"O give thanks unto LORD [YHWH]; call upon His name: make known His deeds among the people...Glory in His holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek LORD...Remember His marvelous works that He has done; His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth, O you seed of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob His chosen. He is LORD our God: His judgments are in all the earth. He has remembered His covenant for ever, the word He commanded to a thousand generations, which covenant He made with Abraham, His oath to Isaac, and confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, to Israel for an everlasting covenant, saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:"
(Psalms 105:1-11) - Abba, thank You for the rain and snow that You gave to this nation last week.
- We bless You, our precious covenant keeping God.

Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party are still in the process of putting together a government coalition.

"Thus says the Lord GOD; I am not doing this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for My holy name's sake, which you profaned among the gentiles, where you went.

America is stretching out her diplomatic hands to Syria. This could become very dangerous to Israel as she may be pressured to give up the Golan Heights to Syria.
- Lord, we thank You for restoring biblical Bashan, the Golan , to Israel in 1967. Please guard over it and let it remain part of this nation forever.

Iran continues to not only flaunt UN decisions in regard to her developing nuclear weapons, but she also publicly declares that Israel will be wiped out. This is a threat that gets more dangerous wit each passing day - and Obama and the EU want to talk!
- O God, wake up the world to this danger.
- Of greater importance, give Israel wisdom and courage to do what needs to be done to defend herself from this existential threat.
-
"Keep not silence, O God. Hold not your peace. Be not still, O God. For, behold, Your enemies make a huge noise. They that hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, consulted against Your hidden ones. They have said, Come, let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For ...they are confederate against You:"

- Yeshua, help the Body, especially the leaders, to see that today You are in the process of restoring Israel to Your/their land so that You can pour out Your Spirit on them and reveal to them that You are their Messiah.
-
"I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon [lit: unto] Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."
(Zechariah 12:10) - Help more believers see what Your prophetic priorities are and the process through which You accomplish them.
- Set the Body - both here and in the nations - free from the spirit of Humanism which perverts so much of what the Word says to another meaning altogether.

"I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem,
(Isaiah 62:6-7)
who shall never hold their peace day nor night.
You that make mention of LORD, keep not silence,
and give Him no rest, until He establish,
and until He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth."
