This Friday there will be a gathering in Ohio to pray and intercede about the war in Iran. I am not going to Ohio, but I am going to focus prayer this week on Iran. Would you please join me?

The gathering taking place on August 14, 2026, in Ohio has taken on incredible significance. I believe it will help change the course of history. It began in our planning as a night to pray for people’s healing, which we will still do at the end. But at the clear direction of Holy Spirit, we shifted the focus to prayer regarding the war in Iran, spiritual harvest in the Middle East, and also throughout the world. At the end of last week, the significance of the night went to a completely new level as I met with key national and international prayer leaders….
As we prayer leaders spoke late last week about how we could work together to be more effective, this subject of Iran came up not by me but by others. Lou Engle shared his great burden to pray regarding it, as only Lou can, and others echoed the same concerns. Some spoke of perhaps doing a national gathering in order to do so. Then another, who had heard about our August 14 service, spoke up and said, “Dutch and some other leaders already have one planned.” The group was very excited, jumped on board, and our plans for the 14th meeting went to an entirely new level. Holy Spirit’s planning is amazing.
As this gathering continues to gain momentum, I have no doubt that it will include believers from throughout the world. Many thousands will join us live; some in other time zones will do so later. The agreement when they do so will be just as strong and fruitful. I believe those in the body of Christ who understand the true authority of Christ’s Ekklesia on earth, the church, will rise to the challenge and impact the world through our prayers and agreement…
I believe God chose this day for the prayer gathering to confirm to us His focus on Iran and its importance. The enemy’s hold there must be broken. Jesus defeated the “strong man” (Matthew 12:29) over Iran – and every other nation – at the Cross, and the time has come for this to be enforced in the spiritual realm by the church. Doing so will release tremendous fruit in that nation, region, and throughout the world. Join us August 14, in person or by live stream, and let’s agree for this. Thousands of individuals, many prayer groups, and even entire congregations will do so. Help us write history on that day.
(If your church chooses to join us with a live prayer service, they can register at Oasiswired.org, and people in your region can be informed and join you.)
Pray with me:
Father, as we expand our focus on August 14 to pray regarding the war with Iran, the Middle East, and a worldwide harvest, we ask for Holy Spirit’s guidance and favor. Lead us in the time leading up to this and give us laser-like accuracy on that evening. Move on the hearts of many to join us. Give us a breakthrough in Iran and miracles for those present that night.
And Lord, it is clear that You commissioned us to enforce Christ’s victory over satan and his kingdom, and gave us authority to do so. We honor this and declare that the evil forces of violence, death, destruction, and spiritual blindness in the Middle East will not prevail. They have been stripped of their authority through Christ (Matthew 28:18), and in His name we bind their influence (Matthew 16:18-19). We command confusion and disorder into their ranks, and defeat to their plans.
We ask You, Lord, to supernaturally dismantle the IRGC and all control held by radical Islamists in Iran and the entire region. Free the people from this oppression, and all of the Middle East from their influence. Create a beachhead of liberty and a base for the gospel to the entire region. Strengthen and expand the Abraham Accords, and bring a great, great spiritual harvest to the entire Muslim world.
Lastly, give our government and military supernatural help and brilliant strategies. Keep our leaders from being deceived, misdirected, or out-maneuvered in any way. Do not allow this war to drag on. Protect our troops, our military bases, the innocent people of Iran, and the nations surrounding them. Protect Israel from every diabolical plan to harm them. In Yeshua’s name, amen.
