Pray for Our Leaders: Taking Our Place

Jan 13 pic3// Kenneth E. HAGIN

Let's Keep on Praying

On January 31, 1983, Kenneth E. Hagin led a prayer meeting for our nation on the Rhema campus. The following is an abbreviated version of what he prayed that night:

Heavenly Father,

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.

 

We are exhorted in Your Word to pray, intercede, supplicate, and give thanks for ALL who are in authority, that Christians 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's in authority—that divine wisdom, grace, 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 and those spirits and dispel the darkness. In the Name of Jesus, we command the devil to take his hand OFF 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 turn around, and everyone that wants a job will find a job, and that we will be prosperous 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 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 to 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. We sweep the air clean from demons—powers of evil that would hinder, that would dominate. In the Name of Jesus!

And Father, we pray with our understanding as best we know how. 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, by the Holy Spirit within me prayeth. So we trust the Holy Spirit to help us to pray in this area about our nation, the leaders, and all that are in authority. Help us to pray as we ought to pray about things that we don't even know to pray. In Jesus' Name, amen.

 


 

"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."

—1 Timothy 2:1–4 (NKJV)

 


 

Changing Nations Biblically

We in the Body of Christ could accomplish much for the Kingdom of God if we would exercise the authority we have in the Name of Jesus and enforce the devil's defeat on this earth. Most of us don't use the authority that belongs to us. If we did, much damage would be done to the kingdom of darkness and many souls would be won to God.

As Christians, we can change the political, economic, and social scenes in cities and nations through scriptural prayer. We can hold back judgment on the unsaved, giving them more time to hear the Gospel and repent. Whenever we as God's people take our place in prayer, we can change things on this earth to the glory of God and thwart the plans of the enemy in every encounter.
