Prayer for the Restoration of Israel and Nations      

9/4-9/11/24>

'He did miracles in the sight of their ancestors in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan. He divided the sea and led them through; he made the water stand up like a wall. '

(Psalms 78:12-13)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

Father God!

On the afternoon of August 31, Israeli forces found the bodies of six hostages in a 20-meter-deep tunnel in Rafah, southern Gaza, and transported them to Israel early on September 1. A military spokesman said that at the time, they were fighting terrorists on the ground in the tunnel and that the six hostages who died were killed by Hamas a day or two before the troops arrived at the tunnel. The deaths of the hostages led to a nationwide strike by businesses and protests across Israel, demanding an immediate compromise in the hostage negotiations. Prime Minister Netanyahu told the families of the six hostages, “I apologize for not being able to bring them home alive. We were close, but we were not able to.” “I am working day and night, looking for every possible way,” he stressed. He said that efforts would be made to bring the remaining 101 hostages back to Israel. He insisted that "as many live hostages as possible must be returned" and has now increased the number to 23 in Phase 1. He explained that he estimates that about 66 captives are still alive.

Father God, We declare that all this war belongs to Jehovah God, and we continue to pray to God who protects Israel with the words of Psalm 78:5-11.

'He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands. They would not be like their ancestors— a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him. The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned back on the day of battle; they did not keep God’s covenant and refused to live by his law. They forgot what he had done, the wonders he had shown them. '

Father God!

* On August 31, the Israeli military attempted to detonate a car bomb in Gush Etzion and Karmei Zur in the West Bank. Both vehicles were detonated with explosives inside, and both terrorists were killed.

* On Sunday, September 1, three Hebron police officers were killed in a terrorist attack at the Tarqumiya checkpoint. One of the attackers was the father of Mor Shakuri, 29, a police officer who was killed on October 7 while defending Sderot from a Hamas attack. Mor Shakuri was preparing to marry his fiancé David Pokal at the time.

* The military reported that on Monday, IAF aircraft struck an armed terrorist group that fired on IDF forces during an anti-terror operation in Tulkarm. Hezbollah affiliate Al-Mayadeen reported, citing a statement from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, that they had collaborated with local terrorists in the attack on Israeli forces and that one Palestinian was killed.

* Mediation between the US, Egypt, and Qatar for the release of the hostages continues in Cairo. Israel is demanding the release of 23 to 33 of the 101 hostages in the first phase of the deal. It is proposing a ceasefire with Israeli forces remaining in the Philadelphia corridor from Kerem Shalom [Crossing] on the Egyptian border to the sea. Hamas, on the other hand, continues to insist on a complete ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal.

Father God, the bodies of six hostages have been recovered by Israeli forces from a tunnel in Rafah on the Egyptian border. In response, there have been strong protests in and around Tel Aviv by the hostage families and citizens, holding Prime Minister Netanyahu, the government, and the military responsible for the delay in negotiations that led to their deaths. Please comfort the families who have been grieving and all of the Israeli people, and please rule Hamas so that the hostages can be released quickly and the war with Hamas can end. Please protect the lives of the remaining hostages and open the way for their return quickly. Please comfort the families of the hostages, the families of the soldiers who were sacrificed, and their colleagues and neighbors. Please quickly eliminate the evil Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza Strip and drive out Hezbollah from the northern Lebanese border and the Lebanese border. Please protect and protect the lives of Israeli citizens from the terrorism that is happening inside Israel. Please help the civilians who were injured in the war and terrorism and the soldiers who were wounded on the battlefield to be treated well and recover healthily.

Father God, please do not leave alone the evil of Hamas, who started the war out of ignorance and used the Gazans as human shields, and the evil of holding Israelis hostage and killing 6 of them. Please rule over the Hamas terrorist group with Your justice and free the prisoners. Please have mercy on the Gazans who have left their homes and are living on the move due to the war, protect the lives of the hostages who are being held captive, and lead them back home alive. We pray that the Hamas terrorist armed groups will raise their hands and surrender and that the land will be healed. In this war situation, polio is spreading, so we are vaccinating. Please have mercy on the children, and protect not only the Gazans in that land but also the Israeli soldiers who are fighting for peace in that land from the spreading of polio, and keep them healthy.

