Urgent Prayers for Nations
Pray for the fire in northern California
[Background: The wildfire that is currently raging in Northern California has turned into a firestorm from the evening of Thursday (July 26). The tornado formed by the flame uprooted the tree and cast it onto the building. The wildfire has already burnt or is threatening around 5000 structures. The life and property of 90, 000 residents of the city of Redding, where Bethel Church is located, are being threatened.
The fire was caused by the strong winds of 40 kilometers per hour and the high temperature of 43 degrees Celsius. Two firefighters were killed, at least 65 buildings were burnt down, and 37,000 residents were forced to evacuate. According to the current fire situation, if the situation is not controlled immediately, hundreds of buildings will be damaged. Bethel Church has urgently requested the body of Christ to intercede . ]

Pray for the Persecuted Christians in Nigeria
[Current events: Nigerian Christians were attacked for 4 consecutive days on 6/22-25, resulting in 11 Christian villages in Plateau State being razed to the ground with more than 200 dead and thousands of people without home. These attacks were targeted as part of an integrated plan to Islamize Nigeria. In 2018 alone Fulani militants in central Nigeria have killed more than 6000 Christians along with burning houses and churches. Some new believers have forsaken their faith because of prejudice and poor living conditions. As persecutions of Christians around the world intensify, we need to stand with our suffering brothers and sisters.]
Acts 12:5 “So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-11 “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
Dear Abba Father,
We ask You to stop the violent attacks and persecution against Christians with Your mighty power: bring offenders to justice and terminate any movement to “Islamize” Nigeria. Mobilize the global church to pray earnestly for the persecuted Christians. Lord, give to those in Nigeria Your sufficient grace, and strengthen them. Let the power of Christ rest upon them so that they will stand firm and remain patient and strong in faith in all their persecutions and tribulations. We pray for the martyrs’ families and the destroyed churches and homes. Lord, bring goodness from the ashes and turn the present sufferings into a great glory in the future. Send the Spirit of Shalom to the communities and raise up Christian ministries to support and comfort them. We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Pray For Israel
Pray for Israel’s Salvation
Jeremiah 31:33-34 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, “Know the LORD,” for they shall all know me, “from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
Dear Father, we come before Your throne of grace and ask You to forgive Israel for not knowing You. Forgive them for honoring the teachings and traditions of men more than You. Although they are well versed in Torah, they do not know Your truth. Lord, reveal Your truth to them so that their hearts will no longer be blinded by men’s traditions. You shall fulfill the word of Your promise to Israel in Jeremiah 31:33-34 and that they will come to know Jesus as their Messiah and receive true peace.
