5786/ 2026: “Prepare” Shifting, Alignment, and Breakthrough

We are in the month of Adar on the Jewish calendar. Adar signifies strength and power. This is also the most joyous month as we celebrate God’s victory over evil. The joy of the Lord is our strength. (Nehemiah 8:10)  Now is a good time to read the book of Esther. It is a good time to fast and pray as that Haman spirit that Esther and Mordecaai faced is now the face of the evil regime in Iran.

 Prayer Point 1: Pray against violence and terrorism in America - particularly against the sleeper cells and Muslim agenda of evil.

It was reported this week that Attorney General Bondi has moved to military housing because of death threats. She is joining Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Death threats, terrorism and violence are everywhere.

In America we have had 53 radical Islam plots since 9/11 that were either foiled by law enforcement or were successful in their mission to kill and destroy. Last 4 attacks beginning on:

March 1st of this year with the Austin, TX bar shooting, then on

March 5th the NYC attempted bombing that was allegedly ISIS inspired, Then on March 12th we had the attack on the Michigan synagogue and on the same day the attack in Norfolk, VA at Old Dominion University. The VA shooting suspect was a convicted ISIS supporter that was given a second chance by a woke judge that says “let them be”. Many of the attacks in America are being committed by naturalized citizens or children of naturalized citizens which says we have an assimilation problem and that some of our younger people are identifying more with terrorists and radical Islam then with America and her Judeo-Christian roots.

Psalm 54:1-5 (NLT) 1 Come with great power, O God, and rescue me [us] ! Defend me with your might. 2 Listen to my prayer, O God. Pay attention to my plea. 3 For strangers are attacking me; violent people are trying to kill me. They care nothing for God. 4 But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive! 5 May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an end to them.

Psalm 140:1-13 ESV “Deliver me [us], O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually. They make their tongue sharp as a serpent’s, and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet. The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah I say to the Lord, You are my God; give ear to the voice of my pleas for mercy, O Lord! O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle. Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; do not further their evil plot, or they will be exalted! Selah As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them! Let burning coals fall upon them! Let them be cast into fire, into miry pits, no more to rise! Let not the slanderer be established in the land; let evil hunt down the violent man speedily! I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy. Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence.”

Let’s all pray for our Homeland Security officers including ICE, our police, the FBI, and the CIA to root out evil, terrorist sleeper cells, lone wolves who hate America, the Muslim Brotherhood, and CAIR. Let’s all pray for The Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act to get passed in the House and the Senate as well as the Council on American Islamic Relations.

Prayer Point 2: Pray for repentance in America and in the Church

Jesus said in Luke 5:32 ESV “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”” Lord we have sinned as a nation and a Church. We pray for your cleansing tonight. We repent for our haughtiness, hubris, and arrogance, our independence, and boasting on our military might when it is you who protect and provide. You are Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, and Jehova Nissi, our banner of victory.

The apostle Luke said in Acts 20:21 “testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.” May we live out this assignment all the days of our lives to repent for the busyness of life and the laws we have allowed in our nation that just one generation ago would have been unimaginable. Forgive us Lord for our lack of awareness and diligence in teaching our children and grandchildren of your prophetic plans for the Jewish people and the land of Israel.

“Acts 11:15-18 ESV “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?” When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

Thank you Lord Jesus for granting us repentance that leads to life. We pray tonight that we would continue to repent even more as Holy Spirit shows to us all areas of weakness and sinfulness that we may repent and be healed.

Prayer Point 3: Pray for wisdom and understanding concerning God’s theology.

Pray for wisdom and understanding concerning God’s theology and eschatology among Pastors, Teachers, and leaders in churches. 1 Timothy 1:7 ESV “desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.” We pray that our church leaders would get revelation of God’s heart for Israel and the Jewish people. Jeremiah 29:11 ESV “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Those plans for Israel and America.

Lord, we pray that You would tear down mindsets and-theologies that are contrary to Your perspective on what has already taken place and what will unfold, about Israel. Concerning what will happen in the future, and the part that we play as kings and priests in America who possess Your Kingdom. Deliver us from an escapist and fear-based perspective of the future. Help us to have an understanding of the times and to know what we ought to do (1 Chronicles 12:32).

We proclaim that those of us who know You will be strong and carry out great exploits. We declare victory over the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Our willingness to give our lives for Your sake (Rev. 12:11). Give insight from your modern apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to guide your Ekklesia toward a hope-filled and victorious perspective of the future of Israel and Your Ekklesia. Raise “sons of Zion” who take God’s Word seriously in opposition to the humanism of the “sons of Greece.”

So, Father we pray the truth be preached from the pulpits and believers in America would not shrink back but rather rise up and stand up to lies and evil. In Jesus Name Amen.
