City, State and National Leaders, No. 3

*** That our city, state and national leaders would be presented with the Gospel and loving Christian witness.

Romans 10:14
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Truly, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most wonderful reality on this earth. Our leaders, locally, across the State and nationally, are in incredible need. And they may not even know it. The Gospel of Christ— Freedom from sin and peace from the Prince of Peace.

Raise up men and women to demonstrate the Gospel in many dimensions. May every leader be presented the Gospel from multiple directions. Truly, may it be so poignant, everywhere they turn, that it is undeniable. Amen!

May these leaders hear Your Gift of Salvation. Please raise up loving preachers who demonstrate the Gospel in their lives, people who are trustworthy and credible to our leaders at every level. Father, fill them with Your Holy Spirit to deliver the one message that never gets old:

Jesus Christ has died in our place to pay the price for our sins—that we might have life everlasting and enjoy You in all eternity. Father, please raise up these people to preach the Gospel. And please open the hearts and minds of theses leaders to hear and accept Christ as Savior.

Father, You have sent Your Word. We have it! It is so readily available here in this country. Thank You! But truly it is of no value to our leaders if they don't access it. Father, I ask for the availability of the Gospel to every leader in the United States. Please make a Bible be available to them in their homes and in their offices. And then, grant them an undeniable and urgent desire to open Your Word and read it—specifically to find Your wisdom and purpose for them—and to direct them in the decisions that they make as leaders and servants of the people in this nation.

There are other ways they can "see" Your Truth, Your Salvation, Your path...and that is through the lives of others who profess faith in Christ and seek the spirit-filled life. Oh, please, raise up an army of people who live life in a manner that brings credibility to the Gospel. May this testimony be so obvious. Father, I ask it. Raise up Your army and may we say, "Send me."

Father, touch the lives of all our leaders with a true desire to serve and be honorable before You. Bring true Christian witness and testimony to them and bind them in the fellowship fo the Holy Spirit...that this nation can be changed.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

City, State and National Leaders, No. 2

***That our city, state and national leaders would be presented with the Gospel and loving Christian witness.

Romans 10:14
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
You are the Go of mercy and of grace. You are the God who has upheld this nation from its inception and You have established tremendous riches that have blessed us since its birth. Thank You.

We have become a proud nation and we have turned from You. We have become proud of our accomplishments and our forsaken Your Guidance. We have become a nation that believes we can rule ourselves without You. Forgive us for forgetting Your mighty works. Forgive us for turning from bounty of our past and for believing that we are able and capable of managing and handling our affairs without Your guidance.

Forgive us, that believe in You, when we have not lifted up prayers for our leaders. Forgive us when we have not delivered a testimony and loving Christian witness. Truly, we have the government that we deserve. Hep us to see that You are the True and Living God and revitalize our eagerness to be Your witness.

Raise up those who would seek to have a voice to those leaders in city, state and national offices. Fill them with words that would move the hearts of these leaders! May these spokespersons find open hearts, willing minds, and people who don't have answers and are looking for them. Work within the hearts of these leaders to realize that they don't know how to lead or to govern.

May our leaders find themselves inept and impotent to do the job that they have agreed to do....and place a longing within them to do a good job. Father, please show them their need for You, for Your guidance, and for Your mercy. At such time, may there be a god-chosen witness in their presence.

Father, please place an urgency within the hearts of Your faithful to pray for our leaders. May church leaders rise up and visit civic leaders. Give Your people influence and open their eyes to realize they can make a difference. Raise up congregants who have influence to bring together teams of prayer warriors to pray intentionally for their civic, state and our national leaders. Pour out prayers into these prayer warriors...prayers that would move Your heart, that You would open the hearts of our leadership....prayers that would energize, change lives, and redirect this nation to serve You once again.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

That our leaders would be prepared to give and account to Almighty God

***That our leaders would be prepared to give an account to Almighty God

Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your Word that so clearly outlines that our days are numbered. We know this from history. Our bodies will all die. Yet, Your Word also indicates that we are more than just our body; we are soul and spirit as well.

