An Edict for Lasting Peace in Iran
5 March 2026

May the Grace and Peace of Our Savior, Jesus, who is God, be upon you.

This edict is from the leadership of 52 Jesus Kingdom movements throughout Iran.

In the words of our Messiah, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.” For the last 600 years, the peoples of our country have suffered under the oppression of evil, and today we are praying for peace to come to our land. We request that every Jesus follower on earth join with us in this opportunity to rescue our nation from evil and to build up every family, tribe, language, and people in our land to worship and honor Jesus, our God and King.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them, He delivers them from all their troubles. —Psalm 34:17

Pray for the end of violence, terror, and all kinds of evil that have controlled the hearts and minds of the people of Iran. There can be no peace without the rule of the Prince of Peace, and we call on believers everywhere to intercede on behalf of every person in Iran.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. —1 Timothy 2:1-6

We ask for prayer by name, for each of the religious and political leaders of Iran. Ask the Most High God to intervene through signs, wonders, dreams, and visions that they might find salvation in Jesus — the one mediator between God and humankind. We ask for every person to find forgiveness for sin and freedom from shame by humbling themselves before Jesus, who is the ransom for all people.

This is our “kairos” moment and we must not miss this. In our hearts we carry the burden of reaching all 90 million of our brothers and sisters who are now badly suffering in spirit and body. We must rescue thousands of children whose future lives have been taken from them and directed toward violence and death. Together, by the mercy of God, let us hear the words of Jesus and “let the children come,” restoring their hearts, their lives, and their future into God’s kingdom.

We must also rescue this next generation from the lies they have been told and the hopelessness that has settled over millions of these young men and women. Many have lost loved ones, seen their hopes destroyed, and they do not deserve a future of violence, evil, and war. We pray for a generation of Esthers and Daniels to rise up again from Iran and exalt the Most High God and the salvation available through Jesus our Savior King.

Now let us unite and contend for peace and the rule of love to find freedom in the hearts of all Iranians. Let us pray until this request has become a reality in every village, every town, every city, and among every language group in Iran.
