Thank you so much for the ways you’ve kept up your prayers for Israel during this very crucial time in her history. I’d like to share four things that will hopefully give some prophetic direction for prayer.

Prayer #1: Pray for No Counterfeit Peace in the Israel War

First, you’ve probably heard of the efforts to make a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon and Gaza.

With both of those, I think it’s very important to pray that there will be no counterfeit peace. A counterfeit piece is when people make compromises to leave something in place that should actually be uprooted.

Since the beginning of this war, we have felt the Lord spoke very strongly that this is His time to not just prune terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah and the Iranian regime but to actually uproot them.

God calls us in Jeremiah 1 as prophetic intercessors to hear the word of the Lord proclaim His word in such a way that God uproots systems of evil and nations and plants His kingdom in its place.

Jeremiah 1:9-10

Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”

There are more than 60,000 Israelis who’ve been out of their homes in the Northern part of the country for over a year now and cannot return home until Hezbollah is dealt with decisively.

Last week, I was with two brothers from Lebanon who shared with us, and they said, please encourage people to keep praying for the full uprooting and the full destruction of Hezbollah.

They said we have been in a prison in Lebanon for 20 years, and Hezbollah has taken our prosperous country and destroyed it economically and in every other way they could. They said it’s like we’ve been in prison, so please encourage people to pray that Israel will finish the job.

We’re so thankful they’re finally dealing with Hezbollah.  Please pray that no counterfeit peace happens, but let us believe the Lord together for a full uprooting now so they can no longer build back.

Prayer #2: Pray to Uproot Israel’s Deep State

Second, we need to apply these prayers to uprooting systems of evil, sometimes called the deep state. We have it here in Israel, too. It’s not just in America; it’s in every nation probably.

I encourage you especially to think about what God is exposing on the systems of evil concerning deep states in Israel and America right now.

In Israel, they’re trying to overthrow Prime Minister Netanyahu. I believe it’s because he’s called to be like Winston Churchill and not Chamberlain.

Chamberlain created a counterfeit peace, a false peace, and then things went very much further than they would have had to go if he had been decisive like Churchill. Nazism could not just be compromised and negotiated with. Nazism had to be rooted out.

Prayer #3: Prayers for Israel as it deals with the Hague

Then I’m sure you’re all very aware of the international criminal court and their ridiculous warrants put out for the arrest of Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Gallant and equating their defensive actions with Hamas.

So they’re trying to make a moral equivalence between Hamas, which invaded Israel and started the war through barbaric acts like raping and pillaging, taking all these hostages, killing parents in front of children, children in front of parents, etc.

It’s unbelievable that they can try to make a moral equivalence between all of that and the elected leadership of Israel, who is simply defending their country, which was invaded.

This takes away from The credibility of the international criminal court, and it’s interesting that the head of that court is a Muslim man who is being investigated right now for sexual wrongdoing.

Yet he dares to come and make a moral judgment on the elected leadership of Israel defending themselves.

So a few months ago, we were in the Hague in the building of the International Criminal Court and in the city, many people came from many nations to pray for this whole situation.

The “rock” here is obviously Yeshua Himself but also the truth which is built upon Him and His word.  That truth will stand in the midst of great storms and shakings.

So we declared that as the shakings would increase in the UN system, in the International Criminal Court, and the International Court of Justice that anything built on sand would begin to crumble and fall according to His Word.

As we shared this with the leadership who lives there in the Hague, they said actually the building called The International Peace Palace where the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice is built on sand. It’s literally built on sand. So we felt this was such a confirmation.

I encourage you to pray that this whole UN system would crumble and fall apart. We’re praising God for the nations standing up now and saying that they’re withdrawing from the membership in the international criminal court because this is a travesty of justice, entirely political and not true judicial action.

Prayer #4: Pray for a Great Harvest and No World Wars

One last prayer I believe we all need to be praying for, and we’ve shared this for a long time now, is that there will not be a premature World War III.

I shared 10 years ago already that during a time of great harvest, Satan would try to stop this harvest by escalating regional conflicts into a premature World War, and I shared that we needed to pray over each regional conflict to contain and restrain them so that they would not go beyond the borders which God allowed.

We bless you from Jerusalem and thank you again for your prayers.
