Prayer for the Restoration of Israel and Nations      

3/19-3/25/25>

'I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place. '

(Psalms 31:7-8)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

Father God!

On March 19, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered “strong action” against Hamas’s refusal to release the remaining hostages and any ceasefire proposals, as well as its new war preparations and threats to attack IDF forces and Israel. The Israeli military said the first airstrikes targeted Hamas’ mid-level commanders, senior Hamas political leaders, and Hamas infrastructure. The White House said it had consulted with Israel ahead of the strikes, that the Israeli Interior Ministry’s local governments had updated their security guidelines, and that classes had been canceled in schools near Gaza.

Father God, as the ceasefire ended and a second ceasefire and hostage negotiations were underway, the White House and Israel agreed to begin airstrikes in Gaza in response to Hamas’ refusal to accept a ceasefire and release the hostages and that the fight would not stop until Hamas released all of its hostages. “Help us against our enemies, for the salvation of man is in vain. We will do valiantly in God, for he is the One who tramples down our enemies.” (Psalm 60:12, 12) Please help Israel, which is entering a new war, to eradicate the enemy Hamas. Please give Israel the courage to rely on God and trample down its enemies completely. Please comfort the hostages who are still in Hamas’ tunnels and evil situations and work so that all the remaining hostages can return. Please comfort and strengthen the families, friends, and relatives of the remaining hostages who are waiting day after day with anxious hearts and prayers. “Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me. My soul takes refuge in you; in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge until disaster has passed. I cry to God Most High, who accomplishes everything for me.” (Psalm 57:1-2) Please hold the remaining hostages who have been suffering under Hamas for over 529 days, open the way for them to come out quickly, and give them the strength to endure to the end. Please protect the Israeli people who have suffered physical and emotional hardships from the war by seeking God’s peace, overcoming the trauma of war in God’s comfort, and not suffering from suffering and depression.

Father God!

On March 17, the Movement for Quality Government in Israel (MQG) filed a petition with the Israeli High Court asking for the dismissal of Shin Bet Chairman Ronen Barr after Prime Minister Netanyahu fired him. The petition claims that Netanyahu’s dismissal of Ronen Barr was wrongly attributed to the investigation into the “Feldstein affair” (allegations that he attempted to sabotage hostage release negotiations) and “Qatargate” (allegations that he received money from Qatar in exchange for promoting the interests of countries supporting Hamas). The firing of the Shin Bet leader, especially during the war, was a dangerous act that seriously undermined national security.” Protest group leaders announced a large-scale demonstration in Jerusalem to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intentions.

Father God, Netanyahu’s firing of Ronen Bar has once again divided Israel and sparked protests at a time when war is about to begin anew. Pray that the Israeli government will give a proper answer to the petition regarding the firing of Ronen Bar from Shin Bet. Please make the government a government that can be trusted by the people by clarifying the allegations regarding the Feldstein and Qatargate incidents and doing its job right and honestly. “Listen, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel: Is it not your duty to know justice?” (Micah 3:1) According to this verse, the government and its leaders, “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, “Will it not be to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8) Before this word, let us be those who do justice and love and comfort the people in the pain of war. Let the leaders trust in God, who restores, helps, and guides Israel. Let them be humble before God. Let them be those who are trusted by the people and set Israel straight.

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

'My salvation and my honor depend on God ; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. '

(Psalms 62:7-8)

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

Father God!

Please have mercy on Muslims who observe Ramadan from February 28 to March 29, fast, and live as Muslims bound by tradition and heredity. In particular, Wednesday, March 26, is the night of power, and many Muslims pray for forgiveness of sins. At this time, please give Muslims who seek the true God and pray for forgiveness of sins the eyes to see Yeshua, the actual truth and life, and open their ears to hear the gospel. Please empower the Holy Spirit of God to realize and understand that only the blood of Yeshua on the cross, who bore all the world's sins and died, can forgive sins. Please destroy all the spirits of darkness that bind them with the blood of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. Please let the light of the gospel shine on Islamic countries. “Yeshua said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ (John 11:25-26) We pray that the Word will be fully proclaimed. In particular, please let the young generation in the Muslim world come into the light of life and let the history of seeking and meeting Yeshua, the way, the truth, and life take place. Please work the Holy Spirit so that they realize that God the Creator is in control of history and come to God. Please shine a light on the land of darkness. In particular, please anoint the local church and Muslim brothers and sisters with the Holy Spirit 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 destroys the spiritual stronghold filled with the spirit of Islam. Amid the dangerous reality of persecution and tribulation, may the saints in Iran and Muslim countries rely on God with faith in the Messiah Yeshua. Please help protect us, the Holy Spirit, to call upon God, our refuge, and be victorious. Let the Lord be our safe refuge. Please protect and protect the servants and saints of the Lord who spread the gospel in Islamic countries that continue to oppress and persecute good Christians who worship and serve God, and bless the churches established in the name of the Lord.

