Flag This PrayerDear Lord, you are sovereign over all things. We pray for those individuals in leadership in our state and local governmental roles. Anoint them with your spirit of TRUTH, Conviction, Repentance, and that there hearts would be touched by the gentleness of your Holy Spirit. We know that it can be done, as we saw with the transformation evidenced in the Apostle Paul. That these leaders would be convicted to return to the moral principles based on the Bible to run our government and society. For we know when the moral base is removed from society what is left is a government based society whose programs are what people rely on. Wake up the church to return to being a church led by your Holy Spirit vs. what the government/society tells them to do. We know that your armies of angels are there protecting your children as we go through these changed times. We call upon you to HELP your people through these changed times. Show us how to go out and be salt and light in the midst of this turmoil. We claim you as our "Our mighty Fortress,... Our Helper amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing". Change the hearts of our leaders back to you, the Victorious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Help us through this time to remember you ARE the Victor in the end. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen

Flag This PrayerLord I pray today for senators Duckworth and Durbin. Lord, we need your divine intervention to change their hearts so that they can see the fraud and injustice that these bills are bringing to American. Lord I ask your Holy Spirit to open their eyes so that they vote to keep the Filibuster, they reject the "Equality Act" that has nothing to do with equality and will take away our religious freedom to worship you openly. I pray you give them courage today to reject the "For the People" bill which legalizes fraud. Lord, you hate fraud and injustice. Please do what only you can do and turn this thing around. We worship only you and we are asking you to clean up our state and our country so that we have righteous leaders in the land and we can live peaceful lives. We look to you as our redeemer and provider. Lord hear our prayer for mercy and miracle. In the name of Jesus, the one who so wonderfully intercedes on our behalf day and night. Amen.

I thank you for the love you have so freely poured out over and over again and for the mercy you have shown your people in the past. I ask you now to forgive us and pour out your mercy once again. Today I ask that you deal directly with Senator Durbin as he has taken a leading role in legalizing illegal election policies, support of abortion, misleading gender laws and so many other laws of "man". Lord, you hate deceit and injustice. You hate arrogance and pride. Please forgive me for my lack of prayer in the past for our government leaders. I am now asking you to visit and save all those in power that can be saved and to remove and silence those that refuse to hear you voice and accept your salvation and truth. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus,. and for this love. Jesus, please continue to intercede now on the behalf of Illinois citizens as well as all Americans.

Flag This PrayerLord, I magnify the name of the Lord Jesus above all other names. You are king of kings and Lord of lords and I declare your lordship over all of Illinois. I declare and decree our homes and communities to be a dwelling place for the presence of God. I use Zachariah 2:5 which says "and I myself will be a wall of fire around it declares the Lord and I will be its Glory within". we bought our hearts before you Lord this day and we intercede and repent for the sins of our state. We asked you to forgive our sins and cleanse Illinois from all unrighteousness. We asked for a Divine visitation of the holy spirit in Illinois and may our state as a whole turn to you Lord.. we plead the blood of Jesus over Illinois and declare and decree that Jesus is Lord over this state.. we take authority over every negative word or witchcraft prayer that has been spoken over Illinois and we declare them null and void today in Jesus name...we declare the blood of Jesus over our borders and City Gates and we ask you Lord to send your warring angels to surround our borders and keep out all evil and those with evil intent. May those involved in drugs, trafficking, greed and pride in other evils be cast out today in Jesus name. Lord there is a spirit of idolatry that is being disguised as social justice. It is that Spirit of Babylon it is nefarious, insidious, an evil plot that is being masked as something else. It is a spirit that calls evil good and good evil and as it says in Isaiah 5:20 "woe to those who call evil good and good evil, that puts darkness for light and light for darkness, that puts bitter for sweet and Sweet for bitter". Lord we can't be right without righteousness and we can't achieve wholeness without Holiness. Help us to distinguish between things that just look right and things that are of your righteousness.... Lord cleanse our hearts and renew our minds to know your word and your will for this state. Father remove the scales from citizens eyes to see the truth, the truth that brings righteousness and holiness... In Jesus name I pray amen and amen.

And He awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” (Mark 4:39-40) We raise our voices above the demonic storms and winds of witchcraft over this nation and say, “Peace, Be Still!” We declare the supremacy of the One who created the winds and the waves and reigns forevermore as the Prince of Peace. Knowing their power is beneath us, we speak in faith to the storms and declare that we will not be hindered in getting to the other side of our victory! We declare calm and stillness over the waves as the GOD OF PEACE CRUSHES satan beneath our feet.

