'I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord , the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. '

(Psalms 121:1-4)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

Father God!

Since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 1,300 people have been reported dead in Israel, including 29 Americans killed and more than 199 taken hostage. Hamas' health ministry in Gaza said an additional 2,450 people had died. The Jerusalem Post reported, based on photos of confirmed corpses, that babies were burned or decapitated in Hamas's attack on Kfar Aza. The Prime Minister's Office of Public Diplomacy showed this report to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was visiting Israel. In a written document, Hamas instructed to "maximize the loss of life and capture hostages" and targeted the Alumim settlement, including elementary schools and youth centers.

Heavenly Father, Psalm 140 proclaims David's prayer and prayers for Israel.

1. Deliver me, O LORD, from the wicked; preserve me from the violent. 2. They devise evil in their hearts and come together daily to fight. 3. They sharpen their tongue like a serpent; the venom of a viper is under their lips. (Selah) 4. Preserve me, O LORD, from the hand of the wicked; preserve me from the wicked, who try to push me away. 5. The proud man has spread his snares and ropes for me; he has spread his nets and traps by the wayside. (Selah) 6. I said to the LORD, Thou art my God; give ear, O LORD, to the voice of my supplication. 7. Sovereign LORD, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle. 8. O LORD, do not grant the wish of the wicked; do not let his wicked devices come to fruition, lest they exalt themselves. (Selah) 9. When those who surround me lift up their heads, let the misfortune of their lips cover them. 10. Let hot coals of fire fall on them, and let them fall into the midst of the fire and into the deep pit, and let them not rise again. 11. Those who speak evil will not be able to stand firm in the world, and disaster will follow those who are violent and destroy them. 12. For I know that the LORD will defend the afflicted and give justice to the needy 13. Truly the righteous will give thanks to your name, and the upright will live before you.

We entrust Israel's war against Hamas to God the Father, Jehovah Almighty, and pray that the war belongs to Jehovah. May the current soldiers and reserve forces fighting the war more than anyone else become God's new threshing machine, trusting in God and praying, and become God's instruments of victory. 'Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord , your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. ' (Isaiah 41:14-15) According to these words, please let the Israeli soldiers on the battlefield not be afraid and rely only on God to help them. Please use the Israeli soldiers as a new threshing machine and hold on to them so that they can become warriors who attack entirely, crush, and send away their enemies. Please protect their lives from danger.

Father God!

We pray for the Korean missionaries and families remaining in Israel. After pilgrims and visitors to Israel returned safely last week on a Republic of Korea Air Force-flagged plane, missionaries remaining on site are helping and comforting those suffering from the war with no plans to return home. While the siren from the bombing continues around the house, they remain on site and share food with the soldiers. As Koreans who believe in Yeshua, we visit the places where residents living near Gaza became refugees due to Hamas attacks and serve with a heart of comfort. Please keep the Korean churches, pastors, and ministers in Israel safe and healthy on their way to and from the ministry of service and comfort. Let us visit in the name of Yeshua and allow only the life of the gospel of Yeshua’s love to flow in and be passed on through service on behalf of the comfort and love of the Lord.

“Heavenly Father, we thank you for calling all of us, Gentiles, as intercessors and servants of God’s great and precious work. We pray with the mission of a watchman on the perfect wall. Give us peace in Jerusalem, Lord God, establish Jerusalem and be praised. May the Jews and all the tribes of Israel scattered throughout the nations who must return to their homeland return to the Promised Land. Please work so Aliyah can be fulfilled even among the believing Jews by changing the law of return. Give us the power to fully fulfill the precious mission of praying and serving each of us until the word of God is fulfilled. May I always live a life of faith filled with the Holy Spirit. Please take care of our health.”

In the name of Yeshua Messiah, I (we) pray for Israel.

'May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us— so that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples with equity and guide the nations of the earth. '

(Psalms 67:1-4)

Father God, I (we) pray for the nation.

Father God!

Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu has been under oppression by authorities since its senior pastor, Pastor Wang Yi, arrested more than 100 members about four years ago. Guangzhou Huajing Church, facing difficulties due to the incident on August 19th when the Chinese Communist Party completely banned meetings of Huajing Church, prays to God to help it pass this ‘test.’ He also asked us to pray together for help. “Huajing Church has been experiencing increasingly intense persecution since Pastor Cao Wen founded the church in 2000. Chinese authorities closed the church building in 2015 and even after the church moved to another building in 2019. Then, on August 19th, the Communist Party not only completely banned this church's gatherings but also threatened the church's pastors, interrogated the members, searched and seized the members' homes, and installed CCTV in front of the members' doors.” He asked for prayers for Huajing Church.

