I Prayed have prayed
Lord God Almighty, we ask that U.S. leaders would align our foreign policy to Your Word and Your plan for Israel.

President Trump is the most pro-Israel president in American History. It is widely acknowledged by Israelis as well as many American Evangelicals that no president has done more to bless Israel and the Jewish people. Support for Israel was a frequently repeated campaign promise and he has kept his word.

This is why the proposed Peace and Prosperity plan, or “The Deal of the Century” is so confusing and potentially divisive. We’re all for peace in Israel. We want God’s justice and love to be fully manifest for all the people in the land. Many Palestinians are living in oppressive poverty and suffering great injustices at the hands of wicked rulers, so what could be wrong with a plan that promises peace and prosperity for everyone?

I’m not a political strategist or a biblical scholar. I’m pretty simple and practical, so I have a few lenses I look through when I look at political policies related to Israel. First, the Jesus we love is profoundly Jewish. He picked His birthplace from before the foundations of the world. He could have been born in Cleveland, but He wasn’t. Israel, and particularly Jerusalem were made by Him, for Him, and still matter to Jesus. Secondly, He could have been any ethnicity and He chose to be Jewish. He is right now seated in heaven at the right hand of the Father in a resurrected body as a Jewish man. He will be Jewish forever. Thirdly, Jesus, our Jewish King, will rule His Kingdom forever from His throne in Jerusalem as promised to David and his descendants. This all adds up to one last filter; God the Father made promises about that Kingdom, those people, and that land that He takes very seriously. He tied Himself irrevocably to this land with a blood covenant between Abraham and Him.

The Peace and Prosperity plan looks good until viewed through the lens of God’s warnings to anyone who would divide His land according to their own interests.

The righteous judgments of the Lord are against those who divide the land God promised Abram and his descendants forever. Others have documented the national calamities that have occurred immediately following previous land division plans. The Peace and Prosperity plan gives control of 70% of Judea and Samaria, or what is commonly called “the West Bank,” to Palestine.

The plan proposed by the Trump administration would divide land that biblically, historically, and legally belongs to Israel.

The political, spiritual, and military leaders of Palestine consider the eradication of Israel and all Jews foundational to their identity. They have repeatedly turned down offers for more land than is being offered now, more potential economic benefits for the Palestinian people, because they refuse to acknowledge Israel’s right to even exist. Giving them 70% of Judea and Samaria would suddenly isolate predominantly Jewish towns inside of Palestinian territory. The potential for increased terrorism against innocent civilians is frightening.

The plan is framed as “annexation” or “sovereignty” because it gives Israel authority over 30% of the land in the “West Bank.” This looks good until you look through a simple lens: Israel has a claim to 100% of Judea and Samaria. This has long been established by international law, treaties, and even war. For any nation to propose that Israel give up Israeli land in the name of Israeli sovereignty is a gross injustice. Israel is a sovereign nation with established borders. But beyond that, God calls this land and its people the apple of His eye. America needs to support Israel’s right to lead their land, not dictate the boundaries of what land Israel will lead.

President Trump was elected in part because of an historic Evangelical voter turnout. He is a flawed and weak person just like everyone else who has ever held the office of President of the United States. He does things that many in the Evangelical world disagree with and even rightly pray he would repent for having done. Jesus has never been on the political ballot.

But we vote based on the lens through which we view God’s purposes for America in the world and especially as it relates to Israel. President Trump needs to publicly confirm Israel’s sovereign entitlements to the land of Israel including 100% of the “West Bank” thus providing legal and moral clarity in the midst of confusion. He needs to withdraw support for the maps that divide Israel and Jerusalem in the Peace and Prosperity plan. President Trump can support Israel’s leadership in negotiations with Palestinian leaders without having America take the lead. All these steps would help unify the Evangelical voters critical to his reelection.

