Date: 8/11 ( 11th Day )

Urgent Prayer Request!

Please pray for those people who are involved in organizing and making this Global 40 Day Prayer And Fast movement possible. Particularly, please pray for the spiritual leaders, their co-workers and their family members, the behind-the-scene editorial team and their spiritual coverings, and family members. The son of one of the main leaders got sick, vomiting blood and hospitalized for three days. Please ask God to:

protect everyone involved in the global prayer and fast and their family. May God watch their coming and going and keep them healthy and properous spirit, soul and body.
bless the editorial team to be able to receive from God and translate it in words speedily and accurately.

［Editor’s note]

Dear brothers and sister, thank you so much for your willingness to pay the price to stand together with us and labor along side with us to intercede for Nations. We want to give a warm and friendly reminder that if God did not lead you to do a 40-day water fast, please do not go on such fast on your own, this may cause harm to your body. May you seek the Lord for his Direction as to the length and way to fast, please refer to the guidance for praying and fasting.

The Catholic Church in Spain also voiced their opposition towards homosexuality. The archbishop Demario Fernandez of Córdoba told his congregants in December that the United Nation has been aggressively shifting the world to become a homosexual community.
In the blog by Zaragoza, who is the leader of the Holy See Family Ministry in the parish of Antonelli, also said that there is a project in the Scientific and Cultural Organization of the United Nations working to convert half of the world population into gays/lesbians.

Dear intercessors,

Although we as the editing team have been revealing the spiritual conditions and facts for various nations in the past few days as various prayer items, each of you, please pray in agreement. But let us not focus on the negative issues, instead we trust in God’s greatness for His salvation and power of revival. Through the global unison of prayers, God will surely revive and transform the nations. God will reveal what are the destructive plans of the enemy , so that we can stand in the gap for the nations. God will hinder the attacks of the enemies. Just like how God used Elisha to warn the Israeli King the plots of the Syrian king to kill him, so the Israeli king can evade the ambush from the enemies(II Kings 6:8-10). Likewise, God will also reveal to us the schemes/traps from the enemies, how they want to destroy and take captives the people of God and how they want to destroy our future generations.

Due to the fact that many people don’t usually pay attention to the international affairs, they don’t know how to intercede for the nations. Here we want to pinpoint the schemes of the enemies so that we can pray for the nations according to God’s will. Like in the book of Ezekiel chapter 8, how God reveals to Ezekiel that the Israeli were worshiping idols. In the book of Revelation chapter 2 and 3, John had been revealed by the spiritual conditions of the 7 churches, among which 5 need to repent. We pray that Jehovah the almighty Captain of the hosts will reveal to us how to pray for the nations accordingly to His will. We encourage you, brothers and sisters, in your prayer, ask God to give you strategies and directions so that our prayers are in the will and alignment of God. Like I John 5:14-15says “ 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.”

When we know what the strongholds are for the nations, our prayer will then focus on the salvation and revival of God, thus proclaiming God’s prophetic words”. Let us fix our eyes on the victorious, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent great God!

Testimonies from the Church of Brunei

Over the years Muslims in Brunei have cast spells and performed voodoo magic on people to put them in their controls. In 2010, the Muslims of Brunei used sorcery and witchcraft to attack the churches through traffic accidents. During that time there were numerous traffic accidents that caused fatalities and injuries to the church ministers. (There was a dividing gap within the church to give the enemy room to attack.) God revealed to a missionary in a dream regarding these Satanic attacks. God sent this missionary to Brunei to call the Brunei church to rise up to build prayer altars. Seven churches responded to the call. Each one of these churches were responsible for prayers for seven days. Within these seven days, they not only prayed for their own church, but also watched and prayed for the other churches. When they prayed in unity, God fought back all the attacks from the enemy and protected them. These churches continue to pray for a year. The church witnessed an ease of preaching the gospel. More and more people came to believe in Jesus during this season.

