke them to jealousy (Isaiah 60:14). Yeshua, meet with many of
Israel's soldiers as they guard this nation. Touch the youth of this nation. Pluck out a significant remnant for Your holy name's sake.
And the Redeemer shall come to
Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, says LORD. As for Me, this is My covenant with them…My spirit that is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed, says LORD, from now and forever.
Isaiah 59:20-21
Redeem the unsaved loved ones of Messianic Jews.
12. Ramadan for the Muslims continue into September. This is a great time to be praying for the conversion of Muslims through dreams and visions….which are happening in great numbers in the Muslim world. We ask for a harvest of Israeli Arab Muslims. Send workers into the Muslim harvest fields.
The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.
Matt. 9:37-38
Thank You for the work You are doing among many Islamic groups and nations. Increase the ex-Muslim Church exponentially over this Ramadan. Save many Palestinians and turn them into on-fire Christian Zionists! Use Iranian believers to reach out to Iranian Muslims with the good news of Messiah. While Muslims are fasting during the days of Ramadan, reveal Yourself. Walk among the Muslims who go up to the
Temple
Mount today and do all of the ritual prayers. Surprise some of them with an experience of Yourself.
After this I looked, and, behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and families, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palms in their hands. They cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Rev. 7:9-10
