Abba Father, You have told us that we do not fight against flesh and blood, but against spiritual powers in the heavenlies. LORD, the enemy is wanting to prevent Your people from living a godly and peaceful life here. He wants to prevent us from worshipping You. He wants to stop our testimony to others of the hope that is within us. He wants to pervert our children and tempt them over to darkness. LORD, the enemy is attempting to remove all righteousness, justice, and mercy in our nations. He has sent people who follow him into our governments, schools, and businesses in order to deny justice and spread unrighteousness. We need Your help LORD. We humbly ask for it.
Father, I pray for those who have been manipulated to think that they are doing good, may You remove the blinders from their eyes and show them truth. Have mercy on them and deliver them from the evil one, and draw them to Your beloved Son. Raise us up more laborers because the harvest is ripe, yet the laborers are few. Grant us boldness and confidence to proclaim Your truth, and deliver us from the hands of those who want to stop us.
LORD, You have told us that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. You have told us that Your word shall not return to You void. You have told us that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Your church. JESUS has already won this battle, and we PRAISE you for it!
Father, for those who refuse to repent and continue in their wicked ways, may they eat the fruit of it. May the traps which the wicked have set for the innocent fail, may the wicked's own feet enter those traps instead, and may the innocent go free.
LORD, raise us up leaders who will do righteousness, justice, and mercy in these lands, for it is You who raises up leaders and takes them down, it is You who raises up nations and takes them down. Make a way for us to continue to tell others the good news. Make a way for us to live peaceful and godly lives in this land. Help us to know what to say and do in order to spread the gospel to the four corners of the earth. You have told us that the restrainer is here until the time of Jacob's trouble. May You restrain the evil intentions that have been spreading across this earth. Rebuke satan! You have told us to SUBMIT to God, RESIST the devil, and he will FLEE. LORD, we submit to Your authority and ask for Your help so that the devil will flee. You are the LORD of hosts, the Maker of all things. Nothing is impossible with God. God is with those who are in Christ Jesus, just as You were with Joseph in Egypt.
We choose to walk by faith, and not by sight, for it is impossible to please You without faith. We seek shelter under Your wings. We know and understand Your name. We call upon YOUR NAME in times of trouble. Help us LORD, and guide our steps for we are weary of our groaning at the things we see being done. May Your peace come to Jerusalem. In the name of JESUS. Amen