Father God, please rule over the evil of Hamas' ignorance in causing war and using Gazans as human shields. Please have mercy on the Gazans who have left their homes and are living on the move due to the war so that Hamas' terrorist armed groups will raise their hands and surrender and come forward, and healing will come to the land. In this war situation, polio is spreading, so we are vaccinating. Please have mercy on the children, and protect not only the Gazans in that land but also the Israeli soldiers who are fighting for peace in that land from the spreading of polio, and keep them healthy.

Father God!

We praise the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, who protects Israel and gives her victory in war. We pray that you purify Jerusalem for the holy name of God the Father. We destroy all the idols that have defiled the temple of Jerusalem in the name of Yeshua. We oppose all the evil deeds of the pagans in the Valley of the Hinnom and the foreign gods in the Valley of Kidron in the name of Yeshua and burn them with the fire of the Holy Spirit. Covered with the blood of Yeshua, we declare that Jerusalem will be purified in the mighty name of Yeshua. The altar of Abraham on Mount Moriah will be restored. The altar of the burnt offering on the threshing floor of Araunah of David will be erected. The temple established through Solomon, proclaiming peace, will be established as a house of prayer for all peoples, and worship will be restored! Glory be to the holy Jehovah God alone. We declare that the complete restoration of Jerusalem will be accomplished in the name of the Messiah Yeshua, who will come again!

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.

'Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity. The seas have lifted up, Lord , the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea— the Lord on high is mighty. Your statutes, Lord , stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days.'

(Psalms 93:2-5)

Father God!

On September 1, Turkish authorities detained 15 Turkish suspects after a mob from the anti-American youth group the Turkish Youth Alliance attacked two U.S. Marines who had arrived in Izmir aboard the USS Wasp after completing joint training with the Turkish Navy, the governor of Izmir said. The group posted a video showing the two Marines being beaten in the head, with bags placed over them, and shouting, “Yankee, go home.” A White House spokesperson said the two soldiers had returned to their base unharmed and expressed concern about the assault, saying, “We are grateful that the Turkish police are taking this matter seriously and holding those responsible accountable.”

Father God, we thank you for the U.S. Navy soldiers who had completed joint training with the Turkish military and were beaten and attacked by anti-American youth from the Turkish Youth Alliance but returned home unharmed and unharmed. Please grant Turkey, which has an anti-Israel policy toward Israel, the proper discernment and the right political policy in its relationship with the United States. Since the Hamas war, Turkey has suspended all flights to Israel. “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3). Please understand this word and turn Turkey away from anti-Semitism. Please turn Israel into a nation that blesses and is blessed! Please stop the anti-Semitism that is happening in the countries. Please let Turkey and all the nations of the Middle East and all the nations realize that God is fulfilling His word to Israel in this generation.

Father God!

Typhoon Sansan, which started last week, has hit southwestern Japan. On September 3, a Yayoi cedar tree with a height of 26.1m and a circumference of 8.1m, said to have lived 3,000 years since the Yayoi period, the Bronze and Iron Age of Japan, fell on Yakushima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture. Typhoon Sansan, the 10th typhoon to hit Kyushu and Shikoku, is heading north toward central Honshu. The typhoon's central pressure is 998hPa (hectopascals), and winds near the typhoon's center are blowing at a maximum wind speed of 18m/s and a maximum instantaneous wind speed of 25m/s. It is passing through Japan, bringing heavy local rain to various places. The casualties from Typhoon Sansan were six deaths, one missing, and 127 injured. Approximately 860 houses were damaged in Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture, southern Kyushu.

Father God, due to Typhoon Sansan passing through Japan, the entire country of Japan is suffering from flood damage and wind damage. This is the land where the gospel of God was preached early and where the blood of many missionaries was shed.

