BY BREAKER OF DAWN MINISTRIES—
Biblical Reasons Why We Must Intercede for Israel and Jerusalem:
Genesis 12:2-3 “I will make of thee a great nation and I will bless thee and make thee a great nation and he who blesses you I will bless and he who curses you will be cursed and through you will all the families of the earth be blessed.”
Abraham was an idol maker, who made idols with his hands. He encountered God in such a phenomenal way that he was willing to leave everything and go and follow him.
Jeremiah 51:20-23 “Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; and with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; with thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.”
Zechariah 12:2-3 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
Zechariah predicted 2,400 years ago that Jerusalem will be the center of world attention. The word of God through Zechariah proclaimed that there would be worldwide conflict over the status of Jerusalem, and the existence of Israel as a Jewish nation.
Israel is a tiny piece of real estate the size of New Jersey, which is almost half desert. All nations are gathered against Jerusalem. We are in the time prophesied 2,400 years ago. Israel’s position before God is special, because she plays a role historically that is unique to her. No other nation has this role. The role that God has given the Jewish people is to be the vehicle of world redemption. The Apostle Paul tells us that the chief reason for which the nation of Israel came into existence was and is to be the custodians of the word of God. It is because of them we have the Bible.
Shifting stones cause earthquakes. Jerusalem is the stone, a heavy stone. Any nation or ideology that tries to take this stone and move it from its divinely appointed place will be cut in pieces. America has come in collision with the almighty God. He listens to all of our prayers for peace, for freedom, for the economy, for health reform, for deliverance from severe weather and the over powering government of death… But until we the believers arise as an army under the leadership of Jesus; obey His word to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and stand with her against the flood of antichrist; we will not be blessed, but we will be cursed with the judgment of God that will cut us in pieces.
Jesus is Lord of Lords who has our government on His shoulders. Because Jesus is in us individually and corporately, we are His body and the Government of God without compromise is upon our shoulder. We agree with Jesus in heaven and Jesus in us, that the word of God is true. We have the authority to enforce that Word by the power of the Blood of Jesus that protects Jerusalem and Israel from the plan of the antichrist to destroy her; as well as the power to protect us when we agree in faith with the promises of God.
Historical Reasons Why We Must Intercede for Israel and Jerusalem:
The fall of the Ottoman Empire came as a result of denying Israel to have Jerusalem as their capitol.
The Ottoman Empire was one of the greatest empires of world history. It was an Islamic caliphate for 400 years. At its height the whole of the Middle East was included: Egypt, the continent of Africa, Greece, Bulgaria, and Hungry. Nobody ever thought the Ottoman Empire would collapse. Theodor Herzl asked the Ottoman Sultan to allow Jewish autonomy in the Middle East with Jerusalem as the capitol; and the Sultan refused. The Ottoman Empire was ruptured and lost its world power.
The British Empire, so large the sun never set on it, failed because it meddled with Israel.
The British Empire was a great friend of Jews to begin with and fought for their independence; until they became their enemy. Their air force dropped small bombs on holocaust survivors. The royal navy sought to take all survivors into internment camps. God judged the British Empire with a divine judgment, because they went against the Jewish people becoming a nation. Britain is increasingly discovering that God is not with her. The amazing fact is in 1948, the British Empire began to fall into pieces at the exact time that Israel was recreated as a state.
Soviet Union and its satellite nations were a world force, who fell because of meddling with Israel.
Although the Soviet Union was the first nation to recognize Israel as an independent state; it later threatened to attack Israel during both the 1956 Sinai Campaign and the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. As a result of meddling with God’s divine program, the USSR collapsed in 1991.
The US is the greatest last world force.
President Harry Truman understood this when he defied his entire cabinet and advisors, to make the US the first country to recognize the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, he said, “I am Cyrus.”
Presidents Jimmy Carter, George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and now Obama are meddling with the covenant that God made with Abraham, and going as far as to describe it as irrelevant. They have all preached ‘land for peace.’ Israel has given land back and there has been more terror. There are other people in the land, but neither political correctness, nor time voids the covenants of God. America is on a collision course with Almighty God. God is no respecter of nations. If the U.S. thinks we can put Jerusalem in another place, divide it or give land for peace we will be broken to pieces. THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING!
Revelatory Prayer of Intercession for Israel
Dear Lord,
We ask forgiveness, we repent for the body of Christ. We have not prayed for the peace of Jerusalem. The Jews have returned to Israel as a Jewish state and Jerusalem is the Jewish capitol for the first time since 586 B.C. as the prophets foretold. This is the evidence of the plan and will of God. We are commanded to bless not curse what God is doing. If we bless we receive blessings, if we curse we receive curses.
We ask for the forgiveness of our national government’s leadership for not blessing what the God of the universe has ordained. We see as a result, curses overcoming our nation. Our national governmental leaders have no spiritual understanding about Jerusalem and Israel. They lean to the understanding of the flesh of man not of the knowledge of God.
We ask forgiveness for the church that has given into “deceiving spirits and doctrines of devils”
You want to find agreement on earth that you sent Your Son for salvation of the world. We agree and believe that the shed blood of Your Son will protect Israel as we honor Your Word and BELIEVE YOUR WORD. We believe that Your blessings not curses follow the person and the nation that blesses Israel. Thank you for revealing Your Word to us.
We have prayed for ourselves first, and have not stood first in the gap with the power of salvation that is in us for Israel. Awake the Government of God (the church of Jesus Christ) in this nation: TO DAILY OBEY YOU AND PASSIONATELY LOVE WHAT YOU LOVE, TO OBEY YOUR WORD THAT WE WOULD BE BLESSED AND NOT FALL INTO THE HANDS OF EVIL- BONDAGE NOT FREEDOM.
We have seen in history that every nation that was great in power fell, because they did not honor you and your plan of salvation. They did not recognize the birth of Christ as the plan for salvation, nor believe in His return to Jerusalem in His homeland of Israel.
Lord, we cannot push back evil in America until we as the body of Christ form an army, to obey Your Word and agree with the Intercessor in Heaven for the peace of Jerusalem. Then this nation will be taken out of darkness and the power of the enemy, and once again to the power of the Lord who loves us, because we love Him and do what He commands us to do first.
TO STAND IN THE GAP AND HONOR HIS PLAN TO PRAY FIRST FOR THE NATION OF ISRAEL. AS WE SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS WILL FOR ISRAEL; THEN HE WILL HEAR OUR PLEAS AND ALL THESE OTHER PRAYERS WILL BE ANSWERED.
In the name of Jesus we agree and believe Amen!
