Prayer for the Restoration of Israel and Nations      

3-1/9/24>

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.

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 68:19-21)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

Father God,

The war began on October 7 last year and has now passed 83 days. As we enter the new year of 2024, Israel is attacking many Hamas headquarters bases, destroying connected tunnels, and coordinating the operations of the war. The war to annihilate the remaining Hamas is expected to last one year in 2024, and reserve forces deployed to the Gaza Strip have been withdrawn. It was announced through a military spokesperson that they would be allowed to handle their daily lives, and the war would be continued through active soldiers. Since the war began, 172 soldiers have been killed, and it is estimated that 129 hostages remain in Gaza.

Heavenly Father, we declare that the war belongs to the Lord, and I pray and believe in Your work toward Israel through Isaiah 41:8-16. 8“But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend, 9I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. 10So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 11“All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. 12Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. 13For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. 14Do 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. 15“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. 16You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up, and a gale will blow them away. But you will rejoice in the Lord and glory in the Holy One of Israel.

Heavenly Father, please comfort the families who lost their lives due to the atrocities of Hamas terrorists, the families of soldiers who lost their lives in war, and the families of the 129 people kidnapped hostage. In particular, please help those who Hamas has kidnaped to return safely and protect their lives. Please comfort the parents who cry at the funeral of their son who was sacrificed on the battlefield and the wives and children of young reservists. "Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. Take up shield and armor; arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear and javeli against those who pursue me. Say to me, “I am your salvation.” May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away; may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them." (Psalm 35:1-6) Please allow the war to end in victory quickly and the peace and shalom that the Lord gives us to overflow and restore this land.

Father God!

On January 1, 2024, with the participation of all 15 justices of the Israeli Supreme Court, the revised Basic Law on the Judiciary promoted by the current right-wing government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was invalidated by a vote of 8:7. "The decision was made based on the judgment that the legislation in question seriously undermines the basic character of Israel as a democratic state."

Heavenly Father, please help the political leaders of each branch of Israel, who have been divided over the judicial reform plan, to fear God and become faithful in their duties according to the Word of God. Especially in times of war, we cooperate and say, "Hear, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel; is it not your duty to know justice?" (Micah 3:1) Please help us not to be divided again by judicial reform plans according to these words but to humble ourselves before the word of Jehovah God. Please help us to obey Your commands and become people who act justly and speak honestly. Please help us become one in faith that God is carrying out His will for Israel, even amid Hamas' evil terror on October 7 and the subsequent war. "Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer and the Holy One of Israel: 'I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to benefit you and guides you in the way you should go. If you had heeded my commandments, your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea." (Isaiah 48:17,18) According to these words, please help government leaders remember God's word even more and repent during times of war. Help them fully understand God's Word, bow down in humility, and look to God, who works together for good. Please help the leaders and people of Israel fully realize that you are rebuilding and protecting Israel in these last days. In this time of war, allow us to cry out to God, repent, learn, bow down in humility, and look to God, who works together for good.

Heavenly Father, in response to Hezbollah's missile attacks against Israel on the Lebanese border, the Israeli military is attacking Hezbollah's fighter base and engaging in solid combat. Please rule over Iran's evil tricks and plots that provide weapons to Hamas and Jihad in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah on the Lebanese border, and Houthi terrorists in Yemen to attack Israel. Israeli residents who are close to attacks by Gaza in the south and Hezbollah in the north are fleeing. Please have mercy on those who have left the comfort of their families, and give your protection, comfort, and peace to our young children so that they do not suffer the trauma of war.

Father God!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. When you cry to me and come to me and pray, I will hear your prayer, and when you do it with all your heart, Seek me, and you will find me, and you will find me, declares the LORD. I will find you, and I will bring you back from your captivity, and I will gather you from the nations and from all the places I sent you and bring you back to the place from which you were taken captive. "This is what you say" (Jer 29:11-14). Please help the young Diaspora Jews who come to volunteer in these problematic and difficult times realize that this war is not a disaster but a hope for God's hidden future. Please help them learn this is a time to come before the God of Israel, cry out, pray, seek, and meet God. While serving this land, please help me realize that now is the time to return to this land entirely and decide to make aliyah.

