There are many serious issues facing Israel, and facing the Body of Messiah in Israel, which is why the word “exceeding” comes to mind.
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I AM your shield, and your exceeding great reward. Genesis 15:1
Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us… Ephesians 3:20
through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature… 2 Peter 1:3-4

This week we begin the prayer points with a subject that led in many of the prayer letters this week: the advertisements that the anti-Messianic activists of Yad L’Achim ran against the believers in two major Israeli newspapers over the last month. (See it here.)
Pray for the plans of these misguided LOST souls to be thwarted - of whom the apostle Shaul/Paul rightly spoke, “Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. “ (Romans 10:1-2)
Pray for the entire Israeli Jewish Body of Messiah to be granted great grace, wisdom and boldness for this battle they are well aware cannot be avoided but must be engaged with the same complete dependence upon direction from Abba that Yeshua Himself demonstrated throughout His ministry.
Pray Acts 4:29-30 which the first century believers also prayed over themselves: "Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Yeshua"
Pray for the many in the Israeli public, press, law enforcement, legal system and government who are watching all these things because they are in the VALLEY OF DECISION. As Joel 3:14 says, Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Pray for the Church in the Nations to awaken to the reality that the clock is again ticking on the Book of Acts, a book that chronicled the opening strains of salvation through Yeshua in Israel for the first 28 chapters and has begun being written again in our generation with the crescendo fulfilling Paul’s prophetic statement “and so all Israel shall be saved as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall tuhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifrn away ungodliness from Jacob.” (Romans 11:26)
MAOZ wrote: “Also, send a message to the Jerusalem Post on behalf of the Messianic Jewish believers and let them know how appalled you are by this hateful and misleading ad. Ask them if they would print the same ad with 'ultra-Orthodox' substituted every time 'Messianic' is used. But also remember to tell thttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhem that you are standing with Israel against her enemies because of your faith in Yeshua the Messiah! “

The other event that received across the board attention from Israeli ministries this week is the upcoming demonstration against the UN Human Right Durban III council coming up in Sept. (Read more details inside the Weekly Summary or here).
The Jerusalem Institute of Justice who are Israeli Messianic attorneys, have produced a video that powerfully breaks down the causes of UN Bias Against Israel. Help us cause this YouTube video to viral by forwarding it to your friends and associates. For more details visit the events website at Durban3nyc.com, join the Facebook group “Boycott Durban III"
Zion’s Glory Ministry writes: In September there are two major international events that are aimed at the delegitimization and criminalization of Israel. The first event is the planned "Durban III" to be held at the UN. headquarters in NYC, September 21…. in order to coincide with the annual opening of the United Nations General Assembly…. The second major event facing Israel in September is the planned declaration of a Palestinian state in the General Assembly of the UN…. A unilateral decision for statehood by the Palestinians would eliminate the need for them to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state…. the establishment of a state which would serve as a launching pad for further military strikes against Israel.
The Santoro’s continue: There is no doubt that the planned outcome of this conference is to once again condemn and delegitimize the very existence of Israel as a Jewish State. But God is mighty, so let's join together and impact history with our prayers. We ask you to please commit yourselves to praying and interceding against this dark event over the coming two months. … Please pray and intercede that this anti-Israel vote would be derailed. We have started to see some resistance coming from several European capitals, the US and other nations. Please pray that God will destroy all of these evil plans.
Thank God for good news from Arad! The judge warned them against not making a plea deal saying they would be sorry, but Eddie replied I cannot bear false witness against myself. The court date finally arrived and the Judge saw through the subterfuge of anti-missionary tales against them, viewed the security video of the actual incident and rendered his verdict that Eddie was NOT GUILTY! Praise God.
Please continue to pray for the Beckford’s who have been under house arrest for 3 years and have two more anti-missionary nuisance lawsuits to go through before house arrest is lifted. Those verdicts could be handed down in Sept – though may delays have prevailed through all the court cases. This was a huge lift of their spirits – pray for the LORD’s encouragement to continue to fight the good fight.
Pray also for an Arad believer who has turned her back on Messiah and wrecked havoc among the believing community, upon her marriage and her family.
In northern Israel there are reports of weddings and baptisms! The family of Yeshua is growing in every way and the need to enlarge their tents is a familiar refrain we are hearing from many Israeli ministries. Pray for the LORD who is causing this growth among the Israeli ministries to send those alongside to help with the expense of the multiplying Body in Israel.
There is a huge number of Russian-speaking believers in Israel, and Return to Zion is one of the ministries that is investing in strengthening them with the Haifa Theological Institute, as well as to train Russian speaking Messianic leaders of the future. Think about this: the Messianic community in Russia is also relatively new, fledgling even. Who will come alongside to help finance the spiritual building up the Russian speaking Body of Messiah in Israel? http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
From the House of Victory which is a rehab ministry under the auspices of the HaCarmel Congregation in Haifa, see a powerful video testimony of a man who was addicted to heroin for so long it looked hopeless even to those who took him in to work with. Many Christians assume the Holy Land is actually holy, but it takes workers ministering in the power of Yeshua to rescue Israelis from all the pitfalls common to man.
Thanks for the prayers for the leader of the Katzir Youth Camp who leg was injured at the start of the gathering. Eitan Shishkoff said he is "Vastly better thanks to all the prayers (and an elastic knee bandage.) Grateful for continued prayer as I prepare for this 3 week plus multi-city journey."
From Howard Bass, a reminder that Israel needs prayer for water – spiritual and natural water upon the Land so the desert may bloom like the Garden of Eden. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Bass wrote an article during the 2008/9 Gaza war as deep divisions between the indigenous Body of Messiah – Jew and Arab – began to surface because of the war. One again those swirling undercurrents are relevant as we seek to become ‘one new man’ in the midst of conflicts. “Yeshua/Jesus/Isua is the only one who can heal these deep, deep wounds of our histories, of God's sovereign will and choices, of our own particular experiences and perceptions of those histories, of our feelings of acceptance or rejection by God the Father Himself.”

The Caspari Media Review shares reader responses in Letters to the Editor of the Mevasert newspaper coverage of the anti-missionary campaign against the leader and 2 members of the Ahavat Yeshua congregation, Asher Intrater of Revive Israel.
Caspari also shares a translated report in Star HaDarom of an article targeting believers meeting in a private home in Ashkelon. The home group is reportedly an older Russian couple and the news story is meant by Yad L’Achim to stir local opposition to them.
David Silver (Out of Zion) writes The Secular Media Sinks to an All Time Low and the biblical injunction, "Therefore consider carefully how you listen."
