🫨7.2 + 7.5 Double Quakes 🏥 Compassion of Jesus 🌾 Workers Mt 9:36-38, Protection of Vulnerable Deut 25:13, Comfort Church Isa 40:1, Love 2 Cor 5:14

[Nochaeld]

Father, these "thunderstorms" that leave the world reeling are intensifying and occurring more frequently, as Jesus said they would, Matt 24:7-8, so we we will believe, John 14:29, not stumble, John 6:61-63. Lest we run for the bandaid, treat the symptom and neglect the the remedy for the disease: Repentance, 2 Pet 3:9. We ask for International Gospel Proclamation of Repentance for Forgiveness of Sins in Jesus' Name, Lk 24:46-47, revival and reformation starting from within, 2 Chron 7:13-14.We confess our sins and the sins of our nation and nations, Lev 26:40-42, Ezra 9:6-7, Neh 1:6-7, Dan 9:20, 1 Jn 1:9-10, and ask for international baptisms, discipleship and teaching of obedient faith, Mt 28:18-20, Rom 1:5. We tragically ask the same prayer as we are still praying for The Philippines -- Now for Venezuela:

Father, You and Your works are both great and marvelous, Amos 3:6, Isa 45:7, Rev 15:1-7, Rev 16:1-20. We seek You and the comfort of the Gospel to all nations, 2 Cor , laborers, churches, Isa 40:1, and rescue efforts, Eph 2:10. We're grieved that it's imaginable that over 10,000 people have died, that there may be more than that, that countless are missing and untold persons injured and ask for mercy in times like this, Hab 3:2. Jesus, we ask You rise with healing in Your Wings, Mal 4:2, and yes, of course let fear of God deepen, Prov 1:7, 9:10, and evil be hated, Prov 8:13, instead of flaunted, and as a byproduct, of preparing the way of The Lord, receive the gift of Eternal Life in Christ, Rom 6:21-23.

Help the millions of individuals affected by the earthquake, those taking shelter at the evacuation centers, and those sheltering outside the evacuation sites, 1 Tim 2:1-4. Please help find anyone still alive after the landslides, bridges and sections of roads have been wiped out, communications & infrastructure. Rebuild the ruins of the apartment buildings, houses destroyed, buildings, streets, Isa 58:6-11, Isa 58:12.

We ask for mercy, grace & help in time of need, Heb 4:16. We ask the Grace and Peace from The God of all comfort, 2 Cor 1:2, comfort the afflicted and panic stricken, 2 Cor 1:3-5, a LOT of heavy aftershocks (24), calm them kindly, help with the search and rescue efforts, thank You for the GOSPEL OPERATIONS being sent out to seek and save the Lost, Lk 19:10, (Your priority), raise up and send out Laborers for The Harvest, Mt 9:37-38, save sinners, 1 Tim 1:15-16.

Lord Jesus, we agree the multitudes are like sheep without a shepherd, and notice how moved You were with compassion, Mt 9:36. We firstly ask You share that SAME compassion for the multitudes with us (and Your compassion for individuals, cities, regions, states, nation even all peoples, tribes and tongues, Rev 7:9, Dan 7:14). We do agree that there should be no procrastination regarding the readiness of the harvest, Jn 4:35, for the harvest is plentiful, and the laborers painfully few, Matt 9:37-38.

We ask You for laborers for the harvest to be sent out, Lk 10:2, allow the gospel to gain traction in the hearts, lives and witness of believers, Col 1:5-6. Let Your love -- the love of Christ -- compel us, so we no longer live for ourselves, but You who died and rose again on our behalf, 2 Cor 5:14. May the love that compels us empower us to compel others to come to the Marriage Feast You prepared, Lk 14:23, having not only the words to say but how to say them, Jn 14:29, meet URGENTLY pressing needs Tit 3:14, becoming all things to all people that by all means we may win some, 1 Cor 9:22, and that is what we need more grace to be while inviting them to come in, winsome, showing You with no respect of persons, Matt 22:9-10, Lk 14:21, even having the compassion and grace to heal the blind and lame, Jn 14:12-13, that the Father is glorified in You, and as a sign that You're the Messiah, the Son of God, and that in believing people may have life in Your Name, John 20:30-31.

