AN OPEN PRAYER FOR THE WORLD

THIS PRAYER BY ELLISA, WAS FIRST SENT OUT IN 2006. IT ACCOMPANIED YAHUSHUA'S MESSSAGE TO THE WORLD, FIRST SENT OUT IN 2006

PART 3.

Kind and compassionate Yahweh, in Yahushua’s holy Name, I place before you the Monarchs of this world and all Presidents, Prime Ministers and other leaders and their governments throughout this world. Please be with them and their families, their parliaments, cabinets, senates and committees. Please give them heavenly wisdom to make wise decisions at every level, including the administering of their countries or islands.

Many of these Leaders, Holy Elohim, are faced with great problems and carry very heavy burdens and responsibilities in an ever changing and troubled world. Please be with each one and grant them the help and assurance which they need, I pray. May they realise their need of Yahushua, our blessed Saviour, because He is the only answer to this world’s problems, and the only hope of the human race in this troubled and sinful world.

Loving Adonai, please bless and prosper these Leaders and their people and grant them the understanding and sound judgment, which they need to govern and lead Your people who are under their care. Please help each one to govern or rule with love and compassion, and in lands where You are rejected and Your people are hounded, persecuted and killed for the Name of Yahushua, Your beloved Son, may they show Your people compassion and love, gracious Elohim. Kind Yahweh, May Your mercy, grace and protection be with each one of these leaders and grant them Your peace and prosperity, I pray; for according to Your Word, they are all Your ministers. Thus it is written in Your Word:

1“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of [Yahweh] God: the powers that be are ordained of [Yahweh] God”. 2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of [Yahweh] God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4For he is the minister of [Elohim] God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of [Elohim] God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6For for this cause pay ye tribute also: “for they are [Yahweh’s] God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing”. 7Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Romans 13: 1 - 7.

Loving Heavenly Father, Yahweh, may each one of these leaders and their people over whom they rule, come to know and accept King Yahushua, Your beloved Son, as their Saviour and Adonai (Lord), and be ready to meet Him and go to Heaven, His throne, and spend the rest of eternity with Him, either when the die, or at His Return in the near future. That will be followed by the new earth, which Yahushua will make. Thus, they too will be in the New Jerusalem, when they along with all Your saints will be partakers of Your divine glory, as Your Word records:

22And I saw no temple therein: “for the [Adonai, Yahweh] Lord God Almighty and the Lamb [Yahushua] are the temple of it. 23And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of [Yahweh] God did lighten it, and the Lamb [Yahushua] is the light thereof.” 24And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s [Yahushua’s] book of life. Revelation 21:22 -27.

Caring Father Yahweh, in the righteous Name of Yahushua, I thank You for Your protection day by day over these Your leaders, and over all of us and over those whom You use to help to protect our countries and maintain law and order. In particular, I place before You all the security forces who constantly work to protect us from the attacks of terrorists and from all others who would harm us and destroy our countries. Thank You loving Father that through their constant vigilance, we have the peace of mind to go about our daily affairs or to sleep peacefully without worry or fear. Please be with the men and women who do this work and grant them Your protection and special angels to be with them day by day, as they go about their duties, I pray.

Gracious Heavenly Father, in Yahushua’s Name, I now place before You the descendants of Abraham, the Jews and their half-brothers the descendants of the seven sons of Abraham, by his concubines, Hagar and Keturah; some of whom constitute, the Arabs. Please draw these descendants of Abraham to Yahushua, our blessed Saviour. May each of them come to know of His love for them and His saving grace, so that they will accept Him as their Saviour and be ready to meet Him in peace at His Soon Return.

Oh gracious Yahweh, may these descendants of Your friend, Abraham, put away their prejudice and un-belief regarding Yahushua being their Saviour and Messiah, and accept Him as their only Saviour from sin before it is too late. Blessed Father, May the hate and hostilities which Satan has instigated between these half-brothers be replaced by Your true love, grace and mercy. Thus there will be love, respect and peace among them in these final days of earth’s history.

Heavenly Father Yahweh, in particular I place before You the land of Israel and the Jews who live there, who are the children of the covenant, being the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. It was to their ancestors You gave Your Word and made them the custodians, as Your Word declares in Psalm 78: 5-7:

“For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 7That they might set their hope in [Yahweh] God, and not forget the works of [Yahweh] God, but keep his commandments”.

