Lord, Reveal Your Heart for Jerusalem

June 15, 2007

Lord do you want us to pray for Jerusalem? Lord, reveal to us your heart for Jerusalem, your city, your holy city.

Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, city of exiles. We are strangers in a strange land. My city Jerusalem is a shadow of the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of God, the city not made with hands.

The enemy tries to subdue you, to capture you, to annihilate you, the shadow of that city which is to come; but you are mine. Although a shadow, you are my ordained shadow. The enemy will not subdue you, capture you, annihilate you because I am your protection; and although kingdoms and empires fall, my word endures forever. I have spoken. You are my bride, Beulah land, and the enemy, those that hate you because you are my beloved, will not prevail against you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. I will glorify myself in you. I will make you a praise for I have chosen you. Blessed are they who bless you. Those that curse you and my people are cursed.

Even as I have said, I will turn your stony hearts into hearts that have my word written in them. I will receive you again as my people. I again will be your God. I have made a way for you when there was no way. I sent my Son, your king, to reign and rule over you forever. You will receive your king, bless your king and be blessed. I have chosen you forever. Amen.
