Prayer for the Restoration of Israel and Nations      

'Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. '

(Psalms 127:1)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

# In the ceasefire and hostage release negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the end of the war is being seriously discussed for the first time. Israel and the United States are highly likely to reach a deal, but they have not yet reached an agreement due to Hamas' insistence on a complete ceasefire.

# On July 22, Palestinian supporters blocked Israelis from disembarking from a cruise ship that departed Haifa on the 20th, stopped in Rhodes, and then went to tour the Greek island of Syros. The Israelis had no choice but to remain on the ship due to safety concerns.

# In Germany, a group called "Palestinian Speakers," monitored by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, called for a "demonstration march" on the Sabbath and near Jakobsplatz. Afterwards, hundreds of people in Munich held an all-night prayer vigil to protect "their" synagogue.

Heavenly Father, please have mercy on Greece and the nations who do not know the words of the Bible and the will and providence of God toward Israel in this age and who are acting against the Jews and persecuting them with anti-Semitism. “Thus says your Sovereign Lord, your God who pleads the cause of his people: ‘See, I will take the cup of my anger out of your hand, the cup of my wrath; you will never drink it again; I will put it in the hand of those who have afflicted you.’” (Isaiah 51:22) For the past 2,000 years, we praise the Lord who has taken away the cup of anger from Israel, who has suffered, scattered among the nations, and established a nation according to His word and fulfilled the word of God’s covenant. Now, we praise the Lord who has placed the cup of anger on the persecutors of the nations who have afflicted Israel according to His word, established Israel before them, and fulfilled His word. “The Lord will arise and have mercy on Zion; now is the time to be gracious to her, for the appointed time is near.” (Psalm 102:12) According to this word, please let us realize that God is now restoring Israel, having mercy on Zion, and giving grace, and let us prepare for the approach of God’s appointed time. Please let the Gentile churches understand the word of God, see Israel correctly as it shows us this era, and serve God more, comfort Israel, and obey Him who established Jerusalem and praised it.

Father God, it has been 655 days since the war between Israel and Hamas. Please protect the Israeli army, which is eliminating the remnants of Hamas’ terrorist groups and terrorist infrastructure, and pray for the speedy return of all 50 hostages remaining in the Gaza Strip. Please comfort and give strength to the remaining hostage families, friends, and relatives who are anxiously waiting for the release of the hostages every day. 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. “Thus says the Lord: Even the captives of the mighty will be taken, and the prey of the fearful will be rescued; for I will fight against those who fight against you, and I will save your children” (Isaiah 49:25) Please save the hostages according to this word, and fight against Hamas, the enemy who started this evil, and save Israel completely. Please let the soldiers on the battlefield and all the people of Israel believe that the war belongs to the Lord and rely on the strong and mighty Lord, the Lord God, who is mighty in battle. Please give wisdom to the leaders of the Israeli army. Through this war, let all the world's nations realize that the Lord God is protecting Israel and that the written words of God concerning Israel are being fulfilled. Please comfort all the soldiers going to war, all the people of Israel, and their children in the difficult situation of war, and give them peace and courage from above. Please completely save and protect Israel. We pray that the war in Gaza will end quickly with Israel's victory, and that the promised lands will be completely Israel's, and that the words of God promised to Abraham will be fulfilled.

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

'“Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation: Instruction will go out from me; my justice will become a light to the nations. '

From August 4 to 7, Korean and British Christian groups will hold a large-scale prayer meeting at the Westminster Emmanuel Center in London, with the theme “Make the UK Holy Again,” to pray for spiritual revival in the UK. We pray that the UK, which brought the gospel to the land of Joseon, will once again be revitalized. This meeting for the people of North Korea, the world’s worst Christian persecutor, is co-hosted by the Esther Prayer Movement, a Korean missionary group in the US, and the London Shepherd Church. It is sponsored by the British Christian civic group Christian Concern.

Father God, “A nation reflects its church. True hope is in Jesus Christ, not only for individuals but also for families, communities, cities, and nations.” “We will pray for the revival of Britain across all generations, regions, and denominations, and cry out together for God’s work that will transform our hearts, communities, and nations.” Please pour out your Holy Spirit on the prayer meeting called “Make Britain Holy Again.” Thank you for allowing us to prepare and pray for the revival of Britain, which began its world mission through William Carey as a Christian nation and exerted its influence on the world. In particular, Korea is a nation that owes the gospel to British missionary Thomas, who shed his blood as a martyr while spreading the gospel at the Daedong River, and we are thankful that we can pray with British denominations, conduct field evangelism, repay our debt of the gospel, and bless Britain. “Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name, and tell the people what he has done. Sing to him, sing praises to him, tell of all his wonderful works. Glorify his holy name, for those who seek the Lord. Let your heart rejoice! Seek the Lord and his strength! Seek his face always!” (Psalm 105:1-4) Let us boast about the works of God who revived the Korean church and made the nation rich and praise God's beautiful name. We give thanks for the blessing of the Korean believers so that the British church can rise again, and we give glory to our heavenly Father. Please pour out the Holy Spirit on the British believers and churches with us and bless them so that a new revival can take place. Also, please open the eyes, ears, and hearts of the British people so that the British can come before the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, who saves us from the power of Satan and eternal death. Please let the cups of prayer be filled and the works of the Holy Spirit be revealed so that the British can once again spread the gospel of the kingdom to the churches of the nation. Bless especially the steps taken to spread the gospel.

