1 One Year Bible Intercessors... As the world grows darker, the news is bleaker and we know that the Coming of Jesus is soon, we pray that the Triune God will mightily break the power of the evil one; smash the yokes of bondage, illness and problems that bind his children, and set His captives free... "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations." "The Good News of Salvation" Isaiah 61:1-4 NKJV) "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

2 ("Concluding Religious Directions" Hebrews 13:8 NKJV) Amen. Prayers for America "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." ("God's People Are Comforted" Isaiah 40:31 NKJV) As Americans, we are in a tough time of testing. Belief in our founding God and the faith that our founding fathers had in Him, is challenged daily. Our Constitution and time-honored traditions and truths are being dashed in the name of political correctness. We see people being killed in the name of false religion and are told by our government and certain media not to worry because it won't happen here..even though it already has... We ask our God, our Founding Father, to please redeem our nation so that it can walk with Him. Belief in Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father and to eternal life. We pray that this truth be known in America, Israel and throughout the whole world and universe that He has created!

3 As daily headlines become more negative, we must not give up! In 2 Chronicles 20, we are told of God's destruction of three armies threatening the Israelites. Instead of being afraid, they bowed themselves before YHVH and believed He would help them. They went to battle with the priests and Levites in front of their army, worshipping and praising God for the salvation from their enemies they knew He was going to give them! "Thus says the Lord to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's... You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you." ("Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir Defeated" 2 Chronicles 20:15-17 NKJV) May God show us how to live with His courage in this critical hour in America. May we ask Him how to pray and proceed in the midst of ungodliness and horrific situations that we witness and have no control over. May America choose to serve God and not man. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. Thank you for continuing to pray the Lord's Prayer for His Blessings to be upon our nation, Israel and for the Whole World that He has created...

4 Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power and the Glory forever and ever. Amen. ` Prayers For Israel, And, for the Middle East... Father of Israel, the Great I AM, please protect Your nation Israel.

5 As she faces more and more attacks from the world that You have created...may those nations who still stand with her be encouraged and blessed by You. May her neighbors and enemieswho hate her be calmed down by Your Holy Spirit, may they know Your Peace that passes all understanding. May they know without a doubt that Israel is the rightful heir to the land that You have given to them. Thank you for telling us of their right to the land, over and over in Your Word: "And He said to me, 'Son of man, this is theplace of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever." 'The Temple, the Lord's Dwelling Place" Ezekiel 43:7 NKJV) Please intervene, and allow Your nation's people and those Jews living in the Jewish Diaspora, an opportunity to know and receive Your Son, Yeshua as their Living Messiah. We ask Your blessings to be upon Israel, the Apple of Your Eye! We await the fulfillment of Your Prophetic Word of Salvation for Zion. In Yeshua's Name we pray. Amen. "Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but thelord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising." "Your sun shall no longer go down, nor shall your moon withdraw itself; for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended. Also your people shall all be righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time." ("The Gentiles Bless Zion," and "God the Glory of His People" Isaiah 60:1-2 and NKJV)

12 For our faithful intercessors and readers, we have developed a "One Year Bible and Torah Readings Letter," with an attached amplified weekly Sunday-Saturday "One Year Bible" Word document that includes One Year Bible Scripture references, as well as their chapter headings. Our history is that to learn more about our Judeo-Christian roots, over four years ago, we added into the existing "One Year Bible" weekly letter, the traditional Shabbat Torah/Old Testament and Haftarah/Prophets Readings read by observant Jews worldwide. We have also included the Brit Chadashah or New Testament Readings read by Messianic Jews. This easy-to-use format gives us a "heads-up" for daily Scripture readings, and tells us what the weekly Shabbat Torah readings are for Friday and Saturday. We can read and pray through the Bible and Torah readings, and compare their teachings to world, national, state and local headlines; as well as to situations in our daily personal and business lives! Again, attached to this letter is this week's "Word" document of One Year Bible Readings amplified with chapter headings. As the Lord leads, I have highlighted key verses in purple...his color of royalty. God Is So Good! In closing, I pray that you will be blessed as you read God's Word in His "Amplified One Year Bible" and in His Messianic Torah, Haftarah/Prophets and Brit Chadashah/New Testament Readings. I pray that our combined prayers, covering America, Israel and the Whole World that He has Created, will help establish God's Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven!

13 I ask that God will richly bless all who read and pray with God's Word. I ask God to bless the faithful who pray for America, Israel and the Whole World that He has Created, in the Day and Night Watches! And I pray, that God will bless all who follow His Leading and His Word... May many be added to His flock daily, for His Glory, until Jesus Returns! In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
