PRAYER FOR THE GREAT STATE OF TENNESSEE

OH BLESSED LORD GOD, ADONAI, THE SOVEREIGN KING OF THE UNIVERSE, FATHER GOD, in the name of JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth, we pray for Your Sovereign Power, Rule and Reign for the great State of Tennessee. We ask that you release YOUR Divine Mercy, Wisdom, Integrity, Justice, Goodness, Holiness, Anointing, Purity, Love, Joy, Peace, Discernment, Truth, Favor, Righteousness, Forgiveness, Compassion, Tenderness and Grace to the leadership and people of Tennessee. FATHER, we pray for a heart of equality, kindness, gratefulness, repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation among the people of Tennessee. FATHER, in the name of YESHUA, OUR MESSIAH, we ask that the Commanded Blessing of the LORD GOD to be in the land and people of Tennessee and that the resurrection power of YESHUA, OUR RISEN SAVIOR be perpetually released throughout the state bringing forth YOUR GLORY! YOUR KINGDOM! YOUR LIGHT! YOUR LOVE and EVERLASTING LIFE! FATHER. We pray that every portal in the heavens and earth would be sealed by the blood of YESHUA according to YOUR times, plans and purposes. We pray that YOU would release more angels to guard and protect all that belongs to YOU in heaven and earth. Many of YOUR own in the State of Tennessee are praying for the city of Nashville to become known as Worship City USA and we agree with that prayer in the name of JESUS. FATHER, we rejoice at the change in the spiritual atmosphere over Tennessee as YOUR intercessors pray with extreme faith of YOUR goodness. We pray that every place of worship will be a place that worships the One True GOD in spirit, liberty and in truth. We ask for YOUR River of Peace, Holiness, Purity and Joy to flow through the land and the hearts of the people. We ask that, YOUR Kingdom come and YOUR Will be done in Tennessee and that YOU graciously release YOUR abundant joy, healing songs, and restoring love through Tennessee. We release a spirit of reverence and fear of the MOST HIGH GOD throughout the State of Tennessee. LORD GOD, we pray for the atonement, anointing and resurrection power of YESHUA, OUR KING over the State of Tennessee. Amen!
