There is a Reason for the Season – It is None Other than the Birth of our true Gift.
Thanks to Jacob Damkani for sending this poignant and keenly insightful cartoon.



Asher Intrater: "The first chapter of the New Testament traces the preservation of the seed of promise from Abraham through David unto Yeshua (Jesus). Orthodox Jewish women today, still waiting for the coming of Messiah, desire to have as many male children as possible, in the hopes that one of them might be the Messiah.

"In many ways, the hopes of all Jewish women were fulfilled two thousand years ago, when Miriam (Mary), a young virgin of the house of David, gave birth in a manger outside Bethlehem.

"While we don't know the exact date, and while the commercialization of Christmas has become an anathema, the birth of the Messiah should be one of the greatest of all Jewish holidays. On that day our people fulfilled our covenant destiny to preserve the seed of redemption on behalf of the human race.
- from The Seed of Promise Dec 20 2009

Praise the Lord for the increase of our spiritual family over the past year with new believers, new babies, new engagements and weddings, new anniversary milestones – we have been blessed in this generation of believers in Israel. May the blessings continue to increase on all your families.

Remember that the Jewish people who gave us this wonderful gift of our Savior – though they are still living in darkness and cut off from Yeshua. “Even so have these also now (then) not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.”

Thank God that we do not have to go by what things look like in order to have assurance for God’s purposes. Continue to pray for those being persecuted in Israel for the faith – for grace, and the clear favor of God’s presence to be upon each and every one of them for a witness of true Love.

Thank God for the release of provision which has been diverted to tributaries in Israel other than the natural River bed that flows to those with the life of Yeshua in their hearts and the vision of God in their eyes. Pray for the man-diverted streams to return to the natural River flow so every true vision is fulfilled – resources to begin to overflow their banks.

“A New Thing in the Body in Israel” wrote the Kliens “UNITY AMONG LEADERSHIP” wrote the Sorko-Rams – both speaking of a new level of the working of the Holy Spirit among the ministry leadership of Israel. Thank God for joining us to them in prayer for the work only He can work.

Stretching out the tent pegs in ministry housing and outreach continues to be a priority into the new year. Pray for release of funding and favor for each project to be completed and paid for.

The congregation in Netanya appears to be in the sights of enemy with critical spirits of infirmity attacking many congregants. Please join in agreement for the healing of Yeshua to flow to a congregation being overwhelmed with urgent health issues.

Thank God for the evangelists of Israel – those Israeli men and women whose hearts burn with the declaration of the Good News for the Jewish people and for the Arab men and women whose hearts also burn with the Good News for the Palestinian people. For the Druze, the Bedouin, the lost Gentiles.

Thank God for Israeli Ministries with a global vision “For out of Zion shall go forth the torah, and the WORD of the LORD from Jerusalem.”

Thank God for the Christians and Messianic believers around the world who prefer their spiritual brothers to distribute humanitarian aid and other forms of blessing the people of Israel who have not yet come to the Light of Life, Yeshua. Thank God for the revelation they have – so those groping in darkness might be blessed in the Name of Jesus – and not just in the name of good hearted men.

Thank God for touching former President Jimmy Carter’s heart to offer an apology to Israel for his many harsh criticism. Thank God that He granted Carter repentance before the day of his passing from this life, that Carter might get his heart right spiritually. May this surprising turnaround be repeated in millions of hearts across the world.

“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it….That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.” John 1:4-5,9

Whether we celebrate the Feast of Dedication or Christmas, if we are in Messiah let us pray for the Light to shine into the dark places of our family members, friends and community who have not yet seen His Light which is able to grant Life.

One would have to be spiritually blind not to see the encroaching darkness in the world, even as we celebrate in these end of the year holidays, our spirits are crying, “Where to from here, Lord?” Pray the Lord will impart vision for the coming year and our hearts will be open to hear His smallest whisper.

Ask for a revealing of Yeshua upon the nation of Israel – both to Jews and Arabs. Ask for greater light to shine into the hearts of those who already know the Lord, greater revealing of the Love that is ours in Him – the Truth that sets us free, setting at liberty the captives.

Pray blessing upon the fresh, upfront and spiritually mature evangelism going forward in Israel. There is an anointing to speak to Israelis (Gal 2:8) that “works effectually”. Pray it would be “mighty” in these going forth in Israel not only in word but in power.

Thank God for the working of ALL things to good in the case of the religious terror attack on Ami Ortiz. As the trial is set to unfold we pray that all hidden schemes of man against the righteous will be exposed and the truth will prevail….that many eyes will see and be enlightened. Grace for Ami & his parents.

Thank God for the fruit of Messianic outreaches going on in the nations. Also, that the LORD for the much maturing fruit in the ministry of Israeli believing youth and young adults.

There is a fire of extremism that is flaring up in the religious-nationalist camp. Pray for these men and women who are radicalizing in the model of the apostle Paul before the Messiah was revealed to him on the road to Damascus in pursuit of believers to persecute.

Thank God for His hand over the hearts of believers – in the physical and spiritual sense – to bring them into the good He has planned for them; into their hopes and their future according to all in His mind.

Thank God that no matter what evil or calamity that comes upon us, God is well able to get the glory out of our lives in the end. No weapon formed against us shall prosper and every condemning tongue we declare impotent to fulfill its mission.

Open doors! Open doors! Thank God He is opening doors that no man can shut, and closing doors that no man can open. For “…The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea” (Isaiah 11:9).

Speak blessing upon the heads of Israeli Jews and Arabs who labor together in brotherly love for the sake of the gospel. Pray for blessing to be released to those who will release blessing into the hidden ministries who must remain nameless and unknown for safety reasons.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Thank God that He puts our tears in a bottle – He knows them.

