There are many serious issues facing Israel, and facing the Body of Messiah in Israel, which is why the word “exceeding” comes to mind.

After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I AM your shield, and your exceeding great reward. Genesis 15:1

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us… Ephesians 3:20

through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature… 2 Peter 1:3-4

This week we begin the prayer points with a subject that led in many of the prayer letters this week: the advertisements that the anti-Messianic activists of Yad L’Achim ran against the believers in two major Israeli newspapers over the last month. (See it here.)

Pray for the plans of these misguided LOST souls to be thwarted - of whom the apostle Shaul/Paul rightly spoke, “Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. “ (Romans 10:1-2)

Pray for the entire Israeli Jewish Body of Messiah to be granted great grace, wisdom and boldness for this battle they are well aware cannot be avoided but must be engaged with the same complete dependence upon direction from Abba that Yeshua Himself demonstrated throughout His ministry.

Pray Acts 4:29-30 which the first century believers also prayed over themselves: "Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Yeshua"

Pray for the many in the Israeli public, press, law enforcement, legal system and government who are watching all these things because they are in the VALLEY OF DECISION. As Joel 3:14 says, Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

Pray for the Church in the Nations to awaken to the reality that the clock is again ticking on the Book of Acts, a book that chronicled the opening strains of salvation through Yeshua in Israel for the first 28 chapters and has begun being written again in our generation with the crescendo fulfilling Paul’s prophetic statement “and so all Israel shall be saved as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall tuhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifrn away ungodliness from Jacob.” (Romans 11:26)

MAOZ wrote: “Also, send a message to the Jerusalem Post on behalf of the Messianic Jewish believers and let them know how appalled you are by this hateful and misleading ad. Ask them if they would print the same ad with 'ultra-Orthodox' substituted every time 'Messianic' is used. But also remember to tell thttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhem that you are standing with Israel against her enemies because of your faith in Yeshua the Messiah! “
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
The other event that received across the board attention from Israeli ministries this week is the upcoming demonstration against the UN Human Right Durban III council coming up in Sept. (Read more details inside the Weekly Summary or here).

The Jerusalem Institute of Justice who are Israeli Messianic attorneys, have produced a video that powerfully breaks down the causes of UN Bias Against Israel. Help us cause this YouTube video to viral by forwarding it to your friends and associates. For more details visit the events website at Durban3nyc.com, join the Facebook group “Boycott Durban III"

Zion’s Glory Ministry writes: In September there are two major international events that are aimed at the delegitimization and criminalization of Israel. The first event is the planned "Durban III" to be held at the UN. headquarters in NYC, September 21…. in order to coincide with the annual opening of the United Nations General Assembly…. The second major event facing Israel in September is the planned declaration of a Palestinian state in the General Assembly of the UN…. A unilateral decision for statehood by the Palestinians would eliminate the need for them to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state…. the establishment of a state which would serve as a launching pad for further military strikes against Israel.

The Santoro’s continue: There is no doubt that the planned outcome of this conference is to once again condemn and delegitimize the very existence of Israel as a Jewish State. But God is mighty, so let's join together and impact history with our prayers. We ask you to please commit yourselves to praying and interceding against this dark event over the coming two months. … Please pray and intercede that this anti-Israel vote would be derailed. We have started to see some resistance coming from several European capitals, the US and other nations. Please pray that God will destroy all of these evil plans.

Thank God for good news from Arad! The judge warned them against not making a plea deal saying they would be sorry, but Eddie replied I cannot bear false witness against myself. The court date finally arrived and the Judge saw through the subterfuge of anti-missionary tales against them, viewed the security video of the actual incident and rendered his verdict that Eddie was NOT GUILTY! Praise God.

Please continue to pray for the Beckford’s who have been under house arrest for 3 years and have two more anti-missionary nuisance lawsuits to go through before house arrest is lifted. Those verdicts could be handed down in Sept – though may delays have prevailed through all the court cases. This was a huge lift of their spirits – pray for the LORD’s encouragement to continue to fight the good fight.

Pray also for an Arad believer who has turned her back on Messiah and wrecked havoc among the believing community, upon her marriage and her family.

In northern Israel there are reports of weddings and baptisms! The family of Yeshua is growing in every way and the need to enlarge their tents is a familiar refrain we are hearing from many Israeli ministries. Pray for the LORD who is causing this growth among the Israeli ministries to send those alongside to help with the expense of the multiplying Body in Israel.

