Prayer for the Restoration of Israel and Nations      

4/23-4/29/25>

'Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord , your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. '

(Isaiah 41:14-15)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

Father God!

On April 20, as the Passover season in Israel ended, the Messianic Church celebrated the resurrection of our Lord Yeshua at the Garden Tomb with Christians from all over the world visiting Israel, in the great joy of the resurrection and grace. Hallelujah! We praise Yeshua HaMashiach, the Son of God, who forgave our sins, suffered on the cross, conquered death, and rose again.” God made a covenant with Israel, who had been scattered to the nations because they failed to serve Jehovah God properly in the land that He had given them. Thank you for calling them to this land, establishing a nation according to the words prophesied through the prophets, and preparing for the second coming of the Messiah Yeshua. Please let the Jews realize and know that Yeshua is the unleavened bread of life and that Yeshua the Messiah, who shed His blood on the cross as the Passover lamb and died, who gave forgiveness of sins with the blood of the new covenant, and who came back to life. Please renew the knowledge of the Lamb of God, Messiah Yeshua, who is the way of God’s salvation, the truth, and the life, and let them become people who receive salvation through faith. “And give him no rest, until he establishes Jerusalem and makes her a praise in the earth” (Isaiah 62:7) “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they who love her shall prosper” (Psalm 122:6) With this word,sweet thank you for allowing the saints of the nations to love the people of Israel and this land and to pray for its complete restoration.

Father God!

On April 21, after presenting his credentials to President Isaac Herzog, the Trump administration’s Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, held a long, private meeting and came out to the main hall to make a statement, in which President Herzog said, “My beloved brothers in Israel, welcome home.” Ambassador Huckabee traveled extensively throughout Israel, as Abraham did in the Bible. As the special envoy of Israel’s greatest ally and the U.S. ambassador, the Israeli people were deeply moved when Huckabee delivered a message of peace at the Western Wall on Friday at the direction of U.S. President Donald Trump. Ambassador Huckabee said that when he first visited Israel 52 years ago as a 17-year-old boy, he was captivated by the land of Israel and has since visited the country dozens of times, bringing thousands of people back. He said that he is now in Israel with joy and awe, not just because of its geopolitical location, but because of its sacred area, and that he prays every day for the return of the hostages to their families.

Father God, thank you for establishing Pastor Huckabee as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel and for fulfilling God’s written word regarding Israel. Please help America and Israel have a good relationship through Ambassador Huckabee, who loves this land and its people. Help America become a country that blesses and cooperates with God’s work toward Israel. Many countries are rising against anti-Semitism. In the United States, many anti-Semitic demonstrations have been legally restricted, and America, which is cooperating with Israel, stands with Israel and is a country that blesses Israel. God made an exceptional promise to Abraham. “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:3) Please help America become a country that receives God’s blessings, just as He said.

Father God!

On April 21, Qatar’s Prime Minister, Mohammed Al Thani, announced that he plans to resume indirect negotiations regarding the second phase of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Hamas said it would deliver a message to US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff that it was prepared to hand over all remaining hostages as part of an agreement to end the war and reach a “long-term ceasefire” with Israel. Hamas said it was ready to immediately negotiate a deal to exchange all hostages for the agreed number of Palestinians held in Israel.

Father God, we thank you for the news that negotiations for the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza will resume. Please help us to return all hostages quickly, remove Hamas from Gaza, and allow the Gazans to live a stable life as refugees. We pray that Hamas will release all 59 remaining hostages (24 alive, 35 dead) and enter into a ceasefire. Israel is proposing that Hamas release all the hostages and agree to a truce while destroying Hamas’ tunnels and weapons depots in Gaza through airstrikes, while negotiations for the release of the hostages with Hamas are not taking place. We also give thanks to the Gaza residents who are living as refugees due to the war, who are protesting against the evil Hamas and demanding that they leave Gaza, despite Hamas’ suppression and retaliation. Please work so that Hamas can no longer threaten the residents in Gaza and leave the land. Please give Israel the courage to rely entirely on God and trample on their enemies, and thank you for girding them with your power, and let them come before you with all their hearts. Please comfort and strengthen the families, friends, and relatives of the remaining hostages who are waiting for the release of the hostages, praying and praying every day with anxious hearts. Please hold the remaining hostages who are suffering in Hamas’ evil situation, give them the strength to endure to the end, and open the way for them to come out quickly. Comfort the parents of the young soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect their country and their families, the families who lost their husbands and fathers, and the parents who lost their children, and let the many wounded soldiers heal quickly. “Thus says the Lord: The captives of the mighty will be taken, and the prey of the fearful will be rescued; for I will oppose those who oppose you, and I will save your children” (Isaiah 49:25) According to this word, please save the hostages, oppose Hamas, the enemy who started this evil, and completely save Israel. Please let Israel come completely before the Lord God and become a people who trust in the Lord God who heals and saves. We pray that God’s covenant words for Israel will be fulfilled.

