09 Sep 22 Arrows from Zion

Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel

Priority Prayer Focus
________________________________________

This week I am seeing something as a thread in the Israeli ministries that I have found myself doing time and again when there seemed to be strong opposition bearing down on me: Instead of backing down and giving up, the Spirit within me rose up - pressing forward to expand the previous boundaries.

Pray with Israeli ministries as they respond to what the Spirit is saying to them at this time:

Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, and your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited. “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, and will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.


Arrows from Zion Key Prayer Points
“He ordains His arrows against the persecutors”

Thank God for the unseasonable rain in Israel as Israeli ministries met on 9/20 to worship, repent and pray for “All Israel” to be saved. Like a sign, the heavens opened with soft shower as leaders sang “Pour Out Your Grace like Rain.” Pray for literal and spiritual rains to fall upon the Land.

Pray for the perceived turning point for Israel ministries to shortly come to pass – for Israeli ministries to take their place among the leaders of the international body of Christ; for the Israeli Messianics to become part of the unity of the Body worldwide, for Israel to experience the rain of God in the reign of Messiah in hearts.

Pray for the outpouring of visions God is giving Israeli ministries to “enlarge your tents” – the increase of ministry capacities. Several have spoken of new visions given, others are works already in progress – all are FAITH VISIONS that require response with those who perceive the impact of salvation breaking forth in Israel.

Wanted: Intercessors! Several Israeli ministries have recently requested intercessors to join with them specifically to pray over the details of their visions (Guy Cohen, the Lotan’s and others). Pray for the Body in Israel as a whole, but also follow the leading of the Lord to dig deeper into individual ministry needs.

Ask Abba to bless outreach efforts via internet and web technologies like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter; That the connections will increase and multiply for Israeli ministries.

Thank God for Israeli Messianic Jews ministering to Bedouin and Arab Muslims and Druze with the anointing of the Lord to answer their questions! Thank God for salvations – pray for protection of all these new believers.

Financial lack continues to an issue among MANY Israeli ministries. Speak RELEASE of much needed funds. Many stand in need of a miracle to meet their budgets. Ask the Lord to move on hearts to be a blessing.

Thank God for great testimonies coming out of the Elav youth and young adults conference put on by Succat Hallel a couple of weeks ago. Thank God for the spirit of boldness that is being nurtured in this generation of Israeli believers – and for all the spiritual fathers and mothers who are nurturing it.

Pray for those ministries involved in seeking or renovations to new ministry buildings – for the LORD to give favor to cut through red tape and regulations, and the myriad of issues they must grapple with.

Pray for the sick and the bereaved among the Body in Israel – for grace to be poured out; for covering over all the immune systems of the believers against Swine Flu. Pray for God to heal and raise up those on sick beds.

Pray for those who will be welcoming Christians from the nations during the Fall Festival season – for the conference to be full, for breakthroughs in brotherly bonds between Christians and BELIEVERS in Israel, for God to give increase of revelation among Christians about the spiritual Family Tree in Israel.

Featured Article: Have Christians Betrayed Zion?
Barry Segal Charisma Magazine Friday, 18 September 2009

"…. What is disturbing, though, is the trend among many Christians and some Christian Zionists to sever their relationships with or withhold support from the Messianic Jewish community in Israel for the sake of maintaining ties to political figures or religious leaders. This trend is counterproductive for those of us who desire to see the natural and spiritual redemption of Israel. It is imperative that we stand in prayer and support for our Jewish brothers and sisters in Yeshua."

Praying the Headlines
Pray for the Body of Christ in the United States – one of Israel’s longest standing alliances – to prevail in the spiritual warfare that is going on almost every level for the soul of the nation.

Pray for President Obama to be given a supernatural revelation – like that of Balaam forging ahead in a path the LORD opposed or that of Nebuchadnezzar, who was broken from pride to know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men.
