What is President Trump’s position on laws regarding same-sex marriage? As he runs for president again, what will his position be? How will we pray?

From The Washington Stand. The Log Cabin Republicans, an LGBT group, hosted their “Spirit of Lincoln” gala Thursday night at Mar-a-Lago, the residence of former president Donald Trump. As Politico described the festivities, the event was a “joyous celebration of gay rights and — in a case of ironic timing — the historic same-sex marriage law signed by President Joe Biden days earlier.” Trump himself delivered “an enthusiastic affirmation of gay rights,” Politico continued. Said Trump, “We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard.”

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

“It’s not the first time, actually, that we’ve seen the Log Cabin [Republicans] have an event there in Mar-A-Lago,” said FRC president Tony Perkins on “Washington Watch.” In fact, “other Republican leaders have been involved in the past. What was encouraging to see this time around [was] that we did not see the RNC involved.”

While Trump and the Log Cabin Republicans celebrated the congressional codification of same-sex marriage in the “Respect for Marriage Act,” evangelicals and other social conservatives were grieved. Perkins called it “a dark day for religious freedom.” He noted that “Marriage is an institution created by God for the well-being of men, women, children, and society as a whole — it cannot be redesigned without impoverishing them all.” …

Perkins and “Washington Watch” guest host Joseph Backholm continued to discuss the implications Trump’s decision might have on his relationship with evangelicals. “The church and social conservatives have something of a complex relationship with the former president,” said Backholm. “Complex, but I also think it’s transactional,” Perkins added. “SAGECons — spiritually active, governance engaged conservatives — were central to President Trump’s success in 2016. They are motivated not by personality, not by party politics, … but rather to policies that are in alignment with biblical truth and principles.” …

Trump’s commitment to the party platform translated into a number of policy victories for social conservatives. “He, of course, was probably the most pro-life president we’ve seen in several generations,” listed Backholm. “He was great on the Supreme Court, on religious freedom. He seems to actually intuitively get the gender stuff as well.” Perkins agreed. …

But Perkins said Trump could lose support among evangelicals and SAGECons if he reneges on his commitment to family, marriage, and religious freedom. “He can’t go down this path of trying to champion the redefinition of marriage and the confusion that comes with all this gender ideology — he can’t expect to have the same support that he has enjoyed, embracing these types of policies.” …

What do we do? We pray and vote for someone else. Perhaps the LORD will raise up someone else. Gov DeSantis maybe? Pray don’t put your trust in Trump, he is stiffnecked.

I’m am definitely not for affirming something that God abhors but Christians are under serious attack by the dark one who is cunning and relentless. Donald Trump is not spotless but God can still use him to reverse many of the terrible things that the new extremely left movement has done to destroy our nation. We can all pray for His will to be done, and this event appears to be the opposite, but in all REALITY this is where we are in this moment in time and in reality the alternative is to give in to the New World Order and sink into oblivion. Don’t be misled, if you do remember the scriptures, God used some very unlikely characters to bring about His plans showing that everyone can be used for His purpose.

Gay marriage destroys the nuclear family, and the communists know it!!!! Trump has lost massive support already because he has not stood with God on marriage…the true created institution of godly marriage….

I am an 80 year old widow and grandmother and the gay gala broke my heart that Trump did this. I have been a strong supporter of Trump until now. It is a slap in the face of God. Trump is saying it is ok to break God’s covenant.

I am shocked, dismayed and appalled. First, I don’t believe we should discriminate against gays (or anyone else, for that matter). But we surely should not be celebrating what is aberrant behavior, what God Himself calls “an abomination.” It’s becoming harder and harder to find the original Scripture wording on this when you go online; you keep getting a lot of loving acceptance. But if you look in your actual Bible…the one you’ve had for the past 20 or 30 years…you will see it. Yes, God loves you, but he is not going to give you a pass.

I am truly saddened by the recent reporting about the Gala hosted by President Trump pledging support to the LGBTQ community which is in total conflict of God’s order and the sanctity of marriage. I will continue to pray the Lord will give President Trump the wisdom needed and turn from the traps of the enemy in order to be the vessel God intended him to be. He is human, and WE ALL need to lift him up in prayer. As the Lord continually reminds us; “do not focus on what is seen, for it is temporal. Have faith and trust in what is not seen as it is the hand of God and is eternal.” Amen

If this be true, it sounds like he has chosen the praises of man, rather than pleasing God…. I am going to investigate this further to see whether this be true or false. I’ve learned not to believe everything you hear or read.

It’s time we move on past Trump to fresh faces of political conservatives aligned with Biblical values—Ideally those who aren’t just with us for political benefit but have a vibrant faith in Jesus guiding them. Let’s face it, Trump lacks that. Let’s Consider Ron Desantis.

