Bible Answer: Hello Mommapbs, I feel that based on history, as well as, Rev 12, Jews are a high priority target of Satan. Just as we pray specific prayers for those that have rule over us, or for the sick, we should also pray specific prayers for the people (woman of Rev 12) that brought forth our Savior. Isn't salvation of the Jews (John 4:22) and the gospel to the Jew first (Acts 1:8; Rom 1:16)? Praying general prayers for world peace is good, but more specific prayers can bring more specific results. James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Brother Glenn |