# Heavenly Father, even after the war, people from all walks of life, including Christians from all over the world, are coming to Israel and serving as volunteers in hopes of restoring the word to Israel. We bless those who serve and participate in the pain and suffering of this country. Please help the Israelites see Messiah Yeshua through the love of Christians from all nations who support and serve Israel now. Please use the Holy Spirit to make this a time for the Israelites to seek and meet the Lord and to hear God's hidden time and the word of God's calling for this era through this war.

 “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.

Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.’

 (Jeremiah 33:9)

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

Father God!

Leaders from various religions gathered at a human rights event held in Islamabad, Pakistan's federal capital, on December 24. Pakistan's Interim Prime Minister Qakar said at a ceremony to mark Christmas. He said, "All Pakistani citizens, regardless of faith, deserve equal rights." "We will resist all kinds of fascism." In this way, holiday greetings were delivered to the Christian world. Accordingly, the Pakistan-Christian community celebrated Christmas, and special programs were held in churches in major cities such as Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, and Peshawar. "Christmas is the happiest day for us," said Pastor Faheem Shahzad, president of the Presbyterian Church. "People come to church to pray and participate in various events. We thank God for allowing people always to express love, peace, and unity through these prayers." Christians makeup about 1.6% of Pakistan's population of 241 million and can face life imprisonment for violating Section 295-B of Pakistan's blasphemy law. Accusations often lead to mob violence, but there is virtually no punishment for false accusers. Last January, a Muslim woman was sentenced to death for committing blasphemy through her text messages. Christians in Jaranwala reported that "nearly two dozen churches and numerous homes were looted and burned, and despite government support for reconstruction, the extent of damage is so severe that full recovery is difficult." Said Pastor Rizwan Mill, who led the Christmas carol procession in Jaranwala. He said, "Both children and adults participated, and the procession ended in a church previously damaged in the attack."

Father God! "For the LORD is on a high, but he looks down on the lowly; from afar he knows the proud. Although I walk in trouble, you revive me; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me. "(Psalm 138:6,7). Please protect the believers of Pakistan according to these words. Please protect them from persecutors. We are thankful that Christianity is recognized nationally and that through the Christmas event, Yeshua has come to this land as a savior and is known to Pakistan. Muslims in Pakistan are still persecuting Christians, destroying churches, and attacking believers with false accusations. Please bless the believers in Pakistan who have maintained their faith despite many tribulations, and give them the power of the Holy Spirit to spread the gospel and expand the kingdom of God. Please give us victory so that more Muslims can come to the light of Yeshua's life. May God the Father receive praise and glory through the believers of Pakistan.

Father God!

At 4:06 p.m. on the first day of the new year, 2024, an earthquake of up to 7.6 occurred in the Noto Peninsula area of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. It was reported that at least 13 people died, and dozens were injured. Flights to and from Niigata Airport, which connects Saitama and Niigata prefectures, were also canceled. Traffic on some roads was suspended due to landslides and road destruction. In Ishikawa Prefecture, about 30,000 households experienced power outages, and communication services such as mobile phones also suffered disruptions. According to the Ishikawa Prefecture Fire Department, 30 houses and buildings were destroyed. A fire also broke out, and evacuation orders were issued to over 50,000 residents in five prefectures, including Kui, Tottori, Akita, Fukuoka, and Saga.

