Weekly Prayer (5/27)

Message: JennyLee Date: May 26, 2024   Audio:  [Voice of Fig] YouTube audio   

• Scripture Progress: Leviticus 25:1-26:2
• Companion Reading: Jeremiah 32:16-27
• New Testament: Luke 4:16-21

• Just as people entered the Promised Land in three days after 40 years of wandering, your progress and development will also have a divine acceleration. I go ahead of you. I am your defender. I am your shield. I am your protector. I am your avenger. You will have everything you need. Everything you lack is available in new supply for the next season. When you give your heart before Me, I will bring you to the right place, with the right people, and to do the right things. I lift up those who seek Me in secret places, and God lifts up those who care more about His presence than their platform. Those who walk through the wilderness, those who hide – they will be rewarded. They will inherit the promise. I am restoring your joy. I am calling you again. I’m complimenting your enthusiasm. I’m relocating you. I’m redressing you, I’m readjusting you, I’m rebuilding you.

• We have new roles, we are called, anointed, ordained for times like this. So we’re going to have to branch out into places, positions, roles, and relationships that are outside of your comfort zone. You will be asked to break into new territories and expand existing boundaries. You will encounter opportunities that may seem far beyond your education, experience, and abilities. You’ll find yourself in rooms you don’t feel qualified to be in. You will be asked to speak in situations you think you know little about. Look around you and you may feel inferior and inadequate. That’s why we need strength and courage.

The 7-week cycle keeps rising

Meditate on Crossing Over

• Abraham breaks free from idols

• Freedom from slavery in the time of Moses

• Joshua enters into the promise

• Jesus passed from death to life

• Crossing over is continuous separation, continuous death and resurrection, and continuous surrender. The process of continuous separation between the inner world and the world system. This is the pressing of the Gethsemane olives, this is the threshing of the wheat, the separation of the seeds from the seed coats. The seeds are buried in the soil and bear fruit. This is a daily struggle to overcome one’s own heart

Torah Highlights This Week

• Sabbath year

• Jubilee

• land

• Redeem house

• ransom

Earth’s Sabbath Year and the Return of the Jubilee Year

Leviticus 25:1-2 The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai: Speak to the Israelites: When you come to the land that I am giving you, the land will keep its sabbath to the LORD.

• This week’s theme is “On Mount Sinai”, the original text is “בְּהַר”, which means “on the mountain”. When the Torah mentions commandments, it always says, “The Lord spoke to Moses,” but only when it mentions “Sabbatical Years and Jubilee Years,” it specifically says, “The Lord spoke to Moses “at Mount Sinai,”” which shows that “the Sabbath” There is a special connection between the commandment of “Years and Jubilees” and Mount Sinai.

• When did Israel go up to Mount Sinai to receive the Torah? It means counting the seven Sabbaths, a total of forty-nine days, and entering into the Feast of Weeks, which is also Pentecost. God uses this as a microcosm to describe a larger festival, which is the seven Sabbath years, a total of forty-nine years, leading into the Jubilee year. These two models are like a wheel within a wheel, nested together. This is the time and festival of God’s kingdom.

• On Mount Sinai, God Moses communicated the law of the Sabbath year: every seven years, all work in the land should cease and its produce would be free for everyone, both man and beast.

• The seven Sabbatical cycles are followed by the 50th year, the Year of Jubilee, in which work on the land ceases, all indentured servants are released, and all sold ancestral property in the Holy Land is returned to its original owners.

• The Behar also contained additional laws governing the sale of land, as well as provisions prohibiting fraud and usury.

Cycle of 7

• The Sabbath is seven days for seeds

• Festival year cycle

• Sabbath year seven-year cycle

• Jubilee once or twice in a lifetime

• The Millennium is the Final Fruit of the Harvest

• All mankind and the whole earth

• The most surprising bestseller of 2014 was French economist Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century – a 700-page treatise on economic theory backed by massive statistical research. Intensive thesis—rather than the usual literature acquisition.

• Much of the book’s appeal lies in the way it documents a phenomenon that is reshaping societies around the world: In the current global economy, Inequality is growing rapidly. In the United States, the income of the top 1% of earners increased by more than 240% from 1979 to 2013, while the income of the bottom fifth increased by only 10%. Even more striking is the difference in capital income from assets such as homes, stocks and bonds, which increased by 300% for the top 1% and fell by 60% for the bottom quintile. Globally, the combined wealth of the richest 85 people is equal to that of the poorest 3.5 billion people – half of the world’s population.

• He argued that a market economy tends to make us increasingly equal: more equal because it spreads education, knowledge, and skills more widely than in the past, but also increasingly unequal because over time, especially In mature economies, returns on capital tend to exceed growth rates in income and output. Those who own capital assets get richer and faster than those who rely solely on labor income. Rising inequality “could threaten democratic societies and the social justice values ​​on which they are based,” he said.

• Isaiah Berlin pointed out that not all values ​​can coexist – in this case, freedom and equality. You can have one or the other, but not both: the more economic freedom, the less equality; the more equality, the less freedom. This was the key conflict between capitalism and communism during the Cold War.

• Unfettered economic freedom can breed dissatisfaction, and Piketty’s book is one of several warning signs.

• All of this makes this week’s Torah’s social legislation a text for our time, for the Torah is concerned not only with economics but also with more fundamental moral and human issues. What kind of society are we pursuing? What social order best reflects human dignity and the delicate bonds that connect us to each other and to God?

• What is unique about the Hebrew faith is its commitment to freedom and equality while also recognizing the tension between them. The opening chapters of Genesis describe the consequences of God’s gift of personal freedom to man. But since we are social animals, we also need collective freedom. Thus, in Exodus they describe Egypt as a society that deprived people of their freedom, enslaved the population, and subordinated the majority to the will of the minority. The Torah repeatedly explains its laws as a way to preserve freedom and to remember the deprivation of freedom in Egypt.

• In biblical times, the pursuit of equality was not fully realized. Biblical Israel had a hierarchy. Not everyone can be a king; not everyone can be a priest. But Judaism has no class system. It is not equivalent to Plato’s division of society into men of gold, silver, and bronze, nor to Aristotle’s belief that some are born to rule and some to be ruled. In the covenant community envisioned by the Torah, we are all children of God, all precious in His sight, and each contributes to the common good.

• The basic insight of this week’s Torah, which Piketty reiterates, is that economic inequality has a tendency to increase over time, and the result can also be a loss of freedom. People can become enslaved by the burden of debt. In biblical times this might have involved selling oneself into slavery as the only way to secure food and shelter. Families may be forced to sell their land: their ancestral inheritance from the time of Moses. The result would be a society in which, over time, a few people would become large landowners while many people would become landless and impoverished.

• The solution proposed in this week’s Torah is the regular restoration of people’s basic freedoms. Every seven years, the debts were released and the slaves of Israel were set free. After seven Sabbatical cycles, the Year of Jubilee will be a time when, with few exceptions, ancestral lands are returned to their original owners.

• So much so that the international campaign for debt relief for developing countries by the year 2000 was called Jubilee 2000, a clear response to our Jubilee Principle.

