Sound the Shofar, Don’t TIPP the Scale

Shalom Praying Friends,

 Israel is a land and a people for whom the Lord cares deeply. So much so that His eyes are always on it, “from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year." That means every single day of the year, day in and day out, He never removes His eyes from Israel. Deuteronomy 11:12  This is the only time the Bible teaches us what God does each and every day. As the end of time approaches, we also must keep our eyes on Israel. It has been said that Jerusalem, the epicenter of YHWH’s love, is the center of all time. I am not a scientist but I do believe that.

Throughout history the Jewish people have gone through cycles of rejoicing, sinning and doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, suffering the consequences of sin, repenting and being forgiven. Many times they asked for things that were not good for them and when those particular prayers were answered, they suffered greatly. Now we see that Israel is in such a time. 


It seems as though every administration, every president, no matter whether Democrat or Republican, thinks they need to solve Israel’s problem with the Middle East enemies. They always want to mandate and control what they think are the necessary steps to a lasting peace.  They either don’t read the Bible or they don’t understand what they read and it seems President Trump is no exception. I’m praying for Godly wisdom for him.

There is no denying that Donald Trump is a staunch ally of Israel. He has accomplished what no other president has done when he moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem in recognition that it is the capitol of Israel.  His daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism to marry Jared Kushner.  He loves his daughter and son-in-law.  But then along comes the TIPP.  What is TIPP?   It’s yet another attempt to establish peace in Israel with their neighboring countries who openly declare their (Israel’s) demise.  Jared Kushner is the architect of that plan.

Well guess what? It’s another plan that has some good intentions to help the Palestinians prosper economically but it also involves Israel relinquishing land. ECCKKK!  The buzzer just went off again!!!  Will no one learn?

Its either a cunning move or it’s foolhardy.  Either way we must pray for Israel and the USA to make the right decisions. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas rejected the plan before it was even released.  Maybe he’s the only one with the right decision.  After all the Lord caused a jackass (donkey) to speak to a disobedient prophet/servant Balaam.

Whatever is at the root of these issues we know that in the Word there is a peace plan that will be made in covenant and will mark the time of Jacob’s trouble.  Is that now? That is not my sense, but the Lord knows the time and the day. I do know we are to pray regarding these matters.

Numbers 10:9 “When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the Lord your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.

Lord we declare that the earth is Your’s along with all its fullness, the world and all those who dwell in it.  You founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.  But who may ascend unto the hill of the Lord?  Or who may stand in Your holy place?  Only someone who has clean hands and a pure heart, someone not involved in idolatry nor uttered and sworn deceitfully. Psalm 24:1-4

In ourselves we recognize that we are never worthy to enter Your presence because we have sinned and fall short of Your Glory! Forgive us for we have sinned against You when we have spoken negatively against Your chosen people Israel. Antisemitism is a sin. Whether it be against Jews, muslims, buddhists or any.   Forgive us for believing that You do not have the right to choose Israel as Your chosen people or that in fact Israel can be easily manipulated or controlled.  Forgive us as a nation for thinking we can tell Israel what to do and how to govern their nation.  Forgive us for trying to get Israel to make a plan for peace that has no possibility for peace and in fact would require Israel to sacrifice land, an act expressly forbidden in Your Word.

Lord as we prepare to engage the enemy Your Word gives us instruction on the rules of spiritual warfare.  We heed Your instructions lest we become unnecessary casualties of war.

Ephesians 6:12-13 tells us we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore we take up the full armor of God. We put on the breastplate of righteousness to protect our heart and our chest cavity. We gird our loins about with truth and put upon our feet the sandals of the Gospel of peace. We put on the helmet of salvation to renew our minds daily and hold up the shield of faith to thwart every fiery dart of the enemy. According to Judges 7:18, with the Word we release the sword of the Lord against the powers of hell in the name of Yeshua that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand. We forbid any retaliation of the enemy against us in the name of Yeshua. We blind his vision through the pentagram and deafen his ears to Your plans.  We cover ourselves, our families, homes, finances and  ministries in the Blood of Yeshua and We ask You to deliver our nation. 

