Chuck Pierce: "Israel
Prayer Request--From Eitan Shishkoff"
 I
am forwarding a prayer request from Eitan Shishkoff, who is the apostolic
leader of five congregations throughout the Haifa area of Israel, one fellowship
being in Nazareth.
Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce
Israel Prayer
Request from Eitan Shishkoff
Dear Intercessors,
The Book of Esther focuses on the attempt of Persia (Iran) to wipe out
the Jewish people. An unchangeable edict is made demanding their destruction.
The power and authority of the Persian Empire is aimed at (exiled) Israel's
total destruction. This attempt is foiled when the King's wife, whose Jewish
identity has been hidden, appears before the king after calling her people to a
breakthrough fast. In the process, Esther's mentor Mordecai, utters these
immortal words:
Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the
king's palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you remain completely
silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another
place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you
have come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:13,14
Here are some gripping parallels with Israel's situation:
1. The principality seeking Israel's destruction was Persia---modern day Iran.
2. Esther, representing believers in Israel's God (Jesus' true followers of
today), had a choice whether to speak up, identifying with the Jews, or to be
silent.
3. The cost of not speaking up and interceding for the salvation of the Jews at
a time of catastrophic danger, would be their own demise.
4. Implied in Esther's timing and availability, was the dimension of God
sovereignly choosing her to bring God's deliverance.
5. Esther went before the King, who alone had the authority to stop the
murderous attack upon the Jews. Being his bride, she had favor.
Beloved friends, I believe this comparison is given for our instruction and
inspiration. Those who love Yeshua, must now arise and go before the King to
secure Israel's physical and spiritual deliverance.
Current
Developments
I cannot possibly write these words or send out this e-mail fast enough, to keep
up with the developments in the war on my nation of Israel. The entire region
around Haifa is under bombardment. Many 100's of rockets have fallen throughout
northern Israel, the Galilee, where I, and thousands of Messianic believers
live, work, and worship.
Akko, Upper Nazareth, Tiberias area, Haifa, and the
Kryot (nearest the large oil refinery Hizbollah is targeting), are the exact
locations of the congregations I serve. Towns that have never been hit this way,
or at least not for decades, are experiencing the wickedness of Hizbollah,
propelled to this madness by Iran (Persia). Israeli citizens
have been killed in their own homes, after our government has gone to
sacrificial extremes to withdraw from conflict. But conflict is obviously not
withdrawing from us.
In recent years, the Spirit of God has been arousing Christians on every
continent, to love and pray for Israel. It would seem that you have been brought
to the Kingdom for just "such a time as this," when there is a life and death
need, to intercede before the King for Israel's enemies to be destroyed.
How then, Shall We Pray?
Here are a few simple suggestions. May God guide you and take you to an
unprecedented place of identification with Israel, intimacy with Himself, and
intensity in spiritual warfare.
LET GOD ARISE. LET HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED; LET THOSE ALSO WHO HATE HIM FLEE
BEFORE HIM. Psalms 68:1
This is God's battle. Let us call on Him who loves Israel and has established
her for His testimony in the earth. We
can authoritatively pray confusion and dissolution upon Israel's enemies. Pray
utilizing passages like Isaiah 41:8-14, in
which God makes clear that He has brought Jacob back to his land, and that He
will uphold us with His righteous right hand. "Those
who were incensed against you, shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as
nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish." Isaiah 41:11.
It is entirely Biblical and would grab the attention of our nation, if this
war were to be decided through overtly miraculous intervention on God's part.
Let us pray so.
SALVATION BELONGS TO THE LORD. YOUR BLESSING IS UPON YOUR PEOPLE. Psalms 3:8
This entire chapter is vividly relevant to our situation. It also speaks of the
danger we are in, of God arising and of the enemy being broken. But God's
interest is always ultimately in the salvation of His people.
"How shall we look to Him whom we have pierced." (Zechariah 12:10)
We are surrounded by enemies and pressed to look beyond our previous national
conclusions about who or what Messiah is. It is time to pray for our eyes to be
opened to Yeshua. This is not the final battle, but it is a prelude. Please
pray for fresh BOLDNESS, FAITH, LOVE, UNITY and the SUPERNATURAL LEADING of the
SPIRIT for all of Israel's Messianic believers.
BUT YOU, O LORD, ARE A SHIELD FOR ME, MY GLORY AND THE
LIFTER OF MY HEAD. (Psalms 3:3).
Clearly, we need God to be our shield. Some missiles have been falling into the
Mediterranean Sea. Another hit a grove of trees inside a very crowded
residential/commercial area in Haifa. I just spoke with the leader of the Akko
Messianic congregation, who told me that the three-story building that was
destroyed in Haifa, was EMPTY! He said a synagogue in Akko, was wiped out only
10 minutes after its worshipers walked out. Angelic protection is an established
reality in the history of Israel's conflicts...both in Bible times and in recent
history such as the Six Day War in '67.
Father, we call upon You, to release angelic hosts to deflect weapons aimed
against us, and to place shields over our soldiers, and over our citizens. And
may those who are truly innocent in the territory we are having to
counter-attack, be spared as well.