• Three things are worth noting about the Torah’s social and economic program . First, it is more concerned with human freedom than with a narrow focus on economic equality. Losing your land or being trapped in debt are real limits to freedom. The basis of the Jewish understanding of the economic and moral dimensions is the idea of ​​independence, as the prophet Micah said (Micah 4:4). Each one will sit under his own vine and under his fig tree, and no one will be afraid. We pray in church, “Do not make us dependent on the gifts or loans of others…so that we may not suffer shame.” It is a great insult to lose our independence and be forced to depend on the goodwill of others. Therefore, the provisions of this week’s Torah are not directed at equality but at restoring people’s ability to earn a living as free and independent individuals.

• Next, it takes the entire system away from the hands of human legislators. It is based on two basic concepts about capital and labor. First, the land belongs to God: “ Leviticus 25:23   The land shall not be sold forever, for it is mine; you are strangers and strangers before me.” Second, the same applies to people: “For they [the Israelites] are My servants, whom I brought out of Egypt, cannot be sold into slavery.” (Leviticus 25:42) This means that personal and economic freedom cannot be sacrificed . They are inalienable, God-given rights. This was the reasoning behind John F. Kennedy’s 1961 presidential inauguration, referring to “the revolutionary faith for which our forefathers fought,” namely, “the belief that man’s rights come not from the generosity of the state but from God.”

• Third, it tells us that economics is a discipline based on ethics . What matters to the Torah is not just technical indicators, such as growth rates or absolute standards of wealth, but the quality and structure of relationships: people’s sense of independence and dignity, the way institutions allow people to recover from misfortune, and the extent to which it allows members of a society to live in Psalm 128:2 “Eat the fruits of your labor, and it shall be well with you, and things shall go well with you.”

Conclusion

May some of our brothers and sisters be able to construct the Jubilee economic system, and most of us may live in the grace of the Jubilee. Your debts are forgiven, your land and property are redeemed, and you truly live in a free environment enjoying religious, financial, relationship, spiritual… freedoms.

Luke 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, and has sent me to proclaim deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, so that those who are oppressed may gain Liberty, proclaiming God’s acceptable year of jubilee.

Pray for Israel:  Light of Zion: DAILY PRAYER FOR ISRAEL AT WAR – 2024

Editor’s note: This article is reprinted from the “Daily Prayer for Israel at War” recently updated on April 24 by the “Light of Zion” ministry for your prayer reference. Here are 12 prayer points. May you pray for Israel, which is at war with Hamas. In addition, Israel is also informally at war with Hezbollah, which is supported by Iran in Lebanon.

【Prayer】

1. God’s Victory and Glory. Pray that God’s overarching purposes in Israel’s wars with Hamas and Hezbollah will be accomplished with the least amount of harm necessary to result in the greatest amount of good, for His ultimate glory. Praise the Lord, Captain of the Armies of Heaven, because His ways are not our ways; they are greater. May His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Psalms 100:4; 83, 2 and 33:10-12, Joshua 5:14, Matthew 6:10)
2.  Turning Hearts to God. Pray that in this time of deep trouble, many Israelis, Palestinians, Jews in the nations, and others affected by the wars would turn wholeheartedly to God. Pray that the true face and heart of Jesus would be revealed to them. Through the ravages of war, may He be sought, known and exalted in Israel and the Middle East. Pray for believers in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon and Iran to be renewed in Messiah’s love and strengthened daily in the Spirit. Ask the Lord of the harvest to raise up laborers for the harvest in Israel and the Middle East. (2 Peter 3:9, Psalms 27 and 23, Zechariah 12:10, Matthew 9:38)
3. Our Enemies: Hamas – Hezbollah – Iran. Pray according to Psalm 149:6-9 that God’s judgment be executed on Iran and terror groups dedicated to Israel’s destruction. Pray that Hamas and Hezbollah will be neutralized in order to set Palestinians, Israelis and others free from an evil Islamist regime. According to Zechariah 9:5-7, prayerfully proclaim that “Gaza will lose her king, [that God] will cut off the pride of the Philistines, … and take the blood from their mouths [so] those who are left will belong to our God.” According to Jeremiah 49:34-39, prayerfully proclaim that God will “break the bow of Elam [modern-day Iran], the mainstay of their might” and “set His throne in Elam.” According to Psalm 29:5, prayerfully proclaim, “The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars [symbol of lofty strength]; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon [Hezbollah].” Ask Him to reveal and give wisdom to Israel and other nations to implement heaven’s strategy for a post-war government in Gaza. Pray for divine direction and Israel’s supernatural defense against all forms of terror and military invasion. (Matthew 5:44, Amos 1:6-8, Daniel 2:21, Jeremiah 51:20-24, Psalms 27 and 91)
4. Israeli Authorities. Pray that every Israeli leader will remain in office for as long as God wants him or her serving in that office. Pray for the gift of the fear of the Lord on each leader, for divine wisdom, godly counsel, supernatural protection on all levels, renewed strength and strategic direction. Pray especially for our emergency war cabinet: PM Netanyahu, Mr. Gantz and Mr. Gallant. Pray they will receive accurate and supernatural intelligence to know what Israel should do, and when and how to do it. (1 Timothy 2:1-4, Daniel 2:21, Psalm 75:6-7, Proverbs 9:10-11, 21:1, Psalm 91, 1 Chronicles 12:32)
5. Unity. Pray for healing of the serious, internal disunity that has impacted Israeli society, politics and government leaders in recent years. Ask God to graciously convict us to forgive and love one another. May He neutralize demonic influences that stir up or finance hateful, civil protests by Israelis against our own government. Pray for unity among our governing leaders, especially our emergency war cabinet. Petition heaven to raise up authorities who will inspire the nation afresh according to God’s ways. Ask Him for peacemakers in Israel and the Middle East who fear His Name. Bless and pray for increasing unity in the Israeli ekklesia. (Matthew 12:25, Psalm 133, Malachi 2:10, Colossians 3:14)
6. Hostages. Pray for great grace to be released on each of the hostages who are still in Gaza. Petition for their salvation, protection, strength, comfort, endurance, health and quick, safe return. Pray abundant grace and patient endurance upon their families. Ask the Healer of Heaven for wraparound comfort and healing on the whole nation, as every Israeli has recently lost someone they knew or is grieving with those who grieve. May any ceasefire deal for the release of hostages in exchange for the release of terrorists from Israeli jails be just and righteous according to godly wisdom, and not the product of unsanctified mercy or appeasement. (1 Samuel 30:11-19; Psalm 23, Jeremiah 30:12 and 17, Zechariah 9:11-12)
7. Troops. Pray for daily renewed strength, watchfulness, angelic protection, precise and accurate intelligence, and anointing for effectiveness on each of our soldiers, military leaders and officials, security officers, police and first responders, and defense system technologies. Lift up the hundreds of Messianic soldiers in our armed forces, that the light of Yeshua would shine through them onto their fellow warriors. Ask God to help our troops avoid making mistakes that would harm innocent civilians or other Israeli soldiers. Pray for protection, strength, unity and anointing on Israeli warriors in the Spirit, Messianic Jewish and Arab Christian intercessors in the land. (Psalms 18 and 91)
8. Scope of War. Pray that the scope and duration of Israel’s wars will be limited, by the power of the Blood of Yeshua and His sovereign kingship, according to His will. May it not result in a world war out of God’s timing. Pray that US involvement and decisions made by President Biden will be led of the Lord and reflect His time to favor Zion, not forcing a premature end to the war. Petition for the same concerning other nations who supply Israel with military aid. As a result of Israel’s wars with Hamas and Hezbollah, may new and godly, international alliances form according to His will. (Daniel 2:21, Proverb 21:1, Psalms 46, 102:13)
9. Media War and Lawfare. Ask God to restore the love for truth that once characterized humankind. Pray for the exposure and uprooting of outrageous and hateful lies about Israel and the Jews which are reported daily in nearly all mainstream and social media, including some Christian media outlets. Bless media outlets that are reporting the truth. Pray for their protection and for an increase in their reach and effectiveness. Petition heaven for mercy toward Israel in the profound lawfare she faces in global bodies such as the United Nations and International Court of Justice. (Lawfare is the disingenuous changing of traditional and usually democratic, Judeo-Christian based laws in order to bring about major political changes that will reflect values contrary to current and traditional laws.) (Psalm 144:11, Exodus 20:16, Psalm 27:12-13, Genesis 12:3)
10. Spiritual Warfare. Pray the power of the Blood of Yeshua and Word of Truth over ongoing influences of witchcraft, occult manipulations, globalist influences and other supernaturally evil forces coming against Israel. Pray especially that our governing leaders, our military and the interceding Israeli Body of Messiah will be protected from powers of darkness. Beseech God to dismantle occult shields of protection over head leaders and operatives of Hamas and Hezbollah. Worship and praise the Lord! (Worship and praise can battle powerfully against powers of darkness in spiritual realms.) (Ephesians 6:12, Numbers 23:23, Zechariah 9:13)
11. Global Anti-Semitism. If led by the Spirit, repent on behalf of your nation or community for anti-Semitism. Beseech God to break the murderous spirit of Jew hatred rolling in the nations. Pray especially for the turning of hearts of young people exposed to genocidal anti-Semitism on college campuses and social media. Pray that international leaders at all levels and spheres of authority, especially in democratic nations, will courageously restrain incitement against Jewish students, Jews everywhere and Israel. Bless those leaders who speak out and stand up for the Jews. At the same time, ask God to use mounting anti-Semitism to encourage aliyah among Jews not yet living in Israel.
12. Global Ekklesia. Pray for the global Body of Messiah to stand firm in the love and truth of God’s Word in support of Israel, while also carrying His heart for Palestinians and others involved in the wars. Ask Him to raise up and bless an army of intercessors around the world who will fast and pray for Israel. Petition Him for direction and wisdom for Christians in the nations to quell anti-Semitism in practical, effective ways. Pray for revival, the only true antidote to the hatred of Jews. Last but not least, thank God for answering your prayers! (Matthew 5:14-16, Revelation 12:11, Matthew 25:31-40, Psalm 100:4)

