As a lifelong resident of Iowa, I am very familiar with the caucus process and the impact it has on our nation. We have been and still are being bombarded with emails, texts, television ads, phone calls, and social media. Candidates and the media that follow them are holding meetings and rallies in small towns, county seats, and our state capitol almost around the clock. As a state we are given lots of political pomp until January 16th when life returns to normal. Wait. Is anything really normal anymore?
Prayer history in Iowa politics
We have been praying for all the candidates long before they set foot on our rich Iowa soil. Our prayer group has been praying in our State Capitol building every Tuesday for the last 33 years. We will normally have 20-40 intercessors and legislators in our prayer room. All IFA members are invited to join us telephonically (listen only mode) on Tuesdays from noon -1 pm or in person if you happen to be in the area and Saturday morning from 9-10 am where everyone is invited to pray together on our live call. Click here for Iowa call details.
We are living in a “Rees Howells” moment in time. (Read more about Rees Howells here.) Through prayer Holy Spirit exposes the enemy, we pray in unity, and the Lord delays and foils plans of death and destruction. Prayer has and still can prevent war. More prayer, more power.
I am highly concerned about the coming generations. My wife Kate and I have been married 44 years and are parents of 4 beautiful children and grandparents of 14 even more beautiful grandchildren. A recent Generation Z poll (I believe it was Pew) stated that 63% of Zs would rather give up their right to vote than give up their Tik- Tok account. To paraphrase a famous Iowan named Meredith Wilson, writer of The Music Man, we got trouble right here in River City. That’s trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for PRAYER (my version).
So, why are the caucuses so important?
A National Bureau of Economic Research of the election found that voters who cast ballots in early-voting states such as Iowa had up to 20 times the influence of late voters in the selection of candidates. Early voters are able to narrow the field, boost longshot candidates, and dim the prospects of perceived frontrunners in a way that voters who cast their ballots once the primary is all but decided are not.
We are expecting record low caucus temperatures of -17 and wind chill of -45 on January 15th Monday night starting at 7:00 pm. It is expected that attendance will be reduced. But God! We have asked pastors to send out texts to their members to carpool for the elderly, single moms, friends, and neighbors, etc. so please pray for good attendance.
Pray for Iowa Caucus
We had our state prayer call Saturday morning and ask that you join us in praying for
- repentance,
- forgiveness,
- truth,
- unity,
- righteousness,
- peace,
- order,
- keep fraudulent voters away,
- election integrity,
- fear of the Lord,
- no shrinking back,
- division of soul and spirit,
- that Iowa would be a marking point for turning of our nation.
Pray Shalom. Join us and pray for wisdom and discernment in the midst of this huge circus. How are you praying for the caucus today as we enter into the official election season for citizen involvement? Share below.

I am so grateful for IFA and their commitment to election integrity. Thank you for gifting Christ believers (prayer warriors) with the tools for lifting up the people in Iowa through our intercession. I am praying and will continue throughout this 2024 election year.
God Bless IFA and God Bless America!!!
I agree with DC..
“And Asa cried out to the LORD, and
said, “LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on you, and in Your Name we go against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God, do not let man prevail.” 2 Chronicles 14:11
Lord, I lift up to you the Iowa caucuses our time honored seat of influence in a trustworthy environment that determines the thoughts and actions of many.
As we are only humans without power and you are God Almighty with all power.. the prayer of Asa in second chronicles 14:11 Rings particularly true..
Lord let our precious lives and Country again turn to you and turn away from Evil-,and return to a time of Sanity Lord, and conservative values.. let the Iowa caucuses Lord be directed and administrated with and from your goodness and holiness-, Lord, in the outcome Lord that America’s Heritage could remain intact-,and as we work Lord and battle to restore election integrity, I pray and thank you Lord for all the intercessors here that are praying and the influence that this effort has on the American vote. In Jesus mighty name, amen

Father God, thank you that you hear our prayers and petitions that your righteous elect be placed in seats of leadership in America. Lord, You love America and have made a covenant with this Nation. You are a God who doesn’t lie nor can Your covenant be snatched from Your hand by the enemy. Let Your will be done on earth Lord as it is in Heaven. Your word says that you raise up kings and take down kings and that the government is on Jesus’s shoulders. Thank you Lord that You bring your righteous justice to the earth and America will once again stand for You God and go forth as a light for the gospel to the Nations of the world. I decree that God’s righteous men and women will sit in the leadership seats in America once again and righteous rule establised. God bless America! In Jesus Name, Amen, So be it!
King Jesus, the government sits on your shoulders. We ask what Your will is for this election and that You will frustrate the ways of the wicked. We ask Holy spirit for discernment and to base our decisions on the gospel of truth and righteousness. We repent for the American people’s lukewarmness and voting based on agendas other than Your word. As Christ followers, remind us that we have the power and the authority given by You to bring us back to a couuntry founded on Your precepts. In Your Holy name, we pray. Amen
As frigid temperatures scour the Midwest, the Republican presidential nominating process will officially start Monday with Iowa’s caucuses.The quadrennial contest has been unusually quiet this year, a mark of former President Donald Trump’s commanding lead in the race.