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

'The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. '

On July 16, President Trump signed the “HALT Fentanyl Act,” defining the drug problem as a threat to national security and public health and firmly eradicating drugs. Fentanyl is a dangerous drug regulated and controlled by federal law, and the “Fentanyl Ban Act” also classifies fentanyl-like substances (FRS) as the most harmful drug (Schedule I). As a law that applies strong punishment standards, it targets vicious drug dealers, drug traffickers, and organized crime cartels. It is a law for the future eradication of drugs, with a maximum sentence of 20 years for simple possession.

Father God, thank you for strengthening border security, which is the supply line of drugs, and restarting the war on drugs along with blocking the supply within the United States so that the United States can completely escape the drug epidemic. The White House also emphasized cooperation with China to solve the fentanyl problem in the United States, and thanked them for strengthening international collaboration by saying, “China will soon sentence fentanyl manufacturers and distributors to death.” This is a response to the surge in fentanyl addiction and deaths in the United States, declaring war on fentanyl, which enters the United States through Mexico and kills many Americans. Fentanyl is the most lethal of all illegal drugs. Even a deadly dose of 2mg can result in fatal consequences. In the United States, more than 200 people lose their lives every day due to fentanyl-mixed drugs and drug injections. May the illegal drug distribution and trafficking be eradicated, and may the forces resisting the policies implemented by the President be destroyed, and may God’s justice be established.

On July 3, the One Big Beautiful Bill included Section 70003, which explicitly prohibits public funds from being used to support the abortion industry for one year. Within three days, Judge Indira Talwani, a former President Obama appointee, issued a temporary injunction against the bill’s provision that would have blocked Medicaid funding for abortion-related organizations, particularly Planned Parenthood.

Father God, we thank you for working to ensure that America has policies that respect life. The One Big Beautiful Bill, which passed the House and Senate, is centered around a policy direction that seeks to pursue growth and price stability simultaneously, increase corporate investment and job creation, increase real income for workers and households, support small businesses and manufacturing, strengthen welfare for low-income and vulnerable communities, and simultaneous growth and price stability. This is an important bill that will benefit the entire economy, the middle class, and the vulnerable. It will serve as a stepping stone for the new administration to implement its “tax cuts and economic revival policy.” However, even if the life-respecting bill included in this bill is passed, its influence may be weakened or delayed due to the deep progressive structure within the system and biased rulings within the judiciary, which is the reality in the United States. This shows that even if American society enacts a law, it cannot fully restore biblical values due to unbiblical thoughts and ideologies that have already been established in the culture. Our fight to prevent abortion is a spiritual war that requires continuous prayer. We repent for the sin of those who support abortion, who call the act of killing innocent life a medical service, and insist that it is necessary. “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, their practices are abominable; none does good. The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men to see if any understand and seek God. “They have turned aside, they have become filthy together; there is none who does good, not even one” (Psalm 14:1-3). Please forgive our indifference to the sins we commit, and our ignorance of not recognizing sin as sin due to our deviation from the world’s culture. We pray that American churches and saints will be more awake and pray to protect the life God has given them, protect the rights of taxpayers, and establish the justice of God’s kingdom on earth, and that they will protect and preserve the life of God’s creation. “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.” (Luke 12:4) We are grateful that I can speak and teach correctly about abortion and anti-biblical ideology from the pulpit of the church. We sincerely thank you for allowing us to now support politicians without fear of losing our tax exemption. Please bless God’s churches and give the servants of God who are established on the pulpit the boldness of faith so that they can proclaim and teach the word of God correctly as good workers who share food in due time.

• 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.

