PRAYER CONFESSIONS: https://www.loveministrieslive.com/blog…/prayer-confessions/
WAR WORD FOR TODAY: “Jesus, I plead Your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America.” [This is a 22-word prayer Lou Engle wrote to replace the 22-word prayer the Supreme Court ruled was unconstitutional – the Engle vs. Vitale case of 1962.]
Lord we repent, renounce and break agreement for any place we have knowingly or unknowingly come into agreement with the Kingdom of Darkness – the prince of the power of the air, the political spirit and the religious spirit. Any place that we have empowered darkness in our lives and land. We repent for any place that we have been silent. We repent for idolatry, innocent blood shed, broken covenants, immorality and disobedience to you and your Word. Lord, we respond to your Word today, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”(2Chronicles 7:14; KJV) Hear our prayers, forgive our sin and heal our land in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus we make room for you in our lives, in our land, seed, gates, cities, states and nation – in every sphere of influence and society. We make room for you in our Government and the Supreme Court of the United States of America. We decree today the prince of the power of the air is bound. Lord Jesus we agree with Your Word. The prince of the world is coming and He has no power over me. For the prince of this world now stands condemned. The reason you appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. You have destroyed the power of him who held people in slavery through their fear of death – that is the devil. Today, we acknowledge your Victory, The full power of Your name, the Power and authority of Your Blood and Your Word. We release the vengeance of God and the judgment written against the demonic structures, the prince of the power of the air, the religious and political spirit that has attempted to dominate in this nation and in the church. Expose, uproot, teardown, destroy and completely overthrow these demonic spirits, and stronghold in our lives and land.
“And she gave birth to her Son, her Firstborn; and she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room or place for them in the inn.” (Luke 2;7; AMPC)
John 12:31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
John 14:30 I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;
Ephesians 2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
John 16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
2 Corinthians 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

The Religious Spirit
One of the greatest hindrances you will encounter in your Christian walk is “the religious spirit.” Religious spirits endeavor to interfere with the free flow of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. They can be hard to discern precisely because they are religious; they are pious, even hyper-spiritual. Their influence can pervade a person’s life and church like yeast pervades a lump of dough. That’s why Jesus said, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees” (Matthew 16:6 NASB).
In New Testament times, the Pharisees and Sadducees were the professional religionists. The Pharisees were the watchdogs of religious purity, chastising any Jewish person who transgressed even slightly, promoting the perfectionistic performance of their strict interpretation of the requirements of the law of Moses. The Pharisees and Sadducees did not agree with each other in the details of what constituted true religion, and they competed with each other in zeal. Each held to “a form of godliness, although they…denied its power” (2 Timothy 3:5 NASB).
Generally, the religious spirit promotes a works-based or performance-based lifestyle. Although the cross of Jesus has made performance-based religion a thing of the past, the religious spirit likes to keep it alive so that people will labor under a triple burden of guilt, fear, and pride. Every person on earth rightfully seeks a sense of acceptance, but the religious spirit keeps the ultimate acceptance—God’s—just out of reach.
“The political spirit is an invisible demonic mastermind that strategizes ways to thwart God’s plans; to achieve its corrupt goals, it enters into alliances with religious spirits and institutions often backed by mammon. The political spirit will always try to buy off, corrupt, manipulate, and dominate leaders and groups of people. It mesmerizes people into false loyalties while issuing demands of uniformity through the pressures of fear, shame, and control.”
Prayer of a Discerning Heart
Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name, as an ambassador of Christ, I believe the Holy Spirit has anointed me to be a worshipper of God and a deliverer of men. Anoint me with a higher level of discernment so I can know the motivation of the spirit behind an activity. By the grace of God, I believe that I am receiving an increase of Your revelatory ways in my life. For Your kingdom’s sake, amen!
For Such a Time as This!

Some attributes of a Political Spirit
• It seeks power, often by any means, and makes people ultimately more concerned with winning a seat of power than with providing solutions and caring for people. When it is at work through someone’s life it may present as being caring, and as one that seeks solutions, but its ultimate agenda is power and control.
• It wants to build through laws and bind people to those laws. Some laws are necessary for the safety and wellbeing of society but this spirit will seek to add law upon law in the name of protecting, but its underlying intention is to bind people to law. In Scripture we see this spirit at work in the Pharisees and other religious leaders who added law after law of their own to what God originally gave mankind, until the people were brought into a place of bondage to law. Some Scriptures that show this are Matt 23:4; Acts 15:10; 2 Pet 2:19; Luke 14:1-35.
• One of its goals is to replace diversity with uniformity through the pressures of fear, shame, control and law. It lays down principles as being undeniably true and seeks to squash questions and dissenting opinions. It seeks to displace true governance based on serving and representing the people and replace it with loyalty to a party philosophy, a society in which people are expected to support a party rather than support truth and legitimate answers.
• In an environment where a political spirit has gained control success is measured in terms of reach of influence, visibility, and popularity. In the case of political positions or parties it is also measured in polls and media coverage rather than facing issues and presenting real solutions.
