Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight. With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks. For You will light my lamp; The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. Ps 18:24-28
Pray for Israel to connect the spiritual dots between how a blameless, merciful, pure and humble minority in their midst is targeted unfairly and barely protected against persecution, and how that same set of circumstances is being played out on the world stage against Israel.
“With the pure You will show Yourself pure.” Yeshua said to Israel, You will not see Me again until you say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Who is the “he that comes in the name” in this verse if not His Body in the earth? He is the Head, but we are the feet of them that bring good news.

The hypocrisy of nations is never demonstrated more blatantly as when Israel is internationally condemned for effective defenses countering the wrath of radical Islam for the very existence of the Jewish state. No other issue among the nations repeatedly results in darkness being championed over good among the nations.
Pray for those who are deceived by the ferocity of Muslim indignation to be set free to SEE the honest facts. Pray for those held by deceiving spirits to be broken free in Light.
Pray for Israelis and all Jews who are emotionally beaten up by generations of facing what is to them an inexplicable force of hatred for the Jewish people. We know it is the enemy trying to swallow them up before God can demonstrate His glory within them – so pray for them as if for the fatherless and the orphan. You play a critical part in their rescue and ultimate triumph in Messiah Yeshua.
When a person is abused, mistreated and wounded, in time these also become abusers who wound and mistreat others. Pray for the cycle of prejudice and wrath to be broken in the lives of this generation in Israel. Pray for true justice to be upheld in Israeli courts and law enforcement, and society.
Pray FOR those leaders in the Israeli ministries, who seek to please the Lord more than the people, and who walk in integrity before God, and boldness in the Holy Spirit to make a stand. Pray FOR Howard Bass and all the congregations in Israel who through the lack of uprightness of a court ruling have been made more vulnerable to persecution by groups that exist for that very purpose.
Cover all the ministries in Israel for protection against harm – also lifting up the coming return to court of Jack Teitel who has confessed to the murder of Palestinians and the attempted murder of Ami Ortiz. With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. Ps 18:26
Pray for the Israelis and Germans who are coming together in the Name of the LORD to prevail against gates of hell set up over regions of nazi strongholds. Pray for a powerful anointing to go forth for a release of generations held captive by hell in mental strongholds and all the accompanying torments. Great release resulting in abiding fruit!
Pray for those Israelis participating in the German events beginning next week – for healing to spring forth quickly and opposition of enemy forces to be broken. The gates of hell shall NOT prevail.
Thank God for sparing our sister Ruth in Nahariya who suffered a massive heart attack in May. Thank God for Pastor Najeeb who recognized the signs of her distress and got her to ER. PS 118:7 says, “The LORD is for me among those who help me.”
Thank God that even out of daily, up close and personal harassment for 7+ years running, a pastor’s family in Arad reports two people from the community – one Orthodox onlooker and one person who participated in doing wrong to the believers stepped out to apologize and ask forgiveness. Praise God for light banishing darkness.
Thank God for the ministry and experience of Israelis who recently went to minister in the Ukraine. Pray for a hundred fold reproduction of fruit in the lives of the young Israelis and in the lives of those in many former USSR cities who responded to the beckoning call of Yeshua. Pray for the pastors in those cities to be blessed as they minister in places where KGB spy on congregations.
Pray for healing to go out over the Body in Israel as many are struggling with health issues, some mysterious viruses, some threatening yet to be born life in the womb. Pray for mighty signs of healing to be released in the name which EVERY KNEE must bow – YESHUA.
Ask for blessing upon those Israelis traveling in the nations, for the favor of God and man to be upon them; and for the hearts of the people to be opened to the visions for reaching the lost of in Israel – whether of the Tribe, the Cousins, the Druze, Bedouin or any number of peoples in the Land.
Pray for the leaders in Israel as they contemplate the next step in the case of the Beer Sheva congregation – whether to appeal the lower court ruling. No one was hurt & no one died; but the truth was hurt and a little more justice died in Israel for followers of Yeshua. Please keep this in prayer.
Pray for those tours of Israel conducted by believers who are purposing to connect with the Body in Israel, to raise awareness among Christians that there is a vital, growing Body of believers in the Land again – more than at any time in history since Jesus Himself walked there. Pray more groups follow suit to open eyes to the marvelous thing the Holy Spirit is doing even the fulfilling of EZ 37:14.

