Prayer for the Restoration of Israel and Nations      

3/27-4/2/24>

'Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord , to help me. May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” turn back because of their shame.'

(Psalms 70:1-3)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

Father God,

Purim Day was celebrated on March 24th and 25th, and the Purim Parade, which started in Tel Aviv 42 years ago, has been held in cities across the country. This year, during the war, Jerusalem began its Purim parade for the first time in 42 years. Despite opposition from the hostages' families, some hostage families, officials, and about 30,000 citizens gathered on the streets. It was held as a parade to remember those who were held hostage. Especially on Purim, we read the Book of Esther and commemorate the incident in which Mordecai and Esther saved the Jews with the boldness of faith and took revenge on them for Haman's evil trick of annihilating the Jews.

Heavenly Father, while celebrating Purim, Israel, which is at war, reads the Book of Esther from Prime Minister Netanyahu to religious figures, citizens, and soldiers on the battlefield. He also declared that he would be delivered from the evil of Hamas by winning this war. We bless the Israelites who read the Book of Esther to become people who genuinely believe and pray that Israel's salvation comes from Jehovah God. "I will lift my eyes toward the mountains; whence will my help come? My help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. The LORD will not let you stumble; he who watches over you will not slumber. He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. "He will not" (Psalm 121:1-4). Please help Israel, who memorizes and sings these words, to fully trust in the Creator God, who protects and helps Israel. We remember Esther, who believed that if she died, she would die, and went before the King to accuse Haman of his wickedness, punishing his enemies and saving the Jews from death. Please open their eyes, ears, and hearts so that they may realize that Yeshua is the Messiah who saves us from the power of Satan and eternal death, that He is the KinKing the Jews, and that they may become Israel before the Lord.

Father God!

On March 26, the 172nd day of the war between Israel and Hamas, Israel continued operations at Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza City, eliminating as many as 180 Hamas leaders and agents. About 500 more people were arrested, and cash and many weapons were found. Additionally, the Khan Yunis al-Ahmar Hospital is also being used as a Hamas headquarters, and the Israeli military is carrying out operations against Israeli soldiers. We discovered that many weapons were being stored in private homes and hospitals nearby, using residents as human shields. Additionally, around Purim, Hamas in the Gaza Strip fired eight rockets into Ashdod, and there was a significant attack by Hezbollah in the north. There was also a shootout with Hamas operatives in the West Bank, which left two Israeli soldiers dead. Additionally, as knife attacks continue to occur in Israel, several people have lost their lives and been injured.

# Heavenly Father, we thank you for eliminating and arresting Hamas terrorist agents who have begun their activities again, mainly at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and Al-Ahmar Hospital in Khan Yunis in the Israeli-occupied southern Gaza region. Please help us find Hamas, which is attacking Israel by using ordinary Gaza citizens and patients as human shields. Please remove them and protect the Israeli soldiers who are assisting with the treatment so that patients who need complete treatment at the hospital can be treated.

# Hezbollah attacks are intensifying on the northern Lebanese border. “What have you to do with me, O Tyre, Sidon, and all around Philistia? Will you take revenge on me? And if you take revenge on me, I will quickly bring your revenge on your own head” (Joel 3:4) According to these words, may God retaliate against the ongoing attacks by Hezbollah in Tire and Sidon in northern Lebanon and protect the Israeli soldiers engaged in war. Due to attacks by Hezbollah in the north, 80,000 residents in the northern border area have been living as refugees, not refugees, for over five months. Please protect the residents, especially young children, from the trauma of war and give them comfort and peace. “The Lord will arise and have mercy on Zion; now is the time to show mercy to her, for the appointed time is coming” (Psalm 102:12). According to these words, we believe and pray that God is restoring Israel and showing mercy to Zion.

Father God!

In the truce negotiations between Israel and Hamas, Israel presented a new plan on the 24th (local time) to exchange 40 of its own hostages and 800 Palestinian prisoners. However, Hamas has not responded to the negotiations, insisting on conditions such as a permanent ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and no elimination of Hamas leaders. According to the Khan report, Israel could consider a permanent ceasefire if Hamas's Gaza leadership leaves the Strip and goes into exile, along with an agreement that includes the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip and the release of all hostages. But Hussam Badran, a senior Hamas official, said in a text message that "Hamas and its leaders will not leave Gaza."

