'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!

After Hamas' terrorist attack that began on October 7, Israeli troops entered the Gaza Strip in a ground battle. On the morning of Tuesday the 31st, it was announced that over the past 24 hours, approximately 300 military targets had been attacked and destroyed, including Hamas anti-tank missile and rocket launch sites, Hamas tunnels, and military facilities. In response, Hamas released a video of three hostages, making excessive demands for a prisoner exchange and demanding a ceasefire. The International Red Cross and Israel continue to work to secure the release of those kidnapped, while Hamas and the Israeli military are postponing ground fighting in the Gaza Strip. However, Hamas continued to fire rockets toward Israel, some of which fell on apartments in Ashkelon and Tel Aviv. There have also been Hezbollah attacks on the northern Lebanese border, where IDF warplanes struck infrastructure belonging to the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon on Tuesday morning, a military spokesman said.

Heavenly Father, we entrust Israel’s war against Hamas to You, God the Father Almighty, and we pray. Please have mercy on Israel, which is mourning the loss of its families, property, friends, and neighbors due to the atrocities of Hamas terrorists. Furthermore, please comfort the families whose families have been kidnapped as hostages and allow all 220 hostages to be released and returned. Behind this war, they say they will wipe out Israel from the face of the earth and provide weapons to Hamas and Jihad in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah on the Lebanese border. Please rule over Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his evil tricks that use Syria as a military base and attack Israel.

Heavenly Father, we declare that the war belongs to the Lord. We bless Israel with Psalms 27:1-6. 'The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord. 'Please follow these words and protect the lives of the Israeli soldiers and people from danger. As you said, please help the Israeli soldiers on the battlefield not to be afraid but to look to God for help and rely on Him. Please protect the Israeli soldiers from the flames of the battlefield and turn them into new threshing machines so that they can become warriors who attack entirely, crush, and send away their enemies. Please help the current soldiers and reserve forces currently fighting in the war to become God's warriors who trust and pray in God and become God's instruments of victory. Let all nations see the written words of the Bible through Israel and reveal the glory of the God of Israel.

Father God!

Anti-Semitism, joining Muslims' anti-Israel protests, is occurring not only in Muslim countries but also in many countries. On October 30, when an Israeli plane arrived at Khachkala Airport in Dashkent, Russia, hundreds of protesters stormed in. They tried to attack the plane, screaming to catch the Jews, but it was reported that 60 people were arrested. 

Heavenly Father, a wave of anti-Semitism is rising through incorrect information as if this war against Hamas terrorists is a war against the people of Gaza. Just as the war between Ukraine and Russia caused many Jews to make aliyah, please let the anti-Semitism arising from this war cause Jews who must return from other countries to make aliyah to Israel so that they can all return to the Promised Land. Please have pity on the foolish people of the nations who do not know God's will and providence, raise their voices against anti-Semitism, and persecute the Jews. 'This is what your Sovereign Lord says, your God, who defends his people: “See, I have taken out of your hand the cup that made you stagger; from that cup, the goblet of my wrath, you will never drink again. I will put it into the hands of your tormentors, who said to you, ‘Fall prostrate that we may walk on you.’ And you made your back like the ground, like a street to be walked on.”' (Isaiah 51:22-23) The Lord removes the cup of anger from Israel and straightens up the fallen Israel. Now, according to your words, please place a cup of wrath on the persecutors of the nations who are harassing Israel, set Israel before them, and fulfill your words.

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.

'“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. '

(Matthew 5:3-8)

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

Father God!

As war between Israel and Hezbollah spreads along the Lebanese border, Lebanon is in a state of panic, with many Lebanese residents moving north or emigrating abroad. Embassies around the world are urging their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately. But Pastor Said Deeb of the Church of God, a Beirut life center, said, "No matter what happens, no matter what the cost, I decided to stay to help my church members and the country." Pastor Deeb, who experienced numerous wars, including the Beirut port explosion in 2020, said, "At this time, peace came to me that 'there will be no war in the name of Jesus.' This confidence is because we are fasting and praying for 24 hours and 50 hours, and we believe that God will give us peace." "Since this conflict began in Israel, more and more people are coming to church, even non-believers. My neighbors are waking up and coming to me and asking, 'Can we sign up for Bible school?' "There are 360 students who are asking questions and reading the Bible together every day." The church, located in one of Beirut's poorest areas, said it was providing meals and other necessities to many people, including refugees from Armenia, Iraq, and Palestine.

