Prayer for the Restoration of Israel and Nations      

1/8-1/14/25>

'And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord , ‘and I will be its glory within.’ “Come, Zion! Escape, you who live in Daughter Babylon!” '

(Zechariah 2:5,7)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

Father God!

# On January 7, the 458th day of the war, the Kfir Brigade of the 162nd Division, together with the Air Force, destroyed a tunnel in northern Gaza after fighting for about three months. They also found weapons and eliminated many Hamas leaders and terrorists, including those involved in the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, and two officers and one soldier were killed in this battle.

# After the New Year of 2025, the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah on the border of Lebanon, and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which are in a ceasefire, launched several missile attacks against Israel. In response, the Israeli military launched air strikes with their defense systems, and in particular, the Israeli and US forces attacked and destroyed Houthi bases in Yemen.

# On January 4, Hamas released a video of 19-year-old Israeli female soldier Riri al-Bagh. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists seized the Gaza Border Guard military base, killing more than 60 soldiers and kidnapping al-Bagh and six other female soldiers.

Father God, we are currently negotiating for 34 of the 100 remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip. In response, Muhammad Sinwar, Yahya Sinwar's younger brother, is delaying the negotiations and demanding only more concessions from Israel. Please hurry up and negotiate for the hostages so that the hostages can be returned, and help all the hostages to be found and returned so that you can comfort and strengthen the parents and families who are waiting in deep pain. Please comfort the parents of the young soldiers who gave their lives to protect their country and their families and the families who lost their husbands and fathers. Please comfort the families and friends of the three people killed and eight injured in the gun attack near Kadumim in the West Bank on the 6th, eliminate the terrorists, and restore the land to peace. We pray that the land of Gaza, which was a former Israeli settlement, will be restored and that the Jews who were forcibly expelled from there will return. Please protect the Israeli soldiers on the battlefield in Gaza and help the wounded to heal quickly. Primarily through the soldiers who believe in Yeshua, may the light of Yeshua's life shine as the light of the north in the unit, and may a history of protection and salvation occur. Please have mercy on the Gazans who have left their homes due to war and are living in pain under the evil Hamas, and please quickly eliminate Hamas. The Israeli military, together with the United States, is attacking and bombing major Houthi bases in Yemen. Please destroy all the military facilities of the terrorist group Houthi through the right strategy and attack, and cut off Iran’s evil schemes and weapons supply in Yemen. “Surely you have delivered me from all troubles; my eyes have seen the retribution of my enemies.” (Psalm 54:7). Thank you for protecting Israel from all troubles according to David’s prayer and showing that you are repaying Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi rebels, including Iran, who are attacking Israel. Let the gospel of Yeshua’s salvation be proclaimed in Israel, Gaza, and the Middle East, and let the Israelis and Arabs return to Jehovah God and become the people who receive the salvation of Yeshua.

Father God!

# Since October 7, 2023, over 20,000 young Jewish diaspora people have volunteered through the Birthright volunteer program. They have volunteered on farms in Sde Yitzhak, northern Israel, planting and harvesting vegetables and packing produce.

# One Heart is mobilizing 10,000 volunteers to rebuild northern Israel, which has been devastated since the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah on the Lebanese border. Over 5,000 people from the Jewish community worldwide are working to provide relief, renovate destroyed homes, and prepare for the return of displaced people. To date, One Heart has mobilized 70,000 volunteers, including 1,300 from 12 countries, to work in 18 command centers in the hard-hit kibbutzim on the Gaza border.

Father God, we thank you for the young Jews who are scattered throughout the world, even amid war, who are returning to their homeland and serving. Please help them not only to correct the identity of Israel but also to understand the word of God’s promise, return, and join in restoring the promised land. "You, O mountains of Israel, will sprout branches and bear fruit for my people, Israel, for their coming is near. I will turn with you and will plow and plant you, and I will multiply people on you—the entire family of Israel—and I will make them settle in cities and build on the empty land. I will multiply people and beasts on you, making them numerous and multiply. I will settle you in your former estate and treat you better than at your beginning. Then you will know that I am the Lord.” (Ezekiel 36:8-11) We believe and pray that God is bringing about the blessing of restoration and prosperity for the land and people of Israel according to His word. “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will remove the Heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to follow my ordinances. And you will live in the land I gave your fathers;, andyou will be my people, and I will be your God.” (Ezekiel 36:26-28) Please fulfill this word. Pour out your Holy Spirit and open their eyes and ears so they can see the Messiah Yeshua whom they have been waiting for, and open their hearts so they can understand and become a saved people.

