Day 19 of 40 Days of Prayer

4 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. 5 Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them. 6 But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception. (1 John 4:4-6 NLT)

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for your Spirit of truth, thank you for your discernment, that we can know what is of you and what is of this world. Thank you that your Spirit in us IS  greater than our enemy in this world. Thank you that we do not have to fear what the future holds, because you hold the future. Thank you for your Word that tells us, you will never fail us or abandon us and that your Son Jesus Christ, is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Thank you God for boldness to step out across the river, to not be stuck in complacency, to move forward to your promise land. We ask for forgiveness of our sins, sins against you and each other; sins that have been hidden but not repented, sins that have held us back from crossing into our promise lands. We pray for the souls who have never heard your good news, for the souls that have heard your Word but have turned their back on you – we pray that there would be a softening of their hearts, a laborer sent across their path, an encouraging word, a movement towards you and a reconciliation. We pray for our nation, we pray that the people would turn to you God, that your church would join together and proclaim you as our one true God. We pray for our leaders, that they would seek you and search you out, and find you and accept you as their Creator and Lord. We pray before this next debate that your favor be on the rightful candidate for this country, we claim your Son as our only Lord and Savior but we acknowledge that our country needs a President that will turn its focus back to you God. We pray for your favor and wisdom upon the candidate that believes in the santicicty of life and marriage – we pray for the candidate that respects our country and supports the Freedoms our forefathers claimed for us in our Constitution. We pray for the people’s eyes to be opened to the truth and not the corrupted lies of the media, we pray for the people’s ears to hear the message that you would have them hear. We know the enemy has plans for this debate, has plans for this country that are destruction and chaos, but we know that we don’t have to fear, because your Word tells us that when two agree here on earth that it will be done by you in Heaven – so Lord as we unite together in agreement for the truth and for your will to be done – we thank you in advance because we receive the blessings, favor, mercy and grace that you have for your children and this nation! Thank you God, thank you – in Jesus’ name we pray ~ AMEN!
