As many are aware, a person considered the number two leader of Hamas internationally and also the head of the military wing was recently eliminated in Beirut. And as a result, there’s been a call for a day of rage. They’re calling supporters of Hamas to violence and to rise up in ways that they have not so far, especially here in East Jerusalem.
Many have been so surprised the supporters of Hamas within Jerusalem did not rise up and commit October 7 types of atrocities here already. But we thank the Lord for your prayers that we believe are protecting us from that.
Prayers for Silencing Voices of Violence
And so I’d like to encourage you to pray against these demonic attacks and that the people who trumpet those demonic voices of incitement will be silenced tomorrow January fifth, and that even if the mosques call people to violence, there will not be a real response to that and that all will be surprised at how they did not play into the hands of Hamas, this evil terror entity.
Past Prayers for God’s Restraining of Demonic Voices
So, as we were praying about this, I was reminded a few years ago when we were having a lot of knife attacks here in Jerusalem. And the Lord gave me a picture at that time, as I prayed, of a demonic power that looked like a dragon coming down on the Temple Mount.
But the Lord put him in a prison cell and put a gag eventually on his mouth.
We prayed and declared that what God had done in the heavens would happen on earth, and there would be a gag and restrain order on the demonic voices that were inciting the violence of these knifings.
Increasingly, many were predicting they would become a daily thing, that they would become maybe even a major intifada uprising again. But praise God, within a very short time after, the incitement died down.
They found the man who was the main instigator. People were smuggling tapes out of the prison from where he was inciting this violence. And, praise God, they found out about it, and they stopped the tapes and put him in solitary confinement.
Immediately, everything died down. Just within days, it was quiet again without this rise in violence and knifings that had been anticipated in the press.
So we thank you for your prayers with us and for us, especially for tomorrow, January fifth.
Pray with Us Against These Potential Demonic Attacks
Lord God of Israel, we thank you that you are the same God who shut the mouths of the lion for Daniel in the lion’s den. They would have devoured him. And Lord, you see that Kamaas, Isbala, the Iranian regime would devour Israel if possible.
They’ve stated this as their goal. But we look to you, Lord God of Israel, Lord God of the universe, not only for the people of Israel’s sake, but for the sake of people in Gaza, people in Lebanon, people in Iran, that you would shut evil mouths of incitement.
And we pray this, especially tomorrow here, Lord, in places like Jerusalem, East Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Nablus, Shem, all of these places that they are encouraging to have a day of rage and incitement to violence.
We pray that you will stop the mouth of the lion.
We pray, according to your word in Isaiah 54:17, that no weapon formed against us will prosper or succeed.
And we just look to you, oh Lord, to push the mute button on this incitement, both in the demonic realm and the earthly ones who serve those demonic voices.
Close the mouth of the lion, we pray. And we pray that this will pass quickly and that it’ll even be a very peaceful Shabbat here on Saturday in Jerusalem and in these cities.
In the name of Yeshua. Amen.
