The Israel Covenant

ISRAEL REPORT ON SYRIAN/IRAN THREAT –
PRAYER POINTS

As the war
in continues in Syria, Israeli officials are increasingly worried that weapons
of mass destruction positioned on Syrian soil will be used against the Jewish
state. There is a great concern that these weapons will fall into the hands of
terrorist groups such as Hazballa or Hamas.

Here’s is
what has been taking place with Syria during the past 48 hours:

“Israel
bombed a suspected shipment of antiaircraft missiles in Syria on Wednesday,
according to regional and U.S. officials, in its most ambitious strike inside
its neighbor’s territory in nearly two chaotic years of civil war there,” reports the Wall Street
Journal. “The early-morning strike in a border area
west of Damascus targeted a convoy of trucks carrying Russian-made SA-17
missiles to Hezbollah, the anti-Israel Shiite militant and political group in
Lebanon, according to a Western official briefed on the raid.”

Threats are
now coming from Iranian leaders, “Iran threatened that a reported Israeli
strike in Syria would have ‘grave consequences for Tel Aviv’ on Thursday, days
after saying that an attack on Syria would be seen as an attack on Iran,” reports the Times of Israel.
“Syria added that the attacks ‘would not go unanswered.’”

“All options
for a response against Israeli aggression are open,” an official close to the
Assad regime said, according to Syrian press reports. ”The Zionists are trying
to use the situations in Syria to restart the crisis when the government was
managing to work toward a diplomatic solution.”

“Angry
statements from Russia, Iran and the militantly anti-Israel group Hezbollah
underscored the risk that Israel’s action —  which analysts and Western
officials described as an attempt to stop the transfer of weapons from Syria to
Hezbollah outposts in Lebanon —  could hasten the spillover of the civil
war in Syria into a wider conflict,” reports the Washington Post.

“Russia
said on Thursday it was very concerned about reports of an Israeli attack in
Syria and that any such action, if confirmed, would amount to unacceptable
military interference in the war-ravaged country,” reports Ynet News. “‘If this information
is confirmed, then we are dealing with unprovoked attacks on targets on the
territory of a sovereign country, which blatantly violates the UN Charter and
is unacceptable, no matter the motives to justify it,’ the Russian Foreign
Ministry said in a statement.”

As conflict
in the Middle East continues to rise, there is an increased need to pray for
protection of Israel.

Prayer Priorities:  

-There is a need to cover especially the Northern Boarders of
Israel.

-Pray the enemies plots and plans will be exposed.

-Pray protection over Israel’s water sources and natural gas
facilities.

-Pray a prayer shield to stop any incoming rockets.

-Pray non of the chemical weapons in the hands of the Syrian
government will get to the terrorist groups.

-Pray divine guidance and strategies for Israeli government and
military leaders.

-Pray angels will be assigned to protect and defeat Israel’s
enemies in their plans to attack Israel.

-Pray during this time of national crises in Israel that Messiah
will be revealed and seen.

“And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go
forth as lightening: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with
the whirlwinds of the south. The Lord of hosts shall defend them: and they
shall devour, and subdue with sling stones.” Zech 9: 14,15

Report from Israel Today Article

Embattled
Syrian dictator Bashar Assad has ordered his military chiefs to launch
ballistic missiles at Israel if he is killed by rebel forces, according
to sources in Damascus cited by Israeli media this week.

The online newspaper Inyan Merkazi reported that Assad met
with his top generals recently to express concerns that he could be
taken out by advanced American missiles recently provided to rebel
forces, or by a violent mob similar to the one that violently murdered
former Libyan dictator Muamar Gaddafi.

Should either of those

Dear Prayer Wall Warrior

We are planning a trip to Israel to visit and pray over the Covenant Altars Abraham dedicated to the Lord. At present these sites are being claimed by Palestinians as the land for their new state. This includes dividing east Jerusalem for their capital.

