I Prayed
have prayed
We prayed that America would block the U.N. efforts to formally recognize a Palestinian state. Now we are happy to report that the Lord has answered our prayers!
From The Jerusalem Post. The United States stopped the United Nations Security Council from granting the Palestinians full-fledged membership in the global organization of 193 member states.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
“This vote does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood, but instead is an acknowledgment that it will only come from direct negotiations between the parties,” US Ambassador Robert Wood said after the vote.
The US was the only nation out of the 15-member UNSC to object to admitting Palestine as the 194th UN member state. Twelve UNSC nations, including France, approved the move. The United Kingdom and Switzerland abstained.
The motion failed, however, because the US is one of five permanent UNSC members with veto power, such that its “no” vote blocks the motion. …
The Palestinian Authority pushed for full statehood recognition on Thursday, for the first time in 12 years, in a bid to maximize growing support among Western countries for unilateral Palestinian statehood in light of the Israel-Hamas war.
Although Hamas began the war with its invasion of Israel on October 7, killing over 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages, international public sympathy has been with the Palestinians in Gaza in light of the high fatality count of over 33,000. Israel has said that over 13,000 of those are combatants.
Direct Talks
At the UNSC, Wood said there were “unresolved questions as to whether the applicant [the PA] meets the criteria to be considered a State.”
“We have long called on the Palestinian Authority to undertake necessary reforms to help establish the attributes of readiness for statehood and note that Hamas – a terrorist organization – is currently exerting power and influence in Gaza, an integral part of the state envisioned in this resolution.” …
Palestinian Authority Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour pushed back at Wood, stating that UN membership for his people was an “investment in peace.” …
Thanking the US for the resolution
Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, thanked the United States for blocking the resolution, explaining that the PA “does not meet even the most basic criteria and “has no authority over their territory.”
The PA, he said, is a “terror-loving entity” that had a policy of issuing monthly stipends to Palestinians who have killed civilians in terror attacks. …

Thank you Lord, now please end the Palestentian animosity and move on both natiins to end the bloodshed.. We ask knowing you hear and answer prayer
Amen and and praise the Lord.
May our Sovereign God, the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, the Redeemer God through Jesus Christ our Lord, keep Israel as the apple of His eye and protect her borders from further hostility from those nations of hate and destruction. May every lying tongue and distorted reasoning from terrorist organizations and their allies, be thwarted at every turn; thoroughly defeated at each vote in the UN. May the United States stand firmly with Israel and not allow misled leaders to change that directive set by God; may we stand firm with Israel and never give way to hostile nations. Bring forth godly leadership, Father, who will carry out Your Sovereign Will.
We Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever. (Psalms 136:1|NLT)
I thank Abba Father for His faithfulness and I our prayers were answered. I pray that the Palentines Authority never be apart of the UN.
Thank God I believe His guidance was involved in Ambassador Wood’s veto. The Palestinians are welcome to come to God without the terrorists who have chosen to follow satan. The need of a separate state for them isn’t needed to come to God. God will welcome all those who choose to follow His teachings. God has promised this land to the Israelites several times over the years if they will follows His commandments.
Thank you Jesus the prayers of the righteous of avail much
Thanks. Be to God.
In Jesus name, Amen.
All praise to the Lord God Almighty for the way the vote went at the U. N. !!! He will never abandon His people. God has chosen the Jewish people for His own to work through them and all Gentile Christians to save everyone who is willing from the wrath that is to come to those who refuse to know and obey The Lord. No one can defeat God’s will. He is in control of all that happens !!
Thank you for making it so easy to correspond with government officials. God bless you & your organization.
God in heaven, You are our Sovereign Lord Jesus who never sleep nor slumber. We give honor and praise and glory to Your Majesty, amen!!!!
Oh, Lord God may we continue to praise and honor with answered prayer. Also to
continue in prayer and not let up because that is what we recalled to do! May we continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem….Amen & Amen
In the Messiahs name,
Carol
Hallelujah! Praise God for answering prayers! Glory to God!
Heavenly Father, you will continue to watch over your people and answer our prayers. Thank You! Father, bring home the hostages as you brought them home out of Egypt. May eyes and hearts be opened to all to know Jesus, the Messiah, will return to earth for second and last time. I pray we will all be ready to receive Him.
In Jesus precious name, Amen
Thank you Father for hearing and answering these prayers!
Praise The LORD!
