Prayer for the Restoration of Israel and Nations      

6/26-7/2/24>

'Do not be afraid, land of Judah; be glad and rejoice. Surely the Lord has done great things! Do not be afraid, you wild animals, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches. Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. '

(Joel 2:21-23)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

Father God!

On the 24th, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who was visiting the United States, met with Amos Hoschstein, the U.S. special envoy to Lebanon, in Washington, DC. He emphasized Israel's commitment to changing the security situation in the border areas together with Hezbollah. He discussed "what measures are needed to reach a situation where the people of the north can return to their homes." General Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, asked Israel to consider the impact the war would have on the region and U.S. forces. He said the United States could offer help if war breaks out with Hezbollah, as it did when Iran attacked the Jewish state last April. He also reported that 10 C12 military transport aircraft supporting weapons from the United States and 4 Moroccan Air Force transport planes arrived at Van Gurion Airport on the 25th. Secretary Gallant said, "This visit to the United States will play a decisive role in the direction of future wars," and plans to meet with high-ranking U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Tony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (ICA) William Burns, about the situation of the war. It was said.

Heavenly Father, Minister of Defense Israel Gallant visits the United States. Israel's war in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah's attacks on Israel in the north are intensifying. As a result, he meets with American officials to discuss the future situation. The United States continues to be concerned about the expansion of the war, but Hezbollah continues to increase the level of its attacks. In addition, Hamas in the southern Gaza Strip continues to carry out terrorist attacks by recruiting teenagers aged 16 or older for military training to fill the insufficient number of terrorist forces. May the Lord be with Secretary Gallant on his visit to the United States, and may the discussions and decisions regarding war with the United States be made within the Lord's will. Please protect the Israeli soldiers during the war. Please pour out the wisdom and ability to eliminate Hamas terrorists and accurately prepare for a war in which Hezbollah declares attacks on Israel and Cyprus on the northern border. The war belongs to Jehovah, and I declare that both the war against Hamas and the war against Hezbollah are in the hands of Jehovah God, and I pray with the words of Psalm 35:1-6.

1. O LORD, fight with those who fight with me; fight with those who fight with me.

2. Take hold of your shield and shield, and arise and help me.

3. Pull out the spear, and block the way of those who pursue me, and say to my soul, I am your salvation.

4. Let those who seek my life be ashamed and put to shame; let those who seek to harm me turn away and be put to shame.

5. Let them be like chaff before the wind, and let the angel of the LORD drive them away.

6. Make their way dark and slippery, and let the angel of the LORD pursue them.

Father God!

On June 22, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu hinted at hostage release negotiations with Hamas and future policies toward the Gaza Strip through Israeli broadcasting news. So far, regarding the partial hostage release and ceasefire plan, Hamas has refused to negotiate, saying it wants a permanent end to the war. Accordingly, representatives of various tribes in the Gaza Strip and private organizations discussed ways to govern the Gaza Strip after the war, and Hamas announced that it had beheaded all of the representatives of these tribes. Regarding this, Hamas rules by force within the Gaza Strip, and currently, Hamas has a monopoly on relief supplies entering the Gaza Strip, so they are not being delivered to the refugees in the Gaza Strip. It is said that Hamas is selling them to residents at a high price.

Heavenly Father, please protect the lives of the hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza and open the way for their return. Please do not ignore Hamas’ evil actions and control them. Please comfort and protect the families of the remaining hostages and fulfill Your covenant. Please comfort the families of the sacrificed soldiers, their colleagues, and their neighbors, and help the Lord to eliminate the evil Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza Strip so that such pain will no longer occur. We pray that Hamas will control and eliminate its evil actions against Gaza residents and refugees. Please protect this land and its people from Hezbollah’s attacks. Please shine the light of your life on the land of Gaza and the entire land of Israel. Please help the Israelites become people who seek God, pray through this difficult time of war, and seek the Lord's face.

Father God!

On the 25th, the Thai government plans to send more than 10,000 agricultural workers to Israel by the end of the year, eight months after the attack by the Palestinian armed faction Hamas. Accordingly, about 200 people left the country that day, which was said to increase to 5,000 over the next 2-3 months. About 30,000 people lived in Israel before the Hamas attack war. Forty-one were killed, 32 were taken hostage, and six are still held in Gaza. Thai Labor Minister Phipat said that the Israeli side guaranteed Thai workers a 63-month work contract and safety, allowing them to return to work.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for allowing Thai workers to continue to come to Israel and help with the harvest at a time when there is a shortage of workers in Israel's Gibats and farms following the Hamas war. Even during the war, we are thankful that the fields' grains are waiting for harvest and the fruits of various trees are abundant. Thank you for sending workers to the farm. We praise and proclaim that the Lord cares for this land and its people. “At that time the LORD will have great love for his land, and will have compassion on his people. The LORD will answer them and say, ‘I will give you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied with them; I will never give you any more. They will not be reproached among the nations. I will drive the northern army away from you, into a dry and desolate land. The army before it will enter the eastern sea, and the army after it will enter the western sea. A putrid odor will arise, and a foul odor will rise up. Because he has done great things” (Joel 2:18-20). According to these words, please drive out the armies and units that attack Israel and give this land and people the promised blessing, including abundant blessings of the early and later rains. “So then you will know that I am the LORD your God in Israel, and there is no one else. My people will never be put to shame” (Joel 2:27). According to these words, please reveal that Jehovah God is the God of Israel and allow Israel to become a people who fully serve Jehovah God.

