Dear Praying Friends,
One of my favorite authors on transformational prayer is Wesley Duewel. He lived to 99 years of age, having served the cause of Jesus' Great Commission for more than 70 of those years. His book, Mighty Prevailing Prayer, is really a "must-read" on the many aspects of achieving breakthroughs in transforming our world through intercession. From the great depth and breadth of Duewel's long experience of service in both the missions and prayer movements, he writes: "There is nothing higher or holier in Christian living and service. In prevailing prayer you rise to your full potential as created in the image of God and as exalted to the heavenlies to share with Christ the intercessory throne (Eph. 1:20-21, 2:6)...You have been saved to reign through prayer." What a wonderful and true assertion--that through the Holy Spirit, we already are directly connected, sitting next to the Great Intercessor Himself (Heb. 7:25) in order to pray with Him over our broken and needy world.
From this position next to our exalted Lord and Savior, can we, therefore, please agree with Him and one another in authoritative, faith-filled prayer for transformational breakthroughs to be released in the serious situations our world faces right now?
1. The Iran war was undertaken because the Mullah-led regime, the main state-sponsor of terrorism, was very close to developing 10-11 nuclear weapons, having enriched hundreds of pounds of uranium to 60% and possibly within a few weeks, being able to plant such weapons on their long-range missiles to attack Israel and other nations. It was necessary to stop these madmen with a complete disregard for life due to their brand of suicidal Shiite Islam. They have killed and executed many tens of thousands of their own people, over 40,000 of whom perished in a few days in January, just for protesting the harmful policies of that government.
Let's pray for a successful but swift end to this conflict so that the lives of the Iranian people can be spared and so this war does not escalate into a possible World War III scenario, involving China and Russia. Also, according to a major Iranian Christian leader I spoke with, there are an estimated 6 to 8 million Jesus followers, our brothers and sisters in Christ, now part the world's fastest growing Christian movement there. Pray for President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the fractured leadership of Iran, whoever is actually in-charge, to come to a workable, faithfully adhered to agreement to end the war and also to swiftly reopen the Strait of Hormuz to safe passage for hundreds of ships waiting to get through. They are carrying necessities of life, not only oil but also fertilizer and other products that are so necessary for the life and wellbeing of millions waiting for those crucial resources. It is also a spiritual battle, as the same Iranian ministry leader described, with that same evil principality the prophet Daniel faced--the Prince of Persia which may still be dominating Iran and delaying the rapid ending of this war. Let's agree that dark spirit be bound in Jesus' Name!
China has been pushing back in defiance of sanctions due to its alliance with Iran and strong dependence on its provision of most of its oil imports. President Trump plans to meet with Xi Jinping later this week in Beijing to hopefully get his compliance with the current strategy to end the war. There are also many tensions with China's communist party, the CCP, because of their bid for world dominance in alignment with the globalists. Globalists generally aim to achieve a "New World Order" to ultimately totally control all humanity. The WEF, WHO, UN and many other institutions approve of this objective and are active in advancing it. They want China to be the model for the new world system they envision, with its already functioning massive surveillance and totalitarianism that so horribly oppresses its people. Let's pray all these totalitarian intentions be overthrown; that Trump and Xi's meeting will go well to tamp down tensions and help end both the Iran and Russia-Ukraine wars; and also for President Trump to be wise and protected from any machinations of the CCP, who are so threatened by his forceful leadership on the world stage.
Please see the attached video below about the horrific intentions of the globalists. Also, try to get and read the newly published book, The Red Tsunami by Casey Fleming (2026). It is an urgent wake-up call for us as intercessors from a top intelligence expert on China, exhaustively detailing its efforts to penetrate all other nations to eventually overthrow their governments and conquer their citizens through "unrestricted warfare".
It was encouraging to hear about the three-day ceasefire that Ukraine and Russia were observing before there were some violations of it. Let's pray that it will become permanent and that lasting peace and restoration can come to both countries that have sacrificed almost 2 million lives and experienced so much destruction to their infrastructures in this pointless conflict.
In the meantime, Jesus' Great Commission is the passion of the Lord's heart and the most important thing in human history because its accomplishment has such eternal repercussions for all humanity.
Please pray that all the Unreached Peoples and especially the most unreached among them, the 4700+ Frontier People Groups (with only one Christian per thousand if any on average) be adopted in prayer and mission outreach. (See https://joshuaproject.net/peoplegroupadoptionto get their helpful resources-prayer cards, profiles, videos, etc.) Here are two other recently created resources that are now available in multiple world languages through the Settings icon and Subtitles key for auto-translation. Both are short song-videos. The one for adults, Every Heart Will Know, stirring viewers to pray for the 3200+ FPGs (the same as the 4700+ but counted only once, not in all the countries to which they have immigrated).
This one for children focuses on 31 of the largest FPGs and enables kids to learn about and pray for them in a sweet, catchy manner. You will be touched by them both, so please share them with your churches, prayer groups and Sunday Schools so they can be blessed as well.
Let's pray that these important new resources along with others in the pipeline, such as the feature-length docu-drama, The King is Coming!, will be successfully funded and completed to be used by the Lord to mobilize tens of thousands, especially those of the younger generation, to pray for and go to reach these FPGs! (The one page vision is attached below if you want to know more about it.)
Finally, in an amazing answer to the prayers of many, America is being called to rededicate our nation to the Lord! President Trump and the White House are behind this decision, and up to 100 thousand of us will meet on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, May 17th, for a meaningful time of humbly seeking God's face, giving thanks to Him and dedicating our country to Him for the future. It is free and open to the public. All are invited! Please see this website and register if you can come: https://freedom250.org/celebration/rededicate-250-a-national-jubilee-of-prayer-praise-and-thanksgiving Also, if you can take part in Australia's gracious 72 hour prayer initiative for America, Australia and other nations on that same weekend: Global Call for 72 hours of Prayer for America and Video. https://dailydeclaration.org.au/2026/05/08/pray-for-usa-historic-time/
May we all be strongly encouraged to grow in the practice of mighty, prevailing prayer! As E.M. Bounds puts it, "Prayer can do anything that God can do." Wow! What an awesome privilege we all have to engage with the One on the throne of the universe and to see our world transformed by His all-powerful workings!
All His best always,
John Robb
