"The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations have perished out of His land." (Psalm 10:16)
The Interlinear says, "from His Land the nations are perished and ever forever [is] King The Lord." You don't have to be an "expert" to see that the Lord and King, Jesus the Christ, is in the "driving out" business. Some of today's translations put the, "perished," in the future; my "default" text in the past. No matter. All that Jesus Christ states is, "the end from the beginning." Jesus is, "Alpha and Omega." If you and I do not think and live this way, we are doomed to defeat.
As always, I encourage you to pray the, "God-Breathed," Words with me. This is a prayer which I wrote down while near Check Point Charlie in Berlin, Germany, in 1998: Drive out those who are trying to usurp Your authority in this land." When we came back to the US, I went on to pray, Drive out those who are trying to usurp Your authority in the United States of America, in Pennsylvania, Allegheny County, in Pittsburgh, later Johnstown, Cambria County. These are all addresses where we have lived after we came back from Berlin. I would highly suggest you pray the same for your geographic location. Now some might say, "Well, has it happened?" I don't know. So much of what we pray we don't know the "answers." But is that reason to quite praying the prayers we pray?

You are probably living with "unanswered prayers." Now I don't mean to justify this by tritely saying that "not all answers are yes." We should be non-agenda-oriented enough in our walk in Jesus Christ to say as Paul did, "'You have put all things in subjection under His feet.' For in subjecting all things to Him, He left nothing that is not subject to Him. But now we do not yet see all things subject to Him." It is fact that, "....now we do not yet see all things," as Jesus promised. "But we do see Him Who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus...." And because we, "see...Jesus," we keep pressing, "the battle at the gate."
I am taking to Washington, DC, with me next week the prayers which I have written out based upon the Scriptures. They are some of the "great" prayers of the Bible. They are prayers of which the prophet told the Jewish king, "make [your petition] deep and make it high." How "deep" and how "high" are your petitions today? Don't allow "unanswered prayers" to discourage you, to stop you from obeying the Word of God to that ancient king. There is still a lot of "drive out" to do.
Father, in Jesus' Name, by Your grace and mercy, help me to continue to walk "deep and high" with/in You. Amen.