There is a huge number of Russian-speaking believers in Israel, and Return to Zion is one of the ministries that is investing in strengthening them with the Haifa Theological Institute, as well as to train Russian speaking Messianic leaders of the future. Think about this: the Messianic community in Russia is also relatively new, fledgling even. Who will come alongside to help finance the spiritual building up the Russian speaking Body of Messiah in Israel? http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

From the House of Victory which is a rehab ministry under the auspices of the HaCarmel Congregation in Haifa, see a powerful video testimony of a man who was addicted to heroin for so long it looked hopeless even to those who took him in to work with. Many Christians assume the Holy Land is actually holy, but it takes workers ministering in the power of Yeshua to rescue Israelis from all the pitfalls common to man.

Thanks for the prayers for the leader of the Katzir Youth Camp who leg was injured at the start of the gathering. Eitan Shishkoff said he is "Vastly better thanks to all the prayers (and an elastic knee bandage.) Grateful for continued prayer as I prepare for this 3 week plus multi-city journey."

From Howard Bass, a reminder that Israel needs prayer for water – spiritual and natural water upon the Land so the desert may bloom like the Garden of Eden. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Bass wrote an article during the 2008/9 Gaza war as deep divisions between the indigenous Body of Messiah – Jew and Arab – began to surface because of the war. One again those swirling undercurrents are relevant as we seek to become ‘one new man’ in the midst of conflicts. “Yeshua/Jesus/Isua is the only one who can heal these deep, deep wounds of our histories, of God's sovereign will and choices, of our own particular experiences and perceptions of those histories, of our feelings of acceptance or rejection by God the Father Himself.”

Caspari also shares a translated report in Star HaDarom of an article targeting believers meeting in a private home in Ashkelon. The home group is reportedly an older Russian couple and the news story is meant by Yad L’Achim to stir local opposition to them.

“To live in Israel is to live with the constant threat of those who seek our harm. To be a leader in Israel is to live with the weight of the responsibility of preparing others to face that threat with courage, faith and a helping hand in the midst of suffering.” – Marty Shoub, Tents of Mercy

This quote is a true statement even on just a natural level. Imagine how much greater the weight of it is upon the true spiritual leaders of Israel which is the context it was spoken in. There are many things that can be prayed all round this, but our priority of the week is toward these spiritual leaders of the Body of Messiah in Israel.

Arrows from Zion
________________________________________

The annual summer camp for teens, Katzir (Harvest) is underway in the Galilee as of Sunday evening and is 10-days in duration. Pray for the gathering which is so spiritually strengthening to the young people who rarely the experience of being around other believers in their schools and neighborhoods. Significant things are done in these camps and your prayers will help.

Pray also for all those who put the camps on – there are many camps for kids and teens throughout the summer to meet all the diverse streams with the Body in Israel. The leader of the Katzir camp, Eitan Shishkoff, injured his leg just as the teens began arriving for the camp. Pray for healing for Eitan who will also be leaving for a U.S. tour just days after the camp ends. All those who pour out their lives into the young people could use your prayers now.

Pray for Yeshua to walk among the kids, the teens and all the teams that are ministering among them in every one of the summer camps – and that the Holy Spirit would build them all up in the inner man with the presence of their King.

Pray for those teens who will participate in the Yad b’Yad programs with the youth of Germany and Poland, a ministry of reconciliation as they walk hand in hand through Auschwitz/Birkenau. Pray also for the teens that will be involved in camps that involve Arab and Jewish youngsters coming together to allow our children on both sides to experience Body life across 'fields of conflict'.

Succat Hallel, one of the 24/7 Houses of Praise that has planted in Israel and in several Middle Eastern nations, is preparing for its annual ELAV “unto Him”
Each of these summer camps is endeavoring to impart something of the magnificently huge love of Yeshua into the young believers. Worthy of prayer and support!

Another program for those who have graduated high school and are preparing to enter mandatory IDF service, is the excellent Netsor, or Guard, program. This will help prepare the 30 to 40 young people from believing families in Israel to make the adjustment from school days to military service – and walking it in the spiritual strength of the LORD. Please pray for these young people transitioning.

Continue to pray for ministry and staff of Revive-Israel in Jerusalem who are in the cross-hairs of a campaign to harass them for their faith. We have seen these tactics in Arad and other places, where no matter what the law says, they keep coming with harassment lawsuits, demonstrations, accusations, etc. Pray for Asher, and the ministry secretary and her husband, who have been dragged to the police station again after one court threw out the false charges of breaking anti-missionary laws.

Pray for the whole ministry, as well as other Jerusalem area ministries, as this spirit is like a wildfire that leaps out to other Messianic Jews in the area. Calev Myers of the Jerusalem Institute of Justice is the legal counsel for the Revive team. Pray for wisdom and favor as they appear before the police, magistrates, courts and media. Pray that what the enemy has meant for evil to be turned for good and the open declaration of the gospel/good news.