Jewish Roots: Reverse Responsibility
by Asher Intrater
“The Messianic Jewish movement is called to be a source of holiness, purity, integrity, faithfulness, dedication, humility, and honesty to the international Church. Instead we have too often just given excuses for being carnal; we have let our traditions cover up for a lack of holiness. Let us take up our mantle to restore moral values and purity of motives to the greater community of faith, instead of peddling the ministry. Let us become a sanctifying influence to the Church.” http://www.revive-israel.com/

Israeli PM Netanyahu: ‘this was no Love Boat’ Continue to pray for Israel in the crisis of Islamist enemies using flotillas as a ‘battering ram’ to break the blockade of Hamas terrorist-run Gaza. For public cover, the boats are claiming to be “humanitarian aid” but the true agenda is to attempt to open a seaport where weapons may flow freely into Gaza.
The supporters of organizations participating in the flotilla say they are going to keep the boats coming until Israel is forced to give in to their demands but Israel cannot give in to their demands. Egypt has been working with Israel to cut off the flow of weapons into Gaza through the land corridor, but now the sea campaign aims to punch a giant hole in Israel’s national defense.
Pray that liars, hypocrites and unholy alliances to be exposed to the light and proven links in the chain of evil companions to be demonstrated at work in this giant deception being pulled on the world. Pray for clear lines of division to be drawn between good and evil, between right and wrong. Pray for the uninformed, to be made informed; Pray that passivity and apathy among God’s people to be thrown off.
It is time to step up to the responsibility we have to be salt and light in a world darkened by evil liars.
The biggest open door for tyranny is for God's people to be passive. – Rick Joyner