A year later, the sorcerers of Brunei also joined force to start another wave of attack. This attack became like a tornado to one of the churches in Selapon. Across the street from this church were a Muslim mosque and Muslim residences. Before the tornado hit this area, the Muslim priests would enter the church to persecute the Christians, to threaten to tear down the church and to imprison the elders of the church. When the tornado swept through the area, most of the trees were blown down. However, due to the covering of the prayer altars in unity and the personal prayers of the elders, brothers and sisters of this Selapon church, the church building was spared from damage from an almost completed uprooted tree in front of it. Yet, the tornado hit directly onto the Muslim mosque and its adjacent Muslim residences. The roofs from their houses were blown away and the wall of the Muslim priest’s house was also damaged. Yet, there was not any damage to the Christian church and their homes. During the tornado, the Muslim priest and the Muslim believers cried out to the elders of the church, “Can we come over to have shelter from the tornado?” After this incident, the Muslim priests along with the Muslim believers saw the power of God. They no longer threatened to demolish the church and even allowed them to worship freely as long as they did not bring in speakers from out of the region.

However, the united prayer altars discontinued after one year. Two years later, the Sharia Law entered Brunei. We need to pray earnestly for Brunei.

We believe Christians from all over the world will be persecuted by the anti-Christ as written in the Bible. The challenge for Christians at the present time is the defilement of homosexuality and the persecution from Islam. We need to join our hearts together to pray for the souls of the homosexuals and Muslims.

Pursuing Intimacy With God

The Persevering Power

Matthew 11:12 “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.”

Dear Abba Father,

Today, we enter the eleventh day of prayer and fasting. Oh Father, How precious it is to come before You every day at this time to meet with You! How we long to be closer to You and spend more time with You. Every time we come face to face with You, we can pour out our hearts to You! But many times, we do not have the tenacity and perseverance to persist. It seems that we would often give up so easily. Lord Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is entered by violence; those who strive to enter would make it. Spiritual tenacity is the continuous passion to pursue God and the willingness to abandon ourselves, forsaking our sinful natures; spiritual tenacity is able to help us pursue God with a heart of passion, holiness and perseverance as we run the heavenly race. Oh Father, how we look up to You; during this fasting season, we ask you to transform us, change our attitude toward life and give us more passion to pursue You. You are our strength, our help and our victory; You reward those who seek You. Oh, Abba Father, we ask You for grace to persevere and greater spiritual tenacity to pursue You.

In the name of Lord Jesus we pray, Amen!

Repentance

Prayer for the Church 01

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession,that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9)

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:1-2)

The advancement of technology and the Internet in the recent century has not enriched our lives or reduced our workload. It has brought more pressures and challenges to both life and family. We have neglected building our families and underestimated the impact of the changing social atmosphere on our surroundings. This has given the enemy free entrance into culture and families, hurting our children and causing divorces. Thus, without strong family units, the church has become weak, powerless and indifferent, unable to have a godly impact on our next generations.

Lord, this is because we have departed from your commandments and turned to our own ways. We have become followers of our own desires and the values of this world. We have failed to be a positive influence on society. We are apathetic towards our communities, indifferent towards injustice and unrighteousness. Our behavior is no different from unbelievers. The church is secularized. We fear men but have no fear of God. We compromise with evil things.

Lord, on behalf of the church, I fall on my face before you. May you forgive us. Give us broken and contrite hearts and tears of repentance. May we come before you as one, repenting, asking that the blood of the Lord Jesus will cleanse us from all sins and unrighteousness. Restore our first love so that we can honor the Lord above everything else. In critical times such as this, raise us up again through the power of your Holy Spirit to break every chain and yoke, to destroy the dividing walls within the church. I pray that we will no longer be divided or powerless; instead, we will build up the Body of Christ with one heart and one mind. I pray that the church will take back her authority and be the salt and light in our cities and nations, so that the world may see our good deeds, and give all glory to God!