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.

'The Mighty One, God, the Lord , speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets. From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth. Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages. '

(Psalms 50:1-3)

Father God!

On the 24th, the Ukrainian military attacked the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula with the American long-range ATACMS missile, killing a total of four people, including two children. He said he strongly opposed the injuries of 153 people and complained to the US Ambassador to Russia, Tracy. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry said: “We fully understand who is behind this incident.” “If the United States intervenes in the fight and peaceful Russians die, there will inevitably be consequences,” he warned. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also said, “The United States and its puppet Ukrainians intervened. “Weapons supplied by the United States to Ukraine cannot be used without direct intervention by the U.S. military, including satellite capabilities,” he said. The Crimean Peninsula was forcibly annexed by Russia in 2014 and is considered the mainland, so the Atecom bombing is regarded as an attack on the mainland.

Heavenly Father, two years and four months have passed since the war began on February 24, 2022, when Russian artillery and missile units declared a “special military operation” and attacked Ukraine, starting with an all-out bombardment. Russia, which began this war, has been waging an all-out war against Ukraine for a long time, receiving help from Western countries. Accordingly, it is believed that Ukraine will use America's long-range atomic missiles and that Russia will protest against the United States and increase the level of retaliatory attacks. Please pity Ukraine, which is suffering a lot from this war. In particular, the world is suffering from a food shortage due to the damage to agricultural products in this region. To the disciples who were asking about the signs of the end times, he said, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” (Luke 21:10) But the Lord said, “It is not the end yet” (Matthew 24:6) and called this the beginning of disaster! We believe that God is making us realize that the end times are the beginning of disaster through the war between Russia and Ukraine and the war between Hamas and Hezbollah and Israel. We pray that the Lord will have mercy on the country and people in war and that the door of salvation will be opened. We pray that the reign of the Lord, the Prince of Peace, will come upon all nations. At the beginning of these disasters, please fill us with the Holy Spirit so that we can stay awake and sober, long for the coming of God's kingdom, and live a life of faith that prepares the way for the Lord's coming.

Father God!

At around 6 p.m. on June 23, armed men broke into a synagogue and an Orthodox cathedral in Derbent, Dagestan. They opened fire on priests and believers, set fire to icons in a cathedral, and even destroyed a synagogue. On the same day, in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, gunmen attacked an Orthodox cathedral and a nearby police station around evening. The total number of deaths in the incidents that occurred in these two areas was at least nine, including seven police officers, an Orthodox priest, and a church security guard, and 25 people were injured. Also, on the 24th, 15 police officers and four civilians, including Orthodox priest Nikolai Kotelnikov (66), were killed in simultaneous shooting terrorist attacks in the Autonomous Republic of Dagestan in southwestern Russia, where the majority of residents are Muslim. Additionally, 46 people were injured, Dagestan health authorities said, adding that five of the terrorist shooters had been eliminated and their identities confirmed.

Heavenly Father, please protect and protect Christians and Jews from the terrorist attacks against Christians and Jews taking place in the Autonomous Republic of Dagestan. The Autonomous Republic of Dagestan, where 80% of the population is Muslim, is prone to terrorism by Muslim separatist rebels. In October last year, the war broke out due to a surprise attack on Israel by the Palestinian armed political faction Hamas. Afterward, when a passenger plane from Israel landed at Dagestan's Makhachkala Airport, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters stormed the airport, saying, "We will hunt down Israelis." In particular, Jews who are under terrorist attack within the Republic of Dagestan, “But behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when no one will swear again as the LORD lives, who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; “I will bring them into their land, which I gave to their ancestors.” (Jer 16:14-15). According to these words, please allow the Jews remaining in the northern lands to return to Israel, the land promised to their ancestors. Please help Christians understand and know the Word of God through these things that are happening to the Jews scattered across the nations. Help Israel return to God's promised land.

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

' “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” '

(Matthew 7:24-27)

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

Father God!

