[HiTech RedNeck]

Without personal commitment to the Lord, such prayers will at best do nothing, and at worst could backfire on the ones offering them. (The tenor of the bible is to make prayers FOR... not against, FOR... kings.)

When you become concerned with how bad your own heart is more than with how bad other hearts are, then you will be in a place to be leading the repentance that is needed to usher in a new blessing. Otherwise you will be a busybody bringing disrepute on the Lord.

[Yosemitest]

Remember:

" Verily I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall BIND on earth
SHALL BE BOUND in heaven:
and whatsoever ye shall LOOSE on earth
SHALL BE LOOSED in heaven. "

So be careful of what you forgive, and ~ of what you "BIND" .

And also remember:

" ... seeing ye are dull of hearing.
For when for the time YE OUGHT TO BE teachers,
YE HAVE NEED THAT ONE TEACH YOU AGAIN
which be the first principles of the oracles of God;
and ARE BECOME SUCH AS HAVE NEED OF MILK,
AND NOT STRONG MEAT.
For EVERY ONE THAT USETH MILK IS UNSKILFUL IN THE WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
for he is a babe.
But STRONG MEAT BELONGETH TO THEM THAT ARE OF FULL AGE,
even those who
by reason of use
have their senses exercised TO DISCERN
BOTH GOOD AND EVIL. "