# Heavenly Father, please comfort the families who have lost their lives due to the atrocities of Hamas terrorists, the families of soldiers, and the families of the 133 people kidnapped hostage, and please protect the lives of those who have been abducted so that they can return safely. Hostage release and ceasefire negotiations are underway again in Qatar. We pray that you will open the way for everyone to return, not just the 40 hostages that the Hamas leadership will leave the Gaza Strip and that the West Bank, like the West Bank, will come under Israeli rule. Also, may Israel become a nation that comes closer to God, seeks the Lord's grace, and exalts God's name. “You are holy, O Lord, in the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in you, they trusted in you, and you delivered them. They cried to you and were saved; they trusted in you and were not put to shame” (Psalm 22:3-5). According to the words of David's psalm, which he confessed and praised in this way, please help Israel believe that God is the God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Cry out and pray, and give them victory. Please help the nation's realize and know that Jehovah God is the God of Israel. Even though the war that Israel is currently waging, please let people know that only you, whose name is Jehovah, is the Most High of the whole world (Psalm 83:18)

Father God!

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.

'Ascribe to the Lord , all you families of nations, ascribe to the glory and strength. the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts. Worship the in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth. Say among the nations, “The reigns.” The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.'

(Psalms 96:7-10)

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

Father God!

To date, 137 people have been killed and 182 injured in an indiscriminate shooting and fire attack that occurred at the Crocus City Hall concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow on March 22. Additionally, four suspects from Tajikistan were detained by a Russian court. Khorasan, an Islamic extremist militant group, claimed responsibility for the attack, and in a video of the attack released on the 24th, one of the terrorists was seen. “Kill without mercy. “We are here for God’s cause,” he said, but Russian terrorists tried to cross the border between Russia and Ukraine. However, they pointed out Ukraine as the mastermind, saying they had contact with Ukraine. He said, “The United States is sponsoring corruption and terrorism under the regime of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.” Experts analyzed that Russia intended to use this terrorist attack to justify its position that it should mobilize additional troops and increase its military in the war against Ukraine.

Heavenly Father, many people lost their lives and were injured due to the IS terrorism in Russia. Please comfort those who have lost family members and help those who have been injured to heal. Lord, please rule so that Russia, which criticizes the United States for providing information about IS terrorism and claims Ukraine is behind them, does not expand the war by adding strength to its attacks on Ukraine. IS, an Islamic extremist group, is further expanding its power by recruiting Muslims who have suffered the oppression and discrimination they experienced as migrant workers in Central Asia. Please give the nations the wisdom to realize that terrorism is expanding globally and deal with it. Please stop IS's strategy and expansion and pity the children who are being brainwashed by the extreme ideology behind it. Also, please stop Russia's intention to attack Ukraine and intensify the war because of this, and please have mercy on the Ukrainian people who are suffering from war damage.

Father God!

On March 23, Taiwan's Coast Guard permanently deployed 100-ton patrol ships for the first time in eight years. These patrol ships are armed with 20mm machine guns and T-75 20mm machine guns, the 4,000-ton new vessel, and the 1,000-ton Taichung ship in the Pacific Ocean. This is a defensive policy. In July 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague, Netherlands, also deployed 100-ton patrol ships. It did not recognize China's sovereignty over the South China Sea, including Taiping Island. However, China is claiming sovereignty by drawing a nine-dash line that includes Taiping Island and nearby waters, islands, and reefs. The Taiwan Air Force Command also announced that it conducted large-scale land, sea, and air defense training using surface-to-air missiles from 5 to 7 am on the 26th. “It was an intensive exercise for the military to deal with potential threats as Chinese military aircraft and warships frequently invade the waters and airspace around Taiwan.” This exercise was conducted to strengthen training in response to China's active military activities around Taiwan Island. It was said to have achieved good results by checking the joint air defense combat command and control of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Heavenly Father, please protect peace in the Taiwan Strait and Taiping Island, Taiwan's territory in the Pacific, where threats are increasing as Chinese military aircraft and warships invade the waters and airspace around Taiwan. Taiwan Defense Ministry spokesman Sun Li-fang announced that the threat of Chinese invasion continues to increase, adding that the Taiwanese military is continuing to increase the intensity of training to deal with it. “He made of one blood all the nations of mankind to live on all the earth. He determined their times and determined the boundaries of their habitation so that people might feel for God and seek him, and he is not far from each one of us.” (Acts 17:27,28) Please help China and Taiwan to live according to the laws of the Lord, who has determined the age and limits of residence as one lineage of Adam, created by God. Please help them realize that God lives and be blessed to seek and meet God. Please protect Taiwan and protect Asia-Pacific countries so that China does not invade Taiwan, a liberal democratic government, and start a war.

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

'if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

(2 Chronicles 7:14)

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

Father God!