Thanks be to God for the praise report from Tents of Mercy for Arthur who received a head injury in an accident. Arthur is up, walking, talking and hearing perfectly with no permanent damage. His memory is undamaged and the family is rejoicing. The congregation is buoyed in faith. Arthur still needs prayer for the full restoration of his vision, and they congregation asks that his healing be a mighty testimony in the community.

This week Glenn Beck spoke at the Knesset in advance of his Aug 24 rally at Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem advocating for international support of Israel and opposition to terrorism. One Israeli ministry asks for prayers that the rally be a resounding success & an awakening in Israel to see how significant Christian support of Israel is to the nation. Another ministry said of Beck’s Knesset speech that he WOW-ed the Knesset. For such a time as this….

Asher Intrater writes briefly about how financial integrity in Christian donations in Israel is a longstanding conflict (Acts 6:1 for example). He asks, Pray for righteousness on these issues in order to further revival here in the land. It is the flip side of what I am usually pointing out – which is how Christian giving has been diverted from the gospel-proclaiming indigenous ministries of Israel to misdirected funding of traditional Judaism or political projects in Israel. In both instances, we will be accountable before God for where we have sown our ‘talents’ and how we have invested them.

Inside the Weekly Summary Ami Ortiz’ mom Leah shares about a Divine appointment they had with one of the sister-in-law’s of Purim bomber Jack Teitel. Super testimony. It has been 3 years and Teitel has still not been declared fit or not fit to stand trial for the attempted murder (and murder charges). Teitel remains behind bars, but as they were able to relate to Teitel’s relative, the Ortiz family are not chained in unforgiveness to his murderous act. Only Yeshua can give us that release.

David Ortiz also shares the good news that Bible Gateway has heeded his plea (and other letter writers) to stop referring Christians “to learn of their Jewish roots” from Rabbi Eckstein (Fellowship of Christians and Jews). May this mark a breakthrough in Christians listening to the Messianic Jewish believers when issues like these present….and there are so many! Read David’s letter to Bible Gateway inside the Weekly Summary.

Dear Ruth from Nahariya writes this month with a request for prayer of three close friends ranging in ages from 83 to 97 who need a revelation of Messiah. They’ve heard the gospel many times, and received the love of their friend, but it remains for God to reveal His Son. How many are on the doorstep of eternity in need of this revelation? We hear from Israeli ministry leaders for their own parents often.
Pray for God to open the eyes of the aged to Yeshua before the cross into eternity.

Many of the facilities for congregations across Israel are bursting at the seams and new venues are needed to hold the growth. It is a great need from fellowships that meet in homes, to even well known Israeli ministries. This is a great place to invest in the building of the Living Temple in Israel.

The Beckfords were scheduled for court last Monday, but it was cancelled and will be rescheduled. They face another court hearing on Sunday, July 17th. We have talked about it in the past, how weathered one becomes in a constant battering wind. Pray for Eddie and Lura, for the Lord to send a refreshing in the midst of the legal harassment of anti-missionaries against them.

From Netanya news that in the Fall two more congregations will be birthed out of the mother congregation. This is the fulfillment of a “dream” that has been waited upon for ten years. Please join in prayers “that the Lord will bring many to salvation in these new works.”

Several of the leading ministries in Israel are in need of vital staff members. Pray that the Lord would send into each position the exact person who will be blessed and be a blessing in that job. The cry this week from several ministries has been, LORD, send forth laborers for the harvest! Read one cry in the article Watching, working and waiting …for Laborers

In the midst of fostering relationships between brothers in the Lord – Arab and Jewish – in Israel, there is only skipping the hard-to-reconcile issues in disagreement for so long. Then it is important that enough relationship has been established as a ground work to pressing in to the more sensitive issues in discord. With that said, it is encouraging to read what Howard Bass wrote this week:

“I posted an article on War (re-titled Theology of War by the website managers) on the evangelical Arab Christian website out of Nazareth, Come and See. The review committhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifee has let me know that they do not agree with the view I am prhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifesenting, which does not surprise me, but I appreciate that they would publish it anyway. They do hope that it will create a discussion that will lead to empowering the kingdom of God. “

In a Post Script from Bass: "For the record, I myself refused to take up arms when I had to serve in the IDF, as I believed that was God's will for me. Israel didn't understand, of course, and neither did many of the believers. But, despite my own responsibility before God on the matter, it doesn't allow me to impose my own personal application upon the Scriptures (including NT) for everyone else, when it seems that the Bible allows for different responses."

David Lazarus Jaffa (Tel Aviv) Beit Immanuel Congregation Shares his blog thoughts Cruising with the devil , and a video called The Audacity of Dopes: “ I think it's great that Israelis can look at the funny side of these crazy cruises to the Gaza Strip. But really, this is no laughing matter.