Lord,
Thank you for hearing our prayers and for your ultimate sacrifice for our eternity with you. Forgive us for our sins. Help us to remember whose we are and what you call us to stand for.
We need leaders who are believers seeking your will. Protect the integrity of the Iowa caucus, so we move in that direction. In your victorious name , I ask for Satan’s lies to be bound and that your truth be loosed on earth. Your will be done! Amwn
THY KINGDOM COME THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the reminders…why is it that we need to be reminded of God’s grace, his mercy, his help in ages past?! Praying that all will be protected as they travel to and from the caucuses this evening and that “Thy will be done!”
Agreeing with you in prayer; appealing to God’s mercy.
May the LORD God show up in Iowa! Why not?!
For His Name’s sake! For His Kingdom’s sake! For the Gospel’s sake!
Amen!!
Firstly, I’m thanking God for Warriors like yourself who stand, pray, ACT and cherish our country! I’m praying today for the points you made and for protection, wisdom and discernment today, tomorrow and throughout 2024 and beyond! I pray BUT GOD as far as voter turn out – protection and safety for everyone in these wintry conditions! Also, “Our Father, who is in Heaven, hallowed be THY NAME, THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE – on earth as it is in Heaven!” in Jesus Name, AMEN.
So great to hear from you, Tom, and what an encouragement to hear how your prayer group has been so faithful every Tuesday for 33 years! May the Lord give you a bountiful harvest as a result of your blessing to the King and His Kingdom.
I am the IFA State Prayer Leader for Tennessee. Our group will pray for the leaders for God’s nation, the United States of America, to prevail, the mouths of the lions to be shut, TRUTH to be revealed and for our doubt and uncertainty to be lifted as we TRUST the Lord our God to bring us THROUGH.
Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be THY NAME, THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL be done on earth as it in Heaven. Father, please grant me wisdom to pray aright for this situation.
LORD GOD, Ephesians 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Therefore, O LORD, we ask that You send Your mighty angels to thwart the plans and schemes of the wicked one and his rulers of darkness who appear in the guise of “good” men and women and reveal Your Truth about the candidates. Let the motive of all who cast their vote be in line with Your Word. Let no one prevent them from voting. Too, dear LORD, for Thy Name’s Sake, thwart all the plans of men blinded by hatred and greed and ensure that a fair election takes place. We long for your righteousness to rule this land, LORD JESUS, we long for an end of criminal political activity, we long for rules and laws that align with the Truths of Your Word. We ask that YOUR CHOICE of politician be given the opportunity to be in government –Only YOU know the hearts of human beings and their trustworthiness. Grant us this day Our Father to rejoice in Your will that thwarts every plan of the evil one and brings his activity to a sudden end. in Jesus Name, and for Your GLORY O King of Kings and Lord of All. Amen.
O LORD, our God we pray for integrity in our elections, and in our voters, and in our vote counters.
In Jesus Blessed Name.
Amen.
I pray the Holy Spirit convict all involved in the Iowa caucus to seek God’s wisdom and righteousness before God and courage to fulfill God’s plans for this nation.
“And Asa cried out to the LORD, and said, “LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on you, and in Your Name we go against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God, do not let man prevail.” 2 Chronicles 14:11
Father God Redeemer, We thank You that You are keeping the fraudulent voters away, We pray for Your order, election integrity and that Iowa will be the marking point for turning this, Your nation.
Almighty Father, Esh Okla – Consuming Fire: send Your Holy Spirit and heavenly agents to consume this nation, this Earth with Your Great Awakening and Revival. In Jesus the Christ might, magnificent and majestic Name.
Amen
Praying for God’s candidate to stand out so far ahead of every other candidate that it is clear to everyone that God’s favor rests on him.
Bind the enemy’s attempts to cause confusion and division.
Release warrior angels to guard over the caucus and to destroy every evil plot, plan and scheme of the enemy.
Declare God’s presence is felt in the midst of the caucus.
My wife and I have been agreeing for each of the prayer points, and that the body of Christ will come together witnessing an overwhelming victory, in Jesus’ name. America is in the process of coming to the Lord!
I praise you, Lord God Almight, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the privilege to ‘call upon our Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer and King that YOUR PERSON OF CHOICE FOR OUR NATION’S PRESIDENCY for the next four years – will be winner tonight in Iowa. Please ‘open the door that no man may close,’ for your glory and will. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
AMEN!🙏🙏🙏
I pray for honesty and integrity to prevail in this Caucus that is taking place in Iowa. Please give guidance and wisdom to everyone involved, particularly the people who will be tallying the votes. I pray, Lord Jesus, that NO fraudulent votes will end up being tallied as legitimate votes. I pray for a hedge of Your supernatural protection over the candidates, the election workers at the polls, those who will be tallying the votes, and anyone else involved. Thank You, Jesus.
In the name of Jesus our victorious Lord and Savior, have dominion over the Iowa caucus and defeat every plan of the enemy. Thank you our Lord of Hosts.
Praying that God’s will be done in all aspects of what is happening in Iowa this evening, and for repentance across the nation.
