Throughout the past week, anti-Israel students have been setting up encampments on university campuses across the country to “protest” Israel’s retaliation against Hamas in Gaza. While some argue incorrectly that these demonstrations are acceptable and good, many others highlight just how antisemitic and illegal these so-called protests really are.
Discuss issues you care about with other intercessors.
How Did These ‘Protests’ Begin?
This past week was not the beginning of anti-Israel sentiment on the Columbia University campus. As many observers point out, antisemitic and anti-Israel sentiments have been festering beneath the surface on that campus and on others for years. More recently, however, students on the Columbia campus began planning their massive encampment in the weeks and months following Hamas’ unprovoked attack on Israelis on October 7, 2023. Then, on April 17, the tents went up and the wave of “protests” began.
Who Is Behind These ‘Protests?’
We reported Thursday that big names and big money are behind these encampments. The students are being funded by Education for Just Peace in the Middle East, which gets its funding in turn from the Soros-founded Open Society Foundations and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, among others.
On campus, however, there are several students who have been leading these “protests.” One such leader is Khymani James, who has threatened to kill Zionists, says that “Zionists don’t deserve to live,” and claims that a hypothetical American-sponsored murder of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “can absolutely be justified.” Perhaps most egregiously, James posted “free Palestine” on X — even while Hamas was still attacking Israel.
How Are the ‘Protests’ Going?
On April 18, Columbia President Minouche Shafik requested help from the New York Police Department. In response, the NYPD dismantled the encampment tents and arrested over 100 activists, including Isra Hirsi, daughter of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar. This action, however, did not discourage the activists, who instead chose to keep up their encampment. This led to Shafik’s ordering all classes to be held virtually for the rest of the semester, on Monday, April 22. Then, on Friday, April 27, Columbia dropped its demand for the activists and students to disperse, and now the encampments remain up. Some politicians have visited the campus to express support for the encampments, such as Rep. Omar and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The action taken by the NYPD last Thursday caused outrage across the country, and similar encampments and deomonstrations began springing up on 60 campuses, across 31 states. Some of these encampments have seen police responses and arrests, but many have remained untouched. Jewish students at Columbia have spoken out, recounting stories of harassment and threats.
What Is Being Done About These ‘Protests?’
Beyond New York City, many other cities have sent in the police to deal with these activists. Police have responded to encampments and arrested individuals at 16 schools, including some of the most prestigious universities in America, such as Princeton and Yale. Republican governors such as Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida have been especially aggressive in quelling these protests and silencing antisemitism. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson visited Columbia to publicly express his support for Jewish students across America and to call for Shafik’s resignation.
Counterprotests have also begun on and around the Columbia campus. Christian leaders Eric Metaxas and Sean Feucht visited the campus last week, aiming to counter the antisemitic spirit that has been running wild across the nation.
IFA has also been to Columbia to counter these encampments. IFA contributing writers Rich and Joyce Swingle visited the campus last week to partake in Feucht’s counterprotest, to pray the blood of Jesus over the whole situation, and to interview other Christian leaders on-site.
The Swingles will share more in an article and in a longer video on www.HeadlinePrayer.org, and also on Headline Prayer Live, Tuesday, April 30.
How You Can Pray About These ‘Protests’
As these encampments and protests continue, we encourage you to intercede.
- Pray against violence. Pray that all students would be kept safe amid the chaos and that those perpetuating the violence and harassment would be stopped.
- Pray for wisdom. Pray for guidance and wisdom for the leaders of these universities and of the cities and states. Pray that they would be able to shut down these encampments once and for all.
- Pray for Jewish students. Pray for the students who are being harassed, threatened, and made to feel unsafe on their own campuses simply because they are Jewish. Ask God to protect them from all harm.
- Pray for a widespread love of Israel. Pray that students, activists, and leaders alike would be able to see the truth about the Israel-Hamas conflict. Pray that they would all come to know and love Israel and the Jewish people, just as God does.
- Pray for revival. As Christian leaders gather to pray and worship, pray that revival would break out among the crowds of students.

