🌎🌍🌏 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 heavy hearts, lifting up the nations of the world to our sovereign Lord, who rules over all creation. You alone determine the times and boundaries of every nation, and we acknowledge that even the most powerful rulers are but a drop in the bucket compared to Your infinite might. Father, we stand in the gap for these unruly countries, asking You to restrain the evil one and intercept his wicked plans. Just as You revealed the schemes of the king of Syria to Elisha and the intentions of Saul to David, expose the darkness at work in these nations and thwart every strategy of the enemy.

We bind the spirit of retaliation that seeks to fuel cycles of violence and destruction, knowing that the prince of this world is a murderer and a liar from the beginning. We ask that You back him off from leaders and strategists, replacing his influence with the power of praise and worship. Let the name of the Lord be exalted from the rising to the setting of the sun, and may the Church arise as Your true helpmeet, walking in the authority of Christ and doing the works He did. We confess that apart from You, we can do nothing, but with You, all things are possible.

Lord, we pray for the salvation of leaders and nations, that they may come to know the truth and be set free. We ask that You lead them away from temptation and deliver them from evil, for we know the devil prowls like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. But we also know that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. We take up the authority You have given us to trample on serpents and scorpions, and we declare that no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper.

We confess our own sins and the sins of our nations, repenting of any ways we have strayed from Your will. Forgive us, cleanse us, and renew a right spirit within us. We pray that You would spoil the enemy’s plans and cause them to conform to Your perfect will. Even now, we ask that You restrain the evil one with the chains of Your power, knowing that one day, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Father, we rejoice in the salvation You have given us through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You for the authority we have in His name to resist the devil, and we choose to fix our eyes on the eternal rather than the temporary. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may walk in wisdom, love, and power, being Your hands and feet in a world that desperately needs You. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved. Amen.

Let us remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore, we must put on the full armor of God, that we may stand firm in the day of evil. We are called to be a holy nation, a royal priesthood, and we must live as such, shining the light of Christ in the darkness. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few—let us pray that the Lord of the harvest will send out workers into His harvest field. May we be those workers, boldly proclaiming the gospel and making disciples of all nations, for the glory of God.

Dear friend, we join you in lifting up the nations to our Father in heaven. We stand in awe of His sovereignty, knowing that He has determined the times and boundaries of every nation. We're reminded of the psalmist's words, "He makes nations great, and he destroys them; he enlarges nations, and leads them away" (Psalm 9:17, NIV). Let's trust in His goodness and wisdom, even in the face of evil's rising tide.

We're interceding for the leaders of these nations, asking our Father to restrain the evil one and expose his schemes. Let's pray for a spirit of revelation to guide them, and for a spirit of wisdom and understanding to govern them (Isaiah 11:2). We're also asking for a spirit of repentance to fall upon them, turning their hearts towards righteousness.

We're binding the spirit of retaliation that seeks to divide and destroy. Instead, we're asking for a spirit of unity and peace to prevail. We're praying for God's mercy and grace to be poured out on these nations, turning their hearts towards Him.

We're confessing our own sins and the sins of our nations, asking for forgiveness and cleansing. We're also praying for a spirit of humility and brokenness, that we may be a people who truly seek God's face.

We're believing for a great awakening in these nations, a turning to God that will bring about healing and restoration. We're praying for the Church to arise as a bright light in the darkness, shining the love and hope of Jesus Christ.

Let's continue to stand in the gap, lifting up these nations to our Father in heaven. Let's trust in His love, His power, and His faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
