Weekly Watch Focus: Pray for Peace on the Korean Peninsula

Friday, April 28, 2017—In the face of rising tensions and threats from North Korea, the United States has installed THAAD, an advanced missile defense system, in South Korea. The US has also deployed warships and a submarine to the region. Kim Jong-un is said to be planning a sixth nuclear test and additional long-range missile tests in defiance of international sanctions and security. The recent US show of force is intended to deter North Korea from launching attacks on its neighbors.

Pray for peace on the Korean Peninsula. Bind back the demonic forces that hold the people of North Korea in bondage to a tyrannical dictator. Pray for the Lord to uncover and destroy North Korea’s nuclear plans. Bind the movements of North Korean missiles and troops. Let us also cry out for North Korea to turn to Christ. Pray for the Spirit of revival to sweep the entire peninsula in a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Declare recovery of the Christian legacy and heritage of Pyongyang where 100 years ago at the time of Azusa, revival broke out that swept across the Korean peninsula in a mighty wave that lasted for forty years.

Intercede for our military leaders and the thousands of American troops and their families stationed in this region. Pray for continued wisdom for President Trump, Vice President Pence and their cabinet as they lead America through this crisis. Loose the angel armies of heaven to bring God’s government and peace to the Korean people.
