I Prayed have prayed
Father, we pray for protection following the U.S. strikes on Iran. We ask You to guard Your people in America and Israel.
Reading Time: 3 minutes

As America challenges Iran, it’s important that we pray for our leaders, for protection, and against any potential retaliation. We know that Iran hates America, and Border Czar Tom Homan has warned of known terrorists and Iranian nationals who snuck into the U.S. under President Biden. Could these be part of sleeper cells? Considering the potential retaliation, we’d like to share the following information and prayer points written by Tania Curado-Koenig, an expert on the Middle East and a friend of IFA.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

 

1. Military Escalation (PossiblyĀ within 24–72 hours)

Iran could retaliate. This could happen in any or all of the following ways:

– Missile and drone attacks on Israel (especially Tel Aviv, Haifa, and military bases)

– Naval attacks on U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf or Red Sea

– Cyberattacks against U.S. infrastructure, power grids, or financial systems

– Terror proxy responses: Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and militias in Iraq or Syria will almost certainly be activated.

This could be the largest regional confrontation since the Gulf War — possibly triggering a broader Middle East war.

2. Geopolitical Realignment

Oil Markets:

– Crude oil could spike above $150/barrel if tankers are attacked in the Strait of Hormuz.

– Nations like Saudi Arabia and the UAE will be pressured to choose sides — quietly supporting Israel and the U.S. or remaining neutral to protect energy and economic interests.

Russia and China:

– Both have warned against U.S. military action.

– If Iran is seen as a victim, expect open condemnation, more military exercises, and possibly arming Iran further.

– China could accelerate its push to replace the U.S. dollar in oil trade (Petroyuan) — destabilizing financial systems globally.

Europe:

– Likely to call for ā€œrestraintā€ while remaining functionally passive.

– May begin quiet evacuations of personnel from embassies in the region.

3. Spiritual Tension and Prophetic Window

This is a Daniel hour and an Esther call:

– The Prince of Persia is now fully stirred.

– Intercessors must arise immediately — to push back spiritual retaliation and call for divine alignment in Israel and America.

Without serious repentance and alignment, further escalation could open the door to greater destruction — even judgment.

Timeframe of Possible Events (Next 7 Days)

0–48 hours | Iranian counterstrikes begin. Hezbollah and Houthis may launch rockets. Israel goes on full alert.

3–5 days | Oil and shipping routes targeted. U.S. cyber infrastructure probed. Global markets react.

5–7 days | UN emergency sessions. Middle East nations choose allegiances. Israeli unity government discussions intensify.

What This Means for You

– Watch. Fast. Pray.

– Declare Psalm 91 over Israel and the remnant Church.

– This moment is not just historic — it is apocalyptic in nature.

– The Church must not be passive. The gates of authority are open right now.

Strategic Prayer Points

We pray against Iranian and proxy sleeper cells that may be embedded within the United States or targeting U.S. assets abroad.

We declare confusion in their communication, disruption of every plan, exposure of every hidden operative, and divine protection over innocent civilians, military installations, and national infrastructure.

Let every network be uprooted, every mole uncovered, and every scheme collapse under the weight of heaven’s justice.

According to Job 5:12, ā€˜He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot carry out their plans.’

Father, release angelic surveillance, supernatural discernment, and early warning to those tasked with protecting this land.

Shield the homeland. Guard the gates. And awaken the righteous to stand on the walls in prayer.ā€

In the name of Yeshua, we declare: No weapon formed shall prosper. No sleeper cell shall remain undetected. No enemy of truth shall prevail.ā€

Lord, may you open the eyes to those who see the impossibility of the successes, to be your divine hand in all of the ways the world is changing. Only you are the Kingmaker, and King of Kings, and may this truth beomce more clear with each passing day along the landscape of humanity. In Jesus name. Keep channels of communication clear for your warriors, and confuse and frustrate those who work against you. Amen.

Heavenly Father, we thank You that Your word remains FOREVER. In Matthew 4:1-11 You showed us the spiritual battle between Jesus and Satan and how Jesus used the written word to defeat evil. This is first a spirit led battle. Lord we remember our weapon of warfare is not carnal, but we LIVE by every word that comes from the mouth of God. You command Your angels to lift us up in their hands, that we will not strike our foot against a stone. By Your power we can tread on the the lion and the adder and trample under foot the young lion and the serpent. We are reminded to worship the Lord our God and serve Him only. Because we made the LORD our refuge, the Most High our haven, no evil shall befall us, no scourge come near our tent. We thank You LORD, that You do not fail. All Your ways produce good. Let Your word rise up often in the hearts and minds of President Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and their staff. We raise our hands in prayer, praise and worship as we take the battlefield under Kingdom Authority. Raise the banner of victory under the precious blood of Jesus and in His mighty name. Amen.

I stand in agreement with the above prayer points, Tania. The butterfly effect comes to mind, and I recognize that in our modern world the ramifications of any action can have far-reaching impacts – some of which we cannot foresee. I am thankful, YHVH, that You can see! Thank You for raising up intercessors and intercession to deal with even those things, as we listen and heed Your instruction. I pray that financing for worldwide terrorism would be disrupted and dried up – whatever its source. I pray that any sleeper cells, embedded in any nation – would remain asleep and be immobilized by Your intervention. I ask that repentance would fall upon the ekklesia, and that we would align with You – Your character, Your will, and Your purposes.

Lord we pray for confusion on the sleeper cells. They would not succeed in their wicked plans. We ask instead that you’d wake up the sleeping church! Wake us up Lord cause us not to sleep anymore, not to slumber, wake us up Jesus that we might do battle that we might be united against the enemy In Jesus name

Father God, help us to put our complete faith, hope, and trust in You and you only. May President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seek only your direction on house to handle the situation with Iran. We bind Satan and put all of his efforts under the blood of Jesus. We cover the IDF and United States military forces with the covering and protection of the 91st Psalm and declare that no weapon formed against us is going to prosper any further than it already has. Our trust is in you almighty God and no one else. In Jesus name. Amen.

Excellent article. It certainly gives a very clear perspective of how we need to be interceding for this situation that we are now involved in.
Lord Jesus, we are trusting in You to bring safety and peace to our nation and that there would be an end to hostilities in the Middle East.
Lord, please use this event to bring Your glory in the midst of this fiasco. Thank You Jesus.

Lord God. You are in control of every situation that we are going
through on this Earth. We thank you for the cease – fire between
Israel and Iran. We ask that the Iranian Proxies don’t start fighting
with Israel and America. Please bring about only truth for all sides
to hear and not falsehoods and fear of what could happen.

Please let the Military, Law Enforcement and Special Forces find
and locate sleeper cells that have walked into our borders and
plan to do Americans harm. We thank you Lord for all the
miracles that have been present in the last 12 days.

God Bless America and God Bless Israel. In Jesus name. Amen and Amen!!
