THE SHIELD Intercession Updates Weekly

¶But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.

Psalms 3:3 AMP

This is The Shield.

It contains updates from around the world for the priestly function of prayer and intercession that God has called us to. As we await the appearance of the Son of God from heaven God has instructed us to WATCH AND PRAY.

Here follow the first prayer items:

• The salvation of children all around the world. That they would each one hear and understand the gospel. That it would come to each one in power and by the conviction of the Holy Spirit. That they would receive the Word, each one, whereby they will be born again, nothing hindering. Every obstacle to their entry into God's kingdom, whether natural or spiritual, is now cast aside and removed from them forever. The glorious gospel of the blessed God shines into their hearts and minds and they receive the knowledge of the Son of God completely. All this is accomplished with speed.

All around the world children are raised in different environments and nurtured in a variety of ways. Some are born into homes filled with false religious or ideological propaganda. Others are left to the mercy of their electronic devices and the influences they accumulate via the internet. To some it's poverty and to some fatherlessness.

Whatever the case, God has His eyes on them and wants them won for the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ.

* Israel.

As the 70th week of Daniel and the rise of the antichrist draws ever nearer, we see the stage being set for the final battle of Armageddon at Megiddo. Russia and China are gearing up, with other forces like Egypt, Iran and Turkey also stirring.

Just like Paul, our heart's desire is for Israel to be saved. We pray for the salvation of Jews and that every Jew would hear the full gospel of the Messiah Jesus Christ at least once.
