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.

1. Father God!

# On July 29, the IDF condemned international media for distorting Hamas-manipulated reports of the plight of children in the Gaza Strip as starvation. The United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Egypt, in cooperation with Israel, airlifted 52 relief packages to residents in southern and northern Gaza. The Israeli military demanded that the UN and international relief organizations redirect the rations they are intercepting to the residents, not Hamas. It was confirmed that a 10-hour ceasefire will be implemented daily, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, to expand relief efforts in 25% of the Gaza Strip.

# The ceasefire and hostage release between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip have yet to be agreed upon due to Hamas' unreasonable demands.

Father God, the international community continues to ignore Hamas' distorted war reports and the truth behind the images of starving children, and continues to raise its voice in anti-Semitism. Please discipline the international media that distort and misrepresent Hamas's evil, which intercepts relief supplies from the Gazans and uses them as human shields against Israel. Please protect the Israeli military, which is at war with Hamas' terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip, and pray for the swift return of all 50 hostages remaining in the Gaza Strip. Please comfort and strengthen the families, friends, and relatives of the remaining hostages who, day after day, anxiously await their release. Please secure the remaining hostages suffering under Hamas's evil, grant them the strength to endure to the end, and open the way for negotiations so that they can quickly be released. “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 contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.’” (Isaiah 49:25) According to this word, please rescue the hostages, quickly eliminate Hamas, the enemy who perpetrates such evil and distorts Israel’s story, and completely save Israel. Through this war, “Let your way be known on earth, your salvation among all the nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples extol you. Let all the nations sing for joy and shout for joy, for you judge the peoples righteously and govern the kingdoms on earth.” (Selah) (Psalm 67:2-4) Through these words, may the soldiers on the battlefield and all the people of Israel believe that the battle belongs to the Lord and trust in the mighty and powerful Lord, the Lord God, who is mighty in battle. Through this war, may all the nations of the world realize that the Lord God is protecting Israel and that the written words of God concerning Israel are being fulfilled. “Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you.” Through this war, may your salvation be proclaimed to all the nations, and may they realize and acknowledge the Lord God, who judges and governs the nations and peoples righteously.

# On the 29th, the IDF's secret West Bank unit, Duvdevan, arrested two terrorists from Ramallah and one from Beitunya who were planning an attack on Israel.

# Last Thursday morning, Israeli soldiers standing at a bus stop at the Beit Rid intersection near Kfar Yona were rammed by a car by a terrorist, leaving two seriously injured and six slightly injured. One of the two terrorists has been arrested.

Father God, we pray that the ongoing terrorism in the land of Israel, which is in the throes of war, will cease. Eight soldiers were injured and are receiving treatment as a result of the terrorism. Please touch the wounded soldiers with Your healing hand, and grant them a speedy recovery and comfort. For the past two thousand years, Israel has suffered and been scattered among the nations. Now, "You will arise and have mercy on Zion; the time has come for you to be favored, for the appointed time has come." (Psalm 102:12) According to this verse, may God restore Israel, have mercy on Zion, and bestow His grace upon her. May the churches and believers of all nations recognize that God's appointed time for Israel is drawing near. "And give the Lord no rest, until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth." (Isaiah 62:7) According to this verse, may God, who desires to establish Jerusalem and receive praise, help us serve Him even more, comfort Israel, and obey Him. May He completely save and protect Israel. We pray that the war in Gaza will soon end with Israel's victory, that the Promised Lands will be fully Israel's, and that God's promises to Abraham will be fulfilled.

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

'Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth. Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity. '

(Psalms 96:9-10)

Father God, I (we) pray for Indonesia. 

1. Father God!

# We hear news of wars between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. Furthermore, following the border conflict between India and Pakistan, there are reports of shelling and gunfire on the border between Thailand and Cambodia, resulting in 32 casualties.

# On July 29, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei spoke out against Tehran's continued nuclear program. In an interview with Fox News, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas said the country cannot abandon its uranium enrichment program, which suffered significant damage in the Israel-Iran war last month.

Father God, we continue to hear news of war from all corners of the world. “He made from one man every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, determining their appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they would seek the Lord and perhaps feel for him and find him, although he is not far from each one of us” (Acts 17:26-27). God has set boundaries between nations and wants us to seek and worship Him. However, instead of pursuing Him, the people of this earth are harming one another, destroying the boundaries of their homes, and committing the sins of fighting and war. In particular, Iran is supporting terrorists around Israel and developing nuclear weapons, aiming to wage war against Israel and even wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Please rule over Iran's evil leader, Khamenei, and his evil regime. “When will these things happen? And what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age?” To the disciples who asked, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed. All this 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.” (Matthew 24:6-8) Looking at the Lord’s words, we realize that the end is not yet here, but the disasters have already begun. May the Holy Spirit help us to live with faith and prepare for the tribulation. May the Holy Spirit help God’s children to stay awake and pray for God’s kingdom and righteousness.