I pray that GOD would send revival to the British Isles and convince the British people of the truth of GOD’s Word concerning Israel, the Apple of GOD’s Eye, so that they, too, would vote as did the USA. THANK GOD FOR THE USA! And thank GOD for the Jewish people who continue to cling to the promises of GOD for HE will not fail them and HE will fulfill HIS promise in Genesis 12:3 “That I will bless those who bless Israel.” May the blessings of The LORD be upon all those today who prayed for GOD’s will for Israel! Halleluia!
Thank you Daddy God for always protecting Israel! No weapon formed against her will prosper!
Thank you for having intercessors on the wall interceding for Israel continually! In JESUS name! God bless Israel! May America never turn her back on Israel! In JESUS name!!!
Praise God for answered prayer!!
A question came to mind as I read this when I read “33,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza.” because it brought to my mind an article I read recently, but I don’t remember whether here on this site or somewhere else, which questioned where the 30,000 number came from that has been used without question in articles and discussions since this conflict began on Oct. 7th. The article referenced wondering where this number comes from and if it has been verified or just accepted without question? An example given was from the collapse of a beachside Florida high rise residence building and how many months it took to get an accurate count of the lives lost in this situation. And it was a small number of fatalities compared to 30,000. So the point was, where did this number come from? and so quickly after Oct. 7th and where was the proof, ie. bodies, graves etc. I believe this article said there was no verification of this number of fatalities which was put out by Hamas, who is not known for truthfulness, but simply acceptance and then repetition of this number as fact without question. Decisions made based on inaccurate information, or outright lies, are never the best decisions. People need to know the truth. Knowing the truth would make a difference in all the misguided anti Israel protests we are witnessing here and around the world. People are being manipulated by lies into thinking Hamas and Palestine are the victims as opposed to the aggressors. Truth is so important. Lord God, let the truth be known in all aspects of what is taking place now in the Middle East. Help me to be faithful in intercession for Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
SHOW ME………..where it is written in the word of God our Creator
of the Universe that HE e v e r gave the so called palistinians an inch
of ground………..anywhere on this planet…………research it!
The question is who are the Jewish people and who are the Palestinians?
It is understood that the Palestinians are descended from Ismael, who was the son of Abraham born to his wife’s servant Hagar.
Isaac (known as the son of laughter) was the only son born to Abraham and Sarah in their old age and his descendants are the Jewish people. After Sarah died, Abraham married again and fathered more sons.
The Bible tells us that GOD gave Abraham the land of Israel.
Genesis 15: 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates – the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.”
Yes, but, I believe God gave this land to Abraham via Isaac rather than Ismael; for it is the descendants of Isaac who Moses and Joshua led from captivity in Egypt to the promised land. All praise and glory to God.
Yes. That’s what Mari said. Ishmael was Isaac’s brother by a different mother, that is Hagar. Isaac was Abraham and Sarah’s son. Ishmael was not among the 12 tribes of Israel who received God’s promise.
Praise God! This is a sign that things haven’t completeoly gone off of the rails.
God is Good, I am so happy. 😀
Thank you God!!!!
Can’t wait for Trump to lead
Amen, all that is needed is the Palestinian “fuse to light up the explosive region.
Our faith and full support to the Israelites!
I am extremely disappointed by your attitude and also America blocking the recognition of the Palestine state- the Palestinian people are as much entitled to their homeland as the Israeli people. Whilst I decry what these terrorists did on October 7th there is no justification for Israel to blitz the homes and infrastructure as it has done in Gaza, nor is there any justification for the revenge killing of innocent lives in Gaza that stand at 38000 an average of over 200 killed every day. What a slap in the face to the father and God who called the Israeli HIS chosen people.
This is the worst type of genocide that has occurred in the past 25 years (other than current Russian atrocities in Ukrainel)
God gave it to Israel…
Lean not on your own understanding…but, study God’s word . That’s what war is….people die….Look what the Gov and Fauci did and let happen…..deliberately made a deadly virus that killed thousands, but that’s OK?
God is in control of everything….when we wake up and turn from our evil ways….then will God heal our land. Understanding God’s ways are different from ours. Thank you Lord , for we are your chosen people…Amen for Israel….!!!
SHOW ME………..where it is written in the word of God our Creator

It’s in the scriptures. The Jewish people are the Apple of God’s eye. Moses led the Israelites into the promised land but Roman occupied Israel for years. It was Emperor Hadrian who “cursed” it calling it Palestine. There is a film about all this and I believe it is called “Hadrian’s Curse”. The film talks about how there was never a “Palestinian” people. It was Hadrian who called it that.