The Lord has spoken to us to go to these sites. We are going to take a Prayer Shawl which is a symbol of God’s wings to these sites to pray over them and affirm God’s covenant with Israel. We are asking for those who would like to join in praying with us to mail us a 2 x 2 prayer cloth. We will attach it to the prayer shawl so your prayers go with us to these sites. When we are done visiting them, we will take this tallit and leave it on Mt. Zion so the prayers of the nations are extending from Mt. Zion out over the covenant sites from the nations. The trip will be in mid March.

In prayer the Holy Spirit asked me a question, “What is the best way to pray for the foundations of Israel?” He then answered the question, “Pray for the covenant altar sites.” God’s covenants with Israel are its foundation. Certainly we can pray from a distance, but Nehemiah new he had to go see the broken down walls and address the situation. Like Joshua, he was being led to place his feet on the land to see restoration.

If you are led to participate please mail a prayer cloth 2 x 2 inches that you have prayed over to:
Jerry Bowers

Locust Grove, Oklahoma 74352

I wish to thank each of you for praying on the Wall of Prayer this past year for Israel. The Lord, himself, will multiply blessings back to you for your faithfulness. Please also pray for needed finances for our travels and our safety for the trip.

Shalom Blessings for the New Year,

Jerry & Margie Bowers

PRAYER STRATEGY FOR ISRAEL 2013

“Contending for the High Ground Covenant Altars
& Peace for Jerusaelm”

In
the Article below we are now learning more about how the Arab Palestinians are
planning to attack Israel and their strategy of claiming and occupying the
spiritual high ground to remove Israel.

New Terrro Group Announces Beginning of Third
Intifada    YNet News  Dec 17th
     
“Arabs in the West Bank city of Hebron have declared the establishment of the ‘National
Union Battalions,’ which will be jointly headed by members of Hamas, Fatah,
Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front of the Liberation of Palestine as a means
of consolidating the struggle against Israel. In its announcement, the group
stressed that while it supports the UN’s recognition of Palestine as a
non-member Observer State, it will fight to recover ‘all of Palestine – from
the sea to the river.” In the video message, taped Friday, the group’s
members say “This is the beginning of a third Palestinian intifada, which
is erupting from the heart of Hebron and will spread to all of Palestine.’ In
the clip, the group’s representatives directly threaten Israel, saying among
other things, members will kidnap soldiers and kill Israelis if their demands
are not met.”  

Make
no mistake! They only have a “One State” solution in mind and it is a
“Palestinian Only State.”  In the article
they are calling on all the factions in what they call the “occupied territory”
to join in fighting Israel using the covenant Altar sights or “spiritual high
ground.” They plan to launch a “new intifada” attack to destroy Israel and take
all the land. Hebron will be the launching site of this attack.  Why is Hebron being used by these terror
groups?  It is the burial place of the
Patriarchs such as Abraham, Isaac and Joshua that God made the covenant
promises to in the land. It is one of the four covenant altar sights were
Abraham erected altars to God in receiving the promises of the land.

Here
is the enemy’s strategy. “If you can nullify the covenants God made to the
Israelites by getting them to give up the very promised land for their
inheritance, then you negate the covenant God made with Israel> In this way,
you can take the land from them! 

It
seems that here and around the world the spiritual importance of contending for
the covenants God made with Israel by contending for these “Covenant Altar
sights” just doesn’t compute. In military terms it sounds like this, “He
who holds the high ground – wins the war.”  Fighting soldiers who come under enemy fire
from those positioned on the high ground understand this. While Christians
don’t get it, you can bet the Palestinians get it and so does the devil. This
is why the proposed land for the Palestinian State consists of all of the
Covenant Altar Sites where Abraham made covenant with God: Beth El, Shechem,
Hebron, and Mt. Moriah (temple mount). 
Mt. Moriah would be considered East Jerusalem.

We
as believers need to be blessing all the Covenant Lands of Israel by traveling
to them when possible and blessing them who have ministries in them. This would
include the Negev desert area that includes Hebron and the West Bank
territories.