KEY PRAYER POINTS FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
May be copied for use in Prayer Gatherings

Priority Prayer Focus
________________________________________

There are so many directions which this prayer is applicable – not only on the individual basis of perceiving Yeshua and His calling upon our individual lives, but also in application to the hope of His corporate callings upon the Christian church and upon “all Israel.”

Ephesians 1:8 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints

A follow up development in the anti-Messianic demonstration against believers in Jerusalem was reported: An American (Christian) reporter was present at this week's meeting. He has much experience reporting on persecution in the Muslim world. He called us and said, "I want to apologize. I thought your persecution was not real. Yet I experienced a fear here that I have never seen even in the face of Jihad radicals."

It is difficult, even for those working in the realm of Christian persecution, to come to grips with the reality of persechttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifution of Messianic Jews in Israel. Thank God this Christian reporter came face-to-face with the reality. Pray that he will be a firstfruits of the Church awakening to the Body in Israel.

Asher Intrater provides an instructive article, Missionaries, this week to help us understand the inflammatory accusations that religious zealots level against the believers in Israel. It also looks at the parallel experience between the current Body of Messiah in Israel, and those of the first century Israeli believers recorded in the Book of Acts.

If the Christian community at large understood these accusations, it would go far to remove the wedge of distrust of the Jewish believers these accusations create among Israel-supporting Christians. Pray for that wedge to be removed! Mark 3:24 “And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.”

Pray for the Summer Youth Camp Katzir which will be in progress July 10-19. This spiritual equipping camp has been making a deep impact on Israel’s believing teens for a decade under the direction of Tents of Mercy pastor, Eitan Shishkoff. Pray for all involved and for additional funds to cover every teen with a heart to be there. Ministries and congregations across Israel will participate in this fully-Israeli ministry cooperative.

We agree with the Maoz Ministries pray for the Katzir Camp: PRAY that God will stir these teenagers, and PRAY they will become torches of fire and light to bring the Gospel to their peers. PRAY that they will release hidden sin and grow strong in the Holy Spirit against the really pagan society that we have in Israel. PRAY for the safety of everyone involved in the camp.

Maoz Israel is increasing their staff with various positions opening for the right believer to fill. Pray that God will orchestrate the right person for each position – so all will be blessed.

Summer also means added challenges for the congregations and families with children. One prayer request we received was a bit of a shock: “Children are on a 2 month vacation. Please pray for safety while they are by themselves in their homes and fruitful time during the summer camps we have organized. We need more volunteers to help with the children and someone for the toddlers during service.”

Pray also for those believers throughout congregations in Israel who are seeking employment – that their gifts would make room for them according word of Proverbs 18:16, A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men. Pray also for those shepherds who are equipping their congregations in practical areas of life, like the Acco congregation planning job seminars and counseling in September and October.

Pray for unity in the individual congregations and in the Israeli Body at large. Times of growth and change often cause us to be like sandpaper rubbing on each other’s flesh. Pray for the likeness of Messiah to emerge from these times – growth in maturity and His likeness rather than mere friction.

The next Negev Conference that is scheduled for Nov 12 is in the planning and logistics stages right now. The organizers ask for prayers over all the details so the different flocks that come together will be a work of the Spirit and a testimony of Yeshua.

Pray for the pastor from Zambia who is coming to seek wisdom for key issues (maintaining liberty as believers, dealing with false teaching, the significance of Israel to the Church) from an Israeli pastor. He is a firstfruits of Zechariah’s 8:23 prophesy: "This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: In those days ten men from different nations and languages of the world will clutch at the sleeve of one Jew. And they will say, 'Please let us walk with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'"

Summer outreaches have begun and the entire Mediterranean coast of Israel is a huge opportunity to bless their fellow Israelis. Pray for those who will be on the beaches and in the inner cities reaching out to touch Israelis with Yeshua’s love. In recent weeks I read some complaints from anti-missionaries about those doing beach outreach. Pray for anointing of the Lord to be strong upon His people and for mighty things to be done in the name of Yeshua.

This was the prayer request of one ministry but certainly represents the situation of many in Israeli congregations: We are currently facing a critical shortage in finances to meet our on-going running costs for congregational salaries and maintenance expenses. Please stand with us as we pray 2 Cor. 9:8: “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”

Many Israeli ministries are touring in various places of the world over the summer. Pray that these times outside of the battle front which is life in Israel, will be fruitful in every way. These are an amazing group of people who in many cases have left behind their comfort zones to take their places in the harvest of the Lord’s vineyard of Israel. Agree with us for every grace to abound and Psalm 121:8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

Blind Spots in the Body
by Donna Diorio July 4, 2011

When Martin Luther emerged as a groundbreaking man of faith after nailing his 95 Theses on the door of the Church in 1517, he also believed that God would return salvation to the Jews. In 1514 Luther wrote:

"Conversion of the Jews will be the work of God alone operating from within, and not of man working — or rather playing — from without."

