Isaiah 62:1-2, 6-7 “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet, until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, and her salvation like a torch that is burning. The nations will see your righteousness… On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves; And give Him no rest until He establishes And makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.” 1 VISION AND COMMISSION The goal of this prayer guide is to provide a platform for 10 days of fasting and united prayer for the nation of Israel to hasten the vision of Jerusalem being fully established as a praise in the earth. Agreement with God in prayer for Israel will bring Glory to His Name in Zion and fulfill Israel’s destiny by establishing her as a source of blessing to all the families of the earth. Her deepest need is to behold her King the promised Messiah, Yeshua Ben David. Yeshua, in the great commission told His disciples to preach the Gospel beginning in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and then the uttermost parts of the earth. Luke 24:47; Acts 1:8. Take up the mantle, be a part of what God is doing through prayer for His people Israel. If you sense God is calling you to be a part of this prayer effort commit to fast and pray during Ten Days Israel for His people beginning September 14th (Rosh Hashanah) thru September 23rd 2015 (Yom Kippur). In this way all who participate will be a strategic part of fulfilling the scriptural mandate of Isaiah 62:6. 1 Map of Israel courtesy of Discover Israel Travel & Tourism Guide. www1.american.edu 2 THE CALL OF GOD CONCERNING ISRAEL The Apostle Paul wrote, “My hearts desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they might be saved.” (Romans 10:1) As Christians part of our mission is to win Israel over to God by fervent prayer, and walking with The God of Abraham in such a way that The Holy Spirit generates in them a holy jealousy. That jealousy undergirded by fervent effectual prayer is transformed by The Spirit into a deep hunger and thirst for God that leads to worship, the ultimate goal of missions. Paul wrote further, “I am talking to you Gentiles. In as much as I am the Apostle to the Gentiles I make much of my ministry, in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” (Romans 11:13-15) Having experienced the compassion and love of The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as living recipients of the atoning sacrifice of Messiah, we are called by God to play a part in their resurrection. As the times of the Gentiles are rapidly drawing to a close the reviving and resurrecting breath of God is coming upon all Israel in fulfillment of Hebrew prophecy. (Ezekiel 37:5-6; Joel 2:28-31) We are privileged as intercessors to cooperate with The Holy Spirit in this outpouring of grace and blessing associated with the revelation of Christ as Messiah to His own people. (Zechariah 12:10-11) Paul said these amazing words, "For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises.” (Romans 9:3-4) Paul was willing to lay his life down for his people and even be separated from Christ for their sake. Yielding to the call of The Holy Spirit to fast and intercede is a response to Romans 12:1. “Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.” Worship is in fact the goal of missions2, and it is of the highest order of service and love to intercede for the children of Israel. Intercessors, we are standing at the door of the great end times revival promised to God’s people. Enter in and take up your place. 2 John Piper, Let The Nations Be Glad: The Supremacy Of God In Missions, (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2010),35. 3 10 DAYS ISRAEL PRAYER GUIDE 2015 DAILY FORMAT Day 1 – Monday, September 14th PRAYER FOCUS: ROSH HASHANA (The Feast of Trumpets) The head or beginning of a new spiritual year celebrated on the first day of the seventh month Tishri and ushered in by the blowing of the trumpets.

SCRIPTURE 5 Psalms 2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!” 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them. 5 Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying, 6 “But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.” 7 “I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
