9th Hour Prayer Initiative
Praying Daily at 3:00 pm for the Salvation, Strength, Security of Israel
and Global Harvest
"Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest?' Behold, I say to you,
'lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest,'" John 4:35.
God speaking to Noah: “And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants after you."

Call to Action for Israel: Pray daily at 3pm for the salvation, strength and security of Israel. Israel is God's historic center-piece for the unfolding of His end-time purposes. Tensions are on the rise in the Middle East as are overt attacks on Israel. Though threats loom, this is not the time for escalation, but rather for salvation. Why? Isaiah 60:10 says, "The sons of foreigners shall build up your walls!" It is an hour when God is calling forth the spiritual walls of Jerusalem to rise up! We are in a significant window of time to build intentionality and focus towards ongoing strategic prayer for Israel.
How do we respond? While preparing for a journey to Israel recently, the Lord spoke through a vision of a dark place in which a narrow doorway opened. Sensing the Lord say, "The gate is narrow, enter by it," we believe we are in a "narrow window" of time and opportunity to pray more intentionally for the salvation, strength, and security of Israel, and the harvest globally. This is a time of preparation to build and strengthen for the times ahead. |

Prayer during the 9th hour, 3pm, is highly strategic scripturally and the signs are pointing to this important intervention now. The 9th hour is 3pm, or the 9th hour after sunrise in Hebraic tradition. For explanation click here. The 9th hour is significant scripturally:
- Salvation: It was the hour when Jesus died and the veil was rent in the temple. Mt 27:51.
- Healing: It was the hour when Peter and John performed the first healing after Pentecost. Acts 3:1-10.
- Kingdom advance: It was the hour the angel appeared to Cornelius and said, "Your prayer has been heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of God," Acts 10:31.
9th Hour Initiative Focus: Salvation, Strength and Security of Israel
About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him,
“Cornelius!” And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?”
So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.
Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter." Acts 10:3-5

There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” Mt. 13:47-50
