Lord God, we pray with Paul the Apostle:

1Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. (Romans 10:1)

Send salvaiton, healing and deliverance to Your people, Israel. We especially pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I have a hard time understanding how Israel will come to this peace, but I know that YOU know. So bring peace to Jerusalem. Work Your eternal purposes through Your people, The Jews. I ask and pray, in Jesus Name, amen.

Middle East Conflict
Israeli Brigades Locked in Fighting with Hezbollah
By Chris Mitchell
CBNNews . com – More than three weeks into the conflict, six Israeli brigades remained locked in fighting with Hezbollah guerillas throughout southern Lebanon, while Israeli reservists continued to prepare for further incursions.
Wednesday’s record of more than 230 rockets was followed by another massive missile barrage of more than 160 on Thursday. Eight Israelis died in the attack, three of them in the town of Acre. They died when they came out of bomb shelters after an initial strike and were killed when more missiles fell.
Hezbollah leader Saed Nasrallah said he held the U.S. responsible for the current conflict and said Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was only a tool of the United States. He also warned Israel in a videotaped message that if Israel struck central Beruit, then Hezbollah would strike Tel Aviv.
However, despite that ominous warning, Nasrallah also said he would stop the rocket attacks against northern Israel in return for an end to Israeli air strikes throughout Lebanon. It’s the first conciliatory statement by Nasrallah since the war began and it might be one indication Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah is taking a toll on the terrorist group.

Despite the War in the Middle East, all of the evangelists have prayed and SBM’s First International Evangelist Outreach to ‘Gay’ WorldPride 2006 Project: Jerusalem, Israel, August 6 – 12th, 2006… IS STILL ON!
The day is here: we leave for Jerusalem, Israel....
Stephen Bennett Ministries is pleased to announce the ministry’s first international missions trip to evangelize the homosexual for Jesus Christ – in the Holy City – Jerusalem, Israel. ‘Gay’ World Pride (WorldPride . net) is taking place the week of August 6th – 12th, where over 300,000 homosexuals are expected to descend upon the Holy City to demand “acceptance” from the world’s three major religions – and God. SBM is sending an evangelistic team of trained evangelists to win the lost for Christ.
SBM will be reporting daily from Israel, live blogging, photos, videos and more.
For up-to-the-minute information, go to www . SBMWorldPride . com NOW!

UPDATE
www . sbministries . org/
Stephen Bennett and the SBM Evangelists returned home safely from SBM’s very first international missions trip to reach the homosexual for Jesus Christ in Jerusalem, Israel! SBM’s International Evangelistic Outreach in Jerusalem was by far, the most powerful evangelistic outreach to the homosexual the ministry has done to date.
To read more about SBM’s Jerusalem ‘Gay’ WorldPride Outreach, see photos, read all of the evangelists’ blog posts and watch videos, please visit SBM’s sister-site www . SBMWorldPride . com.

....We were called to reach the homosexual and everyone else the Lord appointed to put in our path August 5, 2006 – from Bertucci’s Restaurant in Shelton on Friday, until we each physically collapsed from emotion or exhaustion at some point on Sunday, August 12, 2006....Now, we wait, we pray for fruit from the harvest, we pray for rain to make it grow, and we pray to reap the seed that was sown. Thank you LORD for calling and using each one of us. Forgive us for OUR sin, and conform us even today more into the image of Your precious Son, Jesus Christ....In the Old Testament, stones were set up as a “memorial unto the Lord” – that should the Lord tarry, generations to come would see the stones and say, “What do these mean?” (Joshua 4: 1-9)....May this story and chapter in our lives never be forgotten. May it always tell of the great and mighty things our Lord and Savior – Jesus Christ – did when He called 12 ordinary men and women - in one moment of time - to a distant and foreign land, Jerusalem, Israel, to accomplish something special for an EXTRAORDINARY God....

Lord, I pray for Israel in this matter. Let the judgements of this world pass through your ears unnoticed and hear the blessings declared upon Israel: The Lord bless you and keep you, Israel. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.

Lord, quide the required Israelite rockets so they would inflict only minimal civilian casualties. Let Your Holy hand bring finally peace between those two nations and may your forgiving love harvest willing souls from both countries.

Amen.

Lord, protect Israel...it is Yours. Direct their steps, and lead them. Lord, open their eyes that they "see" their Messiah. Father, deliver them I ask in the Name of Jesus THE LORD! Amen

I don't want to dispute the facts, no war is a good thing, there's always innocent people who become victims, but the way the Israeli government is just unwittingly going about blowing up residential flats in Beirut is clearly not based on good intelligence - they are paying back 10 times their losses according to old testament laws/principles. This is also referred to as 'revenge' in clear modern terms.

Is this the way Jesus would answer such an attack? no, Jesus is not a murderer

I'm praying for Israel just as much as I'm praying for Lebanon, the latter which is in much dire straits right now, with close to 1 million people homeless, their infrastucture destroyed and their fragile democracy flayed. When you pray, don't forget to pray for your Christian brothers and sisters in Lebanon as well (39% of the Lebanese population)

What Hizbollah did is not right, neither is the Israeli government's response.

Ps 118:8 - It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man
