Praying for National Deliverance from deceiving Spirits

An Intercessors for America (IFA) prayer Guide

1. Personally pray God would reveal the truth to you. Scripture is clear. There is a structured authority of spiritual forces attempting to bring us into captivity. The power of God is more than able to protect us from these forces and to reveal the truth of circumstances to us. We can choose to cooperate with the work of the Spirit, who leads us into all truth (Jn 16:13).

2. Fast and pray for our nation. Daniel provides a great example for us as we pray for our nation. In Daniel 10:2, we read that he was greatly concerned about the nation he lived in, so he fasted (the original Daniel Fast) and prayed:

I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. For an extended period of prayer and fasting, he saw no results. Then he experienced breakthrough. An angel appeared before Daniel (verses 12-13 and 18-19)

A method to pray for nations

1. Set your heart to understand God’s ways 2. Humble yourself before God 3. Fast. (IFA Founder Derek Prince taught that fasting is one of the ways to humble yourself before God.)

4. Pray with perseverance 5. Receive strength from the Lord

3. Pray for release from the spirits that desire to control. As we pray for protection, individually and for our nation as a whole, let’s pray for the release from the deceiving spiritual powers that would desire to control.

4. Fuel your mind with God's truth that displaces deception. think ballot harvesting come our way. Speak the truth. Proclaim the scriptures that defeat the lies and deception we see around us. There is power in proclaiming Gods's Word aloud.

Remember to suit up daily with the armor of God, as Ephesians 6:11-18 tells us to do.
