We Are The People

2 Kings 10:5  And he who was in charge of the house, and he who was in charge of the city, the elders also, and those who reared the sons, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, we will do all you tell us; but we will not make anyone king. Do what is good in your sight.”

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.

It seemed that Jehu had captured the hearts of many in Jezreel.  Let’s follow the story line and see how far they were willing to go with Jehu.

Prayer Focus #1 The city leaders and mentors of the sons of Ahab said, “We will be your servants.”  Jehu said, “with your lips you serve me but your heart is far from me.”  Pray tonight that there will be true servants among America’s leaders especially those who use their mouth to gain trust from those they serve.  Actions speak louder the Apostle James wrote.

Prayer Focus #2  The men of the city said, “we will do everything you say except…”  Jesus told  the rich young ruler there is only one thing you lack.”  Because of that one thing the young man chose not to follow Christ.

Pray that the leadership of America will be willing to let go of those “one things” that prevent them from being godly leaders we so desperately need today.

Prayer Focus #3  The men of the city refused to make a person king from among the 70 sons of Ahab. The men said, “Do what is right in your eyes, Jehu.”  During the time of the Judges in Israel, that is the way the nation existed.  People did what was right in their own eyes, the nation  got in trouble, then God would raise up a judge like Gideon or Deborah, etc.

Pray that the leaders in America will have cooperative support in the House and Senate to do what is spiritually and morally right for America or may there be justice through judges in the land as it was in the times of the Judges in Israel.