Day Seven: Pray for the Global community of Jewish believers in Jesus  (5/25)

• Ezekiel 36:1-38 Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: Hear the word of the LORD, O mountains of Israel. This is what the Lord God says: For the enemy says, ‘Aha! These eternal mountains and hills are ours! ’ Therefore prophesy and say, This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because your enemies have devastated you and devoured you on all sides, so that you may become a property of the rest of the Gentiles, and the talkative people have spoken of you, and the people have made you a bad name. . Therefore the mountains of Israel shall hear the voice of the Lord God. The mountains and hills, the ditches and valleys, the ruined places and the abandoned cities, which are occupied and ridiculed by the rest of the Gentiles around you, this is what the Lord God says to you: My anger is like fire against the rest of the Gentiles. and all the people of Edom. Filled with joy and with hatred in their hearts, they regard my land as their own and as abandoned plunder. Therefore prophesy over Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ditches and valleys, This is what the Lord God says: I have sworn with anger and wrath, because you have been
  humiliated by the Gentiles. The Gentiles will always bear their own shame. This is what the Lord God says. “O mountain of Israel, you will send forth branches and bear fruit for my people Israel, for they are coming soon. Behold, I am your helper, and I will turn to you so that you can cultivate. I will make all the house of Israel I will multiply your people, your cities will be inhabited, and your deserted places will be built. I will increase your numbers, both man and beast. Then you will know that I am the LORD. I will make my people Israel go over you. They will possess you, and you will no longer cause them to lose their sons. For this is what the Lord LORD says. You say, “You are a devourer of people, and you have bereaved a nation of its children.” Therefore, says the Lord God, you will no longer devour people, and you will no longer beget a nation of its children. I will cause you to hear no more the reproach of nations. No more reproach from the nations will cause the nation to stumble, says the Lord God. “Then the word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, the house of Israel defiled the land by their deeds while they were in it. They behave like menstruating women before me, so I pour out my wrath on them because they shed their blood in the land and because they defiled it with their idols. Scattered among the nations, they punished them according to their deeds. And they caused my holy name to be profaned in all the nations where they went; for it is said of them, This is the people of the LORD, from the land of the LORD. out. But I cherish my holy name, which the house of Israel has blasphemed among the nations wherever it goes. “Therefore you shall say to the house of Israel, This is what the Lord God says: O house of Israel, it is not for you that I have done this. , for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, I will sanctify. Then they will know that I am the LORD when I am sanctified in you before their eyes, declares the Lord God. I will gather you from all nations and bring you back to your own land. I will sprinkle you with clean water. and you will be cleansed from your body. I will cleanse you from all filthiness and cast off all your idols. I will also give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you, and I will take away your flesh. I will give you a heart of flesh, and I will put my spirit in you , so that you may obey my statutes and keep my judgments, and you shall live in the land which I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God. I will deliver you from all your uncleanness, and I will give you an abundance of crops, and I will make your trees fruitful and your fields fruitful. So that you will no longer be ridiculed by the Gentiles because of the famine. Then you will remember your evil deeds and your evil deeds, and you will hate yourselves because of your iniquities and your abominations, says the Lord God. It was not for you, O house of Israel, be ashamed and disgraceful of your deeds: “This is what the Lord God says: In the days when I will cleanse you from all your iniquity, I will inhabit the cities and build them up again. Although passers-by see it as a deserted land, this deserted land still needs to be cultivated. They will say, “This was a desolate place, but now it has become like the Garden of Eden; this desolate, ruined city is now fortified and inhabited.” ’ Then the rest of the Gentiles who are around you will know that I, the LORD, restore the ruins and cultivate the desolate places. I, the LORD, have spoken and I will do it. “This is what the Lord God says: I will increase the number of the house of Israel as a flock. They will ask me for this, and I will do it for them. How many are the flocks that Jerusalem sacrifices at its festivals, So the desolate cities will be filled with people, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
• Romans 11:21-24   God did not spare the old branch, nor will he spare you. It can be seen that God’s kindness and severity are severe to those who fall, but he is kind to you, as long as you remain in His kindness; otherwise, you will also be cut off. And if they had not been unbelieving for a long time, they would still be grafted in, because God is able to graft them in again. You were cut from the wild olive tree, and if you were grafted into a good olive tree against your nature, how much more will the branches of this tree be grafted into this tree!

