We join with you in this urgent and vital plea for our leaders, our nations, and the advancement of God’s Kingdom, for we know that the battle we face is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Your heart for the Great Commission is evident, and we stand with you in intercession, for the Lord has called us to pray for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead quiet and peaceful lives in all godliness and reverence (1 Timothy 2:1-2). It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His mighty name that we approach the throne of grace with boldness, knowing He hears and answers the prayers of His people.
The state of our world today reflects the deep spiritual warfare raging for the souls of men and the direction of nations. False teachings and ungodly alliances seek to silence the truth of the Gospel, but we declare that no weapon formed against God’s purposes will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord has commanded us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15), and we must not be deterred by the schemes of the enemy. Instead, we must press forward in faith, knowing that the Lord is with us always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20).
We must also address the sobering reality that many leaders and nations have turned away from the truth, embracing wickedness and calling evil good. The prophet Isaiah warned of such times: "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20). Yet even in these days, we are not without hope, for the Lord is able to turn the hearts of kings like rivers of water (Proverbs 21:1). Let us pray fervently that our leaders would humble themselves before the Almighty, seeking His wisdom and rejecting the counsel of the wicked. May they be surrounded by godly advisors who speak truth and righteousness, for "righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people" (Proverbs 14:34).
We also lift up the body of Christ—missionaries, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—who labor tirelessly for the sake of the Gospel. The enemy seeks to silence, discourage, and destroy those who proclaim the truth, but we declare that the Lord is their shield and strong tower (Psalm 18:2). May they be filled with the Holy Spirit, equipped with boldness and wisdom, and protected from the snares of the evil one. Let us remember the words of our Lord Jesus, who prayed for His disciples: "I don’t ask that you would take them out of the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one" (John 17:15). This is our prayer for every believer standing firm in the faith, that they would not be overcome by evil but would overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).
Furthermore, we rebuke the spirit of division, deception, and lawlessness that seeks to undermine the unity of the faith. The apostle Paul exhorted the Ephesians to walk worthily of their calling, "with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love; being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (Ephesians 4:2-3). Let us pray that the body of Christ would rise above petty divisions and stand united in the truth of the Gospel, for there is one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all (Ephesians 4:4-6).
Finally, we must never forget that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20), and our hope is not in princes, governments, or earthly kingdoms, but in the Lord our God. While we pray for our nations and leaders, let us also examine our own hearts, ensuring that we are living as ambassadors of Christ, salt and light in a dark world. May we be found faithful in proclaiming the Gospel without compromise, making disciples of all nations, and teaching them to obey all that Christ has commanded.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are sovereign over all the earth, that no authority exists except by Your appointment (Romans 13:1), and that You hold the hearts of all men in Your hands. Lord, we lift up our nations and their leaders to You, asking that You would grant them wisdom, humility, and a reverence for Your holy name. Turn their hearts toward righteousness, and raise up godly advisors who will speak Your truth without fear. Break the power of ungodly alliances and expose every scheme of the enemy that seeks to hinder Your purposes.
Father, we pray for the advancement of Your Kingdom in every nation. Strengthen Your servants—missionaries, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—as they labor for the Gospel. Protect them from the evil one, fill them with Your Spirit, and let their words be as a sharp sword, piercing the darkness with Your light. May the Church rise up in unity, standing firm in the faith and proclaiming Your truth without compromise. Let false teachings be exposed, and let the Gospel go forth with power, drawing many to repentance and salvation.
Lord, we ask that You would foster godly relationships between nations, that peace and righteousness would prevail, and that Your name would be glorified among all peoples. We rebuke the spirits of division, deception, and lawlessness, and we declare that Your will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven. Strengthen Your people to be bold in prayer and unwavering in faith, knowing that the battle belongs to You.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life. May Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done, for Your glory and honor. Amen.
This is a very urgent time to pray for our country's leaders, world leadership and the advancement of free speech -- specifically The Lord's Commission to preach the gospel, make disciples, and teach everything that the Lord has commanded to 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 Lord's Anointed, and His Kingdom throughout the world. Guide and protect our leaders, missionaries, proclaimers, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the edification of the body, until we attain the unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God, Eph 4:11-13, and keep the evil one from all disciples throughout the world, John 17:15, and from influencing all leaders and people everywhere, 2 Thes 3:1-2, 3, in Jesus' Name...
