Jacobs Issues Prophetic Prayer Call for Israel

Just weeks ago, President Barack Obama made a bold suggestion—and one that has drawn the ire of Israel. Obama wants the borders of Israel and Palestine to be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed land swaps.

In a series of rapid-fire tweets from the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s media office, Israel made it very clear that it doesn’t intend to go along with Obama’s plan. Since then, prophetic intercessors have been on their knees.

“As I prayed about the current situation in the Middle East I feel that God is going to use this pressure to shake Israel up and cause them to seek His face. I saw many young Messianic believers boldly proclaiming the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ without fear of repercussions. It is time for many Jewish people to turn to the Lord,” says Cindy Jacobs, founder of Generals of Intercession. “On the other hand, the Lord is using this time to ‘test hearts’ concerning this and other nation’s stance concerning Israel as a nation.”

 Jacobs points to a June 3 video prayer alert with prophetic insight and updates from Rick Ridings, the director of the Succat Hallel, a 24-7 House of Worship and Prayer in Jerusalem.  Ryder has called for urgent prayer for Israel in the days and weeks ahead.  

 Several “Days of Rage†against Israel are currently being mobilized with massive marches planned in Jerusalem and on Israel’s borders, not as peaceful demonstrations, but for a wiping out of Israel, Jacobs notes. On one “Day of Rage” Facebook pages, with close to 400,000 followers, says “we must be willing to be a million martyrs in order to liberate Palestine.â€

Jacobs also pointed to an account of a vision about Israel Chuck Pierce shared.  As Jacobs sees it, the vision provides key insight for shifting the nation and the body of Christ into kingdom alignment and authority in this hour. 

 “In Chuck Pierce’s vision, he specifically warned of significant challenges beginning during this timeframe,” Jacobs says. “One of the most sobering aspects of Chuck’s word is the enemy’s ‘frog in the kettle’ strategy. In other words, the changes the enemy is seeking to implement will be so incrementally small that we will hardly notice them.”
