A very real, unseen world surrounds us. The God-directed angelic realm right now is battling in the heavenlies against the demonic influences, principalities, and wicked spiritual forces over nations, peoples, situations. From chariots of fire (2 Kings 6:16-17) to the warrior-protector archangel Michael over Israel (Daniel 10:13-21 and Revelation 12:7-12).
Those heavenly battles impact ours. Which means while on this tangible earth, you and I are fighting the unseen with swords of prayer, intercession, and praise. And The Sword, the Word of God.
Our prayers and intercession are activated in heaven . . . presented as fragrant bowls of incense before the King of Glory.
Our Joint Mission to Pray and Stand Strong
based on Colossians 4:2 and Ephesians 6:18 and Acts 2:42
(a) Throughout your day, stay connected to God, the Holy One, our Lord and Savior

[2] PRAYER ALERTS
[11] PRAYER REQUESTS & UPDATED SALVATION LIST
PRAYER ALERTS
ALERT #1. PERSECUTED CHURCH & ALAWITES
Isaiah 46:9-10
For I AM GOD, and there’s none like me, declaring the end from the beginning . . . My counsel shall stand, and I WILL accomplish all my purpose.
Request: The level of evil unleashed on the body of Christian believers (adults/children) worldwide is escalating beyond the pale and more so now as they’re being slaughtered/crucified or worse along with the Alawites (an Arab group) by al-Julani’s terror group in Syria. Demonic principalities—spirits of death and destruction—are raging over regions and peoples, performing unspeakable violent acts.
Prayer: Tear down the spiritual strongholds. Most holy King, there truly is none like you—righteous, merciful, mighty, Redeemer, Deliverer, Savior, champion, hero, everlasting love, steadfast, lovingkindness, the Great I Am. No matter how the nations, peoples, demonic realm rages, your will and purposes will be done. Your promises fulfilled. Carry and strengthen those called by your name, those facing horrific death or abuse yet faithfully professing Jesus. Bring the sweetness of fellowship and deeper teaching of the Word to those believers who walk the Gospel alone. And may your mercies embrace the Alawites; for those left alive, bring forth the understanding they need to believe and receive Jesus as Messiah so they may walk in your truth, life, way. In Yeshua’s Great Name.
ALERT #2. ZION (ISRAEL/JERUSALEM)
Isaiah 43:1
But now, this is what the Lord says, He who is your Creator, Jacob, And He who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine!” (NASB)
Request: The battles on seven harsh fronts continue. Israel—its leaders, its people—need God’s profound presence and covering.
Prayer: God’s promises fulfilled. Adonai, your enemies are surrounding and thwarting your Servant Israel. You have called them by name—they are yours. Woo them to your arms during these trials, speak life and cover them with your mercies. Strengthen their military offense and defense strategies, but through it all, may you get the glory. May Israel share with the world their words of testimony about your greatness, faithfulness, wonder, and Salvation in Yeshua. In Yeshua’s holy name.

Psalm 51:1a
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love.

Prayer: Mercy, healing, freedom in Messiah. Adonai, Jehovah-Nissi, the Lord our Banner, please stretch yourself over Matt, be his banner, his guiding light, salvation, healer, protector. There is none like you, Lord, you are El Olam, the Everlasting Father. Only you can help Matt. Please move heaven to action on his behalf . . . keep him from further incarceration.

The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
He saves those crushed in spirit.
Request: Kristine was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and needs God’s strength and presence.
Prayer: Encourage and strengthen her soul. Glorious King, Immanuel, God with us, please walk with Kristine through this valley. Let her sense your Holy Spirit falling on her so Psalm 34:18 becomes real to her. That you’re right there beside her, feeling her crushed spirit but breathing encouragement and strength over her. Help her know and hear your voice of comfort and direction. Quiet the fears as you pull her closer to you. May the truth of our Messiah Jesus heal her soul as you sustain and restore her body. In Jesus’s sweet, powerful name.
#5. CHARLENE
Psalm 6:2
Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for my bones are shaking.
Request: Charlene—breast cancer patient—was on our prior prayer lists. After a rough time with chemo therapy, mumps, and a bad infection, Charlene’s ultrasound revealed that the tumor shrunk by over 50%! Please keep the prayers going as she continues her infusion treatments.
Prayer: Help me, Lord. El Gibbor, Mighty God, thank you for your intervention, for carrying Charlene through this rough patch. You know how these fearful times cause our bones to quiver.

#6. Toni C.
Isaiah 12:2b
I will trust in Him and not fear, for the Lord gives me strength and protects me.
Request: Toni needs God’s strength as she battles COPD, diabetes, other health issues. Two times in a little over a week she has had to have the EMTs at her house. It is getting difficult for her to be alone.
Prayer: God’s covering. El Chaiyai, God of my Life, encircle your daughter Toni with your protection and send angels to minister to her in the difficult times—and please strengthen her lungs, stabilize her blood sugar, and bring to mind your Word that she’s hidden in her heart over the years serving you. May you bless her in all ways with abundant grace for your glory as you gently lead her on this next part of her journey in and with you, casting out fear and helping faith arise within her. In Yeshua’s powerful, grace-filled name.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He sent his Word and healed them and delivered them from destruction.
Request: Jewish mother and daughter, both needing prayer support. Arly for serious health issues—significantly low hemoglobin 6.1 (anemia) and a painful kidney stone plus suffering with RA (rheumatoid arthritis). And her soon-to-turn-18 Kayla needs prayer for painful gastro/stomach issues and wisdom for upcoming educational decisions.
Prayer: A touch from heaven. Faithful God, Ha’El hanne’eman ( הָאֵל֙ הַנֶּֽאֱמָ֔ן), you have shown your steadfast love and unparalleled faithfulness to Israel from the beginning. Please watch over your daughters Arly and Kayla, drawing them deeper into your love, healing, grace, comfort, wisdom. May your eyes and heart turn toward them to demonstrate your chesed (lovingkindness) giving them the answers they need medically. Usher healing under your wings as you help them find rest and hide them in the shelter of your sacred tent and set them high upon the Rock. (Psalm 27:5). Guide Kayla every step of the way as she seeks your will, not her own, so you are glorified. Baruch haba b’shem Adonai, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord . . . Yeshua.

Prayer: God’s love story. Mighty Go’el, Redeemer, step into Rabbi Mendy’s life. You see his commitment to your Law and Torah, but much like the Pharisee Saul Paulus, he needs a Damascene experience to meet the Messiah Yeshua, to learn the fullness of your Glorious Redemptive Plan, given to the Jew first, then the Gentiles. Gracious Father, pull back the veil for him, his family, his congregation so they may know the eternal joy of our Savior. In Yeshua’s majestic, kingly name.

Please cover Tony with your protection, your strength, your endless love. Carry him through these uncertain patches, guiding and comforting him and his family in your rest . . . and please give wisdom and understanding and the right treatment plans to the doctors. In Jesus’s name above ALL names.
