Psalm 51:6 “True, I was born guilty, was a sinner from the moment my mother conceived me. Still, You want truth in the inner person; so make me know wisdom in my inmost heart.” Jewish Complete Bible version
If you are harboring secrets, you might think about coming clean. It occurs to me that this massive WikiLeaks disclosure of things that were spoken in secret being shouted from the rooftops may be a warning of things to come. 1 Cor 15:46 gives the spiritual principle: "The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual." The warning is Come clean; do not wait to be exposed.
The one, and perhaps only, bright spot in the WikiLeaks disclosure of U.S. classified material, is that Israel is vindicated over and over by the disclosures. It will ultimately not change the tide international hypocrisy in dealings with Israel, but very clearly the hypocrisy is exposed and Israel vindicated.
Any who have stood in a place where they looked guilty to others – say like Joseph in prison – may be looking at a season of vindication. Also, those who have been secretly guilty may find themselves suddenly exposed. Time to get right. There is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed.

The online-focused Israeli OneForIsrael.org ministry has launched a prayer initiative asking for believers worldwide to sign up for one 15-minute segment each week until they reach a 24/7 wall of prayer going up for Israel. Easy to sign up and chose your time frame here
Pray for Richard Frieden’s ministry as he is in the cross-hairs of several anti-missionary activist groups and websites. Ministries with natural appeal to the youthful generation are especially vulnerable to attack because of the Israeli law against evangelizing anyone under the age of 18.
There is not enough religious freedom in Israel – that’s what 80% of the secular Israelis say, while 91% of the ultra-Orthodox think the government is too pluralistic. Guess what, those who exercise faith in Yeshua as Messiah are more in agreement with the seculars than the religious on this issue! Why? Too many of the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) want to impose their beliefs on the rest of Israel.
Thank God the house arrest on Eddie Beckford has been relaxed a bit and they are able to go outside Arad any time and for as long as he wants. Inside Arad he must be accompanied by a court-approved bondsperson and cannot visit the King’s Men chess club/Bible shop – 2 yrs 9 mos since he last visited the shop. Dec 8th is their next trial date and several cases have been folded together. Please pray.
While Israeli rabbis are out en force to pray for rain, the cry we heard this week from the Israeli ministry leaders was for prayers to be made for repentance – knowing the blessing of rain will follow. Let us pray for the latter rain – spiritual and natural – to come from Heaven.
Pray for IDF soldiers, new inductees and especially for those of the faith. Pray for those new believers who are disowned by natural families because of their faith, as well as those who have been estranged for a long time – that they be given grace to enter God’s rest and grow continually in Yeshua.
Pray again for the prodigals who have known the Lord and walked away from the faith. Pray for the hearts of the parents to enter God’s rest and for the Holy Spirit to exercise His claim on the hearts of these children, drawing, convicting, pressing into the corner until each returns to his senses.
Pray for those involved in Messianic or Christian media in relating to the worldwide Body what is happening in the Body in Israel, to be scrupulous and honorable in how and what they communicate. Pray for those who have not been those things to repent of misrepresentations and shady slanting of facts. This is an evil in the secular world of journalism – it should not be named among us.
Two things are happening in the Arab and Persian nations – (1) Christians are being persecuted horribly, and (2) God is revealing Yeshua to men, women and entire families. Thank God that He is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh! “That man” is the Prince of Peace.
While we rejoice in the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, we agree with the brother this week who wrote to take heed not to be deceived with the manifestation of gifts, signs, and wonders, while the character of the Lamb is absent. It is the likeness of Yeshua we cannot do without. Pray we would all seek His face, not just His hand.
As trouble in the nations continues to increase, so does the openness to Messianic ministry increase. Pray for the Israeli brothers & sisters who are going forth in the nations not just to ‘preach Israel’ but to strengthen the awareness and bonds of one new man in Messiah. Grace, favor & revelation.
Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights celebrated by Yeshua in John 10:22. Christmas is the holiday that is the traditional Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus. Do you think God is mad when either of these holidays is observed? Since He sees the motives of the heart it is highly unlikely. Some of us need to get a life and drop our aggressive chewing on each other over these things. Pray we do and Yeshua is honored in both holidays among believers.
The reason for the season is Yeshua and He is blessed when we bless those who do not have much blessing in their lives. There are many good believer ministries in Israel that would welcome your gifts for outreach to the needy in their congregations and in their community. Some needs are mentioned in the attached Weekly Summary or you can write me for other suggestions at donna@israelprayer.com
