Pray with us for the nation of Israel! At the ICEJ we believe prayer is the engine of our ministry and should touch every part of what we are doing in Israel and around the world! We want you, our partners, to engage with us in prayer via our multiple different prayer initiatives throughout the month and make the maximum impact in praying for God’s land and His people in these trying times.
There are many opportunities to be part of the ICEJ family in prayer.
On the the 7th of October 2023, Israel was brutally attacked by the terrorist group Hamas which continues on to this day still. Israels President, Isaac Herzog is referring to the 2023 Simchat Torah Attack as the worst day in Jewish history since the Holocaust.
Israel desperately needs our prayers. This is a spiritual battle, so rise up prayer warriors! The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is awaiting the cries of heartfelt prayers.
As a response to this, ICEJ is now conducting an ongoing 24/7 prayer watch for Israel.
We currently have two Australian weekly prayer watch time slots you are invited to join: Join us on Zoom (AEST) Tuesdays 12-1pm, and Wednesdays 5-6am.
Alternatively you can join the daily prayer meeting where over 1,400 people gather with ICEJ Jerusalem leadership & other global ministry leaders at 11pm AEST (4pm Israel time), for a powerful time of prayer.

Rosh Chodesh, or the festival of the new moon, is the beginning of the new Biblical month when the new moon appears. It was given to the Jewish people at Mt Sinai, where special sacrifices were to be offered to mark the beginning of the new month (Numbers 28: 11-15). It also became a time when the Israelites would consult the Hebrew prophets (2 Kings 4:23). In addition, this joyous day featured the blast of a trumpet blown on the pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem to announce the arrival of the new month.
In a similar manner, ICEJ will be ‘blowing the trumpet’ from Jerusalem to call for a special time of prayer and seeking the Lord each week. Keep watch on this page for updated meeting times & our Zoom links above!
ISAIAH 62 is a unique passage in the scriptures because it calls upon the people of God to give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem as “a praise in the earth” (Isaiah 62:6-7).
Like Watchman on the walls of Jerusalem the people of God are to stand watch on behalf of Israel. This essentially means embracing regular prayer and intercession for Israel, for blessing, for protection against those that seek to harm her and for her redemption.
This call to prayer also means praying for the Arab nations in the region that they too would be blessed and delivered from the chaos that presently besets the region. The scripture commands us…
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” ~Psalm 122:6
You may join Jerusalem each Thursday 4pm Israel time, as the leadership, respected Christian pastors and ministry leaders from Israel and worldwide are brought together for a time of prayer and worship. You can also download the monthly prayer points for your own prayer or for use in an Isaiah 62 group. Contact the office if you are interested in forming an Isaiah 62 prayer group.
To support Israel doesn’t mean supporting everything their government does. So, what does it actually mean? Explore what it really means here…
Israel and the church have a mixed and at times saddening history. Many churches unfortunately teach a ‘Replacement Theology’ doctrine. Teri Kempe discusses the dangers of this, and a way forward for Australian churches.
In many ways, Israel has stood alone as a nation for thousands of years. The recent ruling by the International Court of Justice has outrageously declared Israel to be guilty of genocide. ICEJ stand against this ruling, and we stand with Israel.
The term “Zionism” has been turned into a negative word by Israel’s enemies, “Christian Zionism” is also under attack and often misrepresented in the media and in much public discourse.
Why should Christians support Israel? Here are 10 reasons why the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was established in 1980 to stand with and comfort Israel.
Are we in the days the early Apostles longed to see, when God would restore the kingdom to Israel? And how should the Church relate to this new situation?
One of the sad outcomes of history is that antisemitism has not just survived in the post-Holocaust era, it has thrived. One would have thought that when the depravities of the Nazi genocide against the Jews of Europe were exposed after World War II, such vile hatred would have disappeared. Alas, it has come back in waves and without any shame.
In Joseph’s two dreams, his brothers and parents bow down to him (Gen 37). Years later, these come true when Joseph is elevated to Prince of Egypt, and his brothers come to buy wheat from him during a famine. The outworking of these dreams, a protype of the suffering Messiah, also illustrates the calling and destiny of God’s chosen people.

In the walls surrounding the Old City of Jerusalem there is even a gate called the Lion Gate, although the ‘lions’ carved beside the gateways are really panthers! They were the symbols of the Mamelukes who ruled in that part of the world from 1260 – 1517.