He had that partially right. We can't make anyone see if God has not given them eyes to see. God has to give the revelation to every man - Jew or Gentile - before they can see Jesus.

6 28 Arrows from Zion 2011

Praying in Agreement with the Israeli Body of Messiah
Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel
KEY PRAYER POINTS FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
May be copied for use in Prayer Gatherings

Priority Prayer Focus
________________________________________

1. A renewed campaign of persecuting Messianic Jewish believers is rising in Israel. This will be a focus for some time to come.

2. Unspoken prayers are catching our attention as a priority at this time. There is always more going on in the undercurrent or on a personal level than the believers can share publicly. The things that come to mind while you are praying for the Body in Israel are likely the unspoken needs.

3. Pray for the second generation of Israeli ministry leaders in the land. More and more are taking their places in positions of ministry and responsibility in the Body. Pray for every grace of the LORD to be upon them – so much will depend on them being comfortable in their own anointing and in their own feet being shod with the preparation of the gospel.

Arrows from Zion
________________________________________

Thank God for the prayers of the saints on behalf of congregation in Jerusalem that is being targeted for ultra-orthodox ‘attention’. The demonstration fizzled, turnout was low and the believers stayed away until everyone departed. For the moment the immediate threat past, but your continued prayers are requested for there is surely more rounds to come. This is a planned campaign against believers in the Jerusalem area, so please keep this on your prayer lists in the weeks and months ahead.

Here are a few general directions to be praying:

1. Rising persecution in all its forms begins to silence those targeted by persecution. Pray for God to impart wisdom to know when to speak and when to keep silent.

2. Pray for those wrestling with visa situations based on anti-messianic activists spying on them and making illegal reports to the Interior Ministry.

3. Pray for those who are being targeted by “lawfare” – using the law to wage “warfare” against the believers by wearing them down with stress, expense, etc., of being dragged to court on bogus charges.

4. Pray for the media which is like the media everywhere: there are those seeking the facts of a matter and those who are working an agenda. Pray that as believers are standing in the face of persecutions, that the media who are seeking the truth will be drawn to these stories and communicate the true facts to the Israeli public. Many are in the valley of decision.

A young family man in a congregation near Haifa has received a critical head injury in a car accident and is in an induced coma. (This hits close to home, as earlier this year, my grandson suffered the same and he is still struggling back from the brain injury six months later). Pray for young "A", father of 2 small children and husband of "E", that God will restore him mentally and physically, and raise him up as a mighty testimony to the power of Yeshua to heal and God’s love for the saints. Pray for the medical expenses to be covered fully in the name of Yeshua.

A yet-to-be-born baby has been diagnosed in the womb with a grave, complicated heart defect. The doctors want to abort, but the couple say they will bring the child to birth in August. Pray for this family and for the child who will undergo several complex operations to correct the problem. They need a miracle.

A congregation in a town near Netanya is enlarging its tents – and covering the “widows & orphans” at the same time with a new house of refuge that will open in August. Pray for this work to come together under the favor and blessing of the LORD and to establish many in the days ahead in a solid walk. This is up-close-and-personal discipling in how to live godly that it sometimes takes for a person to pull through. Pray for all involved.

The refuge ministry actually touches three ministries we cover in Arrows from Zion – a congregation and two small individual ministries working to make a difference in the lives of Israelis seeking the answer to life. Pray for "O" & "T" as their families move into a new situation in order to model Titus 2:4-5 to the women taken under their wings.

Mazal tov to the pastors of the Wellspring Congregation (Kehilat Hamaayan), whose son, Lior married his childhood sweetheart from the believing youth camps 10 years ago. We pray often for these children’s and teen camps for believing families and this wedding is certainly a mighty testimony of answered prayer. These summer camps are so key in the life of a healthy Body in Israel. Listen to excerpts from the new worship CD from Lior.

Pray for the congregations who are in the process of purchasing new facility spaces or in continued remodeling of facilities. We know of several that could use an answer to prayer for finances and other practical needs. Even in lack these congregations know they are to expand – for many are coming and continue to come to Yeshua throughout Israel.

As the second generation of Messianic leaders are continuing to emerge in positions of responsibility, pray for these young men and women to be filled with the grace of God. They stand on the shoulders of their parents in the work of the LORD in the land of Israel, and each one is a unique expression of Yeshua’s love for their countrymen. Please pray over them for every blessing and for double portion anointing of their fathers and mothers.