Prayer
Priorities in Israel for 2012:

1.     
Pray
for God’s people to claim the spiritual high places in Israel.

2.     
Pray
peace for Jerusalem.

3.     
Pray
their enemies plans will be exposed and defeated.

4.     
Pray
for protection for the Israeli soldiers and citizens.

5.     
Pray
for more watchmen to be on the wall of prayer for Israel.

6.     
Pray
the nations will have God’s heart for Israel.

7.     
Pray
for Israeli leaders to have wisdom and direction from God.

8.     
Pray
our Governments will stand with Israel.

9.     
Pray
for the Christ’s Burning Torch of Salvation to go forth out of Zion. Isa 62:
1-2

10.  Pray all Kings and Gentiles will
see the Glory that goes forth with the Burning Torch.

11.  Pray for Laborers for the Harvest
in Israel & the Nations.

12.  Pray the prayer of Paul in Eph 1:
16-19 for the eyes of God’s people to be enlightened to know the hope of their
calling as revealed by the Revelation of the One New Man in Eph 2: 11, 14-15.

(Jew
and Gentile together, hand in hand, having special access to the Father. Eph 2:
18)

Footnote: At the
United Nations vote in Nov 2012, the U.N. recognized a Palestinian State with
part of Jerusalem as its capital. Only 9 nations voted against this. Of them
only one nation in Europe stood with Israel. The Western mind set doesn’t
understand the mind set of Islam. They believe that you never give land you
once claimed to an infidel. This is why they won’t recognize a Jewish State.
They will never agree to the “two state” solution, but they will take the land
if offered so they can use it as they have Gaza to attack Israel. There is a
need for a “strategic prayer strategy” to stand with Israel. Most do not
realize that at each of the covenant altar sights, where God made covenant with
Abraham, there are blessings to be released to the Body of Christ (Yahshua).
Spiritual battles are fought with spiritual weapons contending in the
heavenlies by worshiping over these areas of Israel and claiming the promises
God gave in them! This is how the prophet Isaiah put it, “I have set watchmen on your
walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who
make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He established
and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.”  (Isa 62: 6, 7) This principle in praying for
Jerusalem is applicable for these other sites.

An
example of contending for one of the Covenant Altars: Beth El. (Rammallah)

This is the birth
place of Israel. It is where Jacob’s name was changed to “Israel.” It is where
he had the vision of the angels ascending and descending on a ladder to heaven.
Beth El means “The House of God.” Jacob made this declaration, “This is none
other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” (Gen 28:17) Today,
the Palestinians have their headquarters located at this site. They are trying
to rebuild the altar of Baal in this place. They even have Baal on their
postage stamp.

The
Blessings of the Altar of Beth El
for those who will claim them:

1)     
Restored
Dreams given to God’ people

2)     
Restored
Gateway of Revelation to God’s people

Prayer for Israel as
we close the year

Throughout 2012 Pray for Nations with your help has prayed for every
nation on earth to Enthrone Christ for the soon coming Harvest. We close out
the year praying for Israel and Peace for Jerusalem.

The Lord spoke through the Prophet Zechariah concerning the events of
our day,

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a
cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding nations, when they lay siege against
Jerusalem. I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who
heave it away will surely be cut to pieces, through all nations of the earth
are gathered against it.”  Zech 12:
2,3

It is the intent of the Arab nations backing the Palestinians to take
Jerusalem from the Jews and all of the State of Israel which they refuse to
recognize. Here is the good news for believers. God will not allow this and
will judge those who try to do this.

This coming year is about “Alignment.” 
If we are aligned to stand with Israel we shall be blessed. The prophet
Isaiah reveals a day is coming when the glory of God will be seen coming out of
Jerusalem and Zion and that all kings shall see the glory! Jerusalem shall be
seen as a royal crown in the hand of our God and so will those who are standing
in covenant with Israel. (Isa 62: 1-2) 
In this coming season the alignment with Israel will determine the fate
of nations, tribes and peoples. The Muslim Brotherhood that empowers Hamas in
Gaza and Egypt and are in line to take over Syria are putting in place a plan
to have power over the whole region and to destroy Israel. This plot will be
revealed as Hamas now sensing its power and influence continues to attack
Israel. Here is what was reported last weekend on these plans:

Israel Today Report

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week pointed to the
overtly hostile rhetoric of Hamas coupled with Palestinian leader Mahmoud
Abbas’ efforts to reconcile with the terror group as the primary reason that
true, lasting peace is currently unachievable.

