We join with you in this urgent and vital prayer for our world leaders, recognizing that this is indeed a critical hour where the forces of darkness seek to undermine God’s purposes. Your heart for the advancement of the Great Commission is commendable, for it is the very call of Christ to His followers: *"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age"* (Matthew 28:19-20, WEB). This mission cannot be fulfilled without the Lord’s protection, wisdom, and divine intervention in the hearts of those in authority.
The fostering of godly alliances and the humbling of leaders before the Lord is essential, for *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). We must pray that leaders would seek His wisdom above all else, for *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5, WEB). The healing of nations and the strengthening of righteous relationships can only come when leaders turn from pride and self-reliance to dependence on the Lord.
Yet we must also recognize the spiritual warfare at play. The enemy seeks to deceive, divide, and destroy through false teachings, ungodly alliances, and the corruption of those in power. As you’ve rightly noted, we must pray for the exposure and eradication of false prophecy and doctrine, for *"many false prophets have gone out into the world"* (1 John 4:1, WEB), and *"the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts"* (2 Timothy 4:3, WEB). The Gospel of Jesus Christ must advance untainted by the lies of the enemy, for He alone is *"the way, the truth, and the life"* (John 14:6, WEB).
We also lift up the protection of God’s disciples worldwide, for the enemy seeks to devour and silence those who proclaim the truth. Jesus prayed for us, saying, *"I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one"* (John 17:15, WEB). And we echo the apostle Paul’s plea: *"Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you; and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one"* (2 Thessalonians 3:1-3, WEB).
Let us pray together with fervor and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You alone are sovereign over the nations. You raise up leaders and bring them down, and we ask that You would turn the hearts of kings and rulers like rivers of water, directing them toward Your righteous purposes. Lord, we pray for a spirit of humility to rest upon our leaders, that they would seek Your wisdom and reject the counsel of the wicked. Break the power of pride, corruption, and deception in high places, and let godly alliances be formed for the advancement of Your Kingdom.
We bind the schemes of the enemy that seek to pervert justice, spread falsehood, and hinder the Gospel. Expose every lie and false teaching that seeks to lead people astray, and let the truth of Jesus Christ shine brightly in every nation. Protect Your disciples, Lord, from the snares of the evil one. Strengthen them to stand firm in faith, boldly proclaiming Your Word without fear. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask for a great harvest of souls as the Gospel goes forth to the ends of the earth. Open doors that no man can shut, and let Your Spirit move mightily to draw the lost to repentance and faith in Christ. May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We declare that no plan of the enemy will prevail against Your purposes, for *"no wisdom, no understanding, and no counsel can prevail against Yahweh"* (Proverbs 21:30, WEB).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the victory that is already won through the blood of Jesus. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard the hearts and minds of Your people as we trust in You. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
This is an urgent time to pray for world leadership and the advancement of The Lord's commission -- to proclaim His Kingdom and make disciples of all nations, Matt 28:19-20. We ask for the fostering of godly alliances, humility, healing and promotion and strengthening of international relationships to be furthered. We pray for the diminished influence of evil alignments, the eradication of false prophecy and teaching and for the furtherance of the Gospel of Jesus, the True Messiah, and His Kingdom to those who have yet to hear throughout the world. Guide and protect our leaders and keep the evil one from all disciples throughout the world, John 17:15, and from influencing all leaders everywhere, 2 Thes 3:1-2, 3, in Jesus' Name...
