Global Prayer Targets
Bless the Lord – Get Free!
Here is an excerpt from Jane Hansen Hoyt, Lift Up Your Hands
I love what Psalm 134 says, speaking of Zion. “Behold, bless the Lord all you servants of the Lord who stand by night in the house of the Lord!” Maybe you’re one who stands by night as an intercessor. There are Aglow intercessors who stand by night. We can say “in the house of the Lord” because that’s the position of their heart and the focus of their prayers. “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless the Lord.” Are you carrying a sack of worry? Toss it aside! Lift up your hands and bless the Lord in the sanctuary. Get free! “The Lord who made Heaven and earth”, that’s who we’re blessing. “The Lord who made heaven and earth is blessing you from Zion.” That’s Psalm 134 and it’s a promise to you. You’re being blessed from Zion today.
God Is Watching – He Will Not Hold His Peace
Here is an excerpt from Jane Hansen Hoyt Today, For the Sake of Zion
We’re all aware of things in the earth that are stirred that touch our hearts and concern us - in particular, things that are happening in the Middle East. I love the scripture in Isaiah 62:1, “For Zion’s sake, I will not hold My peace.” Read it out loud and let it sink in. For Zions’s sake, I will not hold My peace. What happened on October 7 of this year was not just a terror attack. It’s not just war. It’s a spiritual battle against God’s people, Israel, the one He has chosen to be a blessing to the world and to glorify His Name. Ultimately, it is a battle against God and His Word. We know that, but even as we say it we realize God is in the midst of this watching over it, watching the nuances, and carefully considering what He might do in this case.
