Prayer for National Renewal
Father, We ask you to renew our nation. Restore our hearts so we follow Your ways. Open the eyes of those who have been blinded by our corrupt government, and media. And may they see the falsehood of their surrounding and turn to Your truth.

Let there be changes that reflect Your goodness and justice. Fill our communities with hope and truth. Help us to be united and return to values that strengthen our faith.

Help us to stand for what is right when no one else will.

Help us seek Your renewal and protection, guiding our nation back to You.

In Jesus name, amen.

Pulling Down Strongholds and Restoring Righteousness.

God our Deliverer,

We call on you to break the grip of evil in our nation. Tear down every stronghold of immorality and end the shedding of innocent blood. We bind the spirits of violence, hatred, racism, abortion, drugs and human trafficking.

Restore and build a new foundation of truth and family values that honor Your commands within our communities .

Let your light expose every lie and guide us back to what is right.

Equip us with Your Words that strengthens to stand against evil and be the light where there is darkness.

In Jesus name, amen.

Repentance and Revival for the Nation

Most High God,

We confess our nation’s sins and ask for Your mercy. Forgive us for turning to idols, for selfish desires, and for living outside Your will. Heal our land and send a spiritual awakening that draws hearts back to You.

Let revival fill our churches with new hope and purpose. Give your people dreams and visions to help build your Kingdom in this place.

May our hearts keep seeking Your help and trusting You to restore our nation.

May Your truth cause a great revival and fill our land. Let Your Word become the standard by which our nation will stand by.

In Jesus name, amen.

Establishing God’s Kingdom and Spiritual Harvest

Dear Lord,

We come before You and ask that You set Your rule and purpose in our nation. Break every dark power that stands against Your plans. Let your will shape our land and bring a great harvest of souls.

May this nation shine as a true witness of Christ, sharing Your gospel with the world.
And may Your Spirit move across this land so many people will be drawn to You and set free from the enemies clutches.

In Jesus name, amen.

Declaring God’s Rule and Revival Over the Nation

King of Glory,

We proclaim that You alone are God in this land. Take your place as ruler over our nation and every part of our society—our cities, schools, government, families, media, and the arts.

Remove every false system and lie that stands against your truth. Replace them with your justice and wisdom.

Pour out Your Spirit and fulfill Your promise over our nation.

Bring revival so we become a people who honor You and share Your praise everywhere.

We declare Your authority and seek Your renewal for our nation.

In Jesus name, amen.

This speaks of a confusion and fear that properly belong to the wicked, not to the godly and wise. This is both because they are under God’s displeasure and because they lack the strength and courage of the Holy Spirit.

God’s righteous ones stand even when one comes against them, and with God’s strength they are bold as a lion.

This prayer is powerfully stated by Chad Prather

Pray with me

Almighty God and Father,

I come before You in the name of Jesus…my Savior, my Shield, my soon-coming King. I stand in the authority of Christ, not in my strength, but in the power of the risen Son of God.

Every principality, every power of darkness, every demonic force that seeks to steal, kill, or destroy, I rebuke you in Jesus’ name! The blood of Jesus is against you. The Cross has crushed your claim. The tomb is empty, and the King is alive.

Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords.
He reigns above every throne, every nation, every enemy, and every lie. He has disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross (Colossians 2:15).

I declare the kingdom of darkness defeated.
I declare confusion to the enemy’s camp. I break every curse, cancel every assignment, and tear down every stronghold in the mighty name of Jesus.

Holy Spirit, fill this place. Fill my heart, my home, and every battlefield I walk upon. Let the fire of God burn away fear, doubt, and despair. Let truth be my sword, righteousness my breastplate, salvation my helmet, and faith my shield.

I am not a victim. I am victorious.
I am not alone. Emmanuel is with me.
I am not afraid. My King rides before me, and His name is Faithful and True.

Lord Jesus, reign over my life. Reign over my mind. Reign over this war. Reign over this day. For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.

In the matchless, mighty, conquering name of Jesus Christ, I pray!

Amen

Testimony Tuesday

There will be moments when we may feel like giving up sometimes. Perhaps there is something going on in your life that just seems too heavy to carry. Or, maybe it seems like you are so tired of not seeing what you have been praying for.