President Trump has stood bravely against Dictators and Kings who rule their own people harshly and threaten to make war on neighboring democracies. He stood firmly against tyrannical enemies of South Korea and Poland. He can now stand against the forces that would divide the land God made a covenant to preserve as an inheritance for His Son.

I’m not a bible scholar, nor do I claim to be. I did however hear someone say the way the land I’d divided up is exactly as the Bible claims it would be in the last days. I wish I knew which verses show this… just bringing it up for discussion

Dave Thomas

God created Jewish people and formed them into Nationality as one people, and one family, through Abraham’s faith and friendship with Christ, male and female He created them, from the same stock as all humanity in Adam, and made them equal with Himself at the cross, exalting those who believed among them in Him from all their generations, to seat them ascended with Himself in heavenly places, as He does with every believer in the Gospel of God!

He is not “profoundly Jewish”, He is the second man Adam, the Lord from heaven, seated in the greater body and genealogy of immortality!

There can be two States under one federal head, in charge of the whole borders in Israel as there is 50 Sovereign States inside the whole borders and Constitution of America set in trust with Christ as Lord!

Israel would advance from Statehood, to one new Nation with two States coming into more perfect union.

Unless Jesus Christ builds the Nationality, they that order any boundaries for Statehood, do so in vain!
~ Psalm 33:12, Deut 32

I think this is a very flawed perspective of the role Trump plays, Israel plays and the rest of the world plays in this critical end time event. This author writes as though Trump/Israel/world are the ones in control. We worship a sovereign God who will bring His purpose to fruition. Will He use these three components to cause this to happen? Of course He will. Is He using this flawed peace plan to bring about the end time wars? Very likely. God allows these things to occur or he causes them to happen. We place an incredible and unbiblical amount of importance on ourselves in the whole scheme of things.

Praise God for His divine plan since before the beginning of time. The proposed peace plan for the Palestinians must NOT give them one inch of God’s precious land. The Palestinians are like the Phillistines…..see the history of Hadrian before Constatine. It is an evil plan to give away what beings to Israel. Pray and fast for our Administrators to do the Godly thing!

Thank you for this article! I agree with not dividing Jerusalem! America needs to stand with Israel and not divide the land! We must get this across to President Trump! I pray he will listen to the Holy Spirit! America needs to never be a part of dividing the Holy Land because the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob says not to do it! In Jesus name I pray! Amen

Mr Trump needs to hear fron Pastors and Christians that he must not remove any land fron Israel. We will suffer greatly if one inch is removed from Israel, which is not occupying nearly the amount the Lord gave to the Jews –to Abrhaham and then again to the Israelites under Joshua.
Please send emails to http://www.whitehouse.gov/comment and let President Trump know what was just explained above. We cannot divide Israel. Please listen to the above video and then write an email to this over worked, well-meaning President.

We know in 1 Thess. 5 Paul is talking about the “day of the Lord” that is coming. He warns that “while people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.” The following verses talk about the necessity of staying alert and self-controlled, not asleep and unaware. So thankful for IFA and keeping us abreast of current events and calling all believers to prayer during this critical time in history. Indeed, we want peace on earth, but only the Prince of Peace can bring lasting, enduring peace to our troubled world. May we keep our eyes wide open as we clothe ourselves in God’s powerful armor and trust Him to take us through whatever is coming.

I pray this peace plan can be undone in regards to dividing Israel immediately. I pray President Trumps eyes and ears be opened to review and receive Bill Koenig “EYE TO EYE” book with updates in depth as well as Kushner Pompeo and Friedman. The answer is right in front of them. I also have questioned and commented why does Bill Koenig, Joel Rosenberg, Michelle Bachmans comments, videos, book reach President Trump and these leaders? Emphasis in prayer and someone anointed to quickly share this information and that it be received. What about this video Dave Kubal? Can you get it to Trump or Pompeo? It seems so simple and so required. If they all know it they are all in rebellion. Prayers for eyes opened and ear unplugged now.

Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have announced they are joining forces to prevent Israel from extending sovereignty over 30% more of Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley. They will not live up to what the deal requires of them, so the land will not be divided. Extend the sovereignty. Deuteronomy 7:22 The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you little by little; you will be able unable to destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. That was then, but based on that principle, now may be the time for more of the little by little. The big question is, have we changed the deal, the one embraced by Bibi, from what was first proposed? Pray for our beloved President and Jared Kushner and Prime Minister Netanyahu. These are very high stakes, and the opposition to it from the left, the radical Dems, and all the usual international order is becoming threatening. All that’s been shared here about dividing the land is biblically correct, but as with most things with President Trump, this may be a different way to do something God wants done at this time.

Politics are often done in phases. President Trump has stood firm in His support for Israel. More than any President. A little respect for the President and submitting with grace to his authority is also scriptural. My heart breaks to witness President Trump encircled with endless packs of hyenas from every organization all decrying his actions.

Pastor Karen Lester
July 9, 2020

This is the problem with any country or the UN deciding what a country should do with their own land, healthcare, businesses, or crops.

God gave Israel to Abraham and all descendants from then till the end time. No one has any business telling them what they can do with their land.
It is as bad as a Country, State, County or City telling you what you can do with your land, or seizing it, because they chose to.

We’ve prayed about this for years, and the UN had never done anything from the time they recognized Israel, this situation would have never
gotten so out of control.

Trump has kept his promises regarding Israel, and been better than many other Presidents of America that promised and never kept their promise. There are too many Islamic countries in the UN that have power and use their money to influence votes about Israel. They all need to step back or not be allowed a vote regarding Israel’s borders or their actions in defense of their lands. God is going to protect them and we need only pray for them to listen to God and follow him. Everything ever written in Scripture about this has come to pass, and we must trust God to bring it all to pass without our input.

I am so glad that President Trump calls Jerusalem the capitol of Israel and that he is so pro-Israel. I bleive he has gotten some bad advice about dividing the land, as in the natural, it would seem like a smart thing to do. But Joel 3:2 talks about when God brings the nations to war in judgement for 1) scattering up His people and 2) dividing the land. Yikes! We must not divide the Land. God gave it to the Jews and although they never ruled over all of what they were supposed to get because of disobedience, we should not add to their disobedience by encouraging them to give it away.

Trump has done so well on many issues but absolutely NO!
to dividing the land of Israel. He must read the Bible and realize the strong message spoken to any country that would seek to appease certain heads of state in this manner! He will not have the support of evangelical Christians who know their Bible well!

I know for a fact that the Lord sent one of His prophets to PM Netanyahu twice to warn him, that God would only keep him in office if he did not give away any land that rightfully belongs to Israel, and God kept His promise. But then, the PM praised and accepted President Trump’s Peace Plan. He should know better because God hasn’t changed His opinion, nor should anybody, no matter what his political authority may be, think him/herself above God’s autority over Israel which is HIS land which HE decided to give to HIS people. Instead, no matter how much international pressure may be exerted, and how many threats the enemies of God and Israel pose, those that are on God’s side should put into practice what they confess with their mouths: In God we trust!, submit to God’s will, declare Israel’s sovereignty over the entire West Bank, and believe that God will deliver Israel from her enemies, as He has always done when called upon! By the way, all Arabs I talked to in my many visits to Israel, said that they by far prefer to live in Israel under a Jewish government than in a Palestinian state under a Palestinian government! If Israel will give away more of her land, severe divine judgment will be inevitable. Don’t mess with God!

Father God, Your will be done. And we know if it is God’s will that 100% of the land be returned to Israel, it WILL be done! Therefore I pray for President Trump to tread carefully, according to Your good and perfect will. Father, give President Trump eyes to see and ears to hear You. We thank You for him and we pray that You guide and protect Him. Lord, please bring unity for Your will amongst every world leader, advisor and consultant engaged in this plan. The Lord’s will be done!! In Jesus mighty name, Amen.

