Father, thank You for sending forth Your commandments to the earth; Your Word runs very swiftly throughout America and continues to grow and spread. We seek request the peace and welfare of our country in which You have caused us to live. We pray to You for the welfare of this great country and do our part by getting involved in it. We will not let false prophets and diviners who are in our midst deceive us; we pay no attention and attach no significance to our dreams nor to theirs. Destroy their evil schemes, O Lord; confuse their tongues, for we have seen violence and strife throughout the states.
We ask You to overwhelm the U.S. and open the eyes of the people, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may thus receive forgiveness and release from their sins and a place and portion among those who are consecrated and purified by faith in Jesus. We pray for deliverance and salvation for those who are following the course and fashion of this world—who are under the sway of this present age—following the prince of the power of the air. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
You see the regional and cultural strongholds that would hinder the Gospel. You have told us to declare Your works. So we say boldly that the god of this world who blinds the unbelievers’ minds, so that they should not discern the truth, is a defeated foe.
We declare on the authority of Your Word that You have disarmed the powers and authorities; You made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the Cross.
In the name of Jesus, we stand victorious over the principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.
We ask you to sweep through our nation and convince the people and bring conviction about sin and righteousness—uprightness of heart and right standing with God—and about judgment. By the blessing of the influence of the upright and God's favor, we hope for deliverance. Amen. (Based on “Prayers That Avail Much”)