【Prayer】 Pray for the return of Jewish people to the Land of Israel and the restoration of the Jewish people to the Messiah of Israel, Jesus ( Ezek. 36, Romans 11:21-24 )

• Matthew 3:1-2 At that time John the Baptist came out and preached in the wilderness of Judea, saying: 3:2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

Day 9:  Pray for Unity in Messiah among Arab-Jewish people  (5/27)

• Genesis 25:12-18 The son Hagar, the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham was Ishmael. The names of the sons of Ishmael are listed below according to their genealogy. The eldest son of Ishmael was Nebaioth, and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibishan, Mishmah, Dumah, Massah,
  Hadad, Temah, Itud, Nafish, and Kedemah. These were the names of the sons of Ishmael, who were the heads of the twelve tribes according to their villages and camps. Ishmael lived one hundred and thirty-seven years, died, and was gathered to his fathers. The residence of his descendants was on the east side of his brethren, from Havilah to Shur, which is before Egypt, on the road to Assyria.
• Isaiah 19:1-25 Apocalypse concerning Egypt: Behold, the LORD is coming to Egypt in a swift cloud. The idols of Egypt trembled before him; the hearts of the Egyptians melted within. I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, nation against nation. The spirit of the Egyptians will be exhausted within them; I will destroy their counsel. They will consult idols and those who cast spells, those who converse with spirits, and those who practice witchcraft. I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; a violent king will rule over them. This is what the Lord Almighty says. The waters of the seas will cease, and the rivers will dry up. The rivers will become foul; all the rivers of Egypt will be reduced and dried up. The reeds and reeds will fade away; the pastures by the Nile and the fields planted along the Nile will wither. The crops were blown away by the wind and disappeared. The fishermen will weep. Everyone who fishes in the Nile will mourn; everyone who casts a net on the water will become weak. The workers of the fine linen will be ashamed, and the weavers of the white cloth will be ashamed; the pillars of the kingdom will be broken in pieces, and the hearts of all the servants will be troubled. The princes of Zoan were extremely foolish; Pharaoh was a wise counselor, but his plans turned out to be foolish. How dare you confront the Fa? They may know the purpose of the Lord of hosts for Egypt, and may they tell it to you! The princes of Zoan became foolish, and the princes of Noph were deceived. He who was the chief cornerstone of the tribes of Egypt caused the Egyptians to go astray. The LORD put a perverse spirit into the midst of Egypt; and the princes caused error in all the works of Egypt, as a drunkard staggers when he vomits. Neither head nor tail, palm branches nor reeds will succeed in their work in Egypt. In that day the Egyptians will be like a woman; they will tremble and fear because of the hand of the LORD Almighty who is over Egypt. The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt, and whoever mentions the land of Judah will be afraid. This is because of the purpose of the Lord of hosts for Egypt. On that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt, speaking in Canaanite tongues and swearing by the Lord of hosts. One city will be called “the city of destruction.” In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD on the border of Egypt. These will be a sign and a sign for the LORD Almighty in the land of Egypt. The Egyptians cried out to the Lord because of their oppression, and He sent a Savior as their protector to save them. The LORD will be known to the Egyptians. On that day the Egyptians will know the LORD, and they will worship him with sacrifices and offerings, and they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill their vows. The LORD will smite Egypt, smite and heal, and the Egyptians will return to the LORD. He will answer their prayers and heal them. In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will enter Egypt, and the Egyptians will enter Assyria; and the Egyptians will
  worship the Lord together with the Assyrians. In that day Israel will be one with the three kingdoms Egypt and Assyria, and it will be a blessing to the people of the earth; for the Lord of hosts will bless them, saying, “Egypt, my people, Assyria, the work of my hands, Israel, Blessed is my inheritance!”

【Prayer】Pray and prophesy a restored relationship between Jewish and Arab people as a loving relationship to these two “brothers” so that they will come together in unity to worship the God of Israel  (Genesis 25:12-18; Isaiah Chapter 19)

Day 10: Pray for the Spiritual Revival of the Jewish people and the nations  (5/28)

• Romans 10:1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is that Israel may be saved.
• Romans 11:28-32   Concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but as to election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. Because there is no regret for God’s gifts and calling. You once disobeyed God, but now you have received mercy because of their disobedience. In this way they also were disobedient, so that because of the mercy shown to you, they also may now receive mercy. For God has imprisoned all men in disobedience for the purpose of having mercy on all men.
• Ezekiel 36:24-28  I will gather you from all the nations, gather you from the nations, and bring you back to your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; I will take away your heart of stone from your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you, so that you may obey my statutes and keep my judgments and do them. You will live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You shall be my people, and I shall be your God.
• Romans 11:12 If their fault is the riches of the world, and their want the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness be?
• Hab 2:14   The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

【Prayer】 Pray for the fresh mercies of God to be poured out upon the Jewish people and ultimately upon all nations ( Rom. 10:1; Rom. 11:28-32; Ezek. 36:24-28; Rom. 11:12; Hab. 2: 14 )

Critical Event: Prayer Guide for “The Lord’s Word Over the Nations”

Editor’s Note : This article is a prayer guide for the Lord’s words to the nations translated by God’s Kingdom Resources . This was released on May 1 by Cindy Jacobi on behalf of the Council of Prophetic Apostolic Elders. This prayer guide is in response to the Lord’s words to the nations previously released by the Prophetic Apostolic Elders Council (represented by Cindy Jacob), and will launch a seven-day global prayer campaign starting on Monday , May 6 ( details Please click here ), a prayer guide to help you pray. The following is the content of the prayer guide:

Introduction to the Prayer Guide

When Paul the Apostle wrote to young Timothy, he said, “But know this, that in the last days, grievous times shall come” (2 Timothy 3:1 ASV). 

It doesn’t take a prophet to realize that our nation and the nations of the earth are in serious trouble. There are raging wars and threats of even greater worldwide conflict. Plus, economic instability, riots, and protests are all off the charts. Now, we are experiencing the re-emergence of antisemitism propagated by ill-advised university students calling for a socialist revolution, which is unbelievably misguided, tragic, and demonic. From a historical standpoint, this hearkens back to the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany, the rise of the communist revolution, and even the violent Islamic takeover of nations across Asia.

Today’s prophetic voice is God’s way of crying out and waking us up. He warns because He is a God of mercy.

In his time, the prophet Jeremiah’s heart-broken lament was:

“Oh, that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people” (Jeremiah 9:1 NKJV)!

What can we do? The same! God will hear the heart of the broken and contrite. It is time to bow our knees in prayer, change our hearts, and return to our merciful and mighty God who will turn our brokenness into rejoicing.

We are at a critical tipping point. We must join together in crying out for God’s mercy through our brokenness. I implore you to call out to our Father, not just one time, but until we see His Hand turn this evil around and restore us to His mighty purpose.

This prayer guide is designed to provide a framework for interceding effectively and strategically for the dire issues outlined in the “Word of the Lord for Nations”, released by Cindy Jacobs and the Apostolic Council for Prophetic Elders (ACPE) on April 25, 2024. Drawing inspiration from the Scriptures and guided by the leading of the Holy Spirit, we will delve into specific areas of concern, repentance, and petition. We will address both personal and corporate sin, seeking forgiveness, healing, and transformation for ourselves, our families, university campuses, communities, and our nations.