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pray For Nations

[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.]

Brunei

[Society Statistics: Population: 430,000 / Christians: 54,000 / Main Religion: Islam / Government: Sultan Monarchy / Source of Persecution: Islam

Brunei in Malay is Negara Brunei Darussalam, also known as Brunei Islamic Monarchy. It is a small country located on the Island of Borneo adjacent to Malaysia and Indonesia. Population is approximately 400,000. Its land area is ranked no.172; however, due to the rich resources of oil and natural gas, it is one of the wealthiest country in the world. GDP is ranked no.6 in the world.

The Sultan is the Prime Minister and the President:

Brunei is one of the very few absolute monarchy countries in the world and it is governed by theocracy. Islam has become the national religion since the mid 14th century. Under its constitution, the Sultan is the head of state with full executive authority and the head of the religion.

Brunei wants to be the superior center for Islam. Its policies include spreading of Islam and execution of Islamic law. Anyone converting to Islam will receive monetary and other benefits from the government. In 2014, the government has imposed the first phase of sharia law that includes fines and prison sentences for “crimes” such as propagating religions other than Islam, and not attending mandatory Friday prayers. The second phase has not been imposed but it has already caused a great deal fear to the Christians.

Spiritual Condition: Christian activities are against the law

Previously, the church in Brunei was in a wealthy and comfortable state. Then she became lukewarm like the church in Laodicea. The first nation churches had experienced revival and zeal for the Lord in the past.

According to Brunei law, importing Bibles and openly celebrating Christmas are forbidden. Also, it is a crime for Muslims to leave Islam. If caught, they will receive death sentence or lifetime in prison. Those who convert to Christianity dare not teach their children about their faith in case they spill out the secret. There are not too many registered churches in Brunei, and secret police may have already infiltrated the church. Many young Christians have left the country that created a gap within the church. Christians are absolutely forbidden to share their faith. On the other hand, the local newspapers keep reporting daily the gifts which the Islam converts receive. ]

Pray for the Christians in Brunei: Abba Father, thank You that You never leave us nor forsake us. We praise and thank You! Bless Your children of Brunei as they face persecution under Sharia law. Give them a heart that hungers and thirsts for You as if they were in dry and thirsty land, to establish a deeper intimate relationship with You, to truly know You and understand You. Give them courage and wisdom to preach the gospel, and to lead Muslims to the Lord.
Pray for the church of Brunei: Call the church to establish a prayer altar in unity. Send down Revival fire so that they will become zealous for You to stand in the Gap and pray for Brunei and to transform entire nation.
Pray for the Sultan and Muslim priests: Please softened the hearts of the Sultan and the Muslim priests. Change their attitudes towards Christians. Keep and watch over the changing of the monarchs smoothly. Show Yourself to the members of the monarchy, and shine Your Light on the Muslim priests who are persecuting the Christians. Save their souls, just like how You shone Your light on Saul on the road to Damascus.
Save the souls of the people of Brunei.
Pray for Brunei Sultan Haji Hashanna : Abba Father please bless Brunei Sultan Haji Hashanna Bauchi. Shine Your Face upon him, so that he will have gratitude and humility in his heart, that he will be diligent in his work and love his people, that he will be righteous and just to govern the nation with wisdom to improve the disparity between the rich and the poor in society. Holy Spirit open his eyes, so that he can turn and know the precious salvation of Jesus Christ, no longer promoting the entire nation to become Islam but to lead his monarchy and his people to receive the joy of salvation, and that they will become a kingdom whose God is Jehovah and bring joy to God.

