Day 7: Revelation of Jesus for Israeli New Agers
Prayer Points
- That the hundreds of thousands of Israelis involved in New Age practices and festivals, meditation, and Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) will grasp that they’re actually engaging in idolatry and opening themselves to evil spirits
- That God will shatter the illusion that they themselves are God or that everything is God, and that they'll have a healthy fear of the true God
- That the Lord will send believers full of His love, truth, and power to effectively share the Word of God with them in a way they’ll understand
- That they won’t see Jesus as just “another philosophy,” but will recognize their own sin and need for Him, and see that He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life
- That they will be hungry for truth, desire to read God’s Word, and have personal encounters with Jesus, seeing His love and power
Key Scriptures

Ezekiel 28:2b Thus says the Lord God: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you say, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods, in the midst of the seas,’ yet you are a man, and not a god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god’”
1 Corinthians 1:29-31 So that no man may boast before God. But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

Isaiah 29:22-24 Therefore thus says the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now grow pale; but when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they will hallow My name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and fear the God of Israel. These also who erred in spirit will come to understanding, and those who complained will learn doctrine.”

I am like an evergreen cypress; from Me comes your fruit.”
Jeremiah 2:11, 13 “Has a nation changed its gods, which are not gods? But My people have changed their Glory for what does not profit…. For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns–broken cisterns that can hold no water.”
Joel 2:27-29 “Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God and there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame.

And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.”
