Arrows from Zion Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel
At the top of almost everyone’s prayer list are the concerns about Iran entering the final stages of developing nuclear weapons. Not far behind that is the threat on nearly every side of potential regional outbreaks of war against Israel. All this and next week the Quartet Quartet – US, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations plans to meet Dec. 14 in Jerusalem in another effort to revive the Israel-Palestinian peace process.
As one Israeli wrote: “We are asking for prayer for wisdom for our leaders and the strength to step back from the brink of war. However, if this is God's will, then for favor to be shown to Israel and its allies and that we all would be kept under the protection of the shadow of His wings.”
Intel reports have confirmed that Iran has suffered to major blows in explosions at nuke plants outside of Tehran and Isfashan. While Iran has protested that these were accidental explosions, few in the real world believe that. There are many tools in non-conventional warfare as Asher Intrater writes about this week – not the least of which is the spiritual warfare that “mobilizes angelic actions, preaching the gospel that changes lives, reconciliation among the saints, dividing the forces of Satan”. Join the battle.
Pray for all the believers who are serving in the IDF and in all dangerous places. Pray for their families who worry over their young who are protecting the nation of Israel. God grant them to be mighty in valor and sensitive to even Your whisper of guidance.
Even
in the midst of great uproar in all the Middle East – in Egypt, Syria, Iraq,
Iran, Pakistan – there is a move of God going on under the radar. It is a mighty weapon of warfare that Muslims
in all these nations may see Yeshua and be saved. Let us not forget to pray for these enemies
of Israel – and for many to come to the knowledge of the Messiah.
We are to have radical faith, but when you see extremism it is sure proof of false religion. Pray for many extremist of Islam to be delivered from captivity of false religion. But pray also for those who are bound in Jewish Israel by false religious extremism to be set free too. Many of us don’t realize Jewish extremism exists in Israel, but it does and the darkness is very dark indeed. Pray for the Light to dawn in many hearts over this season.
Many are sensing the urging of the Spirit to move deeper into our faith and to stir ourselves up on our most holy faith. Pray that during this month which celebrate Light in both the Hanukkah and Christmas celebrations, that we will indeed be drawn into greater realms of His glorious Light and prepared by the knowledge of Him for the race that is set before each of us.
Please pray for the families of each of the ministry leaders in Israel. Like all of us, these leaders have families – fathers, mothers, children, siblings, in-laws, relatives close and relatives estranged. Each one would tell you as they labor in the LORD’s harvest among neighbors and strangers, pouring out their lives to minister in the name and power of Yeshua that their heart’s desire is that their own families would come to know Yeshua and grow up strong in the Spirit. What a heartening encouragement when this becomes a reality! Pray also for those relatives who are at death’s door – that they would enter eternity in faith passing through the Door of the sheep.
Throughout Israel leaders are training the infrastructure of leaders under them. Dan Juster writes this week about the need for strong infrastructure in ministries. Maoz Israel has just completed a Leadership Training Seminar for Israeli congregational leaders. Pray for the Israeli ministries as the Body is building in Israel. Pray for strong relationships to be built in the couples and families who are being raised up to serve.
December is a month that we all receive requests from the ministries we connect with for Year End Giving. All ministries have taken a hit because of the economy, but I would like to encourage each of you to prioritize your year end giving toward Israeli ministries. These are most often the least funded and as Dan Juster writes, their own infrastructure – the expenses of running their ministries – is the least funded of all! Pray about how God would have you bless Israeli ministries this month.
In Carmel, David Davis reports that in the last 20 years they have seen new congregations springing up all over northern Israel. While the northern border is extremely dangerous, that even though “We dwell in the land of the shadow of death, but upon us the true Light is shining brightly among Jewish believers and Arab Christians.” Pray for these congregations to light up the darkness surrounding – and to demonstrate the peace and brotherhood only Yeshua brings.
In the north there are many Druze communities that are being ministered to. In the south there are many Bedouin the desert ministries are reaching. There are Ethiopian refugees finding refuge among the Messianic Jews, and Arab pastors sharing the good news of Yeshua with Jewish women on holidays. Pray for each of these who really stick their necks out to minister to the needy hearts in their paths and communities. This is Yeshua’s love walking again on the paths of Israel.
Karen Davis of the congregation in Carmel is recording her new album, “Songs in the Night.” Shani Ferguson is doing a video for her “Garden of Secrets” album. Pray for both of them to complete their projects with all the excellence in their hearts and for the LORD to use both mightily.
Eddie and Lura Beckford have been enjoying their freedom since Eddie was freed from a 3-year house arrest that came from many false charges against him by ultra-Orthodox persecutors in Arad. Even though the court cases are over, the Beckfords are still dealing with the court costs while also working with the Jerusalem Institute of Justice to secure Eddies permanent residency and citizenship status confirmed. Pray for the finances to wrap up this business.