Father, we know that there is no earthly person that is worthy of the allegiance that You rightly demand from Your people. All people will disappoint us. I pray that Mr. Trump will see the error of his ways and inform his political positions with Biblical truth. Please lead him to Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Please inform Your people that they need to stop supporting those who stray from the path. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

Dear LORD, I am so sick and tired of the multitudes playing into the evil hands of these wayward leaders who are trapped into sin and darkness rather than Light and Life. They just keep spewing out their evil agendas over anf over, like Hitler did. And they defend themselves to the umpth degree against God. We just can’t let them ruin our nation, else we be ruined along with it and fall into severe agonies and decay. If we don’t do something, and seeing these things that are taking place and do nothing, LORD, we are as bad as the leaders. Their sabotage and seduction has to stop! Who will stop this when it goes on a rage and “walks over people who love You, LORD. Aren’t we Christians called to cast out demonic forces and activities of evil? Are we ready? We may be jailed for this. Are we ready to face persecution, LORD. And LORD, please turn back the pages of the great revivals and manifest these things in these days into being, so we can worship and bless You in the holy place and hear Your voice, Your instructions and Your dreams in the night that reveals His plans. If we seek the LORD, He Himself will find us! In the Precious Name of our LORD Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen.

Lord, help President Trump and other republican leaders that we as Christian need to stand up to biblical truth regarding marriage. Though we don’t hate the sinner we hate the sin. But as you word says a little levan spoils the whole loaf. Let our leaders not lead a compromise life. IJN

Our prayer group prayed for President Trump this morning, asking the Lord to guide him into the truth of God’s Word. I was not happy to hear of this gala event at his home, and his stance on this will definitely affect my vote in 2024. Not in his favor, unless changes come.

Almighty God will use whomever He chooses, good, bad and ugly, to fulfill His agenda.
All we have to do is look in the Old Testament at His choices.
None of us are perfect, we are all very flawed, we all need to look in the mirror.
When we are pointing the finger at someone else, take a look at your own hand and count just how many fingers are pointing back to yourself.
God looks at the heart.
We need to realize that all we really have is His grace through His mercy.

We should not judge him for this. Who is supposed to have over for dinner????
He can’t invited billionaire Christians, like Tyler Perry, because they hosted fundraising parties against him. He can’t invite popular Bible teachers like, Beth Moore, because she demonized and vilified him when he ran for office. He can’t invite best selling trendy preaches because they spoke out against him, from within their pulpits, on Sunday mornings. He can’t even invite the Christians who stood with him when he ran for office because they have turned against him now.

Father we look to you for wisdom. We pray for Trump. He was not perfect but he stood for life in a way no other president has done. He stood for biblical values. He recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. His view of economics brought good things to our country. He was lied about and when he said he was spied on, others denied it, only to found it was true. I think he was far better a president than President Biden. I do not agree with what has happened and I pray for him that God would draw him close to him.

Been there
December 23, 2022

Let’s recap-
so-called pastors have spoken out against him since 2018. People like Creflo Dollar, TD Jakes, Beth Moore, Jen Hatmaker, Lecrae, etc….. spoke out against him and even held fundraisers against him (even though he was the most prolife candidate ever). Ministers such as Andy Stanley and Rick Warren told millions of Christians to be “on the right side of history” by voting against him.

Then after he lost, the few pastors who stood with him, turned against him. Let’s remember the article IFA posted recently about pastors, like James Robinson and Robert Jeffries turning against T.

The community of people who were at this event are a group of people who DID NOT use him and then turn on him after he lost 2020.
This should be a lesson to the church. The church is the only community who eats its own when they are no longer useful.

    “The church is the only community who eats its own when they are no longer useful.”

    Actually, I believe this behavior can be applied to many “groups” but I get the point. As for your other comments, right on target, sadly.

    My Bible says to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather expose them. It’s fine to turn against someone and support somebody else. Trump is stubborn and is a narcissist. God surely can’t be pleased with his behavior. Have you prayed for President Biden? Stop looking back and look forward. I don’t think Trump is in God’s plan for 2024. My internal senses tell me.

The love of money and power is the root of all kinds of evil. Friendship with the world is iniquity with God. Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of God. Only those who do the will of God. As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in ours days..
We pray the Lord will keep those who are his in his hands. No one will plug them from his hand.
I pray that as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Choose you this day who you will serve, Trump or the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 1: 26-27 This passage addresses the “unnatural” acts and their consequences. Personally, I have fought for our freedoms of choice and speech, so if a person decides to be unnatural, so be it. I will respect their decision as long as they respect mine and go about it quietly, leaving our children out of it.

Grace Lord Grace to bring Donald Trump into a new level of wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Council him Lord and may the fear of the Lord be greater than the fear of man. Bring him into a place of forgiveness and repentance. Bless Mr Trump and peace be unto him. What the enemy meant for harm through Donald Trump NOW use it for good. Great is Your Faithfulness oh God our Father.

