    Prayer, Sabbath, 5 16 09 – Topic: Israel

    Israel:

    1.    That the Lord continue to bring more and more Jews into Israel: Ezek 11:17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel……

    Isa 11:12 He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.

    2.    That the Jews be born again:Ezekiel 11: 19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.KJV

    Jer 32: 37 I will surely gather them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety. 38 They will be my people, and I will be their God. 39 I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me for their own good and the good of their children after them. 40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me. 41 I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them in this land with all my heart and soul.

    Zechariah 12: 10 "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

    Rom 10:1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.   3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. NIV

    Rom 11:13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

    3.     That the world wide Christian community be FOR Israel and not join the nations in trying to make Israel  divide Jerusalem with her enemies :Zech 12: 2 "I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. ……6 "On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place. .... 9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.

    Zech 14:2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. 3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. …..9 The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name. …12 This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 On that day men will be stricken by the LORD with great panic. Each man will seize the hand of another, and they will attack each other.

    Ps 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem :"May those who love you be secure. 7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels." 8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be within you." 9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity. NIV

    4.    That we pray for Obama to have wisdom from God  in his meeting with Netanyahu this coming Monday! That Netanyahu stands FIRM in refusing to give any ground to the enemies of Israel and refuses to divide Jerusalem!

    This prayer request was in the End Time Handmaiden’s newsletter on 5 15 09, written by Gene and Marylois Little who live in Jerusalem, Israel:  Prime Minister's Netanyahu's visit to Washington D.C.   Next Monday, May 18th Prime Minister Netanyahu meets with President Obama in Washington D.C.  This first formal meeting between the two leaders promises to be anything but rosy.  The Obama administration is seeking to force Israel into a peace agreement that favors an Arab "solution."  According to media reports, National Security Adviser James Jones told a European foreign minister that the US is planning on building an anti-Israel coalition with the Arabs and Europe so as to compel Israel to surrender Judea , Samaria and Jerusalem to the Palestinians.
