President Barack Obama announced to Congress his decision to send about 100 U.S. troops to central Africa to help battle a rebel group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army. We have prayed much for the destruction of the Lord’s Resistance Army on this blog.
I don’t often address Satan in spiritual warfare prayers, but Psalm 149 teaches us that it is our honor to execute the Lord’s judgment. This is a previous spiritual warfare prayer.–JW
We praise You, Lord, and rejoice in Your glory. We speak new prayers and sing new songs in adoration. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. You will beautify the meek with salvation.
Who is President Joseph Kony that he should indiscriminately slaughter Your children? Who defies the living God by using His name in the service of death? The LRA has abducted, enslaved, raped, maimed, and killed Your children.
Let the high praises of You be in our mouths and the two-edged sword of Holy Scripture in our hands.
God has exalted Jesus to the highest place and given him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee must bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
We who believe in Jesus Christ exercise our authority to establish God’s kingdom on earth. We declare to all the mountains and obstacles that block the dismantling and dissolution of the Lord’s Resistance Army, “Become a plain.”
Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil. We say, “Devil, get under our feet and crawl on Your belly. Eat our dust because that is the only thing you are allowed to eat. We bind Your rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms with chains and fetters of iron.”
Oh, Lord, it is Your good pleasure to give gifts to Your children. You want us to ask and seek. Withdraw Your sword from its scabbard and command it to destroy this evil stronghold.
Take pity on Your children. Take pity. Amen.
Psalm 89:14; 149; Jeremiah 47:6-7, Philippians 2:9-11, 1 John 3:8, Genesis 3:14, Luke 11:9-10
