Video: Urgent Call to Intercede for Israel 11-21-13

The Lord has instructed me to encourage His intercessors to be strengthened and do not grow weary in your well doing. Your fasting and intercession has wrought much fruit and about to bear even more, but do not stop praying and continue to recruit others to pray with you. It is imperative that we do not let up now. Today is the day of salvation for the Jews! Please watch the clip below and share if you feel led.

Please continue praying and fasting for Israel as we see the nations surrounding her plot and scheme their way into an agreement to remove the Jews from their land.

It will not happen. Period.
The Jews will not give up Jerusalem. Period.
The Jews will not be wiped off the map. Period.
The Jews will not be defeated by any nation, no matter how much larger and powerful. Period.
God will not allow it. Period.

Pray for America, that God will have mercy on us for being a witness and partner with Israel's enemies. This is a very serious thing God does not take lightly. Do not be deceived into thinking we are safe here in America because the potential for war is half way around the earth. The enemy is at work here in America now as we enjoy our malls, entertainment complexes and worship our American Idols. God forgive us. 

What we can do is pray and fast. Make time to do this and ask the Lord to show you what is being planned against us in our own backyard here in America. As He reveals these things, ask Him to show you how to pray for the undoing and reversing of the plans of the enemy. Decree and declare all hidden works and plans for destruction are broken and being exposed. Decree and declare the things that are not obvious are being brought into the light and the institutionalized Church in America is waking up! Amen.

 
Scripture prayer points:
2 Chronicles 20:7 "[Are] You not our God, [who] drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever?
Isaiah 41:8-13 "But you, Israel, [are] My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend. [You] whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, 'You [are] My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: Fear not, for I [am] with you; Be not dismayed, for I [am] your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ “Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them--Those who contended with you. Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing.  For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'
Isaiah 31:5 Like birds flying about, So will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will also deliver [it]; Passing over, He will preserve [it]."
Isaiah 37:35 'For I will defend this city, to save it For My own sake and for My servant David's sake.' "
Job 4:9-10 By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of His anger they are consumed. The roaring of the lion, The voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken. 
Psalm 71:2 Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me. 
Psalm 141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I escape safely.
Psalm 37:12
The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him, For He sees that his day is coming.
 The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you, 

And be gracious to you; 
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, 
And give you peace. 

Amen.

Open Your Eyes and...




And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. Genesis 21:19

This verse comes from the story of Hagar in the wilderness with her son after she had been sent away by Abram. She wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba with only some bread and a bottle of water until it was gone. When the water was gone she left her son under a bush and walked away some distance because she did not want to witness the death of her baby there in the wilderness. She wept; was without hope with no one to help. At least she must have thought she was without hope and there was no one to help. But God. He heard the baby crying out and spoke a word to Hagar and opened her eyes to see...that even in the place where death to her and her son was certain, it wasn't over yet. Read the story in Genesis 21 from Hagar's prospective. I know that her son was not and is not the promise God made to Abraham. Period. But read the story from Hagar's prospective. She was a mother with a son that was said to have been possibly 14 years of age at the time of Isaac's birth. Life must have been great and looking very promising for Hagar and Ismael until they were sent away into the wilderness. I can only imagine what Hagar must have been thinking at that very moment she made the decision to leave her son behind because witnessing his death was too much for her to bare. But just when it seems it was all about to come to an end, God speaks a word to her and opens her eyes to see that basically, her son, her world, is not dead yet. In fact, He tells her, you and your baby (your dream, your ministry, your marriage, your business etc.) isn't going to die, but it will live, and it will thrive, and it will become great. Wow...what a powerful story and it should be a great encouragement to you if you see yourself in the story today. I believe God is saying to you this morning, "Don't throw your baby away because I have provided living water for you and your baby!" I believe He is saying, "Choose life today and live because I have come into your life and into your wilderness experience that you might have life and life abundantly, but you have to open your eyes. You have to open the eyes of your heart to see that I have provided a way for you!" But when God speaks a word to us directly, or through His Word, or through a person, we must purpose in our hearts to open our eyes to see and then we must get up and act upon that word.

Job says it so beautifully in his wilderness experience in Job 14:7-9:

For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that is will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease, though its root may grow old in the earth, and it's stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant. 

Do you see? Job didn't just think this up himself. No! God opened his eyes to see and then Job acts upon it by saying that he was not giving up on believing God.

Job 14:14 - If a mans dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my change comes. Job now knows that God was not going to leave him the way he was. Job drank the living water God provided in the word Job saw and heard when his eyes were opened by God. We all know how it ended for Job. God blessed him and he became great.

Now I want to say that I just noticed something about this post as I am typing it out. The number 14 is mentioned three times. Once in Ismael being about 14 years old and Job 14:14. Three representing God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I believe the 14 have some meaning for us.

The prophetic meaning of 14 is: Passover, deliverance, salvation, double anointing

Think God is trying to say something to us this morning? Don't give up, help is on the way. This wilderness experience has come, but it has not come to stay. It will pass over you, you will be delivered and receive salvation. In the end, you will better than you were in the beginning as Job and Hagar were.

Decide today to Open Your Eyes and see what the Lord is saying about your situation.

Receive this blessing today:

The Lord bless you and keep you; 
The Lord make His face shine upon you, 
And be gracious to you; 
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, 
And give you peace. 

Amen.