 In the name of Yeshua we bind the strongman of anti-Christ and anti-Semitism over America and Israel that we may plunder the enemy’s camp. Mark 3:27. We bind the prince of the power of the air and abolish demonic frequencies. We bind every scrambling spirit that would attempt to twist the words we pray. We tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt us. Luke 10:19   We nullify the power of any sacrifice made to devils in our cities, regions, or nation in the name of Jesus. Leviticus 17:7 We bind and rebuke Molech and any spirit that has been assigned to abort the destiny our nations America and Israel. Lev.18:21

 The right hand of Elohim is exalted! The right hand of Elohim does valiantly! Remove the reproach and contempt from your people.  Give us the spirit of wisdom and understanding and we shall keep Your law.  Indeed we shall observe it with our whole hearts.Psalm 119:34

Our souls faint for Your salvation, but we hope in Your word. Psalm 119:81 You will never leave us nor forsake us, capture us now in Your love. You are our hiding place, the place we will dwell during the storms that are rising. Your faithfulness endures to all generations! Psalm 119:90

Lord we want character to carry Your burden for Israel. Like Moses we want to be servants for the glory and fame of the Lord. Like Solomon we want to be stewards  of wisdom and wealth.  Like Nehemiah we want to be a restorer of Israel’s protection and godly practice and the keeper of the keys.  Like Asaph we want to be a pursuer of Your presence. Weave these characteristics into our own lives, so we may carry the burden for Israel according to Your will for our lives. Strengthen us Lord, strengthen Your Church...For Yeshua’s sake and for Israel’s sake.

On Your walls, O Jerusalem, You have appointed watchmen.  All day and all night we will never keep silent.  You who remind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves.  And give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth Isa.62:6-7  Mighty YHWH, we ask that a loud cry would rise up within us, that we would call out to You in a time of distress with confidence knowing that You hear us and answer us quickly.  Hear our prayer, Oh Lord!  Thank You for listening to our cries for help.. Listen to the cries of Your people Israel, and give us Your heart of compassion for them.  Arise and have compassion on Your people.  Hear their prayers that Your servants would take great pleasure in Israel and have Your heart of compassion for her condition.  Give us Your heart, Lord, and let the apple of Your eye become the center of our vision. 

Oh YHWH great is Your faithfulness.  When those who trusted You cried out to You, You delivered each one.  We ask therefore that the people of Israel would once again put their trust in You, the God of their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  In the midst of great difficulty, we ask that they would cry out to You and that You would deliver them from all of their troubles. Reveal Yourself to them. Show them again Your great faithfulness and that You are a God who does not disappoint!

We bind and rebuke every red eagle of terror that would come against Israel in the name of Yeshua Jer. 49:22 Every rocket and missile fired against Israel be returned to sender.  Every fire kite or ballon be extinguished! We declare that Israel shall not be afraid of the terror by night Ps. 91:5  We bind and rebuke the terrorist groups of Fatah, Hamas, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, as well as the governments of Russia, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, Libya and China that would plot against Israel in the name of Yeshua.

We bind and rebuke all spirits of hatred and murder that would manifest through terrorism in the name of Yeshua. We bind and rebuke all religious terrorists, all demons of jihad and all spirits of hatred of Israel and America. We bind and rebuke the terrors of death and all fear and panic that would come through terrorism. Deliver Israel from violent and bloodthirsty men. Psalm 140:1, Psalm 55:4 Frustrate the plans of the enemies of Israel.

We cut the acts of violence out of the hands of the wicked Isa.59:6 Let the assemblies of violent men be exposed and cut off. Psalm 86:14  Let violence be no more within the borders of Israel. Isa. 60:18

Father God, remove the veil you have sovereignly  placed over the eyes of Israel, that they would recognize Yeshua as their Messiah.  2 Cor. 3:14  Let the leaders of Israel be just, and let them rule by the Fear of the Lord. 2 Sam. 23:3 Turn the hearts of Israel’s leaders to fear You. Prov. 21:1 

YHWH, the great I AM, we bring before You the TIPP Trump Israel Peace Plan.  President Trump calls it the “Deal of the Century,”  but ISRAEL is not a deal to be bargained away.  What works on earth in the “ART of the DEAL” doesn’t apply to the Apple of Your Eye.  You told the Israelites when they came in to the land to go forth and possess the land. Joshua 1:11 You said when the Israelites possessed the land which You gave them then they could rest and enjoy it.Joshua 1:15 But that hasn’t happened!  All these centuries Israel has been a burdensome stone in the eyes of the world.  Always in turmoil. Always being threatened.