Day 1 – Day of Repentance

“… ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand’” (Matthew 3:2 NKJV)!

Whenever God calls us to pray over a severe issue, like this one, that could cause the dissolution of our freedoms as we know them, The Almighty requires us to start with personal inspection, cleansing, and repentance; He requires a solemn alteration of heart and mind.

To fear the LORD is to hate evil. The LORD hates pride, arrogance, evil behavior, and twisted speech (Proverbs 8:13).

The Spirit of the LORD speaking through Peter made it clear that a change of heart, repentance, begins first in us, His Church. We are His household; it will start with us!

“For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News” (I Peter 4:17 NLT)?

We must return to the fear, respect, and awe of God in every area of our lives. We must return to holiness, standing apart from the perversion of this world, to stand before the Holy One of Israel in our petitions! We must cry out the same way King David did as he wrote, 

“Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts, and see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way” (Psalms 139:23-24 AMPL). 

Cleansing from Unforgiveness:

• “Forgive us the wrongs we have done, as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us” (Matthew 6:12 GNT).
  
  Allow the Holy Spirit to bring to your mind those you need to forgive and those who have wronged you. Ask for the conviction of the Lord to rise in you over any unforgiveness. We know that if we harbor sin in our hearts, God will not hear us!

• “Watch over each other to make sure that no one misses the revelation of God’s grace. And make sure no one lives with a root of bitterness sprouting within them which will only cause trouble and poison the hearts of many” (Hebrews 12:15 TPT).
  
  Bitterness can develop from long-standing unforgiveness. The result is often doubt and unbelief. Let the Lord show you if anger or resentful feelings toward a person or situation have created bitterness in your soul. Cry out to the Lord to give you the courage to forgive and release that one, plucking this crippling sin out at the root, restoring hope and passion for intercession.

• Remember, the Lord is not asking you to stay in an abusive situation, but He is asking you to let go of resentment. Then, ask the Lord to touch your wounded heart and heal that place in your life. Ask Your Heavenly Father to direct you to the next step in your healing.

Our Personal Prayer:

• Merciful Father, search me and show me where I have fallen into compromise, disobedience, and become misled. Reveal all sins that have led me down the wrong path. Show me where I have ignored Your Word, that I may return.

• Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.  Wash me clean from my guilt.  Purify me from my sin. For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night (Psalm 51:1-3; NLT).

• Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me (Psalms 51:1-3, 10-11 NLT). [Take a minute to talk with the Lord about any specific personal sin.] Thank you, Lord, for the cleansing blood of Jesus which has washed me clean today. Amen.

Day 2 – A Call for Corporate Repentance: The Sins of the Church

The next step is to come together in corporate repentance for the sins of the Church and the sins of the nation. Individuals, of course, can pray the prayers in these sections, however, the power of agreement with others brings results. Assemble a gathering for prayer at your church, work, school, or even a Zoom call with others.

We will begin by repenting for the household of God.

We read earlier that “Judgment begins at home” with His family (I Peter 4:17). His Church is the household of the Redeemed. Let’s begin here by repenting for the Church, of which we are all members, and therefore take responsibility for her sins.

It is important to note that we cannot address unholy acts of violence and sins of disunity and division among the nations when we ourselves are guilty of the same sin. 

Corporately, we, God’s people, as His Church, need to come together and cry out for mercy and forgiveness, returning to the true worship of God in Spirit and truth. It’s time to call for a solemn assembly and return to the Lord in humility and brokenness (Joel 1:14, 2:15).

Let’s pray these prayers in unity together for the Body of Christ:

Unity and Reconciliation Among Believers

• Holy God, forgive us for competition and division within Your Church. We pray for a spirit of unity and reconciliation among believers across denominational, racial, cultural, and generational lines, repenting of divisions, factions, and sectarianism within the body of Christ.
• Oh Lord, break down walls of division and mistrust, fostering a spirit of love, humility, and mutual respect among Your people.

Commitment to Holiness and Discipleship

• Lord, we pray for a renewed commitment to holiness and discipleship within the church. We repent of compromise, worldliness, and lukewarmness in our pursuit of You, God, and Your kingdom.
• We ask You to raise up leaders and mentors who will disciple and equip believers to grow in maturity, faithfulness, and obedience to Christ.
• God of Mercy, forgive us, Your Ekklesia, those called out by You, for becoming lukewarm and abandoning our first love. We have been distracted and have run after and pursued other loves.
• We have too often focused our worship on ourselves rather than giving You all the glory and honor, which You so deserve.  Forgive us, Lord.

Empowerment for Ministry and Mission

• Many times, we have faithfully prayed, but have we not done all we can to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and destroy the works of the evil one (1 John 3:8). God forgive us.
• Mighty God, we pray for empowerment for ministry and mission, repenting of complacency, apathy, and self-centeredness in our service to God and others.
• Forgive us for becoming complacent in taking the Good News to our co-workers, schoolmates, friends, and neighbors. God, anoint Your people with boldness, wisdom, and compassion to proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and demonstrate the love of Christ in word and deed (Mark 16:15).
• Forgive us, Your Church, for having a form of godliness but neglecting the power of God to save, heal, and set the captives free (2 Timothy 3:5).

Renewal of Passion for Prayer and Intercession

• Heavenly Father, we pray for a renewal of passion for prayer and intercession in the Church, repenting of prayerlessness, distraction, neglect of spiritual warfare, and communion with God.
• We ask You, Lord, to stir our hearts with a burden for the lost, the suffering, and the nations, mobilizing Your people to pray fervently and persistently for Your kingdom’s purposes to be fulfilled on earth. In the Name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Day 3 – A Call for Corporate Repentance: The Sins of the Nation

God is merciful, but when a nation’s walls are down through the sins of her people, that nation is vulnerable to the takeover by hostile nations and their ungodly ideologies (Deuteronomy 28:49).

God is looking for a Church without spot or wrinkle to stand in the gap for our nations.

“So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one” (Ezekiel 22:30 NKJV).

We need multitudes to come to Jesus and see our land healed.

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (II Chronicles 7:14 NKJV).

The Lord of Hosts is the only army that can destroy the enemies of His people (Romans 13:1-7). When we stand with Him, He fights for us.

“You will be secure under a government that is just and fair. Your enemies will stay far away. You will live in peace, and terror will not come near. If any nation comes to fight you, it is not because I sent them. Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat” (Isaiah 54:14-15).

As Daniel cried for his nation of Israel, let us come together and pray as one voice for our nation:

Lord Almighty, You are Great and Awesome; You keep Your covenant of love with those who love You and keep Your Word. But we and our leaders have sinned and done wrong. We and the people of our nation have been unfaithful and turned away from Your truth; we have become rebellious, refusing to obey You.

Now all this disaster has come on us because we have not sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to Your truth. Our sins and iniquities have made us an object of scorn to all those around us. But You, Lord our God, are forgiving. You, O God, are righteous and good in everything You do.

Have mercy, Lord. Look with favor upon us once again and heal our desolation. We do not make requests of You because we are without fault, but because of Your great mercy. Lord, forgive me and the people of my nation! Now, Gracious Father, hear our prayers. Mighty God, do not delay because our nation and Your people need Your help and deliverance. Christ, have Mercy! Lord, have mercy. Come forgive our sins and heal our land. In the priceless Name of Jesus.

