Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem





Bless the LORD,
Oh My Soul,
And all that is within me Bless His Holy Name!
How Wonderful,
How Glorious,
How Excellent You Are,
Almighty,
Eternal and Omnipotent Father!
You Alone Are Worthy To Be Praised And Worshiped.

Father, We Thank You For Those who Continue to Support Israel,
despite the political Climate.
Number us NOT with those who whisper lies to Your People.
Those who say "Peace and Safety" out loud,
but who inwardly plot against You and Your Beloved!
We ask You to Intervene in the Affairs of the Nations,
And Guide the Direction of Our Own.
We Plead With You,
That Our President will be Led by Your Spirit
with regards to Our Own Country's Policies.

We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.



Hallelujah and Amen

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






There are so many quotes from Isaiah in Handel's "Messiah" that the Librettist Charles Jennens COULD have called his Work "Isaiah Said This", and probably no one would have argued with him. It is, however, one thing to QUOTE Isaiah, and quite another to BELIEVE him. That is where Faith comes in, and it is not something one can "cook up" oneself. This Famous segment of the "Servant Songs" opens with the question: "Who has believed our report?". Then it continues: "And to whom has the Arm of the LORD been revealed?".

This gives you a hint that what is to follow is so DIFFERENT, so OUTRAGEOUS, that one needs a special measure of Faith that comes as a revelation from GOD, to believe it.

It goes against everything we hold dear as good sense, justice, and proper etiquette that the innocent should NEVER take the punishment for the guilty. And yet this "Servant of the LORD" is described as being exactly that.

Remembering that the original Scriptures do not have chapter divisions, we remember that this is the Same Servant is the One Who will not snuff out a smoldering wick, the same One Who won't break a bent reed, the One Who is the Conqueror, the King, and The Redeemer, the One Whose Brings Good News.

"But", You may say, "This is such a violent chapter! WHERE is the Good News?"

It's in Verse 12:

12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.



Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

God Bless America!
