I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all
men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness
and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all men to be
saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-4)

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
(Psalm 24:9)

And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not
be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this
day, to observe and to do them: (Deuteronomy 28:13)

And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of
the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as
the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the
LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. (1 Samuel 15:22-23)

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
(Proverbs 21:1)

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are
ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that
resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt
thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
(Romans 13:1-3)

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Servants, be obedient to them that are your
masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with
eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will
doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: (Ephesians 6:1 & 5-7)

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Children, obey your parents in all
things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the
flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
(Colossians 3: 18, 20, & 22)

And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and
admonish you; and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among
yourselves. (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13)

The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ,
and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the
oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as being
lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock. (1 Peter 5:1-3)

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity,
in spirit, in faith, in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12)

Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed,
and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever
ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them (Mark 11:22-24).

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But without faith it is
impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of
them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:1, 6).

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7).

For with God nothing shall be impossible (No Word from God shall be void of the power it takes to bring it to
pass – Amplified Bible). . . . Behold the servant of the Lord; be it unto me according to Thy Word.
(Luke 1:37-38)

Praying for People in
Leadership

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God
(Romans 10:17). It is our faith that pleases and therefore
moves God when you pray.

In order to pray for anyone in authority at any level in any
arena of life, read these Scriptures aloud and pray them
daily, believing God to fulfill His Word according to 1 John
5;14-15.
