Jack Hayford - Church on the Way

“To pray for the peace of Jerusalem is to pray, ‘Lord, let your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth, not only in the ultimate revelation of His King coming from Heaven, but in the present revelation of God's peace as it comes into our hearts in a troubled world, to bring to the heartbeat center of the world, something of a peace that alleviates the tensions, the hatred, the bombings, the torments.”

Ravi Zacharias - Ravi Zacharias Ministries International
"This is the only means that will ultimately change hearts in this troubled part of the world."

Thomas E. Trask - Assemblies of God
"The Assemblies of God is recognized as a Movement grounded in prayer. For there to be peace in Jerusalem, God must intervene - prayer can move the hand of God."

John Paul Jackson - Streams Ministry International
"We would do well to heed and believe with the apostle Paul when he penned, “If their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring.” We must pray for the peace of Jerusalem, that their fullness might be fulfilled."

Kay Arthur - Precept Ministries
"God’s mandate is recorded for us in the book of Isaiah. We are to give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem, His earthly Zion, as a praise in all the earth. The mandates of God are to be obeyed. How then can we excuse ourselves?"

Gary Bergel - Intercessors for America
"Jerusalem occupies an exclusive place in the unfolding redemptive purposes of God in the earth. The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem plays a unique role in uniting Christians around the world to lift up in prayer the "city of the Great King" (Mt. 5:35) in fulfilling her destiny in the plans of God. May we intercede together for His appointed harvest from Jerusalem, Israel, and the whole Middle East."

Dr. McKenzie “Mac” Pier, President - Concerts of Prayer Greater New York
“For the last three thousand years Jerusalem has been the religious capital of the world. When you read the new and old testament you understand that Jerusalem has a unique place in human history. We bear an important responsibility in the body of Christ to pray in agreement for the health and future for Jerusalem and to ask that God’s purposes would be fulfilled in our generation for all that God has purposed for this great city.”

Robert Bakke - Global Day of Prayer
“With the fearful and seemingly intractable dangers facing our generation and Israel, it is incumbent upon all Christians to plead with God for the outpouring of his mercy and for the establishment of a joyous and persistent ‘Shalom’ throughout all the land of the Bible. May the Lord answer our prayers. May the seed of Abraham know God and the grace and power of his hand.”

Kenneth Copeland - Kenneth Copeland Ministries
"I cannot improve upon the 122nd Psalm in Verses 8 and 9. For my brethren and companions sake, I will now say Peace be within you! For the sake of the House of the Lord our God I will seek and require your good, oh Jerusalem. I will pray with all my heart for your peace."

 Dr. Dick Eastman - Every Home for Christ
"The call to prayer for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6-8) is one of the great appeals for prayer with promises, in all the Bible. To pray daily as such demonstrates our love for God’s chosen people and with that, according to verse six, comes “security” (NIV) and prosperity (NLT). Personally I consider my daily time of prayer incomplete if I haven’t specifically prayed for the peace of Jerusalem."

Jane Hansen - Aglow International
"Never has it been as critical as it is now that we stand in the gap for the nation of Israel and its people. The biblical mandate to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” must take on greater priority in our lives as we watch the intensity of warfare increase, both in the natural and spiritual realms, over God’s end-time purposes for His people – Israel and the body of Christ."

James M. Hutchens - The Jerusalem Connection International
"As we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, we are also responding to the mandate, “to comfort, yes comfort my people, says the Lord. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem.” (Isa. 40:1-2) In keeping this commitment to pray we are “showing mercy because of the mercy we have received in Christ. (Rom. 11:30-31)"

Paul Johansson - ELIM Bible Institute
"Because Jerusalem is a city of Nations, peace in that place is peace for all."

Phil Miglioratti - National Pastors Prayer Network
"Many of us have ignored God’s call to pray for this globally strategic city. May this Day of Prayer be God’s way of focusing our attention for a Christ awakening in all sectors of Jerusalem."

Chuck Pierce - Glory of Zion Ministries Int’l
"When we bless God’s covenant we receive the blessing of the covenant." 
 

Dutch Sheets - Dutch Sheets Ministries
"God is sovereignly aligning many nations and individuals with His redemptive purposes concerning Israel. Do not miss your opportunity to bless them and receive the promised blessing in return."

 
Barbara Yoder - Shekinah Christian Church
"We have a biblical mandate in Psalm 122: 6-9 to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Our prosperity is linked to ones heart for Jerusalem. We must pray for and love Jerusalem, seek its good if we are to prosper. I fully support this national effort to pray for the peace of Jerusalem."

Jill Austin - Master Potter Ministries

"Praying for the peace of Jerusalem is a Biblical mandate from the Lord Himself. It is His heartbeat for His people. This intense, strategic battle between the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of God will only be won on our knees when we, the Body of Christ, unite in agreement and...give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her a praise in the earth. Isa. 62:7 (Amplified). Because I am a German Jew, this call is a top priority of mine!"

Matt Sorger - Matt Sorger Ministries

"God is sending an awakening to Israel on many levels in this hour. The Church must take a Scriptural stand to pray in God's end-time purposes for Israel and the nations. When we bless Israel, we can't help but be blessed in return!" 

Morris Cerullo - Morris Cerullo World Evangelism
"Our hearts cry for Jerusalem, which runs more deeply in our soul than can be expressed in words, is like unto that of Nehemiah, who when he heard of her afflictions sat down and wept and mourned for days. Prayer for the peace of Jerusalem is nothing more than prayer for God's Kingdom to be done on earth as it is in heaven."

 Lou Engle - The Call

"It is important for the body of Christ to pray because, first of all, it is commanded that we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Secondly it is the capitol of Christ on the earth; when he returns, that will be his throne. Therefore, all the demonic powers are there focusing and raging against this and it’s going to take millions of intercessors to break through the demonic powers that are trying to keep it from happening. The Church must rise and fulfill Jesus’ great prayer burden. "

Paula White - Paula White Ministries

"As Christians, following the Word of God has given us in the Bible, we have the responsibility to pray for Jerusalem, as mandated in Psalm 122. We are connected to Jews, to Jerusalem and Israel, through the blood sacrifice of Jesus, which grafted us into the lineage of David, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. As we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, we continue to believe for God's sovereign hand of protection on our nation."

Ron Kenoly - Ron Kenoly Ministries
“Not only does the Bible say that we should pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but we should also as believers, remember that Jerusalem is the place, the city, that God has chosen to establish His name. Israel is the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, so it is testimony to the world that God is One who is faithful to His promises. I think as we grab a hold of that fulfillment of promise, our faith increases and we are able to establish ourselves more and more in the word of God.”
