Prosperity and Prayer Psalm 122:6

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you.7 Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces."




Here we find one of many promises found in the Word of God. God has a special place in His heart for nation of Israel. Here David writes that those who pray for peace in Jerusalem will receive special blessings from God. Look at what David writes.

May those who pray for Israel's peace prosper. As Jerusalem prospers, so will those who pray for her prosper. As there is peace with in her walls, so shall there be peace in the lives of those who pray for her peace. God wants us to share in the benefits of His goodness. God wants to bless us all. He wants to give us His abundant blessings. He is able to bless us as we choose to walk where He would have us walk. He wants to bless us as we seek to be part of those things that He is partial to. As God blesses Israel, He will bless those who pray for her blessing.

One thing is clear in the Bible. When we pray for peace in Israel, we will be blessed. As a nation stands with Israel, that nation will be blessed.Pray for Israel. Lift up this special nation and pray that the peace of God will reign and rule in that region of the world.

There is a very close parallel in the Bible with Israel and the New Testament church. Just as God called Israel to be a special people, so has Jesus called the church out from the world to be a peculiar people. As we pray for the church and look to the Holy Spirit to lead the church and bless it, so will the Holy Spirit bless us. As the church is blessed, so will we be blessed. As the church grows, so will we grow. As the church prospers, so will we prosper.

Remember to pray for your pastor today. Pray for your church's services on Sunday. Remember the church as a whole and the services that will be conducted all over the world. Pray that the Holy Spirit will find liberty in the hearts and lives of individuals in all walks of life and in every country on the face of the earth. Pray that the God of creation will be glorified and His strong and mighty hand will be felt and all the world will know that the God of Israel, the God of the Bible, He is indeed God!
