Join us in today’s devotion and prayer-
Read the Psalm in your favorite version or in the following KJV and then join us in praying below:
80 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. (KJV)
Our Father,
Restore us, O Lord God of hosts! Let your face shine upon us; all of your servants who have taken the name of your Son Jesus. Let your protection also extend over Israel; we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and your people Israel.
Israel is under attack and surrounded by those who claim to follow a prophet you did not send with another word that is not yours. Those same radicals are destroying your church in the Middle East; cutting down and beheading your servants. They invoke your name as they rape and enslave women and children; they laugh and rejoice as they pull down churches that have been there for over a thousand years and destroy every Synagogue in their path.
Rise up and restore your people Lord, let your face shine upon them and protect them from the evil one and his minions. Many are saying that soon nothing will be left of your church in its birthplace as hundreds of thousands of people that bear the name of your Son have been driven from the land of their fathers in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Armenia. Meanwhile, those same perpetrators with a false religion are threatening to kill all Israelis and drive them from their land and Jews everywhere.
Rise up o God with protection and fulfill the prophecies over your peop0le, let all come to the true Messiah Jesus Christ and receive your peace and salvation that is available for all believers in your Son Jesus.
In Africa, whole villages of Christians are being attacked, killed, and enslaved. In this land the media has turned our attention to the issue of reparations for slavery which was abolished here over a 150 years ago. Meanwhile slavery is still allowed, practiced, and tolerated among Muslims, and our President has called for the government to come against ‘islamophobia’ while antisemitism is rising as never before in this nation.
Rise up O Lord and let the truth be known in spite of our media.
Rise up and restore your people and bring revival instead among the very perpetrators of this evil. Let those who persecuting Jewish people and those who are pulling down your churches around the world be converted and brought to the truth of your Son Jesus. Let dreams and visions, signs, and wonders turn back the evil that is bringing destruction in Israel and to your church and people while there is yet day.
Restore your people, O Lord God of hosts! Let your face shine upon upon them that they might be saved; We pray for those who follow the false religion of Islam and for the Israelis and Jewish people everywhere to be graphed back in to the real family of Abraham that worships Jesus the real Messiah and the fulfillment of your Word and scriptures.
Rise up and bring your Great Harvest and miracles among that people and around the world. Let this be the day when the ‘Good News’ of your Kingdom and the coming again of your Son Jesus is preached in every nation and tongue. Let a billion be converted to the real Prince of Peace singing songs of everlasting joy while there is yet day.
In Jesus name, Amen.