It is my heart that the Lord would supernaturally move upon us to travail and weep before Him for the sins of our nation. Tears are often a sign of true brokenness and repentance. An acceptable sacrifice to God is a broken spirit. He will not reject a broken and repentant heart (Psalm 51:17 NLT).

Ask God to break your heart over the sins overtaking your nation, such as: Repentance for Idolatry and Materialism

• Lord, we have made comfort and pleasure more important than walking right before You. We ask Your forgiveness for the widespread idolatry we have made from materialism that permeates our nation throughout society, leading many of us to prioritize wealth, and worldly pursuits.
• Lord, we have committed wickedness before You by shedding innocent blood and becoming complicit and compromised. We have sought our comfort and not Your heart.

“Tell the city what I, the Sovereign LORD, am saying: Because you have murdered so many of your people (children) and have defiled yourself by worshiping idols, your time is coming. You are guilty of those murders and are defiled by the idols you made, and so your day is coming; your time is up! That is why I have let the nations make fun of you and all the countries sneer at you” (Ezekiel 22:3-4 NLT).

It is time NOW to take seriously this WORD of the LORD. As it was valid for Jerusalem…it is true for us. We must return in repentance to the Lord of mercy and truth.

Repentance for Killing Babies in the Womb

• Lord, You hate “A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood” (Proverbs 6:17 NKJV).
• Merciful Father, we have committed that which You hate through the murder of unborn babies. We have allowed evil by not speaking up for the child in the womb. We have allowed unspeakable evil to overtake our children. Have mercy upon us and give us the courage and wisdom to stop the bloodshed. Forgive us, Lord, and heal our land.
• Father God, renew our hearts and give us boldness to stand with You to protect life from conception to natural death.
• Lord, give us wisdom to elect leaders who will advocate for the rights and protection of the unborn and the most vulnerable in society.

Trafficking of Women and Children

• Oh God, enslavement is rampant across the nations of the world. It’s time to cry out for the women, young men, and children who are bought and sold, then discarded, for the pleasure of vile men. So Father God, we cry out to expose and end the sex trafficking of women and children in our cities and nation. Bring an end to pornography and sexual perversion that permeates our media, entertainment, and internet. 
• Forgive me for my complacency by turning my head rather than speaking up and making a stand against this plague. Bring conviction and healing to lost and broken hearts.
• Bring justice forward by addressing the systemic harm and inequalities this sickness brings in areas of education, healthcare, entertainment, and employment.

Restoration of Moral Integrity and Family Values

• Lord, we ask You to empower us and our children to restore moral integrity and family values into our culture. We repent for neglecting and contributing to the erosion of Your godly values and normalizing immorality, promiscuity, and generational brokenness.
• Forgive us for the degradation of marriage and family, and for abdicating our children’s education to ungodly teachers and school boards.
• Holy God, please strengthen marriage and family, empower parents to raise children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, and instill biblical values of love, respect, and responsibility. Lord, we ask all these things in the merciful Name of Jesus, our Lord. Amen.

Day 4 – Corporate Prayer for Sins Against the Jews/Antisemitism

We know that God chose a people out of all the nations of the earth for Himself. He calls this unique people His beloved nation, Israel (meaning “The One Who Prevails with God”), and from the tribe of Judah (meaning “Praised One”). As we know, Jesus, the Savior of the world, was born of this very tribe and nation.

The misguided idea of replacement theology is rampant in some churches and nations. Replacement theology says that the Jewish people are not unique to God anymore because they have been “replaced” by the Church.   

But the Bible tells us that the nation of Israel will endure for all generations (Jeremiah 32:35-36 GWT).  “And I will dwell among the children of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel” (1 Kings 6:13) 

All the people of the earth are to bless God’s beloved Israel and pray for the peace of God to come upon that nation. The Bible tells us that those who bless Israel will be blessed.

“I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in You all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:2-3 NKJV).

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May they prosper who love you’” (Psalm 122:6 NKJV).

Throughout history, the Jewish people have been hated for their special place as God’s chosen people. Plots to annihilate them have risen throughout the ages. We are called to pray blessings upon them, asking the God of Israel to open their eyes to see and their hearts to receive His redemption through their Messiah Jesus. We are called to stand in the gap in prayer for Israel as the spirit of anti-Semitism is rising among the nations once again.

According to Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Spirit of Amalek is the principality that is coming against Israel. We see this is the same spirit that Saul was supposed to deal with. Because he did not, it grew until it manifested through Haman the Agagite, who was a descendant of Agag, the King of the Amalekites.

Prayer for Israel and against antisemitism:

• Father God, have mercy on our nation and people who have held antisemitism and anti-Jewish ideas and hatred in their hearts. Remove the veil from their eyes and break the spirit of deception off them.
• Father, forgive us for every word we have spoken that brings curses, not blessings to Your people, Israel, and heal their land.
• We pray for the protection of Israel, and we ask You to open the eyes of the Jewish people to their Messiah, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
• We pray for victory and triumph for Israel against all forms of hostility and opposition, both on university campuses and in the broader global context.
• Deliver Israel from those empowered by the spirit of Amalek that has pursued Israel historically and is manifesting against them now. Thank you, Lord for freedom once and for all from this historic spiritual enemy.
• We declare Your promises of protection and blessing over Israel, trusting in Your faithfulness to fulfill Your Word and defend Your chosen people. We pray these things in the eternal Name of Jesus. Amen.

Day 5 – Prayer for University Campuses

 It is no secret that while we have been sleeping our universities have been taken over by other anti-Christ ideologies. The generations are literally rebelling against Israel and the Jewish people. We are aware that no nation is perfect, but violence against the Jewish people must not be tolerated.

Pray against antisemitism on our college campuses: Forgiveness for Hatred of the Jewish People

• Father, we stand in the gap for our universities and university students. Father, forgive their hatred and animosity towards the Jewish people!
• We hear in their chants those who want to utterly destroy Israel and the Jewish people when they cry, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” This is the call for the genocide of Israel and the Jews.
• Father, we now repent for the defilement of our streets and universities through that death chant. Cover this sin with Your precious blood, and forgive the student protestors who, knowingly or unknowingly, are making this decree.
• Father, we declare the Spirit of Amalek illegal on our college campuses and in our cities, in Jesus’ Name.

Protection for Jewish Students and Allies

• We pray for the safety and protection of Jewish students and faculty and those who support Israel amidst the tensions and hostility on campus.
• Oh Lord, surround them with Your angels and grant them wisdom and discernment in their interactions.

Divine Intervention

• We pray for divine intervention to disrupt and dismantle the anti-Israel protest encampments, bringing an end to their influence and activities on campus.
• Lord, reveal Your truth and righteousness, causing confusion and division among those who seek to promote hatred against Israel.

Hearts Opened to Understanding

• Heavenly Father, we pray for the hearts of those participating in the anti-Israel protests to be opened to understanding and empathy.
• God, soften their hearts and grant them revelation of the truth about Israel and the Jewish people, dispelling misconceptions and prejudices.

Peace and Reconciliation

• We pray for Your peace and reconciliation to prevail on university campuses, replacing hostility and division with understanding and respect.
• We ask You God to raise up peacemakers who will bridge the gap between opposing groups, and foster dialogue and reconciliation.

