God The Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth Restrains Evil, Save and Guide "ALL in Authority," 1 Tim 2:1-2, thank You in Jesus' Name...
Father -- in humility we confess the TRUTH about You: You are Sovereign, "having made from one man all the nations of the earth, determining BOTH their APPOINTED TIMES and EXACT BOUNDARIES of their habitation, Acts 17:26. "Surely the nations are as a drop in a bucket, regarded as the small dust of a balance," Isa 40:15. Even Kings (Presidents, Prime Ministers, Dictators, Etc) "all leaders' hearts are as channels of water in Your hands, directing him whatsoever way You desire," Solomon, Prov 21:1... Even Pilate would have had no authority if it had not been given him from You, Jesus, Jn 19:11. Though that SHOULD settle the issue of authority (2 witnesses), "Authority comes from God," Asaph, Ps 75:6-7, submit to governing authorities as there is no authority except which God allows, Paul, Rom 13:1, "Most High rules over kingdom of men, Daniel 4:17, Pharisees, Rome and Herod acted in accord to what Your will deemed most necessary in the sacrifice of Jesus for the salvation of the world, Peter, John and The Early Believers in their prayer for boldness and miracles in Jesus' Name, Acts 4:27-28, 29-30, resulting in a physical shaking, v 31.Lifting this burden to YOU asking YOU to restrain the evil one over Several Unruly Countries at present, asking You intercept evil plans, sovereignly, as Elisha heard the king of Syria and related it to Israel, in 2 Kings 6:12, and how David knew evil had been intended against him by Saul, 1 Sam 20:3, 9, 27-28, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34, 35-36, 37-38, 39-40, 41-42.
Bind the spirit of retaliation over these countries, Dan 10:12-13, 14. Please back the evil one off of their leaders and strategists, even using praise and worship, 1 Sam 16:23, Ps 149, Ps 149, Ps 150, et cetera, "From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the NAME of The LORD shall be praised," Ps 113:3.
Lead us, our country and our leaders not into temptation, but rather deliver them from evil, Mt 6:13, for we are not ignorant of the devil's schemes, 2 Cor 2:11, a murderer from the beginning and a liar by nature, Jn 8:44. Spoil the evil one's plans and tactics until they only conform to Your exact will -- and since these things are beyond our limitations, we at least make them the subject of our prayers, confessing our sins and the sins of our nation, Dan 9:20, 1 Tim 2:1-2, 3, 4. Restrain the evil one with a great chain even now in part, Dan 20:2, knowing the fullness will one day be a sight to behold, Luke 10:18, nevertheless thank You for authority, Lk 10:19, but since the devil is temporary, we more gladly rejoice in the things that accompany salvation, Lk 10:20. Thank You in Jesus' Name.