Pray for ministry staffs – for the material needs to be met of those who are in ministry and support positions. This is often on-the-job training, so pray that these laborers would be blessed with the confidence to stand in their positions, receiving God’s grace to minister to the congregations.

Employment is such a great need among all the Israeli believers – all the time. They are not in a slump that just began a couple of years ago, but in a slump unique to Israel where immigrants from all over the world are coming, learning a new language and settling in to a homeland that is the eye of an international storm since its re-birth in 1948. Pray for God’s favor on the believers for work – and needs to be met for those who suffer persecution attacks on their jobs.

The pro-Life movement in Israel is making a difference as many congregations have women’s shelters where women can bring their pregnancy to full term. Pray for the new life and for the mothers to be rooted and grounded in the love of Messiah through the shelter of His servants.

Pray for Kay Wilson who survived a stabbing attack that took the life of her friend Kristin Luken. Kay continues to heal but as anyone can imagine, still needs full emotional healing from the trauma. Also the trial is not proceeding quickly, which is no doubt a stress. Pray for God to turn what was meant for evil in Kay’s life, to be turned into good for her and glory for Yeshua.

Pray also for the Ortiz family who are also being strung along in a trial that never seems to get where it is supposed to be going – to accountability for the murderer and attempted murderer, Jack Teitel, and toward justice for Ami and his family, as well as the Arab families of men Teitel murdered.

Arrows from Zion 6 21 2011

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." Arrows from Zion can be shared freely, but we ask the Weekly Summaries not be forwarded. 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.

There is not an Israeli ministry alive that does not know the prophetic reality that they will be persecuted for bearing the gospel to their nation, Israel. That does not mean we are not to communicate to the worldwide Body when it is occurring, or that the Church should not take steps to speak up and otherwise act in support of the Body of Messiah in Israel.

This week we begin with reports on the new campaign of Jerusalem traditional rabbis against the ministry of Asher Intrater’s Revive Israel. According to Asher’s trademark pithy writing style: “The spiritual attack of religious persecution is three fold: Rejection, Intimidation, and Defamation. You could say they are trying to get RID of us.”

The truth is there is a gap in the biblical narrative of the Book of Acts: The persecution of Israeli believers in the first century is recorded in Acts 1-28 and chapter 29 onward is being written by those who share the truth of the stories of Israeli believers today.

The testimony in scripture is clear – the Israeli Body of Messiah needs the prayers and the material support of the Church in the nations. (Read through Asher’s observations about persecution from the Book of Acts in the Weekly Summary.)

Eddie Santoro, also an elder of the Ahavat Yeshua congregation adds: “Please understand at this point that an attack against any Messianic believer in Israel is an attack against all Messianic believers….. We praise God for the victory (in court) but were filled with a foreboding that this is just the beginning of a major attack against the believing community in Jerusalem.” Santoro also speaks to the parallels with the first century believers in the Book of Acts.

Santoro: “…what happens to the believers here in Jerusalem will have a direct impact on the Kingdom of God throughout the world. So with all of our hearts, we ask you to enter into this battle with us. Now is the time for the Body of Messiah throughout the earth to arise and come to the defense of the Gospel in Israel. “

As the Jewish Body of Messiah in Israel must deal with Jewish enehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifmies of the gospel, so also the Arab Christians in Israel and the Palestinian controlled areas are under threat from Arab enemies of the gospel. Israelprayer encourages our subscribers to pray for both groups of indigenous ministries in Israel, including our new friends and brothers at linga.org who represent the Arabic Christians of Galilee.

The number one prayer request for the Arab team ministry is for the safety of their members. We have seen the extreme dangers they face in order to bring the gospel to their nation, and urge prayers be lifted toward our ABBA for all the Arab Christian ministries – for safety, provisions, wisdom, favor and blessing of God upon all the work of their hands.

Read about the Nazareth Global Day of Prayer 2011 (in English) that was held June 12th. This event brought indigenous ministry leaders from around the country – Arab and Jew – to pray in unity for the salvation of their peoples. Many photographs from the event are also online.

Ron & Elana Cantor are transitioning the Messiah’s Mandate ministry from Tikkun Ministries (Juster/Intrater/Shishkoff) to the Sorko-Ram’s Maoz Ministries. The transition is a peace-filled one and Ron will be taking a lead role in the media vehicles of Maoz.

The Lotan’s, whose ministry sits on the “seam-line” of the pre-1967 Israel borders are issuing a call for three concentrated months of prayer and fastings into September when Palestinians have indicated they will declare statehood. Uzi points out that in forcing the U.S. to veto a U.N recognition of Palestine as a state, Palestine will be admitted to the U.N. as a State with no vote, by-passing the need to negotiate with Israel altogether. Read details inside to pray along with this prayer request.