Almighty loving heavenly Father, Lord Jesus and omniscient Holy Spirit:
1. We are so anxious for you to hasten your will and your way in ending this violence and any lingering semblance thereof. Please keep us ALL focused on YOU, and not the evil and darkness bombarding and surrounding (us, and) especially these students. Please keep all students safe amid this chaos and bring them through it, piercing the evil and darkness with YOUR LIGHT in them, glorifying YOU, and stifle those perpetuating the violence and harassment, whether through merciful awakening by Holy Spirit, confusion as in biblical times, paralyzing them or WHATEVER your all-knowing will prescribes.
2. Please bestow your guidance and wisdom on all of our leaders on every level (universities’ leaders, city, county, state and national officials, elected and appointed). Empower them to shut down these encampments once and for all. Inspire them to bless YOU with all glory for this empowerment and to restore YOU to their campuses, and even curriculums, eradicating the radical liberal left agenda of genocide, lgbtq and all other hateful extremism.
3. Please infuse the Jewish students with your unfathomable peace as you protectively bring them through this chaos of constant antagonistic threats, harassment, insecurity and intimidation. Give them the strength and fearlessness they’ll need. Most of all, dear God, please keep their focus ever-faithfully on YOU and not the pervasive evil.
4. Expand our love of Israel world-wide on all levels. Enlighten and convict mankind (and especially students, activists, and leaders alike) to: a. the truth about the Israel-Hamas conflict, and then b. to thank, praise, worship and glorify You for this blessing of enlightenment and conviction (which we could never attain on our own).
5. As Christian leaders gather to pray and worship, we desperately pray that revival would break out first, among the crowds of students and then the rest of mankind. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Amen.
My latest challenge: how does 1 change minds when we try to tell them: wear seatbelt; control anger; we all need to get saved; etc. First & foremost in my heart: pray God Deal with them. I believe only He Can Change hearts, though we need to witness. Probably close second, like Annette Capps recently reminded me: I can NOT “confront” that & that & that person(s); but I can Thru Jesus Christ come against the spirits that are controlling or using or affecting certain people. Any other suggestions I’d appreciate. I print these articles to help pray. God Bless you all!
I speak confusion to the chants of today as God confused the languages of the days of nimrod that he will do it again. That he will bring down the foundations of Sorros and Rockefeller . That those organizations will crumble at the root. . I pray that Biden’s double mindness will fall and no judgment to our nation will come to us on his watch. There are more of us than there is of them and we need to stand like never before in unison loud and clear to the heavens of God like the Israelites did in the Old Testament. We have the power to change this around. Repent and call on Jesus to save our nation.
Thanks, Lolly! Would it be appropriate to herein refer to 2 Chronicles 7:14? https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Chronicles+7%3A14&version=NIV
2 Chronicles 7:14
New International Version
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Listen to 2 Chronicles 7:14 Thanks in advance regarding this reply.
Nothing, other than it is very sad that the police cannot deal with the protestors. It is disgusting what this country has become. Lord, we bind all of the evil spirits behind these protests in Your name. We loose a spirit of decency and wisdom on all of the deceived protestors.
Pray for Revival! Pray that God will save a multitude of students at these encampments. Pray that the church will arise and pray 24/7 at the encampments and from their homes….for God to salvation them!
Thanks, Erin. God, please rescue ALL of them, enlighten them and KEEP them (safe, strong, joyous, praising and worshipping you forever!). Amen.
We must stand up for Israel! Anyone who curses Israel will be cursed… That is basic to the Abraham Covenant. If Biden stays on the path he is on, this Nation will be cursed. The only reason this nation has been blessed is because of our support for Israel. We must reeducate the students from the evil of wokism and not only their contempt for our country but more importantly their contempt for God!
Why dont campuses put a stop to this encsmpment is it sfter all. A school. The students cant get to class the campus is lossing money.