Father God!

On March 16, Yemen's Houthis declared that they would attack Israel. In response to the ballistic missiles fired at Israel landing in the Sinai Peninsula, US President Donald Trump said that Hamas and Yemen's Houthi rebels who attack Israel would experience hell and attack the homes and headquarters of the Houthi leadership in Yemen. The US Central Command released a video of President Trump personally directing the attack from the operations room as the US launched a Tomahawk missile. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Commander-in-Chief Salami said, "We will respond severely," and President Trump said, "Iran will be held accountable and will face terrible consequences."

# From March 10 to 3, the Iranian Navy conducted joint naval exercises with the Russian and Chinese navies in the Indian Ocean and Oman under the "2025 Maritime Security Belt." Iran's deputy operations commander, Rear Admiral Mostafa, who does not have a large navy, said that aerial photography training and tactical formations were successfully conducted during the naval exercises. The Iranian Navy said it is "committed to establishing security regionally and globally and will not allow any threats or intrusions on its maritime borders."

Father God, the Middle East is still clouded with war clouds. The Houthis attacked US warships as the US began large-scale airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen, who attacked Israel with Iranian support. On the night of the 17th, the US launched new airstrikes on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, further escalating the war. The US said that the Houthis, who are using Iranian weapons, are participating in the war with Iranian support and that Iran should take responsibility for this. Iran is also preparing for battle by conducting naval exercises with Russia and China. May the Lord rule over Iran, which is attacking Israel and waging war through Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, claiming to destroy Israel from this world and destroy their schemes. As God promised Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3). As we see the destruction of Iran, which is trying to curse and destroy Israel, and Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis who agree with them, may the nations of the world realize and know God, who makes Israel a blessing. Bless the nations that help Israel, along with the United States and the United Kingdom, who are assisting Israel and attacking the Houthis and blessing Israel. May the Middle Eastern nations that have signed the Abraham Accords, opened relationships with Israel, and exchanged with it become nations that receive God’s blessings. Let our churches in the Republic of Korea pray for Israel, especially for the peace of Jerusalem, for those who love Jerusalem will prosper. (Psalm 122:6) Please pray according to this verse and let the government of the Republic of Korea become a blessed nation of God with good relations with Israel.

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

'but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. '

(1 Thessalonians 5:21-24)

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

Father God!

Shortly after taking office, President Trump issued an executive order reinstating Title IX, which prohibits biological males from competing in women’s sports. In response, Maine’s Democratic-controlled legislature repeatedly refused to comply with legislation that would reduce protections for transgender people or restrict gender confirmation treatment, as well as the executive order banning biological males from participating in women’s sports. In response, the U.S. The Department of Agriculture (USDA) said it would cut off all funding to the University of Maine, totaling approximately $30 million.

Father, after meeting with the governors, the USDA, HHS, and DOE have launched an investigation into potential Title IX violations in Maine. We are grateful that real disciplinary action has been taken against state schools that continue to maintain unbiblical policies regarding male participation in women’s sports, including the loss of federal funding. “God created man in his image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). According to this verse, there is a difference between men and women. Still, former President Biden revised Title 9 in 2024, allowing transgender male students to compete in women’s sports and athletics, claiming it was a favoritism for sexual minorities. We are grateful that the 26 Republican state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against the bill that was forced, and this rule was repealed.

We are also grateful that this action restores the order of God’s creation in the American education system and returns it to biblical policies. We pray that the wrong policies centered on the Democratic Party will be purified in each political circle and social sector, especially in the education sector. We pray that the false thoughts and ideas that have been brainwashing our children through wrong education will be washed away by the blood of the Lord’s cross and filled with the word of truth. We pray that education that obeys the word of the Lord will be newly realized in all sectors of society and that America will become a place that gives glory to God.

Father God!

On March 16, Federal Judge Boasberg ruled that the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 should be used to deport immigrants and that the Trump administration has deported approximately 250 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. This gang, which occupied an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, is one of the most violent and notorious criminal organizations in Latin America, operating in theft, prostitution, human trafficking, smuggling, and drug trafficking. They committed various crimes to collect debts from border smugglers. The federal judge stated in the Alien Enemies Act that the government has other legal authority to deport the Venezuelan gang, which allows them to remain in El Salvador while the appeal is pending.

Father God, we thank you for arresting and deporting criminals who entered the United States illegally, as President Trump promised in his campaign promise to deport criminal organizations at the border. In the past few years, many criminals have come in from the open southern border of the United States, and we are thankful that we have expelled the evil Venezuelan gangs. “Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” (Proverbs 11:14). We thank you for allowing President Trump to adequately protect the United States' borders, eliminate the evils of society, and work to return the United States to a safe and sound state. We pray that the many good bills he signed when he took office will be implemented appropriately and that co-workers who work together for good deeds will be raised. For this work, please bless the church and intercessors to be raised, and for parents to pray for their children with a life of faith and raise them so that the United States can become a nation of faith that serves God and helps and builds up the countries of the world.

