Our Father and Creator, our 'Elohim', awaits a UNITED prayer, from One New Man!
It only makes sense that The Joint Priesthood of Jew and Gentile has become necessary to generate and maximize the 'Power of Prayer' ... 'For Such a Time as This' !
JEW & GENTILE
Throughout their lives, diverse values (such as amity with non-Jewish relatives) may influence Gentiles to avoid certain Jewish activities. Sometimes this is the priority, all the more so since Gentiles are not Jews. They will have different obligations than Jews, not necessarily lesser ones.[68] I internalize the value of difference and therefore refrain from some Jewish practices even though they are personally gratifying, for the sake of furthering the vision of mutual blessing.
When they work well, religious congregations function as communities of obligation, not as spaces for individual gratification. Communities of obligation pose expectations to which individuals voluntarily submit, and which over time become such a part of individuals’ identities that they are, in a sense, binding.[69]
If Gentile believers in Yeshua are clear about their position before God, their relationship to Judaism, the Jewish people, and all their communities of obligation, they will weigh their choices well, making decisions that please and glorify God.
Conclusion
Gentile believers are joined to Israel through Yeshua. The Jewish people rightly express their covenantal relationship to God in part through behavior that distinguishes them from Gentiles. However, the Tanakh and New Testament envision the mutual blessing, and prayer together, of Jews and Gentiles who remain different. Therefore, Gentile believers need to hold in balance the contrasting values of unity and separation with regard to Jews, both Yeshua-believers and non-Yeshua-believers.
How a Gentile might pray as a Jew can be stated in general, but not in detail, as individual preferences matter, and rightly so. Gentile believers can address God with great freedom, and love him with their whole hearts, within the framework of identification with, yet distinction from, the people of Israel.