And by the way where do these people use the bathroom? They shoud not be allowed into the school for this and arested for using the yard
Thanks, Dj! If I’m not mistaken, instead of stressin’ over these GREAT logical questions, God wants us to focus on HIM and His magnificent power, love and wisdom. If I’m wrong, please correct me. If I’m right, I welcome whatever relevant scriptures convey this. Meanwhile, … Constant. Fervent. Prayer. Love to all.
Dear Jesus,
As the enemy declares lies as if they are ironclad truths, let us declare how great our God is! Help us to counter the corruption with declarations of faith and with the truth in God’s word! Forgive us for being silent; let us respond to the threats that engulf our nation. 🙏 Amen. Waking up at 3:00 AM, the thought crossed my mind, how lies are spread in our nation unapologetically, with impunity and in lockstep. Satan understands the importance of unity, so lies are spread in our education system, our judicial system, in government, our military all in sync. Over the news, we witness our leaders lying as if they are professional actors; they have mastered the art of lying. As David approached Goliath with declarations of truth (knowing the God he serves), help us Jesus to fight the good fight! Help us to unapologetically declare your truth! Help us to speak peace to chaos! Help us to declare your saving grace in unison with our fellow Christians. Take down the wall of lies that surround us! Expose evil and open eyes to see truth! Amen
Thanks, Shirley! Wow! This could be a week-long prayer/discussion, at LEAST! Probably, your single-most important plea is: “Help us to declare your saving grace in unison with our fellow Christians.” That is, IF that’s meant to say that we need to share Christ with non-Christians. Since that’s usually pretty difficult to do, it circles back to your opening admonition “…let us declare how great our God is!”. Staying focused on that (God’s greatness) is how David defeated Goliath (being such a giant that, how could he MISS?!?!). Secondly, and maybe something, itself, to pray about is this. There seems (to ME) to be a dichotomy about truth. I perceive that we humans:
1. often resist truth, as a defense mechanism. If we accept it, then we have to admit that we were initially wrong, which could translate, at least, to ourselves, as “stupid/gullible/naive’,” etc. (– and to God as pride!) Hmm!
2. secretly(?) CRAVE truth, as a genuine and ultimate freeing mechanism (our heart’s hole, which ONLY God can fill).
Hopefully, this perspective can help (HELP) to ease the task of sharing the gospel of Christ to all of God’s beloved children, who, sadly, are currently in danger of eternal damnation. As always, I welcome and encourage all replies, whether in agreement, disagreement or neutral. Thanks again, Shirley!
Mari Williams, my prayer of agreement is with you! I believe your solution is Holy Spirit-directed!!!!!
There is a time to speak and a time to be silent.
There is right time for every endeavor.
This time, is a time to act and to act quickly!
To remove those Presidents of these colleges.
To send foreign students who took part in these riots back to their own homeland.
For parents to withdraw their children who took part in these uprisings at these schools, so that they can teach them American values which obviously they have not yet learned.
For companies to withdraw their generous support of these so-called colleges.
And most importantly, to appoint appropriate protection for the Jewish students and scholars who now live in fear.
This situation is so similar to the sinister uprising in Germany against Jewish people in the 1930’s it sends chills down my spine.
AMERICA you have been invaded!
Take away the visas of every foreign student involved in this uprising.
And make a note of every USA student involved in this uprising–Future employers would appreciate knowing who they are.
Thanks, Mari Williams, but as I see it, all of this would require someone(s) to WANT this to happen. Those in authority obviously don’t want it. Those who DO want it, without the authority would have to revolt, but how? Thus, Constant. Fervent. Prayer. As always, I welcome and encourage all replies, whether in agreement, disagreement or neutral.
Not only anti semitism! Hod please stop all of this woke and anti America anti God indoctrination! We look to you to remove these evil professors and leadership that lead our kids in the way that is not good!