Sadly, gracious Yahweh, they did not obey Your Commands, hence Your sad lament in Psalm 8:11-16:

11But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 12“So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels”. 13“Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 15The haters of [YAHWEH] the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. 16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee”.

Thus loving Father, Yahweh, over the past three thousand years the Jews have had to fight many wars for their survival, and they have suffered greatly because of their disobedience to You their Elohim. In spite of what they have suffered Gracious Adonai, You have kept them and have not allowed them to be removed from the earth like many other nations who are no more. According to Your Word, great Adonai, the children of Israel were driven from Canaan, their homeland, in 70 A.D. and were scattered throughout the earth, due to their disobedience (Deuteronomy 28:64).

According to Your Word, faithful Yahweh, You brought the Jews safely back to the land of their ancestors at Your appointed time (Ezekiel 36:24). However, since Israel once again became a State in 1948, the Jews there have had to fight many wars for their survival and to remain in the land which You gave to their ancestors (Genesis 12:2, 3). Her enemies are still hostile against her and they are determined to exterminate her. Hence the 2006 July War of Hezbollah, the elite army of Iran, who is still determined to go to war with her. Likewise, there is the on-going war of Hamas; and likewise the declaration by Iran’s President that Israel should be wiped off the map! Hence his Hezbollah Army in Lebanon, and likewise, his long range missiles which are being used against her, and his chemical weapons, which he also intends to use against her.

O Yahweh, great Adonai of Sabaoth, please look upon the Jews in Israel and protect them, as their enemies who have vowed to exterminate them, are doing everything in their power to do so. Yea, gracious Father, it is time for Yahushua to come and fulfil His word in Luke 24:27 and bring permanent deliverance to Your people, the Jews, and to the entire human race:

And then shall they see the Son of man [King Yahushua Ha Mashiach] coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Luke 24:27.

Also in Matthew 24: 30, 31:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man [King Yahushua] in heaven: “and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man [King Yahushua ha Mashiach] coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other”.

I also pray loving Adonai that the majority of Jews worldwide who are still rejecting Yahushua, as their Ha Mashiach, will know and accept that there is NO OTHER MESSIAH TO COME!! Therefore, may they all realise that He, YAHUSHUA, alone is indeed their ONLY HA MASHIACH, and see their need to turn to Him in righteousness, and thus give their lives to Him, before it is eternally too late.

Kind Yahweh, I place the Palestinians in Gaza, from where Hamas fights with Israel. Please take care of the populace and help, protect and provide for them, I pray. Likewise, I pray for all the Palestinians living in Israel and pray the same blessings for them also. Loving Father, it is in Your power to bring an end to this bitter and on-going war between these half-brothers. Therefore, I pray that in Your mercy, You will bring about a permanent cease-fire, Oh blessed Elohim.

Righteous Yahweh, in the loving and holy Name of Yahushua, please look also upon the War in Iraq with the daily bloodshed and carnage, as that country plunges deep into Civil War. In mercy, gracious Elohim, please come to the aid of the peoples of that country and bring peace to that troubled land, I pray.

Kind Father, I place before you the situation in Lebanon and the political situation there, following the July War of Hezbollah with Israel. Please intervene kind Father and bring peace to that troubled land I pray. Yea, My Father, please look also upon the war in Afghanistan as it is intensifying and daily takes its toll of lives also. Therefore, please take control I pray and bring a speedy end to these wars, as well as to all wars in the world, including the genocide in Darfur in the Sudan. Loving Yahweh, Your beloved Son, Yahushua, is the ONLY HOPE for this world. Therefore, loving Yahushua, please make Yourself known to the peoples of this world, so that they will accept You as their Saviour. Then please come and take Your world, I beseech You, and deliver Your people throughout the world from the adversary of souls, Satan, I earnestly pray.

In mercy, gracious Father, please take care of all the sons and daughters, fathers, husbands, mothers and wives who are fighting in these wars. Please be with them and grant them Your protection. Most importantly, may they all come to know and accept Yahushua as Saviour and make their peace with Him, for they are all so close to death. Thus those who succumb without knowing and accepting Yahushua, will suffer a worse fate than being in the wars. That is so, because the torments of hell is then their portion for ever, followed by further torments in the Lake of fire in the final Judgment ahead of this world (Luke 16: 19-24; Revelation 20: 11-15).

