Father, we praise You; You are the God of Israel; You are Jehovah Shalom, the God of Peace; You are Jehovah Magen, our Shield. I pray, Jehovah Shalom over Israel, that Your shalom would fall, that is unlike any other; and I pray, Jehovah Magen, that, God our Shield, over Israel — would You be their Shield, O Father?
Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider; Lord, would You provide for Israel in our absence? If we won’t, You will. Lord, I don’t want to see America lose out on the blessing. And even more, I don’t want to see America suffer from the consequences of the cursing. So, O God, we pray for Your provision for Your people.
And Father, You are Jehovah Rapha, our Healer. And so, Father, I pray for Your healing; I pray for Your healing right now for the 241 hostages, some of whom are Americans. Lord, if they’re forgotten by our administration, You haven’t forgotten them. We haven’t forgotten them. And so, we stand in the gap as proxies, and right now we pray that the captives would be set free, in Jesus’ name.
We pray that they would be made invisible to the enemy. We pray that You would throw open the doors of the jail cells, supernaturally. We pray that You would cause the chains on their hands, on their feet, on their necks to fall, supernaturally. We pray that You would send Your seraphim and Your cherubim into those tunnels and give Your balm of Gilead and Your mercy and grace to those hostages: to the elderly; to those who are sick; to those who are wounded; to the babies missing their mother and their father; to the young girls for whom unspeakable acts have probably been done against their bodies — O God, we pray even now that You would extend grace and mercy and healing to everyone! But Lord, just as You write our names on the palm of Your hand, the name of every hostage is upon Your hand.
And I pray that You would not allow this demonic death cult to hold these innocent people anymore. And I ask, O God, that whatever power they derive from Satan himself, You would cut that power, in Jesus’ name! You are the God who strikes, and we ask that You would cut that demonic power; whatever stronghold Satan has over this, we call it to naught, now, in the name of Jesus!
Lord, the innocent blood that was spilt is crying from the ground. And so, we proclaim the blood of Jesus Christ over this matter and that there will be no hurt, no pain, that this blood cannot heal. And so, we thank You now, God.
And I pray that You would speak to our president, Joe Biden; I lift him up to You. I pray for him, O God. I pray for Joe Biden; I pray for Secretary of State Blinken; I pray for the House; I pray for the Senate; I pray for the State Department, the whole bureaucracy — that they would all come into alignment with Your Word, and that they would surrender, Lord, that they wouldn’t even know why they’re making the decisions they are, but that for Zion’s sake, for Jerusalem’s sake, they would make decisions in honor and glory to Your Word.
O Father, You hear us now in this moment; You are for Your people, and You hear us! We cry out as we repent for this nation and what this nation has done to contribute to this effort. We thank You; we praise You; we glorify You; we say and shout Your name to the heavens: O Jehovah, Righteous Judge! Mighty Deliverer! Savior! Counselor! Healer! Alpha! Omega! Beginning! End! Come quickly, Lord Jesus! Amen! Amen! Amen!