Flag This PrayerFather of creation, we praise you for guiding us toward truth. You are Holy and righteous, faithful and trustworthy. We know there is nothing impossible for You. We can't survive the onslaught of spiritual darkness and the evil of the unseen world that has revealed itself in the visible world without You. In the name and power of Jesus who won the battle on the cross and rose from the grave and now lives at Your right hand, we ask for Your help. We stand in the gap praying for the people of ILLINOIS and their leaders. Have mercy on them, O God, according to Your loving kindness; according to Your great compassion, blot out their transgressions. Wash them clean of their iniquity and cleanse them of their sin. For they know their transgressions and their sin is always before them. Against You, and You alone have they sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, ... (Psalm 51) We bind tyranny and terrorism, lawlessness and anarchy, sedition and treason, intimidation, oppression, rebellion, chaos, disorder, and bedlam in the name of King Jesus. We loose freedom, law and order, righteousness, fairness, justice, respect, kindness, joy, peace, decency, understanding, wisdom, longsuffering, and love over our nation. We pray as this force of darkness diminishes that You will fill the void with Your Kingdom of love and unity. We declare Your plan and purpose over ILLINOIS and release faith over every city, town, village and in every church, school, business and home. We declare that every heart would break for what breaks Your heart and every person would fall to their knees and repent for their lack of action regarding Your plan. We ask Your children awaken to their responsibilities, and that You grant wisdom to each of Your children as they wake to Your calling. Hear our cry O Lord and attend unto our prayer for we cry out to You regarding the lies that have been poured out over our world like glue. These lies have blinded and numbed Your people to the truth and have brought fear and confusion. We ask for Your intervention so that TRUTH would be revealed. (Proverbs 12:22) I submit these requests in the name of Jesus Christ, Your son and our Lord! Amen

Flag This PrayerFather God, thank you for the opportunity to pray for ILLINOIS and its Senators, Representative, Governor and his administration. We pray that all these people in government to draw close to You God. To know You. Because Proverbs 9:10 said: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." The duties of the Democratic Party are to support minority, women's right, environment, progressive reforms. However, they have forgotten how to play fair. They have put their agenda before PEOPLE. They do whatever it takes to advance their agenda including supporting BLM, ANTIFA etc of Marxism teaching. Since President Trump won the election, the Democratic Party have not been supportive to build America and its people . Their insubordination divide this country. Therefore Father, if You will, please allow Hawaii to be red state with conservatives value whose allegiance is to God, put American (People) first then do the Constitution. Father God, please rewrite the Democratic Party agenda / duty to include putting American people FIRST. Though I applauded their unity among the party. I pray that the Republican Party will be as united as them. Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." In Jesus' Name, I pray that ILLINOIS will be a RED STATE. So that Republican Party can to their job to protect the right of the people as it is intended when it was created in 1854. Father God please raise up Christian men and women to be like Daniel who dare to stand for what is right to REPLACE Senators, Representative, Governor and his administrations. These Christian men and women will have no corruption in them because they are trustworthy, not corrupt, nor negligent. They will not bow before any the idol in the form of money, power, fear and influence. They will stand firm and speak the truth in love. They are the righteous whose allegiance only to KING JESUS. Just as Jesus spoke to the nonproducing fig tree and it dried up from the roots, we speak to the resources of those who work evil in our government and command their money, communication, and alliances to dry up from the roots. In Jesus' name, please clean up corruptions in every level of the government. Thank You Father for leading the election of 2016. We ask you again Father that You put Your hands in this 2020 election so that elections to be fair, honest and without corruption. Father, please mobilize the Body of Christ from every corner of ILLINOIS to vote in person this Nov. 2020, to vote for President Trump so that he will be given a landslide winning and bless P Trump with all republicans conservatives administrations who will put You first and always pray for Your guidance to run this country to go back to the beginning when the founder of America made a covenant with You. I pray that the Body of Christ will exercise their right to be SALT and LIGHT of the world and be involve, more engage in government not only electing but working in the government to ignite America under God. May the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all from today onward. Hear our cry, O Lord, and attend unto our prayers as we pray for turnaround in America, ONE state at a time. In Jesus' name we thank You. Amen.