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!

In the name of Yeshua Messiah, I (we) pray for Israel.

'I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy. Surely the righteous will praise your name, and the upright will live in your presence.'

(Psalms 140:12-13)

Father God!

On January 3, the International Christian Concern (ICC) announced the Global Persecution Index 2025, which ranks the world's worst Christian countries. Among the 20 countries that persecute Christians, North Korea was selected as one of eight countries, along with Nigeria, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Sahel region. North Korea has been ranked as the worst country for persecuting Christians for four consecutive years since 2021. As the world's persecutor of Christians, Chairman Kim Jong-un has suppressed religion, strengthened Juche's ideology, and further deepened the personality cult of the Kim family. In North Korea, all religious activities except for churches run by the regime are prohibited. In addition, even possessing a Bible, praying, or confessing one's faith can result in being sent to a forced labor camp or being executed. Currently, it is known that up to 70,000 people are being detained for their Christian faith.

Father God, “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14). Following this word, please bless the missionaries who spread the gospel of the Lord in the nations, the churches established in the name of the Lord, and the servants of the Lord who serve in each country. We pray that you will protect and bless the children of the Lord who keep their faith and worship God among the countries that persecute Christians in the world. We pray especially that you will rule over North Korea, the world’s largest Christian persecution region. Please collapse the three-generation Juche ideology of Kim Jong-un, who succeeded Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il and is now in the place of God, and have mercy on the North Korean people who are suffering and hurting under the evil hereditary politics. Please let the unification day come quickly so that the wounds and pain can be wrapped up. Please remember the suffering North Korean people and promptly open the 38th parallel to the Lord's peace. Lord, we pray that you will tear down the 38th parallel wall with your mighty hand, cause the North Korean Kim Jong-un communist regime to collapse, and work to achieve free unification. In the last days, may the Republic of Korea spread the gospel of God to all nations, and especially in the last days, may it become the unified Republic of Korea and shine the light of the gospel to all countries. Please let us become a nation of the gospel that prepares the way for the Lord's coming, be used as a nation that reveals the glory of God, and become a light to the countries of the world.

Father God!

On January 7, 2025, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake with a depth of 10 km struck Shigatse, a mountainous region of Tibet under Chinese control and home to the Panchen Lama, killing at least 95 people and injuring 130. The earthquake was one of the deadliest in China in recent years, destroying more than 1,000 homes. All power and water supplies have been cut off, and temperatures have been recorded as low as -8 degrees Celsius, dropping to -18 degrees Celsius in the evening, making life difficult for survivors.

Father God, please have mercy on the people of Shigatse, Tibet, who have lost their homes, families, and friends in the cold weather and are in sorrow and hardship. We pray that help, rescue, and relief will be quickly provided to the survivors who are in the cold without water and electricity. Also, as a Buddhist country, we pray for the safety of missionaries who are spreading the gospel of life, seeing those who were born in places where it is difficult to hear the gospel and lost their lives. We pray that the hands of the Lord's love and support will enter the land of Tibet, which is suffering from the pain of the earthquake, along with the life of the gospel.

Father God, along with the earthquake in Tibet and the cold weather of the winter cold wave that is hitting many countries, we hear news of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the war between the surrounding Israel and Israel. Amid the news of wars against the Kurds in Turkey due to the Syrian civil war, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not afraid. These things must happen, but the end is not yet. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of sorrows.” “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:6-8, 14) Remembering these words, we pray even more for the last days; wow, moving from the beginning of this disaster to the end. Please protect the children of the Lord, and let the gospel of the kingdom be preached quickly to all nations, tribes, peoples, and languages. Let the way for the Lord’s return be prepared and opened. We pray that the day will come when the Lord is proclaimed the perfect ruler and king in the nations, and worship is offered to God the Father. Only the Lord is the king. We praise the Messiah Yeshua, the King of Israel, South Korea, and all the world's nations.