Number one on our prayer agenda is the injustice that Israeli courts have imposed upon the victims of religious persecution. Pray for the Beer Sheva congregation who have been ordered by the court to pay their persecutors $40,000.00 by Friday (6/11) or face additional monetary penalties.
Even as Israel fights unjust rulings in the world courts, an Israeli court judgment has been issued that will undoubtedly increase persecution of the indigenous believing community. We must rouse ourselves to prayer and to action on behalf of the Body in Israel, our spiritual brothers.
Holding Israel accountable in how they treat our Jewish brothers and sisters in the Lord Yeshua while at the same time challenging the unjust judgments of the world against Israel are NOT IN CONFLICT.
We must stand for righteousness on every level and if we do it with an upright godly spirit, anti-Semitism WILL NOT BE RELEASED against unsaved Israel in the process.
In battered wife syndrome, a woman may not tell anyone about escalating violence against her because she is keeping the family shame secret…often her secret dies with her. Pray for the Body to be transparent about incidents of persecution with those of the Body who WILL pray and support.
It is not right that even Messianic shepherds outside of Israel do not appreciate the extent of persecution against Israeli believers. The apostle Sha’ul (Paul) said, For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life…. You also helping together by prayer for us.
Pray for the believers in Arad who are really suffering from being in an area of concentrated ultra-Orthodox population with nothing better to do than persecute believers day & night. Pray for the congregations there – supernatural grace from the Throne of Grace Himself.
LIES are coming out like a flood against the righteous…surely you’ve noticed? Pray for deceiving spirits to be exposed by the LIGHT and for every tongue that rises in condemnation of the righteous to be rendered futile, fruitless and powerless. Enemies who have been undercover, fully exposed.
Pray for each and every ministry out among the nations bringing the good news that God is indeed moving in Israel and true to His Word salvation is blossoming on the vine of His planting! Pray for open eyes, hearts and minds to what many have NOT be expecting. Favor granted & released upon them.
While Gaza is spotlighted, let us remember that Hezballah on the northern border of Israel is also an Iran-related threat to Israel. Iran is at the center of these summer initiatives….But none of them are out of reach of our God. Pray for the safety and victory over their enemies for Israel; wisdom for Netanyahu.
As Israeli citizens take stock of how overwhelmingly world public opinion is against them, pray that they would turn their hearts to the living God and He would reveal the identity of His Salvation to them. None comes to the Father except He reveal the Son to them.
Seeds of the gospel and salvation are being planted by Israeli Jews in the Ukraine while KGB agents spy openly on the crowd to see if any respond. Pray for those who are receiving in secret to be disciple away from the prying eyes of government police. For much fruit to be borne and nourished to maturity.
Pray also for the assembling together of German and Israeli ministries in Saxony this summer. As the participants, we also believe the key role of this two together in restoring, revealing and releasing God’s word into the nations. May the Lord fulfill all His intentions in bringing these together in unity.
The 24/7 House of Prayer in Jerusalem, Succat Hallel, is asking for prayer as they count down to their 2010 “Elav” (“Unto Him”) conference. Youth from Israel and the nations come to minister to the Lord.
Pray also for the Ridings’ son-in-law & worship leader who suffering from a sudden mysterious hearing loss.
Pray for the ministry couple – an Australian married to an Israeli - who is having an appeal hearing on his right to his age pension. The hearing is July 9th. Pray God will release what is his due and needed for their living support.
Pray for seed planted by the Israeli ministries among unsaved family members and friends during the Shavuot (Pentecost) holiday. Pray for the outreaches – many extra summer outreaches are in full swing. Pray for growth in quality and quantity in the ministries from border to border.
Pray for lives to touched, turned around and transformed in all the ministries that are working on the streets of Israel – especially reaching those who are down and completely counted out according to worldly standards. Thank God He is able to transform the messiest of us and set us upright & glowing!
There are so many thirsty people, dying for the refreshing news of healing, deliverance, sanity, stability, hope, a future, a reason to smile, another person that actually cares, a love that doesn’t let go – no matter what. We have that. People are dying to know what we have.
Pray for a release in every believer who has been held back by anything from being who God has called them to be. We are nothing in ourselves and it is not by our own power, but He has freed is by His love so we can be instrumental in freeing others. It is our mission in this life and we are free to do it.