Heavenly Father, this is a united prayer following the content in the weekly prayer newsletter of Early Rain Covenant Church last month, asking for your prayers and informing you of how to pray for Huajing Church. Please hear our united prayer. “Lord, please give strength to Pastor Caowen and all the ministers the Lord has called to serve the sheep. Please help them realize that this is a trial permitted by the Lord. The scope, method, and degree of this persecution have all been determined by the Lord. According to the sovereignty of the Most Good Lord, open the way for your loyal people going through difficult times. Please grant heavenly wisdom to all brothers and sisters of Huajing Church to discern all the lies of the devil. Even if the devil creates an atmosphere of fear, help the saints to stand firm in the Lord and not be swayed by rumors or deceived by lies. Please help the believers trust one another in faith, tolerate one another in love, and maintain the church's unity. Please help Huajing Church pass this ‘test’, become more mature, fight for the Lord, and win with the Lord!”

Heavenly Father, “No matter how often they drive out preachers, your church will always stand strong. The church will no longer be driven out because it is deeply rooted in China. The church may be persecuted and its preachers may be driven out, but the head of the church is in heaven, and the church has demonstrated the power of resurrection for thousands of years. We pray in the name of Yeshua that the Lord will continue to use persecution to enable the church in China to grow and harvest a thousandfold. ”

Heavenly Father, although China's church leaders and believers are under the Chinese Communist Party's new strengthening and threatening religious guidelines, ‘And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’ (John 8:32). According to these words, enjoy freedom through the word of the Lord. “Peace I leave with you; The peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor do you fear.” (John 14:27) May the Holy Spirit comfort you and give you peace so that you may live in the stability of the Lord through your words. May the Lord rule over China's Xi Jinping regime, which persecutes Christianity and closes churches. Additionally, China's Xi Jinping Communist Party is trying to corrupt God's infallible Word by even saying that it is rewriting the Bible to fit the Chinese Communist system. Please remember their wickedness and rule over them with Your Majesty. Please protect the house churches in China, comfort the believers with the Holy Spirit, and give them the boldness to keep the faith and win. Please help and protect Chinese believers so they can gather freely, thoroughly learn the Word of God, and worship.

We (I) prayed for the nations in the name of Yeshua Messiah. Amen. 

'I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. '

(1 Timothy 2:1-2)

Father God, I (we) pray for the US.

Father God!

Currently, 23 states in the United States have laws protecting children from gender reassignment procedures (GTP) and protecting parental rights. States like Nebraska, Kentucky, and Tennessee have safety laws that either ban GTP for minors outright or relax certain aspects. For example, Nebraska has a law called “Protecting Minors from Experimental Drugs.” “The enormous pressure placed on children to lead them to experimental, life-changing drugs and surgeries is inherently ideologically driven,” said Dr. Michael Artigues, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. This results from progressive politicians' social influence on adolescent children through schools and counseling, leading to the injection of puberty blockers and sex reassignment hormones, further highlighting and encouraging gender issues among minors in society.

Heavenly Father, we thank you that many states and faithful doctors are still protecting children from underage gender reassignment procedures and protecting the rights of parents. However, more than half of U.S. states continue to practice gender reassignment of minors. After the Word and Prayer were banned from the American curriculum, churches and parents repented for their ignorance about the education of homosexuality and sexual perversion that replaced the Word of God. Now, please help the school curriculum and teachers who lead our children into sin through the education of an evil and rebellious generation like Sodom and Gomorrah realize their mistakes and bring about repentance in the educational world. “How can a young man keep his way pure? He only keeps your word” (Psalm 119:9) Please give parents in families of faith the wisdom to properly teach and raise their children with the Word of God and raise the knees of prayer for their children and the next generation. Please help us bring about a change so that the words of the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer are included again in school education.

Father God!

