Today, according to the Hebrew calendar, Israel celebrated 44 years of the reunification of Jerusalem to the State of Israel in the hard fought Six Day War of 1967. On June 7, 1967, a battalion of Israel Defense Forces paratroopers defeated Jordanian troops, liberating the Old City and reuniting east and west Jerusalem following 19 years of Jordanian occupation.

The Israeli Prime Minister is in agreement with that the Bible has to say: "The battle for Jerusalem is a battle for truth," Netanyahu began. "There can be no justice without truth.”

Luke 21:24 “….and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”

Zechariah 8:3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

Isaiah 25:7-8 And He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

Jerusalem is not “the city of world’s three great religions” but it is the city of the great King – the King of Kings, Yeshua – who in the end shall be worshiped on that holy mountain.

Have you ever wondered what the full God-promised borders of Israel were?
No wonder there is such an Arab fixation on seeing Israel’s tiny foothold on the Promised Land ripped asunder! Is not Mohammad a false prophet if any portion of Israel exists in our day?

Although the full-fillment of these promised borders can never come through the arm of man, neither can any arm of man remove Israel whom God has restored to the Promised Land. The promised borders shall also surely be delivered through the arm of the LORD when the LORD has been sanctified in the sight of the nations in Yeshua and His Holy Spirit has been poured out upon them.

Eze 39:25-29 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; Then shall they know that I AM the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them anymore there. Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

This is the day of which Ezekiel wrote, the time for Israel to know the “I AM” the LORD.

Arrows from Zion are key prayer points that reflect the more detailed information in prayer letter excerpts Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries. Meant to give subscribers inside information that cannot be shared in public forums, the Weekly Summary are actual prayer letter excerpts, along with photos from the ministries of Israel, links to important stories, and contact and donation information for the ministries.

On Tuesday June 7 from 10 PM to 10 AM, join with the Body in Israel meeting for a Night of Prayer to call upon God’s promise in Joel 2:28 to pour out His Spirit on all flesh. Inside the Weekly Summary are complete details, including a detailing of the vision and a times and topic guide for the 6 watches of the all night prayer vigil to be held on the eve of Shavuot/Pentecost. Believers from around the world are invited to join in agreement. (To subscribe write donna @ d10r10.com - remove spaces from the email address)

There is a greater spiritual stirring in Israel among the believers there, as Israel is made even more isolated among the nations in the midst of increasingly unstable and Israel-hostile neighbors. What we are hearing as the pulse of the Body in Israel is an even greater emphasis on crying out to the LORD for the promised SALVATION of His People Israel. In the biblical record, every season when God was about to advance His salvation plan, the enemy would rise up to prematurely snatch those souls from life. This is where Israel stands today: at the door of the season of Israel’s salvation, with the enemy stirring ancient hatreds to claim death for Israelis before LIFE can claim them. It is time to cry for the Lord to arise – and His enemies – the enemies of His WORD made flesh – be scattered.

The announcement comes from a Galilee ministry for another prayer and fasting day for later in the summer on the traditional Tisha B’Av memorial. This is a prayer and fasting day in traditional Judaism for the destruction of the first and second Temple, but this Messianic call is for the purposes of seeking God for Israel’s present precarious situation. More details inside the attached Weekly Summary.

Pray for the quick healing of Lura Beckford’s broken foot. She is wheelchair bound until it is fully healed, and this is a complication to the Beckfords as Eddie is still under house arrest imposed by the courts in all the harassment cases that have been falsely filed by anti-missionary religious zealots.

Pray for multiplied fruit with the Israeli ministry team and among the Nigerians who came to faith during the meetings. Pray also for the Tikkun Israeli leadership team which is headed to the U.S. for annual meetings in the congregations they began in. Prayer for those who stay behind on the home front.

From time to time we ask for prayers for Israeli ministry leaders who are on short notice forced to relocate their homes and ministry/congregational facilities. Often this comes as a result of pressures on landlords by traditional religious groups who oppose and harass the followers of Yeshua in Israel. We have such a request this week, as one settles into a new home and another begins a search for a new home.

