Repentance Prayer: Repentance for the Country 04
(Editor’s Note: This prayer is for the national election. If there is no election in your country, you can pray for the nation God has put in your heart. )
Abba Father! Our national election is coming soon. There were all kinds of lies, confusion, and monetary interests in our past elections. The candidates worked with business interest groups and accepted many political contributions and ended up with many candidates elected that were not beneficial for the people. These interest groups put forth various bad policies. Political elections are no longer electing qualified and capable people, but manipulated by money. In order to be elected, politicians are lying, deceiving, confusing, make promises they can’t keep, and the people are confused or influenced by many election strategies of mutual attacks. The news media has also become a platform for parties to argue with each other. We as sons and daughters of God never interceded seriously for the sins of the chaos in politics, and even pointing fingers and criticize them like the world putting aside the responsibility Father gave us to manage.
Please forgive our sins and cleanse us of our unrighteousness! We also break and cancel the negative criticisms we made by following the media, the election hype, agreed with some of the false accusations, and untrue words. In the name of Jesus, we declared all the negative words null and void. Lord Jesus.
Lord, You rule over the elections in our nation, release the mighty angels, and the heavenly army to watch all over the land and fight for us. Bind the demonic spirits and destroy the dark forces of the enemy, so that all the injustice and unrighteousness and power struggles in the elections will be completely avoided. Wake up the people, uplift the truth and justice, so that every election process can be completed successfully fair and square. May the godly people be elected to the right position. May the power transition go smoothly. May Your will be done on earth as in heaven!
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pray for Libya – An Opportunity In War
【Background: Libya, in northern Africa, is the “Gulina” mentioned in many places in the Bible. The Simon that carried the cross for the Lord Jesus is from Gulina. Back in the early church, the gospel was quite prosperous in Libya. But after the 7th century, Arabs entered Libya, the church that was already fragile crumbled and most of the people became Sunni Muslims.
Long-Term Wars: The Arab Spring Movement of 2011 caused Libya’s authoritarian dictator Gaddafi to be killed. Libya has since fallen into a civil war situation in which radical organizations have been contending for hegemony. Now, the new government has been established, but the domestic armed forces and the government forces have been in constant conflict with the armed forces.
Spiritual Conditions: Today, Libya Arabs are one of the most unreached groups in the world. It is estimated that 28 out of 40 ethnic groups have not heard of the gospel. Sharing the gospel with Muslims is extremely difficult and dangerous under the supervision of the former Libyan government’s secret police. Now that the country is in turmoil, it has brought about a wonderfully opportunity. People’s attitude towards Christianity is changing, showing more openness and more curiosity.
Christians Are Being Persecuted: there are 37,000 Christians in Libya, but they have been living in persecution, killing, trampling, and forcing them to hide their identity. Presently, Libya has become the top five most persecuted Christians in the world, but Libya is one of the fastest growing Christian countries in the world. The gospel message transmitted by the Internet satellite is attracting a large number of people. In addition, long-term wars have caused many Libyans to leave the country, and some have the opportunity to hear the gospel abroad.

“Conquest 2019” was the largest Multi Cultural gathering ever orchestrated in the NorthWest perhaps in the U.S.
It was birthed from a vision of the Lord given the Pastor Victor Alvarizares senior pastor of Fathers House International in Portland Oregon for 20 years. 1 year he had the vision, having never put together a gathering of this magnitude and knowing that finances were a concern prayed and asked the Lord if this gathering was indeed His will that He would show Victor how to proceed and to begin to bring forth funding. He shared his vision with the church leaders during the meeting about 30,000$ was raised and Victor’s conformation of 25,000 was superceded.
This began the journey to gather the Nations. Somewhere along the line he was put in contact with Lynda Prince. Lynda explained the role First Nations have in this end times push and how they have the spiritual authority on the land. She explained the importance of recognizing the host people and honoring them. After the conversation Victor understood the position of First Nations have. With this understanding the vision of the 120 drums was explained. Pastor Victor saw clearly and asked Lynda to come with the 120 drums.
First Nations of North America opened the conference with honoring and protocol of the host tribes of the region thereby opening up the portholes of heaven.
Later on mid morning Lynda introduced the 120 drums and the invitation for the people to participate in releasing the sound. The people were deeply moved by playing the drums. Many reports are still coming in. Later that afternoon another invitation was given for the people to participate, We lined the hallway inside the convention center and played the drums as others went to the streets of Portland to invite people to the evening session (Mathew 22: 9). In between the afternoon and evening sessions there was a wedding reception upstairs and I witnessed the bride enter the building with her beautiful gown and bridesmaids.
Sunday afternoon there was a report of a highly unusual tornado touch down outside of Portland. We went to Washington for worship Sunday evening and there were reports of over 1250 lightning strikes within 3 hours around the Seattle area. (Click HERE for the news report.)
Praise Father God YHWH for letting me participate in His End time reconciliation and restoration of all things preparing for His return. Glory to God in the Highest.