Over the weekend, Hamas marked its 25th
anniversary with a gala event in Gaza City. In attendance was overall Hamas
leader Khaled Mashaal, who usually resides in Damascus. Speaking before
hundreds of thousands of Gazans, Mashaal declared:

“Palestine is our land and nation from
the (Mediterranean) sea to the (Jordan) river, from the north to the south, and
we will not cede even one inch of it.”

The Hamas leader recently gave an interview
to CNN in which Mashaal stated that he was ready to accept a Palestinian state
in the pre-1967 borders. His words in Gaza this past weekend are further
evidence that it is impossible to trust what Palestinian leaders say in
English, and it is their pronouncements in Arabic that must be given greatest
weight.

Mashaal went on to insist that political,
diplomatic and legal efforts to achieve control of the land must be coupled
with violence. He explained that all non-violent methods are “senseless in
the absence of resistance,” which is how the Palestinians define their
acts of terrorism against Israelis.

Prayer Agreement: Continue
to Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and for Watchmen on the Walls of Jerusalem
to occupy their place and cry out day and night over the promises of God for
Israel until God makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Isa 62: 6,7

As you stand with
Israel this year, you are a royal crown in the hand of our God! 

“Palestinians Set to Win
Observer Status at U.N.”

On  Nov 29^th
a vote will be taken at the U.N. in New York

Despite the recent
violence between Hamas and Israel, Palestinian President Abbas said he will
push ahead with plans for a vote at the U.N. General Assembly before the end of
the month on November 29^th to give the Palestinians the rank of an
“observer state” within the world body of the U.N. rather than the
present “observer entity”. The upgrade would mean the new Palestinian
state would have a recognized territory which includes Jerusalem as its capital
and the West Bank as its land. This includes all of the covenant altars where
God made covenants with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joshua. The very birth place
of Israel which is Beth El where God changed Jacob’s name to Israel will be
their headquarters.

Abbas
declares, “We are going to the United Nations to vote on the resolution of
our becoming an observer state on the 29th of this month (Nov). Nothing will
deter us,” Abbas stated. (This means Jerusalem will be recognized as their
Capital “a divided capital.) Both Israel and the United States have condemned
the planned vote, which Abbas looks set to win, saying it violated the 1993
Oslo accords, which were intended to pave the way to a “final status
agreement” within five years.

The last
time the U.N. considered this request from Abbas Hurricane Sandy hit New
York.  This upgrade in status to be voted
in New York at the U.N. recognizes a Palestinian State with Jerusalem as its
capital, and the four covenant altar sites where God made covenant with Abraham
as its territory (Beth El, Mt. Moriah, Shechem, and Hebron). If this is done
there will be a judgment hit from God that will make Hurricane Sandy that hit
New York the last time this came up look like a summer breeze. As a nation we
just don’t get it! When we allow or participate in any form with a process that
divides the covenant land of Israel we reap a judgment. It was assured in Gen.
12:3 when God stated, “Those who bless you I will bless, and those
who curse you I will curse.”  The
Prophet Joel makes it clear that final judgment on earth for the nations has to
do with God declaring, “You have divided the land (Israel) and scattered my
people.” Joel 3:1

The Prophet Zechariah predicts that
in the last days the nations around Israel will contend to lay siege against
Jerusalem and Israel to take the land. The result is that to them Jerusalem
will be as a stone around their neck and a curse. The Lord says of these
nations, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of intoxication unto all the
people round about, when they shall be in the siege against Judah and against
Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the
people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all
the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zech. 12: 2-3

Declaration:

“Father God,
as the body of Christ in America, we declare this vote to divide Jerusalem to
belong to the Palestinians to be canceled in Jesus’ name. We disapprove this vote.
We recognize Jerusalem as the undivided Capital of Israel. We decree the plans
and plots of the enemy to usurp your covenant promises to the Jewish people
will be exposed and defeated. We declare America will stand in covenant
alignment with God’s promises to Israel. We stand with the covenant land of
Israel to declare this land will not be divided on our watch. We believe that
we can cast our vote in heaven ahead of what the enemy is planning at the
U.N.  We declare in Jesus name, “This planned
vote to make Jerusalem the capital of the Palestinians is cancelled and will
not be affirmed.”

