Ask God to save the souls of Islamic extremists

We know the danger that Islamic extremists bring to the world with their terror attacks, as well as their prayers that often become the curses toward Israel and the rest of the world.  Especially during Ramadan time, the destructive power of Islamic extremists can increase enormously (for example, the deadly suicide bomb attacks in the Indonesian city of Surabaya this year, and the Philippine City that was besieged by Islamic State-linked militants. Let us declare the following:

  • In the name of Jesus, the blessings and the peace of God will replace all the curses from Islamic extremists.
  • In the name of Jesus, all the terror attacks that Islamic extremists plan will fail and be interrupted before they even start.
  • In the name of Jesus, the salvation and grace of God will come into the lives of these Islamic extremists.

Ask God to save the souls of the LGBT group

In addition, the trend of LGBT is actively searching its way in the schools of every nation, pushing the legalization of homosexual education and same-sex marriage. Therefore, we need to pray and declare the followings everyday:

  • In the name of Jesus, the promotion of LGBT ideology all over the world will fail, including the legalization of same-sex marriage and homosexual education.
  • In the name of Jesus, the grace of God and salvation will come to LGBT group.
  • In the name of Jesus, one husband and one wife system will be restored all over the world.

Country transformation of Uganda

I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob’s descendants, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, the Lord, speak the truth; I declare what is right. (Isaiah 45:19)

Just only twenty years ago, every bad things you can image that can happen, happened in Uganda: dictator that involved with witchcraft, grand human sacrifices, and much persecution and killing of Christians. Many pastors were held in prison; AIDS reached as high as 34%, of the proportion, and the proportion of Christians is very scarce. If there are 5 people in the church, it is the “best” condition.

Since independence in 1962 to 1986, Uganda experienced a total of ten presidents; during the war, one is crueler than another, especially when Idi Amin was in power, he listed Islam as a state religion, killing millions of innocent people, and the secret tactic of evil spirits was running rampant, and a lot of Christians are persecuted. After Amin stepped down, Uganda continued to suffer from AIDS, leaving the country helpless. The United Nations Health Organization even announced that it was the country most affected by AIDS. Why is Uganda always a place of hardship and disaster in the eyes of the world?

Uganda was transformed miraculously

Twenty years later, today there are 90% of Christians in Uganda, only 6% of Muslims, signs and wonders and miracles swept across the country, leaders of the government, the military, and the business community have been reborn and saved. Even when the Christian president came to power, the government cabinet also had a “Moral Integrity Department”, which made a thousand-year vows with God to dedicate the country to God. Then AIDS patients miraculously recovered, Uganda’s economy began to flourish, rank second in the developed economies of Africa. How did Uganda turn things around? How was this all done?

All this is from the church in Uganda came together to earnestly pray for the country in accordance with God’s will! Uganda is the center of Africa. Some scholars describe it as the womb of Africa and carried the ancient civilization. Uganda has a long and spiritual history. From 1775 gospel was brought to Uganda, the power of darkness rises to fight with the kingdom of light. When white missionaries and local leaders clash and were forced to leave, a small number of black believers gathered to pray and even fast, so the Christian faith was able to be preserved, and the missionaries was able to send letters through Arab merchants to encourage the precious warriors of gospel.

In 1886, when the tyrannical king established Islam as the state religion, demolished the church and persecuted the Christians, and took the leader to the court for trial, many young believers were martyred. In 1893, the lukewarm spirit entered the church, and all fellowship stopped gathering, barely maintaining the worship of the Lord on Sunday. Until one day in 1915, a believer threw the baptism certificate to the pastor, indicating that he no longer believed in the Lord, because he was fed up with this kind of hypocrisy, living as a double-life. The young pastor cried out to the Lord in the secret place in the inner chamber, and repented to the congregation publically during the Sunday church sermon, immediately he received a response, from that moment on the church began to revive, the love of God entered the family, and influenced the neighbors. From 1775 until 1990, Uganda’s churches had undergone 6 transformational movements, testifying the miraculous power of God.

The key to prayer in the Uganda Great Revival

In the 1970s, President Amin came to power, he slaughtered ministers, and killed millions of innocent people… During that dark time, Christians hid in the jungle to gather and pray for the country, to intercede day and night. When the church in Uganda began to pray for the country in accordance with God’s will, the tyrant Amin stepped down two years later. At that time, Pastor John mulinde who God had chosen to lead the great transformation of Uganda, shared the prayer of breakthrough for the land, was to “establish an altar.” Pastor John put forth “Abraham’s strategy”, the most important strategy is to establish a personal prayer altar. No matter what industry you are engaged in, everyone can have a life style of prayer and maintain a heart and mind and habit of willingness to lay down oneself at any moment to commune with God. Establish a network of prayers that are in alignment with God.