The land of their hearts has not been conquered, has not been possessed for You as their King!  They may have conquered physical kings in the land of Israel but not in their hearts! Joshua 12:1 YHWH When Joshua was old and advanced in years, You said there was still much land yet to be possessed. Joshua 13:1 and that has never changed.  You asked Israel,  “How long? How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord of your fathers has given you? Turn your hardened hearts to Him and be saved.” Joshua 18:3

YHWH Tsabaoth in all this time, in all these years still they are far from You.  They still continue to try to solve their problems man’s way through agreements and covenants on the earth and peace plans. But until the Prince of Peace Jehovah Shalom returns there can never be peace.  Until He comes again to heal Israel, it will be fractured.  Until He comes to make Israel complete, they will be missing the greatest piece of their heart.  Jehovah Shalom come soon, in Yeshua’s name!

In the entire Holy Scriptures You told Your people to possess the land 120 times.  31 Times you told them to divide the land amongst the 12 Tribes to receive their inheritance.  Never once did You tell them to give the land to the enemy. In fact Lord in Ezekiel 37:22 Your Word says, “I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again.”  YHWH Your Word will not return void!  Israel will not be given up nor divided.

In Yeshua’s name we ask You to loose the spirit of divine revelation to President Trump and  PM Bibi Netanyahu about Your perspective on dividing Jerusalem. It will not! It must not be divided lest a curse come upon us. Love your God, obey His laws.  Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel by the division of land and sovereignty will be cursed. Deuteronomy 28

In meetings with President Trump, PM Netanyahu and Benny Gantz and prior to any and all final decisions regarding the TIPP, we loose divine courage for all decision makers that they would not enter into any ungodly covenants. Let them break and dis-annul all ungodly covenants, oaths and pledges they have made with their lips.  Let them break all agreements with hell in Yeshua’s name. Matt. 16:19

Let the leaders of Israel praise You, and let them hear the words of Your mouth Ps. 138:4 Raise up government leaders in Israel (and worldwide) who will not seek to divide the land.  YHWH alone has determined the boundaries of Israel...Let those leaders recognize the unique significance of Jerusalem in  YHWH’s end-time purposes....

 

We pray that the United States of America, President Donald Trump, the Senate, the Congress and House of Representatives, the State  Department and all leadership would resolve to unilaterally stand in alliance with truth and in fact with Israel....let all plans hatched in darkness and under cover of secrecy against Israel be exposed to the Light. Jesus is the Light of the world.

We pray that any undue influence by family members on President Trump’s position regarding Israel and the division of land would be severed and they would be removed from all positions of influence in Yeshua’s name.  We pray that the the veil would be removed from President Trump’s mind and thinking process and his eyes would be opened to the truth of the Word of God and the ramifications of what has been proposed in the TIPP. 

We pray that the President’s Faith Advisers would advise what is the truth of the Word of God, undiluted and fearless to proclaim the truth. And that President Trump would heed their advice. For we perish for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6 If their backbone is weak remove them from all influence in Yeshua’s name. We loose off any hero worship of PM Netanyahu about President Trump’s plan and loose to him a refreshing of memories of the consequences of his dis-obedience to the Word about Israel.

We pray that the plans of heaven for the leadership of Israel would be correctly decided in the upcoming elections and say “Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name Your kingdom come in Israel. Your will be done in Israel On earth as it is in heaven. Luke 11:2 Let the Lord’s dominion be established in Israel and let His enemies lick the dust. Psalm 72:8-9  Oh God pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on You whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for You as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for You as one grieves for a firstborn. Zechariah 12:10

In the name of Yeshua we pray for the raising up of Ezekial’s Jewish army and declare the words of the Great I AM Himself,  “O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones. ‘Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 37:4-6

I Prophesy to the breath and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live. Ezekiel 37:9

Finally, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I AM the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’ Ezekiel 37:12-14

 

YHWH OUR PRAYER IS THAT ALL OF ISRAEL WOULD COME TO THE SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF YESHUA OUR MESSIAH!

We pray for the peace of Jerusalem, “May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.”  For the sake of our brethren and companions,  We will now say, “Peace be within you.” Because of the house of the Lord our God we will seek your good.   Psalm 122:6-9 AMEN!