I’m praying that as Israel is surrounded on ALL sides once again just as at the Red Sea, Their God- is going to receive GLORY & Honor as He fights for them. That “the wheels of their enemies chariots begin to fall off & the enemy is drowned in the Sea” i also pray the Jewish people who have yet to come to receive Jesus as Messiah that the eyes of their understanding will be opened- they hear the GOOD News of Jesus & the veil is lifted from their hearts so they may be draw to the love & heart of their Father. I pray, as I do for America, that the wicked will no longer remain in the land but the righteous inherit it. & I pray for the church- the Bride of Christ to continue to awaken to her righteousness in Christ, that Psalm 133 unity flows in the body of Christ that the promised commanded blessing may be poured out, that peacemakers are raised up – who know their identity & authority as sons of the Living God, who walk in the power of God’s love & carry the same peace Jesus carried so that they speak His Word & calm the storms, cast out devils and heal the sick. I pray- Father – let YOUR KINGDOM come & Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. & may the grace of God be with us all. Some trust in chariots & some in horses- But WE TRUST IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OUR GOD! Amen- the VICTORY is His- He has already won! We fight not to win – we fight from a place of victory & strength in His Mighty Name! His banner over us is love 💗
Dear LORD God,
Protect these young people from hatred, anger and violence. You are our Lamp O God, enlighten their darkness… Open their eyes to Your Love and to Your Word Father God.
Help them to Trust in You so you can be their refuge and their fortress!!
Father, I pray for peace at our university campuses. I pray for safety and protection for the Jewish students, I pray for wisdom, discernment and courage for the campus officials, the police departments and our government officials.
I pray for eyes to be opened so that all will be able to see what the truth is about the was in Gaza.
I pray for the Love of Jesus to abound.
LORD, I pray for the protesters… many do not know what they are doing… I pray the gospel truth will be unveiled and they would be able to see that ” their minds have been blinded by the god of this age”! I pray the light of the gospel message would shine on them and reveal the darkness and the ploys of the evil one quickly.
I pray the blood of our LORD Jesus over all our campuses, and all our children in the Mighty Power, and Authority of our Saviour Christ Jesus.
“LORD, I pray for the protesters… many do not know what they are doing… I pray the gospel truth will be unveiled and they would be able to see … the light of the gospel message… and the darkness and the ploys of the evil one (will be revealed) quickly.

2 Acts https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%202&version=ESV
Cheryl, I had a wonderful thought as I read your prayer…perhaps this IS coming…
perhaps the Lord is drawing the rebellious in these large groups for this purpose…perhaps much like at the 1st Pentecost, when they hear the Truth spoken they will be:
cut to the heart and say, “what shall we do?”
They will hear:
“Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
They will:
be baptized and the number day by day of those being saved will be increased abundantly.
Father in Heaven and earth, God Almighty to all, please hear our prayers and may every good and encouraging hope be realized soon. I the Name of Jesus Christ, I agree with Cheryl’s prayer. Amen
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
The protests oppose the destruction and killing in Gaza. It is just human to oppose the 34000 deaths and starvation that is happening there. Defending the ongoing, unjust war is wrong. Trying to frame it as Antisemitic is justifying the evil. The protests are spontaneous reaction to the images of Gaza carnage. I don’t understand how can anybody see them and not feel outraged. Media are ignoring the fact that significant percentage of protesters are Jews who do not agree with Netanyahu war.
Hi, Maria. Where are you getting your news from? Your compassionate outrage could be understandable if it were not based on false information twisted into pure unadulterated propaganda, deliberately intended to deceive, as the Bible says, “even the elect, if that were possible”. If you truly want to know the truth, there actually ARE many sources available, upon which IfA bases ALL of their materials. So, for starters, simply (and prayerfully) go to the top of this blog’s page and click on the IfA logo on the upper left-hand side of the screen. That will take you to IfA’s home page, where you will find plenty of news articles, prayer guides, drop-down menus, (all referenced/linked). God bless you. Godspeed.
May the Lord open the hearts and eyes of the people all over the world to see Jewish People as the Chosen One, that everyone is asked to Bless and Pray for.
May the Lord stop the evil doers from harming Jewish People everywhere in the world.
In the Name of Jesus, Amen!
Lord God Almighty, your Jewish heritage is going through hate and rejection again, just like it was 2000 years ago. Generational sin all over again! These foolish college students have no idea what they are doing going against your motherland of Israel!! Give these young Americans wisdom 🙏!!
