Prayer for the Nation

SETTING YOUR WILL

Do this setting of will at least once weekly

Father, I confess our (i.e. self, immediate family, household, etc) sins, so clean with the blood (to cover the multitude of sins, 1Pet. 4: 7-8, keep the commandment without spot, 1Tim.6:14 and edify ourselves in love, Eph.4:15; 1Jn.5:16).

In Jesus’ Name we have life (visualize the flow of life into you as living water Jn. 4:10, 14).

In Jesus’ Name we have life.

I John 2:14: We are strong and have overcome the wicked one, Satan himself.

In Jesus’ Name we have life.

I John 4:4: We have overcome all evil spirits, because greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world,

In Jesus’ Name we have life.

Matthew 18:18: Evil spirits who may be oppressing or attacking the souls, bodies and circumstances of ourselves, members of our immediate families and households, I cast you out, destroy your works, resist and bind you in Jesus’ Name.

In Jesus’ Name we have life (visualize the flow of life into you as living water Jn. 4:10, 14).

I set my will and determine to apply completely and operate diligently (Ps. 119:112) the principles of perfection doing all God reveals to me to do (Phil.2:13): acknowledging and inquiring of the Lord in my thinking by frequently {at least once every conscious hour (Mt.24:42)} asking the Holy Spirit with thanksgiving (Col.4:2) for mercy unto eternal life to be faithful to do all things with love (1Cor.16:14); by watchful praying in tongues to wash feet (Jn.13:14): forgive, confess and cleanse our sins (1Jn.1:9); ask for life (1Jn.5:16) and pray in tongues (Jude 20-21; 1Cor.14:18) for us to bind the devil (Mt.11:12; 12:29) in the air (Eph.2:2), enforce the kingdom: righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom.14:17), at least once every six hours, at every opportunity and during temptations as led by the Spirit (Gen.24:27), as I think (Phil.4:8) and act on the word (Phil.4:9); so praying without ceasing (in my heart) in all honesty and humility, without fear, boldly and diligently by the mercy and grace of God.

Pray fervently in tongues for a short while (10-15 seconds) to release mercy and grace to bring to pass all you have just confessed. Meditate (think on and say in your heart) the confession as you pray in tongues.

In Jesus’ Name we have life (visualize the flow of life into you as living water Jn. 4:10, 14).

I submit my will firstly to God through His word, and also through my conscience with reverence (without God I cannot survive spiritually: Jn. 1:1). Secondly, I submit to those in authority over me (spiritual fathers and mothers, pastors, husband, parents, boss, etc) with reverence (without them I cannot survive physically and progress spiritually: Eph. 6: 1-3) and thirdly, to those I am in authority over (flock, wife, children, servants, etc.) with meekness (without them I cannot progress spiritually or physically: Eph. 4: 16) when what they say is in line with the word of God and will of God but it is inconvenient for my pride and feelings making me lower (Phil.2:7) than I think or know I am. I esteem my colleagues as better than myself and maintain an attitude of reverence to those above and meekness to those below me in authority, as well as towards all men, even when I think or know I am right and they are wrong.

Monitor your attitude through out the day. Exercise your heart in honesty by speaking the truth to yourself in your heart and humility by submitting your will to do this truth (Acts 24:16, 2Cor.4:2, Ps.15:2).

Before going to pray to receive the life of God and pray in the Spirit with all types of prayer it is vital to pray for humility, the seven spirits of God (Isa.11:2) and for a heart that loves God. Do this by praying the following prayers:

In Jesus’ Name we have life (visualize the flow of life into you as living water Jn. 4:10, 14).

I choose to fear God (Pr.1:29) so I humble myself by submitting to the will of God even when I don’t feel like it (Phil.2:8) especially in prayer knowing the certainty of His judgement if I disobey (Heb.2:2) and the security of His mercy when I obey (Pro. 28:13; Jas. 2:13); so I have the humility of the mind of Christ ( Phil. 2:5).

Meditate: Think for a short while on what you have just said with a determination to practice it.

Pray in tongues for a short while as above and as you pray, say in your heart and determine to practice what you have just confessed, mentally acknowledging with thanksgiving (Col.4:2) the presence of the three Persons of the God-Head in the air around you (Psalms 16:8). Time: About 1 minute.

In Jesus’ Name we have life (visualize the flow of life into you as living water Jn. 4:10, 14).

Father, please give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation (Eph. 1:17) in the present complete knowledge and spiritual understanding (Col.1:9-11) of You to grow into the perfection and fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:11-15), to walk in love (Phil.1:9; Eph.4:15; 5:2), to watch and pray always (Lk. 21:36): to make me as wise as a serpent, as harmless as a dove (Matt.10:16) and as bold as a lion (Pro.28:1) and give me the ability of the mind of Christ (1Cor.2:16) in Jesus Name.