Pray For Hong Kong: Pray for Young People in Hong Kong
【Current Affairs: The “Anti-Extradition Bill” protest movement in Hong Kong has exceeded 100 days. Despite the fact that Hong Kong Prime Minister Lin Zhengyue finally announced the withdrawal of the regulations, the movement has long evolved into a universal movement for democracy and freedom. Its long duration, and the large number of participants, the negative consequences of Hong Kong’s political economy and society have caused global concern.
It has been reported that students and people of Hong Kong are even ready to die for Hong Kong. Some have already done it. They firmly believe that only by death can the way to freedom be open. This is the greatest sacrifice that can be made to the native land. We must not forget them. Many students face enormous family pressure, and some of them are even forced to leave their homes, but they insist on fighting at the front line, carrying their own “written will”, they have made up their minds, they understand freedom, and always willing to pay the price , and they choose to take this only way to bring resolution.
Please pray that God will intervene and the glory of God will fall. Only God’s love can save Hong Kong, transform Hong Kong, resolve hatred, give peace, and build a harmonious society. Pray that God will help these young people as they make this fearless sacrifice.

Pray for China: Pray for Sino-US Trade Negotiations
【Current Events: In the early 1990s, trade and investment between the United States and China developed quite rapidly. Leaders on both sides began to pay close attention and take action to avoid conflicts and safeguard common interests. Since July 6 last year, the US government has started to impose tariffs on Chinese goods since the beginning of the 301-term investigation. Since the trade war has been going on for more than a year, there have been more than 10 rounds of face-to-face meetings. High-level trade talks have failed to ease trade disputes between the two sides. Faced with the upcoming Sino-US high-level trade negotiations in early October, the two sides have actively created an atmosphere of reconciliation.
China Show Actions of Goodwill: According to reports, China purchased at least 600,000 tons of US soybeans on Thursday (September 12), and the number needed to be shipped by 10 ships, the largest purchase since June this year. Recently, the Chinese side proposed that if the United States postpones tariffs on Chinese goods and relaxes trading restrictions on Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer Huawei, China will increase her purchase of US agricultural products.
The United States Responded By “Delaying Tariff Increases”: After China continued to show its “moderate” stance, Trump also said in 9/13 that “a temporary trade agreement with China is also within our consideration”, showing a more flexible posture. The Beijing leadership welcomed Trump’s delay in raising tariffs and signaled a willingness to ease tension. Therefore, this week’s practical consultations between China and the United States can push China and the United States to reach a draft of a temporary agreement, which has attracted much attention. People are counting on the next China-US trade conference in Washington in early October.

Pray for Taiwan – Raise Up Godly Political Leaders
【Current Events: Taiwan is also known as Formosa, which means a land full of the beauty and glory of God. Taiwan is the heart of Asia . God wants to use Taiwan as a pioneer in Asia to prepare the way to send the gospel back to Jerusalem. However, in recent years, the Taiwan government has reformed various ungodly laws and policies to forcefully promote same sex marriage and to enforce gender sexual orientation education to primary and secondary schools which is evil in the eyes of the Lord. On May 17 this year, the Taiwan Legislative Branch forced the legalization of same-sex marriage and made Taiwan to be the first country in Asia legalized same sex marriage, which not only violated public opinion, but also deviated from the laws of God.
Raise Up The Church To Go Into The Political Mountain: “Love Family Alliance” that promoted the anti-same-sex marriage law, joined with the church and formed a “Stability Of Power” party , to participate in the presidential and legislative elections on January 11 next year, hoping to reverse the same-sex marriage and other ungodly policies, and to transform society.