While the manufactured “crisis” of the flotilla has captured the full attention of everyone interested in Israel, another deeper crisis – one with far reaching spiritual ramifications has unfolded in Israel. Pray for spiritual wisdom to be poured out & priorities put in God’s order.
A verdict of “innocent” has been handed down by Judge Iddo Ruzin in the Beersheva lawsuit against the Chief Sephardic Rabbi Yehuda Deri, and the anti-Messianic organization, Yad L'Achim. This non-accountability verdict takes all restraints off religious persecution in Israel.
Howard Bass writes: We always believed and still believe and accept, that the verdict is the Lord's, and it is for us to discern what He is saying to us through it.
Israelprayer notes: Serious Ramifications in the Beer Sheva Verdict Extend to the Messianic Jewish Community throughout Israel
Israelprayer notes: In their own arrogant words: “Yad L’achim has set up stations throughout Israel to gather a million signatures demanding revision of the present law protecting the public against unwelcome missionary activities. … a team of three first-rank attorneys in Israel have authored and edited the suggested amendment to the 1977 law. …This amendment would end missionary activities, which ironically are now permitted under the present law, which only bans apostatizing minors or bribing adults to convert with money or gifts.” Read their full press release
In the court case of religious terrorist Jack Teitel, an extension has been granted to the District Court Psychiatrist until July 14th. An earlier finding of the DCP was that Teitel was not mentally fit to stand trial. If this is the finding again 7/14, Teitel will be insulated from standing to account for cold blooded religious terrorism. Pray for the Spirit to give you utterance in intercession.
Praise God for the complete healing of Ami Ortiz from every wound, internal and external that he has received at the hands of the religious hatred that is fueled in a segment of the Israeli population against Jews who believe in Yeshua. Pray for the contrast between Light & darkness to be seen by Israelis.
Continue to pray for the Israeli Ministries as they are out in the nations telling the great things that the LORD is doing in Israel. Pray for hearts to be lit on fire with the good news of the kingdom expanding throughout the coasts and borders of Israel – and in neighboring ME Muslim nations as well!
Pray for each Israeli believer who are carrying the good news of the Messiah – the One expected by Israel to heal the sick and deliver the captives – the kingdom of heaven has drawn near and at the Word of His disciples, it is being brought into the very lives of Israelis desperate for Him.
The Global Day of Prayer was also observed in Nazareth – the hometown of Yeshua/Jesus – by Arab Christians and Messianic Jews who came together as one to appeal to heaven. Let these pictures release your prayers http://ebca.weebly.com/news-and-events.html
A former bodyguard of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is now a Messianic Jew with a passion for evangelism and a new congregation in Israel. Pray over the newly started congregation, for blessing and favor upon this “mighty man of valor” who has become a leader of sheep in Israel.
Pray for those who are “discipling Israelis in an atmosphere of revival” - “Many of our team had never laid hands on people but God moved mightily through them – some with demons were delivered and dozens refreshed and empowered by the Holy Spirit” (Israelis ministering in the Ukraine)
Pray that the children and grandchildren of the believers in Israel will accept Yeshua as their Savior and Lord, and will walk in obedience to His Word all the days of their lives - NOT depart from that faith.
Pray for their teenagers to stand against worldly peer pressure. PRAY for their children serving in the army to stand strong in their faith, even in the face of ridicule or harassment.
Pray for health and resources to be in the tents of all those who love the LORD and are called according to His purposes in Israel. That favor with men and God would rest upon each one, and that everything they put their hands to would be blessed.
Pray for any who are wounded and walking in a self-image of victimhood to receive the deep and full healing touch of the LORD with the revelation of their personal worth in His eyes eradicating whatever experiences have shaped their mindset into that of a victim and not of the victor He is calling us to be.
Pray that setbacks do not cause any to halt in pressing forward in the good fight we have been given. If God be for us, who can be against us?
Pray that even when our ‘families’ are turned away from us, that we continue the good fight for their souls. That just because lawlessness abound, that our love does not turn cold toward those God has positioned us to stand for as the enemy contests for their souls. We shall reap if we faint not.
Pray for the Messianic attorneys who are fighting the good fight for religious freedom and pure justice for the followers of Yeshua in the Land of the Messiah.

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the Land. Psalm 37:7-9

________________________________________
Over the past year the leaders of Israeli ministries have met several times to debate the issue of the Yeshua – God? Man? Or Both? This has been a fairly private discussion in Israel and few mentions have been made in the prayer letters to indicate these debates were taking place, or how heated they became in many instances. Discussions to air differences are healthy and good, but when all the dust settles, there is a clear line of demarcation between what is of our faith and what is not. What has been privately held has been moved to publicly exposed.
So I am glad to see Asher Intrater noting in the teaching article this week that even though a small group of Israeli ministry leaders deny Yeshua’s divinity and another small group deny His humanity, that by far “the vast majority of pastors and elders stood firmly in His dual nature.”
From the beginning of Israelprayer it has been our desire to be all-inclusive, however, on this issue I must draw the line. I am only interested in sharing the prayer requests of those ministries who share “like precious faith.” Those who do not believe that Yeshua was both God and man, we pray will come to come to the knowledge of the truth. Yet, it is not our desire to share those ministries in this prayer summary. – Donna Diorio May 25, 2010

The Global Day of Prayer on the 23rd joined some 300 Arab Christians and Israeli Messianic Jews together in a hotel in Nazareth for worship, prayer, repentance, forgiveness and the washing of feet among the pastors. The Prince of Peace reigned and the kingdom was advanced in Yeshua’s name.
Pray for blessings upon all the participants – for the Christian Arab initiators of the event to be covered so that no weapon formed against any of them shall prosper and every tongue rising in condemnation will be rendered impotent in the Name of the LORD whom they serve.
The world is preoccupied each with its own mighty struggles right now – but for those who have seen the future that includes a national salvation within Israel – let us not fear the present but trust the LORD that He will do ALL He has promised to do before the trumpet calls us.
Even as storm clouds gather and surround the nation of Israel the Word of the Lord is for Israel: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” Jeremiah 29:11

Pray for refreshing for those pouring out their lives in spiritually parenting and teach others in the ways of God.
Pray for powerful anointing to rest upon the people of Yeshua in Israel, upon each member of the Body and upon the ministry teams and individuals.

