 Good morning. Welcome to morning prayer today. We're excited to have you join us, especially during this season. Beginning yesterday, we just joined as a church and as a praying people, over a million intercessors, probably more like five to seven million intercessors around the world, who have stepped into a season of prayer and fasting for the nation of Israel. And there's never been a moment in history like this where more people have been praying for the Jewish people or the nation of Israel. It's called the Isaiah 62 fast. And so if you're at home and you wanna know more about it and jump into it with us, you can go to isaias62fast.com and there's more information about that. But this is so vitally important and every day for the next 21 days, as a house of prayer and a prayer room and a church, we are going to, at least in part, be praying for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. And as I said, there are intercessors on every continent right now, all over the earth, joining in from May 7th to May 28, prayer and fasting, crying out to God for the Jewish people. You know, it's interesting in Isaiah, or in Romans chapter 11, it says that the nation of Israel and the Jewish people have experienced a hardening in parts due to their unbelief. But it also says that God's kind intentions in the future, just before the end of the age and the return of the Lord, is that he's going to awaken them again. He actually says it's going to be as if it were life back from the dead again. So here we are living in a time when Israel returned into the land, even if in unbelief, but yet they're in the land and God is going to use, as he says in Romans chapter 11, Gentiles, the Gentile church that you and me to provoke Israel to jealousy, to return back to their relationship, their covenant with God and to believe in Messiah. And so I wanna invite you that not just today, but over the next 21 days to join us in prayer, concentrated focus. What if this was the time and redemptive history that God began to awaken the Jewish people to believe in Yeshua, the Messiah? What if this were a moment in history long predicted by the prophets that God is going to bring and pour out a spirit of grace and supplication from the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, just before the return of the Lord. It's exciting times. And so we're so grateful for Mike Bickle and those who are leading the charge in this. This morning we're gonna start right off our prayer time and go into intercession for the nation of Israel. And we're gonna start in Isaiah 62. Isaiah 62 is perhaps one of the most beautiful, prophetic scriptures about God's future plans for the nation of Israel, not just back in the land politically, but alive and awakened spiritually. It says in verse number one, for Zion's sake, I will not keep silent. And for Jerusalem's sake, I will not be quiet until her righteousness goes forth as brightness and her salvation as a burning torch. The nations shall see your righteousness and all the kings are glory. And you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no more be termed forsaken. And your land shall no more be termed desolate. You shall be called, my delight is in her and your land married. For the Lord delights in you and your 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 you. Verse six, here's where you and I come in here. It says on your walls of Jerusalem, I have set watch for you. All the day and all the night, they shall never be silent. You who put the Lord in remembrance, take no rest and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in all the earth. So today you and I together, we are the watchman on the wall, praying over Jerusalem, praying for Israel together. So Father, today we come and we join our hearts with millions and millions and not even just that the numbers matter because you hear the prayer of even just one of us. The Lord, we're living in an unprecedented time and a season that you have called your church made up of a Jew and Gentile to cry out, stand on the walls overlooking in the high place of prayer, the nation of Israel and the city of Jerusalem, the city of the great king, a city that Jesus, you desire, that you long for and that you are returning to, a city that you will establish your Davidic throne and you will rule and reign over all the nations of the earth for a thousand years in the army, a city that you intend to beautify, Jesus, a city that you will make your resting place, your dwelling place, a nation with promises that you made all the way back to Abraham and you said this is an everlasting covenant that I am establishing with you, that I will give you this land and I will bring you back from the north, I will bring you back from the far countries, from the nations of the earth and which I have scattered you and I will bring you back into the land and I will establish you. Today Lord, we stand on the wall of intercession and we ask you Lord, remember your promises, remember your promises, we put you in remembrance, oh God, the promises you made to Abraham when you said I will make you a blessing to all the other nations of the earth, you said I will bless you and through your bloodline will come a redeemer, you said I give you the land as far as the Euphrates River and all the way to the great sea and as far north as Lebanon, as far south as the river of Egypt, you said it's all yours, Abraham and two year descendants, Isaac and Jacob and you said to the nation of Israel when you go into a state of unbelief, I mean to use other nations to come in and take you away into exile but I will not forget you. What was me if I forget you? May I forget the power of my right hand if I forget you because I will bring