Father God, it can be dangerous to talk about politics and Israel because it is under Hezbollah, the most potent political and military force in Lebanon. However, we pray that you will protect, protect, and provide for Pastor Dave and the church as they continue to focus on sharing Jesus and praying for peace. In particular, Pastor Deeb recalled the words the Lord gave him in 2006. "When bombs start falling, there is only one place to hide, one refuge, and that is the Lord, my refuge. This is the place given to me," he said, and the 'safest place on earth' is within God's will. He confesses that 'God's will is the safest place you should be.' "I love you, O LORD my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." (Psalm 18: 1-2) According to these words, may the Lord be a shield and fortress for the Life Center Church of God and Pastor Div, and may the Holy Spirit work so that we can share the light and food of Yeshua's life with those who visit the church.

Father God!

The United Nations recently sent a letter to the Nigerian government regarding the murder of a Christian student last year. On May 12, 2022, Deborah Emmanuel was accused of blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad at her school in Sokoto State, after which she publicly called out Islamic extremists. He was beaten and then burned at the stake. The United Nations sent a letter to the Nigerian government about this last August, and after no response within 60 days, it recently made it public. "We are concerned about her death, the apparent negligence revealed during the police prosecution, and the lack of accountability for the perpetrators of the murder. We also criticize the arrest and detention in Bauchi State of Rhoda Jatau, who shared a video on WhatsApp condemning Emmanuel's murder." "We reiterate our call for the abolition of the blasphemy law, which repeatedly violates freedom of religion and belief. We want the Nigerian government to provide the status of the current investigation into Deborah's murder, the factual basis for the events that led to the public assault, and the factual and legal basis for Jatau's arrest and detention." It also requested confirmation of how these facts are compatible with Nigeria's international human rights obligations.

Heavenly Father, "We appreciate that the United Nations strongly questions the Nigerian government's brutal burning of Deborah Emmanuel and her unjust detention in Zatau for peacefully exercising her fundamental rights. Please comfort the family of Deborah Emmanuel, whose young daughter was falsely accused, beaten, and burned at the stake because of her faith in Yeshua, and give her strength and courage to triumph in her faith as she looks to eternal life in the Kingdom of God. Also, please help Jatau, who is being detained, come out quickly. Please help Nigeria follow the United Nations' call to abolish its blasphemy provisions and address and punish religious extremism and violence. Please protect the Christians who are suffering from attacks and kidnappings against Christians that are occurring in that land, and give them the strength of the Holy Spirit to follow the path of faith until the end.

Heavenly Father, "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:43-44). Jesus told us to love and pray for the evil people on this earth who do not know God and who persecute and persecute Christians and cause them pain and death. Please bless God's children who keep their faith despite being persecuted and killed in the name of Yeshua so that they can win the race of faith until the end. Just as you prayed while dying on the cross, "Please forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing," we pray that you will have mercy on those who do not know the love and life of Yeshua, who persecute and kill believers. Lord, please protect your children who are in tribulation and persecution so that they may win until the end.

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

'Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. '

(Psalms 2:10-11)

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

Father God!

Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, a position that had been vacant for three weeks, with the approval of all Republicans. Rep. Mike is a MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporter, and above all, I am grateful that he is anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ. In his first speech after being elected as Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson (Republican-Louisiana) 'He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. ' (Daniel 2:21) Mentioning these words in front of Republican and Democratic lawmakers, "Today, we are reminded that each of us has a great responsibility to use the gifts God has given us to serve the special people of this great nation, for whom God has raised every one of us." As a person of faith, please give Speaker Johnson more wisdom and power from the Lord. Please guide us in making decisions that are best for America, including the potential for a federal shutdown and the budget through the November 17 expiration of government funding. Please allow the U.S. government to no longer help and fund wars by maximizing U.S. debt and, according to the Lord's word, use the budget to help and comfort Israel, which is at war and difficulties due to the invasion of Hamas.

Father God!

On October 25, more than 3,000 people, primarily teenagers, attended a revival meeting hosted by the Association of Christian Athletes at a high school football stadium in Lakeside, Arkansas, in Hot Springs. The event, known as Field of Faith, is one of hundreds of Field of Faith events taking place around the world this year. This event is a place of fellowship where friends invite friends to influence each other; there is food, worship music, and time for students to share their testimonies of faith publicly. The regional director of the event said of last week's meeting that there was a movement of the Holy Spirit, hundreds of students prayed to seek and meet the Lord, God was present, and their lives were transformed.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the spirit of revival that has come upon this land and the youth. We are grateful for the news of spiritual revival and great awakening that has been heard throughout the United States since the beginning of this year, and we pray that the spark of the resurrection of the Holy Spirit will reach the church and our places. The believers wake up and seek the face of the Lord, and the parents of Hannah's generation raise their children of Samuel's generation to the Lord, and our children say, "As the child Samuel grew, he found favor with the Lord and with people (1 Samuel 2:26). Let us walk with the Lord like this, "And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him so that not one of his horses fell to the ground." (1 Samuel 3:19) Like these words, please let the flame of revival burn even brighter so that a great spiritual awakening can spread through the youth of this United States, evangelism to the nations, souls going out to the Lord, and accepting Jesus.

