UPDATE: The “Al-Aqsa Flood” or “Day of Rage” scheduled at al-Aqsa mosque (on the Temple Mount) on October 13th, which could have resulted in great violence in Jerusalem, JUST DIDN’T HAPPEN. There were some men trying to come from Jordan into Israel to demonstrate, but they were prevented by Jordanian armed forces. The mosque in Jerusalem had an even lower attendance for Friday prayers at the mosque than usual. The “Al-Aqsa flood” completely failed, thank God and thanks to the body of Messiah for praying! He has heard our prayers. Jerusalem remains at rest for now. In addition, the planned ground maneuvers in Gaza were delayed to give North Gazans time to make the 10 mile journey into South Gaza in order to spare civilian lives. All in all, we heard of no loss of life in Israel related to this call to action by Jihad leaders. Praise God. We are aware of increased anti-semitic actions around the world and we stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters. We (Jewish, International, and Arab believers in Israel and beyond) are “one new person” with them in Yeshua. The Jewish people are our elder brothers.
Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall mock; Adonai shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King (Yeshua Messiah) On My holy hill of Zion.”
“I will declare the decree: Adonai has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten you. Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
Psalm 2
Let’s pray together very specifically for Friday, October 13, for the Host of Heaven to be released to “protect the harvest” in our region (Jewish and Arab). Several days ago, there was a call sent out for Arab Israelis to assemble and clash with any crowds and authorities at the Al-Aqsa mosque for a “Day of Rage.” We won’t be able to humanly stop this war from escalating but God can. Why ask for that? Because we’re not here for the politics. We’re here for the people. And very suddenly, our harvest is dying. People are dying, fleeing, evacuating. Harvest workers are leaving. It’s time to humble ourselves in prayer and worship and ask God to turn everything around. He takes what the enemy meant for evil and works it for good. Genesis 50:20
The watchmen are sounding a spiritual alarm on the Holy Mountain, Zion for prayer and fasting over this situation. As we seek God’s face in these days, several of us independently have sensed Jesus weeping over this situation in Israel. We have sensed a huge, epic drawn out war as some are predicting is not his timing. From our vantage point it feels false—like a kind of deceit or lie, which is the enemy’s specialty. In fact, our leadership at the house of prayer has felt for some time that the enemy was trying to start a world war and shorten the harvest. Each day we lose more people that haven’t heard the lifesaving message of the gospel. That’s enough…In the name of Yeshua. WE SAY NO! We need INTERCESSORS (yes, you! even ordinary people like me can intercede powerfully) to keep praying for a miraculous protection of the global harvest. Only He can do it. Let’s go brothers and sisters…will you stand with us?
Let’s Pray!
(You can read through this prayer in agreement with us or pray as the Lord leads you):
Father in Heaven, you are holy and beautiful. You are King of the Universe who brings food from the earth and gives us everything we need every day. We lack nothing with you. You are our healer. Your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. You are worthy to judge the nations and the hearts of man. We are not. We release our enemies to your judgment. Bring justice. You are the righteous one. We find our righteousness and all our hope for the future in you. Keep us in the truth and temptation far from us! Adonai, tonight we celebrate the New Jerusalem. We celebrate your authority over all the earth. None of YOUR plans will be thwarted BUT ALL THE PLANS OF THE ENEMY ARE FALSE, VAIN, AND WASTED. We know the weapons of our warfare are NOT man’s weapons. Release heavenly warriors and weapons and forces. We pray for the plans of the enemy (we mean Satan and his demons), to be completely thwarted and blown away like dust so work here can continue in full force. May the enemy be completely broken and blocked. The time is short but we are NOT finished yet. We have assignments from You that need to be completed. May your power be known and may it amaze and confound all the politicians and the prideful people who think they KNOW there’s no way out. There is always a pathway of salvation with you because of YESHUA! Our High Priest…throw down the accuser. Unveil the lies.
Satan we RESIST YOU AND ALL POWERS and PRINCIPALITIES that war against the Lord Most High in heavenly places. We contend for this harvest of Israel on our knees. We say NO to the enemy and cancel every assignment in spiritual places that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. We demolish the footholds established by unforgiveness and the arguments against the Jewish people and against the knowledge of Yeshua. We command the spirit of murder and terror to leave this land and rebuke you. You must go!
Father, we ask for the Spirit of repentance and humility in worship over this land. Mountains (prideful hearts) be brought low, Valley (lowly hearts) be raised up. We declare to the nations, “Make way for the Day of the Lord!” We see Your mercy falling. We receive Your love for human “enemies.” We will see Jewish believers blessing our persecutors in obedience to Yeshua.
We ask you, according to your will, to please prolong the harvest a little longer and according to YOUR times and YOUR best timing. You are never rushed. You are never late. You said we have to work until the night comes, when no one can work. We want to help prepare your Jewish Bride to know you. By the time you come, the Bride will be RADIANT and unified in Yeshua as prophesied (one new man, Jew and Gentile). We know the time is soon but not yet.
And so we align with God’s heart to stop this war in spiritual places.
Tonight let there be no more loss of life and a healing of the wounded and dying.
A release of captives thought dead.
A miraculous prevention of atrocities of terrorism and war.
In the Mighty name of Yeshua!!!
Amen