Wisdom for University Leadership

• Lord, we pray for wisdom and discernment for university administrators and leaders as they navigate the challenges posed by anti-Israel protests on campus.
• Guide them in implementing policies and initiatives that promote a culture of respect, tolerance, and understanding.

Exposure of Manipulative Agendas

• God of Light, we pray for the exposure of manipulative agendas behind the anti-Israel protests, revealing the true motivations and intentions of those involved. We declare there is nothing covered that will not be revealed or hidden that will not be made known (Matthew 10:26).
• We pray that the proliferation of radical Islam and Marxism would cease, and that students will learn the truth about Hamas and other terrorist organizations.
• We call upon You to thwart the efforts of individuals or groups seeking to incite violence or sow discord under the guise of activism.
• Lift blinders of deception off the eyes of students who attach emotionally to issues with youthful zeal but may not understand how they are being used and manipulated. Show them the truth, Lord. Save and deliver them, in Jesus’ Name.

Revival and Awakening on College and University Campuses

• We pray for a revival and awakening among university students, faculty, and staff, leading to a renewed understanding of God’s love for Israel and His purposes for the nation.
• God of Light, lift the veil from the eyes of those who are deceived so that they may see and perceive the truth and be open to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• Lord, raise up bold witnesses who will proclaim the truth of Your Word and the importance of standing with Israel in these critical times. We rejoice in advance of the revival, awakening, and great harvest of souls we will see, Lord! Thank you, Jesus, Lord of the Harvest. Amen!

Day 6 – Prayer over Global Alliances

The Lord highlighted Russia desiring to overtake Europe through Ukraine. And China is also a threat to world security, desiring to control Taiwan, Korean, and other countries in Asia.

The Lord warned that while the nations of Iran, Russia, and China could align as an expanded axis of evil, the Caliphate of Islam could eventually take over. The fervent intercession of a repentant Church is the only way to keep this greater ungodly alliance from forming, and to prevent World War III.

And in the middle of all of this is the nation of Israel, the “Apple of God’s Eye”.

Intercession for the Nations: Stopping the Caliphate and World War III

• Father, break up the axis of evil that would cause Word War III, and keep it from occurring. Hold the enemy back from manipulating times and law as in Daniel 7:25.
• We pray for a spirit of humility to prevail among world leaders, guarding them against pride and arrogance that can lead to hasty and reckless decisions.
• Stop the expansion of the Caliphate and the power-grabbing connections of Iran, Russia, and China. Keep radicalized Muslims from carrying out a jihad in our cities and schools and nations. (We are aware that not all Muslims are radicalized, and we must not abuse or harass them.) Give them dreams and visions and introduce them to the One they are truly fighting against – Jesus, the Living God.
• Oh Lord, God, expose and thwart the schemes of those who promote ungodly alliances and agendas that threaten global stability and peace. We pray for protection against manipulative influences that seek to exploit divisions and sow discord among nations for selfish gain.

Wisdom and Discernment for World Leaders

• Lord, we lift world leaders before you and ask that they be filled with wisdom and discernment as they navigate complex geopolitical challenges and relationships.
• Oh God, grant them insight into the true intentions and motivations behind potential alliances, guiding them to make decisions that align with Your will and purposes.
• Give them strength and boldness to resist and break up these ungodly alliances and the existing axis of evil.
  

Protection Against Terrorist Attacks

• Lord, protect us from terrorist attacks. As Your Word tells us, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalms 46:1 ESV).
• Protect our cities, schools, national monuments, historical sights, and government offices from all forms of terrorist activities.
• May Your hand of protection be over our infrastructure – bridges, electrical and telecommunications grids, dams, and water supplies, etc. You are our Protector, Jesus, and we thank You for Your loving care for us. Amen.

Use of Military Intervention

• Father, we know that Israel had to go to war in response to a terrorist action against them. In this case, war was necessary for the protection and preservation of their people. Open the eyes of the world to see this truth, and give Israel’s leaders courage, wisdom, timing, and quick success.
• We pray for the protection of Israelis and for a swift return of the remaining hostages. Lord, comfort their families.
• Father, we grieve the loss of innocent lives in Gaza, and pray for protection of those who do not support the terrorists.
• Lord, the innocent in Lebanon and all the areas surrounding Israel need Your protection, especially Believers in these countries.
• Lord, we ask for a quick and merciful end to the Israel/Gaza War.
• In other situations, Lord, we ask for restraint in the use of military force as a means of resolving conflicts, recognizing the devastating impact of war on innocent lives and communities.
• We pray that the first course of action between nations would not be war, when unjustified. We ask for a de-escalation of international conflicts where it is possible.

Divine Intervention and Protection

• We call out to You, Lord, for divine intervention and protection over the nations of the world, especially Israel, shielding them from the threat of war and conflict.
• We declare that the media will speak the truth, and all twisting of truth in our airwaves will stop. Your Word says, “Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit” (Proverbs 12:17 ESV). This deception is fueling upheaval in our nations, Lord, empowering the Caliphate, radical Islam, and communism. It is turning hearts against Israel. Deliver us, we pray!
• We ask You to intervene supernaturally to diffuse tensions, resolve disputes, and bring about reconciliation and healing among nations divided by ideology, history, and geopolitics.
• You are Government personified, Jesus, so we look to you to raise up righteous governance over the nations. Your word tells us, “The people rejoice when the righteous rule” (Proverbs 29:2a, KJV). Thank you for peace and safety in Jesus’ Name, amen.

Day 7 – National Revival and Spiritual Awakening

Time and again throughout history, there is documentation of revival and awakening following intense times of repentance and intercession. The Bible tells us, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:15; KJV).

We have spent the previous days in intense introspection, asking God to forgive us for all known and hidden sin, first in ourselves, then in the Church, then in our nations. God bends low and listens when this type of intercession is occurring. You have been used as an instrument of His grace in the earth. Now, from that place of righteousness only found in Him, through the shed blood of Jesus, and in the power of His resurrection, passionately petition Him on that throne of grace for worldwide spiritual awakening and a great harvest of souls!

Pray for revival and awakening in your nation:

• Lord, we call out to You for a massive spiritual awakening in our nation. Lord of the Harvest, we ask You to send a powerful revival of the Church and a national spiritual awakening, igniting hearts with passion for Jesus Christ and His kingdom.
• We ask You, God, to pour out Your Spirit afresh, convicting hearts of sin, drawing people to repentance, and transforming lives with Your love and power.
• We pray that the eyes of our government leaders, university presidents and professors, and leaders in every sphere will be opened to the gospel.

 “Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord!  Awake as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are You not the arm that cut Rahab apart, and wounded the serpent? Are You not the One who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a road for the redeemed to cross over? So, the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness; sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (Isaiah 51:9-11 NKJV).

Hear our cry, and deliver our nations, Lord. Release the harvest from the hold the enemy has had over multitudes of souls. Make us ready to disciple this fresh harvest, and the nations of the earth, in Jesus’ glorious Name! Amen and amen.