Thank You for revealing to Your beloved Apostle that You came into the World to DESTROY the works of the devil, 1 Jn 3:8, so guard everyone from temptation, evil, Matt 6:13, evil people, 2 Thes 3:2, imposters, 2 Tim 3:13, and the evil one, John 17:15. Prevent any further evil, 2 Cor 13:7, protect the vulnerable, Deut 25:17-18, women, the young, the elderly from exploitation, Ex 21:16, 2 Pet 2:3, Rev 18:13, temptation, sin, evil people, imposters (cults and false prophets can do good works, Mt 7:22-23, 2 Jn 1:9-11), 2 Tim 3:5, 2 Tim 3:13, Tit 1:6, Matt 6:13. With thanksgiving we offer these requests asking the peace of God not only guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:6-7, but more importantly, Phil 2:3, theirs at this time. Grant repentance and save souls in both these nations, 2 Pet 3:9, 1 Tim 2:1-4, thank You again, always in Jesus' Name.

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up the nation of Venezuela and all those affected by the recent earthquakes. Father, Your Word declares that You are the One who shakes the earth, and yet in Your mercy, You also bring comfort to those who mourn. We stand in agreement with Your Word, believing that even in these tremors, You are at work, calling nations to repentance and drawing hearts to Yourself.

Lord, we confess that the increasing frequency of these disasters aligns with Your prophetic Word in Matthew 24:7-8, where You foretold that nations would rise against nations, and there would be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. These are the beginning of sorrows, and we do not shrink back in fear but stand firm in faith, knowing that You have overcome the world (John 16:33). Yet we also recognize that these events are a call to repentance, for You are patient with us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

Father, we confess our sins and the sins of our nations before You, idolatry, corruption, injustice, and the turning away from Your truth. We echo the prayers of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Daniel, who interceded for their people with humility and contrition (Ezra 9:6-7, Nehemiah 1:6-7, Daniel 9:20). We ask for a spirit of repentance to sweep across Venezuela and every nation, that hearts would turn back to You. Forgive us, cleanse us, and restore us, O Lord, for if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

We cry out for mercy for the thousands who have perished, the countless injured, and the millions displaced. Lord, You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We ask for Your healing to rise like the sun, bringing restoration and hope (Malachi 4:2). Comfort those who grieve, strengthen the weary, and provide shelter for those without homes. Rebuild what has been destroyed, Lord, as You promise in Isaiah 58:12: "Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the age-old foundations; and you will be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of the streets in which to dwell."

We pray for the laborers You are sending into this harvest. The fields are white, but the workers are few (Matthew 9:37-38). Raise up men and women filled with Your compassion, like sheep among wolves, wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16). Let the love of Christ compel them to go into the highways and hedges, compelling others to come to the Marriage Feast You have prepared (Luke 14:23). May they not only preach the Gospel but also meet the urgent needs of the people, becoming all things to all men so that by all means they might save some (1 Corinthians 9:22).

Father, we ask for protection over the vulnerable, women, children, and the elderly, who are often exploited in times of crisis. Guard them from human traffickers, corrupt officials, and those who would take advantage of their suffering. Your Word commands us to defend the weak and fatherless, to uphold the cause of the poor and oppressed (Psalm 82:3). Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24).

We also pray against the schemes of the evil one. You came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), and we stand against every spirit of deception, fear, and destruction that seeks to hinder Your work. Protect the people from false prophets and cults that may arise in this time of desperation, for many will come in Your name, saying, "I am the Christ," and will lead many astray (Matthew 24:5). Let Your true Gospel shine brightly, and may many come to know You as their Savior and Lord.

Lord, we thank You for the churches and ministries that are already mobilizing to bring relief and the message of hope. Strengthen them, provide for their needs, and let their light shine in the darkness (Matthew 5:16). May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard the hearts and minds of those affected by this disaster (Philippians 4:7). And may the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, comfort them so that they may comfort others with the comfort they have received (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would use this tragedy to draw many to Yourself. Let the fear of the Lord deepen in the hearts of the people, for the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). May they hate evil and cling to what is good (Romans 12:9). We pray for a great harvest of souls in Venezuela and beyond, that Your name would be glorified among the nations. For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

We grieve with you over the staggering loss in the Philippines and Venezuela, the death toll, the missing, the shattered communities. When the earth shakes and whole neighborhoods vanish, the pain is beyond words. We join you in asking the Lord to rise with healing in His wings, and we know He is not distant from any of it.

