Seventeen Days of Prayer - Day Ten - January 13, 2021
DAY TEN:
“For though
we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of
our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down
strongholds.”[1]
Father God, we know
beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are in the battle of our life. For too long,
we have been complacent and comfortable. You warned us wolves would come in
among Your sheep, that we were to be sober and vigilant, for our adversary the
devil walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour,[2] and we, Your church, fell
asleep on our watch. Forgive us, O Lord, as we repent in dust and ashes.
Your children, in
whom Your Spirit dwells, didn’t remember how the fallen angel, the Prince of
Persia, withstood the mighty angel in the book of Daniel. We thought the enemy
only attacked us in the spiritual, regarding the Gospel and its preaching.
We did not realize
how powerful the fallen angel, the dark Prince of America, had grown. Again,
forgive us, O Lord, and give us eyes to see our enemy. Compel us to pray with
power as Daniel did, so that You send Your angel warriors to fight this evil
prince, to help us pull down this spiritual stronghold over our
government, and to deliver us from evil. You, Lord, declare the victory.
In Jesus’ name and
filled with Your Holy Spirit, we, the people of God Almighty, pull down the
stronghold the enemy has over America, and we come against the evil his human
servants are bringing forth.
We ask, Father, in
the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Savior, our All in All, for You to
send Your angels and stop the enemy in their tracks. Expose the corruption and
lies in government offices, and give America back to Your servants, who honor
and glorify You with their thoughts, words, and deeds.
Still, Lord, as we do
battle in the spiritual dimension, men and women will fight this battle in the
physical. Protect all Your servants who are fighting for right and good in this
country: our Military, our National Guard, our State and Local Police. Make them strong—stronger and wiser than humanly possible. Go before
them as their Shield, their Defender, and go behind them as their Rear Guard.
Give them Your divine wisdom that they may uncover all the evil secrets, and fight
this battle in the physical world while we, your children, stay vigilant to
fight in the spiritual.
You promised that “no
weapon formed against us shall prosper and every tongue which rises against us
in judgment You shall condemn.” And why would You do that? Because You love
us with an everlasting love, and You said, “This is the heritage of the
servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.”[3]
We understand we
will have tribulation in this world, but we should be of good cheer for Jesus
overcame the world.[4]
Thank You, Lord God, for this comfort.
Keep our faces
strong against the enemy and our foreheads like adamant stone, harder than
flint,[5] that we may fight with relentless
determination for the Gospel and the good of our country.
O Most High, in the
matchless name of Jesus we pray, Amen and amen.