Maranatha! Amen, Lord Yeshua, come. Baruch HaBa Beshem Adonai!

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

'I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. '

(1 Timothy 2:1-2)

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

Father God!

On December 27, WashingtonStand reported that for the past four years, the Biden administration has been working across the government to surveil, censor, and imprison conservative Christian “pro-life, pro-family” citizens. According to a 17,000-page report released by a special subcommittee of the House of Representatives, the FBI has also taken the lead in this. The Biden administration and the National School Boards Association (NSBA) have attempted to instill a “woke” agenda for children to “brainwash” themselves through the public school system through the FBI. Parents and groups who oppose “critical race theory,” “gender ideology in classrooms and bathrooms,” and anti-American curricula have been investigated and criticized as “potential domestic terrorists” for criticizing the government.

Father God, through the special subcommittee of the House of Representatives, you have revealed the facts that Christianity and biblical values ​​have been attacked and discriminated against. Also, thank you for showing that the current administration has abused its federal power to oppress certain citizens and groups. “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Shall you not fear the powers that be? Do good, and you will have his approval.” (Romans 13:3). As this verse says, please let the people realize and keep the preciousness of the life of faith in the freedom of religion and Christianity you have granted to America. Please stop the investigations targeting Christianity and the unfair surveillance of churches and religious groups by the new government. Please establish policies centered on biblical values, dispel false theories, and bring new reforms. In particular, please pour out your Holy Spirit so that the churches and leaders of America may become more obedient to God and humble themselves through prayer and so that the prayers of intercessors of the Word may rise more.

Father God!

Last November, along with the US presidential election, falsehoods and illegalities were discovered in the process of collecting signatures from residents to initiate abortion bills in 10 states during the referendum to promote the abortion amendment. In particular, the organization FPF (Floridians Protecting Freedom), which promoted the abortion amendment in Florida, signed under the name of a deceased person during the signature process for the necessary signatures for the amendment. In addition, cases of forging voter signatures and using personal information without the voter’s consent were discovered. Three people were convicted and punished, and FPF was fined.

Father God, please have mercy on us that only three states maintained their current abortion bans through referendums in 10 states, and seven states passed abortion amendments, making abortions more straightforward to obtain. We repent for our sins. We thank you for exposing the fraud in Florida and punishing it in this referendum. “For you formed my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are your works, my soul knows it very well.” (Psalm 139:13-14) Through this word, we are taught the mystery of life, but we reject it and do not realize the murderous sin of abortion, and we take it for granted. Please repent for the sins of this age, have a heart of sorrow, and let the church and parents pray for us. “Children are a heritage from the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is a reward.” (Psalm 127:3). Following this word, may young families protect the lives of the unborn, and may America become a country that no longer sheds the blood of those who cannot speak. In this age, may you listen to the Lord’s sorrowful heart toward the unborn who are killed and abandoned, and may the church and parents pray for the life that God gives, and may the sin of abortion end in this land. We Pray that the next generation of young people will realize the preciousness of life, cherish their families, and live a life of righteous faith. Above all, may biblical values ​​be established more in all areas of American education, and may America become a country of faith that pleases God.

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

'“This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ '

(Jeremiah 33:2-3)

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

Father God!

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), which is investigating President Yoon Seok-yeol’s charges of sedition, announced on the 7th that “the arrest warrant that the Joint Investigation Headquarters re-applied for suspect Yoon Seok-yeol was issued this afternoon.” The arrest warrant for President Yoon, which expired at midnight on the 6th, has been extended. Neither the CIO nor the Western District Court has disclosed how long the validity period was extended.

