Heavenly Father, we come
in the Name of Jesus – not our name, not our power, not our holiness, not even
our goodness – but we come in the Name of Jesus, washed in His blood, robed in
His righteousness. We come because You told us to come.
You said in Your Holy Word
for us to come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain help and grace
to help in the time of need. Thank You, Father. We are exhorted in Your Word to
pray, to intercede, to supplicate, and to give thanks for all who are in authority,
that Christians – that believers – everywhere, may lead a quiet and peaceable life
in all godliness and honesty.
We pray for our leaders –
our President, every member of Congress, the Supreme Court, the President’s
cabinet, everyone that’s in authority – that divine wisdom and grace will be
given unto them. And direction will be given unto them.
We come against the powers
of darkness, the forces of evil, that would try to dominate and rule in our own
nation. We rise up against that darkness. We rise up against those spirits and dispel the
darkness.
In the Name of Jesus, we
command the devil to take his hand off the political scene of our nation. We
pray for every politician, everyone that’s in office, that they’ll not be so
concerned about politics, that they’ll not be so party conscious, but that
they’ll be concerned about our nation as a whole – and above all, put God
first.
We come against the powers
of darkness, the forces of evil, the demons of hell that would endeavor to dominate
the financial scene of our nation. We pray for the economy of our nation. We
pray about the unemployed.
We pray that the economy
will be turned around, and everyone who wants a job will find a job, and that
we will be prosperous as a whole – as a nation – to continue to carry the
Gospel around the world. We command the
devil and all his cohorts: Take your hands off the financial scene in our
nation.
We come against the powers
of darkness, the forces of evil that would endeavor to dominate the domestic
scene of our nation. We command the devil and his cohorts: Take your hands off
the domestic scene of our nation.
May there be peace. May there
be tranquility. May there be understanding from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border.
We sweep the air clean
from demons and powers of evil that would hinder and dominate. In the Name of Jesus! We come against all forces
that are wrong.
And Father, we pray with
our understanding as best we know how. We’re instructed to do so. Yet we sense
in our spirit that our spirits have not prayed as they would like.
We remember that Paul said
that if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, my spirit, by the Holy
Spirit within me prays.
So the great, mighty
Spirit of God dwells in us. He is our Helper. He is our Counselor. He is our
Advocate. He is our Intercessor. He is our Standby. He will help us. We trust
Him to help us pray in this area and about our nation and the leaders and all
that are in authority.
Help us to pray as we
ought to pray, and about things that we don’t even know to pray.
And so, we trust Him. He
will give us utterance. And we will pray and intercede and give thanks to the
Spirit.
