Pray for wise leadership in dealing with North Korea, unity among our allies, and protection.

You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day (Ps. 91:5)

“On Feb. 12, 2017, North Korea held its first ballistic missile test in the Trump era. The timing was not coincidental, as during the launch, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was visiting Washington. Pyongyang also used Chinese President Xi Jinping’s April 6 visit to the U.S. as the backdrop for another ballistic missile test, and just a week ahead of Xi’s visit, North Korea announced it would also be testing a powerful missile engine designed to bolster its intercontinental missile program.

One can conclude that ballistic and intercontinental missile tests are North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s way of communicating with his neighbors and of reminding the world of his existence in the only region where the Cold War has yet to end. . . .

Until recently, the conflict suited everyone involved. It provided the Americans with an excuse to maintain presence in a region influenced by China; it gave China an obedient pawn; South Korea was never interested in uniting with the North, which would stunt its growth; and Tokyo would prefer not to have a Korean monster on the other side of the Sea of Japan.

But circumstances have changed. The U.S.’s April 7 missile strike in Syria, Washington’s decision to send the nuclear-powered USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier strike group to the Korean Peninsula, unleashing the “mother of all bombs” against Islamic State in Afghanistan on Thursday, Trump’s menacing tweets and North Korea’s equally belligerent rhetoric — all of which have taken place as the U.S. and South Korean armies were conducting joint exercises in the region — have created higher expectations for an American response in case of a North Korean nuclear test. . . .

Pyongyang will mark Army Day on 25 April, and the world will again be holding its breath. (Excerpted from Israel Hayom, commentary by Boaz Bismuth.)

Our Father God, in the Good book, it’s said that there will be war’s of war’s. It also says, we must fight a good fight. Father God, we do believed that you built your people on a solid foundation, and we shall not be move. Rather by day or night. We shall run a good race. If God is for us, then who can be against us. We are like trees planted by the river of waters, our leaves shall not withered. We shall abide in the most high God. We shall not go to the right or left. The righteous shall not be forsaken. We shall speak to the mountains, and they shall be moved. What God has for us is for us. We shall Wat h and pray. God shall prepare a table in the present of our enemies. What the devil’s meant for evil, God will turn it all around for His good. Let’s us pray for our enemies and do good by them. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. God give life more abundantly. What our enemies sow, they shall also wrap. The Lord is our Shepherd and we shall not lack nothing. Our cup is over flowing over. The Blood of Jesus is upon us and everything, family, friends, neighbor’s, houses, all what God has giving us and will give. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Pray at all times, so temptation will not enter you. Go to all those people that you can think of and make a mend with them. Then you Come to God and repent to Him of your sinful sins. We are a Church of Jesus and we will not be divided. Jesus is the Son of God , and we are Jesus Bridegroom. Let us start being it.

Heavenly Father, I thank you that eventhough heaven and earth pass away, Your Word endures forever. Your word tells us that a period of tribulation and great tribulation is coming upon the world. First, and foremost I pray for my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, that they not be shaken in their minds or be troubled by spirit or word concerning the coming of Jesus. I pray that they not be deceived by the false teachers and false prophets and false christs, in the last days, that Jesus warned about. I pray they will flee from the churches that are falling away from the faith, from the apostacy that has already begun and that by Your grace, they will keep the word of Your patience so that You will keep them from the hour of temptation that is coming on the world. Father, concerning North Korea’s evil dictator, I pray that he be removed peacefully, if at all possible, before he has the capability of launching a nuclear attack on South Korea, China, Japan or the United States. I pray that our intelligence communities will have accurate and full information of all that North Korea, Iran, Russia, Turkey, Syria and all those who hate us are planning. Give President Trump and all his advisors clear understanding and wisdom of how to meet the threats facing our nation. Father, I believe that the strike on the Towers was Your judgement because of all the evil being done in our land, but Father God, I plead for You to extend Your great longsuffering; to give Your people time to humble themselves and pray and turn from their rebellion and wickedness. I ask these things in Jesus’ Mighty Name,for His sake. Amen.

Lord, You know North Korea has been heavy on my heart for quite some time. I ask you to set those people free from the tyranny and darkness. Break off the chains of oppression. Do not let their rulers cause a conflict in which thousands would perish. By Your grace and by Your mercy bring the captives and the prisoners forth. You see Korea as one country. Let Your people in South Korea lift up their voices and cry out for their neighbors to the north to be set free–free from fear and oppression, free to hear Your word and free to follow You!! In Yeshua’s mighty name let it be!!

Lord help those in authority to seek your will in all situations, especially those pertaining to wars. I ask Lord you will help them to discern what is best for all concerned. Help them to act or not act, but not react to fleshly instincts. I pray for unity and peace. Lord you know better than I if we can be allies with North Korea. I have met a few from South Korea and they are grateful they could be in America, but want nothing to do with North Korea. This is beyond me Lord. May your will be done according to your plans. I give you thanks for listening. I thank you for your wisdom and knowledge. I thank you for knowing what is best. Thank you for loving all of us regardless of who we are. Thank you for responding to my prayer in Jesus name, amen.

Praying for the God of Justice to bring discernment and wisdom to our leaders to help fight these battles both foreign and domestic

As frightening and alarming as these things appear, God is still on the throne, and He still has a plan for this planet. I do pray that our leaders in America will be given wisdom and discernment, for unity among our allies, for protection for all. Even the people of North Korea and Russia and other countries ruled by evil men have no control over what their leaders do, so I pray for all innocent peoples protection. Bottom line though is this: God has not taken a coffee break, He is good, and I chose to put my trust in him and not man.