    To even mention dividing the land is suicide! You are poking God in the eye. I believe all the chaos in America is because of the intent to divide God’s land. I don’t believe God caused it. We caused it. Own it! It is an open portal. Every legal right was given to satan to unleash the bowels of hell. Look at the anti-Christ spirit being spewed across CNN blatantly in America’s face even denying the divinity of Jesus Christ. Riots, killing, chaos, plagues, socialist/communist agenda, the deep state, Bill Gates. The great wealth and good economy fell through the holes overnight? We know the direct results of what we do, blessing or curse. We are without excuse. We as a nation need to repent of insulting God. We as America need to do the right thing. Being right is not popular but who do you fear God or man?

    As Jesus, God’s Only Begotten Son, and Savior of the world, hung on that horrible cross, He cried, “My God, My God, why has Thou forsaken me?” He endured the vilest form of murder that anyone ever did. He knew no sin, but died for ours. We are still crying out, “Give us Barabbas!” We should be crying out, “My God, My God, WHY HAVE WE FORSAKEN YOU? FORGIVE US. God is tired of sugarcoating sin, the very thing that HIS SON died for. We need to call it just as God called it. SIN. Period. God is no respecter of persons and we will reap what we have sown. We as Christians ought to know this very well. How can we be salt and light if we take lightly Jesus’ finished work on the cross? Why should we be surprised? Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. One day we will all have to stand before the judgment seat of God and give an account of the deeds done in the body, whether good or bad. We have failed God miserably.

I pray for forgiveness and mercy upon our nation for proposing Israel give up sovereignty over ANY of the land God promised to belong to His Chosen People. Ownership, leadership, and stewardship of the Holy Land has been meant only for the Jewish people, as a covenantal promise from Almighty God . . . and I believe that we have witnessed the effects of suggesting otherwise. Shortly after the “Deal of the Century” was finally announced, the Covid-19 virus and racial tensions combined to bring our country to its knees. I hope and pray that our president and the citizens of our own blessed land will seek Him with our whole hearts while we are in this humble posture; and may the Lord listen to us as we find Him when we seek Him with our whole hearts (Jer.29:12-13). In Jesus’ name, amen.

2 Chronicles 20:29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.

This is so true and so necessary. To define Israel apart from God and His Word will cause a horrific collapse of whoever facilitates it. Leave Israel with the same boundaries God gave her in the beginning. She is anointed of God for a specific purpose and God will finish what He has started with or without America.

I have to ask this question: Why hasn’t Paula White explained to the President about this matter? Any attempt by nations to divide Israel will see their own nation suffer God’s wrath. The video explains well how God has sent His wrath upon the USA during President Trump’s time in office because of this too. God help them to see this clearly. In Jesus’ name we pray.

You have been hood winked! I tried to warn Christian leaders not to vote for him. He was not chosen by God. This is a prayer forced to get him elected. You vote based on leaders hard & how they would lead on this nation & Israel. He was the wrong choice.

Clinton would have remained loyal to Israel. Now you going have push stronger to get Biden elected. He has a righteous heart. I don’t always agree with his policies but, he will lead Well because he fears God!

      Surely, you are not questioning lies when the evil man in office lie daily. Anyone who agrees to turn on Israel I have no respect for.

So church leaders must do a better job & teaching people to make righteous choices!

        July 9, 2020

        If you believe what you are saying here, you are deceived, you are rejecting God’s truth for man’s ideology and you must repent!
        On the point of abortion specifically, you say “Abortion have been legal since Roe vs Wade.” Murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. By that definition, abortion is murder, or do you disagree with God about our humanity (Psalm 139:13 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb)? Do you believe that babies don’t start out as human, that somehow they just magically pass out of the womb from a state of non-human to human or however you justify the notion you have here. According to what you are saying compared to what God is saying, it is man that has decided murder is legal-last I checked God is opposed to it.
        Exodus 20:13 “You shall not murder.” Repent and not only that but it might be wise for you to prayerfully consider turning off the TV, rely on alternative news sources, learn to challenge the worldy agenda and read your Bible more so that you are better able to have the mind of Christ and think for yourself…

          You are very misinformed and you did not read my comments well. I did not say, I believed in abortion. I said, they are legal. So as a leader in the churches and parents we must do a better job in teaching our children to make righteous choices.