THIRTEEN MERCIES OF GOD

PRAYER POINTS

“God’s Intervention
in Israel’s War”

God made a covenant
regarding His 13 Attributes in Exodus 34: 6-7, 10. The Jews believe that in
this covenant, whenever the Israelites would recite these Thirteen Attributes of Mercy
in a time of trouble, God would come to their aid. We need God to come to the
aid of the people and land of Israel for the fire and rain. (See also Deut. 30
and Isa 4)

(includes Gentiles), and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the
spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning. The Lord will create above
every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke
by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night.  For the glory of the Lord will be her
covering (extends to Gentiles who stand with Israel).” Isa 4: 3-5

Missiles Fired at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem

At least one missile hit Tel Aviv on Friday afternoon. The
missile landed in an open area and did not cause any injuries, but the impact
and explosion could be heard and felt across the Greater Tel Aviv area.

On Thursday, Tel Aviv was hit by two missiles from Gaza. It
was the first time Israel’s coastal metropolis had sustained a direct missile
attack since the first Gulf War over 20 years ago, and marks a major escalation
in the current conflict.

Earlier on Friday, dozens of missiles fired by Gaza-based
terrorists hit cities across southern Israel. At least three people were
wounded, and widespreaddamage was
reported.

All this happened as Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Kandil
was paying a solidarity visit to Hamas in Gaza. Kandil provided both cover and
legitimacy to the Hamas regime, and blamed Israel alone for
the ongoing violence.

Kandil claimed to be in Gaza for the sake of restoring calm,
but his boss, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi revealed that the real reason
behind the visit was to threaten Israel.

Following morning prayers in Cairo, Morsi was quoted by
Egyptian newspaperA-Sharq as saying that “Gaza won’t be alone this
time” and cautioning that Israel will “pay a heavy price if it
continues to attack in Gaza.”

Israel did continues to strike Hamas installations in Gaza
throughout the day. But the missile strikes on Tel Aviv marked a serious
escalation for which many in Israel demanded a more serious response.

On Friday morning, Israel’s military leadership began the
call-up of a first wave of 16,000 reserve soldiers. At the same time, media
outlets reported that Israeli armor was massing on the Gaza border.

Pray for Angelic protection and intervention for Israel and
for peace! Pray the plots of the enemies of Israel will be exposed and
defeated.

A ONE NEW MAN ARMY

War is stirring in the air in the Middle East. Syria has fired mortars into the Golan Heights. Hezbollah continues to fire rockets at Israeli towns while Iran speeds towards a nuclear weapon to destroy Israel. Egyptian tanks are positioned in the Sinai in the south. Palestinian leaders are claiming Jerusalem as their capital of their new state. What will be Israel’s greatest defense to these threats? What armies will arise to stand with Israel? What will be her defense?

The Real Battle for Israel. The real issue behind the battle defines why and how the battle is fought for Israel. The real issue has to do with contending for the land of Israel and the covenant promises made by God. The real issue is how do we stand in alignment to God’s covenant promises to Abraham and the House of David. God will defend his covenant promises to Israel. Those who seek to have Israel violate covenant with God will always incur judgment. Those who defend Israel and her faithfulness to covenant will be blessed. (Gen 12:3)

The One New Man Revelation. The One New Man revelation in the earth is awakening a great army to stand with Israel. God is removing the wall between Jew and Gentile (Christian) so the two will be one in Christ. (Eph 2:14-16) The result is the restoration of the foundation of the Church with the apostolic and prophetic foundations restored creating a “holy temple” (literally tabernacle of meeting) for the habitation of God’s glory. (see Eph 2: 20-22) The apostolic government which is needed in America or in other nations will not come into its fullness until it includes the “One New Man” of Jew and Gentile in its foundation. There is coming to America an Antioch expression of the Church which establishes the Apostle and Prophet for the body of Christ aligned with the revelation of the One New Man. This will bring the restoration of the Tabernacle of David for the last days prophesied in Acts 15: 15-17.

