Prayer for the Restoration of Israel and Nations      

6/18-6/24/25>

'All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I cut them down. They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the Lord I cut them down. They swarmed around me like bees, but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them down. '

(Psalms 118:10-12)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

Father God!

It is the 620th day of the war against Hamas. Hamas launched a massive attack on Israel on October 7. Thousands of terrorists then infiltrated the Gaza border, killing 350 people at the Supernova music festival and over 1,200 Israelis and foreigners across the Gaza border, and taking about 240 hostages to Gaza. There are currently 53 hostages left in the Gaza Strip.

# On June 13, 2025, the IDF began airstrikes on Iran's central nuclear facility, killing Iranian military officials and senior nuclear research officials, and then destroyed Iran's nuclear facilities, most of its military bases, and missile launchers. On the 17th, they killed a top Iranian intelligence executive and destroyed key facilities, including the Islamic Republic News Network (IRINN), a military base in western Tehran, and Iran's missile bases. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a rare interview with Iranian dissident media on Monday that the Islamic Republic’s time is numbered, and that Israel’s military operation presents the Iranian people with an unprecedented opportunity to overthrow their oppressive regime. “The light has come. Your time for freedom has come. The time is now,” Netanyahu told the London-based Iran International.

# The Israel Civil Defense Command has declared a state of emergency until June 30 and has issued guidelines to the public. The Iranian airstrike on the Bazan oil refinery near Haifa on the 15th destroyed part of an oil refinery pipeline and power lines, temporarily shutting down some secondary facilities, but most are still operational. The Iranian attack killed 24 people and wounded more than 590, including seven IDF soldiers.

Heavenly Father, after the invasion and war by Hamas, please protect the Israeli army that is at war with Hamas’ terrorist groups and pray for the speedy return of all 56 hostages remaining in the Gaza Strip. Please help Israel’s “Rising Lion” military operation to attack Iran, which is orchestrating and supporting these evil acts behind the scenes, to succeed, comfort the families of the dead and the wounded Israeli people from Iran’s attack, and completely save and protect Israel. We give thanks for the destruction of all Iranian air defenses and air force, the elimination of military and Revolutionary Guard commanders and high-ranking nuclear scientists, and the destruction of half of the nuclear facilities and military bases including missile bases in the three days of the war with Iran that began with Israel’s preemptive strike. Also, please work so that the Iranian people who oppose the current Iranian regime will wake up and come into the light of freedom on this occasion. Through this war with Israel, may the Iranian regime collapse, and may all the nations of the world realize that Jehovah God is protecting Israel and that God’s written words about Israel are being fulfilled. “You, O LORD, endure forever; your remembrance endures from generation to generation. You will arise and have mercy on Zion; now is the time to be gracious to her, for the appointed time has come.” (Psalm 102:12, 13) We praise Yeshua, the King who has shown mercy to Zion according to the appointed time and is establishing Jerusalem, the city of the great King. “Lift your heads, O ye gates; and be lifted, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD is strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift your heads, O ye gates; and be lifted, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, the King of glory.” (Psalm 24:7-10) Let the soldiers on the battlefield and all the people of Israel believe that the battle belongs to the LORD and rely on the LORD God, the strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. In particular, may the soldiers of Israel become strong warriors of the LORD, protecting and guarding them so that they may be strong and courageous, and carry out their mission well. Comfort and strengthen all the people of Israel who are in the midst of the emergency of war, and the foreigners who visit Israel and live in the land.

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

'who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me. Therefore I will praise you, Lord , among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name. '

(Psalms 18:48-49)

Father God, I (we) pray for Indonesia. 

Father God!