Pastor John Mulinde heard God say, “Give me a net, I will pull your country out of trouble…” he continued to pray and seeks and understood the meaning of that “net” means a network of unified prayer. Unless Uganda begins to establish a network of unified prayers, individuals cannot face Uganda’s ruling power in the air alone, unless there is a vision that transcends individual ministries and sects, and expands to see God’s intentions toward Uganda, people cannot overcome the power of the evil forces in the air, it would be impossible to establish the kingdom of God in Uganda.

Thank the Lord, by relying on the Lord, Pastor John and his team did it. ” if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”(2 Chronicles 7:14) By praying for the spiritual environment of Uganda, and rebuking the spirit of the sorcerer, pleading and praying as if birthing pain for the revival and change, the incredible thing happened – now Uganda has taken on a new look, people are proud of being Ugandans, this is the result of the power of prayer!

No matter where you are, Pastor John Mulinde said: “Transformation begins with the longing for the living water of Jesus Christ.” In the face of the chaos and needs of the end times, rise up and build your altar (individual altar – family altar – church altar), and hand and hands join with in the nationwide prayer network and pray together with earnestness!

How Lovely is Your Dwelling Place

Psalm 84:1 “How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty!”

Dear Abba Father, How lovely is Your dwelling place! There is goodness wherever You go, wherever You are, because You are beautiful and altogether lovely. How we long to be in Your dwelling place, to be with You, to be close to You, to look upon You and to enjoy Your presence. Father, Your dwelling place is where we find lovingkindness and mercy; Your sanctuary is where we seek after You and gaze upon the beauty of Your glory. You surpass all that is beautiful and is altogether trustworthy. Oh Father, can You hear our heart cry that we rather live one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere? Have You seen our eyes of longing that we rather be the doorkeepers in the house of God than dwell in the tents of the wicked? Oh Abba Father, we want to be united with You moment by moment, like branches connected to the vine; this is what our hearts desire. We bow before You, Father! Take us to Your dwelling place of glory!

In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen!

Repentance


[Back to Top]



Repentance for the City 02

My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.” (Hosea 4:6)

If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. (James 4:17)

Lord please forgive us, as we have only minded own business, and have not interceded for our city, having grown indifferent towards it, allowing the enemy to slowly devour the political and educational systems in our cities, as well as the minds and thoughts of the rulers, resulting in all kinds of perversion in our cities.

The many sexually-confusing policies passed by our governments have polluted the minds of our children greatly. Lord, please forgive us for not participating in government voting according to biblical principles, as well as fearing men over God. We have believed in the authority of political parties over biblical teaching; we know what is good, yet have not acted accordingly. Our silence and ignorance have fueled the unrighteous and unjust governmental rulership, allowing the enemy to trample our cities. For this, please forgive us, Lord!

Holy Spirit, we ask You to breathe the breath of life into the spirits of Your people. That we would all be awakened, becoming the army of the Lord, in unity, interceding for our cities until we see transformation and revival.

In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen!

Pray For Nations


[Back to Top]


[Editor’s note:  In these forty days, we will first pray for the countries participating in this fasting prayer.   After that, we will pray daily for the countries in the continent according to the continents of the world.  We will select three to four countries / regions and pray for them everyday.]

