40 Days of Praying in Unity for the Nation -
September 25 through Election Day, November 3

“Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.”
(Philippians 2:2; NASB)
When we look around America today, we know that we are in a crisis; we’ve reached a tipping point. In the last election, many Christians got out and voted; however, many spiritual leaders across this nation have been saying one thing: "We're concerned the church has gone back to sleep." I know some of you have a similar concern in your heart.
Our national elections are coming up. The Christian turnout for these elections will reveal whether we are truly going to be able to turn the nation and fully establish cords of righteousness, or if we're going to slide backward.
I want to encourage you. If you believe that abortion is sin, and if you believe that the blood of more than 60,000,000 aborted babies is crying out from the ground of the United States, would you get out and vote? If you believe that human trafficking, sex trafficking, and child exploitation must be abolished, and that we could do it in our generation, would you get out and vote? If you knew the racial divide could be healed a little deeper, would you pray, and would you vote?
I'm asking you to do both—pray and vote. Pray and act. I'm asking you to join us, as we prayer walk America, as we cry out for the nation. We know that God wants to do extraordinary things through our prayers. If we will pray, God will act.
We have developed this very important website called “Pray in Unity.” Here, you can sign up to adopt your block in prayer. You will also find daily devotions covering all kinds of topics related to the future of a nation that acknowledges God. You can find the Full 40-Day National Prayer Guide here.

It's a 40-day season, beginning September 25 and continuing through Election Day, November 3. You will be praying in unity with thousands of other intercessors from across America. We will be saying as one, "We are asking God to come and hover over America, birthing His purposes in our generation."

Would you join us? Watch with us and Pray in Unity. We'd love for you to participate. Let's turn the tide!

For the future of our nation,
Cindy Jacobs

Again, the prayer guide is HERE.

No to Mail-In Voter Fraud
Father, Your word says, many are the plans in a person’s mind, but only the Lord's purpose will be carried out. We declare this day that mail-in voting will not stand or usurp the integrity of the voting process. The Lord’s purpose for this nation and this election is the ONLY purpose that will stand. 

We say, nothing will be hidden, but that every evil, deceitful plan will come to light, now at this time. 

Your Word says what we forbid on earth has been already forbidden in heaven. Therefore, we   forbid every plan for  mail-in voting and voter fraud that would attempt to change the true vote or outcome of this election. We say it will not stand. We declare that the door THIS DAY to mail-in voting fraud is closed, in Jesus' name.

Proverbs 11:1 says, “The Lord detests the use of dishonest scales, but He delights in accurate weights.” Lord, we know Your plan for this upcoming election is for honest voting and accurate counts Therefore in agreement with Your Word, we declare that there will be no voter fraud and demand an honest election where only true votes will be counted and counted accurately. One vote per person per legal registered voter.

Your Word says, You command the angels charge over us. So we ask You to assign angels to every voting facility, to maintain integrity and honesty in this election. We declare those warring angels will enforce honest and accurate accounts of every single vote. We also pray that they will remove every single fraudulent vote before it is ever counted. Let it blow away in the wind.

The Bible says, if God is with us, who can be against us. We declare today, God, You are with us! You are in this election and You are watching over Your Word to perform it. We further declare JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL and the morally upright will be vindicated this year, in this election, in Jesus’ name as we declare in unity… NO MAIL-IN VOTING! NO ELECTION OR VOTER FRAUD!

To establish the Lordship of Christ and God’s peace on your community, pray for:

Cleansing of any idolatry or double-mindedness: Lord, forgive us for the idols in our land. We confess we have looked to fleshly attractions and entertainment, people of title and fame, and the accumulation of worldly goods instead of You*. Cleanse us for being divided in our hearts and minds and give us an undivided heart that we might serve you wholly and without reserve. Wash us with your Word and give us a new spirit that would cause us to walk in your ways (1 John 2:16; James 1:8; Ezekiel 36:26-27). *Repent of any specific place, person, or thing that has become an idol.

The fear of the Lord to be upon the city: We choose to live in the fear of the Lord and not the fear of man. We pledge, O God, to fear your name above all others and to look to You as the only source of life, liberty, and every good thing. Lord, give us a singleness of heart and action so that we will always fear the Lord for our own good and the good of our children. May the fear of the Lord rest upon our families, our churches, our businesses and schools, our government and every sector of our city so that it may go well with us and that your covenant will stand secure (James 1:17, Proverbs 14:26, Jeremiah 32:38-41, Psalm 25:12-14).

The angelic host to accomplish their assignments: Father, we thank you for the angels that you have sent to aid and assist us in this battle. We ask for and acknowledge their presence in our city to guard, keep, and protect every citizen from harm. We bless their assignments to war against any enemy of the kingdom and to push back the forces of evil on our behalf.  We thank you that this battle is not ours, but Yours. (Psalm 34:7, Psalm 91:11, Hebrews 12:22)

The altar of His presence to be established: Lord, establish our city as a dwelling place of your presence, a light in the darkness, and a refuge for the lost. Raise up prayer and worship altars across our region that will continually offer sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving to welcome your rule and reign on this land. Expose and remove any and every idolatrous place of worship that attracts the darkness and render their altars ineffective and powerless. We dedicate ourselves to daily seek Your face and know your heart for the sake of your kingdom (Ezekiel 37:26-28, Isaiah 66:1, Psalm 27:8).