you back. I will redeem you, I've called you by name. You belong to me Israel and so God, we remind you of your promises today. We remind you that you declared Jerusalem is the city of the great king and that Israel shall be a joy, majestic, a radiant nation shining in its beauty to all the earth and that all the kings one day are gonna come and the earth are gonna come and worship before you, King Jesus in the city limits of Jerusalem. This is land that you have marked out, this is a people that you redeemed out of Egypt for yourself that you married at Sinai, that you established an everlasting covenant with, an everlasting covenant. This is a people that you said I will never forget you but I will provoke you under jealousy and bring you back to myself. I will graft you back in. I will graft you back into the covenant that I've established and I will make you a joy in all the earth. Oh God today, we're saying we'll give you no rest. Awake, awake, awake. Those of you descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, it's time for you to awake for your eyes to have the veil removed, for your hearts to have the calluses removed, for the unbelief, for the cynicism, for the spiritual blindness. It's time for you to awake and to behold your Messiah, Jesus. It's time for you to cry out to the God of Abraham, the God of covenant, the God who loves you, the God who says he rejoices over you with singing. Oh Father, we say as a people and with millions of voices, we will give you no rest until you make Jerusalem a joy and a praise in all the earth. Come on, right now, wherever you're at, I want you to just cry out to the Lord. Tell Him, commit your hearts to it. Right now, you say, Lord, I'm not gonna give you any rest. I'm not gonna stop, I'm committed to this, to praying for your people, to praying for the redemption. Cry out day and night on the first seven says, for we say, save your people in Israel. Lord, we cry out, we cry out for the remnant of Israel that is in the land, the majority of whom are still in unbelief, some who are not even faithful to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and only Jewish in ethnicity, but yet they're in the land. And we cry out right now, save of Israel that are in the land, save them from their enemies, but save them from their sins. Lord, we cry out just as you commanded us, as the nations, here we are, Gentiles, the majority of us even praying right now, for because of Jesus, the Messiah. And now Lord, we pray for those that we have such a debt that we owe to. We're saying, save Israel with shouts of praise today. We're saying, remember your people, the delight of your heart, the apple of your eye, the crown of your head, of Jacob, where there's intense turmoil on every side for protection from their enemies. It's as you have in every other era. Raise up Elijah's, raise up Jeremiah's, raise up prophets of old to stand in the streets of Jerusalem. Stand in the highways and the byways of Tel Aviv, like John the Baptist, repent for the Lord is coming. Repent and make stray his path for the return of the Lord. Lord, raise up prophetic voices, even rabbis and leaders who have had encounters with you Yeshua, the Messiah in the Western church. The conversation about Israel. Lord, today we're praying, as we pray for Israel, we're praying specifically that this would not just provoke Israel to repentance, but it would provoke the church to replacement theology that says the church is Israel and Israel no longer has a place in God's purposes or it has dominated the church. And it's caused us to have disdain for our older brother Israel. And it's caused us to, in many cases, be anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish of the body of Christ. Lord, we stand in repentance for that. We're asking you Lord that during this fast, that the impact would even supersede just the 21 days, but it would begin the conversation again, pastors would begin to look at the scriptures through a whole new lens, that leaders and preachers would begin to teach the flock about the days in which we're living in and the eternal purposes you have for the nation of Israel. Lord, that it would get the church back into a position as intercessors, prayer warriors for the people of Israel so that they might be grafted back in. Lord, that it would tear down the walls that have been built in the heart between the church, the Jewish people, even in Israel, the conversation, the volume of a conversation louder than it's been in 2,000 years. But once again, this would be front and center. Israel, the prophetic plumb line. We can't know when you're coming back. We can't know the signs of the time if we have no grid for Israel and your purposes for Israel being completed in our hour. It leaves us blind. Lord, we wanna have eyes set on the time clock group of the nation of Israel. And as we approach that time of your return, Jesus, we wanna stand as prayer support intercessors for the Jewish people, knowing that you're gonna do an incredible work, that there's gonna come a day when they will look up and see you, whom they have pierced and believed. That they're gonna cry out to you in their darkest hour and you're gonna rescue them. Lord, right now, stir the body of Christ in the conversation about Israel and your covenant promises today. Convict this God, stir it, turn the volume up. God, unto salvation for those who believe to the Jew first and also to the Greek. On behalf of the church, Lord, we stand in a place of intercession and we say, Lord, forgive us our indifference. Forgive us for not putting the Jew first in the presentation of the gospel and even in our prayer. It matters to you, God. Indifference, you're not about where you stand. You