          If, any leader turn against Israel they have turned against God. I said, Biden would be the best choice because his heart is righteous. I do not agree with some of his policies, but his heart is good and he will sit down at the table with the average person. He will do right by Israel.

I pray now and have been praying that President Trump would be given the TRUE understanding of the land boundaries that were given to Father Abraham and that our President Trump would declare those borders be acknowledged and maintained as rightfully belonging to Israel. I pray that God will cause President Trump to be led to the TRUTH by the Holy Spirit and make a decree as to Israel’s land borders. I pray also for the those who advise President Trump be led to the TRUTH on this border matter. May God strengthen the hands of President Trump to do the right thing and not divide Israel and may those who advise him who know better act accordingly. May the heart of President Trump be turned in humbleness to God and may the Holy Spirit come upon him to lead him in the right way. In Jesus’ mighty name.

DO NOT DIVIDE WHAT GOD HAS ORDAINED!!!!!!!

not resources to harm Gods purposes in Isreal. May pure people with level headed thinking be over decisions that need to be made.

Israel has been fought over and within herself for over 2000 years for this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: which say to the seers, see not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, curse the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee saying, This is the way, walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lightning down his arm, the indignation of his finger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, tempest, and hailstones. For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod. ALL OF WHICH IS THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE LORD. I pray for Israel’s salvation!

May I humbly say that we as intercessors must SEE beyond the surface to what is happening behind the scenes. Time and again President Trump has remained a step ahead of his adversaries, because he is working a “strategy within the apparent strategy”. What initially appears to be the policy, is only a starting point to generate necessary activity to bring many things to light that have been hidden in darkness. Ultimately, through this process, President Trump by the Hand & Help of God, moves through the maze of wickedness in high places to render right outcomes that at first were not visible or even viable until he navigated and negotiated a path forward to the desired finish line. Israel is a major example of such ‘strategy within the strategy’. NO ONE was any longer coming to the table for so-called peace talks, until the Deal of the Century was presented. Via ‘The Deal’, we have been able to outright witness the movements of darkness, able to see their ‘alliances and defiances’ and calculate critical responses accordingly, the results of which are provoking Zion to straighten her backbone and find her footing … to remember who she is. Little by little (Exodus 23:30), as in the original possessing of The Promised Land, His Covenant Nation is returning to the ordinances and fulfilling the prophecies of The Lord God of Israel, with America His Chosen Ally (Isaiah 48:14-15) standing by to lift up Zion’s eyes & arms to ‘The Lord Our God The Lord Is One’ (Deuteronomy 6:4). May Holy Spirit cause us to SEE as Heaven SEES in this year of HIS 2020 Precision Vision.

    We need to continue to pray for wisdom and direction for President Trump as I believe he love Israel and the Jewish people and yes WE don’t see everything that he is having to deal with behind the scene.I pray evangelicals that say Trump is ” not Godly” enough wake up and see everything that he has done especially for the church.I in no way condone some of the way he says things nor his harshness however God is still wanting to use him.President Trump loves the Lord and 🇺🇸.And Israel.

    Wendy Finch hits the nail on the head. Trump has a strategy beyond what we see.

