The day before celebrating its 62nd Israel Independence Day which is today, Israel observes Memorial Day – a day to remember the sacrifice of over 22,000 Israeli Soldiers who have died in defense of the nation…. And for the over 1,700 civilian terror victims.
In relation to these two back-to-back major Israeli holidays, I am reminded of Isaiah’s prophecies – first Isaiah 40:1: “Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, says your God.”
Then, Isaiah 62:11-12: “Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes; behold, His reward is with him, and his work before him. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.”

Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel
KEY PRAYER POINTS FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
________________________________________
Israel has fought on average a war for each decade of its existence and not a family in the country is unstained by the blood of war. Pray for people of Israel to receive the comfort that only comes through relationship with our Redeemer –for God’s Salvation, Yeshua, to be seen throughout Israel.
Israel is where natural outworking of “spiritual warfare” is so manifestly perceived in the reality of the natural warfare Israel must wage to survive against its enemies. “It is a true statement that we must fight for liberty and peace.” Lift up the arms of Israel’s soldiers, leaders & people.
As Israel celebrates the Feasts and holidays of the nation, Messianic believers have opportunities to be a testimony of Messiah’s love to their own blood families. They ask intercession for the Lord to remove the scales from the eyes that Yeshua might be seen in the midst of the feast traditions.
Pray for all the ministries going through changes right now in congregational infrastructure – either through changes in staff or in the development of deacons, elder, teaching staff, etc. Speak blessing upon the outreach visions for all those expanding their tents to minister to needy communities.
Next month, the judge will render his judgment in the important Beer Sheva lawsuit that was brought to protect the right of Messianic congregations not to be invaded by mobs. Pray for the verdict to be aligned perfectly with the will of God.
The indigenous ministries of Israel are the ones who are laboring in the Lord’s harvest there – not only among the Jewish people, but also to Arabs – Muslim, Druze, Bedouin. Supernatural visions and dreams are preparing hearts for the gospel. Pray for these new believers, many with callings on their lives.
Israeli ministries are transitioning with young families entering into lead ministry positions, and the elder Baby Boomer-generation releasing more responsibilities to the younger. Pray for all to be beautifully fruitful in every season and stage of their ministry lives. Bless the children & the children’s children.
Pray for Israel’s Pro-Life Ministries, Single Mothers Outreaches, Ministry Houses for Addictions, Homeless Ministries, Terror Victim Humanitarian Aid, Orphans & Widows Outreach. "...inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ Mt 25:40
Pray for the summer camps for the youth of believing families put on by congregations all across Israel. These are important times for the children to be connected with believing peers and built up by the faithful workers who come together to strengthen believing families in the faith.
1 Cor 11:29-30 says, “For this reason – not discerning the Lord’s body - many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.” Pray that the Church who has not discerned the Lord’s body in Israel - our spiritual family in Him – would awaken from this spiritual sleepiness.
As the tourist season in Israel begins to gear up, pray for many more Christians and Messianics to part from the traditional sightseeing tours and hotels, and connect with the local believer congregations. Believer owned hotels, Guest Houses, Bed & Breakfasts exist throughout the Land.
Opportunities abound for those believing tourists to roll up their sleeves and help in the believer communities of Israel. Everything from prayer houses to practical helps ministries. Pray that God will stir many to get off the beaten tourist path and to also to support the Body while in Israel.
Ami continues to amaze doctors who worked on him after the terror attack two years ago as his healing has been beyond their imaginations or expectations. Pray for two upcoming surgeries to exceed expectations and miracles of God to manifest especially on the hearing issues.
Pray for the family as the attacker undergoes EXTENSIVE psychiatric testing to determine if he is psychologically capable of standing trial. To American understanding of this type of testing, this extended testing smacks of being a ploy and a loophole to prosecution of Yaakov Teitel. Pray the Lord guides the court and does not allow this murderer to escape accountability on false insanity claims.
Pray for open doors to the Israeli ministries to new partners and new areas for these ministries to communicate the wonderful things the LORD is doing among them. Open hearts in all the places where the feet of these ministries tread to rejoice in the faithfulness of God for the redemption of Israel.
Bless the fund raising events and the conferences of Israeli ministries, both in the country and in the nations – for strong bonds to be built for the work.
Pray for Israelis as a corruption scandal involving the former ultra-Orthodox mayor of Jerusalem and former PM Olmert has shocked Israelis. Pray according to 1 Tim 2:1-3 for all who are in authority – and that the corrupt be shaken out as those with integrity raised to positions of authority.
Pray for the leaders in the nation of Israel during perilous times – as every time when God was doing something spiritually big in Israel, the enemy did something equally big in the natural to kill Israelis and cut them off from their Divine Destiny. Pray for the enemy to be on God’s SHORT LEASH!
