Thank you for participating in the survey and thank you even more for standing in the gap for this great nation before our Great God.
“Hear the supplications of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.” (2 Chron 6:21)
What do you want to pray about in 2018?
Last week we surveyed you about praying for the nation in 2018. Here is a summary of our survey results. If you missed the survey, we would still love to hear from you! Click HERE to participate. After you finish the survey you can see the complete results of the survey.
- Please choose the following topics that would most interest you to hear about from IFA in 2018.
Our three highest responses were campaign intercession, how to engage, and turning prayer to action.
- Other responses included:
“To intercede after seeking direction from Holy Spirit- become better listener”
“How do we get several people together for corporate intercessory prayer?“
“Sample letter to address public officials. Encourage candidates and officials to establish trusted pray group to share more private details of issues. Prayer about engaging public officials, professional sharing concerns and opinions. Pray to connect relationship of ifapray to other ministry as it relates to election and other matters. Thank you.”
“information on issues to pass on to others as alot of what I see in your emails is awesome and won’t see in media”
“I believe there is exponential power in agreement prayer. I also believe that praying aloud adds a power to prayer. I’d like to see encouragement of having people gather, even in small groups, to come into agreement prayer for the nation and these elections.”
“I am inspired and helped when prayers are printed out (in the email) so I can “pray along” as I read, and add to the prayer what God directs.”
“How to pray for godliness for our leaders.”
“I write to the elected officials after their official contact information is available. I don’t know the effect but since I wrote Governors in 2014 God confirmed me to do all elected officials. Yes! A big ongoing job.”
- Click any topic that may be of interest to you for IFA to cover in its publications.
Leaders share insight was first, with leaders’ testimonies and officials share interaction info a close second
- When you hear “Intercessory Activism” what does that mean to you?
There were nearly 1000 entries, but many, many responded “boots on the ground,” or adding action to prayer. We will be reading and analyzing all the data, so be assured your comments and concerns will be heard.
- And 6. What are you sensing from the Lord, that intercessors need to focus on in 2018?
Again, with nearly 1000 responses, it is impossible to do justice to the wonderful comments and responses we received. However, themes emerge—praying for revival, truth, righteousness in us, the Church, the government, the end of legalized abortion, unity. The responses were Christ-centered and encouraging.
- We are looking for confirmation on God’s direction for our prayer for this year. We sense that the mid-term elections is a prayer focus—do you agree?
Overwhelmingly, yes, you agreed, by about a 10 to 1 margin.
Thank you for participating in the survey and thank you even more for standing in the gap for this great nation before our Great God.

2nd Chronicles 7:14
Grace & ability to perform the command given:
Septuagint Bible:
When my people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray to Me and seek my Favor, and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins, and heal their land.
• When my people: we Christians need to take responsible, and be accountability for the world conditions, the unsaved can’t see, and can’t really pray. As the church we are the plumb line in the sand, and the moral compass that moves the universe seen and unseen.
• Who are called by My name: if you are recognized by the unsaved, and they call you personally a Christian, then you have passed the first requirement to be ready to move on. An excellent beginning is to fellowship (do not forsake the assembling together), in a “free church”; that is to have Jesus as the head of your church, and not the state as is the outcome of a 501C3 corporation church. God Almighty says my name not “doing business as”, as a free church Jesus can run it. 2,000 years ago the early church had to fight being a Roman corporation, and many died, because of the refusal to be a state corporation.
• Humble themselves: Stop grieving the Holy Spirit. There is a shift here in ability, where you can receive grace to move on to the next command to pray [1 Peter 5:5 God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble]. Your soul at this point has to realize it can’t do anything spiritual except come to the end of itself, give up and cry out to God Almighty; your soul can stop blocking the Spirit from receiving; it can open up to the heart & confess from a connection to the spirit; Ps 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. In other words repent of your personal sins, not someone else’s sins.
• Pray to Me: (Not just pray, but move into the next phase toward Renaissance, pray to God Almighty directly), You can & need to be persistent “ask & keep asking, then progress to seek & keep seeking, and finally knock & keep knocking!” [Ps 34:17 (The righteous) cried, and Jehovah heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.]; you are beginning to stop your suppressing & denial of the truth here. Judging others is also an attempt of the soul to create it’s own justification, and bypass Jesus’ work on the cross, by comparative self righteousness.
• Seek My Favor: Under the new covenant Heb… tells us “Come boldly to the throne of Favor/Grace”. Here you can draw near God Almighty [Ps 37:4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah; and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.]; you can now begin hearing what God Almighty wants you to pray, especially about yourself, and not just what your soul desires to pray; before this you were caught up in soul worship (guilt, shame, condemnation, unworthiness, embarrassment, self pity, self absorbed, pity party, introverted), you were self reliant & unable to repent & turn to God. Instantly turning to God instead of self will bring you to the place of overcoming [past obedience & surrender]. The spirit of fear of relying on God kept you in a different kingdom, instead of completely in the kingdom of light.
• Turn from their evil ways: After seeking God’s Favor you now have drawn close enough to turn from your flesh, the world, & the devil [James 4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.], we see being subject to God is the step that allows you the strength to resist the Devil, without the nearness of God Almighty you can’t resist the devil.
• I will hear from heaven: you have now broken through the brass heavens, & your prayers are now being head, & you are actually repenting from your heart/spirit, & not just your soul or mind; your heat is opening up to God & man; your realizing your error; and your not blocking, or distracting from the truth anymore. Now, is the time to: Ps 32:6 pray to You in a time when You may be found.
• Forgive their sins: As you draw near God Almighty, & experience the grace of Jesus offers, you will begin to forgive God & all others you have judged including yourself; now God can remove the tormentors & forgive you, so that you can be sanctified [Matt 18:32-35
32 Then his lord called him unto him, and said to him, you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you sought me:
33 shouldn’t you also have had mercies on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on you?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.].
• Heal their land: at this place what you have now bound on earth is also bound in the heavens, the “prince of the power of the air” is helpless, because as Jesus said, “he has nothing in Me”; the principalities & powers are defeated, along with the world rulers, and God Almighty will begin building His kingdom! The unsaved will now begin feeling the power of God Almighty & healing will be normal, evil will flee the country, because the conviction of God is to strong.
• At this point, God has judged His house, and can begin judgment on the world “1 Peter 4:17
17 For the time (is come) for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if (it begin) first at us, what (shall be) the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? ASV”; God has done what He promised in scripture” Matt 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, 42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. ASV”
There is no question that the coming elections are again going to be crucial. It is an issue that must be bathed in prayer. To hand over this nation to those who are left liberal secular humanist progressives would be terrible and will lead the nation to destruction. The election is crucial, but even more crucial, I think, is the repentance that is so needed within the body of Christ, especially in some of the larger denominations, and the American population at large. We are still aborting some 3,500 babies per day, adultery and fornication is rampant, drug dealing and taking is increasing, homosexuality seems to be growing, along with its same-sex “marriage” that continues to be lauded by many leaders in America. All of these issues are signals that the “swamp” is not just in Washington, but all over the nation, especially in large urban areas. It is also crucial that our national leadership stay the course in recognizing and blessing Israel and the Jewish people. This too, is very important. We have our work cut out for us in prayer, for sure. Keep up the good work of IFA. Shalom u’vracha (peace and blessings) GK
Right On!
Well articulated!!! Thank you.
