The following is an excerpt from our daily devotional series Intercessors Win.

Are you fed up with watching the wicked in America seemingly get away with everything? If so, it’s time to join with other believers in faith, asking God—in the words of King David—to return the violent dealings of the wicked upon their own heads.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

The law of sowing and reaping is a universal, natural law that applies even to politics in the USA.

As Galatians 6:7-8 tells us:

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”

In the United States today, in many areas, we are reaping the chaos that the unholy alliance of corrupt politicians, lying media, and worshippers of darkness have sown. However, although it may appear that the wicked ones get a free pass to do anything they want, God’s Word says it isn’t so.

The Bible tells us that the plots of the wicked will return upon their own heads.

As it says in Psalm 7:14-16:

“Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood. He made a pit and dug it out, and has fallen into the ditch which he made. His trouble shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.”

When a person’s crimes and plots return upon their own heads, the world calls it “what goes around comes around.” However, in the Kingdom, we have a better name for it: the law of sowing and reaping. And this law, which works every time, is a powerful weapon in our prayer arsenal if we remember to get it out and use it.

Here’s how to pray for the troubles of the wicked to return upon their own heads:

• Identify the specific plot you are praying about; don’t pray vaguely if you can help it.
• Point out to the Lord that His own Word requires the wicked seed sown to bring the sower an evil harvest.
• Ask the Lord to expose the wicked deed about which you are praying. Remember that there’s nothing hidden which shall not be revealed, and nothing secret that shall not be made known.
• Ask Him to hold the people responsible accountable for their deeds.
• Ask Him to bring the plotters into the very consequence themselves that they tried to bring upon the righteous.

You can use this prayer sequence for anything evil. For example:

Praying about the Nashville bombing? Try praying this:

“Lord, bring the plots of the wicked upon their own heads. Expose every piece of evidence the bombers tried to destroy, and give American communications companies the wisdom to implement plans that would keep communications outages from EVER happening again.”

Praying for the Lord to take down pedophilia rings? Pray like this:

“Lord, expose what has been done and bring the pain these people have brought upon others onto their own heads. Completely annihilate and decimate their reach, their influence, their finances, and their relationships. Remove every resource from them that they used to hurt people, and let them never hurt another soul again. Let the shame and pain of their actions toward others fall upon their own heads.”

Praying about voter fraud? Try:

“Lord, let the perpetrators of the fraud lose all political power. In Jesus’ name, we pray:

• Let their staff defect to the side of righteousness.
• Let credible whistleblowers come forth and bring evidence to the courts to defend righteous elections.
• Let the thieves lose every seat they tried to steal, and let them get righteously voted out of every seat they were legally voted into in past years.
•  Dethrone every wicked governor and governmental figure, in Jesus’ name, and let their plots all come to nothing.”

The law of sowing and reaping says that we don’t have to sit around and shake our heads at the plotting of the wicked.

Instead, we can and should pray, “Lord, whatever they try to do to You, let it happen to them instead.”

Are you ready to pray this? Let’s join together and pray as follows:

“Father God, we come to You in Jesus’ name.

Father, thank You for letting us boldly come before Your throne of grace, where we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. We thank You also that You are Lord of Heaven and earth, Father, and all power belongs to You. You alone lift up kings and bring them down, and You alone control the times and the seasons.

Father God, we believe the set time has come for You to be exalted in America. The time has come for the enemy to be debased.

To this end, Father, we pray today that the troubles of the wicked would return on their own heads. We lift up          (insert specific situation)           to You, and we ask:

• Let the power the wicked ones were seeking be completely taken from them and given to the righteous instead.
• Let the wealth of the wicked in this situation be turned and given into the hands of the righteous.
• Let any evidence the wicked were seeking to hide be fully exposed and revealed for all to see.
• Let the influence that the wicked people used to protect themselves be totally stripped from them.
• Let the wicked become odious in the sight of the people, the investigators and prosecutors, the public, the judges, the juries, and even the news media.
• Let every piece of positive press the wicked received be turned into negative press. Use the media against the wicked, instead of letting the wicked monopolize the media for their own ends.
• Let every bit of negative press that Your people have received be turned into positive, life-giving, true, fair media coverage.

Father, we ask You to embarrass the wicked ones with their own wickedness. Let the seeds they have sown return upon their own heads.

If it is possible for any of them to be saved, then use Your disciplinary process to save them. Bring them to repentance and cause them to make Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior through the process.

However, Lord, if any of the wicked are too far gone to accept You, having given themselves over to a degenerate mind, then we ask You to judge them and eliminate their ability to ever fight on the side of wickedness again, in Jesus’ name.

Father, You are the great God, Lord, and Judge of all the earth. It is into Your hands that we trust these things, and we ask that You would get glory from this disciplinary process against the wicked. Defend Your people and break the bows of Your enemies.

Thank You, Father. It’s in Jesus’ holy and precious name we pray. Amen.”

Beloved, God is a God of mercy—but He is also a God of war. He is the Lord of hosts, the God of armies. Let’s call on Him today as everything He is so we can see Him fight on our behalf.
