The Speaker of the House is third in line to the President of the United States. If the President is incapacitated, the Vice President becomes President. If the VP and President are incapacitated, the Speaker becomes President. IFA’s South Carolina Prayer Leader has provided these excellent prayer points:

PRAYER POINT #1:  Continue to bind the powers of darkness attached to the U.S. presidency.

Currently, Satan is unable to grasp and hold onto the Speaker position, being held off by intercessors’ shields of faith.

PRAYER POINT #2:  Continue to shield the Speaker position from the powers of darkness.  Tell them: “In the Name of Jesus, you cannot have this position.”

God’s will is for the will of the American people to be reflected in the person holding the Speaker position.

PRAYER POINT #3:  Call forth the will of God for the Speaker to reflect the will of the American people.

PRAYER POINT #4:  Intercede for the cleaning out of the corruption in our government. Pray against civil violence trying to force a result.

PRAYER POINT #5:  Then release the Hand of God to move, releasing the public’s will, and sweep the right person into the position, removing the demonic influences in the process.

Connect with others in your state in prayer.

 

Last week, embattled House Republicans moved to remove Jim Jordan as the party’s nominee after three unsuccessful rounds of votes.

A previous nominee, Steve Scalise, abruptly dropped out on 13 October, just a day after his party chose him. …

House Republicans will hear from nine new candidates at a closed-door forum on Monday evening, which is expected to be followed an internal conference vote on Tuesday.

A vote could follow on the House floor as early as the same day …

Let’s take a look at the lawmakers that are vying for the position.

Tom Emmer of Minnesota

Tom Emmer, 62, is currently House Majority Whip, making him the third-most powerful Republican in the House. …

Mr Emmer, however, may have difficulties in securing votes from right-wing Republicans and allies of former president Donald Trump, some of whom have criticised him voting to certify the results of the 2020 election …

Kevin Hern of Oklahoma

Mr Hern … has served in the House since 2018. He’s now the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a position that is often seen as a precursor to leadership positions within the party. …

Austin Scott of Georgia

Mr Scott, 53, first emerged as a candidate for speaker last week after winning 81 votes in a closed door ballot against Mr Jordan. …

Along with Mr Emmer, Mr Scott is the only other Republican candidate who did not object to the certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election. …

Mike Johnson of Louisiana

In 2020, Mr Johnson was considered a key player in the bid to object to Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election. …

Jack Bergman of Michigan

In a statement announcing his candidacy, Mr Bergman portrayed himself as a temporary option that can “steady the ship” and “win the votes where others could not”. …

Byron Donalds of Florida

Mr Donalds is considered an ardent supporter of Mr Trump and is a member of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus. …

Dan Meuser of Pennsylvania

Speaking to reporters on Friday Mr Meuser said that he would bring “a business perspective to things and gain consensus” if he were nominated as the Republican Speaker candidate.

Pete Sessions of Texas

Texas’ Mr Sessions, 68, is the longest-serving representative to throw his hat in the ring to become Speaker. …

In Congress, he has served as chairman of the House Republican campaign committee and was once chairman of the Rules committee, a powerful post with considerable influence over the introduction and process of passing legislation on Capitol Hill.

Gary Palmer of Alabama

Mr Palmer, 59, was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2014 and since 2019 has been chair of the Republican Policy Committee. He now also serves on the House Oversight and Accountability and Energy and Commerce committees. …

If the zDorty Dozen continue, it might be a time and time and a half. If we could enlist Agatha Christie to reveal the surrogate defenders of the conference room and the silenced media, we would know more of the backlog of personal issues involved.
If the saboteurs could also be identified, we could get on with the drag net needed at Norfolk

After years of the threat of N. Pelosi becoming the President, if something happened to the President & Vice President, I’m thinking ANY conservative is a much better idea than she was. Most of the people in the list of those seeking or being considered for Speaker in the above article I’ve never heard of. Maybe that’s not a bad thing, but it is scary not to know WHO they are.

    Not all “conservatives” are actually conservative. Democrats run as Republicans. We have a self-described witch who is being portrayed as a normal ordinary citizen running in our County for office.

    Heavenly Father,

    Reveal the character of each one of these men listed above. As I write this prayer, thank You that Representative Emmer was rejected and that Representative Mike Johnson now has the support of the Republican Caucus. On the surface, his bold questioning of the corrupt results of the 2020 election gives us hope that he’s a true Biblical conservative. If he is Your choice for Speaker of the House, please place him in this position. If not, replace him with a true Godly man who lives and breathes Your Word.

    In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I believe that Jim Jordan would have been a great Speaker of the House. He was voted out because some were afraid of his policies.

Heavenly Father in accordance with your word we decree and declare truth, righteousness and justice in the Speaker of the House of Representatives position For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.
Is the individual trying to win the approval of human beings or of God? If the individual elect is trying to please man he or she would not be a servant of Christ. Then who can be trusted with little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much and God you see each lawmaker’s heart. Are they worthy of this position and if you say “YES” we declare and decree the door is open to him/her and your will be done in Jesus name. If you say “NO” we declare and decree the door is close to him/her NOW in Jesus name.

We bind that spirit of pride, corruption and self importance and release the Will of God being done, the armor of God to guard against pride and self importance, the love of God and let the people who walk in darkness in our nation see the light and let Your light God shine upon those in the shadow of darkness. I/We pray for the leaders of my nations to come to the light.
Lord God so give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. We decree and declare your church not to be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present our requests to God.

As the Lord brings righteousness and judgement to our nation I/we thank you for your mercy and truth.
I/We pray that the glory of the Lord be revealed to our nation, and that all the inhabitants will see it. Thank you God for your WILL being done in Jesus name. Amen

Heavenly Father,

There is not enough information within this article to decide who Your people want to lead the House of Representatives. We know that the 25 who secretly voted against Jim Jordan align themselves with the Kevin McCarthy wing who is controlled by his World Economic Forum handlers. Because we don’t know who of these 9 are Godly men, we ask You to install the leader who most likely lives and breathes Your Son’s Word in both his personal and public life.

We pray that You quickly clear away all satanic impostors to place Your choice in office. After all, You tell us that our government rests upon Your Son’s shoulders so please place Your choice in this Speaker’s position.

In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

Jesus, we see You moving in US government leadership. We choose Your selection for Speaker. Bring forth that key individual in Your time. We realize Your authority depends on our bowing to it and our responsibility is to continue in prayer for such a time as this. Give us patience waiting for Your dramatic move to come. Brace us for what we have not yet seen. We depend on Your hesed covenant keeping with usA and all Your peoples in the earth.
