Jerusalem, Israel
June 27, 2022 PRAYER UPDATE
Israel and the Nations
The current state of the Israeli government is in flux, and vulnerable to backdoor deals and more political upheaval.
In the meantime, this is a test, and other tests are coming, for those who pray and for those who “see” ahead in the Body of Messiah.
It involves our response to the current Israeli political maneuverings. But, also, as global events unfold, it will involve our interpretation of what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to the Church, regarding the times and seasons we are living in.
Will the Body of Messiah be able to agree on the timetable of the Lord’s prophetic word, as conflicts increase in this region and in the world?
Already, there is disagreement and discord among the voices being heard. There are divisions among us. It neutralizes our prayers and intercession when we fall out of agreement, and begin to pray, or even demand, that our opinions be heard.
It’s crucial that we do not take sides in the current political manipulations going on in the Israeli governmental realm; but that we pray, specifically, that a righteous and just government is formed.
We must remain a united force of prayer among the believers in the land, focused on God intervening to “root out” corruption, and “rule in” Godly men and women who serve in positions that will bring stability and Godly standards to the people of Israel.
May this happen whether there are new elections coming or not.
United we stand in the House of God; divided we fall if we allow opinion to dominate our prayers.
There are those among us who fear the division of the land; there are others who fear mass persecution against the believers. Still others who fear an even greater moral degradation of this society, depending on who rules the government. Believers think it depends on who takes office.
Yet, God’s ways are not our ways; neither are His thoughts our thoughts. And, His word says, “Fear not, for I am with you, says the Lord.”
Prayerfully, we will pass this test and future ones. We must walk in humility and gentleness; being patient; bearing with one another in love, making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. It is then that we can corporately ask Yeshua, as one Body and as one in Spirit… to bring His true peace into this current political situation; and into the birth pangs that are, and will be, increasing on the earth.
It's important that we pray for political stability in this time of vulnerability; regional stability during times of wars and rumors of wars; as well as spiritual unity among those who see into the prophetic realm – while continuing to increase the level of intercession, by praying unceasingly.
God is looking for that one united voice of His people here in the land, and we have a choice to walk in it, remembering that the effective prayers of a righteous one avails much!
Yeshua’s words should calm us all when we see things happening on earth, and want to know His mind on matters:
“Peace, I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled. Neither let it be afraid.”
Let us not fear, but pray that God’s perfect will be done on earth as it is in heaven… remembering that the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdom of our God, and of His Messiah, and He shall reign forever and ever!
