Water Jerusalem: Young People in Jerusalem

Psalm 46:4

"A river brings joy to the city of our God, the sacred home of the Most High."

Jesus is that water.

He stood up in the Temple and said, if anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink, for he who drinks, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water. Water is simple. Everyone needs it to live. Jesus is that water of salvation. Whoever drinks of Him survives.

That city is Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is a city of destiny for God. It is where Abraham offers up Isaac in the obedience of faith. David establishes the Kingdom of Israel here and dances in these streets. Solomon erects a Temple according not to human choice or design, but according to His specific instructions to create a "copy and shadow" of what is in heaven (Hebrews 8:5). The Son of God is murdered here publicly and then raised from the dead through the same power of the Holy Spirit who now is working in us. (Romans 8:11). The first revival takes place here when that same Person of God, the Holy Spirit, falls as a tongue of fire on everyone in a room in this city. This is where the church is born and where the first martyr, Stephen, dies. This is also where many of the rest of the prophecies of God will be fulfilled, according to Scripture. Zechariah 2:8 says whoever touches Jerusalem "touches the apple of His eye."

Jesus brings the water of salvation to Jerusalem.

Young People in Jerusalem

Jeremiah 10:18-20

For thus says the Lord:

....My children have gone from me, and they are no more.

As many have heard, eight students, most of them 15 or 16-year-olds, were killed by a man who fired hundreds of rounds at young people who were studying scripture.

Kids jumped out of windows to escape, and it was reported that there were Bibles everywhere on the floor covered with blood.

These are the children of Israel. They need a Savior. Please pray for salvation here in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is a unique city. We believe we are unique in Jerusalem because we are focusing directly on young people and salvation followed by leader discipleship. We understand the Lord's goal to be massive here and motivated by passion.

Please pray for the salvation that flowed through the veins of the Son of God to cover this city like a river of spiritual life.

If you would like to pray and increase the effectiveness of a ministry based on the Holy Spirit to young people in Jerusalem, please email waterjerusalem@gmail.com.
