Prayer-Walk Israel
NHOP announces a prayer-walk across Israel, calling believers to walk the land in prayer and trust God to remove every obstacle to His purposes.
What happened
The National House of Prayer announces an assignment to prayer-walk across Israel, opening with Isaiah 62:10's call to pass through the gates, prepare the way, remove the stones, and raise a banner for the nations. NHOP describes a growing sense among Christian leaders that God is accelerating His purposes and removing the obstacles that have blocked His will, raising up believers to pray for such a time as this. The author recounts waiting years for the right timing, then scouting the land and meeting with ministry leaders in Israel, who he reports gave their agreement and blessing for the prayer assignment.
Original reporting
Why it matters
Prayer-walking treats the land itself as a place of intercession, taking seriously the biblical call to prepare the way and remove every obstacle to God's purposes. When believers sense that God is moving, the fitting response is not passive waiting but aligned, persistent prayer. This assignment invites the Church to join in asking God to clear the path for His will in Israel and among the nations, and to raise up faithful intercessors for such a time as this.
Scripture
Joshua 1:3
God tells Joshua that every place the sole of his foot would tread He had given to him, just as He promised Moses. The verse grounds the practice of prayer-walking the land in God's prior promise, framing each step as an act of faith in what God has already pledged.
Ways to pray
- Pray for those who prayer-walk the land of Israel, that God would guide, protect, and sustain them as they intercede.
- Pray that God would remove every obstacle, the 'stones' that block His will, and prepare the way for His purposes in Israel and the nations.
- Pray for believers to sense God's timing and to rise up in persistent, aligned prayer for such a time as this.
- Pray for unity and blessing among ministry leaders in Israel and for wisdom as they discern how to labour together in prayer.
A short prayer
Lord, as Your people set their feet on the land You promised, we ask You to go before them. Remove every obstacle to Your will, raise up faithful intercessors for such a time as this, and let Your purposes stand in Israel and among the nations. Amen.
Prayer becomes more faithful when it stays connected to real people and real events.
