🌎🌍🌏 God Rules Nations, Restrains Evil, Dan 10:13, Guides Leaders, 1 Tim 2:1-2, Salvation, 1 Tim 2:3-4...

[Nochaeld]

Father, Restrain Evil, We Pray FOR ALL in Authority, 1 Tim 2:1-2, SALVATION in Jesus' Name, 3, 4... Father -- 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.

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.

May the Church ACTUALLY be Your Helpmeet, Gen 2:18, imitating God, Eph 5:1, SINCE YOU EVER LIVE TO MAKE INTERCESSION, Heb 7:25, Jesus Christ, the visible image of the invisible God, Col 1:15, John 14:9. "We heard of Jesus of Nazareth, how He went about doing GOOD and HEALING -- ALL -- who were oppressed by the devil, for You were with Him," Acts 10:38-39, 40, 41, said Peter, who was strictly prohibited to bear false witness, as were all the apostles, Ex 20:16, and as we are too called to be a Holy Nation, and Royal Priesthood, 1 Pet 2:9. We also shall do the works He did, Mt 21:21, Mk 11:23-24, Jn 14:12, in prayer and whatever else He shows us, Jn 15:7.

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.

We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up the nations of this world to our sovereign Lord, who rules over all creation. You have indeed established the boundaries of the nations and hold their times in Your hands, as Acts 17:26 declares, "He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings." We acknowledge that the nations are but a drop in the bucket compared to Your majesty, and we trust in Your power to restrain evil and guide leaders according to Your perfect will.

Father, we ask You to intercept the evil plans of the enemy in these unruly countries, just as You revealed the schemes of the king of Syria to Elisha and protected Israel. Bind the spirit of retaliation that seeks to sow discord and violence among nations, as Daniel 10:12-13 describes the spiritual battles that rage behind the scenes. We pray that You would back the evil one away from leaders and strategists, replacing their influence with Your peace and wisdom. May praise and worship rise up in these nations, for as 1 Samuel 16:23 shows, even the tormenting spirit departed from Saul when David played the harp. Let the name of the Lord be praised from the rising to the setting of the sun, as Psalm 113:3 proclaims.

We pray for our own country and leaders, asking that You lead them not into temptation but deliver them from evil, as Matthew 6:13 teaches. We are not ignorant of the devil’s schemes, for he is a murderer and liar from the beginning (John 8:44). Strengthen Your Church to be Your helpmeet, as Genesis 2:18 describes, imitating Christ in all things. For You, Jesus, ever live to make intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25), and we are called to walk in Your footsteps, doing the works You did and even greater works (John 14:12).

Lord, we ask You to spoil the evil one’s plans and tactics, aligning them with Your perfect will. Since these matters are beyond our human limitations, we commit them to You in prayer, confessing our sins and the sins of our nation, as Daniel did in Daniel 9:20. We pray for the salvation of all people, especially those in authority, that they may come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:1-4). Restrain the evil one even now, as Revelation 20:2 foretells, and give us authority over the enemy, as You promised in Luke 10:19. Yet, we rejoice even more in the salvation You have given us, for our names are written in heaven (Luke 10:20).

Heavenly Father, we thank You for hearing our prayers and acting on behalf of Your people. We trust in Your sovereignty and ask that You move mightily in these nations, bringing peace, righteousness, and salvation. May Your Church rise up in faith, prayer, and action, demonstrating Your love and power to a world in desperate need of You. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Amen.

Dear friend, we join you in lifting up the nations to our heavenly Father. We declare that He is sovereign over all, having determined the boundaries and appointed times of every nation (Acts 17:26). Let's intercede for the unruly countries, asking God to restrain evil and guide their leaders according to His will. We pray for a spirit of peace and wisdom to replace the spirit of retaliation and violence. Let's also pray for our own country and leaders, asking God to deliver them from temptation and evil. We trust in His power to spoil the enemy's plans and tactics, aligning them with His perfect will. We rejoice in the salvation He has given us and look forward to the day when His will is fully established on earth. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