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. 

Heavenly Father, please help us continue to appoint Supreme Court judges who uphold the spirit of Christianity and establish leaders who can lay the foundation to lead America to Biblical values by appointing conservative judges. Please help us restore education based on the founding ideology established by the Christian faith in 1776. “Therefore, I exhort you, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for all people, for kings and all who are in authority. That we may follow God entirely and live a quiet and peaceful life of honesty (1 Tim. 2:2-3). According to these words, we pray more for the will of the Lord and pray that He will raise up leaders who will protect America and the nations. Also, please help the church wake up and pray for the leaders and nation that the Lord is establishing. “I have set watchmen on your walls so that they will not keep silent day and night” (Isaiah 62:6). Let the church and intercessors cry out and pray day and night, and let many harvest workers for the next generation arise during this time of the final harvest. Please help us become a country that serves God as faithful witnesses.

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

'who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. '

(Galatians 1:4-5)

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

Father God!

As South Korea's declining birth rate progresses faster than expected, the current total fertility rate is 0.7 in the second quarter from 0.78 in the first quarter of this year. This number is an all-time low. Compared to 170,000 people born last year in August 2022, about 158,000 people were born this year. For example, as a critically low birth rate began in 2002, the number of births fell by 600,000, with fewer than 500,000 children born, and the impact of this led to a massive shortage of local universities in the 2021 school year. As the population in their early 20s has decreased, the number of new workers will fall in the future, which will have a very negative impact on our country's industry. In response, the President's Committee on Low Birth Rate and Aging Society announced that it is considering introducing an 'automatic parental leave system' that automatically takes up to one year after maternity leave.

Heavenly Father, South Korea ranks last among OECD member countries with a total fertility rate of 0.7 and a population growth rate of -0.14%. There are even gloomy predictions that it will experience a population decline more rapidly than any other country. They will lead to the 'extinction of the Republic of Korea.' In creating all things in the world, "God created man in his image, in the image of God he created them. Male and female, he created them. God blessed them. Then God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it." Rule over the fish and the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth" (Genesis 1:27-28). Please bless the families of married couples according to these words and give birth to life. In particular, please help young people of faith be thankful for marriage, receive the blessing of children, and build happy families. "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is a reward. The children of a young man are like arrows in the hand of a warrior. Blessed is the man whose quiver is filled with arrows. They will not be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate." (Psalm 127:3-5) Please bless young families to become families who accumulate heavenly rewards through their children, as the Bible says.

Father God!

Heavenly Father, we especially pray for the human rights of the 2,000 North Korean defectors in China. The Chinese government does not comply with the UN Refugee Convention, does not recognize UN refugee status, and is forcibly repatriating North Korean defectors to North Korea. Please pity the torture and suffering that North Korean defectors will face upon returning to North Korea, which ignores human rights. 'Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death. Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins. ' (Psalms 68:20-21) Please give us a day of liberation when the North Korean Kim Jong-un regime, which forces North Korean defectors imprisoned in China to return to North Korea and inflict suffering, falls, and the Three Eighth Parallels are opened. Above all, he said, please rule over the Chinese Communist Party, which is forcibly repatriating North Korean defectors. Please help China recognize North Korean defectors as refugees and allow them to join the free Republic of Korea.

#God the Father,

'Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. ' (Daniel 9:18) Please pour out on the Korean church the knees of prayer that repented and prayed for the sins of Daniel's people and ancestors. Please hear our prayers and see the desolate situation in North Korea. The places where we worshiped the Lord have collapsed, and the idols of Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, and Kim Jong-un have been standing there, stealing the glory of God. Please take pity on the land and people of North Korea and show them mercy. Please listen to the tearful prayers of North Korean believers and quickly bring about the day when we can worship the Lord to our heart’s content. Please restore the land of North Korea with the gospel, and let the fallen churches of the Lord be rebuilt and the day of worshiping God the Father come quickly. As the saying goes, “But the people who know their God will be strong and valiant” (Daniel 11:32b); please help the people of Korea become strong people who know God. May the Korean Church become an advanced missionary Korea, unified by the Gospel and a Christian nation, awaken the nations of the world, and allow the church and believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit to prepare and welcome the way of the Lord's return. Please help us become a country that reveals the glory of God.

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