Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom-----
Of course it's time to pray. The call to "cut off the head of the snake" is in issue. Keep praying as the Lord leads. And can Almighty God speak to you and me during a horrific war, as is now the case in Israel? Yes, of course. Unleashing "the gates of hell" by the Israelis in retribution for the massacre is only part of the war.
There is a deeper, spiritual dimension to this war beyond the political and immediate physical dimension, all allowed by Almighty God, to turn all of us to Him. In addition to the obvious prayers, we need to pray for His Eternal Truths to surface, as they have among Jews and Arabs, and all other nations, ever since Yeshua/Jesus rose from the dead. We are to overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:21). That includes radically changing minds and hearts that today reject Him. Yeshua " abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father." (Ephesians 2: 15-18).
Where is one main root of the lingering enmity? At the heart of the war is the anti-Christ, satanic spirit of hate, drunk in by Islamic zealots, not just Hamas, revenge upon revenge, over any jewish access to what they incorrectly believe is sacred islam territory: the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. They even named their Hamas/Iran invasion "taking over the Temple Mount." Indoctrinated in every muslim is the bold lie that the Temple Mount, which they say Mohammed dreamed about, is forever a possession of Islam, and every Muslim is required to reclaim or possess it ----or they will go to hell.
There is no spiritual authority for their belief. Muhammed, who had blood on his hands, never set foot in Jerusalem. Yes, hell is an issue. But Almighty God has already set up the Way to escape hell: belief in Yeshua, the perfect Lamb whose blood covers the sins of every human. Every Muslim, and you and I, will go to hell if he or she doesn't choose Yeshua as Messiah. Yeshua/Jesus twice said: "unless you repent you will all likewise perish." (Luke 13:2-5). That includes every person on His Planet, you and me, all Jews, and including the 1.1 billion Moslems. Thank God, at some point, "all Israel will be saved." (Romans 11:26). Pray that all Moslems will follow into Yeshua's Kingdom also.
Yeshua/Jesus proclaimed He was, and clearly is: "One greater than the temple. " (Matthew12:6). And in due season, the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of the New Jerusalem: " But I saw no temple in it, for the LORD God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light." (Revelation 21: 22-23). Once you and I have repented and come into His Kingdom, we then are seen by Almighty God as the temple of the Holy Spirit: Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16).
Almighty God is in charge of the entire earth, including Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. Our calling in Christ is to bring others into His Kingdom, so that they too become temples of God through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

The ICEJ is hosting its Global Prayer Gathering DAILY until further notice."We are committed to stand with Israel in prayer. We would love for you to join us for timely updates, prayer, and worship. Please join us daily at 9:00 a.m. (ET) at icej.org/ICEJGlobalPrayer."
In addition to prayer, this war calls each of us to check with the Holy Spirit to see if we truly are in the Eternal Kingdom. Traditional church has invited lukewarmness; the Lord calls us instead to be zealous to repent; only individual discipleship counts. Decide today to follow the urging of Yeshua: "Repent, the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 4:17). Don't perish; repent. (Luke 13:2-5). Every human was created by God for eternity. The question is: where will you spend it? With Him, or without Him?
"Repent" was not only Yeshua's first Word when He preached (Matthew 4:17); Preaching repentance was His first Instruction to His disciples (Mark 6:12). And shortly before He ascended, preaching repentance as well as remission of sins was His commandment to His first disciples, and to you and me today (Luke 24:47).
In the midst of this surprise attack on Israel, during a holy celebration, the LORD is in control and can turn all that is wicked to good. He will always prevail.
" When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. The Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,' says the LORD. 'As for Me,' says the LORD, 'this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants' descendants,' says the LORD,' from this time and forevermore.'"
Isaiah 59:19b-21.
Let's Pray: Almighty God awaken all to Your gift of repentance. Israel is Your Land and Your Chosen People. May its leaders have Your Wisdom in defeating this attack. Turn all that is evil to Your good. Please pour out Your wisdom for Israel’s leaders. Protect those who are protecting and defending Israel. Protect the citizens of Israel from violence and destruction. Even during this war, may the tragedy open minds and hearts, on both sides, to find You, to enter Your Kingdom, and receive through Your Holy Spirit Your peace that passes all understanding. We pray In Yeshua/Jesus' Holy Name, the Name above all names, Amen and Amen.
