Significant moments demand significant response.

It’s time for those who love Jerusalem to recognize the hour in which we live and lean into God’s promise. It’s time for united prayer and fasting so God’s will in heaven can be manifested on the earth.

The present alignment of prophetic timing is no coincidence.

In this moment of contending for Jerusalem, it’s time to see the next wave of God’s Spirit sweep across Israel and the Middle East, as we believe for blessing, fullness, and peace for both Isaac and Ishmael.

However, just because the time is right does not guarantee the manifestation of God’s promises.

​In Daniel 9:1-3, Daniel realizes the strategic hour in which he lives. He realizes he is on the eve of Jeremiah’s seventy-year prophecy. It’s time for the Jews to go home. His response, though, is not casual observance to see if Jeremiah’s words will come true. Instead, he uses the prophecy as a weapon of intercession. He responds by setting himself to prayer and fasting. He leans in.

​As he does, we read about the manifestation of Jeremiah’s words in the book of Ezra. God awakens the spirit of Cyrus, and he releases the Jews to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. The awakening of Cyrus is an answer to Daniel’s prayers. He prayed the will of God into manifestation.

For Daniel, extended prayer and fasting was the appropriate response to the hour in which he lived. For us, the answer is no different. It’s time for extended prayer and fasting.

​Today, Christian leaders, young and old, from around the world (signatures below) are calling for a global 21-day Awake Jerusalem Fast beginning September 8, ending on September 29, just one week before the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, which is the First Sunday of every October.

​This year’s Day of Prayer also includes Awake Jerusalem, where many of these leaders and hundreds of young Christians are gathering together in Jerusalem for a 72-hour prayer and worship event summoning Christians across the nations to Jerusalem.

​This is an Isaiah 2 moment where nations are flowing to Zion.

Remember, significant moments demand significant response. Now is the time to shake ourselves from casual observance to determined intercession.