The peace of the Lord to overshadow the land: We speak PEACE to every storm the enemy tries to stir up and we speak PEACE to every heart that is troubled. We declare our community to be a city of peace and rest and reject and resist any spirit of agitation, fear, or violence that seeks entry. We declare the goodness of God and the rule of heaven to overshadow and displace every work of darkness that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy our faith in God. Greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world. We decree the Prince of Peace as ruler of our land and that the government will rest on His shoulders of which there will be no end (Mark 4:39, Exodus 33:14, Psalm 91:1, Isaiah 9:6)

The establishment of godly leadership: Father, we ask for godly leadership to be firmly established in our community and for every counterfeit, rebel, and traitor to be removed. We ask that those who have been called and appointed for leadership in this hour to be revealed, acknowledged, and affirmed, rightly positioned and placed in the fields you have assigned them. We speak blessing on every shepherd in our city whose heart is fully yielded to You and ask for an increase of grace and favor in their lives. May every sector in our community be influenced and guided by leaders who are fully aligned with your heart and purposes (Exodus 18:21, Proverbs 16:7, Hebrews 13:7, 2 Timothy 2:15).

The wisdom and knowledge of the Lord to be revealed: Lord, give us your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to reveal and expose the hidden things of darkness to bring them into the light. By Your Spirit, teach us your ways to rightly discern between good and evil that we might walk in truth and integrity. Grow us as your sons and daughters to be ambassadors of your kingdom and representatives of heaven. May we operate in increased wisdom and discernment that would attract nonbelievers and demonstrate the power and authority of your kingdom (Daniel 2:21-22, 1 Corinthians 2:7-10).

Father, we declare our community to be under the Lordship of Christ and under the rule of heaven that you might be known and that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that you, alone, are God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

PRAYER POINTS FOR YOUR CITY
October 14, 2019
Lord God, we pray for the peace of our cities.
We are reprinting this article from our archives. Tensions are hot in the country and we are urging intercessors to fortify their own communities in prayer. The following prayer points come from Bowie, Maryland on their website Turn on the Light Bowie. 
from: https://ifapray.org/blog/prayer-points-for-your-city/
 
Pray for Spiritual Awakening in the Churches in your City.
Pray the Scriptural prayers found in Eph 1:15-21, 3:14-21; Phil 1:9-11; Col 1:9-12, 4:12; 1 Thes 3:10-13, 5:23; 2 Thes 1:11-12, 2:16-17, 3:1-5; Phil 4-6; and Heb 13:20-21.
When you pray these Scriptures, insert the name of congregations and assemblies in your city, asking God to bring the fullness of Jesus’ life into the church. Remember the example of Epaphras, a servant of Christ who “wrestled in prayer” for the Christians that lived in three cities – Colosse, Laodicia, and Hierapolis (Col 4:12).

2.  Pray For the Removal of the Spiritual Strongholds of Darkness over your City.
Ephesians 6:12 teaches of the constant spiritual battle in the heaven lies.. actual strongholds that the enemy has over geographic areas. (see also Dan 10:10-13).
Command the “rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world, and the spiritual forces of evil” in the north, south, east, and west of your city to “give up” those people held in spiritual bondage (see Is 43:5,6). Praise the Lord that people will come to Jesus from the four sections of your city. (Lk 13:29)

3.  Pray for the Leadership and Authorities in your City
– such as the Mayor, the City Council, Police Chief, School Board, etc. – 1 Tim 2:1-4.

4.  Ask God to Bless your City.
“Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted” – Proverbs 11:11
The greatest blessing God can send is Jesus Christ, who will turn people from their wickedness, and bring them salvation. – Acts 3:26.

5.  Pray for the Welfare of your City.
“…seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” – Jeremiah 29:7

6.  Pray for the People of your City to Turn to God. 
Remember the Nineveh (read Jn 3:1-10) and Samaria did (John 4:39-42).

7.  Pray for Peace within your City and for the Prosperity of the City. – Psalm 122:6,7

8.  Pray for your City to Support Righteousness and Goodness.
“When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.” – Proverbs 11:10

9.  Pray for your City to be a Testimony of Righteousness. – Matthew 5:14,16

10. Pray that your City would recognize the time of God’s visitation. – Luke 19:41-44

Here's a song published in 1908 that seems so appropriate for our day and age!  The words are a prayer from the heart!

In loving adoration, We come to worship Thee,
Thou author of salvation So wonderful, so free.
Oh, teach us how to praise Thee, As we before Thee stand,
And hear us as we pray Thee To bless our own dear land
.
For millions still in darkness Within this land of light,
For men who’ve wandered blindly From home and God and right,
And those who ne’er have seen Thee, Thou God of love and might,
We earnestly beseech Thee— May they receive their sight.

3 Be Thou our strong defender, Our confidence alone;
Be Thou our country’s ruler, Our nation’s cornerstone;
And thus led by Thy Spirit, And heeding Thy blest Word,
From ocean unto ocean all men shall call Thee Lord!