Heavenly Father, we heard the news of a 7.6 magnitude earthquake in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, followed by news of a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in Gansu Province, China, on the night of December 18th. As strong aftershocks continue, tsunami waves are affecting the East Sea of South Korea. Due to global climate change, disasters such as earthquakes, floods, cold waves, and volcanic eruptions are occurring one after another in local areas. "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but take heed that you do not be afraid. These things must happen, but the end is not yet. Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and famines and earthquakes in various places. All these will be disasters. "It is the beginning" (Matthew 24:6-8). As you said, the war between Israel and Hamas and the war between Russia and Ukraine continue. Through this earthquake in Japan, please help us feel even more that these events are the beginning of disaster, just as the Lord said. We see that the words are being fulfilled through the signs of the end times until the coming of Yeshua, our Lord, the Prince of Peace. As we look at these last days, please help people of faith remain awake and intercede in this age and fully prepare for the Lord's return. Please fill us with the Holy Spirit and help us live a life of believers through the Word and prayer.

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!

Due to the current administration's immigration policy, the number of illegal immigrants has increased rapidly, and the governors of Texas and Arizona have so far transported more than 80,000 immigrants on buses to the refuge cities of Chicago and New York. Since last year, the number of migrants who have arrived in Chicago has reached 26,000; in New York City, 160,000 have born their capacity. Chicago accommodates 1,000 refugee children a week in schools but has no budget for education. "the mayors of five cities are requesting $5 billion in support for illegal immigrants from the White House as they face opposition and resistance from residents due to the lack of short-term and long-term measures. Due to the overwhelming number of illegal immigrants, "sanctuary cities such as Chicago, New York, and Washington DC are declaring a state of emergency and requesting help from the government. In response to this situation, House Speaker Johnson said that the threat of terrorist attacks due to illegal immigration has increased. He also said border protection agents had seized enough fentanyl brought in by illegal immigrants to kill the entire U.S. population within the past year. Fentanyl addiction is now the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45, causing countless children and adults to become victims of human trafficking. He declared that drug-related cartels have become more active and that new policies are needed.

Heavenly Father, we pray for the problems of illegal immigration on the southern border of the United States. "here there is no counsel, the people perish, but with much counsel there is peace" (Proverbs 11:14). Since there is no wise guide regarding the policy for these illegal immigrants, they are unthinkingly following the caravan procession, the temptation, and instigation of brokers. However, in many cases, they become victims of crimes such as human trafficking and drug trafficking. "he trained them with the integrity of his heart and guided them with the skill of his hands." " (Psalm 78:72). As you say, please raise a leader like David in the United States so that he can not only ensure the safety of the United States but also provide legal help to neighboring countries. "and you shall appoint among all the people mighty men, men who fear God, who are truthful, and who hate unrighteous gain, and appoint them over the people, over thousands, over hundreds, over the fifties, and tens." (Exodus 18:21) Just as Moses led the Israelites in the wilderness, please raise the right leaders to establish the right immigration policy in the United States. We are thankful that the Lord has blessed us so far. Please help us become an America where we can live a life of upright faith in peace and help the weak. May those in power act wisely and bring peace to each region. Please protect our citizens and immigrants from crimes such as drugs, fentanyl, and human trafficking. Please stop all attempts to use these immigrants politically. Seeing this situation, please help the church and intercessors pray more for America's leaders and make America a country of light that will be used until the end.

Father God!

We pray for the US elections in November 2024. These elections will elect the president, all members of the House of Representatives, and one-third of the senators. “Remember those who spoke the word of God to you and led you, and consider the results of their conduct and imitate their faith” (Hebrews 13:7) Please raise leaders like these who want to go further with the word of the Lord. "Merry Christmas", not "Happy Holidays!" Instead of encouraging homosexuality and transgenderism, please allow us to freely teach biblical lessons and values in schools, educational institutions, and cultural areas of society. Please prevent all election fraud so that we can raise leaders recognized by God so that the next generation can become workers in the kingdom of God. “I looked for someone in the land to build a wall for the land and to stand in the breach so that I would not destroy it, but I did not find one.” (Ezekiel 22:30) Like these words, may the churches and believers in America pray wholeheartedly in faith and rise as churches and intercessors who will stand where the castle was destroyed and protect this land. We pray that fairness and justice will be achieved in all elections, that false reports will disappear, that justice will be realized in the judiciary, and that a true and accurate audit will be conducted.