However, it is said that the Japanese people do not follow the word of God and worship various idols of 8 million people. Please help the Japanese people realize and understand God, who rules over all things in the universe through natural disasters such as earthquakes and Typhoon Sansan that occur frequently and return to God. In particular, many churches in Korea send missionaries and pray for the land and people to return to the Lord. “From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations; his glory is above the heavens.” (Psalm 113:3,4) According to this verse, please help Japan, the land where the sun rises in the east, to return to God and become a nation that praises the Lord, who is high above all nations. Please have mercy on Japan and give them the wisdom to realize the Holy Spirit and return to God.

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

'Children are a heritage from the Lord , offspring a reward from him. '

(Psalms 127:3)

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

Father God!

The Arkansas Supreme Court has ruled against a ballot measure that would have put abortion rights on the November ballot. In a 4-3 majority opinion, the justices said the state Attorney General’s Office had correctly refused to count signatures because paid signature gatherers failed to file paperwork as required by law. Also, in Missouri, a state that will vote on abortion policy this election, lawmakers and activists have filed lawsuits to nullify abortion ballot measures. The new lawsuit seeks to repeal a ballot measure that would have established abortion rights in the Missouri Constitution. Amendment 3 opens the door “to taxpayers paying for abortions and gender-reassigning surgeries.” “We are united in our fight against this insidious amendment that would allow abortions in the seventh, eighth and ninth months of pregnancy." But those who want to follow the values ​​of the Bible and the policies of progressive governments that oppress churches are spending vast sums of money on paid signature gatherers in several states. They have put forth a pro-abortion ballot initiative with tens or even millions of signatures, representing 10-15% of the registered voters. Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, and South Dakota are also holding referendums in November to enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions.

Father God, Arkansas currently prohibits abortion at any time during pregnancy except when the life of the mother is at risk. Thank you for upholding this law and stopping the bleeding of voiceless lives through abortion. “For you formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are your works, my soul knows it very well” (Psalm 139:13-14). We thank you that God is the Sovereign of life, as you have said. We thank God for the opportunity to stop the bloodshed of abortion in this land by raising conservative judges to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022, which allowed abortion under federal law up to 24 weeks, and for allowing each state to set its abortion policy. We thank God for many states turning to laws banning abortion across the board, saving the lives of many unborn babies. God for preventing this from happening in Arkansas and for preventing states from voting for abortion. We pray that the church will continue to pray for life, repent, and turn to the Lord so that the sin of bloodshed will end in America.

Father God!

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has written to Rep. Jim Jordan, a member of the House Judiciary Committee. He said senior Biden administration officials had “repeatedly pressured” Meta to “censor” content. Zuckerberg admitted that they had pressured him to censor content related to COVID-19 and that Facebook had misrepresented the contents of Biden’s son Hunter’s laptop ahead of the 2020 election. The New York Post’s report on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop contains thousands of emails between the president’s son and business partners. It was later used as evidence in court, showing how Hunter Biden used his political access to cover foreign business deals. We repent for falsely misleading the public about the facts, and we thank you for bringing them to light, even if it was late.

# Father God, thank you for exposing the censorship of the press by sending a letter to Congress reminding the public of the details of Zuckerberg’s crackdown on COVID-19 misinformation and the time he asked Congress to slow the spread of the New York Post article about Hunter Biden’s laptop. “For nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or concealed that will not be known” (Luke 12:2). Please continue to report only the truth in all media and social media, and give people wisdom and discernment to discern right from wrong. Please help America fulfill her mission, keep and spread the faith, and not be corrupted by the New World Order.

Father God!

May an American president be established who respects the truth of the Bible and protects America’s founding principles and constitutional values. “A king establishes his land with justice” (Proverbs 29:4). As you said, may there be a president who will lead America with justice and a majority of the Senate and House of Representatives working with him. May Christian voters be empowered to uphold God’s word through voting rights. May all officials, including the National Election Commission, act in justice and fairness during the election process without manipulating public opinion or fraud. We see that the mainstream media is currently creating false public opinion polls. May the media report election issues with fairness and honesty, without bias. May the people have the right to discern and judge the false propaganda that abortion is an individual’s freedom and individual right, and may a president worthy of God be established. Please let America become a nation that spreads the light of God's word to countries with the correct values ​​as Christian nations.

