THE JEWISH PEOPLE NEED THEIR MESSIAH NOW

The Jewish people need their Messiah, Yeshua, like never before.

The Time to Pray for the Shalom of Jerusalem is NOW!

We need to pray for Israel, Jerusalem and the Jewish people like never before.

The Jewish people need their Messiah, Yahshua, like never before.

As the madman of Iran stirs up more and more anti-Jewish hatred with his weekly calls to wipe Israel off the map, who is listening? It's like the late 1930's all over again when Hitler was making similar noises and no one in authority seemed to be taking him seriously.

The politicians of the leading nations of the world now, as then, seem not to be placing too much credence on the madman's vitriol.

The Church of God, now, as then, (with very few exceptions) seem not to be taking the madman of Iran too seriously.

They were wrong then and they're wrong now!

The political leaders and the Church leaders of today need to wake up and realize that the madman of Iraq is serious about his intentions to annihilate Israel . . .and he will probably try --sooner rather than later -- as the rest of the world looks on in amazement.

Is Israel the only nation on earth who realizes President Ahmadinejad and his paymasters, the mad mullahs of Iran, are deadly serious?

Not quite. America knows Iran is serious but are willing to sacrifice Israel on the alter of political expediency. Likewise, the UK. At this point in time they want to curry favor with the Arab/Muslim nations to help them in Iraq and to keep the oil supplies flowing to the US and the UK. They want an easy exit strategy from their war for political and financial reasons and they don't give a dam who gets led out to slaughter to achieve their selfish, self-centered aims.

I repeat: The Jewish people need their Messiah, Yahshua, like never before.

As opposition to their right to live on the Land God gave them increases, He is the only One who can help them. But He needs to hear them cry out to Him -- "Baruch Haba B'shem ADONAI -- Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD" -- before He comes back.

ADONAI tells us that Israel will be saved.

Praise God.

Can you think of a better time than right now for Him to reveal Himself to His people so that they, the apple of His eye, can "call upon the Name of the LORD?"

Please join us in praying for Israel, Jerusalem and the Jewish people. We have intercessory prayer for Israel every Friday evening between 6.30pm and 9.30pm GMT. Would you consider joining with us as we "Pray for the shalom (peace) of Jerusalem?" I know you will be blessed as you pray for the "Apple of GOD's eye." If you can't join us in person, you can join us in the Spirit, praying for Israel -- the people and the Land -- wherever you are.

Seek the LORD and pray that His will be done for His chosen people.

Please take the time to pray for all Jewish people, especially for those living in the Land. They need your prayer support.

If you have never done this before, the prayer below will help you start:-

Father God, we come in the precious name of Yahshua HaMashiach -- Jesus the Messiah -- to pray for the peace of Jerusalem; for the tranquility, safety, well-being, welfare, health, contentment, success, comfort, wholeness and integrity of Jerusalem, in line with Your Word (Psalm 122).

We pray for the sovereignty of Israel, that it rests solely with Your people, never shared, divided, compromised or surrendered. We pray that Your will be done, here on earth as it is in heaven, for Israel, the people and the Land.

We pray that Your people who are called by Your name would humble themselves and pray, and seek you face, and turn from their wicked ways, so that You would hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their Land. And give them victory over their enemies who are trying to annihilate them.

We pray for the innocent civilians of Lebanon, especially the Christian believers, who are tirelessly working, around the clock, in very difficult conditions, to help those who have fled their homes. We pray for their protection, strength and well-being.

We pray that the love of Yahshua HaMashiach, shining through the Lebanese Believers as they embrace, feed and shelter the displaced Arab people, will bring the Arab Muslims to know the Lord Yahshua. We pray that the Arab people would realize that Islam is a demonic spirit that breeds hatred and violence and that by renouncing it, repenting and accepting Yahshua as Lord and Saviour, they will be set free from the chains that bind them and enter into a new life.

We pray for the Israeli government, especially Ehud Olmert, the war cabinet, and the military leaders, that God will strengthen them with the necessary resolve to prosecute this conflict to the end, until at the the very least, Hezbollah and their puppet leader Nassan Hasrallah have been obliterated.

There seems to be a weakening in the resolve of the Israeli leaders; a fear of international pressure seems to be growing in the Israeli administration, so we pray against this spirit of fear and weakness in any of the Israeli leaders. Father, please strengthen these leaders, shape them like David and Joshua; and let the fighting forces of Israel become the fearsome Lions of Judah.

My LORD, what will it take to drive them back into the arms of the God of Israel. Your people need to wake up NOW and arise to their calling, to cry out to ADONAI, the LORD their GOD, the GOD of Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya'akov, to lead and direct them in this battle.

Perhaps this is a timely reminder for Israel and for each one of us that "our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"(Eph.6:12).

It is for such a time as this that we have come into Your Kingdom, Lord. Place Your mighty hand upon us to help us be Mordecai's who help the Esther's. . . to be voices calling out into the wilderness of today's Church and the world. Father GOD, let a people arise who cry out for their destiny . . .for the destiny of Israel . . .the people and the Land, and intercede effectively for Your plans and purposes in Israel and the Middle East region.

". . .As for me and my house, I will serve the LORD. I want to be embraced, consumed by You, LORD, for Your plans and purposes in these End Times. For this I dedicate myself to serve You and be used by You, for the benefit of Israel, the people and the Land".

Shalom aleikhem
Peace be upon you
