Pray for Israel, the Jewish People, and the World

Praying the Word of God helps us hit the mark, aligning us with His will. We’ve created a series of one-page, downloadable prayer guides designed to guide you as you pray the Scriptures for:

• Israel: targeted requests to help you pray for the nation of God’s people
• The Jewish people: specific Biblical ways you can bless and intercede for God’s people around the world
• Jewish Voice Ministries International: invest in this ministry by lifting us up to God in prayer
• Our Outreaches: though each outreach location is different, there are some vital needs that remain constant regardless of where we go

 

Support and Prayer for Israel

Declare Israel’s identity:

"For the sake of His great name the LORD will not reject His people, because the LORD was pleased to make you His own" (1 Samuel 12:22).

For this is what the LORD Almighty says: "After He has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye" (Zechariah 2:8).

For the LORD's portion is His people, Jacob his allotted inheritance (Deuteronomy 32:9).

You shall also be a crown of splendor in the LORD’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God (Isaiah 62:3).

You shall be called Hephzibah [which means, "My delight is in her"], and your land Beulah [which means "married"]; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be married (Isaiah 62:4).

They shall call them the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted (Isaiah 62:12).

Intercede for Salvation for Israel and Jewish People Everywhere:

• For Israel to turn to the Lord so the veil may be taken away (2 Corinthians 3:11-16), and for their spiritual blindness to be removed. 
• Pray based on the Lord’s promise that all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; for this My covenant with them, when I take away their sins" (Romans 11:25-27).
• Proclaim also God’s promise that “He will cleanse them and give them a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh" (Ezekiel 36).

Pray for Israel and Her People by Calling on the Lord Regarding:

• Her leaders
• Those who protect her
• Her allies—may the United States be one!
• Her challenges
  • protection from the ongoing threat of war and terrorism from her enemies
  • pray for God to deal swiftly and justly with those who hate Israel and the Jewish People, and who seek to destroy them
  • pray for God’s solutions and provision for border disputes, housing and water shortages, incoming refugees, and other troubling internal issues
  • Her resources
  • pray for the boldness of Christian and Messianic Believers around the world through their advocacy and prayers for Israel
  • pray for a deep unity in the Spirit among all Believers in Israel that allows for an effective working together regardless of political ideologies
  • pray for the protection and effectiveness of ministries within and outside Israel such as Jewish Voice who are reaching out to Jewish People with the Good News of Yeshua, discipling new Believers, and establishing congregations
  • pray for and praise God for His faithfulness to her, and for His ongoing commitment to His many promises on her behalf

Last but not least, pray for the peace of Jerusalem and all Israel—a cry that will find its ultimate fulfillment in the Sar Shalom—The Prince of Peace, Yeshua Himself.  — Psalm 122:6

Praying for Jewish Voice Ministries

Proclaim the Lord’s Blessing and Fulfillment of Our Vision:

Jewish Voice Ministries is dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel of Yeshua (Jesus) to the Jew first and also to the Nations throughout the world, according to Romans 1:16.

We are also dedicated to equipping the Church by providing education about the Hebraic roots of Christianity, the Church’s responsibility to Israel and the Jewish People, and how to share Yeshua with the Jewish People. 

In addition, JVM partners with several other Messianic ministries to establish and operate Messianic Jewish Bible Institutes around the world to train leaders for Jewish ministry, as well as the establishment of the Messianic Career Institute.  — Ephesians 4:12

Key Verses to Pray:

“Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it" (Habakkuk 2:2).

"May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands" (Psalm 90:17).

Pray through and declare all of Psalm 91, which is a conditional covenant between God and His people.  Pray that we as a ministry would consistently and consciously dwell in the Presence and provision of the Lord, and that as we abide in Him and declare Him boldly as our God in whom we trust (vs. 1-2), we would continually be blessed by the protection the Lord promises for us in the rest of the Psalm – protection from the enemy’s schemes, from illness, terror, and harm; not only for us but for all that pertains to us and our ministry, including our partners and prayer partners!

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the body of believers and in Messiah Yeshua through all generations, for ever and ever! Amen (Ephesians 3:20-21).