1. Father God!

The trial of President Lee Jae-myung's alleged 'illegal remittance to North Korea' has also been postponed, and all five criminal trials of President Lee have been suspended. Suwon District Court Criminal Division 11 (Presiding Judge Song Byeong-hoon) announced today (22nd) at the 7th trial preparation date held on the charges of third-party bribery under the Aggravated Punishment Act for Specific Crimes, violation of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, and violation of the Inter-Korean Exchange and Cooperation Act against President Lee, former Gyeonggi Province Peace Vice Governor Lee Hwa-young, and former Ssangbangwool Group Chairman Kim Sung-tae that they will set a date for President Lee's trial at a later date. Postponing a date means changing, delaying, or continuing the date without setting a subsequent date. The trial will not be held until the court sets a new date.

Father God, we earnestly pray that Your kingdom and righteousness will be established in the Republic of Korea in these last days. This land is now in chaos, with power ahead of justice, incitement ahead of truth, and ideology ahead of justice. Taking advantage of the early presidential election held due to the sudden martial law, Lee Jae-myung, pursuing a pro-North Korea and pro-China policy, has become president. As we look at the reality that all criminal trials involving him have been suspended, our hearts cry out to the Lord’s name in pain. In the face of powers that seek to reign above the law, those who have taken their places to avoid the sword of the judiciary, and trends that distort the truth, we do not fear people, but only look at this era with the eyes of discernment and faith in the Word. Now, even the presidential trial has been suspended, and the newly appointed prime minister and ministers of each department are openly showing a dangerous attitude of not considering North Korea as the main enemy. They are openly praising the Kim Il-sung family or embracing communism, which is deeply concerning to the people. Please help us discern that collusion with the Chinese Communist Party, excessive benefits given to the Chinese, indiscriminate spending on the people’s livelihood without considering the country’s debt, political retaliation through special prosecutors, and the complete denial of the previous administration are destroying the foundation of liberal democracy in the Republic of Korea. “If they break my statutes and do not keep my commands, I will punish them with the rod for their sins and with stripes for their iniquities.” (Psalm 89:31-32) As this verse says, we believe God deals with human sins more accurately than anyone else. Please let us respond with an awakened faith and pray, not with fear or despair. Please rebuke those who go against the truth and awaken the churches that compromise with the world. Please shake the spirits within us and raise guards and gospel trumpeters for this age. “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) As this verse says, may the Holy Spirit block all the trends that glorify evil and distort good in this land. Please raise up believers and use them as powerful tools of God in the darkness of the times. Let the Republic of Korea maintain the values and identity of liberal democracy until the end. Let only the gospel of the cross and God's justice be strongly proclaimed in the midst of political chaos and spiritual crisis. Please hold us firmly so that we can keep the mission that each of us has been given and stand victorious in the spiritual battle until the day Jesus returns.

2. Father God!

Pastor Park Han-soo (CEO of Holy Bridge Network) stated this. “When our country was founded in 1948, the ‘Ministry of Social Affairs’ was launched, which continued as the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the ‘Ministry of Gender Equality’ was born in 2001. 2004 it became the ‘Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.’ He pointed out that “we need to pay attention to the history of the name. Since all the spirit and philosophy are contained in the name, ‘Ministry of Gender Equality’ was wrong initially. It started to become biased from that time.” “It seems that there is no difference between gender equality and gender equality, but since it is a world apart, if we remain silent and think that we will figure it out, the world will become increasingly strange and dangerous,” he said. Most citizens are good but indifferent, so a world where the majority is oppressed and discriminated against by a small number of strange people is on the horizon.” He strongly asserted that there is no room for argument that God created man and woman.

Father God, we praise you for still working to fulfill your perfect will. When you created the world in the beginning, I thank you for creating man and woman and giving them a holy order and purpose. However, in this era, thoughts and ideologies that distort the order of creation and oppose God’s will are cleverly packaged under names and dominate society and culture. We see that the generation that does not know God is expanding amidst the confusion of identity and the disintegration of families unfolding under the name of gender equality. Please help us discern the hidden intentions behind the attempt to change the name of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, which began as the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, which has expanded. Please prevent the education, policies, and culture of this land from flowing in a direction that opposes God rather than fearing Him. Please have mercy on the unbiblical ideologies that oppress the conscience and faith of many and instill distorted values in our children. Please let the Korean church no longer be a bystander, but boldly proclaim and confront the justice and order of creation. Please let the education of our children no longer be a testing ground for ideology, and let the confusion between biological and social sex disappear in schools. “In which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience” (Eph 2:2) Please let the church not follow the course of this world, but continue to proclaim the name of Jesus and the prince of the power of the air, and to proclaim faith that can overcome evil. Please let the Holy Spirit work so believers follow only God's will. Please intervene so that the policies of the Republic of Korea are established in the fear of God, not according to human ideology. May those in power bow their knees before the Word of God, and may all false spirits disguised with changing names be exposed and brought down. May this generation rise again and be prepared as a holy generation to prepare the way for the return of Jesus Christ.

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