“For Such a Time as This!”
Esther 4:14
Pray for the United States of America
‘Pray the States!’
In Esther’s Warriors Ministry, we began in 2012 ‘Praying the States’ for healing for our Nation. Now more than ever before our great United States of America needs focused, dedicated prayer.
We are commissioned as prayer warriors to prayer for those in leadership. This is not about political party. This is about praying for those in authority in this country to have wisdom and discernment.
This country was dedicated to our Lord Jesus Christ for His glory and purpose on April 29, 1607, by Reverend Robert Hunt on the shores of Jamestown, Virginia. In his declaration Reverend Hunt said, “…from these very shores the Gospel shall go forth to not only this New World, but the entire world.” That is our history. It cannot be changed, erased or undone by those who seek our demise.
Now is clearly the time to go before our King with humble hearts and intercede with clear intention for our future. We pray for the safety of our country from all enemies both foreign and domestic!
Queen Esther went before the king to intercede for her people. We go before The King to intercede for our Nation ‘for such a time as this’ (Esther 4:14). We pray for each state in the order of admission to the Union and will continue. Our Nation more than ever needs consistent, diligent prayer cover state by state.
This week please cover Louisiana, admitted to the Union April 30, 1812, in prayer. Pray for wisdom and discernment for the political leaders, pastors and church leaders, the people residing in Louisiana and for all in authority in our Nation.
Each state is important in forming our United States of America. We commit to pray for a different state each week so we not only provide prayer cover for that state but also to make us aware that our country is bigger than the space we personally occupy. These are our United States. Let us pray that we will arise united ‘for such a time as this!’
God promises us in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (Emphasis added) Holding our country in prayer state by state reminds each of us of the importance of seeking God for our safety and future.
United we will stand together in this season of our history. These are our United States. Let us join together that we will arise united ‘for such a time as this!’
In the United States of America let us never forget our true freedom lies in Jesus Christ. All freedom begins there.
Father God, may we ever intercede for the land where You have planted us and pray for those who are in authority over us that they will hear Your voice as they lead this great land.
Your Word says that the nation that does not serve You shall perish. May we, particularly at this juncture in history, turn from all wickedness, humble ourselves before You, pray and seek Your face that You will hear from heaven and heal our land.
This great Nation was dedicated to You, Lord. Let us each renew our dedication to You individually that we may come together corporately “for such a time as this!”
As You gather Your remnant and connect us across all man made limitations, let us honor each other, encourage each other and respond to Your corporate clarion call! We thank You for all nations standing with us and praying for us in this season. We stand united with them for Your glory.
Strengthen us with Your Word. Empower us with Your Spirit. Grace us with Your presence. Anoint us with fire to bring Your Kingdom to earth as it is in heaven.
Give us wisdom and discernment to be Your ambassadors to bring Your Kingdom to earth as it is in heaven “for such a time as this!”
Now is the time. We are your people. Open our ears to hear and follow what the Spirit of the Lord would direct in Jesus’ mighty name.
Amen and Amen.
For It Is Written:
” I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
Please keep our United States Military and their families in prayer. Their life is a life of service and sacrifice to keep us all free and safe.
It Is Never Too Late!
If you have not yet made the decision to accept Jesus Christ into your heart, do it now. Do not wait another minute. Speak to Him from your heart (for it is always a heart issue). Tell Him you have fallen short in your life. Sincerely apologize for your sins. Ask Him to cleanse you and come into your heart and be Lord over your life. From this moment forward, let His Spirit guide you along the narrow road that leads to everlasting life!