Hamas is a terrorist organization and attacked Israel on October 7th.
Ferghil, there is no arguing with the clear teachings of Holy Scripture. Israel was given by Almighty GOD to the Jewish people. See Genesis 15:18. I understand that the Palestinian people are of Arabian descent. Your grief, and indeed the grief and pain we all share that war continues to take place on this planet is understandable, but remember it was Hamas who began this war and their inhumane, vile atrocities to innocent little babies and young adults are what caused Israel to retaliate. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem –this includes praying for their enemies to finally come to terms with the revealed will of Almighty GO and accept the Truth of the Holy Bible where the Scriptures clearly show that GOD gave Israel to Father Abraham. Meantime, Israel welcomes people from many lands to live there but peacefully which is not what Hamas is willing to do.
I say this in love, you need to read the scriptures. It is a sad state of affairs how the eduction system and MSM propaganda is lying to Americans.
I am not attacking you or anyone who feels this way, however, we need to know the truth.
Ferghil – I considered praying for the salvation of your lost and blind soul, but on reflection decided to leave it to Gods’ own will to “guide” you back to the path of honesty & truth – or not – as He decides.
Ferghil ,
There is no justification for killing of innocent civilians, ever. However, terrorist organizations like Hamas don’t play by the recognized international rules of war. They use human non-combatants as shields.
There has been no “blitz” or “revenge killing” by Israel, but there are unfortunate civilian casualties as in any war.
Pay close attention to both sides of the story. Remember Hamas when said the IDF bombarded a hospital killing 500, and the pictures afterwards showed no such damage to the hospital. The actual story is quite different from what Hamas said. Some windows were apparently broken amid some damage to the parking lot. Here is a link to a BBC article about ongoing fact checking 2 days after Hamas claimed 500 were killed: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67144061. This article makes the very necessary point that, “It is also important to note that as well as the physical fighting, this conflict is playing out as an information war.” The numbers Hamas quotes are often highly inflated as Israel is known to work within the established rules to protect, not hide behind, non-combatants.
Unless we are eye witnesses ourselves, we cannot know the exact circumstances. It could be propaganda from either side just as governments involved in WWII did to keep the “home front” from becoming discouraged.
When all’s said and done, our eyes should be firmly focused on God’s plan not men’s.
I thank God for his answered prayers for Israel. Lord I pray you will continue to protect Israel and the United States. In the name of Jesus.
I stand with all the prayers offered here at this altar to keep praying for Israel, the apple of God’s eyes . Thank you Lord for arising and striking down the entreaties and lies and attempts of the enemy masquerading like peace but instead they are trying to push for evil to exploit . Thank you Lord for this answered prayer .
I praise GOD for this answered prayer. To GOD be the glory!
Father, I come before you as your servant through the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and printed in the hands of the Messiah we stand on what your word has promised the Jewish nation and people thank you that you are not a God that you should lie we thank you that you’ve heard the petitions of your people Father we continue to ask for the peace of Jerusalem for the salvation of your people And that you would protect the Homeland that you promised the Jewish people in Jesus name amen ❣️
Palestine is not a state. Thats was the main argument. Thank you first rephrasing your title.
Praying for the Arabs who claim Palestine, that they would find Jesus
Amen
The Bible says there is no Palestine state. The Islamic people do not believe the bible which is God’s word and they believe Ishmael to be the one who the covenant was made with. This is all contrary to the bible which is God’s authoritative word. While written thousands of years ago, each and every prophecy written in it is coming true still today. Genesis 17: 19-21 say: 19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
Ezekiel 36: 19-28 says: Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. This land they are seeking and inhabiting belongs to Israel saith the Lord.
Thank you Father for your word, your faithfulness, your sacrifice and your never ending promises. We stand on your word and we pray your WILL over our lives and this entire world. We honor you and trust you, Savior. Blessed be the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
i stand w istael. i pray daily for the peace for Jerusalem.
Thank You Lord God, for answered prayer. You watch over your word to perform it. Thank You saving and bringing Israel to the light of who You are. They and America shall be saved. I believe it and declare it in Jesus name! Amen
AM YISRAEL CHAI !
I pray that this evil would be expose of the agenda to divide Israel. The Islam states not only wants to wipe out Israel and America. But want eventually rule the whole world. I pray that the Christian church wakes up and starts praying and acting against this evil plot. The fervent prayers of the righteous availed much, In Jesus’ name..
