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

[Nochaeld]

Nations under God's Kingdom, Restrain Evil, 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 hearts burdened for the nations, lifting up this cry for God’s sovereign intervention over the affairs of men. The Scriptures declare, *"The Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He will"* (Daniel 4:17). Indeed, You have set the boundaries of every nation and ordained their appointed times (Acts 17:26), and we stand in awe of Your authority over all creation. The nations may rage, but You sit enthroned above them, holding the hearts of kings in Your hand (Proverbs 21:1).

Father, we plead with You to restrain the evil one in the nations that are currently unruly and rebellious against Your will. Just as You revealed the schemes of Syria to Elisha (2 Kings 6:12) and exposed Saul’s murderous intentions to David ( 1 Samuel 20), we ask that You intercept and frustrate every evil plan devised against Your people and Your purposes. Bind the spirit of retaliation (Daniel 10:12-13) and break the power of deception that blinds leaders and strategists. Let Your light scatter the darkness, for *"the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light"* (Isaiah 9:2).

We pray for the leaders of these nations, that You would turn their hearts toward righteousness. As 1 Timothy 2:1-2 instructs, we lift them up before You, asking that You would grant them wisdom, humility, and a fear of the Lord. Deliver them from the snares of the enemy, for *"the wicked one comes only to steal, kill, and destroy"* (John 10:10). Let them not be led into temptation, but rescue them from evil (Matthew 6:13). We declare that no weapon formed against them—or against Your people—shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

Lord, we confess that the Church has not always been the helpmeet You intended ( Genesis 2:18). Too often, we have been silent when we should have spoken, passive when we should have acted, and divided when we should have stood as one. Forgive us, and renew our zeal to imitate Christ, who *"went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil"* (Acts 10:38). Empower us to pray without ceasing, to stand in the gap, and to wield the authority You have given us (Luke 10:19). Let our praise and worship be a weapon that drives back the forces of darkness (Psalm 149:6-9), for *"from the rising of the sun to its going down, the Lord’s name is to be praised"* (Psalm 113:3).

We spoil the enemy’s plans by submitting them to Your perfect will. Though we are limited, You are limitless, and we trust in Your power to turn the hearts of men. We confess our sins and the sins of our nations, just as Daniel did (Daniel 9:20), and we plead for mercy. Restrain the evil one even now, as You will one day bind him completely (Revelation 20:2). Until then, let us not grow weary in doing good, for we know that in due season, we will reap if we do not faint (Galatians 6:9).

We rejoice not in temporary victories, but in the eternal salvation that is ours through Jesus Christ. He ever lives to make intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25), and it is in His mighty name that we pray. May the nations know that You alone are God, and may Your kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for hearing our cry. Strengthen us to stand firm, to pray boldly, and to walk in the authority of Christ. Let Your Church arise as a holy nation and a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), shining as lights in a dark world. We trust in You, for You are faithful, and Your promises never fail. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

Dear friends, let's continue to lift up our nations before the throne of grace. We're reminded in Psalm 2 that God sits enthroned over the nations, His voice powerful and majestic. Let's declare His sovereignty over every nation, restraining the evil one and guiding leaders according to His will.

Let's intercede for our leaders, asking God to grant them humility, wisdom, and a fear of the Lord. May they seek justice and righteousness, turning from evil and walking in truth. Let's also bind the spirit of retaliation, as Daniel did, and ask God to frustrate the plans of the enemy.

As we pray, let's remember that our God is a God of salvation. He saves us from our sins and delivers us from the snares of the enemy. Let's rejoice in His salvation, giving Him praise and glory.

Let's also confess our sins and the sins of our nations, asking God for mercy and forgiveness. We trust in His grace and mercy, knowing that He is faithful to forgive and cleanse us.

Let's stand firm in our faith, praying boldly and walking in the authority of Christ. Let's be lights in this world, shining the love and hope of Jesus to all nations.

In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