O loving Yahweh, please open the eyes of the world to see that the Wars in the Middle East which are all intensifying, and the continued hostilities are not the usual wars. May they realise therefore that they are part of the Battle of “the kings of the east” and so make their peace with You and their calling and election sure; because they will culminate in the great battle of Yahweh Almighty (Revelation 16:14). Yea blessed Adonai, that will be the battle of King Yahushua, as He Returns to the world with great power and glory for His saints, and to rain judgments upon the nations who have rejected Him.

Yea, gracious and Holy Father, in the holy and righteous Name of Yahushua, I bind the demon spirit of war and the chief spirit of war, Satan, that mass Murderer. Thus in the Name of Yahushua, I break his power and his hold over Your people, and speak death and destruction to his operations in the lives of Your people; and in the world where he has caused so much suffering, sorrow and grief.

Blessed Elohim, I know that You live outside of time and that one thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, as Your Word says:

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Psalm 90: 4.

O kind Yahweh, You are the mighty Elohim, therefore, please bring a speedy end to this Master Demon, and all his demons in the lives of Your children here upon Planet Earth, I pray. Thus I pray that Yahushua, my Saviour, will cut the work short in righteousness; speed up the time of His Return and come and deliver Your people from this evil and despotic demon, Satan, in the Name of Yahushua, I pray.

Gracious Yahweh, please open the understanding of all the Spiritual Leaders who profess to love and follow Yahushua. May they realise that there is no denomination, church or sect with You. Neither are there any animosity, prejudice, segregation, division and exclusivism with You, because You are One body and One Adonai (Lord). Thus, may those who belong to the various religions, denominations, ministries and groups who are under such delusion, to which they are held captives; realise that in Heaven, Your throne and dwelling place, and also in the new earth, there will be no separate sections or designated areas, according to religion, colour or ethnic origin. Therefore, may they be fully aware that both Heaven, Your throne and dwelling place, and the new earth, which You will create, will be a loving and peaceful place for everyone who will be saved to enjoy, and where there will be no religious spirits of demons, or segregation. In addition, may they be aware that:

[Yahushua] will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and [Yahushua] God himself shall be with them, and be their [Elohim] God. Revelation 21: 3.

Righteous Heavenly Father, many of those who fear and worship You, our Elohim, believe Satan’s LIE, that they are the only ones who will be saved in Your Kingdom of Glory and in the new earth, which Yahushua will make. Thus they keep themselves separate, being greatly puffed up with pride!! Please remove this deception from them and help them to know that our blessed Saviour, Yahushua, died for the entire world and not for just the few, who are under the illusion that that privilege is theirs alone!! Likewise, kind Father, there are those who claim they alone will be numbered among the 144,000 spoken about in Revelation 7: 4-8. May they realise that they too are greatly deceived by the Adversary, because the numbers of those who will be saved by Yahushua when He returns for His saints, will be as the sands of the sea shore. Thus it is recorded in the Scriptures:

• And there were “sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand” of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Revelation 7:4.

• After this “I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb”, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands. Revelation 7:9.

Loving Yahweh, I pray that You will lay the heavy burden upon all those who are over Your work as spiritual leaders, so that they may see their need to come closer to You, their Elohim: Yahweh, our Father, Yahushua, our Saviour, and the Ruach Ha Kodesh, and have a personal relationship with You, the divine Godhead. Likewise, may they also teach their congregations and to all whom they minister, the importance of having their own personal relationship with You, their Elohim, and be drawn closer to You, because the hour is late and there is no time to delay!

Kind and compassionate Heavenly Father, may all those who are tied to their various religions, and ideologies come to the full realisation that when Yahushua came to be our Saviour, He did not bring Religion or a state of confusion. Rather, He brought a loving relationship between Him and His followers. May they also realise that Yahushua is ONE body and not different bodies. Likewise, may they realise that Yahushua has only ONE Church, and not numerous churches which they have created. Thus it is recorded in Your Holy Word, the Scriptures:

• And he [Yahushua Ha Mashiach] is the head of the body, the church. Colossians 1:18.

• “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One [Adonai] Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6One [Elohim] God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all”. Ephesians 4: 4, 5.

Therefore, may they heed the admonition:

Till “we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of [Yahweh] God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of [Ha Mashiach] Christ: 14That [they] we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive”; 15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even [Ha Mashiach] Christ: 16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4: 13-16.

