PRAY FOR ISRAEL
PRAY FOR ISRAEL TODAY as they fight for their right to exist. Hezbollah has stated their intent to destroy Israel and remove them from existence. God established them as a nation once again (read the Book of Ezekiel, chapter 37), and God will defend them. Let us be found standing with His people, not against them.
Praying the scriptures is a particularly effective way to pray, because we know that it is God's own Word.
KEEP NOT silence, O God; hold not Your peace or be still, O God. For, behold, Your enemies are in tumult, and those who hate You have raised their heads. [Acts 4:25, 26.] They lay crafty schemes against Your people and consult together against Your hidden and precious ones. They have said, Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be in remembrance no more.For they have consulted together with one accord and one heart; against You they make a covenant—the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,(the Arab people are descendants of Ishmael, and the Koran teaches that Ishmael, not Issaac, was God's chosen one) of Moab and the Hagrites, Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot [the Ammonites and the Moabites] and have been an arm to them. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! Do to them as [You did to] the Midianites, as to Sisera and Jabin at the brook of Kishon, [Judg. 4:12-24.] Who perished at Endor, who became like manure for the earth. Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes as Zebah and Zalmunna, [Judg. 7:23-25; 8:10-21.]Who say, Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God. O my God, make them like whirling dust, like stubble or chaff before the wind! As fire consumes the forest, and as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, so pursue and afflict them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your tornado or hurricane. Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek, inquire for, and insistently require Your name, O Lord.Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; yes, let them be put to shame and perish, (18) That they may know that You, Whose name alone is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.(Ps. 83 AMP)
Israel's Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger has initiated a worldwide call to prayer on behalf of the Israeli soldiers scheduled for Tuesday at 7 PM (12 noon New York time). It is more than just a prayer service, it is a call to return to God.We too call for the children of Israel to turn their faces and hearts to God and put their trust in Him.
MAY THE Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high [and defend you]; Send you help from the sanctuary and support, refresh, and strengthen you from Zion; Remember all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah [pause, and think of that]! May He grant you according to your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.We will [shout in] triumph at your salvation and victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in and boast of chariots and some of horses, but we will trust in and boast of the name of the Lord our God.They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright. O Lord, give victory; let the King answer us when we call.(Ps. 20 AMP)
Israel's trust is not in their military and its weapons. It is in the name of the Lord their God.
