Prayer for the Restoration of Israel and Nations      

11/06-11/12/24>

'I love you, Lord , my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I called to the Lord , who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies. '

(Psalms 18:1-3)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

1. Father God!

On November 1, the Israeli cabinet approved the 2025 budget. Due to the past year-long war, military spending has increased to billions of dollars. Economic growth is paralyzed due to the lack of workforce and investment, the absence of tens of thousands of reservists serving in Gaza and Lebanon, and the absence of thousands of Palestinian workers and most foreign workers for security reasons, which has paralyzed the technology, construction, agriculture, and tourism industries. This budget must be passed by the end of March 2025 or early elections will be held.

Father God, we thank you for protecting Israel’s economic growth amidst the 396 days of war and for the budget for next year to be established and approved. Please help the budget pass successfully in next year’s Knesset, stabilize the government, and ensure the elections are held on time. Please help the war to end quickly and help the people of the southern Gaza border towns and northern Lebanese border areas to return to their homes and live stable lives, and work to restore economic activity and restore the land. “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘I have sworn, Surely the nations that are around you will bear their shame. But you, O mountains of Israel, will sprout branches and bear fruit for my people Israel, for the time of their coming is near. And I will turn with you, and you will be plowed and planted, and I will multiply upon you—the whole family of Israel—and I will make cities inhabited and build on the empty land. I will multiply upon you both men and beasts; I will make them numerous and fruitful. I will settle you in your former estates and do better for you than at your beginnings. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” (Ezekiel 36:11) Please quickly rebuild the houses destroyed by enemy bombing, cultivate all the lands, and let the abundance of the promised word of the Lord overflow as a blessing.

2. Father God!

Israeli military sources said on Monday that the IDF had increased its alert and preparedness in preparation for Iran’s retaliation for recent Israeli airstrikes. At the same time, the Israeli Air Force is on high alert, focusing on its control and air defense systems. In addition, hundreds of US troops operating the US “THAAD” missile defense system supporting Israel are working closely with the Israeli military to assess the scale of Iran’s retaliatory options. In response, 52 fighter jets have arrived to assist Israel in its war against Iran. The IDF said it does not rule out the possibility that Iran will respond in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and elsewhere, as well as attempts to target high-ranking Israeli officials at home and abroad. The IDF said it is strategically strengthening its detection, warning, air defense, intelligence, and operational systems within its General Staff.

Father God, in this situation of war and terrorism, we declare that war belongs to the Lord, and we pray with the prophetic words recorded in Psalm 83.

'O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God. See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads. With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.” With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you— the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites, Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre. Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot’s descendants. Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground. Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, who said, “Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.” Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like chaff before the wind. As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze, so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm. Cover their faces with shame, Lord , so that they will seek your name. May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace. Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord — that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.'

While Iran and Israel are warning of a war of retaliation, we support Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi terrorist group in Yemen. Please punish Iran, which is threatening to destroy Israel from the face of the earth and continue to attack Israel. “Israel will be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you will never be put to shame or disgrace.” (Isaiah 45:17). According to this verse, we are grateful that the Lord God will save Israel. Please protect and help the Israeli soldiers on the battlefield. Also, please preserve and protect the citizens from Hamas agents who continue to commit terrorism within Israel. Please help those who are injured by terrorism to heal well and help the wounded soldiers and civilians to receive complete treatment and recovery. “For you are holy, O Lord, enthroned in the praises of Israel.” (Psalm 22:3). We praise the holy God of Israel.

3. Father God!

On November 4, the Israel Defense Forces targeted Hezbollah’s intelligence facility south of Damascus, killing Mahmoud Mohammed Shahin, the head of the intelligence service who took up the post in 2007 and led intelligence and air defense capabilities in alliance with the Syrian regime and Iran. Hezbollah intelligence chiefs Hussein Ali Hajime and Hashem Safieddin, who were in charge of Hezbollah’s eastern outskirts and south of the city after the assassination of Nasrallah, were also killed along with several pro-Iranian militia fighters, the statement said. The Israeli Air Force also killed Riad Ridda Ghazawi, the commander of Hezbollah’s Radwan anti-tank missile system, in an airstrike in the Sultaniyah area in southern Lebanon. The Israeli Air Force reported that a high-ranking Hamas terrorist boss, Izz Arin Kasab, was killed in an airstrike in Gaza.