What a visual example of evil vs. God’s magnificence! The festering hate & evil is finally being exposed. Praying this can be a turning point for our country & we can experience a reawaking &turning back to God!!
Such a sad state of things here in USA, but according to financial records posted on Telegram, and may now be posted in other places. Other countries who support Hamas, have been sending great amounts of monies under a protected “no-name having to be reported” by the contributors protection of some kind to these universities. The contributors of these huge sums of money contributions to the universities are and have not been disclosed to anyone but the universities. So for years and years unamerican doctrines have been secretly taught by professors who are not necessarily in agreement with USA such as when students are screaming at the top of their lungs: “death to America”. That is an example of young people who are only following a rhetoric taught to them by memory and not even thinking of what they are saying because we are all in America! Point made…… What is not right here!
I would also look into the political contributions received by our politicians, grants to universities, and gifts (like a free trip to Israel by junior members of Congress) that influence the response to the war in Gaza.
Oh Lord God Almighty, I pray for your truth of the Bible to all these college students 🙏! They are so foolish and have no idea of what they are doing or protesting for! Israel is the motherland of Jesus Christ. Never go against God and his people!!
Wake up Church goers and accept Jesus to control your entire life not only during Sunday mornings or Wednesday evenings! Students now are coming from countries where they don’t learn about our Constitution and our Christian principles are being step on!
I prefer a more physical approach to educate a “violent” prostester.
In most cases the violence happened after the police showed up. Trying to describe the protests as violent is an attempt to obstruct the fact that the protests are against the genocide in Gaza.
Cindy Jacobs released a prophetic warning this week about these protests. https://www.youtube.com/live/bMa5c68uryU?si=qfZZHUVaGFoLcPPf. I have felt convicted to be more vocal in my support of Israel and Jewish people in America and my support of Biblical values like marriage. The church waking up to push back and ask for mercy is my responsibility too.
AMEN!!
Does anyone find it “interesting” that we were seeing and hearing about revivals on university and college campus and now some of the universities and colleges are embracing Hamas whose beliefs are antithetical to the Bible. Push back?
This is all pre-planned by antisemitics and anti-Israel!
Campuses like SMU in Dallas do not have this kind evil hate types of protests. The Highland Park police would immediately stop it. I am sorry Columbia U. and Harvard have such bad leadership
Yes, it seems that the ivy league schools are headed by antisemitic leaderships.
I had a young relative get Saved, Healed and Delivered at Easter services. Her life is totally transformed.
The Father says Acts 2 for Columbia; Harvard; Yale; All of California and Oregon, Seattle
The Father continues to pursue Soros and defeat Hamad and Ocasio Ilmar.
Amen and Hallelujah!
O, Lord, raise up a witness for you on all these college campuses! Thank you for people like Eric Metaxes and Sean Feucht! Give them courage. Bring others to join them! Call out the student leaders of Cru, InterVarsity, Navigators, and others, to be a witness to your love and faithfulness to Israel. Give them creative ways to stand against all the lies, and give some of these protesters a chance to hear the truth!
I pray for peace in Israel and around the world. Father may those who are funding chaos have their accounts examined and brought to justice for inciting violence and anarchy around the world. Deliver us from evil I pray. Amen.
Hosea says that we are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Failure to read THE WORD will lead you down the wrong path!
J6 victims didn’t read PROVERBS, DO NOT follow people, FALSE FLAG MAGA DRESSED FBI INTO TRAP.
Honor of kings to search out SCRIPTURE
This is revival! Thank you Father for the beginning of revival breaking out! At first it may be messy and violent, but this is God Of The Universe stepping on earth with us! Praise you Elohim!!
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. May the Lord send confusion among the ranks of these terrorist Palestinian children so the Jewish students see that you the God of Israel has protected them from violence and that Jesus Christ is their Messiah.
