Pray for our Nation

Pray for Our Nation

"Heavenly Father, We come again today. We come in the Name of Jesus — not our name, not our power, not our holiness, not even our goodness —but we come in the Name of Jesus, washed in His blood, robed in His righteousness.

We come because You told us to come. You said in Your Holy Word for us to come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain help and grace to help in the time of need. Thank You, Father. We are exhorted in Your Word to pray, to intercede, to supplicate, and to give thanks for ALL who are in authority, that Christians—that believers—everywhere may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

We pray for our leaders—our President, every member of Congress, the Supreme Court, the President’s Cabinet, everyone that is in authority—that divine wisdom and grace will be given unto them. And direction will be given unto them.

We come against the powers of darkness, the forces of evil that would try to dominate and rule in our own nation. We rise up against that darkness. We rise up against those spirits and dispel the darkness. In the Name of Jesus, we command the devil to take his hand OFF of the political scene of our nation. We pray for every politician, everyone that’s in office, that they’ll not be so concerned about politics, that they’ll not be so party conscious, but that they’ll be concerned about our nation as a whole—and above all, put God first.

We come against the powers of darkness, the forces of evil, the demons of hell that would endeavor to dominate the financial scene of our nation. We pray for the economy of our nation.

We pray about the unemployed. We pray that the economy will be turned around, and that we will be prosperous as a whole as a nation to continue to carry the Gospel around the world. We command the devil and all of his cohorts: Take your hand OFF of the financial scene of our nation.

We come against the powers of darkness, the forces of evil that would endeavor to dominate the domestic scene of our nation. We command you, Satan, and all of your cohorts: Take your hand OFF the domestic scene of our nation. May there be peace. May there be tranquility. May there be understanding from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border. In Alaska and Hawaii.

We sweep the air clean from demons - powers of evil that would hinder, that would dominate. In the Name of Jesus! We come against all forces that are wrong. And, Father, we pray with our understanding as best we know how. We’re instructed to do so. Yet we sense in our spirit that our spirits have not prayed as they would like. We remember that Paul said that if I pray in an unknown tongue, MY spirit prayeth, MY spirit, by the Holy Spirit within me prayeth. So the Great, Mighty Spirit of God dwells in us. He is our Helper. He is our Counselor, our Advocate. He is our Intercessor. He is our Standby. He will help us.

We trust Him to help us pray in this area and about our nation, and the leaders, and all that are in authority. Help us to pray as we ought to pray, and about things that we don’t even know to pray concerning the upcoming election. We take authority over every stronghold that would endeavor to hinder the process of the right person being elected to lead our country. We boldly proclaim that Your will shall be accomplished.

He will give us utterance. And we will pray and intercede and give thanks in the Spirit."

Kenneth E. Hagin prayed the above at a prayer meeting held on the Rhema Campus January 31, 1983.

Amen to that powerful prayer, in Jesus Name, Amen.

They were to carry on their shoulders the holy things, for which they were responsible. Numbers 7:9

We really needed to hear from God. Having been asked to foster two young children as an emergency measure just for 3 months, a decision had to be made about their future. With three older children of our own, becoming foster parents to preschoolers didn't seem to fit with our life plan and having our family almost double in size had been hard work. Our book of daily readings by the veteran missionary Amy Carmichael directed us to some unfamiliar verses in Numbers 7.

"I wonder how the Kohathites felt?" Amy wrote. "All the other priests had ox-carts to carry their parts of the tabernacle through the desert. But the sons of Kohath had to trudge along the rocky tracks and through the burning sand, with the 'holy things for which they were responsible' on their shoulders. Did they ever grumble inwardly, feeling that the other priests had an easier task? Perhaps! But God knows that some things are too precious to be carried on ox-carts and then He asks us to carry them on our shoulders."

My husband and I knew this was our answer. We had often thought of sponsoring a child from an undeveloped country, but we hadn't done so. That would have been easier, much like the ox-cart. Now we had two needy children in our own home to carry "on our shoulders" because they were so precious to Him.

God has different plans for each of us. We might feel that others have an easier assignment, or a more glamorous role to play. But if our loving Father has handpicked us for our task, who are we to whisper, "I can't do this"?

God uses ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary plans.

INSIGHT:

When we read the books of Leviticus and Numbers, we may wonder why so much detail is given about laws, the construction of the tabernacle, and the provisions for the "holy things." It may seem unimportant for our understanding of the text. Much detail is also recorded about the garden of Eden in Genesis and the New Jerusalem in Revelation. The details capture the beauty of what was required for God to dwell with His people. J.R. Hudberg