Father God, we thank you for the Israeli army fighting to remove the leadership of Hamas and Hezbollah and to destroy their regimes. Please work for Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists to surrender entirely and come forward and for the war to end. Please find the 101 hostages currently remaining in Gaza and open the way for them to return. The weather is getting colder and rainy after the Feast of Tabernacles. Please protect the health and safety of the soldiers on the battlefield. We pray that the people of Gaza and Lebanon who have been displaced from their homes and are living in pain due to war under the evil Hamas, as well as the people of northern Israel and the Israelis along the Gaza border, will soon be able to live in stability. Please comfort the parents who have lost their young sons who went to the military for the sake of the peace of the country and the families who have lost their husbands and fathers.

4. Father God!

On the evening of November 4, Defense Minister Yoav Galant discussed recruiting Redi with the Chief of Staff and military officers and approved the issuance of 7,000 additional conscription orders for Orthodox Jewish Haredim. Minister Galant reported that “Israel at war needs more soldiers for the IDF, and this is a real operational need that requires a broad national mobilization from all levels of society.” The Haredi brigade is called “Hasmonaim” and is intended to enable Haredi to enlist in combat while maintaining their way of life.

Father God, as the drafting of Haredim religious and active members of the military, took shape; there were protests and demonstrations throughout the entire recruitment process. Defense Minister Galant approved the drafting of Haredim troops in a country in the midst of actual war. As some Haredim have enlisted in the military and served together on battlefields, may the hearts of all the people become one as Orthodox Jews fulfill their military duty as citizens of Israel and unite to protect the land and people that God has promised. Please give courage to the religious youth who mostly avoid the military and insist on prayer and Yeshiva school to become warriors who protect and serve the country.

5. Father God!

On the evening of November 5, Prime Minister Netanyahu dismissed Minister of Defense Galant, who had approved the draft of 7,000 Orthodox Jewish Haredim, and appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs Tats to the position of Minister of Defense. Gideon Saar is expected to be appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Father God, Minister Galant, who had served as Minister of Defense since the October 7 war, was dismissed due to political trends, and the new Minister of Defense, Israel Tats, took over. Currently, there is a war between Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah on the Lebanese border, and a retaliatory war with Iran is expected this week. Please give wisdom and discernment to Minister Tats, newly appointed Minister of Defense. “Though one may be overpowered, two can withstand it; a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). Please help him handle this situation well with the military generals and soldiers, who are in one mind, one heart, one mind, and one soul. May the government, the military, and the people become more humble, pray to God, and rely on and trust only in God.

6. Father God!

All the idols that defiled Israel and the temple of Jerusalem are destroyed in the name of Yeshua. All the evil deeds of the pagans in the Valley of the Hinnom and the foreign gods in the Valley of Kidron are confronted in the name of Yeshua and are consumed by the fire of the Holy Spirit. We declare that Jerusalem is covered with the blood of Yeshua and 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 that Solomon established to proclaim 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!

7. 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.

'Let the assembled peoples gather around you, while you sit enthroned over them on high. Let the Lord judge the peoples. Vindicate me, Lord , according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts. '

(Psalms 7:7-9)

1. Father God!

Since the 28th of last month, a year's worth of rainfall has poured down in just 8 hours in the Valencia region of Spain, the streets are covered in mud, and many cars have overturned. On the night of the 2nd, more than 214 people died amidst the river overflowing, bridges breaking, and power and water outages. The Spanish government is deploying over 10,000 military and police personnel to rescue survivors and restore the area, but the death toll is increasing. On the 3rd (local time), when King Felipe VI of Spain and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez visited the flood-stricken area of ​​Paiporta, angry citizens staged a protest, hurling insults such as "murderers, XX dogs." They also threw mud and objects, expressing their intense anger.

Father God, we are experiencing significant difficulties in Spain, especially as we hear about great disasters such as floods due to abnormal weather worldwide. Please comfort and show mercy to the Spanish people who have lost their homes and families and are in sorrow and hardship due to the excellent flood damage. “You who have shown us great hardships, you will revive us and bring us up again from the depths of the earth” (Psalm 71:20). Like the confession of the psalmist’s prayer, let the suffering and angry residents seek God as their help and come to God as our help with hope. And let all the people of the nations living in this age realize and know that God rules and governs all things and all weather, and let them come to the Lord. Through the disasters that cannot be done by human power, let them come to God, the ruler, and master of all things in the universe. We realize that all these natural disasters caused by climate change are the beginning of disasters and signal that the Lord’s coming is near. Please let us see these things, repent, come to our senses, and become awake and sober. Please let us long for the kingdom of God of peace and justice, ruled by the Lord, who rules and governs all things in the universe. Prepare for the Lord to come, stay awake and pray, look only to the perfect Lord, and live the life of a saint of words and prayer.