One New Man Army Arising! We see foreshadowed in King David’s rise to become king a realignment to God’s Covenant Promises. God raised an army of “Mighty Men” who gathered to David in Hebron. It was an Army of Jews and Gentiles that came together to restore Israel to covenant promise which meant realigning Israel from King Saul to King David. The kingdom had to be realigned! This is where we are today. There is a Saul spirit operating through the U.N. and many of its nations to give part of Jerusalem and all of the covenant altars sites to a Palestinian State. This month another attempt will be made to have the U.N. Nations recognize Palestine as a non-member state with Jerusalem as its capital. Hurricane Sandy’s direct hit on New York’s financial district which included the United Nation’s building was the result of the last attempt to get the U.N. to vote on this. We need to pray this vote is not attempted in New York this month or there will be more judgment to hit the east coast. Should this motion be passed essentially dividing Jerusalem there will be judgment on America such has never been seen.
A Prophetic Picture of the One New Man Army. In King David’s day there is a picture of Jew and Gentile coming together to realign the kingdom of Israel from Saul to David. This army is seen in I Chron. 12. Mighty men of valor began to rise up to stand with David and join him in Hebron to realign the kingdom. Warriors came from the Tribes of Israel but also from the Gentile Gibeonites, who were descendants of the Amorites who were the arch enemies of Israel. ( I Chron. 12:4) There were also Seven Captains with 1,000 men each from the Philistine Army. (I Chron. 12: 20) They came as Jew and Gentile to stand with David to realign Israel to covenant promise. Why did they gather to such an insignificant place as “Hebron?” It is the burial place of Abraham, Isaac, Joshua and the Patriarchs. It is here they will stand on the foundation promises God made to Israel so there can be realignment. Scripture says these men of war knew how to “keep rank” and came with a “perfect heart.” The term “keep rank” is a military term meaning they had the discipline to march in unity and move as one under their leaders. The “perfect heart” means they were completely loyal and surrendered to God’s purpose for Israel. For three days they gathered with David to make him King to realign Israel. The result is the Ark of the Covenant was brought back to Jerusalem in I Chron. Chapters 13-15. The One New Man Army of Jew and Gentile came together to declare agreement and alignment with God’s promise to Israel.

Restoration of the Tabernacle of David. The result of the One New Man Army realigning Israel to covenant with God was the Ark of the Covenant coming to the Tabernacle of David in Jerusalem that David built. The prophet Amos and the book of Acts tell us this will happen again in the last days so all mankind will seek the Lord. (Amos 9: 11-12; Acts 15: 15-17) The result will be a last day harvest of souls so the reaper overtakes the sower of the seed, and the cities of Israel are restored and replanted. (Amos 9: 13, 14)

Aligning to Covenant Promises in Israel. There are 4-Key Covenant Altar Cities in Israel where Jew and Gentile need to agree to stand for the realignment of Israel to covenant with God. They have been taken over by the enemies of Israel. Each represents a blessing and the promise of God for Israel and the nations. They need to be reclaimed in prayer. They are:
-Beth El: Gateway of restored revelation and dreams
-Shechem: Outpouring of God’s Spirit
-Hebron: Restoration of the Father’s heart and intimacy
-Mt. Moriah: Salvation, deliverance, provision

The Tabernacle of David Restored. God is calling forth a “One New Man Army” in our day to spiritually gather at Hebron with the promises made to Abraham and the House of David. This army exalts Christ as Messiah who is the seed of David and the covenant promises made to Israel to prepare for the final harvest and the revelation of God’s glory. This army is the “Tabernacle of David” restored in the earth! The stones used to build this tabernacle are living stones. It is made up of “The One New Man.”