Portuguese Republic

[Country Profile: Since the 16th century, Portugal has become a maritime power in the era of great voyages. It has established the world’s first colonial empire across Africa, Asia, Oceania and South America.   Its territory once included 53 countries, which made Portuguese the common mother tongue of 240 million people.   After the declaration of independence in Brazil, the most important colony of Portugal in 1822, the Portuguese state quickly fell apart. In 1910, the Portuguese royal family was overthrown by the revolution, ushering in the era of the First Republic. In 1974, the armed forces composed of middle and lower-level officers broke out the anti-war Carnation Revolution, and Portugal became a free and democratic country again.
After the global financial crisis in 2008, the Portuguese economy has been sluggish. The unemployment rate climbed, and exports plummeted. Although the economy of most EU countries has gradually recovered, the economic growth rate of Portugal has still been lower than the EU average. In 2011, Portugal accepted the EU’s $78 billion euros (about $87 billion US dollars) bail-out loans; its economy did not recover until 2014. At present, the financial situation has improved slightly, but the domestic investment environment has deteriorated, the solvency has been greatly reduced, and the debt crisis is imminent. The unemployment rate in June 2016 was approximately 11.2%. In recent years, young people in Portugal have become more and more serious in drug abuse. According to statistics, more than 50% of young people have taken drugs.
Spiritual Situation: In 1976, the Portuguese Constitution reaffirmed the policy of separation of church and state and guaranteed freedom of belief in all religions. At present, 84.5% of the Portuguese people believe in Catholicism, 9% uncertain, 3.9% have no religious belief, and 2.2% believe in other religions. In recent years, the number of Christians in Portugal has dropped sharply. About 11% of Catholic families have lost their faith. The number of evangelical churches has decreased from 1,630 in 2000 to 964 in 2016. The Muslim community is mostly composed of new immigrants from previous African colonies (Mozambique and Guinea Bissau), North Africa (mainly Morocco) and India. In 2010, Portugal officially became the 8th country in the world to recognize same-sex marriage, but it was stipulated that homosexual marriages were not allowed to adopt children.]
Pray for Portugal
Hosea 6:3, “Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge Him. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”
  • Pray for the government: May God reign in the Portuguese government and raise the godly officials and leaders with heavenly wisdom and positive actions. Help them get rid of corruption. May the political parties collaborate and cooperate to deal with the financial dilemma and EU debt crisis. Give them wisdom and strategy to improve the investment environment and revitalize the economic development
  • Pray for the church: May God forgive the Church for its complacency and lukewarmness, that they did not stand up in the gap and voice their opposition to same-sex marriage. We pray for the flames of the Holy Spirit to once again provoke the Church and lead them to return to the Lord, eagerly repenting to seek God and establishing prayer altars in unity. We pray that the Church will boldly proclaim the truth of forgiveness and repentance, advance the gospel in one accord, and hold on to the pure truth of Christian faith so that they may experience spiritual revival, transform and bless this country.
  • Pray for Christians: Abba Father, we ask You to breath Your spirit into Your sons and daughters of Portugal, to awake their souls so that they will pursue God in a deeper way and read the Word of God earnestly. Help them become rooted in the rock of Your love and truth. We pray for the Holy Spirit to stir up the children of God to deeply love the souls of their neighbors, to care the young generation and help release them out of the bondage of drug abuse and transgressions, so that the refugees and the Muslims may return to God.
  • Pray for President De Souza and Prime Minister Costa: Heavenly Father, we pray that Your holiness and righteousness fill in the hearts of President De Souza and Prime Minister Costa, so that they honor You and rely on You for the wisdom they need, to lead the country into political stability, to maintain a good relationship with other EU countries, and to deal with the debt crisis. We pray that they will fear You in humility and lead the whole nation to sanctify You name.

[ Background:  The Democratic Republic of Congo is the second largest nation in Africa according to their acreage, and is the wealthiest nation in the world according to natural resources per square mile. There are over 200 ethnic groups in the whole nation, having over 700 local languages.

However, civil war broke out due to internal struggle for natural resources and political struggle, causing ruin to the national economy and hardship to the population.   Due to continuous war, one of the main weapons of warfare is to sexually assault women of the opponents: as a result, many women and even young children were abused by soldiers and wicked men, so much that many families and societies were abandoned and many became without comfort and help.  Also stemming from war, many have died from preventable or curable diseases, such as cholera, tuberculosis, HIV etc.   Furthermore, the deadly Ebola virus is spreading in the North of the nation, and the World Health Organization is calling out for the neighboring countries to take preventative measures.  The term for president Joseph Kabila has already expired in December 2016 but he has refused to relinquish power, leading to multiple internal conflicts.

Send Your angels to supernaturally eradicate various diseases, especially the deadly Ebola virus. Show Your glory that they may experience Your power and love, that they see hope in hopelessness and turn wholeheartedly toward You.
  • Pray for the sexually-abused women and children: Heavenly Father, open Your eyes and lend us Your ear, to fight against these perpetrators and save and heal the victims from violence. Embrace, comfort and encourage them with Your love. End the public silence regarding such violence, and that the government is able to enforce laws to stop such violence against women and children, that they may no longer suffer shame and pain, and no longer be abandoned by family and society.

(Source:Kingdom Prayer Network)]


Religion

[Background: In the past, the American Evangelical Church, as well as the majority of churches around the world, did not encourage believers to participate in politics, which gave Satanism, Homo group and Freemasonry, opportunity to sneak in to control political field and the judiciary, and succeeded in control and manipulate national laws and legislation and the entire national policies, to the point even the church is forced to recognize the legalization of gay marriage, and prohibits Christians from entering the campus and public places for legal religious practices – such as praying on campus, Bible study, evangelism, and even praying in the sport events are prohibited. In addition, church pastors are not allowed to refuse to marry gay or lesbian on the basis of their beliefs.  As a result, Christian churches today cannot affect and balance the direction of the country and society from going toward moral corruption. These are the results of church in the past failed to capture the opportunity to invest and participate in seven major realm to bring about transformation.

