Praying John 12:12-16 (Complete Jewish Bible)

The next day, the large crowd that had come for the festival heard that Yeshua was on his way into Yerushalayim. *
They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Deliver us!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of ADONAI, the King of Isra'el!" After finding a donkey colt, Yeshua mounted it, just as the Tanakh says -- "Daughter of Tziyon, don't be afraid! Look! your King is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt."

His talmidim did not understand this at first; but after Yeshua had been glorified, then they remembered that the Tanakh said this about him, and that they had done this for him.

Response to the Scripture

As you purify and unite your Church, give us wisdom and revelation to know your thoughts and your plans concerning the people of  Israel and the earth to  which you will return as Bridegroom, King and Judge.

Draw near to God’s throne of grace
with the thanksgivings, prayers, & intercessions that are on your heart

🔔

The Spirit and the Bride say *
“Come!”

Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly. *
Deliver us! Blessed is he who comes in the name of Adonai the King of Israel!

Praise / prayer / silence / sing a new song

Ending Prayer

God of glory, we praise you that indigenous congregations are growing and thriving in the Holy Land. Make your servants, both Israeli and Palestinian as well as Gentiles serving God in Israel, to be a true testimony of the love of God and the power of the gospel. May they be enabled to love their enemies, and have a prophetic voice amongst their peoples, and be truly united together as the One New Man in Messiah Jesus, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

- Dr. Richard Harvey

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