Louisiana Republican Governor Jeff Landry signed a bill mandating that the Ten Commandments be displayed in all public school classrooms. Louisiana has become the first state in the nation to require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom. The bill signed by the governor required poster-size displays of “the Ten Commandments in large, easy-to-read font” in every public classroom, from kindergartens to state universities. The Ten Commandments are intended to be displayed with a brief statement: "They have been an important part of American public education for nearly three centuries." The bill also authorizes the hiring of chaplains in schools and limits teachers from mentioning sexual orientation or gender identity. It also prohibits schools from using preferred names or gender pronouns for transgender or gender identity students without parental permission. Mandatory posting of the Ten Commandments was previously promoted in some states, including Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah, but did not reach legislation.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for allowing the state of Louisiana to once again display the Ten Commandments, with a strong evangelical emphasis, in every public classroom. Louisiana can enact such a law because it has a Republican governor with evangelical values ​​and a state legislature with a majority of conservative lawmakers. Those who uphold conservative values ​​believe that the Ten Commandments have a historical significance beyond simply religious ones. Claiming to be "the foundational document of our state and national government," opponents question the law's constitutionality and say they will challenge it in court. Please make those who oppose this bill kneel before the Word of God. “The Lord has decreed His covenant with you and commanded you to keep it, the Ten Commandments, written by Himself on two stone tablets. “At that time, the LORD commanded me to teach you statutes and judgments so that you may walk in the land you will possess.” (Deuteronomy 4:13-14) Please keep Jehovah's regulations and laws according to these words and continue to enact conservative legislation that follows the values ​​of the Bible. Please let the church and parents continue to pray so our children can learn the truth and have a sound mind and soul. Please give us more grace to pray and live a life of love and obedience to the Word of God.

Father God!

The U.S. House of Representatives passed nine conservative amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the military funding bill for fiscal year 2025, while curbing progressive social issues. Amendment #55, regarding abortion, prohibits the Secretary of Defense from paying or reimbursing for costs related to abortion services. Religious Freedom Amendment #341 would revoke the disadvantages those who requested religious accommodations for the COVID-19 vaccination mandate suffered. Among the several amendments are a ban on providing gender reassignment procedures and a ban on DODEA, the Department of Defense's military base schools, from purchasing, displaying, or possessing material that promotes radical gender ideology or pornographic content. It also bans drag shows, drag queen story hours, and similar events, eliminates the position of Chief Diversity Officer at the Department of Defense in its DEI policy, and prohibits the creation of a similar position. We prohibit funding for companies that assess reliability by ‘fact-checking’ incorrect and false information. Amendment #5 for Israel would ban building or rebuilding with American funds in the Gaza Strip

Heavenly Father, every year, the progressive left has wanted to put social agendas in the military's overarching budget, including abortion, LGBT ideology, and DEI practices. But we are thankful that all nine conservative amendments passed this year, making the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025 a victory for Bible-believing conservatives. “If my people, called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now, I will open my eyes and listen to the prayers in this place. ” (2 Chronicles 7:14-15). According to these words, let American Christians intercede for American society, whose social culture is becoming secular and evil. Please work so that, through repentance, the country's policies will be re-established through the Word of God, and the hearts of the people will turn toward God. Please help America become a nation that serves God by assisting Israel in establishing itself as a nation of light and sheep.

Father God!

We pray for the November presidential election in the United States. Let a chosen leader be raised who can realize the values of the Bible according to the Word and correct all crookedness. Please help believers who believe in God and pray for the president and members of the Senate and House of Representatives so that they can discern and elect the people with a spirit of fear of the Lord. Let the media honestly report on the election campaign process and give the people the ears and discernment to judge and listen properly. In the name of Jesus, we cancel biased reports and public opinion, forming negative frames targeting specific candidates. We want those who fear God to devote themselves to the people and the country as presidents and leaders and have fair elections without manipulation or fraud. Let a president stand who restores America’s holiness by protecting its founding ideals and constitutional values and enacting an abortion law that saves the life of the fetus. 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. 

'“Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation: Instruction will go out from me; my justice will become a light to the nations. '

(Isaiah 51:4)

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

Father God!

Seventy-four years ago in 1950, in the early morning hours of Sunday morning, I prayed for our country and people as we passed through the Korean War when the invasion of the South took place with Soviet-made tanks. On the 19th, Russian President Putin, who paid his first state visit to Pyongyang in 24 years, held a summit meeting with Chairman Kim. He signed the ‘Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.’ However, this visit to North Korea opened new horizons for productive cooperation between North Korea and Russia in various fields. He reiterated his invitation to North Korea's Chairman Kim Jong-un to visit Moscow, hoping constructive dialogue and close collaboration between Russia and North Korea will continue. Meanwhile, South Korea's National Security Office Director Jang Ho-jin warned at a press conference on the 23rd that if Russia provides high-precision weapons to North Korea, South Korea will give weapons to Ukraine. During the Korean War, Russia was an essential party that devastated the Korean Peninsula in a bloody war and provided the decisive factor in the division of North and South Korea. The core of the treaty signed with North Korea to plan another military conflict on the Korean Peninsula is that "if war breaks out, the armies of both countries will automatically intervene," and it is said that it also included a clause providing military support without delay in case of emergency.