Therefore, the country must be transformed, the church must rise up, to equip saints, enter into the work places on the seven mountains and possess the land. The church must equip people with talents to enter into seven mountains of government, business, family, education, media, and art to pray and to transform and testify the gospel.

  •  The church is in the workplace: In the name of the Lord, the church must fully support and train believers in their fields of expertise, such as politics, business, entertainment, media, economics and the arts. To be the fisher of man like Jesus, and participate in pastoral teaching, to train disciples, to equip the saints, everyone do their part, and build up the body of Christ.
  • Leaders from seven professional fields work together as one: Ask God to give the heart of Jesus Christ to spiritual leaders in all fields of expertise around the world, not take side, not be greedy and vain, and be humble, to support each other, to complete the commission of the Father in agreement. Ask God to raise up apostles in the workplace, open the door to social transformation and transferring of wealth, and circulate the resources of the kingdom of God, so that the kingdom of God can be extended to all parts of the world.
  • Establish prayer altars and fire walls everywhere: Ask God to raise prayer warriors that can stand in the gap of the family, the workplace, the city, and the nations, faithfully to watch and pray until you see the glory of God fills the earth.   Calling the watchmen who gives reverence to Your name and obey Your commands, watch and pray day and night, and blow the trumpet, so that they can issue a warning when the enemy is attacking, so that the body of Christ can unite against these attacks. Let the sound of watchman never cease.
  •  Establish a global network of prayers: Ask God to reveal and inspire the prayer altars around the world, prayer fire walls and prayer networks, to be willing to connect with each other, and build a global network of prayers that unite the prayer army of the kingdom of God and consolidate and concentrate firepower. To align with God, in accordance with the will of God, bring the revival to the whole earth, and bring the harvest of the whole earth.

Pray For Israel



Pray for overseas Jews to immigrate to Israel / Aliyah

[Background: Currently, if people with Jewish blood wish to immigrate to Israel, they would first submit an application to the Department of Interior.  After that their application will be turned over to the Jewish Agency (the Aliyah Department).  This agency would then do further background check including Goggle search for personal files.  Some of such effort can result in reports with more than 200 pages.  If a person is found to be a Messianic Jew or is affiliated with Christianity, this person’s application will be automatically rejected.  Such practice has been criticized and noted by the US State Department’s annual report: Freedom of Religion Report.  The report raised concern that this practice is only against Christianity and not against other religions such as Reform Judaism, atheism, Buddhism, Christian Science, or Hinduism.  (The above news came from “Jerusalem Post.”)]

Abba Father:

We ask You to overturn current Israel immigration policy against Messianic Jews.

  • According to Your timing, call Your people around the world to return to their homeland.  Grant them grace to hear Your call.  “In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coast lands of the sea. He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. (Isaiah 11:11-12)
  •  We ask You to release millions of Jews in America to return to their homeland.  For those in Europe, we ask You to stir their heart for Aliyah in light of rampant anti-Semitism. For those in South Africa, we ask You to stir them up for Aliyah in light of recent political and economics shakings. By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion.  How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land?” (Psalm 137: 1, 4)
  • We ask You to strengthen new immigrants with Your joy.  Help them learn Hebrew, find a way to support their family and integrate into society.
  •  Raise up people to help Jews from the nations to return to their homeland.  “Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and raise my signal to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.” (Isaiah 49:22)

 

Abba Father, in the name of Jesus we declare:

  • Sent Your spirit of repentance into Israel, to save the souls of Israel.
  • Holy Spirit send Your fire, to cleanse Israel, especial the heart of the people in the places and their residents where the gay parade had passed through.
  • Replace the wrong and twisted concept of same sex marriage, with the Truth of the bible and the godly marriage value, so the one husband and one wife, one man and one woman, can be fully restored in Israel!
  • Awaken the heart of the young generation, to rediscover the value of Christian family, give them a hate for the homosexual concept, and say “NO” to same sexual marriage and its behavior.
  • In the name of Jesus we declare, the fire of the Holy Spirit will rend the heaven and come down and burn down and abolish the stronghold of homosexuality in Israel, declare that our God reign, establish Your throne in Israel, revive Israel to be Your holy Kingdom.