Pray for First Nations and Native Americans: First Nations of North American Leadership Conference 

Editor’s Note: This article is excerpted from what Lynda Prince, the grand Chief of Canadian First Nation, shared at the Vancouver Indigenous Prayer Meeting last Tuesday (5/7) (please click here for the audio). We have reported on her and her ministry several times in the past (for details, please click to read: “Drums of Revival” on  2021/5/24 ).

【Current events: On February 1 this year, under the leadership of the “Indigenous Coalition For Israel” (ICFI), the Indigenous  Embassy held a simple opening ceremony in Jerusalem (To read related reports, please click here ). The purpose of establishing the Embassy is to help change the perception of indigenous peoples around the world, as Palestinians falsely claim that there is no evidence that Jews lived here before 1948 and that Jews came to Israel as colonial invaders. The establishment of the embassy at that time became an urgent antidote to this wrong statement.

The organization is currently led by a core leadership team who plans to hold a grand opening ceremony in Jerusalem at the end of October this year (the exact date has not yet been determined), inviting indigenous people from all over the world to dress in their traditional costumes and bring gifts. To Israel, stand with Israel, speak out for Israel, and support God’s chosen people.

Lynda Was Invited to Serve as a Core Advisor

After the Indigenous  Embassy was established in Jerusalem in February, Lynda received an invitation to serve as an advisor to the Israeli Indigenous Embassy, ​​planning and promoting the grand opening ceremony at the end of October, as well as the future development of the Embassy. Before that, Lynda was still bedridden and unable to walk. She sought the Lord, “Lord, if You want me to take on these assignments, then heal me, You need to send someone.” God sent an African pastor to minister to her. When the African pastor laid his hands on Lynda, he realized that she was under witchcraft attack by many witches who united to kill her. When the pastor prayed for her, Lynda felt something left her that day, and her body recovered greatly.

After Lynda attended the core team meeting of the Indigenous  Embassy for the first time last Tuesday (5/7), she learned that there were five people in the core leadership team, including Dr. Sheree Trotter, the New Zealand Maori indigenous leader named by the Israeli government, Hon. Alfred, an Indigenous leader who is a former New Zealand MP, and two other outstanding and respected leaders. When she learned that she was one of the five core leaders of the Embassy, ​​she felt deeply awed and humbled that God had placed her in such a position! She knew that this was a calling from God.

In fact, as early as 1999, when she led 100 North American indigenous people to meet with some Israeli parliamentarians, she expressed her hope to establish an indigenous embassy in Israel. No one responded at the time, but it has happened today, 25 years later – during Israel’s most difficult time. Later, someone said 25 is 5 times 5. It is the time of God’s favor and God’s destiny.

The Origin of the “FirstNations of North America Leadership Summit”

Lynda felt that this was a very important call for the indigenous peoples, so she was moved to convene a gathering of North American indigenous peoples, the “First Nations of North America Leadership Conference”, inviting people from North America, Canada, the United States Indigenous leaders attended to share the importance of the Indigenous  Embassy in Israel, and through them to convey this vision and message to their own indigenous groups. She believes that this Embassy belongs to the indigenous peoples of all countries. Whether they are believers or those who have not yet believed in the Lord, she hopes to convey to them the importance of the Indigenous Embassy in Jerusalem.

She originally thought it was just a small gathering, gathering only the indigenous leaders with whom she was connected, and inviting some Chinese family members and intercessors who have been walking with her to stand together, so she decided to hold a gathering in Muchleshoot from May 27th to 29th.

Unexpectedly, after the news was sent out, many people responded. Indigenous people from other countries were also interested in participating. Even the other four of the five core leaders of the Indigenous Embassy would come to participate. Rick Ridings, leader of the “Jerusalem House of Prayer”, indigenous people from Fiji and Africa will also come in response to the vision and commission given to them by the Lord.

Lynda saw that this was God at work, and that His intention was greater than she could have imagined.

Promote Indigenous Peoples from Various Countries to Support the Jerusalem Embassy

Lynda believes that this gathering will become a model that Indigenous people from other countries can take back and promote in their countries, conveying the importance of supporting this Indigenous  embassy and the message of the opening of the Indigenous Embassy in October. She hopes to use this to call on more people to participate, especially Christians. Of course, non-Christians who have received the vision and support Israel are also welcome to participate in the event and bring comfort to the Jews. When the natives of the nations wear their costumes, bring gifts from the natives of the nations to Israel, and honor Israel there, the eyes of the Jews will be opened, they will be greatly moved, and their hearts will be touched, preparing their souls. of harvest.

While Lynda was sharing, an intercessor saw a vision: representatives of indigenous peoples from all over the world surrounded the Jews, and remnants from all countries surrounded the indigenous peoples. After aligning with God’s will, a portal to the sky opened, and the glory of God fell from heaven and filled the whole earth.

The importance of Embassies to Indigenous  People

This embassy is also very important to the indigenous people. Recently, when Lynda shared with the indigenous people of North America, they originally felt exhausted physically, mentally and spiritually, like sheep without a shepherd and without direction. But through the Indigenous  Embassy in Jerusalem, the Indigenous people can see clearly that they have a calling and destiny, especially because of the suffering of the indigenous people in the past, they can understand the suffering of the Jews; and the Jews also know that the indigenous people have gone through suffering, and they are not the same as the indigenous people. There is something in common. The indigenous people understood that their past suffering also had a purpose and could now be a blessing to Israel. Suddenly, the spirits of the indigenous people were awakened and restored, and they felt God’s call to them at this moment.

Lynda said that this has become a revitalizing force among indigenous peoples in various countries, and a great inspiring force. She longs for more indigenous people to follow God’s call and begin to spread this vision among various indigenous groups. Prepare the indigenous people to go to Israel in order and according to the protocol to honor the Jews at the end of October with protocol gifts. In this matter, let the indigenous peoples of the nations unite to satisfy God’s will.

How to Help Fulfill God’s Intention This Time?

Lynda herself had just experienced the power of death and resurrection because of God’s call. A prophet also told her that this was just the beginning. Since recovering from her illness, she has been organizing everything non-stop, raising funds, venues, contacts, speakers, posters for the gathering, as well as preparing travel expenses and accommodation for a few special guests. She needs a lot of help, and is particularly eager for intercessors to pray for this gathering. She invites intercessors to participate, pray at the gathering, and receive and see God’s deeds together.

The East Coast and Vancouver families understood that the Native Americans were the key to the restoration of the United States & Canada, knew that they were related to the Chinese by blood, and realized that God wanted to use Chinese to support the Native Americans. Therefore, we have been walking with the Native Americans for many years to help them fulfill God’s calling and mission for them. Here are a few areas where we need support.

• Pray for the Gathering: Gela, the Indigenous prayer leader, is gathering representatives from various countries to pray for the gathering. We will also be gathering Chinese intercessors to pray (in Chinese). If you are moved to join the intercession, please send your name, email address, phone number, city (country) etc to ydd1227@yahoo.com and we will contact you with the details.
• Financial Support: If you are moved to financially support this gatherings, family members in the United States can donate through Kingdom Alive Ministries, and family members in Canada can donate through the Vancouver Christian Renewal Fellowship using one of the following methods. All donations will be forwarded to Linda’s North American Native Ministries for funding the gathering.

May the children of God who have been inspired by God Himself gather together the remnants of His nations to respond and participate in the grand event!
