Priority Prayer Focus June 24, 2015

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. 2 Peter 2:4-10

Arrows from Zion Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel

NOTE:  This week the Israeli Ministries have their eyes on the nations and many of the prayer requests revolve around their unique exposure as Israelis to many of the spiritual issues of the nations which often place Israel in the heart of the matters.  Please note that we began by locating those special insights into praying for different nations and international situations in the Praying the Headlines section - not all, but please avail yourselves of important spiritual perspectives that you will not be getting on your nightly news reports.  You will also find another on prayer warfare in the Teaching Articles section.

Revive Israel provides us spiritual perspective and prayer requests on Gaza, Praise, and the Gay Parade an article by Asher Intrater. Mikha'el Kerem gives us insight on the recent Turkish elections and what it means in terms of the Kurds whose democratic party made great gains in the election.  Please pray for the courageous Kurds, who are a blessing in the midst of the radical Islamic cursed entities in the region.
Asher also teaches in a video: Restoration of the Apostolic Commission

Arni and Yonit Klein of Emmaus way write, "Without exception, anyone and everyone we have spoken with in recent days is of the opinion that sooner rather than later something is going to happen that will radically and irreversibly change the world we live in."   This creates a sense of urgency in their vision to " to gather worshipers from the nations to prepare the way of the Lord beginning in the Galilee."

They continue:  "We have mapped out dates for worship gatherings from now until the end of the year.  According to the picture we’ve received, the gatherings are for ten to twelve people for about ten days.  It is necessary for the proper group dynamics that there are enough participants.  The next gathering, being organized from Germany, is scheduled from July 19 – 30.  There is a need for more to sign up."  Read more inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary

Maoz Ministries led by Ari & Shira Sorko-Ram  writes about a flotilla of three ships from Sweden that are soon to be headed to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza.  Why would Israel do that? To halt the free flow of serious weaponry into the hands of the Hamas terrorists that run Gaza.  This entry will give you good insight into the background of the flotilla efforts that are accompanied by major propaganda against Israel at the same time.  Get specific prayer points inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary.

Maoz also writes about their group of 32 Israelis headed to the annual Messianic Jewish Alliance of America conference in Grantham, PA this weekend.  Pray for the Israeli teams attending this conference.

We have written before about the Yad Hashmona Messianic village which is located just outside of Jerusalem and now they have a great new web site where you can explore what they are doing in establishing this community of believers in Israel.  Click on the link above.

The Hebrew congregation in Arad is jumping for joy that the elections for a new mayor broke in their favor instead of in favor of the candidate that promised to continue in the policies of the previous mayor - policies that resulted in an increase of persecution and harassment against the Arad believers by the ultra-Orthodox.  They have more specific prayer points and after all the Arad believers have been through in the past decade and a half, they really would be blessed if you would join with them in agreement.  See more inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary

Update from the Return to Zion Center where Leon Mazin leads the flock in Haifa with this report on their “Eagles-Soldier's-Project” which is "going off well.  We sent a group of our soldiers to Norway for a discipleship course and studies for one month. They finished their army service and we like them to grow in their faith and receive encouragement. Please keep them in prayers and of course if you feel being able to participate in this project financially it will assist us greatly."  These are soldiers who have completed their military service and instead of them going off in unspiritual directions of world travel, this congregation is sending its soldiers to faraway places but with strong spiritual  discipleship to keep them on track with the LORD. 

Mazin also shares about the RTZ ministry assistance to new immigrants and their plans to transform a building near them into a sports club for fellowship and outreach.  Read more inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary

David & Michaella Lazarus of the Beit Immanuel Congregation in Jaffa share about their annual summer focus on families and family events.  These are some great ideas aimed at bringing families closer with shared spiritual activities.  You can read more about the age-appropriate activities they've developed and how you can contact them inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary

And last but not least, Israel Pochtar follows up with a report on the recent Ukrainian Refugee Relief project.  Donations made to this project put much needed supplies to many Jewish families who fled to Israel from the war-torn Ukraine.  Learn more inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary

Urgent HEALING Needs: Life and Death is in the power of the tongue
Please keep in prayer the Israeli believers who are fighting for their lives or other urgent health needs: 

Ruth of the Nahariya Fellowship whose biopsy has determined malignant Lymphoma, cancer of the Lymphatic System.
Please pray for one of the forefathers of the Messianic movement who shall remain nameless, as his health continues to deteriorate. 
Ron Cantor requests prayer for his mother in law whose back surgery was postponed as doctors discovered she heart surgery first. 

Praying the Headlines

Praying the Headlines has two full length articles from two of the top Israeli ministries that comment on news events touching Israel  - inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary. Martin Sarvis gives insight into why we need to pray for the Druze caught up in the Syrian conflict, as well as those in Israel and for Israel as they decide how to act to save this group that are wonderful citizens within Israel.  It is a complicated situation with Sarvis explains simply.  

Also Eddie Santoro gives insight into the spiritual battle that is being fought because of the BDS (Boycott, Disinvestment and Sanctions Movement) - a devilish plan against God's purposes for Israel if there ever was one!  Both men serve in ministry in Jerusalem.

Teaching Articles

Asher Intrater of Revive Israel shares how the "weakness" of worship and intercession is mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds in his teaching on Gaza, Praise, and the Gay Parade  Click this link or read in full inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary

Israeli Ministries on Tours  |  BOOKING meetings now (See open dates)  Inside the attached Weekly Summary are itineraries and open dates for Kobi & Shani Ferguson of Yeshua Israel; David and Karen Davis of Kehilat HaCarmel; and Carolyn & Richard Hyde of Heart of God Ministries

The Israeli Messianic Marketplace  Feature of the Week:Israelprayer is PRIMARILY focused on providing a bridge for the international church to connect meaningfully with the Body of Messiah in Israel.  This has been our vision since the launch in August of 2001 to put our weekly gleanings from the prayer letters of Israeli ministries so that prayer leaders and other individuals that God has stirred with a heart toward Israel could begin to recognize those ministries in Israel who are bringing in the LORD's harvest among Israelis.  Along the way of publishing these prayer letters weekly for 14+years, my own understanding of what God is up to has increased dramatically.

My friend of many years, Eitan Shishkoff of the Tents of Mercy network in the Haifa region, has a book that will help the Church see her calling.  That calling is not just to stand by Israel, but PRIMARILY to stand by the Body of Messiah in Israel.  Eitan's "What About Us?" touches the "surprise role" of the Church in Israel's Salvation.

 Israelprayer highly recommends this book to our subscribers.  The time is upon us for the Church to enter into its active role in God's mysterious plan for "all Israel" to ultimately be saved.  You will greatly benefit from the insight of decades of ministry in God's Word shared here.  Buy it on Amazon