From August 4th to 7th, Christian organizations from Korea and the UK will gather at the Westminster Emmanuel Centre in London for a prayer meeting titled "Make the UK Holy Again" for spiritual revival in the UK. "A nation reflects its church. True hope is found in Jesus Christ." This will be held under the theme, "For Individuals, Families, Communities, Cities, and Nations." Please pour out your Holy Spirit upon the prayer meeting titled "Make Britain Sanctified Again." Thank you for allowing us to prepare and pray for the revival of Britain, a Christian nation that began world missions through William Carey and exerted its influence worldwide. In particular, Korea owes a debt of gratitude to British missionary Thomas, who shed his blood as a martyr while preaching the gospel at the Taedong River. We are grateful that Korea will repay this debt of gratitude by praying with British denominations and engaging in field evangelism, thereby blessing Britain. "Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name; make known what he has done among the nations. Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wonderful works. Glorify his holy name. Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face continually." (Psalm 105:1-4) He revived the Korean church and strengthened the nation. Bless the Korean believers who boast of God's works, praise His beautiful name, and pray for the revival of the Church in Britain. Pour your Holy Spirit upon the British believers and churches who join us, and bless them for a new revival. May this opportunity fill the cups of prayer and reveal the works of the Holy Spirit so that Britain can once again proclaim the gospel of the kingdom to the churches of the nations. May you bless our steps as we spread the gospel.

• We (I) prayed for the nations 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. '

(Jeremiah 29:11-12)

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

1. Father God!

On July 18, Children's National Hospital (CNH) in Washington, D.C., announced that it would no longer provide puberty suppressants or sex-change hormones to minors, effective August 30. The hospital also issued a statement citing "increased legal and regulatory risks," citing the suspension of prescribing sex-change hormones to minors. Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Justice issued subpoenas targeting approximately 20 doctors and hospitals that provided sex-change surgeries to minors. Faced by these incidents, a teenager known as "John Doe III" filed a $1 billion medical malpractice lawsuit against hospital staff in July last year. His family alleged that hospital staff called John, who has autism and had no intention of changing his gender, a female name at the hospital after he self-harmed. He also alleged that after implementing a "Gender Diversity and Transgender Autism Youth Clinical Services Model," they attempted to take custody of him from his Christian parents by placing him in foster care with a transgender priest on the hospital's staff.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for blocking this movement through the conservative administration when transgender ideology puts minors at risk in the United States. Shortly after taking office, President Trump signed an executive order to "protect children from chemical and surgical modification." We also thank you for directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to halt funding for medical facilities that continue to perform these procedures on minors. Furthermore, in Puerto Rico, Governor Gonzalez-Colón has enacted a blanket ban on gender reassignment surgery for anyone under 21. We also thank you for signing legislation to block public funds from being used for this purpose and to ensure that minors are not yet emotionally, cognitively, and physically mature enough to make decisions that will have permanent consequences. Please work for justice in the trial that resulted from the hospital's failure to adequately address John's injuries and other mental health issues, and protect his parents and family. "So God created man in his image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:27). May all evil acts that violate the order of creation, in which God created heaven and earth and created man as male and female in His image, be wholly eradicated from the land of America. May we become a nation that fears and serves our Creator, God.

2. Father God!

The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) has incorporated Executive Order 14201 into its transgender policy, banning men from participating in women's Olympic sports. The USOPC's policy change will take effect August 1, before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Sports events nationwide will implement President Trump's executive order to "exclude men from women's sports."

Heavenly Father, we pray that the United States Olympic Committee's faithful decision will influence the global Olympics, banning all men from participating in women's sports. The USOPC's policy change requires that all sports federations of all ages adhere to it. We thank you for this policy change, which frees female athletes from the long-standing inequities that have deprived trans men of opportunities to participate in sports and the substantial and severe inequality they face in access to facilities, coaching, and equipment. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but powerful through God for pulling down strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, taking captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:4) "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32) By this verse, USA Fencing changed its eligibility policy for transgender and non-binary athletes on Friday, excluding men from official women's competitions. We pray that the USOPC's decision, especially in the run-up to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, will profoundly impact global sports and restore the order of creation.

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

'Thus you will walk in the ways of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous. For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.'