Whether it is ministry to heal the wounded Body in Israel among women or in personal evangelism and outreach, there are many small ministries operating throughout Israel. Some in small home group settings providing a local assembly for a congregational-less village, or for Christian Arabs, or for Russian-speakers, or other such groups. Pray for these works of the LORD which are no less important than the larger ministries and congregations.

Pray for the believers in the nations to catch the vision the Apostle Paul worked to instill in ALL the first century churches under his ministry: supportive role of the Gentile Church toward the Israeli Body of Messiah. Romans 15:25-27 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. For it has pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. It has pleased them truly; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.

Congratulations to the Ferguson family of Yeshua Israel Ministries – as well as the Sorko-Ram grandparents of Maoz Ministries – who welcomed a new son into their family that now numbers five: Kobi, Shani and three big sisters to dote on the new baby brother. Mazal tov!

The Segal’s of Joseph’s Storehouse have set their sights on upping the number of children they are able to bless in this their 13th year of the Pack to School program. Each year with the help of donors the Storehouse is able to provide Israeli school children with backpacks filled with school supplies. This year they hope to distribute 13,000 packs. More details inside the Weekly Summary.

Many Israeli ministries encourage the Messianic Jews of the world to return to the Jewish homeland. As one reminded this week, “The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel” writing: Pray for a continuing stream of Jews to get connected to their roots and realize that Israel is their homeland and this is where they belong.

Pray for continued rains – which have been greater this year but Israeli is still in a serious water shortage situation.

Pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu – who even though he has not come to faith yet – is nevertheless standing in the anointing from God upon the office of the Prime Minister of Israel. There are conditional and unconditional purposes of God in these end times as God has re-gathered Israel to their ancient homeland for the purpose of salvation. Pray for Netanyahu to have the wisdom and favor of God to lead the nation well through all the conditional situations Israel must grapple with.

The Yeshua’s Harvest DVD about the Body of Messiah in Israel was shown in an hour long broadcast on GOD TV last Sunday, May 29. Tell your friends and pray for the re-airings on June 7th at 9 PM, midnight and 3 AM (consult the GOD TV schedule – as we have no idea what time zone that is for, likely the Pacific U.S. time zone).

The words of the Paul Wilbur song, Days of Elijah, come to mind as the priority prayer this week:

These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the word of the Lord:
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword,
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
'Prepare ye the way of the Lord!'

Pray for an understanding of the times we are in – the birth pangs of the Messiah. It is not a time for fear, but of great anticipation of the great things God is doing and about to do in our midst. Pray for all those standing in terrible trials – that Yeshua will lift them up and many will enter into the Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

Israeli Ministries thank those who prayed for violence to be limited on “Nakba Day”. There was violence and shocking events as hoards poured over the border – but it could have been worse, and Israelis fear it will become worse. The believers are grateful for the prayers of the saints for the protection of Israel.

Along with the so-called “Arab Spring” (doesn’t that really mean the time when kings go out to war?), comes increased hostility aimed at Israel.

“Please join us in raising up a mighty intercession for Israel in this time of attack. Pray that the truth would be heard above the lies.

Pray that the true purposes of organizations like Hamas, Hezballah, Fatah as well as the nations that surround us would be clearly manifest and understood.

Pray for disunity in the camps of our enemies and supernatural protection for Israel.”

Pray for Israeli citizens who are deeply troubled to have seen masses of people with hatred overflowing Israel’s borders, bent on destruction of Israel. Pray that God would comfort the troubled with a revelation of the true identity of His Messiah, the One who rises to Israel’s ultimate defense.

If you missed hearing about the 63rd celebration of the birth of the modern State of Israel, you will get a great tribute read in the attached Weekly Summary from Yeshua Israel’s 63 Years of the Israeli Dream. A blessed people are a blessing to people.

Our condolences to Eitan Shishkoff and the Shishkoff family who have bid farewell to Eitan’s mother , Muriel , on the first day of Passover. Our brother wrote very beautiful words in his prayer letter (in the Weekly Summary/ by subscription only) about God’s command to honor the elderly, especially our parents.

The Silvers write today with an urgent request for prayer for Paul Sherbo’s wife, Hana, who suffering from cancer has now been diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism. Doctors have done all they can. Hana needs a Divine intervention for physical healing….and also for salvation.

