1. We started by looking to YHWH, the God of Israel.

    • YHWH hear you in the day of trouble, the name of the God of Jacob set you on high, sending you help from the sanctuary, upholding you out of Zion… We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up banners. YHWH will fulfill all your prayers. Now I know YHWH saves His anointed; He will hear him from His holy Heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots, some in horses, but we will remember the name of YHWH our God. They have bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright. Save, YHWH; let the King hear us as we call.

      Psalms 20:1-2; 5-9

    • We recall Your name - Your essential nature.

    • Thank You for being faithful, merciful, never-changing, always with us.

    • We declare that Yeshua, You are the Living Word of the Father, our Rock and the Good Shepherd.

    • Thank You Lord for sending the precious gift of the Holy Spirit.

    • Bless You God that You delight in our intercessions (Proverbs 15:8).

    • Bless You God for both hearing and answering our prayers (Proverbs 15:29; 1 John 5:14-15).

  2. Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is under tremendous pressure over his decision to take the opportunity to speak to the US Congress on the threat of a nuclear threshold Iranian nation and of Islamic terrorism. He is being attacked by Israeli and American politicians and Jewish leaders, as well as by most of the left-wing media. As we see it, facing this much opposition to speak truth indicates that he should go and speak. If you want another reason why Bibi feels obligated to warn of this great danger - we can point to 6,000,000 of them in the ashes of the Holocaust! Yes, his message is polarizing, but so is any declaration of truth today.

    • Lord, You told us to pray first for those in authority (1 Timothy 2:1-4), so we bring before You Israel's leader, asking for his protection - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

    • Give Netanyahu supernatural clarity as he prepares for what he needs to say to the US Congress. The preparation of a man's heart, and the answer of his tongue, is from YHWH… A man's heart plans his way, but YHWH directs his steps. (Proverbs 16:1, 9, see also 19:21; 21:1)

    • Remove all stones of stumbling from his path to get there and to speak (Isaiah 62:10).

    • God, watch over Your Word concerning Israel - and apply it to Bibi: Surely, there is no enchantment against Jacob, nor any witchcraft against Israel. According to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God done? (Numbers 23:23)

    • Thank You that Holocaust survivor and Noble Peace Prose laureate Eli Wiesel's endorsed this speech.

    • Lord, wake up the American Jewish community to not be silent about this Iranian threat against Israel. Let them learn from history as most were silent leading up to and during the early years of the Holocaust.

    • This speech on March 3rd is just before Purim, which starts the evening of 4th. The worldwide Jewish community will celebrate God's victory over the Persian/Iranian Haman, who tried to destroy the Jews. Lord, remind them that Haman's demonic plan were was thwarted by two Jews doing that which was not politically correct or in line with proper protocol!

    • Use this to clearly show both Jews and believers in America and elsewhere that this speech is of You.

  3. March 17th, Israeli election day. A win for Netanyahu's Likud party seems to be what is most in line with God's will and His prophetic Word. After all, since the opposition is willing to divide Jerusalem, why then would the nations come against it as in Zechariah 12:2-9; 14:1-4?

    • We desire for You to raise up a government through whom You can be glorified (Psalm 115:1-3).

    • Lord, unless we are missing something, please give Bibi and Likud an overwhelming victory.

    • Abba, have mercy on this nation, and allow Netanyahu to be Israel's next prime minster.

    • Give Bibi clarity and wisdom in his re-election campaign (Proverbs 21:1).

    • Use his speech in the US Congress to raise his profile among the Israeli electorate.

    • Cause the Israeli media to start covering the real issues and not all the innuendos about the Netanyahus.

    • Clear up the confusion among Israelis as to what the various parties/politicians really stand for.

    • Reveal the true characteristics of those running for a Knesset seat.

    • The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? I YHWH search the heart, I try the reins, even to give to each man according to his ways…

      Jeremiah 17:9-10a

    • Block the Israeli media from manipulating Netanyahu's words or his true heart intent.

    • Bring unity to the Likud party (Psalm 133:1-3).

    • Overrule all events from now to the elections, so that the one whom You choose will be the one elected. - YHWH has prepared His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom rules over all. (Psalms 103:19)

  4. Security is always close to our heart because for 'all Israel' to be saved, 'all Israel' needs to be alive! Activity on the Syrian and Lebanese borders, as well as the Gaza border, has increased. There is also an increase in attempts to smuggle weapons into Gaza via the sea.

    • Lord, thank You for giving Israel another defensive war-related breakthrough with its newly installed AquaShield Detection System, virtually eliminating attacks from under the ocean.