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

The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.

But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.

(Psalms 33:10-12)

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

Father God!

On January 1, the Japan Meteorological Agency issued a "large tsunami warning" after an earthquake in Noto, Ishikawa Prefecture, and included Dokdo in its territory. The Japanese government does not recognize Dokdo as Korea's inherent territory, protesting against the Korean military's Dokdo defense training. They also protested through diplomatic channels on the 29th of last month regarding South Korea's 'East Sea Territory Defense Training' last month. In response, a Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs official said, "Dokdo is our unique territory historically, geographically, and under international law, and there is no sovereignty dispute over Dokdo." "We will respond firmly and severely to any unfair claims made by Japan regarding Dokdo."

Heavenly Father, we pray for our relationship with our neighboring country, Japan. Please take pity that Dokdo is considered Japanese territory even though it is marked as Korean on world maps. In his preaching in Athens, the Apostle Paul said, "He created from one blood all the nations of humanity to live on all the earth. He determined their times and the boundaries of their habitation so that they might seek God and find Him. He is ours. "He is not far from everyone" (Acts 17:26,27). He determined the era limited the boundaries of residence and set the boundaries between nations. This was done so people could seek, know, and believe in God. Japan, with its imperialistic nature, seems to be keeping Korea in check by treating it with its old ways, even as it sees Korea's revival and development after Korea's independence. Please have pity on Japan, which worships many idols. We pray that through Korea, people will realize and know that God is the only true living God. As the Korean church prays for Japan, please pray for the Holy Spirit to help Japan become a country that responds to the Gospel of Yeshua and forgives, loves, and spreads previous relationships. Please bless and receive glory from the Korean missionaries working hard to spread the gospel of salvation to Japan.

Father God!

Please make sure that there is no election fraud in Korea. The National Election Commission said it would consider adding a checklist procedure to check each ballot accurately. Please allow them to vote accurately and ensure the correct ballot is counted. Please ensure that the Election Commission is honest so that the problems of election fraud from the last vote are not repeated, proper elections are conducted, and accurate ballots are counted. Above all, please help us bring forth leaders of faith so Korea can become a country serving God. Please bless us so leaders who fear God and know this era through the Word of God will be raised. “The lot is cast in the lot, but the decisions are from the Lord” (Proverbs 16:33) Please help them to recognize that everything is in your hands and become saints who pray for our country and people. Please support the Republic of Korea in being established as a nation that fears God and becoming a unified Korea that spreads the works of God to all countries.

Father God!

Heavenly Father, please pour out the Holy Spirit on the churches and believers so that the churches in Korea, who are praying and waiting for the unification of the Gospel, will wake up and pray to fill the remaining prayer vessels for unification. "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 an advanced missionary Korea, unified through the Gospel and a unified Christian nation. Please listen to the tearful prayers of North Korean believers and quickly bring about the day when we can worship the Lord in our hearts. Please unify us through the Gospel and give us a day when the collapsed churches in North Korea are rebuilt, and worship is revived. Please allow the Korean church to awaken the world's nations and become this generation where the church and believers prepare and welcome the way of the returning Lord with the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

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

Praying for CWMI

Father God!

We pray for the ministry planned and promoted by CWMI. Please bless all executives and branch heads, including the president. What we ask of those in charge is loyalty, so let them obey for the glory of the Lord and let only the gospel be revealed. 

“Look at the Bible Big Picture" seminar for Korean missionaries overseas, Feb. 21-28, 2024, in Israel. In particular, please help Israel's war end: Consolation ministry, one-day seminar, and pilgrimage to Israeli settlements scheduled for March 12-19, 2024. Please guide this to be a time of grace for everyone.

We pray for the full presence and power of the Holy Spirit to be poured out on the women’s leaders’ meeting to be held in Korea on June 4th and 5th, 2024.

We pray for the Wednesday All Nations Prayer Meeting, held online every week. Thank you for blessing the Nations Prayer Meeting, which has been working diligently every week.
