Intercessory/Listening Prayer (1 minute)

We, as intercessors are most effective when we are at rest in our inner being, confident in our identity in Him (as sons/daughters of the Most High God), and operating from a place of union with Him/agreement with heaven; and using our authority as His Children, seated in heavenly places with Christ, far above all principalities and power.

Ephesians 2:6 (NIV): "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus". (see Eph. 1 verses)

Colossians 3:1 (ESV): "If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God".

[Read Psalm 46]

Ps. 46 - Be Still and Know that I am God

{reflective prayer – sit quietly for 1 minute and listen); pray in agreement with what God shows you

[All Pray]

Repentance, travailing, and Fasting for Israel and America

Acts 13:16-24 “So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen. The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it. And for about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness. And after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance. All this took about 450 years. And after that he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’ Of this man’s offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised. Before his coming, John had proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.”

So, Paul is giving an overview of all that God has done for the Jewish people….God prospered them in Egypt and then He led them out of slavery and then God listened to them whine and complain for 40 years in the wilderness and then He gave them judges, and then they wanted kings and God gave them kings including King David who is described as a man after my own heart, who will do all my will ….and through King David God brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus. So here Paul is reminding the Jewish people after all God has done for you you still haven’t believed. John the Baptist has called for a baptism of repentance before the coming of our Lord Jesus as the Lamb of God. And now I believe we are at a time of repentance once again before the second coming of our Lord Jesus as the Lion of Judah.

PRAYER- So Father we repent for this spirit of unbelief not just among the Jewish people but among Christians too. Where Jews have said Jesus you are not welcome in the synagogue and even among some Christians we have said you are not welcome in the Church. Forgive us Lord for molding you into our version of what it means to follow Jesus. Forgive us for following preachers that water down your Word and your Lordship as Savior of the World. Forgive us Jesus as a nation where 60% of Americans now believe we should abandon Israel. Your Word says in 2^nd Chronicles 7:14 “if my people who are called by my name 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.”

PRAYER- So Lord we humble ourselves tonight, we repent for our wickedness, we ask you to hear our prayer, to forgive our sin and heal the land of Israel and America. We pray tonight Lord that a spirit of repentance would come upon Jews and Christians. Let it begin with each of us on this prayer call tonight. Lead us Holy Spirit to repentance.

EZRA 8:21, 23 “Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our goods. So we fasted and implored our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.” God responds to intercession and fasting.

Derek Prince wrote the book “Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting” We are living out a historical moment that through prayer and fasting can change the course of history as Rees Howells and his team repented, interceded, and fasted and helped bring WWII to an end.

Shameless Persistence in Prayer for the Gift of Holy Spirit

Counting the Omer is a 49-day biblical commandment [Leviticus 23:15-16] that connects Passover to Shavuot, bridging the physical liberation from Egypt with the spiritual receiving of the Torah.

Moving from Passover to Pentacost (from the Resurrection to the Ourpouring of the Holy Spirit)

Blessing: "Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu, Melech haolam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al s'firat ha'omer".

"Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the counting of the Omer"

[Read Luke 11]

Request for the gift of the Holy Spirit to be poured out in the Earth, in accordance with his promise from Joel and Acts 2 in these last days – upon all flesh.

-The food that our Friend has is the bread of His Holy Spirit – His fruit, His gifts, His wisdom, the unctions that always operate in agreement with the will of the Father. This is how we have whatever we ask – by asking according to His will, and the Holy Spirit is the vehicle to reveal to us the will of the Father. We need to ask for the Holy Spirit to enlighten the Church to the Father's Word and His Will in this time concerning all things, especially Israel.

Prayer: Lord, we ask for Your promise to be fully realized in our time – the Bread of Your Holy Spirit, so we can spread it before our guests and neighbors abundantly, especially our Jewish friends:

O TO BE LIKE THEE

1 O to be like Thee! Blessed Redeemer,

this is my constant longing and prayer;

gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,

Jesus Thy perfect likeness to wear.

Refrain:

Oh! to be like Thee! O to be like Thee,

blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art!

Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;

stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

4 O to be like Thee! Lord, I am coming

now to receive th’anointing divine;

all that I am and have I am bringing,

Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine. [Refrain]

5 O to be like Thee! While I am pleading,

pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;

make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,

fit me for life and heaven above. [Refrain]

HAVE THINE OWN WAY:

1 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way! Thou art the potter, I am the clay.

Mold me and make me after thy will, while I am waiting, yielded and still.

3 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way! Wounded and weary, help me I pray!

Power, all power, surely is thine! Touch me and heal me, Savior divine!

4 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way! Hold o'er my being absolute sway.

Fill with thy Spirit till all shall see Christ only, always, living in me!

Wisdom and Discernment, and the over President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu.