Whatever it is, God sees. He knows, and He deeply cares. I know, because I’ve been there, then all of a sudden God will show up in an unexpected way through a friend, a random phone call, that may seem like a coincidence.

In fact I recall a situation I was in about eleven years ago when I was house hunting to buy a home. My real estate agent kept showing me houses that were not what I had in mind. She almost seemed disappointed and frustrated in me because I was rejecting everything she showed me. I kept praying for the right home, but nothing was coming up for me.

I got discouraged and wondered if I should even buy a home. One day a friend called me, and I gave her an update on my situation. She suggested I call her friend Shelly who happened to be a real estate agent. I have met Shelly before through this same friend when she owned her own Tea shop here in Sherwood, Oregon back in the 90’s.

Well, wouldn’t you know it, as I was talking on the phone with my friend our call got dropped. I tried redialing but it went to voicemail. I waited a minute or two and then my phone rang and it was my friend calling back. She said; “Paula, you are not going to believe this, but I tried calling you back but when someone else answered… it was Shelly! I briefly told her you were looking to buy a home and was dissatisfied with your current agent. Can you believe it? This was God!”

We were gobsmacked to say the least, or should I say “God smacked?”

Well, long story short, Shelly called me. It was the three of us that went house hunting. We only looked at three homes in the following week. The very last home wasn’t even on the market yet but only to agents. All three of us walked through that last home, we all knew the minute we opened the door this was the one. We hadn’t even gone upstairs yet! The house I am living in today was going to be my home. Surely God had His hand in this venture.

To this day, we could not figure out how Shelley was on the other end of that phone when my friend was trying to call ME back. I remember asking her, “Are you sure you didn’t mistakenly call Shelly instead of me?” She went through her call history…no Shelly, only my name.

There are no coincidences with God.
His plan may require waiting in the midst of discouragement, and yet His timing is always perfect. He cares about all the details in your life.

Hang in there my friends, don’t give up!
God will not fail you.
He will make a way.
Oh how He loves us.

“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.”
Psalm 27:13

“For nothing will be impossible with God.”
Luke 1:37

Amen! 🙏

Friends I want to share a story a close friend of mine wrote and shared a moment ago with me. I found her writing to be so profound especially with all trials we are going through. Standby…

My Yellow Leaf

I watched a yellow leaf struggle to just hang on to an empty branch as the wind blew it fiercely. It just held on for dear life. Inside myself I was cheering it on, rooting for it to just hold on.

I turned my gaze for a second and when I looked back it was gone. I ran to my window and started frantically looking for it. There it lay on the ground by a patio chair.

I felt sad. Did it just give up? Was it just too tired? Could it bear no more? I thought to myself, why am I witnessing this? Why did this little leaf even catch my attention?

Some might think I’m crazy to even be giving a leaf blowing in the wind a thought. Upon sharing what had just happened to a dear friend, she gave me a different point of view. She said, instead of thinking that it gave up or it failed, maybe it realized it had the strength to accept and let go, to trust and surrender.

Maybe it realized Who would catch its fall, could be trusted. That shook me to my core.

What am I holding onto so tightly? What stresses are tossing me too and fro? What do I need to surrender and let go of? Whom can I trust to catch me when I fall?

I am not defeated, I have the strength of God to accept the change He is calling me to. After all, I did go and retrieve my little yellow leaf. It’s bravery to know when to let go and let God will forever be my treasure.

It will serve as a reminder that God is always there to guide me. Even if He has to use a little yellow leaf to remind me.

The focus of this week is: The Economy.

What instantly springs to mind is piles of cash, stock market charts, and retail merchandise.

I’d like to go a little beyond that. As Believers we do not measure what is valuable the way the world does.

Children and family is immeasurable.

We note the value of hard work, a steady paycheck, and a place to call home.

We recognize that a fruitful land, excellent weather, stable commerce, and sound money are in God’s hands. We want our nation to be spiritually under His leadership.

Our servant’s heart, walking in closeness with and obedience to the LORD allows us to pray for these things —because we want our country to thrive under His leadership!