2. Father God!

#. Since the US withdrawal in the summer of 2021, the Taliban, which recaptured Afghanistan, have stopped educating girls and banned women from many public places. In August, they enacted a new law requiring women to cover their entire bodies, including their faces, when going out. They have continued to expand restrictions on women’s rights, including the passage of laws prohibiting women from singing or reading loudly, even in their homes, and from making noise while on the phone or in public places. “Living in Afghanistan is extremely painful for us as women. The old Afghanistan has been forgotten, and they oppress us and torture us every day,” An Afghan woman from Kabul told The Telegraph.

#. On November 2, international media reports and footage showed a female student at the Faculty of Science and Research at Tehran’s Islamic Azad University being beaten by security forces for violating strict modesty laws and wearing the hijab improperly before being violently arrested and detained after stripping off her clothes in protest. Amnesty International Iran said, “The Iranian authorities must immediately and unconditionally release the violently arrested university students.” In August, 31-year-old Arezu Badri was caught driving with her hair exposed by the police in Iran and was shot while trying to escape, leaving her paralyzed.

Father God, in Afghanistan, women’s rights are being destroyed by new laws that restrict their rights, prohibit them from receiving education, require them to cover their faces and bodies, and forbid them from speaking on the phone in public places. In Iran, there are also reports of women being brutally assaulted and losing their lives for not wearing the hijab. Please guide Iranian youth to find the proper consciousness of the times and the correct truth regarding the human rights of young female university students who are under such oppression and abuse. Please let the young generation of Iran come into the light of life and let the history of finding and meeting Yeshua, the Way, the Truth, and the Life take place. Please work the Holy Spirit so that we realize that the Creator God is in control of history and come to God. Please shine a light on the land of darkness.

Father God, let us pray together for the Islamic countries of this land. Please have mercy on those who live as Muslims, bound by tradition and heredity, even though they may not know that it is a wrong religion. Please give them eyes to see Yeshua, the way, the truth, and the life, and open their ears to hear the gospel. Please force the Holy Spirit of God to destroy all the spirits of darkness that bind them with the love of Yeshua on the cross who died for all the sins of the world and with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Please anoint them with the Holy Spirit, especially among the local churches and Muslim brothers and sisters, so that they will not be ashamed of the Lord Jesus and the gospel but will have bold faith and rise as a strong Christian community that will destroy the spiritual stronghold filled with the spirit of Islam.

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

'Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” '

(Jeremiah 29:7)

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

1. Father God!

In the most extensive investigation into human trafficking allegations in state-licensed establishments, more than 200 officers raided nine establishments in the Houston area of ​​Texas, rescuing 84 victims. “The success of this operation was due to careful investigation, undercover work, and collaboration by our Human Trafficking Rescue Coalition partners. Human trafficking is a stain on our society. Unfortunately, it is more widespread than most Texans realize,” said Kevin Lilly, president and CEO. “However, we must let the American people know that this horrific crime is happening, and it is not about any one party. It is about humanity.”

Father, we thank you for the rescue of young human trafficking victims in the Houston area. The open environment of our southern border is where human trafficking cartels operate. This is not the American dream for our children and sisters but a horrific nightmare where young women are subjected to horrendous treatment and sexual abuse. “The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know when they stumble.” (Prov. 4:19). We pray that those who do not realize how evil these human trafficking practices are and who buy and sell people, especially children and women, will wake up and repent. “Throughout the city of Jerusalem, the Lord said, ‘Put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are being committed in it.’” (Ezek. 9:4). With these words, may the knees of intercession and prayer rise so that the people of God may sigh over these abominations and pray with tears. Thank you for revealing these evil works of darkness and allowing us to pray through the work of saving these people.

2. Father God!

The election results have been finalized, and mail-in election results are being processed in each state. Please ensure that all mail-in ballot counting procedures are conducted fairly and without fraud and that the results are complete. “Therefore now say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord Almighty: ‘I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people Israel. I was with you wherever you went, and I cut off all your enemies from before you.’” (2 Sam. 7:8-9) After the U.S. presidential election and the major House and Senate elections, please allow all evidence of voter fraud to be accepted and adjudicated and remove those who repeatedly violate the law. Please empower the new president you are establishing in all this country does and bring him back to the rule of law. Empower the new administration to do all that is necessary for the nation's affairs to move forward with biblical values, work to make America one in purpose, and be the right leaders so that God’s will can be fully accomplished in this country. Make those elected fear and serve the Lord, and make them workers who work to restore America to a nation that pleases the Lord. Let America be reestablished as a nation that fully serves the Lord, spreads the gospel to the nations, and shares the love of God’s truth.