The teens of believing families across Israel came together for a “One Heart” 3-day youth camp in April. Katzir means Harvest, and this is the spiritual investment of the group’s leaders upon the teens for their own place in the spiritual harvest fields of Israel. Pray for these young people to be of “one heart” with Yeshua.

Another desert gathering was the recent “second phase of an 'experimental project' for Musalaha (Reconciliation ministries) bringing together young Israelis, Palestinians and Americans. Evan Thomas has an encouraging report inside the Weekly Summary / by subscription only about tackling the difficult issues between these groups in a setting that bonds of our fellowship of faith is also prioritized. This is a witness of the power of Yeshua.

Ron Cantor and the Messiah’s Mandate team have returned from Nigeria with full hearts and stirring testimonies. The beginning of those stories were beamed out to us via internet from Nigeria, but more to come in the days ahead. Thank God for the salvations, healing and firing up of evangelistic passion in these ministry partnerships between Israeli and Nigerian ministries.

Thank God that the work of the Lord in Israel continues to press outward in every direction – congregational life, publishing, humanitarian aid, social media, video, one-on-one outreach - the Spirit is stirred in the lives of the Israeli Body. Thank God.

After returning from Egypt recently Rick Ridings has issued new prayer points in a YouTube video. Rick also addresses sorcery from Iran. Watch here.

Asher Intrater shares the prayer request of a Pakistani evangelist that Revive-Israel partner with. Please read the threat that Christians all over the churning Middle East nations. In Pakistan, Christians fear reprisals for the killing of Bin Laden.

Asher Intrater shares on the biblical number 7 inside the Weekly Summary / by subscription only, Process and Perfection (7 x 7). The number 7 teaches us to understand the stages and processes of God. We can be encouraged because Yeshua taught the kingdom of God comes in stages. (Mark 4:26-29).

Pentecost Prayer Please continue to prepare to join together with us, with Messianic pastors and prayer groups in Israel, and with prayer networks around the world on the eve of Pentecost (Shavuot), June 7-8, from 10 PM to 10 AM (Israel time), as we intercede for world-wide revival, according to Acts 2:17. More details will follow in the weeks to come.

View an unforgettable series of photographic posters that drive home the point that the Apartheid accusations against Israel is foolishness, while it is spoken on behalf of those who would enact their own apartheid against Israelis.

Egypt's emergent political landscape hostile to Israel, would keep treaty
A democratic Egypt's foreign policy will be more responsive to domestic public opinion. Ahram Online speaks to post-revolution political movements on their attitude towards Israel

Abbas Rewrites History in New York Times
CAMERA May 17, 2011

It's not particularly surprising that Mahmoud Abbas, often dubbed "moderate" by the media (as opposed, for instance, to the "hawkish" Netanyahu), would fabricate about the past, contradicting a clear historical record.

Moreover, given the direction of The New York Times coverage in recent months, and given its record of using its Op-Ed page as a platform for anti-Israel propagandists – a CAMERA study in 2008 found that the newspaper published twice as many anti-Israel Op-Eds as it did pro-Israel Op-Eds – it's not even surprising that the paper would readily print Abbas's fabrications in its pages.

But it's also reprehensible.The Palestinian Authority leader's Op-Ed today is full of omissions and historical revisionism that essentially amount to lies.

"Therefore give to Your servant(s) an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I(we) may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?" 1 Kings 3:9

“But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Hebrews 5:14

If there was ever a time when the people of God needed an understanding heart to discern between good and evil, it is the days we live in. This is a priority for this season of confusing developments that are surrounded by the fog of spiritual warfare.

As Israeli ministry leaders and pastors return from their bi-annual Sitting At Yeshua’s Feet gathering, pray that everything the LORD did among them would continue to blossom, bear and multiply spiritual fruit. Pray for the ‘trickle down effect’ – what God did for the leaders to trickle down in refreshing upon the congregations of Israel.

