💞 Dear Royal Praying Priests, shalom!
💎 “praising God and having favour with all the people. And every day the Lord was adding to their number those being saved.” (Act 2:47, TLV)
We have been called to pray for the salvation of Jewish people with a strong commitment since 2015. It is our desire to see the fullness of the Gentiles coming in and all Israel being saved (Rom 11:25-26)! Today let us review how we can pray for the Messianic believers all over the world.
- Favour with All the People (Act 2:46-47)
After Apostle Peter addressed the Shavuot (Pentecost) crowd, the New Covenant Community began! The first Messianic believers devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal and the prayers. All the believers lived in a wonderful harmony and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was met. They practiced what they believed, and won favour with all the people. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved. In the same way, let us pray that the Messianic congregations will demonstrate the powerful testimony to praise God and have favour with all the people, so their number continues to grow!
- Miracles and Wonders (Act 5:12-14)
Through the hands of the apostles, many signs and wonders were happening among the people. The apostles were highly regarded by the people continuously. Large numbers of men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number. The first Messianic believers experienced the promises in Mark 16:15-20 vigorously, and the same promises are also destined for us today! Let us pray that when the Messianic believers go out and proclaim everywhere, the Lord works with them closely and confirms the word by the signs that follow, so many Jewish people who are in the bondages of addictions, lies, New Age or false religions will be set free to follow Yeshua!
- Being Mighty in Scriptures (Act 18:24-25, 27-28)
Apollos was a learned man and with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. He powerfully refuted the Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that the Messiah was Yeshua! Apollos was with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures can also be translated as Apollos was well versed in the scriptures or mighty in the scriptures. He had the wisdom and ability to demonstrate through the Scriptures who Yeshua really is to the Jewish people. Let us pray that the Lord will raise many Apollos among the younger Messianic generations, so they are teachable and humble, and are powerful to quote the scriptures for leading people to the Messiah.
🙏 Dear Father, thank You for calling us to stand with the Messianic believers through our H2Z Prayer Movement (From Mountains of Heaven to Mount Zion). Today, we re-dedicate our lives to prayers until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in and all Israel is saved. In the name of Yeshua we pray and bless You, Amen.