We pray that the war between Israel and Iran, which is in the world's attention, be placed in the Lord's hands. Meanwhile, Iran has developed numerous ballistic missiles and weapons of war, saying that it will wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Also, Iran, which supported Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, attacked Israel and caused a war. On June 13, Israel preemptively attacked Iran with the "Rising Lion" operation, which was prepared by Mossad's preemptive war plan. Iran's nuclear facilities and military bases were eliminated along with high-ranking officials and atomic scientists, and in retaliation, Iran is attacking Israel with numerous long-range rockets. In response to President Trump's announcement that he is leaving the G7 meeting in Canada early and advising the citizens of Tehran to leave Tehran immediately, we are grateful that many Iranian citizens in Tehran are leaving the city and that there are prominent figures urging the resignation of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei regime. Let their eyes be darkened, that they cannot see; let their loins tremble continually. Pour out your wrath upon them, and let your fierce anger overtake them. Let their dwellings be desolate, and let no one dwell in their tents.” (Psalm 69:23-25) According to this word, please rule over Iran, which is committing evil, and bring about a new change. According to your word, please rule over Iran, which is committing evil, and let the Iranian people return to the free and democratic country they desire. Father God, although Israel is currently at war, I believe that Jehovah God is saving Israel and blessing her through this war, and I pray and bless Israel. As the firstborn nation that received God’s love through their ancestors, until the full number of salvation for the Gentiles of the nations is complete, I believe that you are fulfilling your covenant with Israel by turning away their ungodliness and taking away their sins, as you said. The war between Israel and Iran is not only Israel’s. Please help the leaders of the nations and the people of the world realize that this is not just a war, but a war for the protection of Israel, but for the world, and wake them up from anti-Semitism. We pray that the current Iranian regime will fall and its influence will spread to China and North Korea, so that the axis of evil will fall, China and North Korea will fall, and the unification of South Korea will be achieved.

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

'This is the confidence we have in approaching God: 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 what we asked of him. '

(1 John 5:14-15)

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

Father God!

Last week, the federal government deployed 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 Marines to suppress violent protests and “insurgents” during a crackdown on illegal immigration in Los Angeles. The deployment was criticized by protesters, Democrats, liberal media outlets, and various groups. The mayor of Los Angeles and the governor of California filed a federal lawsuit to block the operation, calling it an “infringement on state power” and “violence against democracy.” However, the National Guard troops are now under federal control following an appeal by the Trump administration. As protests against illegal immigration policies in Los Angeles, New York, and elsewhere, the state of California and the city of Los Angeles are supporting the rioters, and the federal government is investigating who is behind the funding and gathering of protesters.

Heavenly Father, protesters in LA against the illegal immigration crackdown have blocked freeways in the city, wearing masks, burning American flags, waving foreign flags, looting stores, and throwing rocks at police, injuring five people. Please protect the police who are trying to prevent damage to citizens and maintain order, as well as protect citizens’ businesses. We thank President Trump for sending in federal troops within the legal process and responding to the actual situation, as the illegal riots in LA are an act of hostility against federal agencies, and for the protests in LA to slow down. Please help calm the illegal demonstrations that have been occurring in several states and establish a new order. “You shall not add to or subtract from the word that I command you, but you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you.” (Deuteronomy 4:2) According to this word, I pray that the right leaders will rise and remember the good word of God, practicing proper governance, so that social order is maintained. A stable society is created through firm legal responses to crimes and illegal acts. That is, under the principle of freedom, a strong response to violent riots is essential for the stability of civil society. I thank you for raising awareness of similar protests across the country and restoring law and order so that many cities will not suffer from the threat of disorder and destruction through BLM and others in the past George Floyd incident. We thank you for the current calming down of the protests in LA. Please restore order in Texas and Seattle, establish stable cities, and restore peace.

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!

Former Gyeonggi Province Peace Vice Governor Lee Hwa-young, who was arrested and indicted for the “Ssangbangwool illegal remittance to North Korea” case and sentenced to 7 years and 8 months in prison by the Supreme Court on the 5th, has reportedly publicly requested a special pardon for herself. In the political world, it is said that “since President Lee Jae-myung was elected, petitions for pardons from the ruling party are flying in.” In the ruling party and elsewhere, there are also calls for pardons and reinstatement for former Cho Kuk, the leader of the Fatherland Innovation Party, and Song Young-gil, the leader of the Sonamu Party, who are currently serving sentences after being convicted.