The team of young Israelis going forth with the Messiah’s mandate for the gospel to go forth from Zion has landed safely in Nigeria. Although the recent Muslim violence against Nigerian Christians has not being taking place in the north where these Israelis will be ministering, please pray for the LORD to be with them mightily in every way and every step they take.

Americans rejoiced at the news of Osama bin Laden’s demise, but Asher Intrater asks three probing questions inside the Weekly Summary, relating to parallels that are ignored when Israel does the exact same thing to protect herself. Pray the American Body of Christ will get real on these issues.

Also inside the Weekly Summary, an invitation to join a worldwide night of intercession to pray for the pouring out of the Spirit on all flesh before the second coming of the LORD. The time will be 12 hours on the eve of Shavuot (Pentecost), Tuesday-Wednesday, June 7 – 8, 10:00 PM to 10:00 AM, Israeli time.

One Israeli ministry visited with the churches recovering from devastation in Christchurch, NZ in February and report, “It was such a powerful testimony to see the Body of Messiah functioning as 'the head and not the tail'.” It is a good reminder to pray for those whose national disasters have faded from media reports.

We are also encouraged by the same ministry not to be fearful of event indicative of the Matthew 24 “birth pangs” of the Messiah. Even the ‘stable governments’ of the Middle East being overthrown has caused apprehension in Israel, but we are to keep our eyes on Yeshua & His promises to us.

We reported last week on the persecution against the Kleins forcing them out of their home and ministry HQ in the Judean Hills. The situation is still extremely fluid, so please pray for the LORD’s will to be done and for them to recognize His will when it presents itself.

Pray for the work the Kliens are involved with Germany: “something the Lord had said seven years ago concerning His intention to birth a youth and young adult movement among the “fourth generation” in Germany.” Later in May Arni will join intercessors in Northampton in the U.K. for “fasting and seeking the Lord for light on His purposes for England regarding Israel.” Pray for God’s purposes to be revealed.

Pray also for the Israel Mandate Conference to be held at IHOP in Kansas City this weekend. KC IHOP distinguishes itself among the prophetic church for its dedication for including the Body in Israel with its vision for seeking God’s purposes for Israel. A true Messianic apostle, Daniel Juster, will be one of the speakers of Israel Mandate.

Carolyn Hyde, a well known Messianic psalmist/worshipper, has been denied (along with her daughter), a renewal of her Israeli passport. This is illegal and they are making a legal appeal – but it is also typical of the persecution against Jewish believers in Jesus. Pray the decision of the Interior Ministry will be overruled – it is not a shoe-in just because it is illegal. Please pray through.

Orthodox soldiers have also been targeting the Carolyn & Richard’s son "A". Commanders are looking into the matter. Please pray for the commanders: “You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.”

Pray for Israeli ministries now booking openings in spring and summer tours outside Israel. Pray for new venues to be opened so new relationships may be forged. Pray also for the many Christians who will be visiting Israel in the 2011 tourist season. Pray for connections with the Body of Messiah in Israel.

In Akko, a small ministry has been targeted by Yad L’Achim with fliers that were mailed in their neighborhood. One recipient called them to get more information about their beliefs. There is no way to tell if the caller was sincere or laying a trap for the couple. This is also the dilemma many believers in Israel face. Pray for their protection and for the LORD to order their steps.

Inside the Weekly Summary, Jerusalem co-pastor Eddie Santoro has written a wonderful piece on the just past week of memorials in Israel, from Holocaust Remembrance Day to Memorial Day, then to Independence Day. Please read and be blessed. (Happy 63rd Birthday Israel.)

Ye’shi Reinhardt of Hands of Mercy humanitarian aid, experienced a mild heart attack while on a speaking tour in Norway. Please pray for Ye’shi and for the strengthening of his good work among terror victims in Israel.

Shani Ferguson of Yeshua Israel Ministries is due to deliver her baby any day now. She and Kobi have three daughters and look forward to welcoming their first son into the world. Pray a good and easy deliver for mother & son.

Eddie Santoro, an Israeli Messianic minister in Jerusalem wrote:

"The destiny of Israel and the coming Kingdom of God are intertwined and so the forces that set themselves against Yeshua's return also align themselves against the nation of Israel and the Jewish people."

