Hey everyone, it's Hillary and it is day two of, let me see, day two of our, let me see
how I can tag, can I do this, oh, hmm, it said if I tag everyone it's like 66,000 followers.
So I know there were some people that wanted to pray together and I wanted to make sure
that I tagged people, so maybe I can't do it until afterwards, but let me just get started
because you can pray with me afterwards and we are in our 21 days with International House
of Prayer and millions of people throughout the globe praying for Jerusalem, praying for
Israel and when I was contemplating today how God wanted me to focus the prayer what
I kept seeing is the throne of David, that Jesus sits on the throne of David, that Jesus'
lineage and legacy is expressed as the root of Jesse.
This is miraculous, so God prepares a body for himself through the people of Israel and
let me just look, so I quoted this scripture here and I want to just read it to you and
there's so much, you know, like, for unto us a child is given, unto us a son is born, unto us a
child is given and the government shall be on his shoulders. So all of the government of the
kingdom of God is expressed in the picture of Israel and God brought forth a people miraculously,
brought forth nations out of nothing, out of a barren womb, out of an old man and through faith
and developed himself a nation through whom he promised every nation on earth should be should
be blessed and in Isaiah 11 it says, then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, a branch from
its roots will bear fruits and the spirit of the Lord will rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
He will delight in the fear of the Lord and he will not judge by what he sees with his eyes nor
make a decision by what he hears with his ears but with righteousness he will judge the poor
and decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth and he will strike the earth with the rod
of his mouth. This is the word of God, the word from the beginning. Hallelujah. And with the breath of
his lips he will slay the wicked also righteousness will be the belt around his loins and faithfulness
the belt about his waist and the wolf will dwell with the lamb and the leopard will lie down with
the young goat and the calf and the young lion and the and the fatling together and a little boy
will lead them.
Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie down together and the lion will eat straw
like the ox, the nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra and the weaned child will put
put his hand on the vipers' den, they will not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain.
For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
Then in that day the nations will resort to the root of Jesse, who will stand as a signal
for the peoples, and his resting place will be with the glorious."
The promise of God, the most precious promise of God to David, the king of Israel, was that
he would always have a descendant on the throne.
And God chose Israel, which on a map laid flat, I understand to be the center.
And from the point of Israel, everything west reads from left to right, and everything east
reads from right to left.
There are so many things that hinge upon this tiny little plot of land in the Middle East,
and we want to pray that the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that the brethren
of David, of Paul, of Jesus, of the disciples, of Daniel, of Jeremiah, of Isaiah, those that
rehearse the words, that speak them still, those so many don't know, so many don't see.
But we have been invited, we have been grafted in, and now we may stand.
We may stand for them who stood and carried this seed, this seed of the Word, this seed
of the nature and promises of God, this seed of Yeshua HaMashiach, the one who sits on
the throne of David forever, the one who was, the one who is always, and the one who
is yet to come.
His name is Jesus.
And so just in asking the Lord how to focus today on praying for Jerusalem, for the city
of peace, Jerusalem, and the nation of Israel, and the children, the generations that are
on the earth in Israel that know not God, that know not the Christ, the Messiah, the
promise for whom they have waited so long.
These are the brethren of the ones who taught us of Jesus, who brought us Jesus, who fought
for us to know Jesus.
And so in honor, Lord, of all of these people that you brought forth, these are your offspring
like we are your offspring.
These are a miracle people in the city of Jerusalem, in the nation of Israel, and scattered
to the uttermost parts of the earth.
And we cry out to you, Lord, we ask that it be time to open their eyes.
We ask that it be time to open their ears.
We ask that it be time to sanctify their imaginations, to see you, to see you in their dreams, to
see you in the mirror, to see you in situations, to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd, to
understand the Passover lamb, the blood that caused them to pass from death to life, from
slavery to liberty.
He has come and that blood sits on the throne of grace, the throne of mercy, and that they
would come boldly, Lord.
We pray that the old would not perish, but that they would speak the name Yeshua on their
lips.
We pray that the parents would not enter another season without seeing themselves through the
eyes of the El Shaddai.
his Christ. We pray that the young would not make decisions for their life, would
not understand their identity any longer apart from the revelation of the one who
formed and fashioned them in their mother's womb to be transformed into the
image of the Son of God, the Word of God, the power of God unto salvation to them
that believe, the Jew first and everybody else. And Lord, that you would
protect the children in their womb, that you would cause them to reflect on the
life they've been given and the life inside them, that there would be no
more abortions in Jerusalem and in Israel and among the Jews across the
nations, that they would be struck, as we read here, with the fear of the Lord and
they would look up and cry out, no longer wanting to be right but desperate for
the truth, hungry for righteousness, thirsty for your nearness, for your
word, for your Holy Spirit. Help them to cry out for your Holy Spirit. There are
so many spirits, so much spirituality, but only one Holy Spirit. And the fruit of
the Holy Spirit is against no law. It's the answer to everything they search.
Jesus, you're the answer to everything they seek, that there would be no more
self-loathing and no more deception and no more idolatry, that Lord, scales would
fall from their eyes like Paul's did, where they cry out for the truth and ask,
who are you, Lord? We pray that all of the desires and the prayers and the
teachings and the conversations and everything that they are motivated in
and entangled in, active in, pursuing and identified with, everything is leading
them, is converging them into an encounter with Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus
Christ. We ask all this in your name, Jesus. Open the eyes, ears, and heart of
Jerusalem. Save your people. We pray as your people, as your kings and priests.
Amen. Amen. Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Again, series of unexpected things, so I
have not yet created and dropped a Zoom link so we can do this together. But
please continue the dialogue under this video. And yes, thank you. I know like
every time I wanted to like grab a yogurt with some almonds or something, I
just kept thinking, I don't want to satisfy myself. I want to satisfy you,
Jesus. I want to satisfy your heart, Father, for your people. Teach me, teach
us how to fast and pray so that things happen, things change in the earth. I
bless you all. I bless you all. See you tomorrow. Peace.
