Praying for Israel.

In January 2011, the leadership of the ICEJ called on their global constituency to set time aside in fasting and prayer for Israel and the nations. From this, The Isaiah 62 Prayer Initiative was born. The organization has several general prayer topics for Christians wishing to pray for Israel.http://us.icej.org/isaiah-62-prayer-initiative

General prayer topics:

• The peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6) Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure".
  
• The spiritual restoration of Israel (Romans 11:25-27)
  
• The Aliyah process - immigration to Israel - (Isaiah 43:5-6)
• The work of the International Christian Embassy (Isaiah 40:1-2)
• The believers in the land (Psalm 126)
• The Christian ministries in the land (Isaiah 49:22-23)
• The Lord's protection from the enemy (Psalm 18) .....taken from

Not only pray for Israel, pray for the United States. I believe that the U.S. has an over due judgement coming and the only thing that is holding back that judgement is that we currently support Israel.

Why should we pray for Israel? Does the Bible instruct us to? Should we also be praying for the peace of Jerusalem like the Old Testament prophets sometimes did? Should a Christian be obligated to pray for Israel?


In Psalm 122:6 it says, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.”

God’s Chosen People?
God calls Israel the “apple of His eye” which is a term of endearment (Duet. 32:10, Zech. 2:8). God adds a blessing to those nations and people who bless Israel and a curse on those who curse Israel (Gen. 12:2-3). Do these blessings and cursings still apply? I do not see why they don’t since God changes not (Malachi 3:6). God was seen as the husband of Israel (Jer. 3:14). God is evidently still concerned over Israel, saying in 2 Chronicles 6:6, “Yet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.” Wherever God places His name is where He still places His love. Jesus wept over Jerusalem, knowing what their fate held, “As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it” (Luke 19:41).

This may be the very reason that God has prospered the United States. America is one of the few nations that have chosen to be her ally but that seems to have recently began to change. When America withdraws her support and defense of Israel, God could take His hand of blessing off of the U.S. Perhaps He has already begun to do so since relations with Israel have cooled off lately.

Israel is surrounded by hostile nations and a religion (Islam) that seeks her destruction. A blessing is pronounced over those who will pray for and bless Israel (Numb. 24:9). God will never abandon Israel and in the end, Israel will be saved by God Almighty (Malachi 3:6, Romans 11:1). Since Paul commands Christians to pray for governmental authorities and leaders, (Rom 13:1-7) why should we not also be praying for peace in the Middle East and in particular, for Israel? No, Israel is not perfect and she has made many mistakes, but they are God’s chosen people (Duet. 6:3-4).
