From Jerusalem, the Beautiful!
Once again, I’m in the beautiful Jerusalem, just for a couple of days… helping God TV, singing from the rooftops of the City of the King. And I have a question for you…
Why do you think that praying for Israel is important, and how we should pray for them?
Please post your answer below.
Also, please pray for me, I’ll be ministering here in Israel this weekend.
mega blessings from Zion

I think we should pray for Israel to be saved
We should pray for Israel to save them and to be free and have peace….God is with them
We should pray for both Israel and Palestine, as a church we have the power and authority over the darkness and we should use it to spread peace and love and to stop what Satan is doing
They are the root we are supported by them. Adoni deliver your people from the hand of the enemy. May the revelation of Yeshua be manifest to all who will hear Him. Baruach Ha Shem Adoni…
Because of Psalms 122…”I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
2 Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound firmly together,
4 to which the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for[a] Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your walls
and security within your towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions’ sake
I will say, “Peace be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.”
(praying for and with you Pablo)

I agree with you. The reason we pray for Israel is in obedience to God’s Word in Psalm 122 especially verse 6. Peace be unto you Pablo and all children of the Most High.
Because despite all that they have done and all that has happened they still remain the choosen of God he told us that he would never leave them or forsake them. Even there aversion to Christ is part of the plan there will come a time and I believe soon. When the people of Isreal will proclaim Jesus as messiah. Already the foundation is being laid. Menu Jewish people have come to Christ.
We should pry for them
Because we are spiritual Israelites and God commanded us to pray for Israel for peace.
Israel has been set-apart for a very special role – Chosen to serve as an example for the whole world to follow and learn from. Israel reflects all of us believers in YHWH, our Almighty Father, and also the Annointed Son, our Savior and Master, Yahushua. In all its struggles, Israel has had glorious victories and innate flaws of its own, much like each and everyone of us. Praying for Israel is like praying for our own salvation. But in the end, may YHWH’s true and perfect Will be done for Israel, according to His Qodesh (holy) Word. Amen, halleluYah!
We should pray for Israel because:
1. We are commanded to do so by the word of God.
2. God is not done with Israel yet.
3. We the church depend upon the past, present and future of Israel.
4. God loves Israel and if we love God we should love all that He loves
5. The return of our Lord Jesus Christ depends on the salvation of Israel.
May the Good Lord cover you under His Mighty Wings. May He increase your knowledge of Himself as you share His good word.
We have a mandate to pray for Jerusalem in the Holy Bible and it’s what every believer should do in total obedience. Israel, and Jerusalem especially, has a divine covenant with Jehovah and will be the ultimate ground of end times revelations.
we should pray for Israel, because the places and the land that is chosen by the Almighty God for us.
I love my brothers Jews but they need to love more under HIS LOVE (JESHUA HAMASHIAH) but like the are rejecting always then here our ADONAI (GOD) is having the control and though is very sad the phisical war, we know the real fight is spiritual but does It could be understood my jews brothers? my ancestors were Jews so I love them but again sadly HIS Word would be done like HE said; I will come for second time and my people (Jew) will see tha I AM HIS GOD (ADONAI) so this is a GREAT HOPE for them but HIS Word would be done before HE COMES!!!, WARS and more so only we need to be under prayer and GOD (Adonai) will do HIS WILL finally so Praise HIS blessed NAME and ONE !!!.
In HIM !!!
Mount Zion (Hebrew: הַר צִיוֹן, Har Tsiyyon; Arabic: جبل صهيون, Jabel Sahyoun) is a hill in Jerusalem just outside the walls of the Old City.
Micah 4 – The Lord Reigns over Restored Zion
1. (1-3) Zion is the center of a renewed earth
Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it. Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples, and rebuke strong nations afar off; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
I pray that they may find Christ Jesus the saviour [Son of God] sent by God himself and turn their hearts to God to worship Him in truth and Spirit
My prayer goes beyond the Gaza issue and its Palestine people. It also goes beyond Israel and its people too. My prayer is that Jesus come back soon to restore heavenly order here on earth as it is in heaven.
If we pray for Israel, we bless them and God the Almighty will bless us too.
We should pray for Israelis and Palestinians because: 1) God is deeply, desperately in love with Israelis and Palestinians; 2) Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace; 3) God longs to bring His Shalom/peace to the middle East. So I do not believe that people who claim the name of Jesus should pick “a side” in the conflict. I believe we are the peacemakers commissioned by the Holy Spirit of God to embody Christ’s peace in the world, and that we should pray for, work for, labor for peace, reconciliation and justice on all sides of the conflict. Ultimately, any approach that leads you to place your hope in Israel rather than Israel’s Messiah is leading you to a dead end street.
We pray for both of them, not only for Israel as God chosen people, but palistine also are God creation as scripture say ‘God said, LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS”.
Hope that this war will end in God’ grace and glory.
My take is very simple and bible based,’we should pray for the peace of Israel,for therein is tied our own peace’.If you do not flow with Israel,you are somehow disconnected from Zion,the place of our deliverance…..Obadiah verse 17.

Israel is God’s land, and God’s people, He loves them, they has been chosen by God, we have to love Israel’s people and pray for them.
We have to pray for the people of Israel and Palestine for they are all God’s people. We have to pray that this war will be over because the innocent ones are those severely affected and are victimized. We have an environmental threat that we have to focus and be ready for when the worst comes to us why not focus on it.
We have to pray for Israel because they are God’s people. And also God commanded to pray for they are salvation as a nation.
It is our Christian responsibility
It is in obedience to : Psalm 122:6Amplified Bible (AMP)
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love you [the Holy City]!
As it says in Romans chapter 11,Israel’s stumbling of their Messiah has been allowed so the Gentiles can know deliverance and salvation of Yeshua.Moreover,if their stumbling is bringing riches to the world-how much greater riches will Israel in its fullness bring the world. We that have been grafted into the vine who were once a wild olive branch how much more we need to pray for the natural branches to be grafted back in to their own olive tree.
God says all those who bless my people will be blessed and all those who curse them will be cursed. So people what would it be?
All those comments from August 2014 are true and valid for us to pray for Israel, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, but now this year in the month of September, 2015 the whole world has turned against the Holy Land! Radical Iran has repeatedly threatened to wipe Israel’s history with God out of history itself, and this year Russia and China have made plans of destruction also.
Even the U.S. President has joined with other nations in the world to hate Israel, even using tax payers money to fund Egypt and give to Iran the power to have nuclear capabilities to follow through with their history of threats against Israel. But, Almighty God is still in control, He will continue to protect His chosen people; we are two days away from Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year for Jewish people fasting and intensive prayers. There are literally billions of Christian joining in prayer for the peace of Jerusalem during this time repentance, and Atonement in numerous nations around the world. Please join us as we pray for our beloved Israel to be protected; to be saved from the evil hatred of the world!
Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it.
Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up the to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between many peoples, And rebuke strong nations afar off; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And spears into pruning hooks; (knives)
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore. For all people walk each in the name of his god. But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God Forever and ever.
(The Promise of the Coming Kingdom) As seen through the Holy Spirit inspired teaching of the Apostle Paul, from Romans 9:6-9, Speaks of God’s Sovereignty, and also verses 27-29, Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel; even “The remnant will be saved, for He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the Lord Jesus will make a short work upon the earth.” Unless the Lord of Sabbath had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have become like Gomorrah.” *** Note, read the news of U.S. Policy changes in September 2015 ***
Very insightful comment Larry – yes, we need to pray for Jerusalem and her destiny!