In recent weeks, Israelprayer has noted all of the Israeli ministries are urging for more prayer from the nations in light of the seriousness of the situations the Body and the State of Israel is standing in. This is an across-the-board cry for YOUR PRAYER COVER and urging that we be prepared for the things coming next.

Paul encouraged the churches to support the believers in Israel, telling the Romans (15:26-27) “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 material things.” This truth has not passed away. Maoz Israel is one organization that urges blessing first the household of faith in Israel.

Ruth Nessim has a new book for children that explains “The Passover Lamb” from a Messianic perspective. I was so delighted that Ruth sent me a copy of this beautifully written and illustrated children’s book. Unsurprisingly, she reports that it has been an effective witnessing tool even with some older Israelis she has given it to. Pray for Ruth who is currently preparing for a July-Aug tour of the U.K.

Ruth asks for continued prayer for the believers in Arad, where her daughter and son-in-law pastor a congregation that has been the target of much persecution. Also pray for the Arab lady with a newborn that Ruth has given shelter to. The father of the baby was just shot to death in an Arab villiage, “part of an on-going spiral of violence,” Ruth reports.

The Jerusalem Institute of Justice, which represented Asher Intrater and a couple from the congregation in court recently, not only represents the believers in court cases, but also represents Israel in the courts of public opinion. JIJ has announced a counter-demonstration of the UNHRC Duran III conference in NYC.

Some alarming information about how the great Bible program “Bible Gateway” is encouraging Christians to connect with un-saved Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein to help Christians discover the “Jewish roots of their faith and deepen their spiritual lives.” SAY WHAT?! Doesn’t this deserve a letter asking Bible Gateway GM Rachel Barach what is going on?

David Ortiz in Ariel wrote to us: “I had a dream several months ago that the tactics of many anti-Messianic groups was not to destroy Gentile Christians but to use them for their own benefit by dividing and conquering. I'll be writing to Bible Gateway, to express my alarming concern. These things do not help the Body but allow someone who is not a believer to shepherd and guide the kehilah that Yeshua died for.”

Rightist MKs push new laws to crack down on NGOs deemed hostile to Israel

Radical Ultra-Orthodox Continue Abusing Their Power

Israel's radical ultra-orthodox 'Interior Minister' Eli Yishai is once again shamelessly abusing his power to cause division amongst Israelis.

Israeli Ministry Targeting So’Called ‘Sects’and ‘Cults’
by Joseph K. Grieboski Founder, THE INSTITUTE on Religion and Public Policy Huffington Post 05/31/11

On May 23, 2011, the Israeli Special Ministry of Welfare and Social Affairs Task Force on minority religious groups presented its report to the Minister of Welfare and Social Affairs, Moshe Kahlon. The Report derogatorily grouped together as so-called "cults" or "sects" approximately 80 belief systems and contains a blueprint for systematic, government-fueled intolerance directed at minority religious communities throughout Israel.

The Blood of The New Covenant Is On The Jewish People
By Howard Bass Beer Sheva 14 June 2011

When all Israel accepted God’s covenant at Mt. Sinai with all its holy and righteous commandments, they did not realize what they were really committing to when they said, “Amen” to put themselves under the yoke of the Law. When all the [Jewish] people cried out that the blood of Jesus should be on them and on their children, they did not realize the consequences and power the words from out of their heart and mouths would carry throughout the generations and millennia.

Praise God! On the cross, our Savior, the Son of Man, called out to His Father – and the Father of Israel (Ex 4:22) – “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” (Lk 23:34)

Arrows from Zion 6 15 2011

Praying in Agreement with the Israeli Body of Messiah
Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel
KEY PRAYER POINTS FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
May be copied for use in Prayer Gatherings

Priority Prayer Focus
________________________________________

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:2-3

Pray in agreement with this word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah – who saw our day and prophesied of the ‘coming in and going out’ interchange between the Gentile Christians in the nations and His Body of believers in the land of Israel.

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. Arrows from Zion can be shared freely, but we ask the subscription only Weekly Summaries not be forwarded. 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.

This week our friends at Beit Immanuel in Jaffa file an overview report of the interchange with Christians in the nations that captures the heart of God for the Body of the LORD in Israel and their spiritual family throughout the nations – May all the Body, being fitly joined together, be blessed coming in and going out in serving the purposes of God for the harvest that will follow this joining together.

For the LORD declared in Genesis 12:3 His intentions that hold true to this day, “… I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Many recognize today that Israel is not cursed of God, but blessed of Him, and when Israel enters into the Messiah – a path cleared by the prayers of blessing of the saints – a worldwide harvest will be poured out spilling blessing upon all the nations. (Romans 11:15).