May they, O Almighty Yahweh, see the importance of unity between those who follow Yahushua, their loving Adonai (Lord). Thus may they see the necessity to come out of their self-induced isolation, separation and segregation and unite with those who truly follow Yahushua, in accordance with His last prayer recorded in John 17. May they be fully aware that in that LAST Prayer, Yahushua specifically prayed that there would be UNITY among His followers. His desire was that they would be united as You, Yahweh, our Father and He, Yahushua, are united. Thus He prayed:

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me [Yahushua], and I in thee, that they also may be one in us”: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; “that they may be one, even as we are one”: 23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me [Yahushua], and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. John 17: 20 - 23.

Great Father, Yahweh, Yahushua knew the divisions and separations which Satan would bring between His followers and the confusion which would result; therefore, it rested heavily upon His heart. Thus before He entered into His terrible suffering and death, He prayed that Prayer on Unity because that was what He wanted among His believers at all times until His return to this world for them.

Almighty Heavenly Father, please awake Your people everyone, to realise that they are in a very fierce battle, which is being waged by Satan and his demonic host, as well as his human agents. May they turn to You, O Yahweh Sabaoth, for divine help. Thus may they keep before them the following Scripture Passage:

Finally, my brethren, “be strong in [Yahushua] the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of [Yahweh] God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil”. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but “against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”. 13 “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of [Yahweh] God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand”.

14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of [Yahweh] God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. Ephesians 6: 10 -18.

Loving Father, Yahweh, may Yahushua’s last prayer in John 17, be fully answered in these final days of earth’s history and in particular, the Text:

That they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me [Yahushua], and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. John 17: 22, 23.

Thus the confusion and divisions among many of those who profess to be Christians will be ended. By Your grace, gracious Yahweh, may the spiritual leaders, as well their congregations, work together to fulfil Yahushua’s Commission:

• “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the [Yahweh the Father], and of [Yahushua Ha Mashiach] the Son, and of the [Ruach Ha Kodesh] Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world”. Amen. Matthew 28: 19, 20.

• “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; “In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Mark 16: 15 -18.

May they indeed do this work, gracious Heavenly Father, as well as their part as believers to complete the work of Soul Winning in the world. Thus, they will give their fellowmen the opportunity to accept Yahushua, as their Saviour, before His awesome, grand and glorious Return for His saints.

Blessed Heavenly Father, may all those who name the Name of Yahushua, pray and seek for the fruit of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (the Holy Spirit) to be in their lives. That fruit is described thus:

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5: 22, 23.

By Your grace, gracious Yahweh, may “the works of the flesh” never be seen in their lives, because those who practise such sins, will be kept out of Your everlasting kingdom of Glory, as we are told in Galatians 5: 19-21:

9Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; “Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of [Yahweh] God”.

In light of the battle being waged by Satan, the adversary, against those who love and fear You, Holy Father, may they endeavour, by Your grace, to heed the admonition given in Philippians 4: 4-9:

4Rejoice in [Yahweh] the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5Let your moderation be known unto all men. [King Yahushua] The Lord is at hand. 6 “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto [Yahweh] God”. 7And the peace of [Yahweh] God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through [Yahushua Ha Mashiach] Christ Jesus.

8Finally, brethren, “whatsoever things are true ,whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things”. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and [Yahweh] the God of peace shall be with you.

Likewise, blessed Yahweh, may all those who serve and follow other gods, come to Yahushua, their ONLY SAVIOUR and MESSIAH, before Yahushua, their High Priest, ceases His intercession on behalf of mankind. By Your grace, loving Father, may they realise the serious times in which we are now living. May their spiritual leaders see the urgent need to encourage and lead those under their spiritual care, to give their lives completely to Yahushua, their Saviour, before the door of mercy is forever shut!!

Kind and compassionate Heavenly Father, I thank You that Yahushua came from Heaven, His throne and dwelling place; lived here upon earth, Suffered and Died for us, Rose from the Dead and came from the Grave for us; Returned to Heaven for Us and that VERY SOON HE WILL BE COMING AGAIN FOR US. This is indeed the GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION!!

By Your grace, gracious Yahweh, may ALL those who will receive this Message of mercy and grace, do their honest part to make it known. May they see the importance of telling others what Yahushua has done for them, so that the world will know of Yahushua’s (Jesus’) love and of His imminent, awesome, grand and glorious Return to this world. Thus, they too, will have the opportunity to accept Him as their Saviour and be prepared and ready to meet You, our Heavenly Father, the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) and Yahushua in peace at His Return; rather than to be in extreme terror and great fear on that awesome and terrible Day!!