It is another indication that we must remain especially vigilant over Israel right now – as you will read below and may be seeing in Israel-oriented news, this is a season of a new level of danger. Likewise, this is true in the spiritual realm for the Body of Messiah.

Arrows from Zion
Arrows from Zion are key prayer points that reflect the more detailed information in prayer letter excerpts "Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries" which is by subscription only. Write donna at d10r10.com

Meant to give subscribers inside information that cannot be shared in public forums, the Weekly Summary are actual prayer letter excerpts, along with photos from the ministries of Israel, links to important stories, and contact and donation information for the ministries.

Over the past few days America is rejoicing that the al-Qaeda leader responsible for the 9/11 attacks has been dispatched to his eternal destiny. While many are in celebration mode though, the witness in my Spirit is that the world just got far more dangerous and especially more dangerous for Israel. Eddie Santoro’s prayer letter (inside the Weekly Summary attached) offer many strategic insights that will serve to guide prayer for Israel in a post-bin Laden world. - D.Diorio

Unity Government between Hamas and Fatah Please pray against any unity between these forces of darkness. Yeshua said that a house divided against itself cannot stand. It is our hope and desire to see the enemies - of Israel, the Western world and most importantly God - fragmented and divided rather than increasingly unified.

Some in the international media believe that a unity government between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority is a sign of forward motion progress, but nothing could be further from the truth. Inside the Weekly Summary Santoro and a member of Asher Intrater’s ministry explain why.

One notes that this agreement is leading up to the declaration of Palestinian statehood in September which is unleashing a massive anti-Israeli campaign to pave its way.

The Egyptian Government Many moves have been made in the new Egyptian government that the press has not been shining any light on – light that would dispel the idealism that democracy and good will have taken hold in the change of leadership. The new developments are “a matter of grave concern for Israel’s defense strategy.” Please pray for this dangerous and quickly changing situation on our southern border.

Holocaust Memorial Day “As in the days of Hitler, the Jews again find themselves being villianized, hated and isolated. Truth is again being overwhelmed by endless lies and a sleeping world seems all too willing to ignore what is happening…. These are not easy times for this nation but ultimately, we find our peace and hope not in world politics but in our God. We ask you to please pray for this revelation of God's love for this nation to be spread abroad in people's hearts.”

Many Israeli Ministries are noting the passing of a great mentor and friend, David Wilkerson, who died in a tragic car accident in Texas on April 27th. One ministry, David and Karen Davis of the Carmel congregation, share their tribute to the man who was a spiritual father to them and others in the Israeli ministry community.

David Davis also asks for prayer surrounding the called for “Third Intifida,” May 15. Pray the Lord will thwart any planned acts of violence against Israel. Muslims are calling for a Third Intifida and for Palestinians to march upon the borders of Israel with violence, as they proclaim the soon demise of the State of Israel. Pray for vigilance and wisdom for our government concerning the intentions of Iran, Syria and Hizballah

Sitting at Yeshua’s Feet (SAYF) the bi-annual prayer retreat of the Messianic/Christian leadership community in Israel is going on now. It began on Tuesday and will end Thursday. Howard Bass asks: With the devil roaming about roaring like a lion trying to wreak fear and division among us, please pray for these days to be blessed by the presence of God and of a deep work within each of us to promote the love and the unity which brings joy to our Father in Heaven.

Asher Intrater invites participation in a 12-hour international prayer watch that has the endorsement of the Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel with the cooperation of local Israeli pastors and prayer houses. The intercession and fasting is called for the eve of Shavuot (Pentecost) Tuesday-Wednesday, June 7 – 8, 10:00 PM to 10:00 AM, local Israeli time. (organizational info & prayer guidelines to follow).

The danger that surrounds the nation of Israel is mirrored in an increased danger surrounding the believing community in Israel. Ministries are still being driven from their homes & ministry venues. Believers still being campaigned against on their jobs. The anti-Messiah activists are still persecuting their targets with seeming impunity. The Body is quiet, but it does not mean their persecutors have not been emboldened by their free rein against believers.

One Israeli ministry is asking for prayer warriors to stand with him in believing for 300 immersions in the Land among all people groups over the coming year.