There is controversy over Iran being behind Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which launched a large-scale surprise attack on Israel, killing countless civilians and starting a war. Among these, the Biden administration plans to visit the Middle East this week, visiting Israel, Egypt, and several other countries. President Joe Biden, “Hamas should be liquidated, but we need Palestinian authority. We need a path to a Palestinian state,” he said, adding that he supports the two-state plan. Additionally, since his inauguration, Biden has helped unfreeze at least $10 billion worth of Iranian assets and helped unlock about $80 billion in oil profits. He lifted more than $6 billion in sanctions and allowed Iran to receive an additional $6 billion in cash. (Fox News 10/16)

Heavenly Father, President Biden's wrong policy toward Iran is to lift the sanctions on funds, which is linked to Iran's funding of terrorists. Please help President Biden realize this war and establish the right Middle East policy. Also, the foolishness of dividing the land of Israel into two states is '“In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. ' (Joel 3:1-2) Please help us realize that these words are causing war in the future. The previous U.S. President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, and announced that the Golan Heights are Israeli land. America continues to help and pray for Israel. “Comfort ye, comfort my people, saith your God” (Isaiah 40:1) Please help us comfort those who have suffered war and invasion like these words, and let America become a country that provides proper help to Israel, the branch of the olive tree, starting at the government level. Please pray that all American churches will correctly know and realize Israel as written in God's Word and that God's Word about Israel will come true. In particular, please work to enlighten and help Jews in the United States make aliyah.

Father God!

We pray for the 2024 US presidential election. 

Please help us rise as more faithful intercessors for next year's elections in 2024 and help America return to its holy path. To this end, please prevent all election fraud so we can appoint leaders God approves. Please support American churches and believers and pray for next year's election with the belief that next year's election may be the last opportunity for America to recover. Please help America use its good influence to support Israel and bring more harvests to the nations. Please help America stand upright before the Lord and become a nation serving God and influencing other countries extensively. Also, pray for our children, the Samuel generation, to stand as servants of the Lord and turn this land away from evil deeds. '“I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. ' (Ezekiel 22:30) Like these words, please let more churches and intercessors rise to protect this land by blocking the collapsed walls. May righteousness and justice be achieved in all past and upcoming elections, truthful and accurate gratitude be achieved, and may the church and intercessors pray without ceasing.

We (I) prayed for America in the name of Yeshua, Messiah. Amen. 

'Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord ; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. '

(Psalms 95:1-3)

Father God, I (we) pray for South Korea.

Father God!

On the 8th, the United Nations Security Council convened an informal meeting to discuss emergency response to the heightened tensions in the Gaza Strip triggered by attacks on Israel by the Palestinian armed political faction Hamas and discussed pending issues in the Middle East. South Korea participated in informal discussions as an observer before its advancement to the Security Council as a non-permanent member next year.

Heavenly Father, thank you for blessing Korea, which was devastated and poor after the Korean War, and for making it a country that can grow and influence the world today. The people of the Republic of Korea realized and knew that God heard and blessed the founding ideology and purpose prayed for at the Constitutional Amendment Assembly when the Republic of Korea was founded. “Blessed is the man whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God” (Psalm 146:5). According to these words, please help us become a people who rely only on Jehovah God, the God of Jacob, for help and hope. Please help us become a people who worship God before God, the Creator and ruler of all things in the universe.

Father God!

The Joint Chiefs of Staff believes Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that attacked Israel, is directly or indirectly linked to North Korea in various areas, including arms trade, tactical doctrine, and training. Regarding the arms trade between North Korea and Hamas, it said, "Recently, a 122mm North Korean rocket launcher believed to be used by Hamas-related militants was found in a border area near Israel." A high-ranking official of the Joint Chiefs of Staff also said that Hamas' attacks, such as surprise attacks early on holidays and massive rocket launches, are similar to North Korea's "asymmetric attack pattern," adding, "North Korea may use Hamas's attack method for surprise attacks on the South."

God, Father, please govern North Korea's evil ways of connecting with countries doing evil in this world, helping to dig and sell weapons to defeat Israel. Please give us a day of liberation when the Kim Jong-un regime, which ignores the human rights of North Koreans suffering and being abused in North Korea, is broken and the Sampal Line is held. Let the two Koreas unite through the unification of the gospel, not war, and become a country that serves God. Please listen to the tears of the North Korean saints and let the day of worship for the Lord go to your heart. Let the gospel be unified and give the day when the churches collapsed in North Korea are built and worship is revived. "Those who know their God will be strong and brave" (Daniel 11:32b). Let the people of the Republic of Korea be strong people who know God as they say. Unified by the gospel and become a Christian unified nation, missionary Korea, and let the Korean church wake up the world's heat and prepare and greet the Lord's path for churches and saints to come back with the fullness of the Holy Spirit.  Let us be a nation that reveals the glory of God!

In the name of Yeshua Messiah, I (we) prayed for South Korea. Amen.