1 Thessalonians 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You tell us that after our body dies, we will be held accountable to You, our Maker. How can we ever stand before Your as we are? We are all sinners. Of our own accord, we cannot possibly justify ourselves, our actions, our thoughts.

Father, leaders have a particularly difficult time. They are in the spotlight. Their decisions are often public. The ramifications of their actions affect those they lead and oftentimes, for years to come. They need Your help. They need insight. They need to hold dear and close, that they will stand before You.

Yet, You did not leave leaders without guidance. They do not have to make decisions alone. You have given us wise counsel, and You have offered Your wisdom, if we will ask.

Proverbs 24:6
For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counselors there is safety.

James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Father, help us to ask. Give our leaders and insatiable desire to seek You and ask for wisdom in the decisions that they make. Give them an ear to clearly hear Your voice. Touch their mind so that their hearing can lead to understanding. And grant them strength to follow through, that they may stand blamelessly before You.

Truly, we are all sinners. So there is no way we that any of us can stand blameless before You at the time of our judgement. But You have made a way. You have given us Jesus Christ, Who has died for our sins and and offered salvation to each of us, if we will admit our sin to You and receive Your Gift. How can our leaders lead, without access to Your wisdom? How can they access Your wisdom without first admitting their need?

Father, cherish our leaders. Give them questions to ask You! Give them wise counsel. Grant them discernment to choose wisely. Compel them to read Your Word, to find relationship with You and to seek You so that they may lead in such a way that they are ready to give account at the time of their judgement.

Help us all, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

For the US, Leaders, and those in authority, No. 2

***That the body of Christ in America would fervently pray for our nation and its leaders.

1 Timothy 2:1-2
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Our lives here in America are no longer peaceful. This nation seems to be crumbling at every turn. Our leadership disparage each other. There is no sense of respect (self-respect or otherwise) or social appropriateness. Forgive us for not praying more for our nation. Forgive us for turning from You. But I boldly come before You and ask You to fill us with understanding and prayers for the men and women who lead in this nation, that by Your Spirit, we may return to You.

For our leaders, I ask that Your Holy Spirit open their eyes to see clearly the cause and effect that has brought about our current condition. Surely, the election can not solve our problems. We need Christ and Christ crucified.

Our leaders face so many challenges as we witness civil unrest, frustration, discrimination from so many fronts. The economic picture and forecast is bleak as our national debt has surpassed our ability to be honorable to our creditors. We are at great risk. Corruption and greed seems to have spread to the every sector, every crevice of our society. Our minds and hearts are in disarray as we try to sort out our lives, yes, even our prayers.

May the Body of Christ step up! Give us words from Your Spirit to speak to those who are unfairly accused, unfairly targeted, and where justice has alluded their lives. Cause those in leadership to have the words to say that would turn us towards each other rather than against each other.

You are unity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Teach us how to bring unity of thought and mind to our daily situations and cause us to be identified as leaders. Show our leaders how to lead through their thoughts, words, and actions. May we be a nation of righteous action once again.

Father, is the Body of Christ depleted? Are we without hope? Uplift our spirits with the hope that would cause us to move, to pray, to become active in our neighborhoods, our churches, our work places. Fill our hearts with prayers for those who lead: from the retail manager to the President of the United States.

Help us to engage in prayer that You may build Your testimony to us and to this nation that if we would turn to You, there is hope. Fill our leadership with the humility and the courage to turn to You. Show them their time of great and unprecedented need, and may it be so overwhelming that they can determine that only You, only the true and living God can help us. ...and may they run to You to find Your grace, Your mercy, Your sacrifice for them. May they come to the point where they know that You will show them the path through this mess which we have brought upon ourselves.

May there be a movement to You. May there be an outpouring of prayer and supplication before Your throne. Move the Body of Christ as is appropriate to the situation and strengthen us to move swiftly at the unction of Your Spirit. Capture us to hear Your voice. Sensitize our spirits to know Your Spirit and be committed to following quickly and with stealth.

With You all things are possible. Awaken the Body of Christ. Help us be willing to get in spiritual shape to serve You effectively; not in our own strength, but in Yours.