Thank God for the abundant rains that has been falling in Israel with reports that Israel is especially green at this time. The Sliver’s recall the thanksgiving of Psalm 68:9 You, O God, sent a plentiful rain whereby You confirmed Your inheritance when it was weary. They note: The rains are symbolic and prophetic of the outpouring of His Spirit soon to be released upon His people.

Arrows From Zion 4 26 2011

Praying in Agreement with the Israeli Body of Messiah

during the Passover/Resurrection holiday week.

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.
________________________________________

Arrows from Zion
________________________________________

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.

Speak comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins. Isaiah 40:2

For your shame you shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. Isaiah 61:6

Though the chastisement of Israel for her sins has been double, according to the word of the Lord, so is the blessing to those Israelis who have placed faith in Yeshua to ultimately be experienced in the double as well.

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
________________________________________

Arrows from Zion

The Hebrew word for harvest is katzir, it is also the name of the Israeli Messianic camps held for the youth several times each year. As we write this the 10th annual Katzir Passover camp is in progress and the importance of these spiritual gatherings for the teens of believing families cannot be over-emphasized. Please pray for great and lasting spiritual fruit to be produced.

The theme for this gathering is spiritual renewal based on 2 Chronicles 29-31. Pray for them to embrace fully the understanding that “in these unsure times of change, faith in Yeshua is the very most relevant outlook they could possibly embrace as life's foundation.”

The Beckford’s have had 2 court hearings this week and another one on Thursday. In the first two, the cases went well; in the last they are very concerned about a judge who has said if they do not cop a guilty plea they will be sorry. On principle, they cannot plead guilty to a false assault accusation. Pray for the judge to relent to the truth and this case be settled without false imprisonment of Eddie.

“The truth at the bottom of all these trials (literal court trials!) is the fact that the Haredim (ultra-Orthodox) are persecuting the believers in Israel.” Many have been critical of the Beckford’s for all the troubles against them. It is patently unfair to blame the victim and the accusers should be ashamed. We can be adult and face up to the truth of religious persecution in Israel without falling into the trap of it stirring Christian anti-Semitism. Let’s get real on this issue at long last!

Despite the house arrest for 2 ½ years, the work of the Beckford’s Bible shop & chess club continues with fruit. A Muslim girl recently accepted the Lord and another one of their formerly Muslim women has been given a bold spirit to witness about Yeshua! The Gospel cannot be chained.

Yeshua Israel Ministries in Jerusalem are often the target of bad-mouthing from anti-Messiah sources in Israel. They have written a message Christians ought to read playing off of the phrase that has surfaced in the public consciousness, the Muslim Brotherhood. The Ferguson’s write about The Jewish Brotherhood. It is time Israel-supporting Christians begin to understand the truth parallels.

Praise God for the awe-inspiring photos of religious-terror victim, Ami Ortiz, playing basketball last month! Wow! This time in 2008 he was lying on the Ortiz kitchen floor barely hanging on to life after opening the bomb-laden Purim basket Yaacov Teitel placed there. Now Ami is flying high ‘dunking it’ on the basketball court. All praise to God for the miracle that is Ami Ortiz!

Once again the courts have delayed the mental fitness hearings for Jack Teitel from April 5th now postponed until May 23, 2011. No explanation given. This is of the utmost concern for prayer – for if Teitel is not held accountable for his hate crimes, it will embolden other of ‘the Jewish Brotherhood’ to similar acts against believers, Arabs, and others they deem less human than themselves.

With the Passover season upon us, there are many opportunities for Israeli ministries from north to south and east to west to share the Good News of Yeshua, with the powerful accompanying testimony of their lives. It is not that our lives are perfect, but that our righteousness is of Him which gives us peace that by-passes understanding in the midst of our storms.

Pray in agreement with those Israeli ministries who are believing for “a surge of salvations this Spring” and who are training their congregants for the work of the ministry.

Mazal tov to the Kehilat HaCarmel who are celebrating their 20th Anniversary of ministry on Mt Carmel in June. In May the congregation will also hold their 4th annual Mt Carmel Convocation. This congregation is in the town where the horrific fire broke out a few months ago. Their building was spared by the hand of God and photos with fire leaping behind the building are proof of God’s mercy.

