When Heads of State meet

As I compose this, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu is on a plane to Washington to meet with President Trump. He is accompanied by the American Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. They all will meet together to discuss Gaza:  the prospect of getting the Israeli hostages released and determining the terms to end the war….. again.

When heads of state meet, it is newsworthy. When heads of state meet including either the Israeli PM or the American PM, others raise their heads and take notice! When the Israeli PM meets with the American PM, the proverbial pin will ping loudly when it lands of the floor.

Bibi and Mike are on the Wing of Zion, the Israeli equivalent of Air Force One. 

Meanwhile the atmosphere in the White House 

A week ago, President Trump referenced a reformed former prisoner who has come to the Christian faith. The president then, as he has done before, gave thanks to GOD. Anyone following what goes on in the Cabinet will know that there is a lot of prayer going on in that room, to the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They are serious about asking for GOD’s guidance and help, and they are unashamed. The world may find it odd, but these people are devout and committed Christians who have a habit of praying for the nation, and they will continue to do so.

Mike Huckabee is a committed Christian as are many of the Cabinet.

Bibi will be surrounded in the Oval Office by those who claim Jesus is his awaited Messiah, although it is quite certain that no one will discuss this with him. He’ll be aware of it anyway

The point is to pray…

With peace in Israel a hope, and a gaggle of Christians meeting with a committed Jew, what can happen?

I’d say anything is possible!

How can we help? We can pray!

We can pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122). We can pray for good communication. We can pray for GOD’s Holy Spirit to fill the room. We can pray for the peace of H’ashem to touch their hearts. We can pray for excellent strategy. And we can pray that Hamas will stop!

We can — and must — pray

The politicians will meet on the day this message is first being posted (7th July). It may even be happening as you read (particularly possible if you’re reading this in the US/Canada/Mexico)

Pray that President Trump sees all the pitfalls: the land mines, that are hidden against Israel, against America, against GOD’s intentions and plans in the fuller picture. 

Pray that GOD’s will will be done, that American puts Him first, that His protection covers Israel, that nothing bound or released will be outside GOD’s will. 

Pray as your heart (not your mind) feels led by Holy Spirit.

Pray in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