As the 2020 election approached, I was becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the way Trump and many of his adherents were trumpeting the comeback and ascendancy of the United States with few, if any, whispers of, “God willing.” I was also concerned about his long record of putting women in high positions of authority, even before the White House. This signaled to me that we could only count on him to be more conservative than the Democrats but not a complete ally. I watched mystified throughout 2020 as the Father of Lies appeared to be allowed to go on a rampage, with the possible immediacy of the Rapture and Great Tribulation becoming a more and more logical option to explain it. So far that hasn’t panned out. There may be more about Mr. Trump than has met the eye. I remember how I initially dismissed as left wing attacks statements that George W. Bush had no concern for small business, something he proved thoroughly true. Our prayers for Mr. Trump and for America need to be that we do not find out the hard way where he really stands.

    It often takes a “dark significant event” of hardship and fear, the darkest day, that opens up the revelation of the nakedness of our soul. If only our leaders will have this experience, perhaps our country could get back on track. Else, we, and America, are in for a great fall. Wake up, America’s falling leaders. Wake up! to those who listen to lies and beliueve them! Wake up, the time is near. Prepare ye the way of the LORD!

I look to the Bible and the history of great people and those who aspire to be great. All, the Bible says all. All have fallen short of the glory of God. There is no one who is blameless. We are blameless only through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and making him Lord not just savior.
We are often tempted to idolize great people and put all our hopes on them. We get blinded by their good workswith the best intentions.
No one is unredeemable but we need to ask ourselves what have we learned? Look to the word of God it
Is our true source of God’s wisdom and understanding and guidance.
He only can redeem the heart of man. Not influence and fame and great movements or political affiliation. The time is short put our eyes on the God who became flesh and we all shall face sooner than we think. Be diligent and faithful in serving Him.

We are all called to Trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not lean upon our own understanding- this said; we as the Ecclesia must continue to pray and stand for righteousness knowing that God Himself will provide a ram in the bush if and when necessary. We keep our eyes upon the Author and Finisher of our faith. We will not trust in man but in the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. We take our authority and stand against the works of darkness against our nation. We pray for God’s voice to be revealed, seen and heard across this Nation. We pray for the Church to awaken, rise up and lift up the Name of Jesus. We pray for former President D Trump and ask the Lord to guide his heart and establish him in love, justice, mercy, and truth. We pray that his heart would be strengthened with might by Holy Spirit and that the love of God would sustain and protect him from every strategy of the enemy.
We declare that the works of darkness have been defeated and will be defeated in it’s strategy to take control of the world as we know it. We declare that the earth is the Lord’s! He is King! He will reign forever. In Jesus Name!

Obama and Mr. Biden turned, they appeared as doves and where or became bound by the serpent, wolves in sheep’s clothing. The cunning means be aware, above the intelligence of Satan, so as to be discerning of the trickery of Satan’s schemes, plans and agendas in order to counteract him. PRAY THAT!,,,,,,,,

Trump has not wandered from Christian principles. A group of American voters wanted a celebration at Mar a lago and was allowed to. Trump has his own beliefs and is entitled to them. Some of the most bigoted people in America today are so-called evangelicals! Why not give Trump the benefit of the doubt? Perhaps he may be able to cause gays to stop thinking and identifying by their sexuality and begin identifying as Republican voters. We pray for them to turn to CHRIST and leave sin behind them in JESUS Name! More evangelicals should get to know their Bible by heart and ask GOD how to act and react in every situation we face! I wonder if CHRIST would have felt at home with some of the evangelicals of today, or would they be more like the Pharisees? Pray for Trump and the gays! And pray for yourself that you will be led by GOD in word, deed, thoughts, and actions in JESUS NAME! Amen!

    Completely agree.
    Maybe he is just trying to ” love” them as Christians should..” Love the sinner..hate the sin”
    It is so easy to “judge when we don’t have God’s wisdom..”Keep praying for him..we are all ” off” in some ways we don’t even know.
    More Christians need to spend more time in deep prayer for answers.
    When I was raising my Daughter alone I prayed over everything concerning her & some things The Lord told me to do I was hesitant but I obeyed..If I had been too hard she would have rebelled…He is the ultimate parent & knows His creation & it all turned out great..I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful Daughter!
    Pray Pray Pray for President Trump..

Lord give us wisdom on who to choose for the President in the next election. Please help Trump realize that supporting the agenda for the gay communities is against God’s Word. God’s Word does not change. Help us as a nation realize God’s Word is the same always and we were founded on His Word.
Help us teach true history and not the WOKE agenda that is lies. Bind satan as we as Christians should be fighting for Your Truth and should have been for years. Forgive us Lord and help us be Light and Salt for You, loving people but speaking Your Truth. It is in Jesus name we pray. Amen

Father, thank You for President Trump and all the good he was able to do in spite of terrible opposition. May Your children stay close to You and discern from You who to support and why. We know that President Trump has always supported gay people and never stopped. Grant him wisdom concerning where to draw the line. There is a differencee between supporting people being treated equally and the use of laws to persecute Christians. He has also supported life and religious liberty, and I believe he will support protecting women and children, as some gay people also do.
This choice may divide his supporters. May it not divide Believers. Grant wisdom on how to speak on this topic. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