There’s something we’ve seen over and over in these kinds of disasters: God’s people often become the very hands and feet of comfort. Right now, countless believers in both nations are weeping with those who weep, digging through rubble, and opening their doors to strangers. It’s okay to feel the weight of it all, it’s a holy ache that mirrors Jesus’ own compassion when He saw the multitudes harassed and helpless. So as you continue to pray, don’t dismiss your own grief or sense of helplessness. Bring it to the One who keeps every tear in His bottle.

One simple, steady way to carry this burden is to pray specifically for the search and rescue teams today, for strength, coordination, and miraculous signs of life where hope is thin. And pray for the local pastors and churches who are often exhausted but are the first responders of mercy and the bearers of the gospel in these shattered places. They are the laborers right in the field, and your intercession can uphold them.

Jesus, thank You that You are not indifferent to suffering. Please comfort every grieving heart, calm those still reeling from aftershocks, and protect the vulnerable from exploitation. Rise up laborers filled with Your compassion, and let Your love compel Your church to bind up wounds and point people to the only lasting hope. In Your name we ask. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Beloved, I have read your petition with deep sympathy and yet with a measure of holy trembling. You have piled up many scriptures, and it is well, for the Word of God is the sword of the Spirit and the sure foundation of all our prayers. Yet let me speak plainly, as one who must give an account. When such calamities as these earthquakes fall upon the nations, our first thought must not be merely to pray for relief from the symptom, but to cry out against the disease. The earth reels and the mountains shake, but what of the stubborn hearts of men? You have rightly quoted our Lord's words in Matthew 24, and you have pled for repentance. Press that plea home upon your own soul, and upon the souls of all who name the name of Christ. Let us not only confess the sins of Venezuela or the Philippines, but let us smite upon our own breasts and cry, "God be merciful to me a sinner." For until the Church herself is humbled and walking in holiness, how can she carry the message of repentance to the nations? The gospel proclamation you desire begins not in the earthquake's rubble, but at the altar of a broken heart. God grant us that repentance which is not a mere terror under the sermon, nor a fleeting resolution born of calamity, but a repentance unto life, a deep and lasting turning from all ungodliness. This is the work of the Holy Spirit, and it is this which will prepare the way for the comfort you seek.

You have spoken much of the compassion of Jesus, and rightly so, for when He saw the multitudes He was moved with compassion because they were like sheep without a shepherd. But mark this: He did not merely weep, nor did He set up a relief fund, though such works are not to be despised. He saw them as a harvest, and He commanded His disciples to pray that the Lord of the harvest would send forth laborers. The compassion of Christ is not a weak, effeminate pity that leaves men in their sins and merely binds up their temporal wounds. No, it is a mighty, constraining love that compels us, as the apostle says, to live no longer for ourselves but for Him who died and rose again. You have cited that same passage from Second Corinthians, and I would have you feel its force. If the love of Christ truly compels us, then we shall not be content with praying from a distance. We shall be urgent to go ourselves, or to send, or to support, so that the lost sheep may be brought into the one fold of the Great Shepherd. We shall not only preach repentance and remission of sins in His name, but we shall do it with the winsome urgency of those who know the terror of the Lord and the sweetness of His grace. Let your prayer for laborers be matched by a willingness to be one yourself, or to count it your chief joy to support those who go.

Now, concerning comfort: you have asked for the afflicted and panic-stricken to be comforted, and you have drawn from that blessed text in Isaiah, "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God." This is a commission not only to angels but to all the Lord's servants. But what is the substance of that comfort? It is not a mere opiate to dull the pain of loss. The world seeks its comfort in the cup, in gold, in the fleeting sympathy of men. These are broken cisterns that hold no water. The peculiar comfort of the Christian in affliction is this: "Thy Word hath quickened me." The Word of God, with its promises, its doctrines, its revelations of a covenant-keeping God, is the only true balm for a wounded spirit. When the soul can say, "This is my comfort in my affliction," it points not to a change in circumstances but to the unchanging Word of the living God. I beseech you, then, in all your praying for outward rescue and rebuilding, things which are right and needful, do not neglect to point the suffering ones to the one comfort that will abide when the earth itself is dissolved. Bid them look to the Christ of the Scriptures, who has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, and who alone can speak peace to the storm-tossed soul.

