Many are facing great challenges and it seems we are in the season of great pressure, as that which comes on the cusp of a mighty breakthrough. We shall reap if we faint not. Do not faint but trust God will see us through it all. We are a marked people: marked by the Holy Spirit for His glory.
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 2 Cr 4:1-2

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

The police gag order (news blackout) on the investigation into the murder of Christian Kristine Luken and attempted murder of Messianic Kay Will while hiking outside Beit Shemesh continues. Pray for an awakening among Israeli officials that this cannot be swept under a rug and expected to stay there.
Pray for Kay Wilson as she continues to suffer physical and emotional pain from the stabbing and the death of her friend. Pray for the Comforter to wrap her, and Kristine’s family in a safe place to mourn and be restored.
The tentative hearing to determine whether Jack Teitel is “mentally fit” to stand trial for the attempted murder of Messianic teenager, Ami Ortiz, was again postponed due to the prosecutor’s strike. A new date for the hearing has not been set yet. A new set of lawyers was appointed to handle his case – they are the third set of attorneys defending Teitel. (Pardon our cynicism, but wonder if this isn’t a ploy too).
The next trial date for Eddie Beckford is January 4th – one of several court cases the ultra-Orthodox have leveled against the Beckfords. Pray for God’s favor and also for the Beckford’s who are still under siege by daily ultra-Orthodox protests outside their home.
Israeli ministries are continuing to ask for prayers for the fire-damaged northern region of Israel – both the lives and the land suffered great devastation. One ministry noted the selfless bravery of the fire and police who did not hesitate to go into the inferno. Some lost their lives. Pray for mercy for those families.
Pray for families of the Israeli ministry leaders and believers all over the country. Each have dear family members who do not yet know the Messiah by His Name, Yeshua – salvation, God with us. Some parents are reaching the end days of their lives on earth . Pray they would be translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son.
Pray for Israeli ministries who are taking the gospel to the four corners of the earth. Pray for strength, health and anointing to be with them as they carry the testimony of Yeshua in every place. Grace and fruit multiplied everywhere their feet shall tread.
Thank God for the born again Arab churches in the Land and for the bonds of brotherhood in Messiah they have with their Israeli Messianic Jewish spiritual family. Whenever these former enemies, now spiritual family come together in the Land, there is danger but also a great testimony to the Prince of Peace.
As one Messianic who makes an annual visit into the Palestinian territories to observe Christmas with Arab believers wrote, “It is also an expression of a shared belief that the birth of the Messiah the Lord is significant in a world increasingly being led to ‘dethrone’ Him, just as it also seeks to de-legitimize the Jews and Israel, the nation through whom salvation has come.”
Pray for unity in the congregations that have experienced some division over the past year – always hard on the hearts of the leaders and the sheep. Multiplication is God’s way, division is the devil’s. Pray for God’s way to prevail in all the congregations of Israel – for thriving, healthy replication and unity to rule.
Pray for the softening of hearts to the genuine message of the Torah lived perfectly in the flesh of Yeshua, and by inheritance in our flesh by His abiding Spirit and Presence. So let their lights shine that hope arises in even the most closed off and hardened of hearts.
Thank God for providing new ways for the believers of Arad to meet together for the Word, prayer and fellowship together. Pray for a breakthrough for the congregations in a meeting place to bless all the community of the faith and the people of their city.
The ulta-Orthodox and religious activists are still very active in harassment of the believers – stationed outside the homes of many. Prayer is asked for Menahem, Sion and Avraham who are dedicated in harassing the believers. Pray for a Damascus Road encounter with the living Messiah.
Assured that as he looked over a vast crowd in Nigeria not knowing any one of them, or the heartaches they bore, one Israeli minister was answered by the Spirit of LORD that He DID know each one – specifically and intimately. Pray for the Messiah’s Mandate to bring Israeli teams to minister in Nigeria.
According to a Dec. 26, 2010 poverty update some 5,500 kids have resorted to stealing food over the past year, 2,500 were forced to beg and 5,000 collected food that was thrown away. The elderly population living under the poverty line does not fare much better than the needy children.
Pray for those doing humanitarian aid and all the outreaches of the Israeli ministries to have resources for meeting the needs of their communities. If you don’t know, ministries EVERYwhere are experiencing a downturn. We are like Acts 11 when Agabus spoke of a worldwide famine and the believers “determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea”
Pray for the storefront coffeehouses and other outreaches in Israel. For the seeds planted in those places to bear lasting fruit. Also those who are doing the deep mending work in broken lives. The LORD provides the balm, but He needs the good Samaritans to minister it to the wounded.
Several ministries have set their hearts to play a role in replanting the forest that was burned up in the Carmel fire. Inside the Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli ministries are several stating their visions. You can find out how little it would take to be a part yourself.

Born is the King of Israel
By Asher Intrater
There are several theories as to the date of Yeshua's birth, but there is no solid proof for any of them. In addition, there are many cultural aspects of the celebration of Christmas which are ungodly. Despite those problematic issues, the birth of Messiah into this earth is a watershed moment of human history and biblical revelation.
