A quote borrowed from something Bonnie Saul Wilks posted on Facebook today which is a wonderful insight: "Corrie ten Boom said that we see the back of the embroidery work, but God sees the front."
So true. Some situations seem so messy from our perspective but God sees the end from the beginning. What looks like things rolling wildly out of control to us, from His perspective are just the lining up of circumstances to bring about His desired ends. So we pray for deeper trust in the LORD to enter His rest for all of the messy circumstances we are dealing with – sometimes on behalf of others.
“The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the Potter!” Lamentations 4:2

Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel
KEY PRAYER POINTS FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

Thank God for favorable Hebrew media coverage of the Messianic believers last week, and for the opportunity for an Israeli Messianic Jew to present the love of Yeshua to Arab viewers on Al Hayat Christian TV in the Middle East. Pray for the seeds that were planted to produce a glorious harvest.
Pray for wisdom in the Israeli government to deal with the Iranian threat, as well as the announced resumption of negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
In Kings and Chronicles several times when Israel was surrounded – down for the count to all appearances – God would send out circumstances that turned the enemy back without a battle. Perhaps God will remove the threat of Iran through a civil war. However He desires to thwart the evil plots, we pray into agreement that the threat be removed in Yeshua’s name!
There are many great things happening in Israel – at the same time there are many weary saints because the pressure cooker that the Land is. Lift up the arms of the weary, speak refreshing flow of grace would fill their spirits. Pray for vision from on High, where hopes are being suffocated by circumstances.
Pray especially for the young people – even the young believers. It is not the same environment they are dealing with as teens or as believers in the U.S. Hope is the word to speak over their lives – and vision from the Lord for their place in His plans.
Many parents of this generation of Messianic young people made conscious decisions to live sacrificial lives for the Lord’s harvest in Israel. Pray for the Lord to grant vision, grace and heart to the generation stepping into these days. Pray for their hearts to be covered by the shield of faith.
As the High Holy days are soon upon us so are the opportunities of the believers to be a blessing and a testimony to their family, friends and neighbors. There will be many family get-togethers and opportunities to bless the needy. Pray for all these outreaches that people who carry the spirit of Yeshua in their hearts to be a blessing and revelation of His love to Israelis.
Pray for unity in the congregations and families. It seems the strategy of the moment is bringing tension in our close relationships – a divide and conquer mode. Pray for the more mature to ‘make up for’ what the weaker in faith are not equipped to do in making and keeping peace, & forgiving in relationships.
Bless all those Christians who are connected with the Israeli Messianic community during tours to Israel, short term missions, or through exposure to these ministries touring through the nations. Pray for Christians to really catch a vision for the work of the harvest, and not to be simply sidelined into a fascination for Jewishness. The SPIRITUAL vision to be imparted.
Pray for those ministry leaders who are in continuing education – whether for Masters Degree or intensive Hebrew courses – an anointing on their minds to absorb the material.
Pray also for the ministries who are stretching themselves in terms of various new technologies, that God will give them everything they need to tap into every potential avenue for reaching both the unsaved with the gospel and also the support base needed for the ministries.
Many of the ministries in Israel come from nations all over the world where Jews were scattered – Argentina, the former USSR nations, Africa, the nations ‘down under’. Pray for the works they are doing among Israeli citizens from all these nations and for Christians with a burden for that nation of people to awaken to those ministries going on in the Israeli “melting pot” of Jews from the nations.
As summer draws to a close and many of the summer tours of Israeli ministries beginning to wrap up, pray for each of them to return home revived and blessed, ready to begin anew. Whatever it ‘felt like’ on the road, pray that surprising and welcome fruit will come forth in each ministry.
Pray for congregations in transition, for the God appointed leaders to arrive at the right time. Pray for newcomers to be welcomed among family and relationships to gel in the congregational families.
Pray for those in advanced years who have enjoyed the companionship of the believers in their communities, but who have not yet take the step to receive the Lord into their hearts. Pray for God to give them a vulnerable heart, to let down the walls of their heart and welcome Yeshua in.
Life for the Arab Christians in the West Bank and Gaza continues to be dangerous – life is cheap. Pray for the Lord to cover them, protect them, that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and that He will hide them under His wings from those breathing out evil against them.
Pray for strong hearts among those that God has appointed to fulfill even more in their elder years. Thank God for His people who even in elder years still move with a heart to be at work in building His kingdom. This is a blessing and we bless you, Ruth Nessim, for being such a role model of a woman of faith.