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 United States has included Korea in the ‘Sensitive and Other Designated Countries (SCL) List’, which designates countries that pose a threat to national security or have unstable political situations. If included in the US’s sensitive country list, sharing of cutting-edge technologies related to national security may be limited, and research cooperation, personnel exchange, and participation in joint projects are also likely to become difficult.

# The US government announced that it will pursue new trade agreements with each country in relation to the ‘reciprocal tariffs’ scheduled to take effect on the 2nd of next month. The US has decided that the existing trade agreements are unfair, and has formalized its position that it will impose reciprocal tariffs and then conclude new trade agreements through bilateral negotiations.

Father God, in the relationship between the US and the Republic of Korea, which has been a long-time ally, the US administration has designated the Republic of Korea as a sensitive country, citing its unstable political situation and its potential threat to US security. In addition, even though tariffs were abolished on most items through the Korea-US FTA, the possibility of the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement being renegotiated has increased, putting us in a difficult situation where the possibility of tariff increases on Korean products has increased. The good relationship with the United States that had been restored since President Yoon Seok-yeol’s government came to power has been weakened for a long time due to the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol and the subsequent impeachment of the acting president. We see that one of the causes is that the pro-China, anti-US forces that share the same views are controlling the country. However, we are grateful that the impeachment of the president has awakened many citizens to the fact that this is a fight against forces that have been trying to drive the country into a pro-North Korea, pro-China communist system. We are grateful that many enlightened citizens are standing up for the country, making declarations on the current situation, and uniting their will to protect liberal democracy in various places. Please grant us grace so that the Republic of Korea can overcome unnecessary difficulties both domestically and internationally without any further expansion. Please intervene directly so that President Yoon Seok-yeol can quickly receive a fair judgment from the Constitutional Court, be reinstated, and return to the presidency so that he can carry out all the duties given to him during the remaining term. “Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who plan peace have joy. No evil will come upon the righteous, but the wicked will be filled with misfortune.” (Prov. 12:20-21)

Father God, please do not leave this country in the hands of the wicked any longer. Please humble the Republic of Korea so that it can be used for God’s will. We earnestly pray that you use it as a missionary nation that can go out into the world with the gospel of the Lord in the last days, and that you work so that the door to the unification of North Korea can be opened through the gospel.

Father God!

The Korean Church Press Association reported, “Last year, there were 25 cases of overseas technology leaks detected by the police, 18 of which went to China, and 10 cases involved the leak of key national technologies, but espionage charges cannot be applied.” In addition, “Last June, military officer Mo sent several confidential information equivalent to level 2 and 3 state secrets, such as personal information on our country’s ‘black agents’ and the status of all unit members, to ethnic Koreans in Korea, which can be sufficiently inferred to be related to North Korea. It is difficult to apply espionage charges unless direct ties to North Korea are proven,” expressing concern. “Last June, Chinese students studying for master’s and doctoral degrees at a national university in Busan were caught filming the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, which entered Busan Port, with a drone.” “They took photos of over 500 military facilities in Korea for two years, and even though their contact information was discovered, we could not apply the ‘espionage charge’ to them,” he lamented.

Father God, thank you for loving and protecting the Republic of Korea and revealing the activities of spies. At this time, we pray that our country’s espionage law will be revised so that our national defense and security can be strengthened. Security is a core value of a country. Currently, many spies from China and North Korea are infiltrating and working in various fields, leaking important information and national secrets for our country’s security, and committing espionage, but it is unfortunate that we cannot impose appropriate sanctions under the current espionage law. We are now living in the era of ‘hybrid warfare’, and we can steal national secret information and core information without going to war with guns and swords. We are living in war in various fields such as theft of industrial technology information, psychological warfare through false propaganda, bribery of politicians and election interference, cyber warfare through digital system attacks, belligerent acts of military demonstrations and threats, and public opinion warfare through disguised and fake media. Accordingly, espionage activities are also taking place in all directions, and our Republic of Korea's national secrets are being stolen. If we cannot protect our country in these dangerous times, we will not be able to live as a liberal democracy and will be in danger of being taken over by pro-North Korea and pro-Chinese forces. “Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety. Without counsel, plans fall, but in the multitude of counselors they succeed.” (Prov. 11:14, 15:22) With these words, we pray for the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. Please let the National Assembly gather their counsel and discuss sincerely for the security of the people. Please let the giant opposition party stop delaying the revision of the Espionage Act, which is closely related to the security of the nation and the people and let the revision of the Espionage Act be passed as soon as possible so that the freedom and sovereignty of the people can be protected, and national secrets can be protected. Please pour out the oil of the Holy Spirit so that the church and the saints can wake up and pray so that they can keep their faith more and fulfill the mission that God has entrusted to them as they see the events of this era.

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