Father God, thank you for opening the eyes of countless citizens to face why the president had to declare martial law due to President Yoon Seok-yeol’s declaration of martial law. The current impeachment issue is not simply a matter of impeaching the president, but a fight in which the citizens come forward and fight against pro-North Korean leftist forces and pro-Chinese forces who are trying to communize the Republic of Korea. The pro-North Korea faction is controlling and manipulating the media, broadcasting stations, and various media outlets, covering the president with the frame of sedition and deceiving and falsely inciting the people through the unified media, broadcasting stations, and multiple media outlets. The Constitutional Court is now trying to remove the sedition charge and how to proceed with the trial, and amidst rampant illegality, it is destroying trust in this country’s liberal democracy, constitution, and rule of law. Oh Dong-woon, the head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, is taking a despicable action by appearing at a plenary session of the National Assembly’s Legislation and Judiciary Committee and saying, “I will thoroughly prepare with the determination that the execution of the second arrest warrant is the last execution of the warrant, and I will arrest the president and achieve my goal.” “Arise, O Jehovah! Lift your hand, O God. Do not forget the powerless. Why do you let the wicked blaspheme God? They say to themselves, ‘You will not punish.’ Break the arms of the wicked and those who do evil. “Uncover their wickedness until it is all gone.” (Psalm 10:12, 13, 15)

Father God, please arise and crush this extremely evil force. Do not just leave them alone, but punish them without fail. The Democratic Party, the Western District Court, the Public Prosecutor’s Office, and the police work together to arrest the president. In the name of the mighty Yeshua, I command that all operations to arrest the president be nullified. Let them fail. Let them perish on their own. At this time, we place the safety of the people opposing the impeachment and standing guard day and night to protect the president whom the people voted for and elected in the Lord’s hands. We also pray that God will grant wisdom and power to the Secret Service, which protects the president. They can keep the president safe and intervene in the entire process so that it does not develop into a more significant situation. We pray earnestly that God, who is the solution to all problems, will personally solve all these situations and perform the fantastic work of making the Republic of Korea a place to be used again to establish the kingdom of God in these last days. We praise the Lord who will do so.

Father God!

As South Korea faces an unprecedented crisis of a collapse of the constitutional order, the SAVE KOREA National Emergency Prayer Meeting, which seeks to overcome this through prayer and action, will begin at 2 PM on the 11th at the National Assembly Building in Yeouido. This prayer meeting will continue every Saturday in major cities, including Yeouido, and will be held simultaneously across the country on the 18th. This prayer meeting was planned based on the leadership of the ‘10.27 Korean Church Joint Worship and Great Prayer Meeting’, which was held in October of last year. If the service at that time was to block evil laws that undermine biblical values, such as the Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination Act, this time, it is to overcome and restore the current situation in which the government is paralyzed. Public opinion is divided due to the 29th impeachment. He urged, “Let’s save South Korea by calling out for God’s justice and praying for action,” and “Let’s create a South Korea where all Christians gather together with one heart, obey God, and practice justice and righteousness.”

Heavenly Father, we thank you for allowing all Christians to hold an emergency prayer meeting for the nation with one heart and one mind as we face the severe crisis of the collapse of the constitutional order in the Republic of Korea. The National Assembly, controlled by the giant opposition party, has paralyzed the executive branch, causing national chaos and destroying the principle of the Republic of Korea’s free democratic republic, which is stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Korea of the ‘separation of powers.’ The Democratic Party, whose party leader has been indicted on 12 charges and is on trial five times, is paralyzing the state through 29 illegal impeachments of the executive branch. They are committing unprecedented acts of violence in the history of constitutional government, humiliating the sovereign people, destroying the rule of law, and committing treasonous acts that trample on the constitutional system of the Republic of Korea. We hope that God’s justice and righteousness will once again flow like a river in the Republic of Korea, which was established through prayer in 1948. We also hope that we will gather in one place to decide and unite. The whole world is watching how the Christians of the Republic of Korea, who obey God, are making the country righteous. Please let all the churches and believers know with one heart what the proper voice of the church should be in this age. Please let the churches wake up and come to the place of prayer amid this crisis so that the Republic of Korea will not be deprived of freedom of thought and religion and oppressed because we hesitate and fail to make a decision. “This is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of him” (1 John 5:14-15). We believe and pray that only God can save the Republic of Korea. Please let the Holy Spirit urge us to pray boldly and unitedly toward God. We believe in this and thank you for making the Republic of Korea a place where justice and righteousness are restored.

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