PRAYER POINTS:

1. Ask Yahweh to reveal His heart of love for the Jewish people

One prayer point for intercessors focusing on Israel this August 12th to 13th, 024 is to pray for God’s revelation to be given to believers worldwide regarding God’s unswerving heart for Israel.

2. Ask Yahweh to pour out His Spirit upon the Jewish people

Another prayer point is for YHVH to pour His Spirit out on the Jewish people, including His heart and strategy for His people Israel, including Yeshua as Messiah.  This is extremely timely given the threats Israel faces today: threats of war from nations all around Israel - including Iran; a possible two-State solution contrary to YHVH’s plan, if portions of the West Bank are declared sovereign Israeli territory.

3. Focus prayers of mourning for what Israel has endured recently

As we all know, on the early hours of Saturday Morning October 7th, 2023 Hamas attacked Israel and killed over a 1,200 people that morning, and took over 240 people hostage. And they are using these hostages to “bargain“ for the release of Palestinian poisoners contained in Israel jails. Hamas is consistently attacking Israel out of Gaza since then, and the various cease fire agreements aren’t honored by them, still sending off rockets into Israel. And many countries in the rest of the world are also against Israel for retaliating, and fighting back, going into Gaza, to try and free those that have been taken captive by Hamas.

Even the cease fires have all been dishonored, and rockets are continuing being set off from Gaza into Israel. And all negotiations have been abandoned, and Israel being on high Alert with Iran planning to launch another attack on Israel on their time of fasting and Prayer - the 9th of Av

4. Repent of our own anti-semistism -- as Gentiles -- toward God's chosen people

What better time for you and me to confess our own or our nations’  sins of anti-semitism and to repent of our anti-semitism?  What  better time after repentance, as your Holy Spirit soars, to intercede to bring Yeshua’s  Hope and Life into Jewish minds and hearts?

Yeshua/Jesus Himself, died on the cross, to bring this enmity to an end, and making out of the 2, one new man - as the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:13-18

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.  For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;  Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;  And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:  And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.  For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 

5. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for the Lord to protect the people and the nation of Israel from enemy attacks and war during this time of crisis.

6. Pray that, during this time of crisis, Israelis and Palestinians alike, would all seek the LORD

Pray that both Israelis and Palestinians would seek the Lord and His help during this time of war, vulnerability, stress and turmoil. 

7. Pray for ALL Hostages still in captivity to be released and to return home safely with their families

Out of the original 240 hostages 116 are still unaccounted for. We are thankful towards God for making the release possible for every hostage that have been returned home. But we are continuing to pray and stand in the gap for the life of each and every hostage until everyone is brought back and re-united with their families. That not one more will die nor be tortured or killed by Hamas..!!

8. Pray for all of Hamas, Islam, and all of Palestine and surrounding Arabic / Middle East countries to come to Christ Jesus as their Savior and Deliverer, and for all Palestinian Christians to be rescued and saved from an almost certain death, being caught between Hamas & Israel fighters.

God has been moving mightily in the Midst of the Hamas fighter camps these past months to also save lives in miraculous ways of Hamas fighters and also innocent lives of civilians and children… with many testimonies that came through of how members of Hamas have found Jesus, and changed their ways, and came unto Repentance and Fully Converted to the Christian Faith. Please continue to keep them all in your prayers, as they all need Jesus just as the rest of the World and Israel needs Him.

And also keep the Palestinian Christians in your prayers too who are struggling to make a living in Palestine, or are fleeing from and/or hiding from Hamas in various areas and parts of Palestine continuously facing persecution and torturing as well as being killed/murdered, etc...

9. Pray for the Bride of Christ to Cleanse herself, and to come back into her rightful place of Humbleness and Submission before her Lord, through Repentance, through the washing by the Water of the Word - Eph 5

Eph 5:25-27   …. as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it;  That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That He might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 

Isa 59:1

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save;

Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear.
