Almighty, God, our Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, redeemed by His blood, committed to serve and follow Him. We come to you as Your believing people, Your representatives in this earth, the agents of Your government in the earth.
We lift up to You this nation of ours, the United States. We thank You for the many centuries of special grace and mercy that You’ve granted to this nation. We thank You for the godly seeds that have been sown over the centuries by men of faith who have followed in Your footsteps, labored, sacrificed, prayed and given for Your kingdom. Lord, we do not desire that these godly seeds shall develop into a harvest that shall be reaped by the enemy. But we ask You to extend Your grace and mercy to this nation. We ask You to send a might visitation of the Holy Spirit that will overthrow the strongholds of Satan and uplift and glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We ask You for a mighty floodtide of spiritual revival that will sweep across this nation, casting down everything that opposes itself against the knowledge of God. We commit to You now specifically the forthcoming elections, with all the political processes involved. We take our stand in Jesus’ name against every satanic principality and power that would seek to exercise control in these elections. We break their power, we release the elective and the governmental processes from their control, and we put them in Your hand. We pray that You will guide and overrule – that You will raise up the men and the women of Your choice, and that You will put down those who will oppose and stand against Your purposes. We ask You to bring Your purposes to fulfillment in this nation.
Lord, we do believe that you have a special destiny for the United States-and we pray that nothing that Satan will do will be able to hinder that destiny. We also pray for the relationship of the United States to Israel-that You will keep Your hand upon that relationship. Please guide and overrule so that this nation will not turn against Israel or take its stand amongst the enemies of Israel, but that You will graciously use this nation continually to support and uphold Your people, Israel, and their State.
Lord, we ask all these things, believing them to be Your will, believing them to be for Your glory, in the precious all-prevailing name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Savior. Amen.
