09 Aug 11 Arrows from Zion

Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel



My apologies - somehow I overlooked getting this uploaded last week.

Priority Prayer Focus

________________________________________

Pray for the contrast between darkness and light to be clearly discerned and the hidden things exposed.
For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:20-21

Arrows from Zion Key Prayer Points

“He ordains His arrows against the persecutors”
________________________________________

Pray for the anointing of praise arising from Israeli worship ministries and blessing upon the recordings whose music cries out before the throne of God for the salvation of Israel.

Join in agreement with the prayers of Israeli believers for their Arab and Persian neighbors to thirst for freedom, Pray for the protection of their church leaders and of the Jewish populations in these nations; and for God to reveal His Son a revelation that no man can put a stop to.

Continue to pray for the discussions among the elders of the Israeli Messianic leaders as to the place of Jewish tradition in the life of believers. Whether the worldwide Messianic movement realizes it or not – the precedent for all will come out of these spiritual determinations in Jslm.

Praise the Lord that He is giving young men visions of Yeshua like He gave the apostle Paul. Pray for these visions to be multiplied among Jews, Arabs, Druze, Bedouin and Persians.

Thank God that He is positioning His servants in places of influence for the days of outpouring which are coming as surely as rain that waters the earth. Pray for favor, anointing and strategic alliances to pave the way for God-given visions to be filled.

Pray that the Messianic Guest Houses and Bed & Breakfasts would continue to be filled throughout the tourist season in Israel. Blessing on those resources and favor in the community & with authorities.

Thank God for conference Josh McDowell brought to the Israeli Arab believers last month and for the response when Christian Arab ministries gave out Bibles, DVDs and other materials: “Many of the people asked us, ‘Is this about Jesus?” and eagerly accepted the materials – hungry for the gospel.

Pray for the Arab Christian churches, for the ministries, for financial resources, for God’s protection, for favor among the people, opening of spiritual eyes and hearts to ‘Isa (Yeshua/Jesus).

Nicodemus was a leader in Israel in the days if Yeshua ‘s earthly ministry. He came to Yeshua in the night to enquire of salvation. There are many Nick at Night’s among the secular and religious Israeli Jews and Arabs. Pray that God would cause their eyes of their hearts to see and embrace the Truth.

Pray for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to have ears to hear the cry for justice in the Ami Ortiz attempted murder by terror bomb case. Pray for Israelis to see the difference between those seeking to force their religious will on others, and those merely desiring to exercise their faith.

Pray for the call to intercessors to come to the Land to pray ahead of the continuation of the Beer Sheva trial (Nov) and the ruling of the Judge in Dec. to be heard by those the Lord wants onsite. Pray for Howard and Randi, their attorneys, the judge and the local leaders – be led forth by the Spirit.

Pray for the Isaiah 2 Initiative, an Israeli Messianic outreach of the gospel to Nigeria. Pray for the teams of young people who will participate who are being prepared for ministry leadership; for all costs to be covered and much fruit to come from this joint evangelistic project.

Continue to pray for the congregations who are either searching for new locations or rehabbing the locations they have found. Favor, wisdom, negotiating skills and the mind of the Lord for every step.

Pray for those Messianic Jewish attorneys who are laboring in social justice law, as well as Israeli freedom of religion and civil rights law. It may surprise many Christians but in Israel, it is the religious who pose the greatest threat to religious freedoms, civil rights and social justice. Pray Daniel’s anointing!

Anti-missionary groups are becoming more aggressive in monitoring the communications of Israeli believers and those who support them. Pray that no weapon formed against the believes shall prosper and every tongue that rises in condemnation of them be null and voided.

As anti-missionary groups work against Messianic Jewish believers whom they consider more dangerous than “Hamas” those tied to them in religious convictions continue to aggressively seek to win over the Orthodox and young people to more extreme ultra-Orthodox viewpoints. Pray many will be set free.

Speak peace between Israel’s Arabs and Jews. There is a peace only attainable as the Prince of Peace abides in our hearts, but there is also a peace God can give for the work of the ministry to be forwarded among men. Speak both on the peoples of Israel and in the Palestinian-controlled lands.
