A Prophetic Invitation to Fast and Pray for Israel


A Prophetic Invitation to Fast and Pray for Israel

Article | July 11th, 2025

In the aftermath of the recent 12-day war between Israel and Iran, we find ourselves in a critical moment in time.

We are now entering what is known in the Hebraic calendar as “The Three Weeks”, a time frame of mourning and reflection for the people of Israel. This season begins on the 17th of Tammuz (July 13th) and ends on the 9th of Av (August 3rd). These days are not just about remembering the past, but they are a prophetic call for the present.

Throughout history, these three weeks have marked some of the most painful moments for our people:

  • The walls of Jerusalem were breached during this time.
  • The daily sacrifice ceased in the Second Temple.
  • Both the First and Second Temples were destroyed on the 9th of Av.
  • Many tragedies throughout Jewish history, from exiles to persecutions, have taken place during these exact dates.

This is a time when we remember, but also a time when we watch and stand in intercession for God’s redemptive purposes.


A Prophetic Season of Consecration

The Lord is inviting us as watchmen, intercessors, lovers of Israel, to step into these days with intentional fasting and prayer. As we stand at a tipping point in the Middle East with rumors of war, shifting alliances, and the stirring of prophetic promises, we must align our hearts with the Lord’s heart for His land and His people.

This is also a time of possible expansion of the Abraham Accords, and we sense the Lord brooding over the nations. The pressure in the natural realm is mirroring a deep travail in the spirit.

 

A Call to the Daniel Fast | July 13th – August 3rd

In response, we invite you to join us for a 3-week Daniel Fast, beginning on July 13th and ending on August 3rd. This is a time to:

  • Mourn with those who mourn in Zion, but not without hope
  • Stand in the gap for Israel’s destiny and protection
  • Contend for a breakthrough across the Middle East
  • Pray for alignment with God’s heart and purposes in this hour

Like Daniel, we set our faces toward Jerusalem. We humble ourselves in fasting and prayer, crying out for mercy, restoration, and the release of God’s end-time purposes.

“Those who mourn in Zion… to give them beauty for ashes.” — Isaiah 61:3


Let Us Watch Together

Let us go through this narrow place together, with eyes fixed on the Lord. May this time of mourning become a well of oil. May the tears of intercession prepare the way for revival. And may Jerusalem receive her King with joy.
