🌎🌍🌏 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, 1 Tim 2:3-4... 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, 1 Sam 20:9, 1 Sam 20:27-42.

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, Eph 5:32-33, imitating God, Eph 5:1, even Jesus, who also intercedes for us, Rom 8:34, since You ever live to make intercession for us, 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 hearts heavy for the nations, acknowledging the truth that You alone rule over the kingdoms of this world. You have set their boundaries and appointed their times, and not one of them is beyond Your sovereign control. As it is written, "He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings" (Acts 17:26). The nations are indeed like a drop in a bucket to You, yet in Your mercy, You hear the cries of Your people and act on their behalf.

We lift up the unruly nations before You now, asking that You would restrain the evil one and intercept his wicked plans. Just as You revealed the schemes of the king of Syria to Elisha, that they might not prevail against Israel (2 Kings 6:12), and just as You made known the evil intentions of Saul to David (1 Samuel 20:3, 9, 27-42), we ask that You would expose and thwart the works of darkness in these nations. Bind the spirit of retaliation that seeks to perpetuate cycles of violence and hatred, as Daniel encountered the prince of Persia who withstood him for twenty-one days (Daniel 10:12-14). We declare that no principality or power can stand against the authority of Your name, and we ask that You would back the evil one off from the leaders and strategists of these nations.

We recognize that praise and worship are powerful weapons against the enemy. Just as David’s harp drove away the evil spirit from Saul (1 Samuel 16:23), we ask that the praises of Your people would rise like incense before You, breaking the chains of darkness over these nations. Let the name of the Lord be praised from the rising of the sun to its going down (Psalm 113:3), and may Your glory fill the earth as the waters cover the sea. We pray that You would lead these nations and their leaders away from temptation and deliver them from evil, for we know that the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). But we also know that You are greater, and that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow (Philippians 2:10).

Father, we ask that the Church would arise as Your true helpmeet, fulfilling the purpose for which You created her. Just as Eve was created to be a helper suitable for Adam (Genesis 2:18), so too is the Church called to be the bride of Christ, submitting to Him in all things (Ephesians 5:32-33). May we imitate You, as beloved children (Ephesians 5:1), walking in love and holiness, and may we follow the example of Jesus, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38). We declare that we will do the works that He did, and even greater works, because He has gone to the Father (John 14:12). We will pray with faith, believing that whatever we ask in His name, according to Your will, You will do (John 15:7).

We confess our sins and the sins of our nation, acknowledging that we have not always been faithful to Your calling. We have allowed the enemy to gain footholds through our disobedience, and we repent of any way in which we have aligned ourselves with the world rather than with You. We ask that You would spoil the evil one’s plans and tactics, turning them back on his own head, so that they may only conform to Your perfect will. We recognize that these battles are not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12), and so we take up the full armor of God, standing firm in prayer and intercession.

We thank You that even now, You are restraining the evil one with a great chain, as You will one day cast him into the abyss (Revelation 20:2). We rejoice in the authority You have given us to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19), but even more, we rejoice that our names are written in heaven (Luke 10:20). We thank You for the salvation that is found in no other name but Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

Heavenly Father, we pray for the leaders of these nations, that You would grant them wisdom and discernment to govern with justice and righteousness. We ask that You would turn their hearts toward You, that they may seek Your face and find Your mercy. May Your Church arise in these nations, shining as lights in the darkness, and may the gospel of Jesus Christ be proclaimed with boldness and power. We ask that You would raise up men and women of faith who will stand in the gap, interceding for their nations and declaring Your word with authority.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name that is above every name, the name by which we have access to the Father, and the name by which we are saved. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We trust in You, our sovereign Lord, and we commit these nations into Your hands, knowing that You will accomplish Your purposes in them. Amen.

We join our hearts with yours, dear brother/sister, in lifting up these nations before our Heavenly Father. We echo your cries and add our own petitions. We declare that God indeed rules over the nations, and we trust in His sovereignty. As it is written, "He has made from one every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings" (Acts 17:26). We believe that God has a purpose and a plan for each of these nations, and we ask that He would reveal His will to us, His Church, that we might align ourselves with it.

We ask that God would restrain the evil one in these nations, binding him and limiting his influence. We pray that God would expose and frustrate the plans of the enemy, just as He did in the days of Elisha and David. We declare that no weapon formed against these nations shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment He will condemn (Isaiah 54:17).

We intercede for the leaders of these nations, asking that God would grant them wisdom, understanding, and a heart to seek Him. We pray that they would govern with justice and righteousness, and that God would turn their hearts towards Him. We ask that God would raise up men and women of faith in these nations, who would stand in the gap and make up the hedge, interceding for their nations and declaring God's word with boldness and power (Ezekiel 22:30).

We confess our own sins and the sins of our nations, acknowledging that we have often fallen short and failed to be the light and salt that God has called us to be. We ask for God's forgiveness and mercy, and we pray that He would use us to bring about revival and transformation in these nations.

We thank God for His love and faithfulness, and we trust in His goodness. We believe that He is working all things together for the good of those who love Him, and we are confident that He will accomplish His purposes in these nations. We pray all these things in Jesus' mighty name, amen.

Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
