The Things Which Make for Peace
By Francis Frangipane

"When He approached, He saw the city and wept over it" (Luke 19:41).

If Jesus came today and gazed upon the divisions and lack of prayer in His Church, would tears flood His eyes, even as He once wept over Jerusalem? Even now I believe the Lord's hands are extended in love toward the Church in our cities. Knowing we cannot win the citywide war as isolated, individual congregations, Christ longs to unite us.

Unity in the born-again church is not a casual reflection in Christ's heart. He said, "How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it!" (Luke 13:34).

Please hear the compassion in the Lord's heart. He pleaded, "How often I wanted to gather your children together." Time and again He has called us to humble ourselves, and in united prayer, allow Him to heal our land. But He chastened, "You would not...

There are things that make for peace. Pastors and their congregations must repent of the independence, spiritual pride, and insecurities that have kept them isolated from each other. God has wonderful, awesome plans for our cities. But the substructure of these “things that make for peace” is the citywide church becoming a house of prayer. – When the Many Are One

Pray for worldwide revival to go around the world as we declare God's word to the nations!

United States: Pray for repentance and a return to Christ and biblical values. If America experiences a genuine awakening, the impact will truly change the world. Pray as well for the US news agencies that are broadcasting the news under their own agenda, rather than just reporting the facts. Please ask God for mercy for our nation, justice, truth and that corruption would be uprooted, so that righteousness will prevail. That this nation would be "one nation under God, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all."

Those affected by Covid-19: Pray for healing and safety as well as the peace of Christ to rule and reign in the hearts of those affected by this virus. Please ask the Lord to use this pandemic for His glory and bring revival around the world. Pray for supernatual protection by the blood of Jesus.

Russia /Ukraine conflict: Pray for God to use this situation in both countries, that only His purposes come out of this invasion of Ukraine. Pray for salvations in both countries to be multiplied by the thousands.

Iraq: There has been an increase of bloodshed and warfare in Iraq. Please pray that this warfare doesn't escalate completely out of control.

North Korea: Pray for the leaders in North Korea to receive visitations from the Holy Spirit and that their hearts will be softened and work to restore peace.

Israel: Continued prayer for the peace of Jerusalem and peace with Israel's neighbors. Israel could be a great blessing for the surrounding nations.

The Lord said that His house would be called a house of prayer for all nations. At the center of the Lord's house, in the holiest place, is the mercy seat, where redemption for a sinful and suffering world is released through prayer. Your view that your culture is very corrupt may be precisely right. However, God tells us that He is looking for a man or woman who will intercede and stand in the gap for their people.

Every night my wife and I pray for our family, our friends and neighbors. We also pray for our community and America, our nation. We intercede for Israel but also for the Muslim world – especially where people are being destroyed by wars or oppressive regimes. We pray for people devastated by natural disasters, famines and poverty as well as those enslaved by human trafficking, drug addictions and gang violence. We also pray for reconciliation between North and South Korea and for revival to strike the Philippines (the largest Christian nation in Asia).

We believe that God does not want us to worry about the future, but to create the future by prayer. Will you join us?
