 morning radiant church we are gathered today in a morning day of prayer as we continue in 21 days of prayer and fasting for Israel and for God's plans and purposes to be accomplished in his chosen people Israel and so we are joining this morning from downtown Kalamazoo we're so glad you're here those who are joining in your cars and in your homes this is gonna be a special time we're gonna read out of Psalm 122 and so we're gonna start this morning with a few moments of intercession for Israel right on the front end then we're gonna go into a time of worship then we're gonna come back up and continue to just pray God's heart for his people and that as you do this you will our hearts are growing more and more every day as we pray for Israel our hearts grow for God's plan and his story that he's a God that has chosen to live among a people and now we are all part of that people as Gentile believers but he also has a special call to the end of time where he's coming back to rule and reign in this city of Jerusalem the very place where he was taken and given his life is the very place that again he's gonna come back and rule and from the beginning we see that God's heart was to be with his people but over time as his people would reject him he would send them out and then bring them back and then restore his covenants with them and his promises to them he would bring them from afar and we're in a time now even here in the mid 1900s where Israel has been called a state again a nation we've seen Jews coming from all over the earth back to Jerusalem and we're in an hour where God is stirring over a million believers right now and many more actually a number is even hard to track but who are praying right now over this 21-day fast for Jerusalem for God's plans for his people for his chosen so we're joining in these voices from every continent we're joining in with millions of believers today this is a significant moment I know some of you are watching with your kids and praying along at home this is a significant moment for us to understand that we are not the only ones that God is looking at and caring for and loving chasing after but also he's stirring up jealousy as it were in the hearts of the Jews as they look and they see that God the Messiah has come even to the Gentiles and our witness in our life is stirring this call back to back to Israel to say who is this Messiah who is this Jesus Yeshua so we're praying this morning for dreams and for visions we're praying this morning with millions of believers around the world that the Lord will show up and to show off his power in a place that has been one of the most contested cities on the world one of the most hated peoples because God has said this is my people so let's read in Psalm 122 verse 6 says pray for the peace of Jerusalem may they be secure who love you peace be within your walls and security within your towers for my brothers and companions sake I will say peace be within you for the sake of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good be within you in those three or four verses pieces mentioned three or four times that one of our goals is to be on the watch towers as it were on the walls of the city praying for the peace of Jerusalem we know when Isaiah 9 that as Jesus comes he's actually comes one of his names is the prince of peace so we're gonna start our prayer time not just praying for peace in Israel but praying that the prince of peace is established again in the holy city in Jerusalem Lord we lift our voices that the prince of peace would come in Lord that you would be welcome in your city Lord that you would be welcome in Jerusalem that the Messiah would be welcome that Yeshua would be welcome that the prince of peace would be welcome we say throw

let our hearts or our lips be silent this morning as we worship together let's open to Isaiah chapter 62 being out of the ESV oh no that's I have it with you today I'm gonna read some chunks of this passage there's 12 verses in this book it's talking about the coming salvation of Zion what God says in verse 1 for Zion's sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet until her righteousness goes forth as brightness and her salvation as a nation such shall see your righteousness and all the kings your glory and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give you'll be a crown of beauty in the hand you shall no more be termed forsaken more be termed desolate land shall be married for as a young man marries a young woman so shall your sons marry you and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride so shall your God rejoice over and look at this in verse 6 and on your walls oh Jerusalem I have set watchmen all the day and all the night they have never been silent you who put the Lord in remembrance take no rest and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth this is our part right now to be on the wall as it were as intercessors as watchmen day and night reminding God of his promises reminding God of his people of his time to act Lord to remembrance that he will take no rest he will not be silent but for Jerusalem's sake he will cause her brightness to go forth that all nations will see her glory the glory of the king in Jerusalem so we're partnering in the Isaiah 62 fast with millions of intercessors on every continent to stay right here Isaiah 62 6 on the walls of Jerusalem to not be silent but to declare the purposes of God for his people for Israel so would you stand with me and before we close today we're gonna have a time of rapid fire but right now would you join with me and we're gonna pray right out of Isaiah 62 we're positioning ourselves as watchmen we're praying right out of Isaiah 62 verse 10 says go through go through the gates repair the way for the people build up build up the highway clear it of stones lift up a signal over the people verse 11 behold the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth say to the daughter of Zion behold your salvation comes behold his reward is with him his recompense before him and they shall be called the holy people the redeemed of the Lord and you shall be called sought out a city not forsaken God we pray right out of your scripture here in Isaiah 62 10 11 12 Lord that you are raising up a beacon right now in this hour Lord that you are drawing Israel from the four corners of the earth Lord and you are bringing them back to be in the midst of them it's your message is being proclaimed to the end of the earth that you say to the daughter of salvation comes that wherever Israel is scattered all over Lord that their heart would hear during this fast of salvation coming from your from your throne room God from the lips of the Messiah would come salvation Lord there would be a call and a draw to the Messiah an undeniable draw by the Holy Spirit Jesus you chew on the anointed one to find you for who you are to see how you fulfill all of the prophecies asking you even as you said I will send out my proclamation but we say send out your proclamation Lord we stand on the walls as watchmen we say send out your proclamation to Israel remind them Lord that they are chosen that they are the apple of your eye Lord that they are valued Lord that they have a name that is not forsaken but that is chosen Lord that you chose them in you before the foundation of the world that you swore to their fathers Abraham Isaac and Jacob Lord that you would be their God Lord call your people from the four corners wherever they are right now remind them that they have a holy inheritance in their God a holy inheritance in you Lord in the Messiah in Jesus the anointed word lift up a call send out your proclamation you said you would do it but it's reminding you God send out your proclamation to your people call them home to you God and call them home to this land where you've made covenant with that your dislike is on Israel and in Israel Lord this nation that has been despised and over history no nation has been so hated so many other nations rising up against it swearing to take it out even in our recent history even now nations conspire to seek and to destroy to take away the land that you've given them and to destroy them to wipe them from the face of the earth but Lord we know that will never happen Lord you have purposes in mind the enemy has purposes of hatred Lord you have the light for Israel forgive us as a church give us if we want into our commitment before you in this time of fast we renew our commitment to pray for the peace of Jerusalem for the Prince of peace to enter Jerusalem we renew our commitment to pray Saul and Isaiah 62 the Lord your vision will come to pass for Israel for Jerusalem they will not be known as despised and rejected but they will be known as the ones who host the presence of Jesus Christ well no matter what state Israel is in