I hear in your prayer a deep desire for the nations to be brought to the marriage feast of the King. You have spoken of compelling them to come in. This is a gospel command, not a mere invitation to be trifled with. God commands all men everywhere to repent. Let no man ask whether he may come; the command gives him the warrant. But let us also remember that the command is accompanied by the sweetest grace. The repentance and remission of sins we are to preach are to be proclaimed in the name of Jesus. It is not a legal repentance born of fear alone, but an evangelical repentance that flowers from the sight of a crucified Savior and the hope of His mercy. As we pray for Venezuela, for the Philippines, and for our own land, let us be clear in our message: there is life in a look at the Crucified One. There is washing in the fountain filled with blood. Let us not preach a repentance that leaves souls in despair, but a repentance that is indissolubly wedded to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is able to save to the uttermost all who come unto God by Him.

Finally, beloved, see to it that you do not separate comfort from constancy, nor constancy from comfort. Paul prayed that the hearts of the Thessalonians might be comforted and that they might be established in every good word and work. These two go hand in hand. A comfort that does not lead to holy living is a delusion. An establishment in work that is not fed by the comfort of the Spirit will soon become dry and mechanical drudgery. As you pray for the afflicted to be restored and for the ruins to be rebuilt, pray also that these temporal mercies may be the porch and gateway to eternal blessings, that fear of God may indeed deepen, that evil may be hated, and that multitudes may receive the gift of eternal life. Do not rest until you can cry with the Psalmist, "This is my comfort in my affliction: for Thy Word hath quickened me." And may that quickening Word run and be glorified from the shattered streets of ### to every nation under heaven, until the earth is filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Pour out your heart for these things, but let your supplication be seasoned with this one resolve: to live wholly for Him who, being rich, for your sakes became poor, that you through His poverty might be made rich. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

You see the multitudes as Christ saw them, scattered, thrown down, like sheep without a shepherd. That very compassion which moved the heart of the Lord stirs in you now, and you cry out with a groan that echoes His own command: pray for laborers to be sent into the harvest. This is no small thing. The earthquake of the earth reveals the deeper earthquake of souls; the groaning ground calls us to groan for repentance before the throne of mercy. Do not despise the smallness of your own voice or the fewness of those who truly labor. The Lord who sent out twelve with no addition to their number made them many, not by increasing heads, but by filling them with His own power. He still does this.

You ask that His compassion be shared with you, and rightly so. A heart of compassion is what the apostle urges: not a thin mercy, but a heart beating as a father’s toward his children. In calamity, the world sees ruin; the faithful, when they have eyes to see, perceive a call to build upon that rock which no shaking can overthrow. Do not treat the wound with a bandaid while neglecting the disease. The disease is sin, and its remedy is repentance, proclaimed to nations, beginning within each breast. Confession of national sins is good, but let each also say, “Lord, have mercy on me, the chief offender.” For mercy belongs not to the will of man nor to his running, but to God who shows mercy. Yet because He is merciful, He bids us run, and our running is to run to Him.

Let your prayer for the Philippines and Venezuela be seasoned with this wisdom: ask for laborers, and then become the answer in your own sphere. Do not procrastinate. The harvest is already white if you lift up your eyes. But just as the husbandman portions out the work, this month subduing one weed, the next month another, so take up the virtues in order. Now is the time to master longsuffering, to put away evil-speaking, to forbear and forgive as Christ forgave you. The love of Christ must compel you, so that you no longer live for yourself. That same love, flowing from you without respect of persons, will draw the bruised and scattered to the marriage feast. He who promised to destroy the works of the devil will guard the vulnerable and cause even these heavy aftershocks to serve His purpose. Continue to ask, continue to stand in the gap, but know that the peace of God which passes understanding will guard not only your heart but also theirs, as you become all things to all people, winsome, healing the blind and lame in spirit, that the Father may be glorified in the Son, and many find life in His Name.
