"The Strategy God Gave Me for Praying for the President"by Doug Addison, Los Angeles, CA
From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
I am appreciative and beyond GRATEFUL to Doug Addison for exhorting our readers to be PRAYING FOR THE PRESIDENT.
It was a grueling election season and the country remains profoundly divided because of the hard-fought battles. Now that the entire praying Church can see who the president is, it is our responsibility to pray for him.
I was soundly convicted to pray for President Obama through his presidency, according to Scripture. So that is what I did but...I must admit, the last number of months, I let up on those prayers as his term was already over, but I should not have let up at all. We still should be praying for him and his family as well!
In the same way, God has installed President Trump now as the leader of the United States for the next 4-8 years. We must keep him and his family lifted up in prayer. The mistake would be to have prayed him INTO office and yet fail to PRAY HIM THROUGH his presidency. He needs our prayers now more than ever.
But I'll let Doug Addison say it in his words here! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

"The Strategy God Gave Me for Praying for the President"by Doug Addison, Los Angeles, CA
No matter who you voted for in the U.S. elections last November, God wants us to pray for our leaders. The apostle Paul urged us to pray for leaders and he did this during a time when world leaders were not godly. God wants us to pray for leaders no matter what their political party or beliefs happen to be. We need to pray that God's will be done and not our own desires.
"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:1-4 NIV
Pray for President Trump
I have been given a prayer assignment for President Trump and I pray intently for him and his leadership team daily. I had a prayer assignment for President Obama as well. The Bible verse mentioned above urges that we pray for leaders regardless if we agree with them or not. This is important because it allows us to hear God more clearly and align with Biblical principles that will open the heavens over us.
As the weight of the office settles on him, President Trump is under pressure and needs your prayers. He is being refined from a business leader into a President. Like many of us who have gone through promotions, he is in the "fire of the Lord" right now. Whether you agree with him or not, he needs your prayers.
Here is the prayer strategy the Lord gave me:
• Pray that God would surround the President with godly counsel and wisdom.
• Declare only those chosen by God can be placed in leadership positions.
• Ask God to speak to spouses and family members through dreams and revelations. An example of this in the Bible is when Pilate's wife had a dream that helped her husband deal with the crowd concerning Jesus (Matthew 27:19).
• Pray our leaders will call upon godly counsel to help interpret and advise.
• Declare that all demonic spirits and influences will be revealed, and the plans of the enemy will be made known.
• Ask God to bless and protect them.
• I pray this daily for the President and other leaders. I want to encourage you to come into agreement with this.
Prophetic Word for the United States
The Lord gave me this word on the morning of the election (November 8, 2016):
"O America, I still love you and see your zeal for Me. Satan has asked to sift you like wheat and the enemy has been waging war against you. But a remnant is going to arise to possess the land. Your sons and daughters are going to awaken from a sleep and rise up like a mighty army. They will be like David's mighty men (and women). Yes, women! I am moving on women in this hour. I am going to do this and it will bring about great changes that are needed for this time."
This is a time to be in the unity of the Spirit, even if we do not agree on everything in the natural (Ephesians 4:3). It is unity that will reveal and break the plans of the enemy. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)
