Take note of the 1st prayer on the list – for spiritual revival – one body in Christ!, Jews and Gentiles! I was personally gripped yesterday from the image of a young lady hostage that was dragged and thrown into the back of a Hamas SUV. I saw my two daughters in that scene. All I can say is I will wait with anticipation the Lord’s day when Satan will be thrown into the “lake of fire”.
A remnant prayer revival indeed! ; there are so many paths that there will be “unique” ways we are called by the Holy Spirit to pray. My path has been to pray for the proliferating disciple warrior growth of the church in Iran. As I have noted before , FAI ministries met with the church leadership in Iran a few years ago in Indonesia, for flights to a Muslim dominated country were available and not under such suspicion. FAI reported that all the leaders seemed to have a deep seated love for the nation of Israel. Can you imagine? ; given the Israeli hate they were indoctrinated with their whole life? That is an obvious miracle from God! And so, I will continue to pray, both prayers of fervent petition for them, but prayers of thanksgiving as well. That is one of my prayer paths that the Holy Spirit has called me to.

Finally, I recall how a close brother in Christ and I were impacted in a reading of one of Michener’s classic novels this past year: “The Source”, a full and complete history of the Jewish people. In it, Jewish martyrs were killed on the spot with swords by Christian crusaders for not immediately converting to Christianity. (*A-link below) Their last words were right out of scripture: “Listen Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is One.” Deuteronomy 6:4, proceeding the “greatest” commandment: “Love the Lord you God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”

As Dennis Prager has noted: What has such a small nation done to call for such singled out dreadful persecution throughout history? I would submit it is clearly spiritual warfare instigated by Satan himself. Once again, “we can’t lose, because God can’t lose!” So, stand fast for the eternal victory celebration through His unfathomable love and by His grace! Ephesians 6:13
And I encourage y’all to review the Bible verses within the link at the end of this short article.
Soli Deo Gloria!
