The Jewish Connection

I heard a man speak a couple of nights ago. His name is Dan Juster. He is a Jew who received Christ and leads a ministry in Israel. His services and community have a Jewish culture, but they have received Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah and live within the new covenant and the grace of the Lord. Since 1992, he's planted 7 Messianic congregations in Israel and has helped to plant others in Russia, Brazil, and other nations. And guess what? His wife and some of her family are from the Syracuse area. Small world.

Sunday morning we did a prayer walk on the ramparts (walls) of the old city. This is the same path used by the soldiers who defended Jerusalem throughout it's history. We prayed in the Spirit and the Lord gave us many Words for the city.

Sunday night was the International Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem. It was a ceremony celebrating and blessing the prayers from the Body of Christ that went up to God from around the world for Israel that day. The day began with prayers from the church in Japan, Korea, and China, and ended with prayer from the Americas. Many Jewish leaders were present and addressed the crowd, including Rabbi Nekrutman and Rabbi Riskin were there. Please pray God blesses them with peace and revelation and His will will be done through them.