    In his post, The Art of the Deal, Bill Perkins of Compass International writes, “Trump wrote a best-selling book entitled The Art Of The Deal. So he knows a little bit about negotiating. He’s looked at why the past Middle East peace deals failed and determined the problem was the architects didn’t address the people/culture. They only dealt with a military peace treaty. So the Trump treaty proposal includes dealing with both the culture and the military. The elephant-in-the-room question is: Will the Arabs really be able to accept Israel as their neighbor, without universally trying to defeat her 24/7? Only time will tell. And if they say they will accept Israel, based on past comments, they’re lying.” https://compass.org/trumps-deal-of-the-century/

    Continue to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. Ps 122:6 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

      Yes … as President Trump continues moving further into the ‘cultural dimension’ not just as concerns the Light-Dark ‘tug of war’ throughout Israel but as concerns all that is prematurely ‘posturing’ across America, he is simultaneously moving into what I clearly heard God say about this president as to this 2020 ‘Year of the Father’… i.e. that President Trump is presently transitioning from ‘fighter to father’. Whereas he has needed to fight for every inch of ground he is taking by the Grace of God, he will more and more visibly transition into a fatherly position drawing many toward him even among many nations that initially in 2017 were following his lead and will soon follow again.

I don’t understand why the US would want to mess with Israel’s land. The land that God gave to Israel. I know in the old testament, when Israel repented, God moved GREATLY and protected, loved, gave mercy and Grace to Israel. Israel is the apple of God’s eye. May God reveal truth about Israel land, to President Trump. May we bless Israel and give ALL her land back. The Bible says ” not to touch( give harm) to God’s anointed. Israel is God’s annointed. God bless Israel. May we pray and bless Israel. May God send His mighty angel warriors and surround Israel, protect, heal, restore, and fight for Israel Amen

I was wondering if there is a correlation between the announcement of peace plan, dividing the land of Israel and the chaos we see today in America?

I agree that Israel should have ALL the land that God gave them and that President Trump as Leader of the USA should fully support Israel’s efforts to do just that. I have and will continue to pray for that end.

Thank you for your article. Yes, the boundaries of Israel are well defined in the Bible with God’s righteous judgment against those who attempt to divide the physical land of Israel. We must all be in prayer for President Trump to heed and obey what God has said.

I agree with the article. Can you set up a “take action” format to send encouragement to the President to support 100 percent of the West Bank for Israel?

    Wendy Joseph
    July 9, 2020

    Yes I agree. Is it possible to set up some kind of petition to sign in support of Israel that could be sent to President Trump? I know I have signed many petitions in the past.

    With all the chaos in the world right now I believe President Trump is doing his absolute best to help the USA and Israel. He needs our help and our prayers to have his eyes opened to see that what he is thinking is a good deal actually is wrong.

    Not many of us would want the job of President, especially in such turbulent times. We need to pray for God’s supernatural strength to surround our President and that God will send Godly men and women to encourage him and guide his choices.

    This election is so crucial to our country. May God continue to bless America, and may believers pray continually for strength to stand firm and in faith for what we know is Truth not lies.

Father God,
Please speak clearly to President Trump about Israel. Please quiet those voices which would push him to do something out of alignment with Your will. Give President Trump Your wisdom and discernment, knowledge and understanding, insight and revelation in this matter. We pray that You grant him great clarity as to what he should do. Thank You that You will give him the resolve to do what is right in Your eyes and You will pour out a significant blessing on him that will confirm that he has made the right choice.
Please grant these requests in the name of Your Son Jesus. Amen.

    Father, we extend this prayer to all who come to the table. For wisdom lies in a multitude of counselors. Speak to those surrounding the treaty makers. As you spoke to biblical patriarchs, speak through your prophets today, speak through a child, a wife, a mother; speak through nature or the stillness of a quiet moment; speak audibly or silently in a vision or a dream. May ears be open to hear, eyes open to see – the veil of witchcraft lifted, so that your will is done on earth as in heaven. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. Amen

Thank you for this insight and simple, profound, wisdom.

Question: does timing of the unveiling of the plan to divide the land coincide with the attack of the “invisible enemy?”

    I believe it does. Perhaps because we (the United States) participated in trying to divide God’s land, He has allowed the horrible division in our own country. I have heard several people express this.

    You are about the only one on this thread that get this…you can’t divide Israel land without receiving God’s punishment. Look at America…
