I Prayed have prayed
Lord God, we lift up to You the swirling controversy in Congress. We pray that truth and justice and a stronger America will result from our current trials.
Reading Time: < 1 minute

IFA has received reports that the atmosphere in Congress is intense and needs immediate prayer. Pray specifically for unity, humility, and compassion. 1 Peter 3:8 says,  Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

Our prayers can have an impact! Now is the time to seek God for our nation, to view the news as an invitation for intercession.

As you seek the Lord, listen. Then please share what He is speaking to you.

Dear Congressional Insider,
This is to let you and your colleagues know that for the past 14 years our family has prayed consistently daily for wisdom and the shalom of God to guide you all, plus whatever else the Spirit reveals to us. We aren’t the only ones. There are many quiet warriors surrounding you all on your particular battlefield. Be encouraged, be blessed from all of your sisters and brothers in the Lord.
Maranatha Lord Jesus

I noticed the comments above about ‘old beliefs’ vs ‘new beliefs.’ I do believe that both can be factors. We have people from other cultures (that we don’t begin to understand) vying for attention, compliance and support. In America (the land of the free), some have come to believe that God’s Word can be twisted to support what they want to believe and practice. God’s Word remains clear — we are to pray for “His Will to be done.” Bible Reading becomes so much more important for us to stay attuned to ‘Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’
I was particularly drawn to one of the prayers above…
‘Bless the humble in leadership, offer repentance to rebels and judgement for those who do not hearken to
your voice. Cause Congress to serve your ends regardless of politics.’

Dear gracious kind Heavenly Father… we thank You always for who You are, merciful, mighty, and full of grace. Forgive us in America for our foolishness and always trying to put You in a box and dictate to You. We love You, we trust You and we need You more than ever. Our prayer this moment is our leaders will turn from their own ways and seek You… if they do not know You… we pray that will know You and trust You and seek You in all things. You, O precious Lord have been so merciful to us in how we have continually gone are own way. May America come back to You. In Jesus’ precious holy and powerful name I pray… Amen

We thank You God that we can come to You openly and join with others as we give our Nation and our governing body of Congressional members as well as the House of Representatives in to Your hands. In Jesus Name silence those who seek to destroy us from within. Cause those who see through their rhetoric and hype to speak up and speak out against anything that seeks to destroy the good we have in this country namely freedom to worship and know there are just balances by which we all will be judged. When we speak whether we agree or disagree let our voice be used to open mature discussions that will lead to actions and effect necessary changes that will benefit and not undermine the integrity of the Constitution or Your purpose in our present civil and governmental unrest. Bring a genuine peaceful end to lies and misrepresented facts. Silence the media that is pressing its own agenda and help those who have been led to believe lies see the Truth. Both sides feel they have truth but You alone know the hearts of those who speak their version of truth. Help us to seek to know the fact based truth and be willing to be uncomfortable as changes for the better take place. Tear down every high and lofty opinion that opposes Your Word and open all our eyes to see the reality of what needs to be done and do our part. Protect those who are being threatened for speaking Truth and keep their families safe, from the President down to the person on the street corner. Help us all to be willing to risk ourselves for the greater good and remind those in publicly held elected offices of the price paid by our founders and that their office is not a membership in an elite club but a place in which they are given the high privilege of working on behalf of the greater good for the law abiding people across this Nation, and move on them to seek You for guidance. Reverse satanic, occultist, demonic curses and release Your blessings on our Nation once again. In Jesus Name Amen

    Lord, I pray that You will hear this prayer and enact it. I praise You, the God of reversals against all odds, and ask that You again step in and intervene for Your glory. We need You. Bless Wendy and keep her a strong and divinely-inspired prayer warrior in Your Name. In the Name of our loving Father, His ever-merciful Son, and the piercing Holy Spirit, I pray. Amen.

Peace is not necessarily righteousness. Righteousness cannot be done while giving into the evil. True peace is liberty and righteousness for all. Crisis is not bad. Crisis means something is changing. I am praying it changes just as God Leads!!!

