Praying For Israel

Isaiah 62:1

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.

Jesus Himself will not return to earth until the Jews bless Him.

Matthew 23:37-39

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

The battle of Armageddon is a battle for Jerusalem

Jerusalem's Enemies to Be Destroyed
A prophecy: The word of the Lord concerning Israel.

Zechariah 12:1-4

The Lord, who stretched out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: "I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 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. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the Lord. "I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations.

Jesus will bring military breakthrough

Zachariah 12:8,9

On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord going before them. On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.

Zachariah 14:3

Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.

At the same time, Jesus will bring spiritual breakthough

Joel 2:32

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

Jesus will rule over all the nations from His throne of glory in Jerusalem

Psalm 132:13-14

For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying, this is my resting place forever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.

Our goal as a church is to be committed to see Israel walking in her full destiny according to the scriptures. We want to pray for the partner with Messianic Jews. The pouring out of the Spirit in Israel is a vital part of the end time harvest among the nations. We want to ask God to give us His heart concerning Jerusalem, His home town.

This should be on everyone's heart to pray for God's children especially the Jews, for He won't return until He the Jews know that He is Jesus Christ their Lord and Bless Him. All of God's children need to confess this with their mouth and heart, not just the Jews.

Our brothers and sisters are being hindered in finding the Lord because of the world around us, we live too much in the flesh and not enough in the spirit. Brothers and Sisters that live in the Spirit go out and help the ones that are lost so that our Family can grow. Show them the Blessings that comes with accepting the Lord as Your Father. He is mighty, wise and Love His children and will bless them as long as they believe in Him.