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

'So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. '

(1 Thessalonians 5:6-8)

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

1. Father God!

The Joint Chiefs of Staff announced on the 4th that it had completed the construction of anti-tank obstacles, including a 5m bottomless pit and an 11m high earthen rampart, on the Gyeongui Line and Donghae Line inter-Korean connecting roads that North Korea blew up last month. A Joint Chiefs of Staff official said, “After the North Korean military blew up the inter-Korean connecting roads, they deployed 300-400 personnel and heavy equipment such as excavators to the Gyeongui Line and Donghae Line each day and completed the work by the 2nd.” It is also said that North Korea has confirmed that it took a picture of the North Korean flag planted on the earthen wall built on the Donghae Line on the 1st and then removed it. In addition, Kim Yo-jong, Vice Director of the Workers’ Party and younger sister of North Korean State Affairs Commission Chairman Kim Jong-un, spoke about the international community’s criticism of the test launch of the new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the Hwasongpo-19 (Hwasong-19). They are protesting that they will not give up their nuclear weapons reinforcement line, saying, “There can be no change in course.”

Father God, North Korea’s provocations are becoming more and more threatening to South Korea by the day. Last month, they destroyed a road 10m from the Military Demarcation Line. They built a pit and a fort where they blew up part of the Military Demarcation Line section of the Gyeongui Line and Donghae Line, connecting roads between the South and the North. They are not only wholly blocking the connection between the South and the North by constructing anti-tank obstacles, but they are also test-firing a new missile, the Hwasongpo-19, and saying that they will not give up their nuclear weapons reinforcement line. Due to the recklessness of the Kim Jong-un regime, they are constantly pushing South Korea and the world into the threat of war. Please stop the North Korean Kim Jong-un regime from pushing for unification by force and open the way for unification through the gospel. Please pour out the Holy Spirit so that the churches of South Korea, praying and waiting for unification through the gospel, can wake up and seek to fill their prayer vessels for unification. “Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God.” (Psalm 146:5). According to this verse, let us become a people who have only the God of Jacob, the LORD God, for help and hope. Please work with God so that the South and the North can be united through the gospel and become a Christian unified nation, a missionary Korea, and an advanced Korea. Please hear the tearful prayers of the North Korean believers and let the fallen churches in North Korea be established everywhere so that the day will come when we can worship the Lord to our hearts’ content. Please let the Korean church become a generation that awakens the world's nations and prepares and welcomes the way of the Lord, who will come again in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

2. Father God!

On November 2, the Incheon Queer Culture Festival was held in the Bupyeong Station area of ​​Bupyeong-gu, Incheon Metropolitan City, with approximately 400 people gathered. The event occurred in the middle of the Bupyeong Market Rotary Road, which can be used without a permit by simply reporting the gathering to the police. The main event, which began at 2 p.m., disparaged Christianity and even pointed out that the recent '10.27 Korean Church 2 Million Joint Worship and Great Prayer Meeting' was a 'waste of social finances.' Mr. Somo, a party to the ruling on same-sex partner health insurance dependents, went up on stage and pointed to the church's electronic billboard opposing same-sex marriage. "We are promoting our victory in the same-sex couple health insurance dependents case." Among the events that day, Pastor Lee Dong-hwan, who was excommunicated from the Korean Methodist Church after blessing a sexual minority, appeared at the 'Blessing Ceremony for Sexual Minorities.' He declared, "I bless everyone here in the name of the God I believe in."

Father God, homosexuals pushed ahead with the Queer Festival in Incheon despite opposition from the citizens. Please have mercy on those who do not hesitate to use excessive exposure and provocative elements, as well as to promote homosexuality and confuse children and adolescents whose sexual identity has not yet been established. They are destroying and denying the order of creation that God created. However, without adequately realizing how great a sin it is against God, they are instead greatly criticizing the worship and prayer meeting that Korean churches held together on October 27 to oppose the Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination Act.

Father God, please pour out the spirit of repentance on the churches and pastors of the Republic of Korea. Because they are not properly raised with the Word of God, there are cases of support for homosexuality among believers and even more incomprehensible cases of pastors blessing sexual minorities in the name of God. “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) He clearly said that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. Please pour the grace to restore the kingdom as a royal priesthood for believers. Please let believers seek the kingdom and righteousness of God with one heart and pray for the nation and people. Let us pray together, especially that the next generation will be protected from homosexuality. Please let the next generation be established as those who display God's glory and be used as workers as children of God who are set apart for holiness. As the day of the Lord’s coming draws near, I fervently pray that the Korean church will repent, stand anew, and become a nation that spreads the gospel of the kingdom of heaven to all countries.

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