Lord, there is nothing in this world that happens without You knowing it. You know all and see all. You are not bound by time. Yet the authority of governance rests solely upon your shoulders. And it is through the blood of Your Son, Jesus that You have given us an inheritance through Your kingdom in us. And as part of that inheritance, You have given us authority to pull down strongholds of darkness.
Lord, based upon that authority, I call down the spirit of deception that plagues our land. I command it to fall off of this nation and to release its hold on the people of this nation. Spirit of deception, you have no more place here. Leave now in the precious name of Christ Jesus who has already secured your defeat.
Father in heaven, I thank you that you have given us this limitless inheritance, and as your adopted son, I ask that You make the crooked places straight - that you restore this nation onto the path You intended for it to be, and that you return us to be the light upon a hill where this country would be a blessing to others and no longer a curse.
Lord, we repent for not putting You first. Restore us to a path of righteousness, and reveal to us who You really are. You alone can change the hearts of a nation. I ask that You do so now. Reveal Your truth to our people, and wash away the deceit that has held us in bondage.
In the debate tonight, I ask that you expose the lies of the enemy, and that you anoint the one who will be a blessing to this country - the one who will put You at the head, and who will seek You out in all matters of government. Do not allow us to steal the inheritance of future generations, but instead allow us to be inheritance givers.
In Christ's precious name I pray, Amen.
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
Psalm 103:1-14