Thailand

[Spiritual Conditions: The Thai Kingdom, generally called Thailand, is the only country in the Southeast Asia that has never been colonized. “Thailand” in their language means “the country for the free,’ yet this land has been under the bondage of Buddhism, traditional culture, spirit worship or mystic religions. Over 90% of the Thai population is Buddhists. Buddhism is closely related to the lifestyle of Thai people. They inquire of mages for blessings and directions in every detail of their lives. Every family sets up idols at home for daily worship. Every man in Thailand is required to become a monk for a period before getting married. There are 5.3 million Muslims in Thailand. There have been increasing terrorist attacks with bombings toward police and soldiers; even teachers and students are facing life threatening dangers.

Although missions in Thailand have enjoyed substantial freedom, yet after 200 years of evangelism in Thailand, Christians only account for a tiny percentage of the population. In recent years, Christianity has been the fastest growing religion, but over 50% of the new converts are aboriginals or non-Thai ethnic groups. Most churches in Thailand are small (with 30-50 members); lacking competent church leaders is the one of the most important reasons that church growth is stagnant. There have been no churches yet in the suburban or rural areas.

Social Conditions

Major religion: Buddhism; fastest-growing religion: Christianity: official language: Thai; number of languages used: 85;number of ethnic groups: more than 29, including Thai, Burmese, etc.

Southeast Asia not only gives people an impression of sandy beaches, exotic island vacations and attractions, it also captures the world’s attention on drugs, casinos, pornography, smuggling that are vividly displayed there. Human trafficking in Thailand has long been the most rampant among Southeast Asian countries. Unscrupulous businessmen collude very seriously with military and political officials. It is estimated that in Thailand 3 million people are drug addicts, and more than 2 million are involved in pornography industry. It has the highest infection rate of AIDS in Asia. Human traffickers purchase many children for cheap labor and make them fish slaves, shrimp slaves and sex slaves.

Repent and pray for the Thai people: Abba Father, we pray that you forgive the Thai for their sins to you, who practice idol worshiping in deception. May the light of Your truth shine upon the entire Thailand. May You open their eyes, so that these people may come to know You the Almighty God. Make their hearts turn to you, to receive the abundant salvation, to come out of the control of the dark forces and enter the kingdom of Light of Your beloved Son Jesus Christ, so that the Thai may receive the true freedom in the Lord Jesus Christ.。
Pray for the government of Thailand: May God save the souls of the government officials of Thailand. Raise up military and government leaders who are holy, righteous and compassionate, to lead Thailand out of the bondage of greed and corruption and lead the people of Thailand into the abundance of the kingdom of God.
Pray for the churches in Thailand to rise up: May the fire of the Holy Spirit burn in the hearts of believers in Thailand to become zealous for God. May God bless foreign missionaries, watch over their health and give them a wonderful spirit. Through their ministries may they raise local church leaders, to connect churches to come together and pray in one accord. May You heal the people of Thailand, give them strategies and discernment from heaven to abolish and break through all hindrances in the spiritual realms, so that the gospel can be spread to all ethnic groups in Thailand. Lord, watch over Thailand’s nationwide church prayer network. Help the churches execute church leaders training programs, proceed with social advancement projects and hold gospel meetings. Also bless the translation project of the Bible version that is simple and easy to read.
Pray for the people in bondage of darkness: Abba Father, in the name of Jesus we declare that many drug dealers, drug addicts and those who participate in sex trade, whether willingly or unwillingly, and all kinds of people who were sold as slaves by human traffickers, will all be set free by the Holy Spirit and receive salvation. Just like You said in Isaiah for those who are in bondage, “to say to the captives, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Be free!’ They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill.They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.” (Isaiah 49:9-10). According to your faithfulness, Lord, lead them beside springs of water through all kinds of channels, be it government agencies or civil organizations, such as evangelical drug rehabilitation centers or organizations that minister to sex trade victims or human traffickers, so they can see hope in the hopeless situation and come before the Lord to receive salvation.
為泰國總理(首相) 巴育 (Prayut Chan-o-cha)禱告： 親愛的天父, 願祢以祢的榮耀,光照泰國現任總理巴育(Prayut Chan-o-cha); 願祢的真理,破除所有謊言的蒙蔽,欺騙,使他得以認識,並敬畏尊崇祢這位獨一真神. 願他看見祢的聖潔,能選擇擁有出於祢的恩惠, 慈愛, 忍耐, 節制與自由.願他由衷的愛惜泰王的子民, 忠心的護衛泰王, 幫助泰王維持國家的安定與進步。求祢祝福他和他的家人, 出入平安, 和睦融洽,享受豐盛的生命與生活.
Pray for prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha: Dear Heavenly Father, may You shine Your glory upon Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha. May Your truth break every lie and deception so that he may know You, fear and honor You, the one and only true God. May he perceive Your holiness and choose to embrace Your mercy, grace, love patience, self-control and freedom. May he love and care for his people from his heart, protect and guard the king of Thailand faithfully, and help the king maintain peace and prosperity. May You bless him and his family, watching over their coming and going, granting them peace, harmony and abundance.