Father God!

We praise the Lord who hears the prayers of the watchmen on the great and precious walls of God and works. Please give peace to Jerusalem. May the Lord God establish Jerusalem and praise it in the world. May the Jews who are scattered throughout the nations and all the tribes of Israel who must return to their homeland return to the promised land. Please work so that the law of return will be changed, and believing Jews will also be able to make Aliyah. Please give us the power of the Holy Spirit to fully fulfill the precious mission of serving and praying until the word of God is fulfilled, and may we live a life of faithful faith. Please protect our health.

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

'Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. '

(Philippians 1:27-28)

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

Father God!

On April 18, the UAE state media reported that the internationally recognized Yemeni government was preparing a large-scale offensive of about 80,000 troops to retake the port of Hodaydah in western Yemen from the Houthi rebels. Hodaydah was one of Yemen’s major ports and a significant source of food imports before the war. Still, the Houthis launched a civil war in Yemen in 2014 and by 2019 had violated this agreement with the separatist forces in Hodaydah, driving out all non-Houthi forces and taking control of the entire city in 2021. The operation also included reports that several key Houthi figures were killed in airstrikes during Yemen’s offensive to retake the capital, Sanaa. Open Doors also reported that the Houthis were under the influence of the internationally recognized government. “Since the Houthis attacked Israel in October 2023, churches have been increasingly challenged and unable to worship as the Houthis have grown in power and influence.” During the 2025 survey period, many Christians in Yemen were detained by the authorities because of their faith and false accusations of anti-Christian harassment. With a persecution index score of 94, Yemen ranks third in the world for Christian persecution.

Father God, the civil war in Yemen, which broke out in 2014, continues between the Arab coalition supporting the Yemeni government and the rebel Houthis (Ansarullah). In 2018, the Houthis occupied several areas, including the capital Sanaa and Hodeidah, and committed illegal acts. Although a ceasefire was agreed upon through UN mediation in 2022, the Houthis received weapons from Iran. They expanded their power, seizing many areas of Yemen and persecuting Christians. In addition to social violence, they are participating in the Israeli war, attacking Israel, and merchant ships passing through the Gulf. We are thankful that the Yemeni government is rising again, while the US and UK are currently attacking the Houthis. Please recapture the capital Sanaa and the port of Hodaydah, which were taken over by the Houthi rebels, and restore them politically and economically. Also, please remove the Houthi rebels who oppress the Christians in Yemen and prevent them from gathering in churches where they worship. “Blind their eyes so they cannot see; make their loins tremble continually. Pour out your anger on them; let your fierce anger overtake them. Let their dwellings be desolate; no one lives in their tents.” (Psalm 69:23-25) According to this verse, please rule over the Houthi rebels who are doing evil. We pray for the Christians in Yemen. The few remaining immigrant Christians who have been legally free to worship privately since the Civil War have been unable to gather in person, so please have mercy on the believers who are unable to worship in churches. Please give the few remaining immigrant Christians the day when they can worship freely and legally in private. Help them spread the gospel of Jesus’ love to the poor people of Yemen through Christians and bring about a work of salvation.

Father God!

# Pray for the saints who serve the Lord amidst severe tribulation, persecution, and attacks in the Islamic country of Pakistan. On the night of April 14, a few days before Easter, unidentified suspects distributed poisoned cookies to eight children playing on the street in the Kila Sahib Singh area outside Hafizabad and then fled. “After eating the cookies, the children’s condition rapidly deteriorated and they were rushed to the hospital, but three (Danish, 10, David Shehzad, 7, and Samson, 8) died, and the remaining five were transferred to the Lahore Children’s Hospital in critical condition and are receiving treatment.”

# On March 24, it was reported (local time) that a Christian worker, Waqas Masih, was attacked by a factory shift supervisor who stabbed his carotid artery in the neck for touching an Islamic textbook with “unclean hands” in Punjab, Pakistan. Waqas Masih, who worked at the Suban Allah Paper Mill in Sharaqpur, Sheikhupura District, was attacked by his fellow Muslim employee, Johaib Iftikhar, and according to the victim's father, Iftikhar, who was the shift supervisor at the factory, stabbed Waqas Masih in the carotid artery with a cutter knife, causing him to bleed profusely. Still, fortunately, he was taken to the hospital, underwent surgery, and is recovering.

# April 21, An 18-year-old Christian in Pakistan, who was charged with blasphemy in December, is still being held in jail despite a court order to grant him bail, without the bail money his family had prepared.