Heavenly Father, during the three years of fighting during the Korean War, approximately 500,000 soldiers and civilians, equivalent to 2% of the population at the time, were killed. The country was devastated, but thanks to God's blessings, today's Republic of Korea has become a solid and prosperous country worldwide. Our people pray for the unification of North and South Korea in peace under God's guidance, not through war. Please cause the communist regime in North Korea to collapse. We pray that the collapsed altars of prayer and worship in North Korea's churches will be restored and that the country will be unified again in the service of God. “The Lord has brought to nothing the counsels of nations and has made the thoughts of nations null and void. The counsels of the Lord stand forever; his thoughts endure to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people chosen for God’s inheritance.” ( Psalm 33:10-12) Please give Korean church leaders and believers the strength to follow these words and serve God properly, pray for unification with the love of the cross, and live a life of faith fully in each position. Please pour out the Holy Spirit on the church of God so that we can live the life of the Word.

Father God!

On the 24th, North Korea released waste balloons against South Korea for the fifth time this year, causing damage mainly in the northern region of Gyeonggi Province. Previously, the Coalition for a Free North Korea announced that on the 20th, it had launched 20 large balloons containing leaflets, portable storage devices (USBs), and one-dollar bills in ​​Paju, Gyeonggi Province. In a statement on the 21st, North Korea's Kim Yo-jong criticized South Korea for the distribution of anti-North Korea leaflets by North Korean defector groups.

Heavenly Father, we pray that the Kim Jong-un regime and its idol, which has called itself the sun god for three generations, will fall. Please cause the communist regime in North Korea to fall quickly and achieve a unified Korea. Please unify us through the Gospel, rebuild the worship altars of the collapsed churches in North Korea, and make them a place to worship God. “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are attentive to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who work wickedly to cut off their tracks from the earth.” The righteous cry, and the LORD hears and takes them out of all their troubles. “He delivered me” (Psalm 34:15,16). Please listen to the pleas of North Korean believers who are mourning in the darkness and praying for the Lord's kingdom to come, and please answer the prayers of South Korean churches and believers who are praying for unification. In particular, please help the churches and believers in South Korea repent and intercede for the unification of the country and people and the church's restoration. Please bless the intercessors still praying in their closets for your kingdom and righteousness to be established in the Republic of Korea, and please answer their prayers.

Father God!

The Korean Medical Association (KMA), which declared an ‘indefinite hiatus’ from June 27th, announced that its future direction of struggle would be decided at the ‘Special Committee for Proper Medical Care (All Special Committee)’ meeting scheduled for the 29th. They said there would be no ‘comprehensive’ indefinite closure but that plans would be discussed at the pan-medical community consultative body. However, the Korean Medical Association said in a press release on the 24th, “We support and respect the decision to suspend professors at Yonsei University Medical Center starting on the 27th.” “Doctors in all departments will participate in the struggle for temporary closure as soon as they complete their preparations.” He said, “The future struggle will proceed by the decision made at the second meeting of the Special Committee on the 29th.”

Heavenly Father, we pray for the ongoing medical crisis. Please let the chaos in the medical field end and the right policy be established. Many doctors resigned in protest against the expansion of medical schools amid conflicting opinions between residents and the government. Please help the government and medical community ensure that patients who are suffering can receive treatment. “By counsel, a plan is accomplished; by strategy and warfare” (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 where patients who have committed perjury are losing their lives because they cannot find an emergency room that can treat them. 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 difficulties and side effects from the unfortunate situation of patients.

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 in 2024. 

We thank God for pouring the oil of the Holy Spirit on the Holy Spirit-filled prayer meeting centered on CWMI members held at the Korean branch of Ebenezer Church on June 4-5 and working to make the fire of the Holy Spirit burn. We thank the Holy Spirit for guiding us through this meeting to pray and gather strength for the Aliyah project and the mercy ministry.

We plan a seminar for Korean missionaries in Israel from September 23rd to 30th. Please bless us so that the doors that have been shrunk due to Israel's war will be wide open, and please keep the instructors and all attendees solid and safe with the Holy Spirit.

# 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. 

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. Bless the ICC Church and the Virginia House of Prayer for the Nations (VHOP). Thank you for allowing us to make the recent 'Prayer Video' to pray for the fulfillment of the Bible and the video to convey "God's Time and Israel". Many videos that can be used as data to inform Israel are spread so people can discern the time of this era and pray with the Bible in their closets.

Above all supplication, I (we) pray in the name of Yeshua Messiah. 

Finish with God’s prayer. Amen.