Revival Testimony:Tidal Wave of Revival in India – Praying Hyde
John Nelson Hyde was born in Illinois to a Presbyterian minister. This minister prayed that God would raise up more missionaries. John Hyde passed college and became a member of the faculty staff. Strangely, he resigned and entered into McCormick Theological Seminary, where his elder brother Edmund also attended. Edmund dreamed of being a preacher so in pursuit of that dream, he went to preach in Montana but suddenly died from a fever. Hyde wondered if he would take his brother’s place. In his senior year, he asked a fellow student, Mr. Konkle, for his reason for supporting missionary work. That night he decided to become a missionary at last.
He came to believe that God was calling him to India. He departed to India in 1892 to preach in the Punjab region. On the way there, he read a letter from a friend who said he would ask God to fill Hyde with the Holy Spirit. Angry at the suggestion that he did not already have the Spirit, he threw it away. However, he then humbled himself and prayed to God for help.
Because of Hyde’s severe hearing impairment, he struggled with learning the native languages. But what surprised his boss was that he spent most of his time studying scriptures instead of the language. What he showed was his persistence in his vision. His mission at first gained few converts and endured persecution, so he began to pray very intensely. In 1899, he fell down before God all night. In his letter to his alma mater, he wrote, “Have felt led to pray for others this winter as never before. I never before knew what it was to work all day and then pray all night before God for another… In college or at parties at home, I used to keep such hours for myself, or pleasure, and can I not do as much for God and souls?”.
In 1904, Indian Christians and Western missionaries gathered for the first of an annual series of conventions at Sialkot in what is today Pakistan. He formed the Punjab Prayer Union, in which the members would set aside half an hour a day to pray for spiritual revival. In 1908, he told everyone at the conference to pray what was deemed as an impossible request: that during the coming year, one soul will be saved a day. Before the second convention, Hyde prayed that more than 400 people will enter the kingdom of God. When the prayer union reunited, his goal was doubled to two souls that were saved each day. In that year, there were more than 800 new believers recorded.
At the 1910 conference, he exclaimed, “Give me souls, oh God, or I die!”. Before the meeting ended, John Hyde revealed again his goal for the coming year. This time, he declared that it will be four souls a day to be saved and nothing less. During the next 12 months, Hyde’s ministry traveled throughout India. By this time, he was known as “Praying Hyde” and his intercession was sought at revivals in Calcutta, Bombay, and other large cities. If there was any day four people were not converted, Hyde said that at night there would be such a weight on his heart that he could not eat or sleep until he had prayed through to victory. When Hyde was in Calcutta, his friends persuaded him to go see a doctor about his rapidly deteriorating health. The medical examiner said Hyde’s heart had shifted out of its natural position on the left side and moved to the right side of his chest. The doctor has never seen anything like that before and warned Hyde that unless he got complete rest, he would be dead in 6 months.
However, Hyde actually lived for nearly two more years. He not only witnessed the wave of revival sweeping the entire Punjab, but also saw major changes in spiritual conditions in other parts of India. He saw that the vision was expanded. Before he died, he shared the revelation that God gave him:
“On the day of prayer, God gave me a new experience. I seemed to be away above our conflict here in the Punjab and I saw God’s great battle in all India, and then away out beyond in China, Japan, and Africa. I saw how we had been thinking in narrow circles of our own countries and in our own denominations, and how God was now rapidly joining force to force and line to line, and all was beginning to be one great struggle. That, to me, means the great triumph of Christ. We must exercise the greatest care to be utterly obedient to Him who sees all the battlefield all the time. It is only He who can put each man in the place where his life can count for the most”.
May the vision that Hyde saw in the past continue to be fulfilled now. God is calling His intercession prayer army around the world. Those who have ears, let them hear, and every one who hears, respond to God’s call, sanctified and obedient, and every person, so that God’s will can be done on earth as it is in heaven!
