Day 15
ISRAEL’S ENEMIES:
Send Your Spirit to convict and convert the hearts of Israel’s enemies. Expose the demonic deception and distortion of truth regarding Israel which drives them. Dismantle anti-Israel networks in the spheres of international law, media and religion, as well as militarily.
May Israel’s enemies turn to You and find salvation in Jesus. As to those who persistently resist You, “May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame” (Ps. 129:5-6). “Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech, for I see [their] violence and strife” (Psalms. 55:9).
“Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is … my shield in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me. … Deliver me and rescue me from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose [handshakes] are deceitful” (Psalms. 144:1-2, 11).
When Your enemies rage against You, rebuke them and say, “I have installed my King on Zion, My holy hill. … Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth [and] serve the Lord with fear” (Psalms. 2: 6, 10 -11).
Defender of Israel, “see how Your enemies are astir, how Your foes rear their heads. With cunning they conspire against Your people; they plot against those You cherish. ‘Come,’ they say, ‘let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more.’ …
‘Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.’ Make them like tumbleweed, O my God…pursue them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your storm. … May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace. Let them know that You, whose name is the Lord – that You alone are the Most High over all the earth” (Psalms. 83:1-4, 12-18).
15 以色列的敌人们:
求圣灵为罪为义为审判光照以色列的敌人们,使他们的心回转归向你, 并在耶稣裡找到拯救。对于那些拒绝你的,“愿恨恶锡安的都蒙羞退后。”(诗篇129:5 – 6)。
“主啊,求你吞灭他们,变乱他们的舌头,因为我在城中见了强暴争竞的事。”(诗篇 55:9)。“耶和华我的磐石是应当称颂的;祂教导我的手争战,教导我的指头打仗。祂是我慈爱的主,我的山寨,我的高台,我的救主,我的盾牌,是我所投靠的,祂使我的百姓服在我以下。求你救拔我,救我脱离外邦人的手。他们的口说谎言,他们的右手起假誓。”(诗篇144:1-2,11)。
当你的敌人们起来抵挡你时,斥责他们并说“我已经立我的君在锡安我的圣山上了。现在,你们君王应当醒悟;你们世上的审判官该受管教! 当存畏惧侍奉耶和华,又当存战兢而快乐。”(诗篇2:6,10-11)
以色列的盾牌,“神啊,求你不要静默! 神啊,求你不要闭口,也不要不做声。因为你的仇敌喧嚷,恨你的抬起头来。他们同谋奸诈,要害你的百姓;彼此商议,要害你所隐藏的人。
他们说;‘来吧,我们将他们剪灭,使他们不再成国;使以色列的名不再被人记念。’ 他们说:‘我们要得神的住处,作为自己的产业。’
我们的神啊,求你叫他们像旋风的尘土,像风前的碎秸。火怎样焚烧树林,火焰怎样烧着山岭,求你也照样用狂风追赶他们,用暴雨恐吓他们。愿你使他们满面羞耻,好叫他们寻求你耶和华的名。
愿他们永远羞愧惊惶,愿他们惭愧灭亡。使他们知道:惟独你名为耶和华的,是全地以上的至高者。”(诗篇83:1-4,12-18)
