Weekly Watch Focus: Pray for Israel and Israeli Elections

FRIDAY, February 21, 2020—Israel will be holding general elections that are critical for Israel’s continued security and prosperity on March 2nd. Pray protection for candidates and voters. Declare the Lord’s banner of victory over the leaders that will keep Jerusalem as Israel’s undivided capital, maintain a prospering economy, and defend Israel from existential threats from her many enemies. Pray for peaceful elections and bind back all manipulation that would try to defraud voters and sway the elections. Benjamin Netanyahu has been a great friend and ally for America. We pray special covering for his physical safety and put a shield of protection from false accusations around him and his family. Lord, give Israel leaders such that it would be to Your glory to give Israel the victory through them.

We continue to ask God for protection from the spread of the coronavirus, this growing international threat with deaths now topping 2,000 people. Stand in the gap for the protection of your nation and plead the blood of Jesus. Bind the spread of this disease and pray this plague will be stopped.
