Prayer Points

The pressure on Israel it to divide its God-given inheritance seems to increase with every proclamation from the leaders of this world. Prime Minister Benjamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu needs to make many hard decisions, so he desperately needs intercessors to pray for him. He is God's appointed man to lead this nation at this time. Yet he cannot do it without God's grace and strength to uphold him.

• Abba, we thank You for Bibi. We cannot think of anyone else in the current political scene who could deal with this position today as well as he is doing - although we do not agree with every decision he makes.
• Lord, provide him with all the wisdom and strength he needs to do that which is in line with Your will.
• Hedge him in from making any decisions that are not in line with Your will for Israel at this time. A man's heart plans his way, but YHWH directs his steps. (Proverbs 16:9)
• Abba, in line with that word that You gave us at this year's prayer conference, turn Netanyahu's heart towards Yourself (Psalm 80:3, 7, 19).
• May the fear of You come upon him mightily and release him from the fear of man (Proverbs 29:25).
• Bring back to him the lessons he learned from his pro-Zionist father and from the death of his brother.

• Let Your hand be on the Man of Your right hand, on the Son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself.

  Psalms 80:17

• Protect Bibi from all the wiles of the enemy - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. But You, O YHWH, are a shield for me; my glory, the One who lifts up my head. (Psalms 3:3)
• Surround him with wise counsel (Psalm 1:1; Proverbs 15:22).
• Turn Sarah, his wife, into a blessing and source of strength for Bibi.

 

We prayed next against the threat of an Iranian nuclear device, which an independent security think tank says could become a reality within months.

• I will set My throne in Elam [ancient Persia = modern Iran], and will destroy the king and the rulers from there, says YHWH. (Jeremiah 49:38) Lord, thank You for watching over the first part of this word - as many Iranians are coming to know Yeshua. Now watch over the last part - and 'destroy' Iran's current Islamic Shiite fundamentalist leadership, removing their scepter of authority.
• Lord, rip the sheep skin off from Iran's new 'moderate' president Hassan Rouhani.
• Bring the next round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 to nothing very quickly, and use it to remove all excuses from Western leaders to want to continue with their useless negotiations.
• As You trapped Haman in ancient Persia when he had plotted to wipe out Your people, so trap all of Iran's current leadership who also have hatred in their hearts towards Israel and the Jews.
• Raise up Mordecais and Esthers to plead with You to overturn modern Haman's anti-Semitic plans.
• Abba, bring Israel's leaders into one accord concerning what Israel needs to do with regard to Iran.
• If that includes Israel attacking militarily, then provide all the IDF needs to do the job completely.
• Yeshua, Captain of heaven's armies, as You did with Joshua (Joshua 5:13-6:5), specifically impart Your divine plans and tactics to Israel's current leaders.
• Prepare Israel to deal with all of the negative 'fallout' on the morning after any Israeli attack. Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My Law; do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their scorn. (Isaiah 51:7)
• If Israel attacks, let the fear of Israel's God fall on all of the nations of the Middle East (Esther 9:1-2).

• Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; also let those who hate Him flee before Him…Lord, scatters the people who delight in war.

  Psalms 68:1,30

• We thank You for making it obvious that Israel cannot depend on anyone other than You and itself to defend this nation at this time. And we thank You that You are all Israel needs (Psalm 20:7-9; Jeremiah 31:10).

The planned release of 104 unrepentant terrorists with Jewish blood on their hands - just to entice the Palestinians to sit down and talk with Israel - is deeply agonizing to us and most Israelis. We wonder what that 'worst choice' that Defense Minister Ya'alon hinted at actually was. Was it a threat or a promise from America? The way Ya'alon said it, hinted at some sort of threat. Regardless, the Israeli cabinet voted for this totally unjust decision. Still no one has been released yet, so we pray much against it.

• Abba, whatever it takes, prevent this travesty of justice from going forward.

• You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which YHWH your God gives you.

  Deuteronomy 16:20

• Lord, You have overruled man's plans in the past. Do it again. YHWH brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He breaks the plots of the people. (Psalms 33:10)
• God of true justice, lock the jail cells and throw away the keys so that none of these vicious terrorists are ever released. Lift up Yourself, Judge of the earth; give a just repayment to the proud. (Psalms 94:2)

• He is the Rock; His work is perfect. For all His ways are just, a God of faithfulness and without evil; just and upright is He.

  Deuteronomy 32:4

• Lord, stir up the hearts of Israelis to come out and protest this move by the government.