We pray,

  • Forgiveness: Ask God to forgive the Israeli government to allow homosexual parades throughout Israel.
  • Cleansing: Ask God to cleanse the soul that has been defiled, and thoroughly cleanse and break the influence of homosexuality.
  • Blessings and Curses: Ask the Lord to let Israel commemorate the words of God’s blessings on mount Gerizim, and use the words of God’s curse on the mount Ebalto knock open their hearts, so they will have the fear of the Lord, and turn back to God.
  • The love of Jesus: The love of Jesus being released among the ultra-orthodox and liberal Jews, let the truth of God to bring them freedom. Bind the strong men who make them hate each other, give peace and unite with each other.
  • Pure and clean heart: May God restore Israel’s pure and clean heart toward Christ, and be dedicate to Christ alone.

Praying for the turmoil of Gaza-the border

[In the news: 8/9 Hamas fired more than 150 rockets into the Israeli Gaza border residential areas; there were some injuries in Israel.  Israel also retaliated with rockets at  140 Hamas’  military locations in Gaza. The long-term cease-fire  negotiations between the two sides was interrupted. Hamas said the move was in retaliation for Israel’s assassination of its members and the blockade of the Gaza Strip. Iran has expressed its support and will do everything in its power to support Palestinian resistance to Israel. The Israeli military said that the Hamas attack on Israel is still under Iranian manipulation. Israel does not rule out retaliation against Iran.

At least 150 rockets have fallen into Israel, and the country’s “Iron Dome” anti-missile system has intercepted at least 11 incoming rockets. Although the interception rate is much lower than expected, the Israeli military said it’s big. Some rockets have fallen into the open space, so the iron scorpion anti-missile system will not intercept these targets. ]

  • Pray for the Israeli residents of the Gaza border and nearby: May God show His mercy upon the lives of the Israelites on the Gaza border and minimize the disaster.
  • Pray for the Muslim people in Gaza: Ask God’s salvation to come to the innocent people, and let them know the one true God of the supremacy.
  • Pray for the Israeli government: Pray for God to pray for the humble spirit, touch the heart of Netanyahu, and lead the people of the country to fast and pray to seek the king of Joshua, as in 20 Chronicles of the Chronicles, to lead all Israel together. To seek God’s help and salvation, to give wisdom and peace to the Israeli government, to immediately stop Hamas attacks and prevent the expansion of war.
  • Ask God to awaken the people of Gaza to rise up against Hamas – one of the evil leaders who control Gaza.
  • Ask God to cutoff  the connection of the dark power between Hamas and Iran.

Pray For Iran – Israel’s Greatest Enemy

[Background: The state of Iran is still the archenemy of Israel, which also exert control over the Hezbollah, the Assad regime in Syria and Hamas, (and a few others). Iran is beginning a major naval exercise in the Strait of Hormuz, This channel controls access to the Persian Gulf and affects many countries outside Iran. This prompted a strong reaction between the United States and Israel.  At the same time, internal turmoil is growing in Iran due to economic problems and people’s protest riots over the regime.

In addition, when the US restarted its economic sanctions against Iran, its Iranian national currency depreciated sharply and prices soared. However, the economic turmoil has also affected the brothers and sisters of the Iranian church. The economic materials are very scarce and it is difficult to spend the day. Please pray for them. ]

We pray that God will

  • Keep Israel alert and vigilant, give them wisdom: God keep Israel alert and vigilant, and respond prudently to each action that Iran is taking. Grant wisdom to Israeli and American military leaders, so that they would be able to discern and respond sensibly to what Iran is doing and expressing in public. (Proverbs 8:14-16)
  • Shake the political leadership of Iran. Break the bow of Elam: according to God’s promise, may the bow of Elam be broken, and the kings and princes be destroyed. (Jeremiah 49:35, 38)
  • Break the links of Iran with Hezbollah and Hamas: May the Lord use internal uprisings to break the links of Iran with Hezbollah and Hamas.
  • Raising up churches in Iran: use the thriving church in Iran to cause the nation to steer away from the current evil path. (II Chronicle 7:14).
  • Awaken the people: the people will not be deceived by the evil government, they will stand up and make their voices be heard and demand the changes be made in the leadership of the government, to govern the nation with truth and righteousness, so the life of the people will be in peace and safety.
  • Strengthens the Christian brothers and sisters in Iran: Lord, we pray that the peace that transcends all understanding and pure joy in times of trials will fill them up with hope through the Holy Spirit. Cause them to know that God is sovereign and is in full control. He is in the process of shaking, demolishing and restraining. God is establishing for Himself His throne and stronghold in Iran. Pray that God supernaturally meets both the spiritual and physical needs of the brothers and sisters in Iran according to His faithfulness.