(Proverbs 2:20-22)

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

The "Seminar for the Abolition of the Jeju Peace and Human Rights Charter (Anti-Discrimination Act)" was held at Jeju Yeongnak Church on Sunday, July 27th, at 4:00 PM. It called for the abolition of the Jeju Peace and Human Rights Charter. In the resolution, Jeju residents stated, "Governor Oh Young-hoon committed acts of discrimination and human rights violations against Jeju residents while drafting the Human Rights Charter." "He completely excluded and ignored the opinions of residents with opposing views, violating their right to equality. The process of enacting the Jeju Peace and Human Rights Charter, which is proceeding in this way while ignoring residents' opinions, is unjustifiable."

Heavenly Father, we thank You for allowing those who hold fast to Your Word of truth to speak up against all attempts to destroy society, education, and the order of our lives by turning away from the truth and promoting lies and distorted justice. The Jeju Peace and Human Rights Charter, currently being drafted in Jeju Island, ostensibly promotes peace and human rights, but it conceals toxic provisions of the Anti-Discrimination Act, which the majority of the public opposes. In response, residents are raising their voices, claiming that these laws could undermine God's created order and suppress their conscience and freedom of expression. "Everything that is condemned is made manifest by the light, for everything that is made manifest is light" (Ephesians 5:13). As this verse says, may all things that undermine the order established by God be exposed before the light of Yeshua, and may all evil laws and regulations that seek to undermine biblical values, the foundation of the family, and the created order of man and woman never take root in this land. "Turn away from evil and do good, and you will live forever. For the Lord loves justice and does not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off" (Psalm 37:27-28). Father God, may all the churches and saints of this land wake up and pray, and may they strive to turn away from evil and do good. God has promised that He will not abandon those who love justice. May all believers living in this time stand firm in the truth and live as those who receive the grace of eternal protection. Furthermore, may the Korean church be blessed to be firmly established as a church fulfilling its mission for this age.

2. Father God!

The Christian Council of Korea (Chairman Rev. Koh Kyung-hwan, hereinafter referred to as the CCK) held its third WEA Countermeasures Seminar on July 29th at the CCK Hall in Jongno, Seoul. Professor Moon Byung-ho (Systematic Theology) of the Graduate School of Theology at Chongshin University and Theological Seminary spoke about the following: Under the theme, "Criticizing the WEA's Neo-Evangelical Theology and Ecumenical Activities: Seeking Theological Unity with the Roman Catholic Church by Riding the WCC and Moving Toward Inclusivism, Syncretism, and Pluralism," he pointed out the "injustices" of the WEA's Seoul Assembly. Professor Moon stated, "The WEA is riding the coattails of the WCC's ecumenical theology and activities, moving toward inclusivism, syncretism, and pluralism. The WEA's identity is clearly revealed in the profiles of its president, general secretary, committee chairs, organization representatives, and related theologians. Many are also World Council of Churches members and openly display their friendship with the Roman Catholic Church. He recently expressed a positive stance on Islam and the New Apostolic Movement.

Father God, thank you for allowing me to pray that the church may be established as the body of the Lord, distinct from the world, yet not of it. As a believer in the last days, I desire to live a life set apart solely by the Word of God's truth. The Korean church currently shows a dangerous tendency toward compromise in faith in the face of syncretistic ecumenical movements like the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA). Please help us become churches that awaken and respond to the warning trumpets of Reformed theologians who wake up the church and sound the warning trumpet with sound discernment. The WEA is moving toward inclusivism, syncretism, and pluralism, riding on the ecumenical theology and activities of the World Council of Churches (WCC). Please block this trend, which is subtly infiltrating the church under the guise of "evangelicalism," with the mighty hand of the Holy Spirit. "A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I tell you, you are not a little yeast." I am confident in the Lord that I will not be of another mind. But anyone who disturbs you will be subject to judgment” (Galatians 5:9–10). Please help us remember that even small compromises can ultimately destroy the church, muddy the gospel, and lead believers into apathetic syncretism. As a bit of yeast permeates the whole lump, please protect us from small theological concessions and spiritual indifference violating the truth. Please instill in those pushing to host the WEA General Assembly the fear of God and grant them sound discernment so that the Korean church can maintain the purity of the gospel and never compromise. Empower the Korean church with the power of the Holy Spirit. Please help us hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to the churches in the last days and stand firm on the truth so that the churches will not ignore the warning voice given through Reformed theologians. Remember that we are sanctified through the Word and prayer. Let us hold on to the gospel of the cross of Yeshua and maintain the purity of our faith. May we become holy brides who protect until the end. Please quickly withdraw the bid to host the WEA General Assembly in Seoul, scheduled for October 2025, and let a work of unity unfold only in truth, not in an external, mixed union. “Catch us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards, for our vineyards are in bloom” (Song of Solomon 2:15). Please protect and guard the Korean church in the name of Yeshua so that it may understand the mystery of the one new man with Israel and build the church as the body of the Lord.

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