Father God, Christians in Pakistan are facing severe tribulation, persecution, and life-threatening situations. We especially hear of young children losing their lives and young people being locked up, stabbed, and wounded. Even in these hardships, please comfort the saints who are walking the path of good faith, believing that they will die if they die, and hold on to them even more with the strong power of the Holy Spirit. In particular, please comfort and give strength to the parents and families who have lost their young children with the peace of hope from heaven. Heal the wounds of those who have been attacked, hold the hands of the young people imprisoned as strong and courageous warriors of the Lord, and establish them as workers who praise and serve the Lord to their heart’s content and spread the gospel. “We are troubled on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not in despair; persecuted, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed; always carrying about in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body” (2 Corinthians 4:8-10) Please comfort the saints of faith in Pakistan who are risking their lives to keep their faith even amid brutal persecution and attacks, tribulation, and hardship. We pray. Holy Spirit, please hold on to the brothers with stronger faith and give new strength to their weakened bodies. Please protect the saints who live with faith in Yeshua in Pakistan and help the servants of the Lord who serve with the Holy Spirit to the widows. Please let us, who serve the Lord to our heart's content in a good environment, follow the example of these saints and live a life as a witness of the gospel of the kingdom of Yeshua.

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

'Now, Israel, hear the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land the Lord , the God of your ancestors, is giving you. Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you. '

(Deuteronomy 4:1-2)

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

Father God!

On April 15, President Trump signed an order directing the administration to block illegal immigrants and other ineligible individuals from receiving benefits under the Social Security Act, thereby excluding illicit immigrants from Social Security. In the meantime, President Biden has issued Social Security numbers to more than 2 million illegal immigrants in fiscal year 2024 alone. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates that it costs American taxpayers at least $182 billion annually in federal and state costs to cover the costs of 20 million illegal immigrants and their children.

Father God, we thank you for overhauling the Social Security program, a precious institution for ordinary Americans. The Office of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk, recently revealed widespread fraud in the U.S. Social Security program. Among the many cases were fraudulent claims by centenarians, benefits paid to the deceased, and large amounts of money spent annually due to fraudulent claims. Thank you for organizing traditional social security for the elderly, unemployment insurance, disability insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and temporary assistance for poor families so that they can be used immediately. Thank you for renewing the taxpayers' tax money so that the right benefits are provided to qualified people, the government's harmful elements are removed, and the right policies are made. "And you shall select out of all the people able men, men who fear God, men of integrity, hating unjust gain, and appoint them over the people as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens" (Exodus 18:20) As this word says, please establish the right government agents in the new administration, remove the illegal and unbiblical administrative elements, and help stabilize people's lives amidst the latest changes. Thank you for the new reforms in all areas, which will protect the rights of the right people and distribute their benefits.

Father God!

This year, the 2025 US President said on Easter, “Melania and I wish everyone a very Happy Easter! May this be a day filled with peace and joy for all who celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is Risen!!” President Trump sent two messages of Happy Easter to all Americans. The other message was “pointing out the left-wing politicians who have worked for open borders, the judges and law enforcement officers who have allowed the attacks on America to continue, and the former President who has intentionally allowed millions of criminals into the United States through open border policies.”

Father God, we thank you for the many illegal immigrants who have entered the United States over the past four years due to open border policies, as well as dangerous prisoners, murderers, sex offenders, drug offenders, well-known MS-13 gang members, Venezuelan gang members, and many other criminals. Thank you for raising a conservative president who believes in God in America and for leading him to implement policies based on the Bible. Rather than looking back on the actual economy of the people with anti-Biblical and anti-American policies that have failed to protect the American people due to the implementation of global policies, we thank you for cutting off the anti-Biblical culture and policies through politics and policies. Above all, as a powerful country, I repent for my sins of supporting abortion and sexual minorities and forcing and propagating transgender ideology toward other nations. Please forgive me. We also repent for the sins of the United States of socialist ideology, Marxist social justice, preferential treatment of sexual minorities and a culture that promotes transgenderism, taking away innocent lives through abortion, and supporting the anti-Israel Palestinian cause. “If indeed you have heard him and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus, that you put off, concerning your former conduct, your old self, which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new self, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” (Ephesians 4:21-24) As children of God, may we put on the new self and obey God’s holiness, and may we become a nation that spreads God’s word to the nations, exerts a good influence, and gives glory to God. Especially for our children who have been brainwashed through public education and the media, “I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life; no razor will ever come on his head.” (1 Samuel 1:11) Like Hannah’s prayer of tears, may the tearful prayers of Mother Hannah come alive, and may our children be cleansed of all their impure thoughts and ideas, and may the work of being renewed by the Word of truth take place.

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

'For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. '

(Jeremiah 29:11-13)

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

Father God!