Abba Father, I thank you for blessing this Nation called America. Where the spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty! And you precious Holy Spirit is here dwelling in your people called by your name. Thank you for hearing our prayers as we slay the giant in the name of Jesus. Thank you for giving us the victory. Bless President Trump and his staff with strength, endurance, and stamina. In name of Jesus! Amen!

1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
Psalm 133

Father, in accordance with Your word we shift the atmosphere in Congress this day. We renew the bonds of brotherhood that once bound us together as a people. We proclaim unity as we have declared our nation to be one nation under God. We call forth the anointing of Your Spirit to unite a divided nation and its representatives, from north to south and east to west. Lord God, in your mercy, we look for Your blessing of life to flow once again through this nation and our leaders, and from here to the world. In Christ’s name.

Father GOD,
As the electorate of those in Congress who have been called to represent us, we take responsibility right now for them: their actions, their attitudes and their words. We choose to declare that Your Spirit is welcome in those halls right now and we choose to declare each representative and each senator who claims You as LORD of his/her life to be in total alignment with Your will and Your ways. We declare that their ears are open and their hearts are receptive to whatever Holy Spirit, Who is hovering in that place, chooses to do for the glory and sake of Your Son, JESUS.

Father, we declare peace that passes understanding to prevail in that place. We call forth wisdom, humility, soundness of mind and total dependence on Your instruction and empowerment right now that Your Son, JESUS would be presented in His glory through all words and actions occurring right now. Father, I thank You that every one of Your children right now is girded completely in the spiritual weapons with which You have endowed them. I see each one taking up the shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of the defeated foe. I ask that just like the band that went to the Garden of Gethsemane to “capture” JESUS and fell on their faces before His power and authority, those who are attempting to bring chaos would fall before Him now in true rectitude and repentance.

We declare on behalf of the nation that we CHOOSE righteousness and declare our allegiance to You as the Ultimate Sovereign over our land. The report out of Intercessors for America today was that there is much greater unity than has been reported or alluded to by the media. We call the media back into alignment with principles of honor, integrity and honesty.

We continue to thank You, Father, for those in authority throughout our land who rightly declare this is ONE NATION UNDER YOU, GOD and no weapon formed against it will prosper. We speak order and lawfulness over our nation and an awakening to Truth by all people, regardless of age and mental capacity. We choose this day Whom we will serve; we humbly and confidently choose YOU, PRECIOUS FATHER—The ONE TRUE and ALMIGHTY GOD, CREATOR, SUSTAINER Who IS/WAS/AND IS TO COME—LOVE EVEERLASTING. AMEN!

As I prayed, I was prompted to pray- “Break the bonds, Lord. Break the bonds.”
When I said that, Holy Spirit said, “They are ancient bonds.” So what is taking place is addressing age-old mindsets.

    HI, This is more than old mindsets the bonds are covenants made with the kingdom of darkness . So Lord I pray that you will reveal the covenants of witchcraft , free masonry and every type of psyhchic power and Idol worship to those who need to understand , and those caught up in the traps of the enemy. We bind every manifestation of the Jezabel spirit, intimidation , and manipulation operating , in against or through members of congress or their aids and associates.
    We loose cooperation , bipartainship , true love , joy and peace of Christ in the US House and Senate . We also loose the fire of God to expose and drive out any unrepentant lies ,deception, and obstruction in the paths of righteousness . We bind all racism, false accusations and ungodly division and ask that you Father God cause the light and darkness to be exposed . WE bind the spirits of death and abortion and loose life, safety, and protection for the unborn. Thank You Jesus, and we declare your Lordship and dominion over all departments of US Government !

Thank you O Holy One for revealing the motives of political leaders. Thank you for teaching us about the
character and plans of the haughty. The the powers of darkness to bring your agenda to fruition, Lord.
Bless the humble in leadership, offer repentance to rebels and judgement for those who do not hearken to
your voice. Cause Congress to serve your ends regardless of politics.

Father God; we praise you for what you are accomplishing today in the White House and Congress.
We bind off all demonic forces seeking to discourage and cause disruption in accomplishing your purposes. For those who seek to do YOUR will we pray:

Psalm 149:6
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth
and a two edged sword in their hand!