Revive-Israel reports the Good News from Fukushima, Japan – in the midst of triple disasters, the city of Iwaki may be the break out point for revival for Japan.

One believer son of a Messianic ministry is enduring months of persecuted by four Orthodox soldiers in his unit. Pray for “A” to have grace and for the Lord to turn the battle at the gate of authority. Pray for the persecuting religious soldiers to fall under the conviction of the Holy Spirit as Saul did on the road to Damascus.

Israelis are in many parts of the world, and what a blessing when even in New York an Israeli ministry can share the good news with an Israeli and usher that one into the Kingdom. As the Israeli’s wife wrote later, “He was so receptive to hearing and receiving the word from someone that shares his culture and Jewish belief as well.” This is key and why indigenous ministry is a necessity even in Israel. Because of Romans 11:11 Christians think the lessons of indigenous evangelism is suspended in Israel. That is just not true.

Inside the Weekly Summary (which is by subscription only) are links to many good writings by various Israeli ministries of different streams of thought within our faith. If you think this group is a monolithic mindset – think again. Read through the offerings and see where you find like kindred spirit – then become involved with the harvest through that ministry. Commit to seeing the plan of God fulfilled in Israel through our spiritual family.

Humanitarian aid to terror victims and those who suffer from the missile bombardments from Gaza is a not something that comes and goes from war to war, but is a seemlingly continuous need. The most recent missile attack landed on a school bus and one young man’s life is hanging in the balance. Please pray for Daniel …and pray about what you might be able to do in terms of humanitarian aid by believers.

Believers everywhere have troubles, but I am convinced that there is double-portion trouble on Israeli believers. I know many pooh-pooh that idea, but it has been my observation from close view that is the case. Isaiah 40:2 says it right out, and that is probably why the Lord counter-balances with this promise: “For your shame you shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.” Isaiah 61:7

For my beloved friends in Israel who are now experiencing double trouble, I rejoice that the Lord’s plans for your future is double portions and that you shall possess this joy in your own land. For those who are being tossed off lands now, there is a possession that is yours coming that is double.

An enlightening look at some of the ‘messianic’ beliefs in traditional religious Judaism in Israel. Many Christians think the religious of Israel have much in common with Western Christianity, but that is just not accurate. Christians really do need a seasoned ‘tour guide’ to make our way through the jungle terrain that is the Jewish world! Those who don’t think so are being led down the proverbial primrose path. Tal Robin of Revive Israel offers this seasoned tour into beliefs of Hasidic Judaism.

Eph 1:16-23 “I do not cease to give thanks for the Body of Messiah in Israel, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Messiah Yeshua, the Father of glory, may give to you and the unsaved Israeli Jews, Arabs, Bedouin and others, the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in His Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the whole congregation, which is His Body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

The Body of Messiah in Israel is a precious gift – not only to their countrymen, but also to the release of harvest blessings worldwide. When we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, we are praying for those who are lifting up the Prince of Peace in Israel. When He is lifted up, He will draw all men to Himself.

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

This week we begin with a breakthrough news program report on the illegal alignment against believers in Yeshua/Jesus in Israel. The alliance, reported by the Israeli equivalent of 60 Minutes, is between anti-missionary activists, Yad L’Achim, and the Interior Ministry which has jurisdiction over citizenship issues as well as visas for those who work for church organizations in the country. Access online by clicking the link above.

Because there is often backlash after significant breakthroughs, we ask for prayers covering the entire Body of Messiah in Israel – Jewish and Christian believers in the country.

Eddie Santoro also asks for prayer covering over the program producer, Noga, asking for her to be protected from all backlash. We would also include the Knesset Members who spoke up against the illegal persecutions violating religious freedom of Israeli citizens.

Pray for the Israeli public who have seen this program, who will see this program, and all who discuss or ponder it, to have any scales removed from their eyes to be able to see clearly and choose godly justice.

2 Thess 2:10 identifies that a love of the truth separates those who see and those who will not: “and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” Pray for Israelis with a love of the truth to be spiritually awakened by these issues.

