NATIONAL & WORLD LEADERS NEED OUR PRAYERS, 1 Tim 2:1-2, The New Testament Urges Prayer for ALL in Authority... "I exhort first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession & givings of thanks, be made for all people: for kings and all in authority; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence." Firstly, we thank God for the World's leaders and authorities He has placed over our lives, Rom 13:1-2, as this is an International Prayer Site. We pray for intelligence, character and protection of the President, Vice President, and all cabinet members, as well as godly wisdom and guidance for them. We ask that God would set a guard over their mouths, as Psalm 141:3 says, and grant them the tongue of the wise, as Proverbs 15:2 tells us. We pray that they would be surrounded by godly counsel and that their leadership would promote unity and righteousness and not have any bitterness or rivalry. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. May leaders "do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God," Micah 6:8.
UNITY AMONG GODLY NATIONS... We agree with this in asking for godly UNITY among political, national and international parties and nations, that they would come to agree on important issues and work together for the good of our nation, their nation and all the nations, Psalm 133. We "Ask of Thee and You will Give The NATIONS as YOUR INHERITANCE, and The UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH as YOUR POSSESSION, Ps 2:8. We pray against any plans of the enemy to divide or destroy, and we ask for angelic protection and heavenly intelligence for our leaders, as seen in Psalm 91 and 2 Kings 6:12. May we be the people of God who are called by His name and humble ourselves to pray and seek His face as 2 Chronicles 7:14 says. We pray for wisdom in the worldly leaders and protection of our leaders and civilians worldwide, for the eradication of evil in elections, Isaiah 33:15, and for the silencing of false prophets and news, Titus 1:11. I ask we not back down, for as Daniel was told, “Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, "for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them,' Dan 10:12. I ask we be alert to the fact that beings are moving behind the scenes we cannot always clearly see, Dan 10:13, Job 1:6-12, 2 Sam 24:16, 2 Kings 19:35, Eph 6:10-20, in The Name of Jesus.
OUR OWN REGIONS... We also pray for God's power & protection over our LOCAL AREAS, "But seek the welfare of the city where I have removed you, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare, peace and prosperity you will find yours as well," Jer 29:7. May The Holy Spirit convict our neighbors, the local students, teachers, workers that come and go and even the fishermen, basketball players, parents, pastors, law enforcement and local leaders of righteousness, sin and judgement to come, John 16:8. Father, draw them to Your Son, John 6:44. Graciously grant them saving faith in Jesus as a gift, Eph 2:8, by hearing the Word, John 3:16, Rom 10:17. Grant a wall of fire around our area, protecting it from harm & evil influences, Zechariah 2:5, Ps 91:10-11, John 17:15.
PERSECUTED CHURCH... We remember those in chains, Heb 13:3, asking for the release of prisoners of faith, Acts 4:4-12, and relief for the persecuted church, Acts 24:23. Strengthen Spiritual leaders to pray for their and the world's secular and spiritual leadership, especially in the harsh and restricted regions, IJN
We pray for the PEACE of JERUSALEM, Ps 122:3, and all descendants of Abraham, Gen 12:3, Zech 2:5.
Finally, we say all these things are possible in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father and it is his name by which we will saved as the Bible says in John 14:13 and John 14:6. May our prayers be aligned with God's will, and may His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven, Matt 6:10. We Thank and Praise You Father God for All This in advance, Mark 11:23-24, Amen, 2 Cor 1:20, in Jesus' Name, John 14:13-14.
