We Are The People

2 Kings 9:24-25  Now Jehu drew his bow with full strength and shot Jehoram between his arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he sank down in his chariot. ²⁵ Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him into the tract of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember, when you and I were riding together behind Ahab his father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him:

Good evening and welcome to the Sunday Night Edition of “We are the People” Prayer for America.  Every Sunday we bring together the hearts of intercessors that choose to invest a minimum of 15 minutes in prayers of agreement between the hours of 6:00p.m. and 9:00p.m. using the three focus points listed below as a guide.  May God bless you for your concern for America’s future expressed in prayer tonight.  We encourage you to join us in prayer daily and invite others to join us.

Jehu’s arrow, like David’s smooth stone, “hit the mark”.  As we move into “striking distance” of the General Elections, let us see in these verses what God says and how we can pray effectively for the very important events on Nov. 3  for local and national leaders.

Prayer Focus #1  Jehu put all of his strength into the one shot he had to take out Jehoram.  Pray that candidates with Biblical world views will put all they’ve got into this last stretch of the campaign.  Nothing less will bring them victory and hit the mark in bringing down the heart of the matter once and for all – the anti God voice and persuasion of the enemy.

Prayer Focus #2  Jehu told the captain to pick up Jehoram’s body and throw it in Naboth’s field – dispose of those things that are not profitable to the future of Israel.  Pray that those things that threaten America, our freedom of worship and speech will be put away in a profitable way as a result of the Nov. 3 elections. 

Prayer Focus #3  Jehu told Bidkar the captain, “remember what the Lord said.”  Pray that candidates at all levels of American life will remember the Constitution and the principles of God’s word that will lead us in the direction we need to go in the future.