President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu are two of the most powerful people in the world. Some of you may have seen the X post that has been posted by President Trump today portraying him as Jesus. It is unknown if President Trump actually posted the AI generated picture or someone else did and then President Trump posted it on X or if the whole thing is a sham to make him look bad. It has been reported that the picture has since been deleted. I had a Trump hater send it to me first thing this morning asking “does anyone see anything wrong with the President posting something like this?” Meaning that Trump see himself as Jesus. Prime Minister Netanyahu has undergone similar accusations from the Accuser “the father of lies” As these men are leading two great nations we need to have them covered in prayer.

Someone posted in the IFA state leaders chat room asking the question “where are their spiritual advisors?” Couldn’t they see the controversy coming and guard our leaders against it? Let’s pray tonight that the Lord would send prophetic, godly guidance to them and that they would receive it. Proverbs 11:14 tells us “Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” So Father we pray tonight to surround our leaders with spirit filled advisors and not foolish counsel that shuns God’s word.

2^nd Chronicles 20:20 reads “And they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.”

We want to pray for discernment tonight to distinguish between false prophets and true prophets. That God would expose the wolves in sheep clothing Psalm 64:2 says “Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers,”

We want to pray for supernatural wisdom for our leaders. James 3:13-17 says

“Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” So Father we ask you to guard Trump and Netanyahu from jealousy or revenge, or any kind of selfish ambition for money or power, or fame or ego, or hubris or anything that would cause them to stumble. We pray that they would be open to reason, impartial, and sincere in all their negotiations and at the same time recognizing the history and track record of Islamic theology.

Persistence in Prayer to Seek Justice for Israel

[Read Luke 18]

-Seek Justice-The Father is not an unjust judge, but He gives us this parable to help us understand we should boldly come to the throne of grace to ask for justice. (Ps. 103 – He works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed).

[The Jewish people are an oppressed people group. They are a minority people group in the world. They are a persecuted and hated group. We know that the devil hates everyone, but in particular He despises the Jews. When we read history, even modern history, this becomes painfully apparent].

Let's pray, like the persistent widow, for justice for the Jewish people – for justice for those whose family was taken on October 7. For justice for the life that Israeli's have been living under for a solid month and a half now – a shelter-in-place order. They need to see relief from the constant threat of annihilation.

[Read Ps. 103]

The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

There is a need of great restraint on the ambition and so-called freedom of people in our time – there is a need for justice, and for those who hunger and thirst for righteousness in the Earth. People need the mantle and authority of civil restraint. They need the structure and boundaries to help protect them from destruction. They need the rules and civil order, not because it saves them spiritually, but because it keeps them from destroying themselves and helps them find the one with all the answers to their massive spiritual deficit – Jesus the Messiah.

Lord, we pray for justice. We hunger and thirst for righteousness, so that we might be filled. We know that our holiness, our rightness with You comes only through the blood of Jesus and the cross. We have no righteousness in ourselves. We throw ourselves completely at the mercy seat of Jesus. And we seek justice, not because we want to see others destroyed. Not because we want others to go to hell, not because we delight in criminals suffer for their crimes, but because we know that Your laws and civil order bring restraint upon the wickedness of humanity, in hopes that they will also come to know Your grace and forgiveness, Your healing and wholeness. We seek justice for Israel, justice for the Jewish people, because we don't want them destroyed. We don't want people murdered at a hanukkah celebration on the beach in Australia. We don't want synagogues and Jewish graves desecrated. We don't want Israelis to have to live for months in bomb shelters, unable to live their lives freely going to school, going to work, and enjoying the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

So, just like that widow, we bring our causes to You, as the supreme Judge of the Universe – we shamelessly keep coming to You, asking You to set things straight – declare those who are guilty to be so. Declare those who are innocent to find relief and vindication. We ask you to repay and bring vengeance in a way that only You can – in fairness, in love, and in truth.

Pray for The Fear of the Lord to come upon America and Israel

We pray tonight that the fear of the Lord would come upon all citizens of Israel and America whether they be Jew, Christian or some other religion.

Philippians 3:18-21 “For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.”

So Father we pray tonight for those that are enemies to the cross of Christ, those whose end is destruction who have their minds set on earthly things, we pray that they would be overcome with the fear of the Lord and the revelation of Yeshua as Messiah in Israel, in America, and around the world.

Psalm 33:18- “Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,”

Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!” We thank you tonight Father for not just giving us your only begotten son Yeshua for our salvation but also for the gift of Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and understanding as we intercede for Israel and America….. “Teach us your way, O Lord, that we may walk in your truth; unite our hearts to fear your name.”

“Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!”

We pray tonight Father that the fear of the Lord would come upon our children and grandchildren, especially as it relates to interceding for Israel and the Jewish people. So many have turned their backs on your chosen people, have listened to anti Semitic professors that have led them astray and their peers that have been duped into believing Israel’s enemies like Hamas and Hizbollah and the evil regime in Iran are actually their friends. Where they have trusted Influencers like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Candice Owens who come across as people that actually know what they are talking about and yet readily admit that when it comes to biblical truth they have no knowledge. We pray that the fear of the Lord would come upon all those that have led our young people away from the truth.
