Friend, are you indignant about the multiple invasions of sovereign American airspace that we have seen lately? You should be. It is unconscionable for one nation to presume it can invade the sovereign airspace of another — and then for the invaded nation to do practically nothing about it. Yet, that is exactly the situation we have seen lately on multiple occasions with Chinese balloons and other unidentified flying objects.

The devil may be the prince of the power of the air, but JESUS is greater. The heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to Him. God and God alone sits on the governmental center of the universe, and He can easily protect us and defend our airspace if we remember to pray for Him to do so!

If you are incensed about the purposeful military invasions of our airspace that we have seen recently, I invite you to pray with me today.

Let’s pray this simple prayer together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You in Jesus’ name.

Father God, You see how American airspace has been penetrated recently. You see how balloons and even unidentified objects have been allowed to have free flight over our skies. We don’t know the details of all these things, but they are unacceptable to us as citizens of a sovereign nation.

Therefore, Lord, we ask today in Jesus’ name that You would protect and defend our American skies:

• We ask that You would send and station angels around our American borders, both in the air and on the ground.
• We pray that those angels would link arms and form a hedge of protection around American skies, not allowing any evil thing to pass through that hedge of protection.
• We ask also that You would defend our airspace personally, and that from now on You would not allow any evil foreign thing to enter American airspace.
• When spiritual force is necessary, we ask You to hear and remember our prayers and to send Your power and might to protect our skies.
• If military intervention is necessary, we ask that You would awaken our politicians and military commanders and cause them to intervene with appropriate military might according to Your plan.

Father, we ask also that You would give American politicians, intelligence officers, and military chiefs a spirit of valor. We ask that You would rise up in them with a holy indignation that says: “This shall not stand. This shall not happen on my watch.” And we pray that You would restore sovereignty to us in our own land and airspace through Your wisdom.

Thank You, Lord God of heaven and earth. We praise You. We know that the devil may be the prince of the power of the air, BUT YOU are so much greater than he is — and the skies belong to You.

You are truly Lord of heaven and earth. You are God, whose throne is the governmental center of the universe, and You can and will easily overwhelm and destroy every evil plan the enemy makes for our American airspace. We ask You to do that, and we thank You in advance for hearing and answering our prayers. We give You all the praise. In Jesus’ name, amen.