________________________________________
Over the past year the leaders of Israeli ministries have met several times to debate the issue of the Yeshua – God? Man? Or Both? This has been a fairly private discussion in Israel and few mentions have been made in the prayer letters to indicate these debates were taking place, or how heated they became in many instances. Discussions to air differences are healthy and good, but when all the dust settles, there is a clear line of demarcation between what is of our faith and what is not. What has been privately held has been moved to publicly exposed.
So I am glad to see Asher Intrater noting in the teaching article this week that even though a small group of Israeli ministry leaders deny Yeshua’s divinity and another small group deny His humanity, that by far “the vast majority of pastors and elders stood firmly in His dual nature.”
From the beginning of Israelprayer it has been our desire to be all-inclusive, however, on this issue I must draw the line. I am only interested in sharing the prayer requests of those ministries who share “like precious faith.” Those who do not believe that Yeshua was both God and man, we pray will come to come to the knowledge of the truth. Yet, it is not our desire to share those ministries in this prayer summary. – Donna Diorio May 25, 2010

The Global Day of Prayer on the 23rd joined some 300 Arab Christians and Israeli Messianic Jews together in a hotel in Nazareth for worship, prayer, repentance, forgiveness and the washing of feet among the pastors. The Prince of Peace reigned and the kingdom was advanced in Yeshua’s name.
Pray for blessings upon all the participants – for the Christian Arab initiators of the event to be covered so that no weapon formed against any of them shall prosper and every tongue rising in condemnation will be rendered impotent in the Name of the LORD whom they serve.
The world is preoccupied each with its own mighty struggles right now – but for those who have seen the future that includes a national salvation within Israel – let us not fear the present but trust the LORD that He will do ALL He has promised to do before the trumpet calls us.
Even as storm clouds gather and surround the nation of Israel the Word of the Lord is for Israel: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” Jeremiah 29:11
Pray for the judge presiding over the Beersheva case who is surely under great pressure to render a verdict between justice or sanctioned religious persecution. Pray for the believers to place their trust in the Highest Court, no matter human courts decide.

Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel
KEY PRAYER POINTS FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

Shavuot, called Weeks or Pentecost, celebrates the first fruits of the harvest season, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The time between the Omer and Shavuot is often called the "counting of the Omer." The 50 days of counting between Passover and Pentecost also parallels the time between Yeshua’s crucifixion and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
The apostle Paul also recognized a prophetic significance to the Feast, “he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost” (Acts 20:16). Once there Paul and representatives from all the Christian churches would deliver the collection taken up for the Body of Messiah in Israel over a several year period. (There are several references in Paul’s letters encouraging this collection among the churches.)
Lev 23:16-17 speaks of the wave offering that was to be made on this prophetic feast – TWO LOAVES baked with leaven to be waved as an offering before the Lord as first fruits.
The contribution that the Christian churches made to the care of the Body in Israel became the fulfillment of the required wave offering. When the care of the Christian churches returns to the BODY of Messiah in Israel, we will see the prophetic fulfillment of the latter harvest symbolized in Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles.
Pray for the prophetic fulfillment of the wave offering to be performed in our day as well – releasing an abundant latter harvest.