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

'The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. '

(Psalms 145:17-20)

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

Father God!

On September 3, the Christian Methodist Missionary Department (General Secretary Rev. Tae Dong-hwa) published the ‘North Korean Defector Missionary Material Collection for Evangelization of North Korean Defectors and Preparation for North Korean Mission in the Era of Unification.’ To focus the North Korean missionary work on North Korea, it is essential to first take care of the North Korean people in South Korea, especially the nearly 200 North Korean defector pastors and seminarians and the 90 or so North Korean defector churches and believers who are the fruits of North Korean missionary work so that they can become the leading players in North Korean missionary work in the future. According to the North Korean Human Rights Information Center’s North Korea Religious Freedom White Paper, out of approximately 30,000 North Korean defectors in South Korea, 41% are Christians, and, surprisingly, four out of ten of these people who received a thorough education in Juche ideology were converted in South Korea.

Father God, we pray for and bless the North Korean defector pastors, churches, and seminarians who risked their lives to defect in complex and challenging situations, settle in South Korea, believe in God, and spread the gospel of Yeshua. Please help North Korean defectors wash away all the pain and wounds they received in North Korea and realize and understand God’s love and grace in the free Republic of Korea, where they have found freedom, and grant them salvation. Please prepare North Korean pastors and seminarians who believe in and are thankful for Jesus and spread the gospel of life to North Korean defectors as strong and courageous warriors who hope for unified Korean and North Korean missions. Please especially pity the North Korean people who are still suffering in North Korea. Please collapse the three-generation Juche ideology of Kim Jong-un, who succeeded Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il and is in the place of God, and let the day come quickly when the pain of the North Korean people who have suffered and been wounded under the evil hereditary politics is wrapped up with the blessing of unification that the Lord gives. Please remember the suffering North Korean people and quickly open the 38th parallel in the Lord’s peace. Lord, please tear down the 38th parallel wall with your mighty hand and work so that churches that want to evangelize North Korea can join forces with churches of defectors to achieve free unification. Please spread the gospel of God to all nations and, especially in the last days, make the unified Republic of Korea a nation that makes Israel jealous, shining the light on all countries and preparing the way for the Lord to come. Please make the Republic of Korea a nation that has believed in God reasonably in the last few days and a nation that reveals the glory of God and becomes a light to the countries of the world.

Father God!

A month has passed since the floods in North Korea. However, recovery has not yet occurred, and large-scale tent villages for flood victims are still being operated in some areas, including North Pyongan Province and Chagang Province. Kim Jong-un, who had publicly and strongly criticized South Korean media reports that estimated the number of deaths and casualties from the recent floods at 1,000 to 1,500, tried to blame the public sentiment caused by this significant flood on external factors. Regarding the fact that the international community has not responded at all to flood recovery assistance, a State Department spokesperson made the following announcement to VOA on August 1 regarding North Korea’s flood recovery assistance: “I hope that North Korea will promptly allow international humanitarian workers to return to North Korea.”

Father God, it is said that many flood victims in North Korea are living in communal evacuation tents, and public health is not being maintained, so they are suffering from poverty and infectious diseases. Even in these difficult circumstances, please rule over the Kim Jong-un regime, which is preparing for war by using a lot of materials for weapons and nuclear development, preparing for an invasion, and not caring for its people.

Father God, please hear the prayers that pray for the unification of the South and the North in peace under God’s guidance, not in war. Please let the day come quickly when the North Korean communist regime collapses, and the tearful prayers of North Korean believers are answered. We pray that the prayers and altars of worship of the fallen churches in North Korea will be restored and the country will be unified to serve God again. “The Lord nullifies the plans of the nations; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The plans of the Lord stand forever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation. The Lord is his “Blessed is the nation God has chosen, the people he has chosen as his inheritance” (Psalm 33:10-12). According to this Word, so that the Korean church can become a unified nation that serves God, please especially let the church's leaders and believers worship God properly, pray, and live a life of faith in their respective positions. Please let the remaining cup of prayer for unification be filled quickly. Please pour out the Holy Spirit on God’s church and believers so that they can live a life of the Word.

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 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.
