Praying in Agreement with the Israeli Body of Messiah
Priority Prayer Focus
________________________________________
Two groups in Israel have been receiving a lot of media coverage recently – the Messianics have received unusually fair-minded coverage – although mostly only in the English editions. The ultra-Orthodox have received much negative press because of involvement in illegal activities or attempting to coerce Israeli society to its religious standards. But as popular Jewish counselor Shmuley Boteach wrote recently in the Jerusalem Post, “Godly is as godly does.”
There is a striking contrast between darkness and light that is becoming strongly evident in Israel. Those who love truth and light will be drawn to it, and those that have not received a love for the truth will seek to persecute those who walk in it. Pray for the distinctions to be clear to Israelis, that they may choose Light.

Ron Cantor writes: Almost every day I ask the Lord to give me favor with believers and unbelievers alike. I begin my day expecting the favor of God. I don’t expect this because I am special or better than anyone else and I certainly don’t deserve it. I expect it because it is promised to those who follow Him – His hand of blessing and favor on my life: “You will be blessed more than any other people.” (Deut. 7:14) “You surround them with your favor as with a shield.” (Ps. 5:11-12) Even in Israel, an environment that can be hostile to believers, we can expect favor. The early believers lived in a far more hostile environment and the book of Acts speaks of them, “praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.” (Acts 2:47) “Moses sought the favor of the Lord,” (Ex. 33:12) we read in the Torah. Let me encourage you to pray for favor, expect favor and enjoy the favor of the Lord.
Pray for the recent graduates of the Revive Israel Discipleship School and for the ministries the blessed by helping in their final week of service: A Tel Aviv outreach ministry to street prostitutes; a food and medical care center for sick, addicted homeless men; a Negev home ministry to orphans.
Pray for the Beer Sheva Kids Camp to exceed expectations and minister deeply to children of believer families.
Praise God for the exciting testimonies of words of knowledge and healings given to those obediently ministering in their communities. Pray for lasting fruit to be borne.
Thank God for establishing new congregations in Israel and causing increase. It is said there are some 120 congregations in Israel…and many other house groups meeting. Fill them each with the power, presence and anointing of God to bring Israelis to faith.
Pray for the summer outreaches on the Mediterranean beaches.
Pray for the continuing connections between Israeli and German believers. This is an ongoing networking of spiritual significance and impact.
Pray for the many outreaches of the congregations operating in Israel – for these to be “fruitful fields”. In these dog days of summer (when even the dogs don’t want to be outside), pray for those ministering – anointing, wisdom and endurance.
Praise God for delivering His children from the snare of the fowlers! An unjust judgment has been broken for one Israeli ministry. Pray for others to be lifted out of unjust entanglements.
Thank God for FAVOR given to Israeli Ministry Leaders and all the Believers in all their endeavors. Thank God for making a way where there is no way – for making straight the paths before them and prospering them in that way. Every need met in Yeshua’s name.
Thank God that He is getting glory from the character and integrity of the believers in Israel – including the recent high school grads about to enter their military service. Bless them and keep them, cause Your countenance to shine upon them and in them.
Strengthen Eddie and Lura Beckford in Arad for the great strain they are under with harassment and injustice. Cause their spirits to be built up and refreshed by Living Waters, give them songs of deliverance and a banquet table in the presence of their enemies.
Help the Beckfords, the Ortiz’, the Bass’, the Figeuras’ and so many others who have been enduring persecutions to lay hold of the treasures of Yeshua’s mind, who for the joy set before Him endured …..”Count it all joy” becomes a reality to those who stand in true persecutions.
Thank God for the laborers in the Lord’s Israeli harvest who are willing to minister among the “unlovely”. Speak blessings of refreshing upon their heads.
Pray for the ultra-Orthodox whose eyes are blinded from true holiness and righteousness. Pray for the scales to fall from their eyes and for a revelation of Yeshua’s salvation to come.
Pray for the healing of eyes – and other physical infirmities touching the Body in Israel.
Continuous drought has Israelis on water restrictions and paying 3 times above the normal cost which raises prices also on all produce. Pray for resources for those household expenses and for rain in the due season coming to be plentiful.
Continue to pray for revival among the Arab people, anointing on all the Arab Christian ministers and believers and protection over them from all plots of the enemy against them.
Congratulations to Dr. Dan Juster who was awarded the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations Lifetime Sacrifice and Service Award on July 25th 2009 in recognition of his visionary and tireless efforts on behalf of the Messianic Jewish movement and as the “human architect” of the UMJC. Dr. Dan is truly an apostolic figure in our times, an “Elder Statesman” in our eyes and most deserving of this honor bestowed by his fellow Messianic Jewish brothers. God bless you, Dan & Patty. - ddiorio