The Free Republic of Korea Defense Corps filed a complaint against Yoon Yeo-seop, the head of the Central Election Commission’s election management division, who said during the demonstration of the 21st presidential election voting and counting procedures, “We have never advertised that (the mark) would remain on the ballot box when the special seal is removed,” presenting data that contradicts his statement. On April 10, the Central Election Commission held a demonstration of the 21st presidential election voting and counting procedures at the Central Election Commission building in Gwacheon City. Secretary-General Kim Yong-bin, several lawyers, and reporters participated. The Election Commission demonstrated the process of attaching a “special seal (a sticker that leaves a mark when removed to ensure security integrity)” to the ballot box and removing it. Attorneys Park Joo-hyun and Yoon Yong-jin, who discovered no marks left on the ballot box, raised the issue, saying, “Didn’t they originally advertise that (the mark) would remain?” Director Yoon refuted, saying, “I have never advertised that it would remain in the barrel.” “After the demonstration, you can see that the existing promotional image file for the ‘Residual Special Seal’ has been changed on the National Election Commission website.”He argued that it was an ‘abuse of power’ along with the explanation that “It is reasonable to assume that the defendant (Director Yoon) ordered his subordinates to change the website materials.”

Father God, the Republic of Korea is about to have a crucial presidential election. Suspicions and distrust of election fraud are spreading, causing conflict and confusion. Former President Yoon recognized that the country was in a great crisis due to election fraud. He declared martial law and wanted to investigate the National Election Commission, but he was forced to step down without achieving any concrete results. However, thank you for waking the people and realizing that the National Election Commission manipulated the election. I also thank you for making them aware of the seriousness of this election and allowing them to deal with it so that they can absolutely not proceed in the same way as before. Please watch over all the institutions and officials in charge of the election with fiery eyes so they do not cheat and lose fairness and transparency. “There is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known” (Luke 12:2). As said, if injustice has already been planned or hidden, please expose all the schemes of darkness, judge them in the light, and block them with your holy hands. Let us become leaders and administrators who act justly before God, and keep them from the temptation of injustice. Let the Lord’s eyes and hands rest on each ballot box and each system, and block them in advance so that no manipulation or illegality can find a way in. “He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will be crushed by it” (Prov. 26:27). Let those who hide the truth be put to shame and those who call for justice be protected and victorious. “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but the Lord’s purpose stands.” (Prov. 19:21) Many presidential candidates are revealing themselves now, but please let only God’s perfect will stand. We pray earnestly that the unrighteous acts of those who are false, ambitious, pro-North Korea, and colluding corruptly with clan forces will be exposed, and that the Lord’s righteous hand will prevent such a person from becoming president and taking power. Please let the Republic of Korea firmly establish its liberal democracy and free market economic system and fulfill its mission as a holy priestly nation that carries out the vision of ‘missionary Korea’ until the end.

Father God!

The Seoul Queer Culture Festival Organizing Committee (Organizing Committee) held a press conference at Hyanglin Church in Jongno-gu on the 15th. It announced that the '2025 26th Seoul Queer Culture Festival' will be held from June 1 to 22. It is expected that there will be clashes with citizens who oppose the Seoul Queer Culture Festival, which is held every year under the pretext of sexual minorities. It is said that five events are preparing for the festival, including the 25th Anniversary Forum, Seoul Queer Parade, Korean Queer Film Festival, Rainbow Goods Exhibition, and Online Queer Parade, under the slogan, 'We Never Stop.'

Father God, we believe that the church should be the pillar and foundation of truth on this earth and a place of worship that exalts the name of the Holy God. However, we confess with a heavy heart that some churches today are taking the dangerous path of covering up lies and obscenity in the name of love and openly supporting and blessing homosexuality and queer culture. “If this city, which is called by Your name, has done evil, how can we escape punishment?” (Jer 25:29) We kneel in fear and trembling before the reality that churches in Your name have come to the point of participating in gay parades, holding queer worship services, and directly denying the order of creation. Please rebuke churches like Hyanglin Church that openly support homosexuality, advocate queer theology, and confuse children and youth with Your word, and open their eyes again and grant them the grace to repent. “My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and have dug out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.” (Jer 2:13) They are sinning, distorting the Bible, and rendering the Word of God powerless, so please close their mouths and let them hear Your voice. May the churches and leaders who remain silent or tolerate the flow of lies and compromise repent and turn back, and may the Korean church be given the grace to stand on the truth again in the last days.

Father God, awaken this generation with the power of the cross of Yeshua, and raise people of faith who can discern God’s will and stand boldly. “Your enemies have taunted you; those who hate you have lifted their heads. Let them be put to shame and forever dismayed; let them be destroyed and destroyed, so they may know that you, Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth.” (Psalm 83:2, 17, 18) Let the forces of darkness that destroy God’s order of creation be put to shame and destroyed. Now, may they no longer abandon themselves to evil forces by following their own desires, but return to the Word of God and receive the blessing of fulfilling their mission for the times. May they be used as those who proclaim Yeshua, who conquered the power of death and was resurrected.

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