Father God, we pray with a heart of deep sorrow as I watch the justice and righteousness of this country continuously crumble. At this point, not long after the regime changed to President Lee Jae-myung, I see that truth and justice are disappearing at a breakneck pace amid the chaos in politics, the judiciary, the media, and even civic consciousness in the Republic of Korea. Former Gyeonggi Province Vice Governor Lee Hwa-young and others who committed crimes and are serving prison sentences are demanding pardons and mocking fair judgments before they have fully paid the price for their crimes. We examine the reality where acts of self-interest and the restoration of power are openly committed, while undermining the rule of law in a liberal democratic country, and we come forward to ask for mercy from the Lord. “For righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Prov. 14:34). “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like a never-failing stream” (Amos 5:24). Please let justice flow like a river again in this land. Please reveal the lies, hypocrisy, and distortions of the judiciary, and grant grace so that those who love the truth may rise like clouds. Especially, open the eyes of Korean church leaders and believers so that they realize that the responsibility for all these sins lies not only with the world but also with us believers, and repent and confess that the church has been in deeper darkness than the world. “If my people humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14) Please grant the fullness of the Holy Spirit so that believers can come to a place where they humble themselves, pray, and seek God’s face, as the word of the Lord says. “I looked for a man among them who would build the wall and stand in the gap for the land, so that I would not destroy it, but I found none. So I poured out my wrath on them and consumed them with the fire of my anger, and I brought down on their heads all their deeds,” declares the Lord God. (Ezekiel 22:30-31) In this age, please awaken the believers in the Lord who are seeking those who will build the wall for their people and stand in the gap for the land, so that they may stand in that gap. Please raise the judiciary, the media, and the people who can speak the truth without compromise, regardless of the evil they may face. Please let the Holy Spirit work powerfully so that the leaders of this country, including President Lee Jae-myung, can establish justice with a heart that fears God.

Father God!

The 26th Seoul Queer Culture Festival was held in Seoul on Saturday, June 14th, in the Namdaemun-ro and Ujeongguk-ro area of Jung-gu, Seoul. With the slogan “We never stop,” the organizers announced that 30,000 people participated, while the police estimated that there were about 7,000. It is reported that approximately 70 booths were operated by LGBTQ+ groups, human rights organizations, and foreign embassies, including those from the UK and France.

Father God, we give thanks and praise for ruling with the word of truth even amid spiritual confusion and moral corruption in these last days. We believe that the order in which God created man and woman and established the family, community, and society is good and perfect. However, in this evil era, many boldly challenge God’s order of creation by claiming that Christianity has taught wrongly and is misinterpreting the Bible in opposition to homosexuality and anti-discrimination laws. This year, a grand Queer Culture Festival was held in the heart of Seoul that distorted sexual identity and sexual ethics, and we are witnessing the tragic reality that even government agencies and diplomatic delegations are participating in this event. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter” (Isaiah 5:20) Please do not let us ignore the words of the Lord, and work so that churches and believers can speak up and not be silent. “From the beginning of creation, God made them male and female” (Mark 10:6). Jesus also proclaimed these words so that we can strongly confront and fight against distorted values. Please do not let the power of the gospel be weakened in a darkened world. “But God demonstrates his love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) Remembering this verse, before condemning homosexuals, I want to pray that they will realize the love of Jesus and fully return to the gospel, with the heart of the Father who wants to save them.

Father God, we earnestly pray that you will grant great grace so that the politics and culture of this country will turn from the path of opposing God, and so that education, art, media, and public policy will return to the path of following God’s order and truth. “God be gracious to us and bless us, and cause his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.” (Psalm 67:1-2) As this verse says, please stop the spread of queer culture, and let the Korean church become a country where the order of creation is restored, and in these last days, let the fantastic history of the Korean church being used as a holy tool to shine the light of the gospel and the order of creation to the ends of the earth continue.

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

Praying for CWMI

Father God!

Please bless all executives and branch heads, including the president. What we ask of those in charge is loyalty, so let them obey for the glory of the Lord and let only the gospel be revealed. 

We pray for the Wednesday All Nations Prayer Meeting, held online every week. Thank you for blessing the Nations Prayer Meeting, which has been working diligently every week. Bless the ICC Church and the Virginia House of Prayer for the Nations (VHOP). Thank you for allowing us to make the recent 'Prayer Video' to pray for the fulfillment of the Bible and the video to convey "God's Time and Israel". Many videos that can be used as data to inform Israel are spread so people can discern the time of this era and pray with the Bible in their closets.

Above all supplication, I (we) pray in the name of Yeshua Messiah. 

Finish with God’s prayer. Amen.