Pray for those who are deceived, thinking they are doing God a favor by persecuting the Body in Israel. Yeshua identified the problem in Matthew 7:5, it is a hypocritical spirit. "Hypocrite! First remove the log from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”

Pray for those in the Church worldwide to also be awakened to these things that are rising from the undercurrent of Israeli societal issues – to discern the way the Lord is moving among Israelis to come into agreement with Him in how He is moving to reveal His Son to the nation of Israel.

The first phase of this spiritual revealing appears to be acknowledging the godly truth that every person is given the freedom to choose what they believe – without being forced. The next phase will be for Israelis to comprehend that faith in Yeshua does not strip the believer of Jewish identity. Pray for the Body to move with the Holy Spirit as this phase comes more and more to the fore.

Pray for Calev Myers and others who have been very bold in the forefront of issues related to the religious freedoms. Those who are doing the most are also the most visible targets of hatred. Pray for the shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of the enemy, and that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every condemning tongue be judged by the Body of Messiah.

Pray for the Church to heighten discernment in the matter of their relations with Israelis. While it is good to do outreach to unsaved Israel, it should not be at the price of pretending there is not a saved Israel we neglect forming relationship with at the same time.

Israeli ministries have girded themselves for increasing opposition to their existence in Israel. They are as those who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, with building tools in one hand and defensive swords in the other. They live in INTENSITY at all times. Pray for grace, and for the heavenly vision to be greater than the earthly hardships endured day by day.

Pray for an increase of those who will come alongside the call of Israeli ministries who are expanding their tents, to increase the care of those already within the tents of faith…and all those who are coming in. They are surely coming in an increasing flow of God revealing His Son throughout the Middle East.

Passover is coming. This year, instead of supporting Christian or un-saved Jewish groups to distribute Passover dinners, help Israeli ministries do that! There is almost no Israeli ministry that is not reaching out to provide for the needy, so WHY NOT BLESS IN THE NAME OF YESHUA/JESUS?

Sometimes the pressure to oust believers from their homes and ministry headquarters in Israel are very loud and boisterous; sometimes though the pressure is in a quiet undercurrent. Pray for those who are being ousted from homes – that God will reposition them in the place of His choosing: For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Pray for the surge of personal evangelism an Israeli ministry reports, also noting, “The gospel is not to be shared in words alone, but backed up by a real life testimony of integrity, moral courage, and service.”

Pray for an acknowledgment (respect and honoring) of the fruit of indigenous evangelism: “This is the kind of fruit that local Israelis can produce: real, relevant, personal, loving, less in cost and more effective than a foreign mission campaign. “

For every denomination or set of convictions of faith in the Church, there is a corresponding Israeli ministry doing the work of ministering the gospel to the unsaved. This is true among Messianic Jews and also among Arab Christians. BOTH are UNDERFUNDED by mission giving in the Church!!

Pray for the Christian Arab Baptist minister in Akko who often goes with personal salary because of the shortfall of funds. This is repeated so many times over among the believer ministries here that you have to ask, What the heck are the churches giving to in Israel?!

May 12th – 14th in Nazareth there will be the 100th year celebration of the Baptists presence in Israel. Pray for celebration of this milestone – for a great opening of the hearts of Arabs to Issa/Jesus, and for all the outreaches including new bookstores and internet cafes to reach more Arabs with the gospel.

Pray for all the believers who are serving in the IDF. Repeatedly we get good reports from their proud Israeli parents of how their children are being singled out with honors in the service of the nation. This excellence is a living testimony.

Succat Hallel’s Rick Ridings offers another video update on how to pray for international situations in the Middle East that impact Israel. Access it on YouTube Jerusalempraise.

The Hands of Mercy operate a Tents of Victory – humanitarian aid to terror victims and to cities that are often bombarded by rockets from Gaza, like Sderot. Humanitarian aid cannot be overtly evangelistic, but it is better to fund believers doing these valuable humanitarian outreaches. Selah. “Blessed is he who considers the poor. The L-RD will deliver him in time of trouble. He will preserve and keep him alive...and he will be enriched upon the earth.” Psalms 41:1-2
