SITUATION ANALYSIS -- 174

 

Jerusalem, Israel

APRIL 10, 2022 PRAYER UPDATE

Israel and the Nations 

 

  RALLY THE TROOPS! 

 

 The Commander, the Captain of the Armies of Heaven, the Lord of Hosts, goes before us. The God of the armies of Israel. (Psalm 46:7; Joshua 5:13-15; 1 Samuel 17:45).

 

 

Two weeks before Ramadan started, there were quiet prophetic warnings from believers that, during the Muslim holiday, the enemy would be stepping up his attacks. There were already warring factions in the Palestinian territories confronting one another, as well as the Israeli police. So, the demonic forces were beginning to manifest. 

 

 

We had learned from an Israeli official a few months earlier, and reported it in a news article, that Israel was preparing for clashes again, similar to the 11-day war in May 2021. The assessment was that the war coming would repeat the May 2021 pattern, but would be worse. 

 

 

As we prayed into this, and, after the recent terror attacks in Israel, we read in the news that, Israeli forces were again confronting Palestinian factions in the West Bank to stop terror attacks from coming into main cities in Israel.

 

 

The battle, so far, has not been unleashed into a major conflagration. It’s being fought in the Palestinian territories… first with enemy forces warring against each other; and, then with the enemy fighting Israeli forces. 

 

 

Some of the battle has come into Israeli cities… with recent terror attacks in Jerusalem, Beersheva, Hadera, Bnei Brak, and Tel Aviv. At the Damascus Gate there have been confrontations, daily. (It’s a powder keg there). 

 

 The warnings should be heeded because the threat is increasing. 

 

 There has also been a government crisis in Israel going on. It’s like the whirlwind before the storm.

 

 The Lord reminded us that last year, during Ramadan, we experienced a perfect storm. It was right around the time of Shavuot. We recorded the events at that time.

 

 Now, we sense we are on the verge of another perfect storm.

 

 From April 15-17, 2022, there will be a convergence of three of the major religions of this land. 

 

 We are already in the midst of Ramadan. 

 

 April 15, in the evening, begins Passover. It is also “Good Friday.” 

 

 April 17, 2022, is Resurrection Day Sunday (Easter) on the Gregorian calendar. 

 

 So, before April 15-17, 2022, there should be a rallying cry of increased intercession!

 

 The sense is that, currently, the demonic spiritual forces have been striking, but they have not, yet, unhinged what they are planning for this time. We believe this is due to the prayers already going forth from the Body of Messiah in the land and internationally. 

 There needs to be a rallying cry for intercessors to pray, NOW, in a concerted corporate effort. 

 Rally the troops! For our weapons of warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for the pulling down of strongholds. (2 Corinthians 10:4). For we wrestle, not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12). 

 

 Let’s faithfully proclaim this truth, in the power of God, with His weapons of righteousness, in the right hand and the left. Let’s prayerfully declare that He can, and He will, through our prayers, stop the plans of the enemy over His holy city of Jerusalem, and His Covenant land, Israel. 

 

May we, as a corporate people under the hand of Almighty God, fight well in the Lord’s battle. The battle IS the Lord’s. 

 

Let God arise; let His enemies be scattered. And, let those who hate Him flee before Him. (Psalm 68:1). 

 

We are reminded that worship goes with intercession. Pray that our corporate worship and intercession will be a time of answered prayer. And, as the enemy is resisted, he will be contained and flee from this land. Amen! 

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear. The Lord of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge."  (excerpts from Psalm 46)