said, I will bring you back, bring you back into the land. Verse number eight of Jeremiah 31. He says, behold, I will bring them from the North country and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth. God, you are committed to bringing them back into the land and revealing yourself to them. Lord, if it matters to you, raise up millions of intercessors across the earth, not just for 21 days, but God even more so as we're approaching the end of this age. We begin to see the prophetic signpost. We can see the spirit of this age, even the antichrist spirit that's emerging, that's dominating. Lord, your spirit of truth and supplication and grace is stronger. In this hour, you're gonna raise up millions of intercessors that stay on the wall of prayer, not just for 21 days, but we will give no rest to our eyes until we see Jerusalem made a joy in all the earth, until we see you beautify the city of the great king. Let us be a first fruits, God. Raise up the first fruits right now. Millions of intercessors. And Lord, a million out of America that will give their lives to prayer. Stand on the wall, overlooking the Jewish people from a prophetic vantage point, saying, God, have your way. God, raise up prophets, God. Let your hand move the pieces into place. Hour is coming. There's gonna be dark days ahead for the Jewish people, but we pray that it would not destroy them, but it would awaken their hearts. Promises over them. Yeshua. Yamashiach, Jesus the Messiah. We cry out on their behalf, Yeshua. Messiah, come. Messiah, make yourself known. Make yourself, and you verbally, with your mouth and your voice, cry out to God. Jesus, awaken their hearts. Reveal yourself today. Come on, just take 60 seconds, and you verbally ask the Lord to say, God, awaken their hearts to see you and to believe. A remnant. Position back into worship together as we have just, for the last 30 minutes, been crying out and receding for the salvation of Israel. As we sing, as we worship together as a body, let that stir up faith to declare what God has promised he would do. We agree with who God is, and then we'll take the last about five minutes or so and continue to pray for Israel to conclude our prayer meeting. Jesus, we thank you for your cross, for your gift of salvation, for laying down low, lifted high. You said that you are the way, the truth, and the law there except through you. If for us to enter assurance with gratefulness and thankfulness, we sing of your praise and your glory. So we continue to pray for Israel this morning of praying out of Romans 10. It's the first few verses as brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God, for them, meaning Israel, is that they may be saved, for I bear with them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge, for being ignorant of the righteousness of God and seeking to establish their own. They did not submit to God's righteousness, for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. So right now we pray for our brothers and sisters in Israel, the one that God has chosen and set apart from the beginning of time that they would have scales removed from their eyes, that their hearts would be opened, that they would see that their salvation is not on their identity or their lineage alone. It's not just on their bloodline, but it is through the salvation of Jesus, believing in him as their Messiah, that Jesus is fully God and fully man, that he came to make a way for them to have atonement right standing before their father, that he was the picture fulfilled, that he was that lamb, pure and spotless, sacrificed, fulfilled, years of sacrificial offerings before the Lord in the wilderness through the tabernacle of Moses, that Jesus is that sacrifice fulfilled, years of priestly duties coming in and out, trying to make atonement. Jesus is that one fulfilled. God, we ask for a spirit of wisdom and revelation right now. We ask for eyes and hearts to be opened. We ask that they would lay aside their own belief, their own righteousness, and they would lay it down in humility before the Father. And they would believe in the one true Messiah, Jesus Christ, who came not in the way that they supposed but came as a man made low, who walked this earth perfect and sinless, who showed a better way, who fulfilled the law, and who laid down his life and was lifted up so that he may be glorified. We ask that they would see the Son rightly. We ask that they would see the Father who gave his son rightly. We ask that they would see the Holy Spirit who was sent to us as a helper rightly. So right now we ask in the name of Jesus for wisdom and revelation and the knowledge of him. Wisdom and revelation, eyes open, open unto salvation. Let them experience your righteousness. See and believe your salvation. Move the scales from their eyes. Circumcise their heart. Holy Spirit encounter a personal covenant, a personal relationship. Open hearts soften. So God we ask right now is people living in America that you would give us a heart for your people. Let our hearts burn like yours burns and let our hearts yearn and have zeal for your people of Israel to come to salvation. God we want our hearts to be pulled off of ourselves, our eyes pulled off of ourselves and to pray and intercede our thoughts to be united together for your people Israel. Because your heart burns for them, we want our heart to burn for them as well. So give us that in the name of Jesus. Amen and amen. Thank you so much for joining us. The start of our Isaiah 62 prayer time together for the next 21 days will be praying for Israel Monday through Friday morning, noon and night. Please join us here at the Radiant City Center. You can join us again online tomorrow morning. Thank you, God bless.