Pray for World Leaders

Ask God to give Chairman Xi Jinping wisdom to make policies according to God’s will concerning China’s environmental pollution and trade issues with the U.S

Pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu

Ask God to show Israeli Prime Minister in his dream that homosexuality is extremely defiling and destructive to Israel. From now on, let the Gay Pride Parade be prohibited in Israel.

Pray for President Putin

We bless the relationship between President Putin and President Trump so that God’s perfect will may be accomplished through them!

Pray for Seven Mountains

[Background: The 7 Mountain Strategy is a strategy for Christians to bring about the transformation of society in accordance with the values of the Kingdom of God. Transforming urban countries by changing the seven most important areas that affect society and culture. Among them, the “Seven Great Mountains” are the seven major areas. Advocates believe that when on the “Seven Great Mountains” Christians can rise, exert influence, or even become leaders, they can change society. The seven major mountains are: Art Entertainment / Business / Religion / Media / Education / Family / Government. For more information on the 7 mountain strategy, please see the video by Rober Heidler。We will take turns to pray for these seven hills in these 40 days.]

Education

[Background: Today’s global sex education advocates that homosexual teaching is a must . Countries such as the United States and Taiwan teaches sex education in their curriculum and even demonstrate and practice masturbation in the classroom. It has greatly defile the next generation. Satan wants to completely seize the next generation and push the world to be like Gormorrah and Sodom. Even the church youth is affected. This is the biggest crisis in the global education system.

The Catholic Church in Spain also voiced their opposition towards homosexuality. The archbishop Demario Fernandez of Córdoba told his congregants in December that the United Nation has been aggressively shifting the world to become a homosexual community.
In the blog by Zaragoza, who is the leader of the Holy See Family Ministry in the parish of Antonelli, also said that there is a project in the Scientific and Cultural Organization of the United Nations working to convert half of the world population into gays/lesbians.

[Editor’s Note: ]

Dear intercessors:

From the information stated in the above background section, we can all see as the parish in Catholic church has pointed out, the United Nation has been aggressively shifting the world to become a homosexual community and there is a project in the Scientific and Cultural Organization of the United Nations working to convert half of the world population into gays/lesbians. There is a great behind the homosexuality. One of the strategies to promote the homosexuality is through sex education in many nations. To try to steal our children, to teach them homosexual value to our children from age 5 years on.

Therefore we must come together, with fasting, to cry out to God, for God to fight the battle for us, to rescue our next-generation, to come out of the defilement of the value system of homosexuality, to completely abolish the evil plan of United Nations to convert half of the world population into gay / lesbian. May God raise up and establish leaders that have the fear of the Lord to turn over the law that has legalized same-sex marriage and homosexuality. In Jesus name we declare, God will use the joint effort of the parents in the whole globe to make our voice be heard in United Nation as well as on campuses, to forsake all the sex education concerning homosexuality, not to defile the Next Generation. We cry out to God to dispatch Arch Angel Michael to lead the host of angels to fight the Dark Force behind homosexuality to continue to capture our next Generation. May God cleanse all the hearts and soul sthat have been defiled, and completely cleanse and break off the influence of homosexuality