Meditate: Think for a short while on what you have just said with a determination to practice it.

In Jesus’ Name we have life (visualize the flow of life into you as living water Jn. 4:10, 14).

I love God with all my heart: will, mind, emotions and strength (Mk.12:30); and I love my brethren as Christ loves them (Jn.13:34): washing their feet (Jn.13:14-15) by forgiving, confessing and so cleansing their sins (Jn.20:23; 1Jn.1:9), asking life for them (1Jn.5:16) and praying for them in tongues frequently (1Cor.14:18; Jude 20) at least once every six hours (2Sam. 6:13, Mk.13:35) and at every opportunity and in every temptation to cover for every hour through out the day, to help them repent to will and do of God’s good pleasure (Phil.2:13, Heb. 13:21).

Meditate: Think for a short while on what you have just said with a determination to practice it.

WORSHIP

Step 3a: LIFE AND POWER SCRIPTURES

The life of God is the spiritual substance inside God that makes Him God (Jn.5:26). It is also called living water (Jn.4:10, Rev.22:1). It contains His attributes: power, love, wisdom etc. It is important before we do in-depth praying in the Spirit to ensure that the abundance of our heart (Lk.6:45) is full of the life and power of God (Eph.5:18), Jn.6:63). This is similar to filling the tank of your car with petrol to ensure you can complete the trip.

Father, give life to our spirits now and that in a measure that is more than enough to enable us pray effectively and fervently as we pray now for our Nation Nigeria, as we pray with all kinds of prayer in the Spirit, to generate and to release more than enough of the power of God.

To cause those currently in positions of authority, leadership and influence to be given present, complete knowledge, understanding, wisdom, skill, divine guidance, strength and ability, favor with God and men, material and financial resources in abundance to rule and reign well, justly and in the fear of God, over the affairs of this Nation, so that we God’s people in this land, will continue to lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty, in particular to cause peaceful resolutions of present issues of national tension and danger, such as the Resource Control issue, the Niger Delta issue, election issues and terrorism issues.

Step 4: Prayer in the Spirit with all types of prayer

(1 Timothy 2:1-4; Ephesians 6:18; Hebrews 5:7)

(35-40 minutes.)*

In Jesus’ Name we have life.

Holy Spirit, please pour afresh on me the spirit of grace, travail and compassion enabling me to pray with all types of prayer in the Spirit as I pray now. Dear Lord Jesus, in this regard, please release Your grace; dear Heavenly Father, please release Your mercies, as I pray now in Jesus’ name. (It is vital to acknowledge the three Persons of the Godhead, in this way so your prayer will not be dull and mechanical, but refreshing.)

Proceed to pray with all types of prayer in the Spirit.

Step 5: Binding the Devil (Matthew 12:29) (1min)*

At the end of all the praying in the Spirit, we replenish our hearts with the life of God. This is like refilling the tank of a car with petrol after a long journey.

Then pray:

In Jesus’ Name we have life (visualize the flow of life into you as living water Jn. 4:10, 14).

Father, give life to our spirits now and that in a measure that is more than enough to bind the devil, loose the angels, confess the word and pray in the Spirit concerning this prayer request in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

In Jesus’ Name we have life.

Wicked spirits in the heavenlies and in the earth that we have overcome during this time of prayer, we destroy your works, resist and bind you in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Step 6: Loosing the Angels in the Understanding (Matthew 18:18) (1 minute)*

Pray and say:

In Jesus’ Name we have life.

We loose the angels of God with the seven spirits of God: the spirit of the fear of God, of knowledge, understanding, wisdom and revelation, counsel, might and the spirit of love to go forth now in the name of Jesus to occupy the air and so enforce and execute God’s perfect will concerning our prayers in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Step 7: Confession of Faith to Bring the Answer into Physical Manifestation (Mark 11:23; Romans 10:10) (1min)*

In Jesus’ Name we have life.

God’s perfect will concerning our prayers is established and in full physical manifestation in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

In Jesus’ Name we have life.

All the people and groups of people God is using to answer our prayers have the mind and ability of Christ, are meek and lowly in heart, redeeming the time and are temperate and protected from death in this regard in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pray in tongues for a short while (about 1 minute) and as you pray, say in your heart and determine to practice what you have just confessed, mentally acknowledging with thanksgiving (Col.4:2) the presence of the three Persons of the God-Head in the air around you (Psalms 16:8).