This then is why the connection and interchange between the Christians in all the nations and THE BODY OF THE LORD in ISRAEL is such a powerful spiritual dynamic in this hour. It is a MYSTERY to many, and many more are not sure which Israel we are supposed to be connecting with – but among those Christians connecting with the Israeli Body of Messiah, the purposes of God in Him are being forwarded.

Over 100 prayer warriors joined together for the Shavuot-Pentecost prayer night called by Revive Israel – many leaders from north to south and a great contingent of young adult believers. Messianic pastors Eitan Shishkoff, Hanan Lukas, Ari Sorkoram, Shmuel Birnbaum, Simcha Davidov, Ofer Amitai, Yakim Figueras, and Guy Cohen gave short exhortations from the word of God. Teams from Sukkat Hallel, King of Kings, Dugit, Ohalei Rachamim, and Nazareth Prayer houses took part, along with the Revive Israel staff. Thank God for the joining together of many different ministries praying for spiritual revival.

The saints also gathered for prayer called by the Arab Christian Churches “Global Day of Prayer” in Nazareth. We have links to several reports on this gathering which is an invitation by the Holy Spirit for the Arab Christians and Messianic Jews to come together also as one new man in Messiah. Those who are able to join into this expression of unity of the Body, God Himself smiles on. Pray for more to overcome the internal arguments that hinder such abandonment to the will of God.

We received a good report from Howard Bass back from recent meetings “Down Under” noting of the Australian believers: “What we found to be the most encouraging thing for those who came to the conferences was that we kept Jesus/Yeshua as the primary focus. Israel's significance is connected to Him and to His coming again. If we minimize either Him or His return to establish God's Kingdom on Earth, then we will fall into any number of traps and pitfalls -- and scare people away from Israel-focused conferences and ministries, which are so important in these days.”

From our friends in the Evangelical Baptist Church of Akko comes this wonderful report of the Arabic Mothers Day that was celebrated in March among all the Galilee congregations. At the event where 1,200 women attended were many Muslim women – 280 of these women gave their hearts to the Lord! Praise God for opening hearts – and protecting these women, causing faith to multiply in their families.

Pastor Hani of the EBChurch in Akko is coming to Texas in August and has a prayer need for God’s favor on June 17 when he is interviewed for a visa. Pray this servant of the Lord is granted a visa – and that all his Texas dates will produce lasting, fruitful and ongoing relationships. (Read the Weekly Summary for contact information)

Praise God with the Kleins who have come to a good resolution in the pressures that were being mounted against their landlord and ministry. We rejoice with them as God unfolded a new way to them. Pray also for in-depth, ongoing spiritual connections in Germany, and now Great Britain, as well. We agree with the vision Arni holds of these two nations being critical SPIRITUAL allies in the harvest days ahead – the necessary spiritual connections being laid right now.

Pray for key positions in Israeli ministries to be filled with the right people – not so easy in a nation where the pool is very small of born again believers. Pray also for those in the congregations who are struck with serious medical issues – like undergoing chemo for cancer. Pray the Lord will send the gift of faith for healing among those believers struck with serious conditions – and for the testimony of healing to tip the scales toward faith in unsaved family members.

While in Norway recently, humanitarian aid leader Ye’shi Reinhardt suffered a heart attack and had 4 stints placed by doctors there. We praise God for sparing Ye’shi’s life – and agree with him in prayer for the funds to pay his hospital bill. The Word of God says that he who waters, shall be watered. As Ye’shi has been devoting himself to ministering to the needs of terror victims and Israel’s war-wounded, this is surely “watering” that shall be returned upon him.

Asher Intrater writes about the trial that began last week for the two teenage Muslims who murdered a Jewish family – including a 3 month old baby – by stabbing them as they lay sleeping. The young men showed no remorse for their actions whatsoever and Asher asks, “Were these youth simply deranged psychopaths or were they "normative" products of Islamic extremism?”

Not to step on his conclusion, but within the Palestinian societies in Gaza and the West Bank, even toddlers are trained up in hatred and seeing their own highest purposes in life to destroy the lives of Israeli Jews. Americans should also understand that these are the same teachings that children who attend a great many of the Muslim schools in the U.S. are also being taught about all “infidels.”

What happens in Israel doesn’t stay in Israel. What we in thehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif nations refuse to acknowledge Israel is dealing with, we soon realized have been visited on our own nations.

God’s Thoughts Revealed by Asher Intrater

God has thoughts that are above and beyond the thoughts that we have in our limited minds (Isaiah 55:8). The thoughts that God has that we do not yet know are called a mystery. Nothing is a secret or mystery to God; He already knows everything.