Pray for Israeli Messianic Jewish and Arab Christians who will be reaching across the cultural divides to be one in Messiah on Sunday May 23rd or the Global Day of Prayer.
Pray for all the believing community as Israelis celebrate the annual Feast of Shavuot, Pentecost beginning sundown Tuesday May 18th. Pray for many seeds to be planted and harvested in these prophetic picture holidays.
Stand vigil for the persecuted believers in Israel – families fighting for their citizenship, right to operate businesses without persecution, right to worship according to the dictates of their own conscience and conviction. Pray for those who defend these rights and those who are in the bull’s eye of the enemy.
Pray for comfort for the Mizrachi family as Avi’s mother is laid to rest and Heaven rejoices in her arrival.
Pray for Ami Ortiz’ hand operation which is scheduled for Thursday May 20th. Pray for the family as the trail of Ami’s attempted murderer is temporarily on hold while judges decide if he is truly “mentally unfit” to stand trial. Pray for justice to prevail in Israeli courts.
Pray for the Messianic Guest Houses, Bed & Breakfasts and other accommodations that connect Christians with the Israeli Body of Messiah to be full up over the entire tourist season. Speak blessing on every prayer retreat and short term volunteer program that connects Christians & Israeli Messianic Jews.
Different municipalities throughout Israel as discovering that Messianic ministries are helpful resources for a variety of reasons. Pray for protection and increase in these relationships. Pray that no weapon formed against these relationships will prosper & every tongue condemning be rendered impotent.
The Sign of Jonah Grey whales have not been seen in the Atlantic since the 1800’s but one made an appearance just last week in the Mediterranean off the shores of Jaffa/Tel Aviv. Maybe this isn’t a sign of global warming – but a sign instead an Israeli generation ready to teshuvah – turn in repentance. (Mt 12:39-42)
The verdict in the Beer Sheva congregation case against the anti-missionary Yad L’Achim and Beersheva rabbi Deri could come any day. Pray for God’s will to be served in this verdict and the glory of the Lord to be on the followers of Yeshua NO MATTER what human courts may say.
We are so close, yet so far from the condition of the Body at the time of the Messiah’s return. The world is a chaotic mess – but so are we! Disconnected, estranged from each other. Thank God the Spirit of Messiah is uniting us into One because it is something we cannot do for ourselves. That we may be one.
"Do not let anything rob you of your peace. Just lean on Me."
Pray for the turning of the hearts of the fathers to the children, and of the hearts of the children to the fathers. Families are the target of the enemy – destroy families and the repercussions can multiply out to children’s children. Pray for hearts to be softened and turned back to natural affection.
Pray for the Body in Israel to be as the woman with the issue of blood who reached out to touch Yeshua for healing – that the Body would reach out to touch Yeshua “in desperate faith as one person; we want to do the same but in a group. She received for herself; we want to receive so that ‘all Israel will be saved." (Romans 11:26)
Pray for the fire of Pentecost to fall again of Messianic Jews in Israel that a mighty revival will break forth again as prophesied by Joel and Shimon Peter – God’s Spirit poured out on all flesh before the great and terrible day of the coming of the Lord.
Israelprayer would like to thank each person who takes up these prayer requests for our brothers and sisters in Israel. We are always pressed with an intensity of the needs when dealing with Israel – never a dull moment takes on fuller meaning! – so we probably do not say enough what a blessing each of you on this mailing list are. We want to just take a moment to agree with all the Israeli ministries in speaking a blessing upon each of you. The promise of God is that “I will bless those that bless Israel.” There can be no greater blessing to bless Israel with than from those of you who join your prayers of faith for the harvest of souls in Israel. For those of you who are speaking blessing on the Body of Messiah in Israel to fulfill their calling in preaching the gospel of the kingdom so that all Israel may be saved – May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.

"Give me John Baptist's head in a charger!" What incited Herodias to plot with her daughter to ask such a thing of Herod?

