The Heart of God for Israel – 21 Day Devotional

DAY 18 OF 21

DAY 18

I Have Set Watchmen on Your Walls, O Jerusalem

“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 establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.” Isaiah 62:6-7 NKJV

God has set sentinels on the walls of Jerusalem. He has chosen to partner with intercessors to make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. God could do it all by Himself, but that is not who He is. He likes to have His children involved in His work. He enjoys sharing His plans and engaging His intercessors to make His dreams reality on earth.

God needs dedicated watchmen who will cry out to Him day and night. The intercessors for Jerusalem – as a group all over the earth – are on call 24/7. They need to be available day and night. Their task is so vital that they should never stop praying. Interceding for Jerusalem is one of the main reasons for building 24/7 houses of prayer.

God instructs His watchmen: “I want to hear your voices day and night. Don’t give me rest until I make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Do not be shy; do not be concerned about disturbing My tranquility. Do not hesitate to keep Me awake and come before Me repeatedly. You are doing My work.” There is a unique complicity between God and His night and day intercessors for Jerusalem. He assures them that He does not rest as they do not take a break.

Prayer

Our Father,

We bless Your Holy Name. We praise You for Your plans for Jerusalem. We thank You for partnering with Your intercessors to fulfill Your will for Zion. Thank you for sharing with Your children what matters most to You. We so appreciate the honor.

We pray for 100 million intercessors for Jerusalem and Israel to be raised all over the earth. We pray that Your worldwide Church will take Jerusalem’s destiny to heart and join You until she becomes a praise in the world.

We pray for houses of prayer interceding and worshipping 24/7 to emerge all over the planet. Let Your Church become a praying body partnering with Your heart and purposes.

We pray for the salvation of the Jewish people. We pray that You call and send messengers of Good News to them. We pray that You confirm their testimony with signs and wonders.

In the Name of Jesus. Amen