 "The Worship Warrior"
Ascending in Worship, Descending in War
by Chuck Pierce with
John Dickson
$14.99
Book
The war in the earth
realm has always been over worship, fought by worship, and won
by worship. Lucifer, the chief cherub, led the angelic hosts
in Heaven in the worship of the Creator. However, he made a
decision that he no longer wanted to be a worshiper, but he
wanted to be worshiped. This is when WORSHIP WARS began.
Today, they continue in the church, in the earth, and in the
Heaven above the earth.
 "You hold in your hands a weapon of warfare to be wielded only
by the worshipful. This book will change your life--as you
become a worshipful warrior." --Tommy Tenney, Author of
The
God Chasers
"The Worship Warrior gives us fresh insight into the marvelous
relationship of worship and warfare. For the days ahead, we
must learn how to ascend first in worship, receiving strength,
wisdom, and courage and then descend into battle to push back
the gates of hell and establish His Kingdom." --Dutch
Sheets, Author of Intercessory Prayer

 "New Covenant Messianic Prayer Shawl and Matching Talis Bag"
by Shofars from Afar
$40.00
Prayer Shawl/Talis Bag
This beautiful prayer shawl is
new. It has been designed to bring a New
Covenant meaning to the traditional Talit. This new Talit has the ancient Messianic Symbol that was discovered on Mount Zion on artifacts. The traditional Jewish prayer shawl has everything to do with
committing your heart to receive righteousness by following the laws of Moses. But, we know that Yeshua fulfilled all the law, and we have been covered in His righteousness.
Overall Dimensions: 22" X 72"
As a Christian and one who celebrates not being under the law, I have actually, at times, reflected on the beautiful elements the Jewish people utilize in worship and remembrance of Yeshua--the prayer shawl being one lovely part of their lifestyle of prayer. This "New Covenant" messianic prayer shawl is inscribed on the four corners with powerful scriptures in remembrance of the New Covenant--primarily focusing on the fantastic and liberating truth that righteousness is in Christ alone. You'll be blessed and reminded to pray to the One who has fulfilled all righteousness!
--Blessings,
Steve Shultz, The Elijah List

We love the creative and beautiful expressions the Lord is releasing to His people -- to help us to better comprehend and express His glory.

--Blessings,
Steve Shultz, The Elijah List
 "The Healing" Scarf (Red):
There are 2 elements: The wine, speaking of HIS BLOOD (which removes our sin);
and the bread speaking of HIS BODY (which has healed us emotionally and physically).
 "The Song of Song" Scarf (Purple):
There are many interpretations of the Song of Songs. Some are calling this the "Bride" scarf. Often this verse is used at weddings and even engraved on wedding rings. Our ultimate joy will be when the Lord makes us His Bride! Let this be a reminder to draw closer to Him, and stay pure and holy so we will be ready.
The Celebration "Peace" Scarf (Royal Blue):
 "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee," is not just a suggestion but a command from God's Word to all of us whether we are Jew or Gentile. This scarf was designed to Celebrate: Israel as a Nation, 50 plus years in the land, and God's everlasting love and mercy to His chosen people. (Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 31:3); Gentile believers who are "grafted in" and have a love and commitment to Israel and the Jews. (Romans 11:17-24, Isaiah 49:22);
and God's Word, and that it will not return unto Him void, as we "pray for the peace of Jerusalem." (Isaiah 55:11, Psalms 122:6).
"The Light of the World" Scarf (White):
 Yeshua said, " I am the Light of the World; he who follows Me shall never walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life." (John 8:12) Yeshua also said to us, "You are the light of the world. (Matthew 5:14) Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16) As disciples of Yeshua, we are now the Royal Priesthood. (I Peter 2:4 & 9) Just as the Levitical Priests were required to care for the menorah or lamp stand in the temple, we must follow the same directions for our "lamps," in our "temple". Daily we must trim all the sin from our lives, (Psalms 51) renewing our minds and hearts through the washing of water by the Word.