Praise God for the mighty thing He is doing in Korea to make known the plight of Israeli believers through the blockbuster film “Restoration” that has outlived AVATAR in Korean theatres & is spiritually awakening a mighty praying nation to the Body in Israel. Must read this incredible report.
Jerusalem Day, 2010 (tomorrow) on Wed marks the 43rd anniversary of the return of Jerusalem to Israeli control in 1967. This is important prophetically (Lk 21:24) because it concerns our KING who will return as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah to take the throne of His Kingdom – Zion – on the mountain in Jerusalem. A spiritual Kingdom with its Messiah King enthroned on a physical mountain. (Joel 3:17)
"I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion" – Psalm 2:6. "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; May they prosper who love you" – Psalm 122:6.
Being on the road doing the work of the ministry can be mentally, emotionally and physically taxing. Pray for the many Israeli ministers who are traveling in the nations – for the Lord to pour out a double blessing of peace in every circumstance, favor and grace at every turn in the road. Divine appointments.
The battle over the believer’s right to citizenship continues to be waged in Israel – reports this week speak of those who are fighting for their citizenship, some who have been denied re-entrance, and others who have won their cases in court. Pray for this situation where justice often does not prevail.
The Israeli ministry leaders we asked prayer for last week for his mother reports that she has been stabilized and once her strength returns will continue testing and treatment for cancer. We are asking God for a miracle – to dry up the cancer cells completely as a sign of healing following those who are declaring the Good News to Israel. Pray for his father’s recovery too.
Thank God for building strong spiritual families among the believers in Israel. In some cases, the natural family is cut off from those who declare faith in Yeshua. Spiritual families help us to develop godly role models for our relationships. Bless those who support each other in this re-learning process.
When believers gather together in public places for spiritual times of renewal, the curious draw near to watch. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. (2 Cor 2:16) Thank God for those who smell life and receive it.
Pray for the young generation of spiritual leaders that God has raised up in Israel as they go forth to establish new works in evangelism, youth ministries and planting home groups. These are young families who have served in the ministries of their spiritual elders. Pray for God’s blessing and vision upon them.
Thank God for the humanitarian ministry that touches Israelis hard hit by economic woes, and the effects of wars and terror attacks. We are responsible as stewards for where we place our blessings of Israel – we MUST bless ALL ISRAEL through the Body of Messiah in Israel. Awakening to this truth!

Pray for the exchange of refreshing Water – one vessel to the other between the Church & Messianic believers.
Pray for many summertime childrens, youth and young adult conferences that are gearing up all over Israel. Pray for lasting, deep and life-changing ministry to be produced in these tender lives.
We do not worship money, but money is needed by every believer who is still walking in this life. Pray for the needs of every Israeli believer to not only be met, but to begin to overflow that others might be blessed. Pray for Yeshua to show each where to fish for the golden coins needed to meet their needs.
Pray for faith for all those who have stepped out of their boats at the call of Yeshua, to remain in faith even as the wind and waves try to command their attention and produce doubt and unbelief. Pray for eyes to remain fixed upon Him who has called us out of safety not that we may drown but that we may overcome our natural limitations by faith.
An awakening in Israel will release a powerful wave of spiritual awakening across the planet. Pray for the veil to be removed, for the scales of pride to fall from religious eyes, for the revelation of the Son of God to be revealed in Israel and life from the dead redound throughout the nations.

Just prior to mailing time this news began breaking in the Israeli press: Wednesday a court hearing in the Yaakov Teitel case will hear that the psychiatrists have determined that Teitel is mentally unfit to stand trial. This is pure malarkey and we have seen it used before as a tactic to keep justice from being served when the perpetrator is ultra-orthodox.
Please pray for the Israeli courts to recognize that this cynical maneuver will cause serious damage to Israeli credibility. Pray for the judges to demand the proverbial second opinion assessment from a less compromised set of psychiatric experts.

Eccl 3:1-8 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.
Eccl 3: 9-14 What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God. I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever.
Arrows from Zion KEY PRAYER POINTS FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

