Shalom friends,

The following thoughts on corporate intercession are my own and while they obviously impact my position as director of Intercessors for Israel [IFI] the rest of the leadership team may not agree with all that follows.

I have been involved with Intercessors for Israel almost from the beginning of my time in Israel in 1989. Yet even before that God guided me to lead prayer meetings and teach on intercession. I have had the privilege of being mentored by, and sitting under the teachings of, many of the great modern-day prayer warriors – most of whom are now in glory – and have learned from them and from experience what corporate intercession can look like to be very effective in seeing His kingdom come on earth. May you be challenged by what follows, and be open to hear our Good Shepherd's voice if He is speaking to you.

Those in the Church who reject the recognition of, and respect that the New Testament gives the Tanach (the Old Testament), usually end up with unbiblical views on many doctrines which lead to an unbiblical understanding of important current events. Obviously, much of this is in relation to the Church's view of the place of Israel in God's current plans – and much of that comes from a misunderstanding of God's essential nature which, as this teaching has previously pointed out, has its foundational revelation in the Hebrew Scriptures.
