KEY PRAYER POINTS FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

Many thanks to all of you who have been like angels of mercy in response to my request for prayers for our grandson, Karl Dunlop. Just after midnight as Friday became Saturday, Karl’s car was rear ended as his car was coasting out of gas toward the exit ramp of the tollway. He has not regained consciousness and has suffered severe brain trauma. Later in the same day Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head and she also has been in a coma since. Saturday was also the 5 year anniversary date of Ariel Sharon lapsing into a coma. All these brain traumas are completely different, and each have different odds of recovery…but God. We so appreciate your prayers for Karl and encourage you to pray also for God’s healing and complete restoration of Gabrielle Giffords and Ariel Sharon. Thank you for covering the families who are hoping for the best for their loved one. Pray that while in the coma state, the Presence of God is revealing His great love to each one of these who do not yet know Yeshua.

Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel
KEY PRAYER POINTS FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
________________________________________
Saturday Jan 8th marked the 5th year that former Israeli PM Ariel Sharon lay in a coma after a stroke. His name, Ariel, means lion of God, and Sharon who served Israel in that capacity - like a warrior lion - throughout his life seems almost symbolic of the nation, alive but not spiritually aware. Pray for Ariel Sharon to awaken: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Messiah will give you light."
Pray also for the daughter of an Israeli ministry recovering from surgery removing her spleen, 2/3rds of her pancreas and a 4-inch growth that is being biopsied. She also needs to know the Lord’s great salvation spiritually. Like an anchor of the soul in the storm tossed seas of life, pray also for those who are standing with the Word of Lord for her in times of desperate need.
Pray for the big visions of Israeli ministries – visions that are for serving the people who have come into the community of faith seeking to grow in the knowledge of the Lord and training their children in the ways of the LORD Yeshua. Pray for the God to make a way for the dreams and visions of God to be established in the Land.
Many of the big visions of Israeli ministries are for the smallest people – the children. Peer pressures are especially acute in Israeli schools for believers because there are so few believers. Children often attend schools where there are NO other believers. For this reason, schools and special ministry focus for children and teens is a major vision among the shepherds of Israel.
Pray for the many good seeds that were planted in India by Israeli ministries to bear much fruit in the days ahead. Partnering with Indian ministers, a nation that has been bound in great darkness eagerly received the ministry of the gospel out of Zion by Jewish believers. God is doing a powerful work in the East.
God is also blessing the ministry of Al Hayat Television in the Arab world. Last week as an evangelistic Christmas program was broadcast from Nazareth, before the program finished playing they had already received 1,000 email responses. The voices that say the Arab nations are only blood thirsty are wrong! They are also hungry for the LORD. Speak blessings upon the ministry of Al Hayat TV.
Each day at noon is an appointed time to cry out, “Lord, Help Israel!” It is the new prayer initiative of a Tel Aviv ministry asking for believers to raise your voice wherever you are at noon in your time zone to ask God to deliever Israel, according to Ps 107, “They [Israel] cried out, ‘Lord, help’ and the Lord delivered them out of their distress.
In times of sadness and in times of gladness, we are the living epistles, the living letters of Yeshua’s love to our families and other loved ones in our lives. It is not what we say so much, but who we are. Pray for all those who are standing steady so those in need around them might draw from the strength and complete trust in the Lord. For I know the thoughts I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jer. 29:11)
Pray for open hearts – hearts prepared by the Spirit to receive the revelation of Yeshua Messiah. These may come in times of celebration as well as in times of desperation – the LORD knows our frame and how to turn our lives from the futile paths to the path to LIFE.
We have been entrusted with a mission by the Messiah, not only to bring word of the Light to our world, but also to be the Salt in the midst of unjust societies. “Hate evil, love good, And establish justice in the gate.” Pray for those standing before unjust judges – speaking the justice of the Supreme Court of the LORD over their cases.

Iran Escalates Attacks on Christians
By Paul Marshall January 10, 2011 11:56 A.M. NRO The Corner
Asher Intrater on the retirement of a Mossad Chief who “probably did more than any other human being this decade to stop terrorism.”
Asher also discusses Anti-Semitism and Anti-Christ. “Around the world today, there is a rise of both anti-Christ and anti-Semitic spirits. Large numbers of Christians are persecuted or murdered every day. Western liberal society rejects Christians for being too religious; and then justifies radical Islam out of "political correctness." Radical Islam is the greatest perpetrator of crimes against both Jews and Christians.”