This week we note the April passing of Paul Bianchini, Dean of the Bible Institute of Jerusalem, to be with the LORD. Pray for his family, loved ones, associates and students as each adjust to his sudden passing.
Pray for the Tel Aviv ministry asking prayer for his mother who doctors have just discovered with much cancer spread throughout her body. We are asking ABBA for a miracle according to Acts 4:30 “By stretching forth Your hand to heal, and that signs & wonders may be done by the Name of Yeshua.”
We thank our Healer Yeshua for touching Uzi at Beit Hallel in Samaria so that cancer shall not rear its ugly head a second time.
We weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. Mazal tov! To the Bass family as their daughter has just been married under the chuppah. The blessing of the LORD be upon the newlyweds for the fullness of God’s purposes in their lives.
“The Gospel is going forth. Seeds are being planted. People are hearing about Yeshua on television”… and the enemy is none too happy about it! Pray for a leading evangelistic ministry in Jerusalem from backlash that comes from presenting faith in Yeshua well. Pray for holy boldness & Divine protection.
Like raindrops during the Spring, each week brings reports of Israelis who are responding to the good news that this Yeshua is for Jews – sent from Heaven for the very things prophesied by Isaiah (61:1-2a). Now it has begun Isaiah 61:2c-11 “For as the earth brings for bud….”
In every walk of life, believers are to be a shining example of the integrity Yeshua brings to bear within our hearts. Thank God for the Israeli Messianic attorneys who are demonstrating the excellence of Daniel in the courts of the Land. Pray for favor in the cases they represent for Yeshua’s Body.
Hebrew is a difficult language to master and every immigrant citizen of Israel must go through Ulpan, a Hebrew language program. Fluent Hebrew is a necessity for ministry to native Israelis. Pray for a special anointing for the language to be upon the Messianic believers to learn and be fluent.
These are trying times – because it is always a trial when the cash flow is tight. Provision is the fuel that takes our visions to the stage of being realized. Pray for the flow of provisions for Israeli ministries, even in financially rocky times that are being felt throughout the world. Every Israeli ministry needs met!
There is a spirit of war hovering over Israel in these times – the U.S. has up to the Obama administration provided a restraining spirit. That has broken down and Israelis are feeling it. Pray for the indigenous ministry leaders who are being given prophetic dreams to prepare – to hear the Spirit clearly and prepare to be an oasis and a refuge to their people in times of trouble, fear and anxiety for the future.
Pray for the city of Arad where believers in the small town have been targeted for several years for persecution from one of the largest yeshivas in Israel. A yeshiva is a orthodox religious school and the one in Arad has 25,000. They have plenty of time to stir up trouble against the believers in the town. And they do.
Pray for all the social projects that are going on in the State of Israel by indigenous followers of Yeshua. It is one thing for the Israeli poor to be fed by the TV Rabbi who is glad to gather millions from Christians but without distributing the bounty in the Name of Jesus – and another thing for the poor to blessed by Yeshua honoring neighbors in the indigenous ministries of Israel. Our seed planted should honor Yeshua.
Speak blessing over the outreaches of the indigenous ministries – from men’s rehabs to women’s shelters, from care to Holocaust survivors to fresh fruits and vegetables to Israeli children living in poverty – pray for these who honor Yeshua in Israel to be blessed with an abundance to do the work of ministries.
Pray for the conferences, prayer gatherings and tours inside the country – that God will unleash a powerful revelation of the significance of this harvest going on in Israel and how it will REDOUND to the glory of God (2 Cor 4:15) in the worldwide harvest.
Pray for the Israeli ministries who are now traveling to minister throughout the nations. Pray for health – it is easy to get run down while on the road. Pray for all to be well back home while these ministries travel. And pray for Divine appointments, favor and anointing to rest upon them every step.
Pray for the hearing on Wednesday in the trial of Yaakov Teitel, on trial for the bombing of the Messianic Ortiz family in Ariel. Pray for the Ortiz family who will be in that hearing along with the family of Samir Balbisi, an Arab murdered by Teitel years earlier. Pray for favor with the courts and media for the victims of this SANE man who is propelled by religious hatred - not insanity.

Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel

Just prior to mailing time this news began breaking in the Israeli press: Wednesday a court hearing in the Yaakov Teitel case will hear that the psychiatrists have determined that Teitel is mentally unfit to stand trial. This is pure malarkey and we have seen it used before as a tactic to keep justice from being served when the perpetrator is ultra-orthodox.
Please pray for the Israeli courts to recognize that this cynical maneuver will cause serious damage to Israeli credibility. Pray for the judges to demand the proverbial second opinion assessment from a less compromised set of psychiatric experts.