Even though the court cases are over, the Beckfords are still dealing with the court costs while also working with the Jerusalem Institute of Justice to secure Eddies permanent residency and citizenship status confirmed. Pray for the finances to wrap up this business.
Pray also for the financies to fulfill the Beckford’s vision for a
community center in Arad to host all the area believers who have no meeting places,
but are like spiritual gypsies meeting in houses in bad weather and in the park
in good weather. Even though Arad has
been a hot bed of anti-Messiah persecution for many years there are many
diverse groups of believers in this small city: one Arabic house church, 2
Russian-speaking, a Spanish home group and the Hebrew congregation pastured by
the Figueras. There are also Bedouin
coming to the Lord.
Speaking of the Figueras who have a family of six beautiful children, the local Hasidics continue to persecute the family – recently telling their 15-year old son that they needed to kill him and his father who pastors the Hebrew congregation of Arad. The teenagers who captured the threats by recording with his cell phone told them “I’m a proud Jew and I believe in Jesus.” Wanted posters for several in the congregation are being posted around town, as well as posters urging people to join the weekly demonstrations against Arab believers. See the posters and get the link to the YouTube audio that carries the threats against the Figueras inside the attached Weekly Summary.
Many Christians are surprised when they find out that the Holy Land is not so holy – secular Israelis are as unholy as the rest of the world. It is also a big surprise when Christians find out that many of the religious are not beautifully spiritual people, but downright ugly religionists. Some Christians are fine with knowing the secular Israelis can be ungodly heathen, but many do not want to know the depth of religious ugliness that comes out of the supposedly most pious of Judaism sects. If you can handle the truth, please read the Figueras comments in bold in the attached Weekly Summary – and pray accordingly.
The Silvers in Carmel are asking prayers for the government of Israel and for the IDF soldiers, “Pray for our government to have sharp discernment, courage, clarity and wisdom for all decision making, especially in decisions concerning Iran. Pray Psalm 91 and Psalm 144:1: Blessed be the Lord my Rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. My high tower and deliverer, my shield and the one in whom I take refuge.”

Pray for Israeli ministries who are currently ministering in other nations. Pray for much fruit to come out of the meeting times and easy travels.
Urgent Needs: Life and Death is in the power of the tongue
Please keep
in prayer the Israeli believers who are fighting for their lives against deadly
diseases.
Pray for God’s complete healing of Meir at Maoz Ministries, T. in Carmel, Sofie Benson in Carmel/House of Victory, Ariela in Arad. We also received a request from Tents of Mercy on Saturday for a mother of 4, who unfortunately died Monday evening. Please pray for her family in this tragic time. Her brother, a member at Tents, is the only believer in the family and asks for the salvation of the family. One of the woman’s little daughters also needs to be healed.

Yes and No by Asher Intrater
The nature
of law is no. The nature of promise is yes. We
have to make sure our "yes" is yes, and our "no" is no
(James/Jacob 5:12).The Law instructs us
when to say "no." The Gospel instructs us when to say
"yes." We say "no" to sin and Satan; we say
"yes" to the promises of grace in Yeshua.
