Watch Focus Oct 10th 2025: Pray for Israel: Our Foundation and Root
 
Following the 2 year anniversary on October 7th of the Hamas terrorist attacks, the Feast of Tabernacles which began this week and a peace deal being in place with a ceasefire starting today with all hostages due to be released in the next few days we lay hold of Romans 11:16-18, “For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.”
 
We rejoice in biblical prophecy that Paul highlights in Romans 11:25-27, “For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
 
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
For this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”
 
We are in the time where the fullness of the Gentiles are coming in. We pray the Gospel would run swiftly across the Nations with power, signs and wonders! We eagerly desire the gifts of the Spirit to break out locally, nationally and internationally.
 
The peace deal between Israel and Hamas is now in effect with a ceasefire in place. The hostages are due to be released in the next few days. The Feast of Tabernacles began this week. May Israel know the protection and Presence of the Lord like His People did on their journey through the wilderness where God manifested as a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. We pray President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu, their advisors and all leaders involved will walk in Isaiah 11:2, “The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.”

We pray for the peace of Jerusalem according to Psalm 122:6, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.”
 
We bless Israel and the Jewish people according to Genesis 12:3, “I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
 
We declare over the Jewish people in America Psalm 91:1, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” May the Lord cover them with His protection from terrorism, evil and harm.

1 Timothy 2:1-2, “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.”

Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

Acts 3:20-21, “and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.”