In the name of Jesus we declare the campus of all the world will open the door to the teachings of the truth in the Bible and close the door to the teaching of homosexuality
In the name of Jesus we declare, our God is a Victorious King, He is the captain of The Host. He will listen to our prayer of one accord. He will lead Archangel Michael and the hosts of angels, to win the victorious battle graded for the next Generation to demolish sex education on homosexuality to be taught in school.
In the name of Jesus we declare, the fire of the Holy Spirit will rend the heaven and come down, burn and distinguish all the stronghold the homosexual has set up in the campus. We declare Our God Reign, establishing the Throne of God in each campus, revive the campus to become a Holy Kingdom of God.

Amen!

Ask God to forgive the United State, Taiwan and other countries that teach sex education to pollute the next generation. May God’s mercy come upon us and move God’s children in the United States, Taiwan and other countries to fight against the dark forces behind homosexuality, launch holiness movement to turn the tide of homosexuality and abolish all the ungodly sex education.
Ask God to raise up god-fearing children of God to enter into the education system, produce teaching materials full of God’s knowledge and truth to replace the existing wrong teaching about sex, life and religion, so that the whole world will be full of the knowledge of the Lord and establish godly education system.
Ask God to keep those god-fearing councils in the board of education to continue to speak for the Lord and stop the sex education. May God keep them safe and watch their coming and going.
Pray especially for US school shootings and global campus bullying and drug trafficking. May God put an end to such incidents at school. Protect the campus and keep the students safe.
Pray for revival of the campus: May God pour out His Spirit over campuses, ignite the fire of intercession and establish the alter of prayers. Let prayers return to the campus.
Pray for the elite schools in all countries, such as Ivy-league universities and ask Holy Spirit to work in these universities to win over the souls of the students.

Urgent Prayers for Nations

Pray For Muslims

[Editor’s Note: The largest population of unreached people is the Muslims. The Editorial Team has brought up Islamic nations and the Muslims in this Fast and Pray period requesting the saints to petition for them. We also hereby remind the missionaries who have been burdened for the Islamic nations to pay special attention to the contents we share here so that we may prepare ourselves to face the challenges associated with mission and ministries in these nations.]

The strategies for Muslims to expand are:

Through charities: For instance, the Malaysian government would provide incentives to the poor aboriginals to convert to Islam by giving them land, money, subsidies and benefits.
Through education: For instance, the Malaysian government would set up nursery schools in poor communities and dispatch Muslim teachers. The children will study the Koran at a young age and become mystified with lies and confusions therein. In other countries, the Koran is being taught privately or publicly. The Koran has even become a required course in some countries. Those who do not do well in this class will need to retake the class.
Through childbearing and migration: The Muslims usually raise many children because each Muslim male can take 4 wives. They increase their population by childbearing; they populate the countries they settle in and make Muslims a majority therein and then transform the local society and culture.
Radical Muslims expand by deploying terrorist attacks. For instance, ISIS has been subverting and occupying Iraq and Syria.

The Islam usually persecute the Christians in the following manners:

Brain-washing Christian captives day and night with the Koran, to cause confusion in their mind and deprive them of reasoning power.
Public beheading or hanging (such as what ISIS does).
Slavery: Female captives becom sex slaves; population trafficking.]

The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur. And he said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered. Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” The angel added, “I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count.” The angel of the Lord also said to her: “You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.” She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” (Genesis 16:7-13).

And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. (Genesis 17:20).