• It seeks to create a culture where we don’t have permission to think for ourselves but rather our decisions become based on our affiliation. It seeks to make people strongly question, and become afraid of, any truth which conflicts with what they believe.
• The political spirit is a prejudicial spirit with strong biases that are based in a strong root of pride. It seeks to prejudice us strongly towards a particular opinion and cause us to take up a very definite bias and set of beliefs, to the point where we are not open to anything that questions that bias. It causes bias to replace objectivity and practical wisdom. It sets us against those who do not believe the same as we do, polarising us and causing us to take sides and form factions, causing an “us vs them” mentality.
Some Scriptures that show this are 1 Cor 1:10-31, 1 Cor 3:3-10
The political spirit always needs an enemy, someone to stand against, and it demonizes anyone who doesn’t agree with it. In other words, someone influenced by a political spirit will not see another person as simply being wrong on an issue, they will view them as evil and an enemy of their cause. This spirit separates people into two categories – winners and losers, those who are right and those who are wrong, those who are in and those who are out, slaves and free etc. The political spirit convinces people to assign the blame for all the problems of society to certain people groups, promoting “isms” – racism, ageism, sexism, etc. When factions are formed the thinking is often along the lines of… “If something agrees with my party’s stance, it’s right; if not, it’s wrong.” “You must align with me or I will distance myself from you and may even despise and vilify you.” In extreme cases a person under the influence of a political spirit will even call into question other Christians’ allegiance and loyalty to Jesus because they have differing beliefs from them on certain subjects. E.g “A real Christian could never vote for….” “That person is evil; if you were a real Christian you would know that”, or statements like, “I thought you were a real Christian.” The word heretic may be bandied about and used to describe anyone who believes differently from us.
Some Scriptures that show this are James 1:26; Rom 14:10-12
The political spirit makes us not care about asking what people actually believe; instead, we assign beliefs and motivations to them that may, or may not, be true, and we do so based on random things like personality, race, comments taken out of context, social media memes, other people’s assessments etc.
• People under the influence of a political spirit feel, and exhibit, a strong stubborn stance over what they believe. Key words trigger a dig-the-heels-in-the-ground stance so that a person cannot see any middle territory, or cannot hear a different viewpoint, or see an in-between perspective. They will become contentious and argumentative and will argue with anyone of a different perspective until they win their point, or until their opponent quits responding. It promotes finger-pointing and mud-slinging. It causes us to operate in a critical and sometimes vindictive spirit, to attack others, to slander them, spread gossip and belittle them to others and ultimately makes us distance ourselves from those we can’t control or bring around to our way of thinking. Some Scriptures that show this are 1 Cor 1:11; Gal 5:19-21)
• It causes us to redefine dishonouring attitudes as being virtuous attributes. Gossip is reframed as sharing necessary facts. Self-righteous anger, and anger because my beliefs are not seen as being the only right ones, gets reframed and called righteous anger. What many Christians call righteous is, in reality, often an anger that springs out of the fear that arises when their beliefs are questioned, or a fear that their perceived rights will be taken away.
• The political spirit wants to lead us into idolizing a particular leader, governmental figure, or party. In the case of Christians it deceives us into replacing Jesus with human saviours. Once we have entered into this idolatry, anytime someone voices a concern that the one we idolize may be wrong in a specific area we get defensive and perhaps abusive in our rebuttal. This idolisation of leaders and parties can happen in relation to both secular and Christian parties running for government. Some Scriptures that show this are 1 Cor 10:14; Acts 14:11-15
• The political spirit blinds our eyes to our favoured leader’s failings. If the person I support is in office then everything they do is seen as being right, whether it actually is or not. Under the influence of a political spirit a person will seek to justify or minimise any wrongs their favoured leader or party does, and their idolisation of a figure will not allow them to admit when they are wrong.
Conversely, the political spirit can also lead us into hating a particular governmental figure or leader, or those that support that person or party. We spend our time criticizing his or her every move. When anyone suggests that we pray for that person instead of criticizing him/her, we make excuses, get defensive or go on the attack. If a leader in office is someone other than my favoured person then they are open game. I dig into “my rights to free speech” and believe that gives me the right to say anything I want about them – forget about love, kindness, mercy, forgiveness etc, they don’t apply to me or this situation; my rights to free speech take pre-eminence above those.
• One of the political spirit’s main goals when it comes to Christians is to divert us from Christ and the gospel, to side-track us onto tangents, to get us to take sides over things, even things that have no eternal consequence. It seeks to use us by taking hold of principles that we deeply subscribe to and twisting them for its own purposes. We bring those twisted beliefs into how we pray and act, firmly convinced that we are on God’s side, when in actuality our understanding may be deeply flawed.
Some Scriptures that show this are Rom 12:2; 1 John 2:15
• It causes us to become hard-hearted. Eph 4:32 tells us, “Be kind to one another, tender-hearted….” The political spirit causes us to put our “convictions” ahead of kindness and tenderness. Mercy and compassion take a lesser place because ‘being right’ becomes paramount.