These ongoing protests and outrageous behavior are the result of US, ALL OF US not taking our stand YEARS ago when prayer was being removed from schools, God was being removed from public places, and we were being told that to correct our children and bring them up to know God was wrong. We turned blind eyes, closed deaf ears to what was going on, thinking that we could gain friends by following along blindly. This was also what happened during World War I, when the Jews were being exterminated. AWEUST RISE UP, TAKE OUR RIGHTFUL PLACES IN AUTHORITY IN CHROST AS BELIEVERS, HIS BODY and COMMIT TO TAKING UP OUR SPIRITUAL WEAPONS AND USE THEM!
People may not know it, but all that is going on , on the college campus, have been organized, by a group of people who want to destroy America and Israel. This group of people are really not Americans, probably come from overseas.
Many governments hate America, because they are jealous of our government, prosperity, blessings from God, etc.
We need our leaders to submit to God, and ask for wisdom how to handle all that is going on ,and then, wisdom how to permanently stop all this hatred and destruction of the US.
May our leaders receive vision, understanding, revelation from Jesus. What we are seeing ,is the battle that is going on in the Spiritual Realm for our souls, just a physical picture, that people do not understand.
Do not blame the young , people, they have NO wisdom.
They were probably taught all this garbage in college, or by not going to church when they were young. May Jesus help US. Actually we can do all things in Jesus Christ, which strengthen US . Amen
It is a truly sad turn of events in our nation, when these misguided, deceived college kids are allowed to behave in such a ridiculous fashion. Also, that they are given so much coverage by the media. It is just one more symptom of the times that we are living in. I am not surprised that George Soros has a hand in funding this fiasco. Lord Jesus, by Your power and name, I swing the sword of the Spirit upon the head of this spirit of evil and confusion that has infiltrated our college campuses. I pray for a return to sanity, and that these senseless protests will come to an abrupt halt. Thank You Jesus.
For prayer point #4, does IFA have an article about “the truth about the Israel-Hamas conflict?” In particular, the contention about Gaza?
tge problem with these tents is they all look alike like someone other then students planned this
but i am praying
This is so obviously a full blown attack from the enemy, satan, and all his demons! The Jewish people, as we well know, are Gods chosen ones and the enemy hates them and all Christian’s as well who believe in the Messiah, Jesus. We know who wins…. Jehovah! Yahweh! The Almighty! Hallelujah’s! and let’s keep praising Him as He works to bring full victory over our foe!
The Lord says that He will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. The Lord is exposing the hearts of the people for all to see. This is the will of the Lord at this time. Harvest time approaches and each will reap the wages that he has sown. I pray that the Lord’s will will be done in all things.
In Jesus’ name we pray for revival across this country! The LORD is our mighty warrior and Savior! He can break the barrier of the dividing wall and bring peace! He can bring justice for the oppressed and stop the demonic influences invading our land. In the mighty name of Jesus, have mercy on us dear LORD, and heal our land. Amen!
precarious- characterized by a lack of security or stability that threatens with danger
Psalm 64: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2064&version=CJB
Acts 13:22 But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.
Dear Lord and Father God, we live in precarious times but this not unknown to You. You know the enemy. You hear the malicious words and see every plan of rebellion before they are even executed. You know intimately, each person involved in this vicious behavior. Please hear our prayers for protection. I pray You will shoot down every wicked plan and You will wound each individual from funder to protestor. I pray they will turn upon each other but ultimately understand that their ruin is a result of Your action. In that moment of realization, may they proclaim Your works and ponder what You have done. We rejoice in You. We take refuge in You. We exalt the Triune God of Israel, American and all nations…Father, Son and Holy Spirit. May these who we pray for do the same! You are 100 percent, all the time Lord. I pray Your best for Your Glory and Your best for our good. Amen
Let the love of God invade these campuses. Lord, let truth come forth as You open the eyes of those who oppose Israel. Strengthen and encourage the Christians on the campuses.
Amen and amen my brother in Christ Chuck Cohen. Praise God and give Him thanks for the gift of discernment and boldness in speaking the truth in love.
Praying for the Holy Spirit to move through every university calming and changing the atmosphere for the love of God and his wisdom to permeate hearts and minds. Comfort to the Jewish students and truth and resolve for those in charge to stand for truth and not back down. In Jesus’ precious name.