Father God we pray:

You promised to bless the descendants of Ishmael and You would do it according to Your own word. You love every soul and wish the whole world to be saved and no one would perish. You desire even more for the wicked to turn from their wicked way. May God who watches over people will begin to speak to the descendants of Ishmael. We hope more Muslims will return to Jesus Christ because there is no name other than the name of Jesus given to us by which we should be saved. Meanwhile, we cry out to You fervently for the Muslim terrorists, that You would forgive them of their unrighteousness, that You would open their eyes which have been veiled by Satan, that you would remove from them the spirit of violence, cruelty and indifference, so that the devil would loosen his grips on this religious group. Father God, fill up the Muslim nations with Your mercy, grace and kindness. Shine Your light into the darkest spots in the hearts of the Muslims. May Your mercy triumph over judgement, so that they turn their hearts and minds to Jesus Christ, no longer being controlled by the dark forces. May God set free from the bondage those people having suffered in this religion and those souls having been persecuted. Heal the heart and soul of everyone who has been hurt by this religion; forgive and have mercy on these Muslim nations. May the blood of Jesus cover heavily these nations. May Jesus Christ receive the souls. The fire of revival of the Holy Spirit will burn in the Muslim countries and in every Muslim family. In the name of Jesus, we declare there will be groups and groups of Muslims who will repent and reconcile with You, with Israel, and with Christians! May the name of Jesus prevail and overcome again and again!

Pray for the Drought in Austria

[In the News: New South Wales, the most populated state in Australia, has been experiencing the most serious drought in 50 years. This state produces ¼ of the total agricultural production in Australia. Now the farmers are experiencing one of the driest winters in history, and it is estimated that the weather will remain dry with little precipitation in the next three months.]

Abba Father, we pray for:

Repentance: May You raise up in Australia intercessors like Elijah((James 5:17), to pray for repentance on behalf of these people for their sins, specifically the sin of agreeing to homosexuality, to seek Your face and turn from their wicked way, that You may hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Provisions: Have mercy on the local farmers as You did the widow of Sidon. She continued being provided with flour and oil after listening to the profit (1 King 17).
Rain: Lord, give abundant showers and ease the drought. Listen to the prayer of righteous people and send rains to allow the earth to produce its crops (James 5:16-18).
Salvation: May the Australians repent, turn to You and receive salvation.

Pray For Israel

Pray for Repentance of Israel

Please pay attention to this note:

[This year is Israel’s 70^th anniversary but the Israeli government allows the Gay Pride Parade in eight Israeli cities between June 8^th till August 2^nd and the finale of the parade took place in Jerusalem on August 2^nd. This has opened a huge gap for the enemy. When Israel celebrates the founding of the nation 70 years ago, Satan enticed the Israeli people to enter into demonstrations promoting homosexuality, to sin against God and to provoke His indignation, so that surrounding enemies may take the chance to attack Israel. Its ultimate purpose is to block and thwart God’s plan to bring His divine calling and destiny for Israel to fullness, especially at such a season when Israel enters her 70^th year of establishment. but our God is victorious. Let us join us to pray for Israel and believe that God will completely turn Israel around and regain lost ground.]

Ask God to forgive the Israeli government for allowing gay parades throughout Israel
May God give Israel the spirit of repentance and save the souls of Israelites
Let the fire of the Holy Spirit continue to cleanse Israel, especially the places where the parades have passed by and the hearts of the people in those cities. May God have mercy on Israel, and rid Israel of the defilement caused by the gay parades, both on the land and on people’s heart

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 thedark 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, to name a few. Iran is beginning a major naval exercise in the Strait of Hormuz, which is a control point of the waterway into the Persian Gulf, affecting many countries other than Iran. This has triggered an announcement from the US to begin naval exercise in the nearby region. Any attempt to close up the Strait of Hormuz is effectively a declaration of war. The Israeli response is to declare that she will react strongly against any such attempts to close off the Red Sea, which is a strategic waterway through which southern Israel gain access to all the oceans. In the meantime, due to economic problems and anti-government protests, internal instability is building up in Iran.]

We ask God to help Israel stay 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.
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.
Pray that God 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.
