Praying for President Trump and the Middle East

***Praying for President Trump and the Middle East Prophesy....

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Father, Your Word is clear and You have called us to watch for the signs of the times. And You beckon us to pray for the pace of Jerusalem. Events:

• The 70th Anniversary of the Birth of the Nation of Israel.
• The move of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem
• Trump to ask Israel to withdraw from 4 east J'lem neighborhoods.

• The withdrawal from the Iran Deal
• The recent military exchange between Syria and Israel

Your Word:

Zechariah 12:1-3
1The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Reports: Trump will ask Israel to give up 4 east Jerusalem neighborhoods...which would eventually become the place of a Palestinian capital.

REVERENCE:
Father, Your Word is Sure. Your Word does not return void. You will not be thwarted and Your will shall abide and come to pass Thank You Father, that You are not deterred. Thank You that Your love for Jerusalem and Israel abides.

Thank You that Your covenant is sure and unmovable, for You swore by Yourself that these things would come to pass. I thank You that Your love for Jerusalem and Israel has not diminished.

Your Word bids me to beckon You to do what You say You will do. And so I come to Your throne of grace on behalf of President Trump and his role regarding the Peace of Jerusalem.

RESPONSE:
Your Word bids me to pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

Psalms 122:6-7
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. 7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

Father, I come on behalf of Israel, Jerusalem, Your people who are the apple of Your eye. I pray for peace. I pray knowing that Your Word tells us that there will be no peace until the Prince of Peace comes. Yet, I pray. Yeshua, come quickly.

You are the Prince of Peace. Come quickly that there may be peace in Jerusalem. You have prospered them and raised Your testimony to them that Your Covenant to them are established and they will be brought to fruition. Praise be to Your Name, God Most High.

REQUESTS:
Father, I pray that President Trump is not swayed by the allure of making the ultimate deal to bring peace to Jerusalem. May he receive the wisdom from above, and more so, may Mr. Trump have the self-control needed to do Your bidding. Father, I ask that the United States not play a role in the division of Jerusalem.

He has accomplished amazing things and I am grateful. Yet, I cannot dismiss this issue on the division of Jerusalem. Father, Zechariah 12: 1-3 is here. Has it been here before? Will it be here again in the future? I pray the United States will not take part. I ask that You soften the hearts of U.S. decision makers to support Jerusalem and Israel without reservation.

Father, I ask that Your hand of withholding upon Jared Kushner. Has he not been a behind-the-scenes player? May Your wisdom be upon him. May Your compassion and prophetic Words for Israel and Jerusalem be within him. May only truth come forth from his lips.

Father, have mercy upon Jared Kushner. May devious intentions from those with whom he works be evident. Father, may his pride be kept in check, for he is a man and suffers as we all do. Keep his lips from evil and his tongue from speaking guile.

Father, may the U.S. not be part of the division of Your beloved land.

May the U.S. have no presence in putting pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu to divide the land. I seek You selfishly on this as I fear for the safety of the United States. Yet, Father, I bid You to fulfill Your will on Your timetable. I bend to Your ways, for they are not my ways.

Father, President Trump has done much for Israel. May he do so honorably, without desiring something back. I ask that his heart be pure before You. Have mercy O Lord. Your Word is sure and I pray Your will. I pray with urgency. Have mercy O Lord.

You know the plans that President Trump has, as well as his Middle East intentions. Grant him (and Jared Kushner) insights on the players in this complex situation. What about President Mahmoud Abbas? He lives. He influences. Father, I bend to Your sovereign purposes. Have mercy O Lord.

READINESS:
Ready us for what is to come. Grant us, Your church, urgency to pray for our leaders as You command us to do. Give us words beyond our imagination to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

What will the withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal begin? Father, You know the ramifications on this action. Thank You that Truth about the deal is surfacing. Fear takes over from the threats from Iran.

Yet, Father, we know that You bring good out of every circumstance to those who love You and have been called according to Your purpose. Grow our love for You. Grow our awareness of Your purposes and invigorate us to move swiftly.

Is the harvest ripe? It must be. Awaken us, Your church O Lord. May we rise up and proclaim that You have redeemed us. May we get involved with the harvest. Equip us completely with the Word, to present and protect our faith.

Equip us with the whole armor that You have provided, that we may stand strong in our commitment, ready with our testimony, and unmoved by the enemy who stands by, ready to steal, kill and destroy.

...and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,

The U.S. and Iran Deal...a prayer for godly wisdom

***The U.S. and Iran Deal...a prayer for godly wisdom.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Your Word:

Psalms 122:6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

In direct obedience, I come praying for the peace of Jerusalem. You have commanded that I do so. Many are concerned with the Iran Deal and we bring our concerns directly to You. Your Word focuses on the nations in the middle east, extending outward. So this focus for peace centers around Jerusalem. We need Your wisdom to pray. Our leaders need Your wisdom.

May believers in the United States grow a love for Jerusalem in their hearts for You. It is Your city. It's very meaning is City of Peace, Foundation of Peace. Iran threatens Israel and Jerusalem. We need Your wisdom to pray. Our leaders need Your wisdom to make godly decisions.

We lack knowledge and understanding. Our desire is to pray in accordance with Your Word. I pray for our leaders—grant them the wisdom from above. Grant them insights into the Iranian mindset to understand the triggers that define their words and actions. Grant every person involved in these decisions a spirit of humility that he or she needs You. May they clearly admit their impotence; that regardless of their "intelligence," their wisdom is limited. They need the wisdom from above. May they be cognizant of this fact and search Your Word and pray fervently for Your guidance.

We are already at war with the enemy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Again, and again, I ask that You raise up an army of prayer warriors. May prayers rise up before Your throne of grace unceasingly from this nation on behalf of our leaders, those in authority, and for the peace of Jerusalem.

Your Word promises to give wisdom, "liberally" to those who ask for it. I am here asking for it. I ask on behalf of our leaders: President Trump, Vice President Pence, decision makers and influencers in our armed forces, lawmakers in Washington and each state in the U.S. Father, I'm asking for wisdom for this nation, that we may confess our sin and return to You. Pour out Your spirit of wisdom that we may see our sin. May teachers and preachers of Your Word have the courage to speak out with conviction that this nation confess and repent of our sin.

We lack wisdom. May our leaders and decision makers know that their wisdom, regardless of the extensive network of information, is limited. Urge our leaders to seek Your wisdom. May they acknowledge their limitations and by Your Spirit, see Your wisdom...the wisdom from an omniscient God, who gives liberally to those who ask.

Beckon our leaders to acknowledge their need. May every one of them realize and confess their sin before You, that You may delight in pouring out of Your wisdom.

We need You. May this nation again...rejoice in You alone.

Hear my heart before Your throne of grace and mercy,

In Jesus’ Name.
