Shalom intercessors and friends of Israel!

PRAYER REQUEST

"But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed."
Isaiah 53:5

Please pray for a secular Israeli Jewish friend who found out he has cancer in his lungs, bones and liver. Let’s declare repentance for salvation and healing. May he know his loving God and his Messiah Yeshua. During the Pessach seder may he remember when the Lord of Hosts by His strong hand brought us out from Egypt, that the BLOOD OF THE LAMB delivered our people from the death. That as a Jewish child, our beloved brother and friend, may be excited to find the true Afikoman (the hidden matza, the unleavened bread) that is Yeshua the Messiah of Israel. He has overcome death, He is the only way, He is the truth and He is life, for He lives before the foundation of the world.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters."Genesis 1:1-2 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. He was in the beginning with God. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."John 1:1-5

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God." John 3:16-21

The month of March was full of battles and victories.

Read about what the Lord has ministered us this month and agree in prayer. The prayer of a righteous man is worth much, if it is done based on the Scriptures. The agreement between Israel and Nations in the same spirit will make great achievements on Earth!

PURIM

We celebrated Purim in the presence of God, praying with other intercessors at Succat Hallel.

Among other points, we prayed for the women of this nation to be healed and assume their

role as “Esthers”. Women who know their identity in God, who know the true submission that is weightless, which brings life and honor.

-Pray for the Arab and Bedouin women, repressed in their rights, inserted in a polygamous system (even though this is illegal in Israel today, it is present in Bedouin villages).

-Pray for the Orthodox Jewish women who live in a context of mourning for the Temple that no longer exists. Pray that like Mary, who went to the tomb and was visited by angels, they will also be visited and discover that their Messiah has already come. May they know that they are now the Temple of the Spirit and that Yeshua LIVES! HalleluYAH!

-Pray for the young israeli women that will serve the Army and have sexual relationship before marriage, wounding and tearing their souls. In addition, they get pregnant and the Army sponsors two abortions by young, without parental consent.

-Pray for the secular Jewish women that served the Army and because of other struggles in life became rough women .

Likewise, we prayed that the men will be true "Mordechais", God fearing men who don't bow before "Hamans". They will know in God to place Esther in her position of Queen.

God is perfect in all of His ways. May there be restoration!

PURIM AND ALIYAH

Another very important aspect presented by the Book of Esther is the urgence of Aliyah.

At the time of Esther, the Jewish people had already been released to return to Zion. The Persian King, Cyrus, was the leader used by God, for through a decree in 538 BC, call our people back to our land after 70 years of exile. We can read more about it in the books of Nehemiah and Ezra.

Despite the decree, only 42.000 Jews returned. Many preferred to remain in the Diaspora, perhaps for the convenience and financial situation.

It is then that in Persia this man called Haman, a descendant of Amalek, an anti-Semite who wants to annihilate the Jewish people appears. Thanks to God for the deliverance!

In another time, in the year of 1938, a year before the Nazi invasion in Poland, God used Zeev Jabotinsky, a Jewish writer from Ukraine, to warn our people about an oncoming great danger and the urgent need to return to our land. Some heard the word of the Prophet, but most did not, and for these there was the sad end as we know it.

Read on this link, excerpts from the letter of Jabotinsky:

Similarly today, many are "comfortable" in Diaspora, others already have experienced anti-Semitism, or bankruptcy and returned.

Let us pray for a large wave of Aliyah in our days. That our people may be instructed and awakened before being "captured by hunters":

Jeremiah 16:14-16 "Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when it shall no longer be said, 'As the LORD lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,' but 'As the LORD lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.' For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their fathers. "Behold, I am sending for many fishers, declares the LORD, and they shall catch them. And afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks."

NAOMI, RUTH AND BOAZ

Still speaking of Aliyah, we understand that in addition to the book of Esther, the book of Ruth is also very prophetic in this regard.

Naomi is a Jew who left the land of Israel due to the famine in the land. She became a widow and lost her two sons in the land of Moab.

Ruth is an example of a Gentile who clings to the Jewish people to the point of saying: "But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God." Ruth 1:16

Today we pray that the "Ruths" may rise in the Nations and bring the "Naomis" back to Israel, through prayer, minister, acts of love and offerings.

"Thus says the Lord GOD:"Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and raise my signal to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders." Isaiah 49:22

We know however that the battle does not end there. The Jew returns, the "oleh chadash", and needs a lot of support in the land of Israel so that he can be settle down again.

Ruth and Naomi when returned, remained as poor foreigners for a time. They ate the spikes that were falling on the floor at the time of the harvest, as the word says: "And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God." Leviticus 23:22

The story of the family shifted when a man named Boaz agreed to be the redeemer. He married Ruth so Naomi rescued the inheritance of land that belonged to her husband. Boaz could refuse to do that, as well as the nearer redeemer refused, but Boaz chose to embrace, donate, walk another mile, and thus had the honor to be the great grandfather of King David.

Pray that today, in addition to the "Ruths", may the "Boazes" be risen in the land of Israel, to take up the cause of the new immigrants, giving opportunities, teaching, loving, devoting their selves, so Naomi can be settled and not be  uprooted from her land:

"I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,"says the LORD your God." Amos 9:15

BEN HINNOM VALLEY

"The earth is the LORD 's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein," Psalms 24:1

Some Kings of Israel, influenced by pagan Nations, descended to the Valley and burned their children in the fire, offering them to Moloch:

"They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin." Jeremiah 32:35

This was so abominable to God’s eyes, that he cursed that Valley and this was one of the reasons for the exile.

"and the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants." Leviticus 18:25

For many years, this valley was a place of garbage and corpses, however, in Jeremiah 31.40 there is a promise: "The whole valley of the dead bodies and the ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be sacred to the LORD. It shall not be plucked up or overthrown anymore forever."

After this biblical understanding, many worshipers and intercessors have been in that Valley, blowing the shofar, worshiping and making decrees to redeem the land. God has broken the curse and we have seen a nice and green place, where the birds like to inhabit.

We have taken our children to play and declare life where one day death triumphed.

JIJ-JERUSALEM INSTITUTE OF JUSTICE

http://jij.org/

On March 6^th, JIJ’s founding attorney, Calev Myers, met with Chief International Criminal Court Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda in The Hague and presented JIJ’s communication for investigation of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh for war crimes he committed during the 2014 Gaza War. Haniyeh is accused of using Palestinian civilians as human shields, firing rockets from crowded population centers, frequently encouraging civilians to remain in areas that constitute potential attack targets for the IDF and storing rockets in schools and hospitals.

Pray for JIJ’s work and staff.

BRAZIL’S DONATION TO HAMAS

We find on JIJ website an article about the law 12.292 sanctioned by Luis Inacio Lula da Silva in Brazil in 2010. This law authorizes the Government to make million-dollar donations for the reconstruction of Gaza. The problem is that we   know that through UNRWA organization these donations go directly to the hands of the terrorist group Hamas.

Let’s pray asking forgiveness for this Brazilian law and that it may be revoked as soon as possible.

In the sublime and wonderful love of Yeshua haMashiach