The only hope we have is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I pray for young men and women to be filled with boldness and courage empowered by the Holy Spirit to go to the front lines and confront these students with the truth of the Gospel. That they will go forth in the spirit of Elijah. Also, they will be backed up by the leaders of our churches through intercessory prayer and furnishing their financial needs. This entire uprising is spiritual.
I could go on, but this is my prayer in a nutshell.
Carol, “your nutshell” is beautiful!
Lord your desire is for none to perish and for all to have eternal life.Father we lift up all those who don’t know you.The students protesting, terrorist,unbelievers around the globe,Jewish people etc..Father remove the scales from their eyes, soften hearts. May they have an Apostle Paul Damascus experience. I was once blind but now I see moment.In Jesus mighty name.
Father, We come before you and we pray for confusion in the enemy’s camp to stop all of the enemy’s plans where they are protesting and gathering. We pray that the truth of who is financing and backing these persons/groups will be revealed to the world. We pray that the leadership on the campuses will be held responsible and liable for allowing students and non students to cause distractions and chaos creating unsafe situations on campuses for other students. That the truth of what actually happened on Oct 7, 2023 be made known throughout the world and we ask this in the mighty name of Yeshua Hamashia, the alpha and the omega, amen
Dearest Heavenly Father, I pray that you will continue to fight for and protect your people Israel. You are a God of order not chaos and I pray your perfect will be done. Help those in charge in America realize these individuals are standing on our soil saying and doing horrible things, not only to Jewish people but also crying death to America while they partake of the comforts you have blessed us with. Help all of America come to their senses and see that once they think they have eradicated the Jewish, they will next come for the Christians. Help our elected officials do their job and rescind any and all visas of those that are arrested in these unlawful protests and expel them from our country. We call into remembrance that you promise to bless those who bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel. We trust you, we know your promises are true and real and we stand on your word.
“…once they think they have eradicated the Jewish, they will next come for the Christians. ”
BJP, your comment reminded me of this quote. May God continue to bless us all.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
It is time for the Church to see that God is wanting His people to make aliyah – to return to Israel – where eventually all Israel will be saved (Zech. 12:10).
It is right and just to stand against anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, but to not see the hand of God releasing the hunters to chase His people home (Jer. 16:16) is to miss that which He is doing with all of His heart and soul (Jer. 32:41-44).
Also, the aliyah is declared to be for His glory – for His holy name’s sake (Isa. 43:5-7; Ezek. 36:23-24, plus many other verses).
And this issue – that God’s name would be sanctified on earth – is the first issue that Messiah Yeshua told us to pray for (Luke 11:2).
So do pray about these violent protests and pray for mercy on these deceived protestors, but please also pray for this explosion of anti-Semitism throughout the West to literally scare the “living exile” out of the Jews.
Amen and amen my brother in Christ Chuck Cohen. Praise God and give Him thanks for the gift of discernment and boldness in speaking the truth in love.
Father, in Jesus’ Name, I pray funding for protestors and protests promoting hatred, and anti-semitism
be stopped across America. By the power of Your Holy Spirit fill the hearts and minds of protestors
with truth, and cause those filled with hatred and rebellion, to know the love of Jesus. Bring peace and
sanity to campuses across America. Amen.
PRAYING AGAINST ATTACKS ON ISRAEL!
There is a need I keep hearing from the Lord that says these pro terrorists must hear the truth about the attack perpetrated on unarmed civilians in Isreal and that Hamas baked babies unable to defend themselves, beheaded people, killed children and took hostages. Those are not peaceful acts. Also they need to be reminded that these are terrorists who seek genocide against the Jewish people have also called death to all Americans. The students in this country need to be asked point blank why they align with a people who want to destroy them and this country.
So many prayer warriors pray for God’s heart. It is His will and heart to see His people restored to the land He promised to His friend Abraham. When God blesses us with His heart’s desire, we can’t help but cry out for His people’s salvation, protection, and deliverance. May you, oh Lord, bless Your church with Your heart and love for Israel.
