Kingdom Friend,

In the meantime, let’s press into intensifying prayer starting today, Monday, and continuing through Tuesday!

Here are some key prayer points, inspired by 8 Prayers for Truth in the Presidential Debates from Intercessors for America. You can find more details in the full article.

This may feel a little more long-form, but these are the times we have to dig deep!

Let’s agree in heart-felt prayer for the presidential debate on Tuesday, Sept 10!

As we enter the debate season, American voters will have quite a few opportunities for things to come to light that we need to know in order to make informed decisions at the polls. But in this season of exposure and decision-making, there are those who want to deceive the American public.

Nevertheless, it is always God’s will for truth to be revealed.

Jesus Himself is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and it is His will for all people to walk in all aspects of Who He is at all times. Therefore, in order to contend for truth to be revealed, would you join with me and pray the 8 prayers below for truth in the Presidential debates (and all debates)?

⭐️ Prayer 1: Pray that the hidden things would be revealed.

Luke 8:17 tells us that God will reveal absolutely everything eventually. Let’s pray for all needed information to be revealed NOW! For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light (Luke 8:17 NKJV).

⭐️ Prayer 2: Ask the Lord to destroy the unholy unity of any liars that band together to conceal things from the American public.

But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city (Genesis 11:5-8 NKJV).

⭐️ Prayer 3: Pray that the Lord would surround the truthful with favor as with a shield.

Since Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, it is God’s will for truth to be manifested in all situations. So, let’s pray that the Lord would bless and protect the truthful. Pray Psalm 5:12:

For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield (Psalm 5:12 NKJV).

⭐️ Prayer 4: Pray that the Lord would set any liars against one another in confusion, such that both their supporters and their strategies would self-destruct and flee.

So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outpost of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just as they had posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers that were in their hands.

Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers—they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing—and they cried, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!” And every man stood in his place all around the camp; and the whole army ran and cried out and fled.

When the three hundred blew the trumpets, the Lord set every man’s sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath (Judges 7:19-22 NKJV).

If God can make the Midianites turn against each other and flee before 300 men who did nothing but break pitchers, blow trumpets, and shout, He can certainly turn the houses of lying and confusion in America against one another, so that they also flee. Never doubt the power of your prayers!

⭐️ Prayer 5: Ask God to increase the truthful in strength, and to confound all those who side with lies.

But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ (Acts 9:22 NKJV).

⭐️ Prayer 6: Pray that all candidates would speak as the oracles of God.

(Brian here — I love this 👉️) We learned from the story of Balaam (Numbers 22-24) in the Bible that God can change the tongues even of people who set out to speak lies and curses, causing them to speak out truth and blessings instead. Let’s pray that all candidates (and even the moderators) at every debate would speak as the oracles of God, so that the full will of God can come forth at each event.

⭐️ Prayer 7: Ask God to give every candidate the tongue of the learned, and that He would awaken their ears to hear His voice.

Since it’s God’s will for every person to be made like Jesus, we know it is also God’s will for every person to hear His voice and speak His words—even those who don’t know Jesus yet. So, let’s pray that every person would hear the voice of God instructing them and teaching them in the way they should go (Psalm 32:8), and that they would obey Him and speak only words of righteousness.

⭐️ Prayer 8: Pray that there would be no twisting of words; that nothing would be misconstrued or misreported.

The author of the article believes that the leviathan spirit is one of the top 5 evil spirits operating in our nation today. The foul leviathan spirit twists words, misconstrues and misrepresents facts, and brings people under the influence of gaslighting and manipulation. It is an evil thing when truth gets twisted!

To counteract this, pray that the Holy Spirit—Who is the Spirit of Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life—would be manifest. Pray also that every crooked thing would be made straight during these debates.

Father, we believe in our heart that we have received, and we count it done in faith. We are grateful. Amen — may it be established.
