Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

Synopsis of a Letter from Pastor Benny Hinn

Dear ann:
Early in the morning of December 26 the Lord showed me through a dream that the nation of Israel would be involved in a serious military operation in Gaza and that a part of Hamas, the terrorist organization supported by Iran, would be destroyed at the cost of many lives. As I awoke, I was filled with grief for the lives to be lost in this conflict.

To my amazement, on the day after Christmas shortly after waking from my dream, I began hearing and seeing news bulletins about the attacks and airstrikes taking place primarily in Gaza.

Dear saints, we are told in Psalm 122:6 to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” and I ask you as my precious partner to join me in praying earnestly in six specific areas:

For God to accomplish His purpose and will, no matter what happens, during this crisis;
That the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will protect His people Israel and bring a lasting solution to the very dangerous developments unfolding in that troubled land;
For God’s holy angels to defeat the purpose of the enemy in this conflict;
That Iran will be restrained in its support of Hezbollah and Hamas, whose ultimate and united intent is to destroy Israel completely;
For Hezbollah to be defeated and restrained as they seek to attack Israel from the north; and
Especially that the Iranian nuclear threat against Israel, which is the greatest danger against God’s people and the safety of all nations throughout the Middle East, will be eliminated.

We are living in dangerous days, not only for the Middle East, but for the entire world. However, these are also glorious days of opportunity for those of us who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and proclaim His name throughout the earth.

During these prophetic days, we must hold fast to the promise of the Lord’s coming:
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:25-28)

These are the times spoken of by the prophets. This can be our greatest hour as we proclaim the Gospel boldly, no matter what happens in the world.

During this hour, our Lord Jesus has called you and me to go into all the world to preach His blessed Gospel and tell all nations that He is the Lamb of God, slain for the sins of the world; that He is the One who takes away the sins of the world, and that He is the “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6)!

The time to tell a lost and dying world about salvation through Jesus Christ is now, for “now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Let’s not wait until it is too late! Isaiah said that the time will come when men will call on the Lord, but He will not answer. But he also wrote: “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near”(Isaiah 55:6).
That time is now!

We cannot delay, nor can we lose this glorious moment of opportunity.

This a critical time for Israel, the Middle East, and the entire world.
Will you join me in the coming days to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem”?
