Sudan needs our prayers tomorrow

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:16

Tomorrow, the country of Sudan will vote on whether to remain one country or split into two. The mainly Christian South favors. There have been many threats of violence from militant Muslim groups if the vote is for separation. Please pray for them. 

WE PRAY FOR:

• every knee to bow and every tongue confess throughout Sudan that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of the Father. (The Bible, Philippians 2:10,11)
• the Christian Believers in Sudan to overcome satan by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, not loving their lives to the death. (The Bible, Revelation 12:11)
• unity in the Body of Christ in Sudan. Pray for Christian leaders to work and pray together, and for Believers to encourage and support each other.
• divine boundaries and borders to be established. Pray for the laws of the Kingdom of God to govern all activities within Sudan - North and South. (The Bible, I Chronicles 4:10; Psalm 147:14; Matthew 6:10)
• evil plans by the Muslim Brotherhood (violence) and President Omar al-Bashir (Shari'a law) to be overthrown by the Commander of the Army of the Lord. Pray for every person to know that the Lord God Almighty has fought on behalf of Sudan. (The Bible, Matthew 16:19, Joshua 5:13)
• the King of glory - Jehovah-Gibbor - to "contend with those who contend with" Christian Believers in Sudan. (The Bible, Psalm 24:8; Psalm 35:1)
• the Lord to expose the lies of the enemy and lift the false burdens of heaviness and oppression from Christians in Sudan. Pray for the Lord to sustain them. (The Bible, Psalm 12:5; Psalm 3:5)
• the Lord to give President Salva Kiir (South) wisdom in directing the people under his authority. Ask for the Holy Spirit to guide and direct his administration.
• the spirits of confusion, violence, chaos and panic to be bound. Ask the Lord to release peace, hope, joy and love in Sudan. Petition the Lord to remind Christians of their spiritual authority against satanic plots, ploys and strategies - that greater is He who lives in the Christians in Sudan than any evil force who stands against them. Pray for an outpouring of His Holy Spirit on this nation. (The Bible, Matthew 16:19; I John 4:4; Acts 2:17)
• the Lord to send His warring angels to protect Christians in Sudan and to solidly defeat all demonic forces coming against them.(The Bible, Psalm 27 and Psalm 91)
• the Lord to send His terror against evil men and women who are doing satan's will. Ask the Lord to send His whip from heaven to stop all evildoers. Let the fear of Jehovah fall upon the land of Sudan(The Bible, Psalm 9:20; Isaiah 10:26; Psalm 96:4)
• demonic and satanic plots to be aborted. Pray for every attempt to steal, kill and destroy to fail.(The Bible, John 10:10)
• the Lord to post watchmen who will take their positions on the wall day and night, giving Him no rest until Sudan becomes a nation that turns away from all gods and serves the Living Christ. (The Bible, Isaiah 62:5-7)
• the abundant life of Jesus Christ to reach every part of Sudan. Pray for multitudes of Muslims to put their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. (The Bible, John 10:10; I Timothy 2:1-4)
