“For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you….Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy; Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.” Isaiah 60:2 and :5
Doesn’t it seem like these are the days? We are continually trying to maintain a balance in what we put forward in these Israelprayer issues from week to week. We refuse to be all happy talk and no reality, but the truth is exactly as the prophet Isaiah said it would be – gross darkness in the people of the world at the same time the glory of the LORD is arising upon His people Israel.
This week, once again, we see the Israeli ministry leaders in the cross hairs of religious opposition, yet the glory of the Lord is upon them and they keep moving forward in the power of His might. Pray for those the Lord is stirring with a heart toward Israel would get more precise understanding of how to express that first to the household of faith.

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

As Daniel put it “…but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” Thank God that despite persecution, God is also granting great favor – the same as Daniel experienced as his influence was rising in the kingdom. Pray for the Israeli ministry leaders standing in this precise position.
While many rabbis plot against the ministries, the congregations and believers in Israel, many Christians align themselves with unsaved rabbis – even turning over their pulpits to them and encouraging their churches to buy their products. I don’t say this in an attitude of finger pointing, but in great anguish for resources diverted away from the Lord’s Israeli harvest. Should this state of affairs not break our hearts?
Continue to pray for the Ortiz family and the upcoming Dec 2nd hearing which it will be determined whether Jack Teitel will even stand trial for murder and attempted murder, or whether he will be excused as mentally unfit to stand trial. This is such a ruse – please pray in the Spirit over this one.
Pray also for the Ortiz family, as they are under the weight also of what his means for the greater community of the faith in Israel if their son’s bomber is allowed to dodge a full court trial and accountability for his religious murder. Grant wisdom and grace to those in persecution.
Thank God for every single person that the Lord has stirred up to stand with the believers in Israel in their trials and in their labor of love in Yeshua’s Israeli harvest. Truly you are the ones of which it was said, I will bless those that bless you!
For years the huge haredi ultra-orthodox population in the Negev has put the believers in Beer Sheva and Arad in the cross hairs for a testing out a model of how far they could go and get away with persecution against believers. The next target apparently is going to be the Yad Hashmona Christian and Messianic community. Pray for this unfolding situation. (Inside Weekly Summary links to 2 news articles).
The Jerusalem Institute of Justice is taking an active role in trying to bring the International Red Cross back to its founder’s original intent and vision of Israel as essential to the survival of the Jewish people. Pray for Calev in this, and in being specifically targeted by the Chabad this in attempts to destroy his influence in the Knesset.
Called by one Beer Sheva pastor “Israel's southern command center,” the HaMaKoM Bible House is a strategic, worthy and struggling ministry in the Negev Desert. Please pray for the young leader of this ministry, for his family, the staff and all the events that are held in this place. They need the windows of heaven to open to them.
Jews didn’t invent family, but the Jews were certainly the first people group that God instructed in how important the family unit was to Him. Pray for the families of all the believers in Israel. Pray for the families of the Arab Christians….and for all those God has, or will place a claim on their lives.
A vision of the Crusader amphitheater in Caesarea filled with people singing the songs of Zion and of the love of Yeshua in Hebrew with all their might was shared by an Israeli pastor this week. It captured our imagination too! Can’t you envision it? It is surely coming! Pray for the Messianic psalmists of Israel.
The Lord has given another Messianic evangelist a vision for a historical movie and he is asking for prayer concerning it – for all to be under the direction, timing and guidance of Heaven. See excellent quality videos at the ministry site

Prayers of Yeshua
by Asher Intrater
Yeshua (Jesus) often taught about prayer. More than that, He prayed. To my count the gospels record 15 instances of Yeshua praying. They are best recorded in the book of Luke. The 15 instances could be divided into three groups: 1) personal preparation, 2) discipleship training, and 3) before and during the crucifixion.
