Bridal Fast - Day 7 (Feb. 24)

It has been a busy day. I miss the prayer house.

I have a Jewish calender. The coming Sunday February 28 is Purim and it calls people to pray for the children and youth in Israel, that they will receive the spirit of adoption from our Heavenly Father (Rom. 8:15), as Esther did from Mordechai (Esther 2:7).

Purim feast is this coming Sunday (February 28) is the Feast of Purim. Jerusalem, being a 'walled city' celebrates on "Shushan" Purim, the following day. Chronicled in the Book of Esther it relates the story of a time in Persia when the Jews came under an anti-Semitic plot to annihilate them, but Mordecai and Esther were used to bring deliverance. Afterwards an annual celebration was established on "the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar, the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, the month which was turned from sorrow to joy for them, and from mourning to a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, of sending presents to one another and gifts to the poor" (Esther 9:21-22). Yet before the time of partying, comes a time of fasting (Esther 9:31). (Prayer Storm by James Goll)

It is time to pray for Israel. Please pray for Israel.

Please pray His guidance to me and revelation of His heart for Israel to His church.