“He ordains His arrows against the persecutors”
________________________________________

As you prepare this month for the celebration of the birth of the Jewish Messiah, will you also cry out for the Jewish people who do not yet know Him, who is “the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world”

As Jews everywhere are commemorating the Feast of Dedication, it is an opportune time for the Light to click on in Jewish spiritual eyes. Pray for the Lord to continue to reveal Himself and pour out His Holy Oil. Pray for Divine appointments and for seed planted to burst forth in growth.

Pray for Leah, David and Ami Ortiz as the first court date facing the confessed bomber will happen tomorrow, Dec 9th. This is only the beginning of a long process. Pray for grace and the Lord’s prevailing will.

Pray for covering over all the believers – especially those who are currently targeted by persecutors. The Levine family in Beit She’an could use your prayers as the ultra-Orthodox community has been stirred against them with a 2nd arson attack on their vehicle.

Pray for those who make themselves enemies of Yeshua by persecuting the brothers of Yeshua. Paul was such a man, but God revealed Yeshua to him – Paul got a revelation of God’s love and it was Yeshua. Pray for the persecutors of this day to be shown the height, width, depth and breadth of true Love.

Pray for the attorneys who are representing the many cases of believers. This are important platforms for speaking to the Israeli people – what is being weighed in the courts is making the point of the contrast between darkness and light.

Pray for the people of Gaza to see a great Light and be delivered out of the darkness which is Islam.

Pray also for the lions of God – the evangelists and ministers who preach the gospel in greatly dangerous places…some even losing their lives to do so.

Join together to lift up those believers in Israel who have been afflicted with illnesses – some unknown, some medically manageable, and some threatening to swallow up life. Healing go forth in the authority of Yeshua. By His stripes we were healed.

In everything they do and everywhere they go, we ask the Lord to cause fruit to continually be in bloom and favor to dog their steps. At every turn Divine guidance to light the path ahead and for the presence of the Lord to be heavy upon them .

Thank God for what He is doing between Israeli believers and German Christians – it is a ‘secret weapon’ in Yeshua’s arsenal like what He is doing between Israeli Jewish believers and Palestinian Arab Christians.

Pray blessing upon the Israeli outreaches currently going on in Goa, India and in Gombi, Nigeria. For God to show Himself mighty with these.

Thank God for all the release of provision into the Israeli ministries – may every need be met. Every monthly budget and vision fulfilled.

Thank you Lord for Your Yeshua – Your Salvation.

Who is more blessed than the one in a position to give and does? "And remember the words of the Lord Yeshua, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

The arrest of the religious-nationalist Jewish terrorist who has confessed to attempted murder of a Messianic Jewish teen is a victory in this battle – but now believers in different parts of Israel are receiving terrible and explicit death threats. PRAY NO WEAPON formed against them shall prosper!

“Please begin to pray for this trial, and I ask especially for prayer for Ami. Ami has to process what is going on in his own heart and mind concerning the man who intentionally inflicted such harm on his person, with the explicit intent to murder our family.”

Intercede for the Body in Israel who are as beacon lights demonstrating the contrast between true light and true darkness. Pray for their story to be told right and honestly in the media, the courts and in the greater community of faith in Yeshua Jesus worldwide. The time to favor them has come Church!

Yeshua said: "On this rock I will build my kehila and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” The word translated “church” in our Bibles actually means both “congregation” and “community.” Pray for all parts of the Body to receive a sense of and embrace the greater community of faith we are.

Please pray for the multiple language congregations of Israel. The U.S. is known as the “melting pot” and no other nation but Israel is as much a melting pot as us! Pray for real community to be the reality of congregations often separated in a practical sense by language barriers. No barriers to kinship.

Pray for the national Messianic Chanuka Youth Conference, Arise and Build DEC 13-15 – for hearts eager to deepen their relationships with God.

“You will be like a faucet, flowing with spiritual authority here …. You will see new things, there will be healings, and a spiritual releasing - breaking curses from the past occupying nations” We stand in agreement with this word spoken over Pastor Hani of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Akko and agree that it is indeed a word for all the ministering leaders in Israel.

The enemy was stirred up after the above word was spoken over Pastor Hani, so afterward one of the congregants was attacked by a delusional man who stabbed him in the chest and chin – We agree for healing and for unshakable faith in the word of the Lord.

Pray for new opportunities to speak in the U.S. and other nations would be opened to both the Jewish and Arab pastors in Israel – that they might be given opportunity to share how the Lord is moving in the Holy Land to raise up a truly holy people united in His Messiah.

Pray for the young Israelis who will be ministering in Nigeria next week – for God to meet the people in a mighty way so His presence changes the lives of all concerned forever. Seasonal dust storms can be a threat to flying – pray the Lord will be Lord over all the weather conditions in this ministry trip.

Speak for Grace, Anointing and Favor to be upon all those who are discipling and mentoring the future leaders of congregations, ministries, outreaches and all spheres of influence for the gospel of the kingdom to advance in Israel.

Thank God for the release of finances to all the pressing needs – including meeting monthly budgets much less the over and above needs – for all the ministries. Favor, spirit of generosity to bless those in Israel who are a blessing in the Name above all names – Yeshua.

Pray for the wisdom of Israel’s Prime Minister and other leaders who are charged with guiding the affairs of the nation. Pray also for those with no respect for the authority of the elected government to be reigned in and not to act as a law unto themselves.

Thanks be to God for the young adults who are emerging in ministry leadership positions as a new generation is taking its place spiritually; and thank God for all the young people serving in defense positions of service. May the protection of the Lord be upon them all.
