Nat'l+World Leaders, 1Tim 2:1-2, ALL in Authority; NATIONS as Christ's, Ps 2:8; Those in Chains, Heb 13:3; Beautiful Land, Dan 11:41; House of Prayer

[Nochaeld]

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.
"It is written, 'My House SHALL be called a House of Prayer for ALL NATIONS ~ Jesus You said quoting the inspired Scripture of Isaiah 56:7 in Matt 21:13, Mark 11:17, Luke 19:46. We do not take Your desire for a bride that prays for Nations to become a spiritual house, 1 Pet 2:5, Heb 3:6, 1 Cor 3:16, Isa 2:2., Dan 7:14, that welcomes all Nations and Christ teaches all Nations as Prophet, Deut 18:15, Acts 3:22-23, Acts 7:37, as Priest, Zech 6:13, Heb 8:1, and King over All The Nations of the Earth, Matt 28:18-19, Matt 28:20, Rev 5:9, Rev 7:9,

Finally, we say all these things are Your will -- which You hear -- and when You hear -- we have, 1 John 5:14-15. We Thank and Praise You Father God for All This in advance, Mark 11:23-24, through Jesus our Amen, 2 Cor 1:20, in Jesus' Name, John 14:13-14.

We join together in agreement with your heartfelt and comprehensive prayers for our leaders, nations, and the body of Christ worldwide. Your devotion to interceding for those in authority, the persecuted church, and the peace of Jerusalem reflects the heart of God, who calls us to pray for all people, especially those in positions of leadership. We are encouraged by your boldness in standing in the gap, as Scripture commands, and we lift our voices with yours in unity, knowing that our prayers are powerful and effective when aligned with God’s will.

The apostle Paul’s exhortation in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 is clear: *"I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all people: for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."* This is not merely a suggestion but a divine mandate for the church. We are to pray for our leaders—not because they are inherently worthy, but because God has ordained authority for His purposes, and our prayers can turn hearts toward righteousness and wisdom. As Romans 13:1 reminds us, *"There is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are ordained by God."* Even when leaders act unjustly or oppose godly values, we are called to pray for their repentance, salvation, and alignment with God’s will. We must never forget that God is sovereign over the rise and fall of kings and nations, as seen in Daniel 2:21: *"He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings."*

Your prayer for unity among nations is vital, for division is a tool of the enemy. Psalm 133:1 declares, *"See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!"* Yet true unity can only be found in Christ, not in political alliances or human wisdom. We must pray that leaders would seek God’s wisdom above all else, for *"the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy"* (James 3:17). We also recognize the spiritual warfare at play, as you’ve noted from Daniel 10 and Ephesians 6. The battles we see in the natural are often reflections of battles in the spiritual realm. Thus, we must put on the whole armor of God, standing firm in prayer, *"that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil"* (Ephesians 6:11).

We affirm your prayers for the persecuted church, remembering Hebrews 13:3: *"Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body."* The body of Christ is one, and when one part suffers, we all suffer (1 Corinthians 12:26). We cry out for the release of prisoners of faith, for strength for those enduring hardship, and for the Gospel to advance even in the midst of persecution. Jesus Himself promised, *"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven"* (Matthew 5:10). Let us not grow weary in praying for our brothers and sisters who face trials for the sake of the Gospel.

Your prayer for Jerusalem and the descendants of Abraham is rooted in God’s eternal covenant. Genesis 12:3 declares, *"I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you."* Jerusalem is the city of our Great King (Psalm 48:2), and its peace is a priority for God’s people. We pray for the salvation of Israel, that they would recognize Jesus as their Messiah, as Paul writes in Romans 10:1: *"My heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved."* We also pray for the protection of the land and its people, that God would fulfill His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

We are especially stirred by your reminder that God’s house is to be a house of prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:7, Matthew 21:13). The church is not a social club or a political entity but a spiritual house where God’s presence dwells. As 1 Peter 2:5 declares, *"You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."* Our primary purpose is worship, intercession, and the proclamation of the Gospel to all nations. Let us never lose sight of this calling, even as we engage in the affairs of this world.

Finally, we rejoice in your confidence in the power of prayer, rooted in 1 John 5:14-15: *"This is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of him."* This is not a blanket promise for every desire but an assurance that when we pray according to God’s will, He hears and answers. Your faith in Mark 11:23-24 is commendable, but let us always submit our prayers to the Lord’s will, as Jesus did in Gethsemane: *"Nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done"* (Luke 22:42).

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts aligned with Your Word, lifting up our leaders, nations, and the body of Christ worldwide. We thank You for the authority You have established, and we ask that You would grant our leaders wisdom, discernment, and a fear of You. *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the rivers of water. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1). Turn their hearts toward righteousness, justice, and mercy, that they may govern with integrity and humility. Protect them from the schemes of the enemy, and surround them with godly counsel. May they seek Your face in every decision, knowing that *"righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people"* (Proverbs 14:34).

Lord, we pray for unity among nations, not a unity born of compromise but one rooted in Your truth and love. Break down the walls of division, hatred, and strife, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard the hearts and minds of those in authority. We bind the spirits of confusion, deception, and corruption that seek to infiltrate governments and institutions. *"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12). We stand firm in the authority of Jesus’ name, declaring that no weapon formed against Your purposes shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

Father, we intercede for the persecuted church, our brothers and sisters who suffer for the name of Jesus. Strengthen them in their faith, comfort them in their affliction, and deliver them from the hands of the wicked. *"Remember the prisoners, as though you were in prison with them; and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body"* (Hebrews 13:3). Let their testimony be a light in dark places, drawing many to salvation. We pray for the release of those unjustly imprisoned and for the protection of those who risk their lives to share the Gospel.

We lift up Jerusalem and the people of Israel, praying for their salvation and peace. *"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May those who love you prosper. Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces"* (Psalm 122:6-7). Open the eyes of the Jewish people to see Jesus as their Messiah, and let the Gentiles continue to be grafted into the rich root of Your covenant (Romans 11:17). Protect the land from evil and let Your kingdom come in fullness.

Lord, we ask that You would make Your church a house of prayer for all nations. *"Even them I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples"* (Isaiah 56:7). Revive us, O Lord, that we may be a people who seek Your face continually, interceding for the lost, the broken, and the nations. Let Your Spirit move mightily through Your church, that we may be salt and light in a dark world.

We declare these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). It is in His name that we have access to the throne of grace, and it is by His blood that our prayers are made acceptable. *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5). May all glory, honor, and praise be Yours, Father, now and forever. Amen.
