God Rules Nations, Restrains Evil, Dan 10:13, Guides & Saves Leaders, 1 Tim 2:1-4, Honest Elections, Prov 11:1, 1Peace Jerusalem, Ps 133:1-3...

Father, Restrain Evil, We Pray FOR ALL in Authority, 1 Tim 2:1-4, SALVATION in Jesus' Name... 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. Also, "A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight," Prov 11:1...

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.

 

[Articles]

We join with you in this holy burden and agree together before the throne for the nations, for those in authority, for honest dealings, and for the salvation of Israel and peace in Jerusalem.

We love how you have anchored this prayer in the sovereignty of God. We are reminded that 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, Acts 17:26, and that behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance, Isa 40:15. He rules in the affairs of men and no plan of the enemy can stand against His purpose, for He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings, Dan 2:21, and the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Dan 4:17.

We agree with you that we are to make petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings for all men, for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth, 1 Tim 2:1-4. This is our calling as a royal priesthood and holy nation, 1 Pet 2:9, to stand in the gap as you have cited from Dan 9:20 and to not be ignorant of the devil's schemes, 2 Cor 2:11, for our adversary is a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him, John 8:44.

We also agree for integrity in our elections and in all dealings among the nations, for a false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight, Prov 11:1. We pray that every dishonest weight and every scheme to steal, subvert or deceive would be exposed and restrained, and that righteousness and justice would be the foundation of governance. We pray as you have asked that the Lord would restrain retaliation and restrain the evil one, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, and we know the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood the messenger twenty-one days, but Michael came to help, Dan 10:13. We ask the Lord to loose His warring angels to hinder evil counsels and to reveal hidden plans as He did when Elisha told the king of Israel the words that the king of Syria spoke in his bedroom, 2 Kings 6:12.

We pray for the peace of Jerusalem, Ps 122:6, and we echo the heart of Paul when he said brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved, Rom 10:1. We long to see Israel recognize Jesus as Messiah, for there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. We thank you that you have lifted this prayer in the name of Jesus, for we have confidence that through Him we have access to the Father, and that He ever lives to make intercession for us, Heb 7:25.

So together we pray, Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we come before Your throne of grace. You are sovereign over every nation and every leader. We ask You to restrain evil in these unruly regions that weigh so heavily on our hearts. Intercept and spoil every plan that is not of You, frustrate every counsel of retaliation and violence, and back the evil one away from leaders and strategists and military commanders. Deliver our own country and our leaders from temptation and from evil, Matt 6:13, and give them wisdom, courage and fear of the Lord to do justice and love mercy. Let praise arise in Your church and in the nations, for You inhabit the praises of Your people and You use worship to put the enemy to flight as You did when an evil spirit left Saul when David played, 1 Sam 16:23. Make Your Church a faithful helpmeet that imitates You, Eph 5:1, abiding in Christ and bearing fruit through prayer, John 15:7.

We confess our sins and the sins of our nation before You, asking for mercy and for a great awakening. Pour out Your Spirit that many would be saved, especially among those in authority and among Your chosen people Israel. Establish honest scales in our elections and in our courts, let truth prevail, and let peace and unity dwell among Your people, for how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity, Ps 133:1. We thank You that You have given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, Luke 10:19, and we rejoice most of all that our names are written in heaven, Luke 10:20. We trust You to complete what You have begun, for You saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven, Luke 10:18, and we look for the day when he will be bound with a great chain, Rev 20:2. Until then, keep us watchful in prayer, faithful in intercession, and bold to proclaim that Jesus of Nazareth went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him, Acts 10:38. We ask all this in the saving and sovereign name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

We hear the weight you are carrying for so many nations and leaders right now, and we thank God for your willingness to stand in the gap. It is a holy burden to pray for rulers to be guided, for evil to be restrained, for truth in elections and peace for Jerusalem and for Israel to know salvation, and we join you in lifting each of those concerns to the Father who truly rules over all.

When the needs feel so large and unruly, it can help to narrow our focus so prayer stays steady rather than exhausting. Perhaps choose one or two of the places or leaders most on your heart this week and bring them before the Lord each day, trusting Him to hear and to act according to His perfect will and timing, and then in time lift the next ones.

Father, we come to You in Jesus' name and thank You that You are sovereign over every nation and boundary. We ask You to restrain evil, to guide those in authority toward wisdom and honesty, to protect the vulnerable, and to draw many to salvation in Christ. Give us perseverance in prayer and peace as we trust You. In Jesus' name, amen.

There is a holy wisdom in the burden you have laid before the throne, for you have asked according to the will of God who would have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. We join you in this intercession, for the secret springs that move the puppets of earth, for kings and princes are often little more than that, are the prayers of God's believing people.

We acknowledge with you that the Lord is Sovereign. He hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined their appointed times and the exact boundaries of their habitation. Surely the nations are as a drop in a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance. He ruleth over all, He restraineth evil, and He easeth Him of His adversaries when He taketh up sword and buckler. As Daniel was withstood by the prince of the kingdom of Persia, so we know there are spiritual wickednesses in high places, and we pray as you have prayed that the Lord would restrain the evil one, bind the spirit of retaliation, and spoil every plan that is not conformable to His exact will. We pray that He would deliver our leaders and the leaders of unruly nations not into temptation, but deliver them from evil, for we are not ignorant of the devices of him who was a murderer from the beginning and a liar by nature.

We pray for all that are in authority, that God would guide them and, above all, save them. For there is one way of salvation for all, and He hath concluded all in unbelief that He might have mercy upon all. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, saith the Lord. No works of our own, no rank nor wisdom nor pomp of man can save. We must look to Christ alone, for wherever we see Jesus we see God's salvation. His active obedience renders recompense for our breaches of the law, His blood is a real atonement, and His presence on the throne is the presence of God's salvation for His people. If we have laid hold of the truth of God's salvation we believe in a real fall, real sin, and therefore we rejoice in a real pardon through Him who ever liveth to make intercession for us. To this Christ we point every ruler and every nation, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.

We pray also for honest weights and honest elections, for a false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight. May the Lord who loveth righteousness cause truth and equity to prevail, and may every deceitful way be confounded.

We pray for the salvation of Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem. We long to see God's Israel dwell in safety alone, supplied from the fountain of Jacob with corn and wine, yet we know that true peace cometh only by faith in the Son of God. The just shall live by faith, and whether Jew or Gentile, there is no peace apart from looking unto Jesus. May the Lord fetch His own out as He fetched Israel like a flock out of Egypt, and guide them in the wilderness till they come to the promised rest.

Let us not restrain prayer, but imitate our great Intercessor within the veil. Intercessory prayer is communion with Christ, who made intercession for the transgressors. He who loves his fellow men enough to plead for them hath risen out of narrow dread about himself into the broader region of care for his brother's soul. Therefore we will wait for the Lord, and we will not cease to make supplication for the nations, for the church which is to be His helpmeet, and for all who are oppressed by the devil, that they may be healed and delivered as Peter testified that Jesus went about doing good.

May the Lord hear, may He forgive, and may He heal our land, and may every eye be turned to Christ, who is God's salvation from the ends of the earth to the rising and going down of the same sun. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
