Pray for Peace in the Middle East 8/5/24
Friends we need to be KEEPING Israel and the US in prayer. There is a major teetering going on right now and things could very easily spin out of control. We need to be aware and focused on the things that are at a tipping point and pray for the Father to intervene on the global stage. Iran is expected to attack Israel again in some capacity in the immediate which could bring a much broader conflict and drag the US into war in the MIddle East. It's never just about our issues with one nation, it is the larger overall global picture of how each piece connects to another. Tomi Arayomi has released much prophecy and instruction for prayer in recent months, all aimed at at least delaying WW3 - which is the enemies plan.
Believers are often focused on the effects, such as famine, food shortages, power and communication outages and stock market crashes but the thing we often need to be praying for God to intervene in is the CAUSE of these events. It is most likely that if these situations eventually occur, it will be as an effect of something(s) much greater in scope that causes them. War is one of those distinct possibilities. This is why intercession is so key. God will defend Israel. The last time this happened a few months back, Iran fired 300 rockets at Israel and none were successful in inflicting damage or casualties. I believe all but one or a couple were intercepted.
Obviously only the hand of God can do that. The issue is not the safety of Israel although we do need to pray for Israel and the safety of the innocent everywhere. The issue is the larger scope of what a genuine full-scale or longer term attack on Israel would mean in terms of regional conflict and the US government's response. Iran is obviously in league with Russia, China and North Korea so war with Iran has the potential to initiate global conflict very quickly. All of these things are teetering daily in recent times. I believe many Christians are aware of these realities but many are also not aware.
I just heard the expression in my spirit - "Coming home to roost." What this expression means is that the past actions of a person, group or country are now appearing as consequences in front of them in a way that they have to deal with the fallout. It's a time when judgement is at the door for many individuals and for many nations. Ask the Lord to give you a heart to seek to walk in His holiness as never before and for His mercy and grace to be upon the nations of the earth. In the legal world, a stay of execution would mean that the final judgement or wrath of those in authority against a convicted person would be halted and mercy would intervene, at least momentarily.
We need to pray for the Lord to show us and others mercy during this time as things such as wars and global conflict can often manifest as an example of God's judgement to purge the evil from His people and from those who are operating in an antichrist agenda. In other words, when people are determined to go their own way and to ignore the conviction and Lordship of Jesus, eventually the Lord will allow them to go on in their destructive ways and reap the wrath that comes from sowing that kind of seed consistently. It's time to stop simply visiting the house of God and it's time to truly become a living, breathing temple of the Holy Spirit, as judgement begins with the house of God - just in case anyone thought we were off the hook and things were great. God's people win, but there is always a heavy cost! Pray friends!