Oregon passed the most progressive drug law in the country in 2020, moving back to a policy of decriminalizing drug possession with Proposition 110, which eliminated criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of drugs. This soon led to a surge in drug overdose deaths, and Portland continued to struggle with the fentanyl scourge as a scene of drugs and despair. The fentanyl epidemic, coupled with soaring overdoses and public drug use, has convinced most Democrats that it is time to roll back measures long advocated by Republicans. On March 1, state lawmakers passed a bill 21-6 to reintroduce some restrictions. The bill would make possession of small amounts of drugs such as heroin, fentanyl, and pyrophone a misdemeanor punishable by up to 180 days in jail or 18 months in prison.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for abolishing the legalization of drug possession in Oregon, USA, and enacting regulatory legislation again. Please allow laws to ban drugs to be passed in all 50 states in the United States, including Oregon. Please grant the judiciary and judges who decide on drug issues the wisdom and honest conscience to make reasonable decisions. “May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Let churches and parents pray about the drug problem like these words, and let a national revival movement praying to restore America's holiness spread like fire in this land. Let the next generation in America first receive the grace of salvation by accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior, live a life of faith that maintains holiness through the Word and prayer, and be free from addiction problems such as drugs, homosexuality, and pornography.

Father God!

CVS and Walgreens, the largest pharmacy chains in the United States, announced that they will begin dispensing oral post-abortion drugs starting this month. Mifepristone, approved by the FDA in 2000, is one of two drugs used in medication abortions, which account for more than half of abortions in the United States. The Hippocratic Medical Association and other groups sued the FDA in 2022, saying it did not adequately consider the drug's risks when it first approved it or later relaxed distribution restrictions. The Supreme Court's final ruling on this case will be made around the end of June. Since the Supreme Court overturned abortion rights, nearly two dozen states have introduced bills to restrict abortion. However, the Democratic Party and Biden made abortion rights a top priority in the November election. To this end, they are inciting residents by claiming that the right to abortion is the reproductive right of women and individuals. That's because it's a major agenda item that Democrats hope will boost enthusiasm among their base, attract independent voters, and increase voter turnout in the November election. The companies said they plan to offer the pill and expand sales to other states following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) decision last year to allow the drug to be sold in retail pharmacies for the first time in the country.

Heavenly Father, we confess that abortion is not our right and that the sovereignty of life belongs only to God. Mifepristone, which allows pregnant women to have abortions by oral administration easily, is expected to be sold in several states. “Open your mouth for the cause of the dumb and every lonely person” (Proverbs 31:8). These words say that we want the Lord's children to make a sound for the fetuses who cannot make a sound. We pray that the sale and mail order of mifepristone, which promotes abortion, will be banned and that abortion will be prevented in the United States. First, let President Biden and those in government realize that abortion is a sin of fetal murder, express a political stance against abortion, and engage in political activities to protect the life of the fetus. Also, let pro-lifers who protect the life of the fetus be established among public officials, and let the pro-life movement spread socially through them. First, please make the church aware of the sin of abortion, which sheds innocent blood, and repent for the bloodshed through abortions in the United States over the past 50 years. Let the truth that abortion is a clear sin be proclaimed from church pulpits and schools, and let churches and families speak out on behalf of mute fetuses to prevent abortion and shout out the message of respect for life.

Father God!

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Monday that former President Donald Trump can remain eligible to run for president in Colorado. Thank you for upholding the conscience of the Supreme Court Justices for essential cases before the Supreme Court so that fair and truthful decisions are made. The decision, which has national implications, comes after months of debate over whether the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination violated the "insurrectionist clause" of the 14th Amendment—in addition to Colorado, Maine, and Illinois courts invalidated the ruling last week, allowing the name of the Republican presidential frontrunner to remain. “Therefore I urge you, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for all people, for kings and all who are in authority. We may follow God entirely and live a quiet and peaceful life of honesty (1 Tim. 2:2-3). There are still lawsuits pressuring him in New York State and elsewhere that are scheduled to proceed in March, but please postpone them and remove the media's false, very negative, and destructive image of the conservative candidate. Please help the people judge him based on the Biblical policies he implemented, not what the media says, and participate in the proper election.

Heavenly Father, we pray for the American presidential election. We pray that through the November presidential election, a president with a vision will be elected, leading us to a nation that fears God and implements biblical policies. Please help the anti-biblical and reverse discriminatory policies of abortion, gender ideology, and DEI (diversity, equality, and inclusion) disappear so that current individuals, society, and the nation cannot live according to the word of truth. Also, please raise a leader who can stop the trend of anti-Semitism. “I searched among them for someone to build a wall for the land and to stop the breach so that I would not destroy it, but I did not find one” (Ezekiel 22:30). Like these words, please help churches and intercessors rise to protect this land by blocking the collapsed walls. Please, God, so that the Senate and House of Representatives, with the right leaders, can become majority parties and change policies. Please help us stop election fraud in all upcoming elections, ensure fairness and justice, ensure justice in the judiciary, and provide true and accurate audits. Please help America become a just country of light that God uses until the end.

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

'And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. '

(Romans 13:11-12)

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

Father God!

