Lord, we recognize that without You, our world, our nation, and our communities are without direction, hope, and peace. We appeal to You, the Prince of Peace, to blanket our nations with Your Presence and diffuse the plans of strife directed by man.

On June 21st we are calling intercessors to join together to pray for peace.

Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Over 1,000 days of war between Russia and Ukraine. Recent flashpoints between Iran and Israel. Tensions heightening between Taiwan and China. The world is raging, full of conflict, full of man’s plans, full of a need for an increase of the Presence of God. On every continent. Over every nation. In every heart. Intercession brings our listening spirits before the Holy Spirit so we can align our intercession with the Father. In a world growing darker, there is potential for the Church to bring the light of His Presence to such a degree that it captures the notice of those in authority in our world.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

NATO is set to meet on June 24-26 in The Hague, the Netherlands, gathering with heads of state of NATO member countries, as well as partner nations and representatives from the European Union. This summit will bring decision points and strategies for the defense of NATO nations, world security issues, alliances, and the action that may result. Our intercession at this day and hour is crucial. These NATO decisions at this critical time could impact the state of our globe. 

A coalition of intercessory leaders from across the globe is leading a unified time of prayer under the organizational leadership of Intercessors for America and Intercessors for Ukraine. This day of intercession was in the works when the Holy Spirit directed IFU Director Vitaliy Orlov to call the intercessors for prayer–and well before the latest bombings between Israel and Iran. The internal strife with the protests and violence in our own nation recently has Americans feeling the need for a spiritual intervention. IFA’s Dave Kubal agrees that this need for this day of intercession is Spirit-led. “The Lord has been putting on my heart the vital significance of the times we are in, the need for supernatural wisdom for our leaders, and the critical position the Church is in to be able to bring solutions that can shift the atmosphere in our world. Intercession is the most effective way to bring our nation and world back into alignment with the plans of God.”

A scriptural prayer guide, a time of worship, and the unified time of intercession is one way we have to walk out the verse in Isaiah 60,  “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
