John Haste (R)

I pray in agreement with prayer warriors engaged in spiritual warfare on behalf of Representative John Haste. We lift him up, stand in the gap under the authority Jesus gives His disciples in Matthew 28:18-19, and pray in Jesus' name that he be surrounded by spirit-filled Christian disciples who are able to speak Your Word of Truth and Your values into his life. We pray in Jesus' name for the binding (Matthew 16:19) of satan's rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12) and for "the demolish(ing) of arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God," (2 Corinthians 10:5). We pray for the loosing (Matthew 16:19) of open eyes, listening ears and a soft heart that will enable Mr. Haste to receive revelation of Your truth and values into his spirit. We pray that John Haste is convicted to receive Your gift of salvation (John 3:16) and "take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ," (2 Cor. 10:5). We pray he be blessed with godly counsel and God-fearing advisors (Proverbs 24). In Jesus name, Amen.

Lord God, to You belongs all wisdom, all power and all glory! To You, alone, belongs all worship and praise! And it is to You, alone, that we humbly request divine help and guidance and strength and courage and hearts willing to receive and act upon that which we pray for. Senator John Haste is no different. First and foremost, we pray that Senator Haste would seek You, know You and follow You and in so doing, would usher in the blessings of God into his state and into this nation. For the benefit of many, his position requires he be greatly attuned to You, greatly reliant upon You, and greatly guided by Your unchanging Truth. For these things we pray on behalf of Mr. Haste, his office, his home and his duty. May Your hand be heavy upon Senator John Haste, working in him the godly leader that is needful. We humbly ask this in the power and authority of the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Gracious Heavenly Father, may Sen. Haste know that it is Your hand and Your sovereign purpose that is keeping him and sustaining him in his divine commission. (Ps 38:12-15) Keep him, and those who serve him, safe from the enemy's snares and free from the accuser's traps. (Ps 141:9-10) By Your great hand, Lord, deal with those who oppose righteousness and justice so that all will know it is You alone who is sovereign and true. (Ps 64:6-9) I pray that you would open his heart to hear and respond to the Gospel Message if he does not know you. I pray the prayer of King Solomon in I Kings on our leader. "Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that he may discern between good and evil." Pour out Your Spirit upon him. Shower him with your goodness and put a hedge of protection about him and his family. Protect him from the influence of the evil one and teach him to trust in you. Reveal to him by Your Spirit the marvelous truth of the Gospel. Give him discretion, foresight and understanding in making decisions. Grant him a heart of compassion toward those he leads and serves. Help him, like Jesus to love righteousness and hate lawlessness. Help him to have the courage to do the right thing even when urged to do the wrong thing. In the Name above all names Jesus our Messiah. Amen.