On March 25, the Seoul National University College of Medicine and Seoul National University Hospital Emergency Response Committee (Seoul National University College of Medicine Emergency Committee) held an emergency general meeting attended by faculty from four hospitals, including Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seoul Boramae Hospital, and Gangnam Center. While the decision was made to submit resignations from this day, about 400 professors at Seoul National University College of Medicine also decided to submit their resignations voluntarily. According to the National Medical University Professors' Emergency Response Committee, professors from 19 medical schools began submitting letters of resignation or decided to resign on the morning of the 25th, despite the government's offer for dialogue. “This crisis cannot be resolved unless the government withdraws admission quota and quota allocation. He said, “The professors’ ‘voluntary’ resignation and 52-hour work week will proceed as scheduled starting today.” On the 24th, President Yoon Seok-yeol announced the request of Han Dong-hoon, Chairman of the People Power Party Emergency Response Committee, for flexible handling of the administrative disposition to suspend the resident's license. He said, “Please consult with the party to find a flexible way to handle it.” The spokesperson's office reported that he told Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, "Please form a constructive consultative body with medical professionals and pursue dialogue." The Seoul National University Medical School Emergency Committee said, “For the sake of the people and Korea’s medical care, the government must immediately stop its policy of increasing the number of medical schools and step forward for true medical reform.”

Heavenly Father, please help us bring about a true new medical reform through dialogue with the government and medical staff regarding the ongoing medical crisis. Following the chaos in the medical field, where residents collectively resigned in protest against the government's expansion of medical school quotas, medical school professors are also submitting resignation letters. Please help us end this confusion and establish the right policies so that the government and medical community can provide treatment to suffering patients. “Where there is no counsel, plans fail, but through many strategies, they succeed” (Proverbs 15:22). “A plan is accomplished by counsel; use strategy and wage war” (Proverbs 20:18). Please allow the government and medical staff to discuss together and establish the right policies according to these words, and give grace to doctors who have resigned so that they can return to their noble mission of protecting the health and lives of patients. Please put an end to the situation in which patients who commit perjury are losing their lives because they cannot find an emergency room that can provide treatment as soon as possible. We pray that God will personally intervene so that a reasonable solution can be found between the medical community and the government to prevent further side effects at the expense of patients' lives.

Father God!

Many high school teachers said students' overall classroom attitude is worsening. Not only has their enthusiasm for learning disappeared, but even the basics are no longer being followed. Students take it for granted that they attend class without a textbook and do not do their homework. Students also compare themselves to the teacher, arguing that it is irrational, and complain that the teacher uses a cell phone, so why can't they use one? Many students said they are becoming increasingly absent from school due to a lack of interest in their studies. The number of emotionally unstable students who have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) or self-harming is increasing, and SNS addiction is becoming more serious. As a result, instead of receiving appropriate treatment, there are cases where children complain of emotional pain and decide to absent themselves from school. One teacher also said that there are times when he receives calls from parents saying, “My child wants to rest,” even though their children can come to school. When you ask a student who is late why they are late, they will often say, “My mom dropped me late,” as if they don’t understand why they shouldn’t be late. The changed reality of the education world saddened them.

Heavenly Father, we listen to what the next generation does in our schools through the teachers who teach our students. We pray for the youth generation through the sadness of the teachers who spoke about reality while sighing throughout the interview because they were concerned about their students. Please pity the students who spend their school days in a changing culture, trying to be satisfied with today's reality, blaming the environment, being discouraged, and spending their school life without a vision or hope for tomorrow because they have no true life. Please comfort the struggling and sad teachers and give them your heart, Lord. We pray that you will shine the light of true life and open our eyes to see the eternal world of the Lord. We genuinely place the next generation in the hands of the Lord. “Rejoice, young man, in your youth; let your heart rejoice in the days of your youth; walk in the ways that your heart desires and in the sights of your eyes; but know that God will judge you for all these things.” (Ecclesiastes 11:9) “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the bad days come, before the years approach in which you will say, “I will have no pleasure,” before the sun and light, before the moon and the stars become dark, before the clouds rise after the rain, so that he may judge you because of them. “Know that” (Ecclesiastes 12:1-2). Please raise the next generation of leaders who will teach these words to the youth. There is a shortage of workers. “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest” (Matthew 9:37-38). Lord, we pray. Please send workers to harvest.

Father God!

Please make sure that there is no election fraud in Korea. Please be honest in early voting so that the problems with election fraud from the last vote are not repeated. Let the National Election Commission be honest so that a proper election can be held and an accurate vote count can be made. Above all, please help them to bring forth leaders of faith so Korea can become a country serving God. Please bless them so leaders who fear God and know this era through the Word of God will be raised. We acknowledge that everything is in the hands of the Lord and pray for our country and people. May the Republic of Korea be established as a nation that fears God and becomes a unified Korea that spreads the works of God to all countries.

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