    • Bless abundantly the Israeli Navy and its increasing manpower and equipment.

    • Abba, help those who are working on an effective tunnel detection system to develop one quickly.

    • [King] Uzziah prepared…for all the army, shields and spears and helmets and coats of armor and bows and stones for slings. And he made engines in Jerusalem, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and on the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones with. And his name spread far abroad, for he was wonderfully helped until he was strong.

      2 Chronicles 26:14-15

    • Strengthen the IDF physically and mentally as they endeavor to protect the borders of Your nation.

    • Watch over the borders so that this verse will be fulfilled: And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, YHWH will be magnified upon [or beyond] the border of Israel. (Malachi 1:5)

    • Lord, may the next government allocate all of the resources that the IDF needs to protect this people.

    • Abba, shine Your spotlight on the enemy's dark places and satanic plans. We also have a more sure Word of prophecy, to which you do well to take heed, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Daystar arises in your hearts, (2 Peter 1:19)

    • Watch over Your many promises to protect this nation (Psalm 121:4; Isaiah 54:17; Jeremiah 31:10, etc.).

  5. The necessity for Jews in exile to come home is becoming more evident to us every day. When a US President labels the slaughter of four Jews in an Islamic terror attack in a Paris kosher deli "a bunch of folks" shot randomly, and when an Austrian city prosecutor says that praising Hitler for the death of Jews is a legitimate way of criticizing the Jewish State, it is time for Jews in exile to get their heads out of the sand and make aliyah. The fishers have been out there for many decades and now God is allowing the rise of the hunters. What will it take for both believing and pre-believing Jews to realize that death is snapping at their heels?

    • Lord, use recent events, both the wicked and the misspoken, to wake up Your people.

    • Bring home all Jews who want to be in Zion now. How shall we sing YHWH's song in a foreign land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget. (Psalms 137:4-5)

    • Let them come back while they can still bring their 'silver and gold' with them (Isaiah 60:9).

    • Chase home all the others who choose to remain blind to the signs (Jeremiah 16:16).

    • May the next government open wide the doors of this nation to receive all sorts of Jews - regardless of what they believe, or how much wealth they have, or what their profession might be (Isaiah 62:10).

    • Use the extreme weather that is pounding the northern hemisphere to get Your people to think about leaving for Israel's Mediterranean climate - and the humus and olives and pita…!

    • Cause all Jews who visit/tour this land to end up being married to it (Isaiah 62:4-5).

    • Use Netanyahu's speeches in America to convince Jews there - and elsewhere - that he is the kind of leader they want for themselves and their children.

  6. This burden of God for His people to come home is missing in most of the Western Church.

    • Lord Yeshua, have mercy on Your Body who remain deaf and blind to Your end-time will for Israel.

    • Lord, warn those in Your Body who are actually resisting this that they stand on dangerous ground. I will bless them that bless you and curse him that curses you… (Genesis 12:3; 27:29; Numbers 24:9)

    • Abba, move upon theologians and church elders to see what You are doing in Israel today - and that it is for Your holy name's sake (Ezekiel 36:21-32; 39:25-29).

    • Raise up shepherds after Your heart and remove all wicked shepherds (Jeremiah 23:3-4; Ezekiel 34:10).

    • Lord, strip Your true Body of all doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1) and false teachings (1 John 4:1) that are infiltrating the Church in these days.

    • Warn Your people that speaking against Your land is seen by You as blasphemy (Ezekiel 35:10-13)!

    • God, where are the voices of truth in the American Church who will stand with Bibi and his very real concern for Your nation - and against the fantasy world of Obama who thinks that Iran's leaders are honorable men who will keep their word?

    • We bless You for the growth of the Church under Communism in China, under Islam in many areas and under Hinduism.

    • Lord, the Church under Humanism is sinking. Wake our brothers and sisters up to the grave danger of submitting to this spiritual anti-Christ attack (Matthew 16:23).

  7. We finished by praying for the salvation of Israel. Please pray for those Jews who are in Your nation to be saved and return to Israel - or to return to Israel and then be saved. Also, plead with Yeshua to give Paul's burden for Israel's salvation (Romans 9:1-3; 10:1) to many of His people. Also, the more specific you pray the easier it is to recognize the results.

Again, we thank You for standing in the gap with us.

If there are ever prayers that You cannot pray in complete faith, then do not pray for that.

We are sure that there is enough in these alerts to keep us all busy about our Father's business.

Blessings and Shabbat shalom
