Pray For Peace In Our Cities!

Pray For Peace In Our Cities!

…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working] (James 5:16 AMP).

From our opening scripture, it’s evident that you can change anything through prayer, because the divine power necessary to cause that change is in you; it was deposited in you the moment you received the Holy Spirit into your life: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” (Acts 1:8) Through prayer, we can activate the power of God and effect changes in the realm of the Spirit. We can bring that power to bear on situations and circumstances we want changed.

For example, we can put a stop the recurrent spate of wars, natural disasters and violence that result in wanton destruction of lives and property as experienced in many parts of the world today. Through our effectual, fervent prayers, we can implant lasting peace in war-torn, disaster-ravaged and terrorism-prone countries in our world. We’ve been mandated to do this: “And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace” (Jeremiah 29:7).

Consequently, the onus is on us to seek the peace of our cities. We’re to pray to the Lord for it. You should pray today, and for as long as it takes for peace to mantle the nations of the earth and rule the hearts of men all over the world. Pray fervently in other tongues and declare that God’s angels of peace are released into every hitherto troubled region in the earth, to cause the peace of God to garrison the hearts of men and women domiciled therein.

With authoritative words, rebuke satanic forces and break the stronghold of evil, wickedness and violence over the Middle East and Gulf Region. Declare that satan’s dominion over Europe, Asia, the Americas and other parts of the world, and his desire to foment and insight nations to war is broken! Affirm that his manipulative tendencies to lure men into acts of terrorism are thwarted.

Set yourself to pray like this often – earnestly, fervently, passionately and intensely for peace on earth, and there’ll surely be greater peace and prosperity all over the globe.

Prayer
Dear Father, your Word reveals Christ as the only hope for peace in the earth, for His birth brought peace on earth and goodwill to all men. I pray for the impact and greater influence of that peace in the hearts of men today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
