Yom Teruah begins ten days between it and the soon-coming most holy day of the year, Yom Kippur. Traditionally, these ten days are called the "Ten Days of Awe." They are a special time in which brothers are supposed to especially seek to make peace with brothers- because the "judgment" associated with Yom Kippur is coming.
This principle teaches us that in truth, to the greatest extent possible we want to make peace with all men before we stand before our King, Messiah Yeshua. We want to hear the Prince of Peace say to us, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
To help us prepare our hearts during this time, we are posting ahead of time some suggested prayer points for each of these ten days.
Like our forefathers in Egypt, if we truly want deliverance from that which binds us we must first "cry out." He will then hear our groaning and remember that we are His covenant people (Exo 2:23-24; 1 Pet 2:9-10). Without faith it is impossible to please Him, so we must pray with faith, believing that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Heb 11:6). At this time we especially need to cry out in prayer for the changes that we desire.
In my feast book we offer ten suggested prayers (along with the verse references from which the ideas were taken). There is one section for each of the Ten Days of Awe (see chapter 29, "Ten Days of Prayer"). These prayers especially focus on Israel's restoration and reunion.
A similar, less extensive list is likewise available in the now out of print book, E&J, IR; although out of print this handy book is available in a PDF format (see "Prayer Points" pages 34-37). You may download a free copy at Key of David Marketplace.
Finally, we want to suggest that you listen to a new song, written by me and recorded by my friend, Will Spires. The song is titled "I AM YHVH" and it is truly inspiring. You might want to listen to it before you pray. The song is about the Father's heart cry for His chosen people: Judah and Ephraim. You can hear it at
Zachariah's Patrol website or Key of David Marketplace, and it is available at as a free download at Key of David Marketplace.
Prayer Points for Day 4:
Pray that the sheep would
be delivered from wicked shepherds who muddy the waters and feed
them-selves rather than the flock. Pray that the sheep be snatched out
of the hands of shepherds who divide Israel's flock. Pray that all
wolves in sheep's clothing and all false prophets be exposed for who
they are in truth (Deu 13:1-5; Ezek 34; Jer 23:1-3; Mat 7:15). Pray that
the spirit of Jezebel be rooted out from among us, that we would not
lie are try to steal the field of others, and that Israel's prophets
would not fear her. Pray that the spirit of Elijah might instead be
fully released in our day. Pray that the hearts of the fathers might be
turned to their children and the hearts of the children to their
fathers. Pray for godly families to be raised up in both the houses of
Israel (1 Ki 21: Hos 1:4-5; 2:22; Rev 2:20-22; Mal 4:5-6).

I Am YHVH
We encourage you to listen to a new song, written by Batya and
recorded by our friend, Will Spires. The song is titled "I AM YHVH"
and it is truly inspiring. You might want to listen to it before you
pray. The song is about the Father's heart cry for His chosen people:
Judah and Ephraim. You can hear it as you enter the Zachariah's Patrol website or Key of David Marketplace, and it can be downloaded for free at Key of David Marketplace. Several people have asked for the song on a cd so they can play it in their cars. So we have made available at Key of David Marketplace. a CD that has seven renditions of the song for $4 (to cover shipping and handling costs).
