Priority Prayer Focus
________________________________________
With as much chaos and uncertainty that is swirling in our world today – both in Israel and in the nations – we all have a great need for our security to be firmly planted in trusting the LORD. No matter what lies ahead, we reside in the spiritual “land of Goshen” with the Blood of the Lamb of God on the doorposts of our hearts.
Pray for all of the parts of the Body of Messiah in all parts of the world to lift up their eyes toward Yeshua and trust in the God who has brought us out of our spiritual Egypts and planted us at entrance of the Promised Land – that we will overcome and possess the our land.

Continue to pray for the One New Man reconciliation of the Jewish and Gentile parts of the Body to Messiah – in spirit and in truth. One of the manifestations of that oneness is the acceptance of the other in the uniqueness of God’s calling upon them, similar in nature to man and woman in Him – distinctively different, yet spiritually equal.
One of the manifestations that One New Man reconciliation is occurring is evident during the holy-day seasons – when both sides respect the observance and hallowing of our Savior. Pray for a new level of respect to emerge between the Jewish and Gentile parts of the Body of Messiah.
For many Christians, the Passover is a prophetic picture that has already been fulfilled and has therefore no more usefulness. But for the Jewish people the Passover prophetic picture is just beginning to speak to eyes and ears that are being spiritually opened by God to see His Son. This makes Passover a NOW WORD of PROPHECY!
Pray for the opening of eyes and ears throughout Israel as the Father is giving Israel a heart to discern His Son. It may not look like anything has changed – but things have changed! There is a new openness to the Truth of Yeshua that is releasing new life. Pray for those hearts being prepared now to receive the Truth.
What happens in Israel, doesn’t stay in Israel. It is a spiritual truth that the things Israel has had to battle for its very existence, eventually becomes the battle we all begin to experience along with them. Example: The fight against Islamist terrorism. Mosques, Minarets & Military Academies, from a ministry in Samaria shares an insight into the multiplying of mosques and minarets – what is being cloaked under the façades of house of worship.
For the Israeli ministries, the Passover season is a busy time indeed with all the usual holiday preparations, 3 weeks of kids out of school and part of the time in spiritual camps, plus many Christian visitors from all over the world. Pray for this time to be fruitful, and spiritually restorative. For every believer to in the place that they are standing under God’s full blessing in every realm of life.
For those that are experiencing upheaval and/or lack – for those who are experiencing the ‘pinch’ of the fellowship of His sufferings: These fiery trials are not a strange thing, but rather “as you are partakers of Messiah's sufferings” it is for the purpose of His glory being revealed in your life. The “spirit of glory and of God rests upon you!” Don’t look to the left or the right for He is bringing you to another level of glory.
Pray for those who need new places to live and those who need new income sources; pray for increase in income sources for individual believers and so for increase in ministry resources. Some ministries have been forced to shutter doors on valuable works among the Israeli Body. Pray for the Lord to move with provision for the visions.
Another ministry friend who is a highly valuable support to many of the Israeli ministries was robbed during Passover – the house broken into and all valuables (computers, phones, cash, jewelry, etc.) made off with. Pray for the thief to be caught and the restoration of losses to be 7-fold! Restoration of security system and sense of security that was violated by the home robbery.
Pray for those who are doing translations of Christian books into Hebrew for the care of believers in congregations all over Israel. This is a work that is a great ministry to the spiritual health of believers in Israel, as well as a source of income to individuals who are engaged in smaller ministry works in Israel. Pray for God’s blessing on all involved and much fruit to be borne.
All over Israel the Messianic congregations reached out in their communities to the poor and needy to provide Passover food vouchers for groceries to Holocaust survivors, lone soldiers, single moms, handicapped individuals and the underprivileged. In the Name of Yeshua the blessings flowed.
We continue to hear from Israel ministries that are either in Japan or have been recently – clearly God is doing something in this connection at this time. The Israeli Messianic ministries continue to hold a vision for becoming a blessing to the nations. Pray for this connection between Israeli Messianics & Japanese believers to bear fruit and multiply. Pray for a spiritual awakening in Japan.
Building projects continue for several Israeli ministries – the need is acute. Pray that God will stir investment in building the kingdom of His Son in Israel through helping Israeli pastors raise up much needed congregational infrastructures.
In different parts of the country, ministry leaders are experiencing both the favor of God among men and also the persecution of the Name of Yeshua – simultaneously! Pray for those who are finding their excellence brings them favor and backlash as their serve in their communities.
Thank God for the abundant spring rains that have fallen this year in Israel. The Land is bursting with color – thanks to the showers from Heaven. Thank you, Abba!
One Israeli ministry asks that we pray for the window of opportunity that has opened throughout the Middle East as nation after nation has been rocked with unrest and demands for regime change. In the chaos, only the LORD can truly answer to cry of hearts to be free – Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
Bless the many congregations in Israel who hold joint services with neighboring Arab congregations, and for hearts to show brotherly love one to another. The witness of these gatherings is the sure sign of Yeshua walking in their midst to heal and reconcile former enemies. Thank you LORD!
Pray for Israelis living in the south to be protected from missiles being fired from Gaza. There is never a time that Israel can relax from a ready-for-war mode, but with the unrest throughout the Middle East, there are many factions on all sides ready to vent their hostile desires on the people of Israel. Pray for God’s restraining and protective hand. Pray for wisdom in Israel’s government & security forces.
One humanitarian group that is operated by a Messianic believer reports that they have been able to increase their outreach to the needy in a city hard hit by Gaza missiles. They are also keeping their “Family Bomb-Shelter Project” in high priority distributing shelter boxes.
Pray about where to invest your generosity towards Israel – there is no type of ministry that indigenous believers are not doing among their communities.
Happy 3,323rd Birthday to the People of Israel!

Bloodshed in Syria By Asher Intrater
As the international diplomatic community continues to pressure Israel to make concessions, Netanyahu's government rightly argues that any agreement under the current circumstances will not be valid because further Islamic uprisings would simply nullify the terms of the treaty.
Third Intifada? By Asher Intrater
Among the Palestinians, certain groups connected with Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been calling for a Third Intifada against Israel, starting on May 15….(one of the leaders) thinks that an intifada probably could not take place before September.
