3 Prayers for Unreached People

The (name) people who walked in darkness, will
see a great light, and those who dwelt in the land of

Crusaders Church: A House of Prayer for All Nations
•••
I pray that the veil that has covered the (name)
people would be destroyed (Isaiah 25:7) and that they
would turn from darkness to light and from Satan to
You, the Living God (Acts 26:18). I pray that the
Assyrian's yoke would be taken from off of the
(name) people and that the burden would be lifted
from off of their shoulders, for this is Your purpose
for the (name) people and for all of the earth (Isaiah
14:24-17:14).
I pray that You would send forth labourers into
the harvest of the (name) people (Matthew 9:38).
Raise up apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and
teachers for the (name) people. Open up a door of

Prayers for Unreached People
•••
Lord, You have set me as a watchman on the wall
for the (name) people. I will give You no rest until
You establish the (name) people a praise in the earth
(Isaiah 62:6,7). You will watch over Your Word to
perform it concerning the (name) people (Jeremiah
1:12). Your Word will not return void, but will
accomplish that to which it was sent (Isaiah 55:11).
I am Your battle axe, and weapon of war. Through
my prayers, You are breaking in pieces the nations,
and destroying kingdoms. You are breaking in pieces
the horse and his rider, the captains and rulers
(Jeremiah 51:20-23). The demonic kingdoms, captains,
and rulers over the (name) people are being broken in
pieces like a potter's vessel (Psalm 2:9). Amen.
•••
I pray that the (name) people would look unto
You and be saved, for You alone are God and beside
You there is none else (Isaiah 45:22). Make bare Your
holy arm in the eyes of the (name) people, that they
may see Your salvation (Isaiah 52:10). Do a new thing
41

•••
You, O Lord, have formed the (name) people for
Yourself. They shall show forth Your praise (Isaiah
43:21).
I bind the ruling spirits of darkness, that have
ruled over the (name) people, with chains and fetters
of iron (Psalm 149:8). I bind all spirits of witchcraft,
false religion, pride, blindness, deception, death, hell,
and destruction. I execute upon them the judgments
42
Prayers for Unreached People
•••
Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done on
behalf of the (name) people (Matthew 6:10). Deliver
them and purge away their sins for Your Name's sake
(Psalm 79:9). Let the sighing of the prisoner come
before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power,
preserve those that are appointed to die (Psalm 79:11).
Build your Church among the (name) people, and
the gates of hell will not be able to prevail (Matthew
16:18). Go before Your anointed and make the
crooked places straight. Break in pieces the gates of
brass, and cut asunder the bars of iron (Isaiah 45:2).
Open a door of utterance among the (name) people
(Colossians 4:3). Let the Gospel be fully preached
among them with signs following (Romans 15:18,19).
Let Your glory be declared among the (name)
people, and Your wonders among all the (name)
43
Crusaders Church: A House of Prayer for All Nations
•••
I pray that every covenant with hell and every
agreement with death that the (name) people have
made would be disannulled. They will no longer be
able to make lies their refuge or hide under falsehood
(Isaiah 28:15-18). Let all ancient pacts and covenants
with demons be renounced and broken.
Let the children of the (name) people be taught of
the Lord (Isaiah 54:13). Raise up a generation that
would fear Your name and seek Your face (Psalm
24:6). Lord, let the earth be filled with the knowledge
of the LORD as the waters cover the sea (Isaiah 11:9).
Amen.
•••
Hid in Christ, we stand clothed in the full armor
and righteousness of God to pray, travail, and war
against the thrones, dominions, principalities, rulers
of darkness over (name) people. We submit to the
authority, righteousness, and government of God,
and decree this same humility, redemption,
deliverance, and salvation for our brothers and sisters
