Call to Fast for Israel

January 08, 2009

Dear Watchman,

Greetings from Jerusalem, Happy New Year! We believe this year 2009 will be a year of continued shakings and salvation in Jerusalem, Israel, the Arab Middle East and all nations. Thanks for your prayers over the last weeks since the Gaza War began.

We are calling for a Forty-Day Daniel Fast and Prayer beginning 6pm on the 6th of January 2009 and ending at 6:00pm on the 15th of February 2009, for the following purposes:

1. For terrorism weapons which threaten Israel from Hamas in Gaza and other sources in Iran and Middle East to be eliminated as much as possible.
2. God¹s Biblical solution for Israel, Judea and Samaria and Gaza to become clear to the Church, politicians, Israel and the nations.
3. For God¹s breakthrough in reconciliation, anointed worship and prayer during our 23rd Israel and Middle East Convocation, the 13th-16th of January 2009 in Istanbul, Turkey. We expect 120 Joshua Generation leaders from twelve Middle East nations.
4. For God’s best government to come into place for the future through the planned election in Israel on February 10, 2009, and also the best government for Palestinians and Arab nations.
5. For the Christians and nations worldwide to stand with Israel and God’s Covenant with Israel.
6. For the Jews in the West, especially the USA to come to understand God’s Kairos time in the financial shakings and prepare to come home to Israel. Hosea 11:10-11 ”When the Lion roars His people will come trembling from the West.”
7. For God’s salvation, reconciliation and worship to be manifest among Arabs and Jews to see Isa. 19:23-25 fulfilled as much as possible.

Psa 122:6 – Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.”

As Air Forces of Prayer in all nations, we ask you to join the Ground Forces of Prayer in Jerusalem and Israel as a prayer and fasting shield during these forty days.

Zec 12:8 – “On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the Lord going before them.”

There are now four 24-hour watches in Jerusalem and one each in the North of Israel, Tel Aviv-Coastal Region, and the South of Israel, made up of dozens of congregations.

Shalom in Messiah’s Love,

Tom Hess, Jerusalem
Avner Boskey, Beersheva
David Davis, Haifa
Naim Khoury, Bethlehem
