INTRO . . .
[1-minute read]
Greetings in the LORD, our Redeemer, our King, our Glory!
A call to realign with our King. That’s the current Judaic month of Elul, a time of soul introspection. For believers in Jesus our Messiah, it’s not just 28 days out of the year but an ongoing call to continually be transformed in the renewing of our minds, souls, and hearts so we may discern the will of God, knowing what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Why ongoing? Because we are not our own. We’ve been bought with a price. A Holy, Unblemished Price: the blood of our Savior Jesus/Yeshua.
EPHESIANS 4:30-32
Therefore, we pray . . .
PSALM 139:23-24
PRAISE REPORTS!
► PATRICIA: Her August 18 throat surgery went well. Docs believe all cancer was removed! Continued prayers for God’s covering over her going forward.
► ANDREA: Had major issues on the new, stronger cancer drug, but God intervened and she’s now on a greatly reduced dose and tolerating it well. May our King’s presence and healing continue to be on her.
► KATHY: She’s been recovering from her weeks of pain, ER visits, and all the rest—and now getting stronger and regaining her life, thanks to our Lord’s love flowing over her. Please pray for her full restoration.

MAY GOD ANOINT YOU TO INTERCEDE FOR THOSE ON OUR UPDATED, ONGOING LIST for . . .
SALVATION, DELIVERANCE FROM PERSECUTION & SPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY, and for PRODIGALS/LOST SHEEP
Acts 26:17b. This Acts verse is our continual prayer for deliverance: God’s commission to Paul . . . “Open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.”
We pray that because of Romans 1:16. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile.”
#1. In this tenuous hour on the prophetic time clock, we stand in pray for B’nai Israel in the Land and throughout the world. Especially for those Jews caught up in New Age/Buddhism and those not knowing the truth of Yeshua, their Jewish Messiah.
Special mentions for salvation and deliverance:
√ The Lord’s mercies and continual healing (spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically) for all the returned hostages and their families.
√ Bibi Netanyahu–God’s hand on his heart, strengthening him, leading him, imparting wisdom to him so he doesn’t fall sway to the global noise/pressure. Also for Bibi’s family and all Israeli leadership, plus every facet of the courageous Israeli military forces/IDF, Israeli Intelligence forces/Shin Bet/Mossad/Aman, and for unity in the nation.
√ May the Lord’s garment of protection be on Jerusalem and Israel, sending angelic forces to stand shoulder-to-shoulder, a holy barrier around Jerusalem, Israel, and Your people, Lord. Guard them from their many enemies, those on their borders, those within their borders, those nearby, those globally. Move in the hearts of her enemies to turn them to You, Lord, and the righteousness of your salvation, Yeshua.
√ Lord, may your redemption truth in Yeshua intervene in Yad L’Achim, the Haredi Jewish organization focusing on countering evangelical “missionary” work in Israel
Salvation for Jewish friends and rabbis:
√ the extended Katz family, Marc, Bill, Rabbi Mendy Deitsch/family, Neil S., A.Milman/family, R.Alexander, J. Parascher, Kamegai family, J. Wulfuff/family, Bobbi/Neil, Edie/Hal, Etta, Robert, Ellen B., Barbara/family, Jackie/family, Nancy E., Doug B., Dale G., Judith L., Ruth M., Ira P. and wife, Carolyn S., Korach family, Ellen R. family
√ The Chosen’s Jewish actors Shahar Isaac, Noah James, others. [We are eternally grateful for the Lord answering our longtime prayers for actor Elijah Alexander, who now is a messianic Jew, a believer in Yeshua!]
√ Rabbi Richman, the Temple Institute, Aish.com, Pardes Institute rabbis/teachers, Rabbi Mintz/family & her longtime Torah study group, Rabbi Fohrman, Rabbi Wyne, Rabbi Goodman, Rabbi Herlig/Chabad, Rabbi Hecht and family, Rabbi Goodman, Rabbi Cohen, Rabbi Goldbart, Tovia Singer
√ P. Saltzman/family, J. Goldfarb, Bodner family, Goodman family, A. & R. Holliday, L. Hoffman family, M. Blechman, D. Rockelmann family, Rabin family
#2. Deliverance from Persecution
√ Believers throughout the world are under heavy, unspeakable persecution for their faith, even death. Yet they meet with “quiet courage, deep faith, whispered prayers, and memorized Scripture, willing to give everything for the sake of the gospel”, per OpenDoors.
√ North Korea tops the list, but also the DRC (1,100 Christians killed in the last 18 months), Nigeria (a Christian dies every two hours on average), Iran (a crime to be a Christian), Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, Eritrea, Syria, Pakistan, Libya, Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Philippines, China, India, Nepal, Algeria, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Cameroon, Venezuela, and on it goes.
√ For all those believers and their families who daily face being murdered, beaten, ostracized, raped (men, women, children), imprisoned, unable to make a living or have fellowship with other believers, enduring hostility, violence, constant surveillance, and driven from their homes and villages.
#3. US Government Officials & Families: Salvation
May our governmental leaders and citizens humble themselves before our LORD GOD. May any anti-Semitism be exposed and rooted out. And may their power-lust, bitterness, envy, jealousy, anger be replaced with unity and the love of God and righteous decisions for the good of the nation and its people—and may they support and bless Israel..
√ For God’s hand and leading on President Donald Trump, bringing him and his family to the TRUTH of the full gospel and the glorious redemptive gift in Yeshua, drawing them humbly closer to His Presence and holy ways, so they can serve Him with a newfound joy, a blessed assurance of what awaits them in eternity by receiving Jesus who said in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” May they fully know the gift of salvation is ALL because of what God has done, not us.
May Ephesians 2:8-10 come alive in Trump and his family and administration and all of us: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
√ For God’s leading and continued anointing on believer Marco Rubio and his family, blessing him greatly for all his righteous work for/with Israel and the nations.
√ For God’s guiding hand on VP J.D. Vance, helping him have a deeper understanding of the Word so it rises in his soul and also speaks to his wife Usha Vance (for her salvation/she’s Hindu) and their children. May J.D. walk in meekness and truth before the Lord throughout his life-calling.
√ For all unsaved members of the Trump administration and the House/Senate and their families that they’ll seek God and His Word in their political decisions and in their daily lives, putting Him first.
#4. Prodigals
