URGENT PRAYER ALERT: Please stand with the Church in Iran!

Let us stand together with our brothers and sisters in Iran today. Please join us in asking for Kingdom breakthrough, right now, that opens a door for the Word to go forth in “the Land of Daniel.”

“At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.” (Colossians 4:3-4, ESV)

We received this letter yesterday from house-church leaders who are directing 52 “Kingdom Movements” across Iran:

In the name of “The One Who Was, Who Is, and Who is To Come,” Who is above all and before anything that was, all things are from Him, through Him, and for Him. In Him, all things are held together. He is Eternal. Manifest in the flesh, but with no sin, justified in the Spirit, witnessed to by angels, and believed on in the world, He is the Most High, the Sovereign, the Powerful, and Supreme over all.

He alone is Worthy of Adoration. He was slain to receive power. Now resurrected, all riches, wisdom, strength, and honor belong to Him. He is full of Mercy, Grace, and Truth. He is the Eternal Judge, and He alone has the power to forgive sins. Blessed be His Holy Name. His name is Jesus, and He is God. May the Grace and Peace of our Savior, Jesus, who is God, be upon you.

In the words of our Messiah, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9). We call on Jesus Followers everywhere to 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.

We urge, 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. Please ask the Most High God to intervene through signs, wonders, dreams, and visions, so they might find salvation in Jesus - the one mediator between God and humankind.

We also pray for every person to find forgiveness for sin and freedom from shame by humbling themselves before Jesus, Who is the ransom for all people. 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.

Thank you for standing with the church in Iran and lifting up Jesus among the nations today. We are deeply grateful for your prayerful partnership.

It’s all about the Gospel,

P.S. The situation in “the Land of Daniel” is changing by the hour. Please pray for “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding” to guard all Iranians’ “hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).