Matthew 19:26 (KJV)
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Raise up Your army of prayer warriors for our leaders, that, even in the moment, we may up gird and support them to make decisions that align with Your Word and Your will. May we be found honorable in the day of Your coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

City, State and National Leaders, No. 1

***That our city, state and national leaders would be presented with the Gospel and loving Christian witness.

Romans 10:14
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”

Please pray with me:

Father in heaven,
Gracious and glorious are You, the God of the universe. You are ever present, all knowing, and all powerful. You hold our existence. Father, Your Word tells that the battle is not against flesh and blood.

Ephesians 6:12
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

May believers confess and repent of our failure to cover these officials in prayer. May we take ownership that You have given us the tools to fight for right and we have failed to use them to ensure the government of our land is protected. Forgive us. Raise us up in prayer and encourage us. Flood our minds daily with prayers for these officials. And at every level of government, may we surround them with Your witness that the Gospel is true and that You, our loving God, will hear our prayers. Encourage and strengthen us for this battle.

Our government leaders are all under attack. The enemy, Satan, wants the power and control that these servants wield from their offices. Protect them from the thoughts and motivations that the enemy would put in their minds. May the filth of these enticements be a disgusting taste in the minds of these leaders. Father, when they make decisions, fill their mind with the goodness of Your direction. May they see a better way. And then, grant them the strength to do the right thing.

Please find ways to demonstrate to them that You are Truth, that You are the self-existent, ever-present, all knowing God and they will stand before You for every thought, word and action that they have, speak or take. Strike down self-serving motivations! May this change and this strength within them cause them to wonder. As they see other officials at every level of government making better decisions, may they wonder. May they question their thoughts and decisions and desire a better way…Your way.

Grant these men and women an insatiable hunger and thirst to do “right” …may it startle them, may it perplex their mind and open their heart. And in that moment of openness may there be Your Word, Your Gospel, Your Love. Send an experience of Your presence to them in a way that they may believe. Would it be a loving testimony of a Christian witness? Would it be multiple experiences? Then pile them on!

Father, have mercy. These people are under such attack. Raise up an army of believers who will plead Your Word and Your protection over these public servants. May they quickly become servants of the Most High God. Father, use these people to change our land. Show us this path.

In Jesus’ Name.

For God-fearing, Accountable Leaders of Action, No. 1

***That our leaders would be god-fearing and recognize that they are accountable to Him for each decision and act.

Proverbs 9:10
10“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
I bow humbly before You, grateful for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that I may come before You. I don’t have any merit of my own. I am a sinner. Even when I have been covered by the blood of Christ, I have not prayed for our leaders and nation as I should. I know that You commanded me to do so, but I have not made it a habit. Forgive me and show me the path to repent—to do my part.

You have mandated that all of us, every person, will be held accountable for his or her actions and decisions. We will even be held accountable for our very thoughts. Thank You. Fill us with fear that we may live carefully and accountably. Show us how to think and live, that on that day, we can stand with confidence that Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith; that He has brought us through. Fill us with confidence that through Christ, it is possible.

Father, our leaders are barraged by influencers. Grant them discernment to understand the motivations of those with agendas that seek to influence them. Grant them a vision for the ramifications of their actions and decisions for the long-term…not just for those who will be affected by the decisions, but when they stand before You on the day of their accountability.

Fill them with the “Fear of the Lord”…may it cause them to seek a pure heart and to seek Your will. May they not pass up an opportunity to build trust with those who are relying on them. May they put their trust in You so that they may be found trustworthy and realize that You are also relying on them. May they seek and receive the wherewithal to be honorable before You and have the faith that You will provide.

Band those who would be accountable together…that they may set the example of how You want our leaders to act. May they demonstrate to others that You are the True and Living God and Father, prosper them with Your grace, that others would join. Give these people the love of Christ - that is sacrificial. Build up trust in Your path that they walk by the Spirit.

Encourage them in the hard times, and may they encourage each other and know that You have called them to this time and place and that You will be with them through the consequences of their actions. May they act accordingly and be granted the peace that passes all understanding.

In Jesus’ Name.
