During Tuesday’s National Prayer Service, a bishop criticized President Trump, calling him to show “mercy” to LGBT children and illegal immigrants. The President responded the following day, calling for a public apology.
From The Hill. President Trump early Wednesday morning slammed the reverend at a National Cathedral prayer service for the inauguration who called on him to have mercy on transgender children and immigrant families.

Trump, in a lengthy post on Truth Social, called Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde’s remarks “nasty” and not smart.
“The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart,” he said.
“She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people. Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions,” the president added. …
“She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!”
Hours earlier, Budde made a plea to Trump during her sermon as he was sitting in the first pew at the service.
“I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives,” she said.
“The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals,” she added. …

You could tell the minutes she opened her mouth she looked like she couldn’t wait to spew her venom on President Trump and Vice President Vance. Maybe she never heard of the Laken Riley Act that passed probably while she was promoting her own agenda.
She own the President and his family an apology. I don’t think anyone will be stepping into that church anytime soon..Shame on her. She is NOT a godly woman, she just thinks she is.
I feel she had no respect for the president. She needs to apologize to him and United States. She was not speaking from the voice of Jesus.
She Is an embarrassment to the church.
She has no place at the pulpit, to teach about the Lord of Jesus.
What part of illegal, that people don’t understand. God has a law that is supposed to be mirrored here in the earth.
Isaiah 5:20 in the Bible says, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
The Law of Moses destroy sin
Law of Christ is for all of us to live like Him
Law of Moses is to kill sin.
Paul said he did not know what sin was until the law. The law made Paul aware of his adversity and enmity he had with the God he served. This bishop disrespected not only a man named Donald Trump but the Highest Seat in the Land that he holds, which shows she had no regard for scripture at all when it clearly states The Bible instructs us to obey those in authority. This includes government leaders, employers, and spiritual leaders. Romans 13:1-2 states that all authority is established by God, and we should obey those in authority over us.
We are not supposed to add to or take away from God’s word for our own personal gain and that what this bishop did by committing a mental assassins to commit psychological arson in the minds of people for her agenda not God’s agenda. This is why we must have a sound mind and continue to be critical thinkers.
I have watched many religious leaders follow and applauded this Bishop for what she did against President Trump like she was the Moses for 2025 and then tell people to pray against the President which is just evil..
Father we pray against all the nay sayers, word curses against the President and His family and my the Blood of Jesus cover them as well as all of us in Jesus Name
Let’s start with the fact that the church this female bishop is in is a false church because they choose to ignore 1 Timothy 2:11-12. They are also a false church because the Bible is clear that God created us male & female, you are created as a specific gender and God did not make a mistake. Transgender is a mental/spiritual condition that needs healing.
I pray that our country turns back to the word of God in truth and that false prophets such as this bishop are removed so they can no longer deceive people.
The bishop’s church service lecture of POTUS was as inappropriate as the attire of Lauren Sanchez (Jeff Bezo’s fiancée) at the inauguration. Both women grossly abused the grace extended to them. In the bishop’s case, as the clergy/celebrant in the President’s first church service following his inauguration, her inappropriate and untimely lecture was a gross abuse of her authority within the Episcopal church. In Sanchez’s case, as an invited guest, her disrespect for the solemn and historic event she was attending was on full display and was so noted, EVEN by those in the liberal media. Neither the woman of the cloth nor the woman of the camisole displayed grace or dignity.
● The BEST course of action may be to ask TRUMP (www.45office.com, http://www.WhiteHouse.gov/contact, 202-456-1111) if he has authority to replace key leaders at the National Cathedral with orthodox, Bible-believing Christians!
● Trump may not be able to immediately replace CLERGY (like “Rev. Budde who SHOULD HAVE delivered a Christ-focused Gospel message on JAN. 21), BUT he MAY BE ABLE to replace TOP MANAGEMENT.
● Samuel Adams wrote: It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brushfires in men’s minds.” We must REMEMBER that A SILENT MAJORITY is NO MAJORITY!
We must be ANGRY (yet without sin) and BUSY to make an ongoing impact standing for Jesus, His Word, and the Constitution.
They have no reason to be scared for going back to THEIR OWN COUNTRY! We cannot support illegals while OUR OWN are suffering because what help they should be getting is going to illegals.
I believe that when we choose to worship in a particular church we can expect the beliefs of that church to be expressed. I believe the beliefs of the Episcopal Church were preached and that it would be presumptuous to think that the sermon would be tailored to fit the beliefs of individuals in the congregation. (President Trump and others)
Be aware of the beliefs of the denomination before attending. There are many different denominations in the Christian church. Each one will express the beliefs of their church.
THAT is irrelevant and does NOT change the facts – illegals ARE ILLEGALS! And they are taking resources which are NEEDED by our own people.
It is right for President Trump to rebuke the bishop because what she expressed is not the truth of the gospel . The bishop overlooked the fact that many criminal illegals have killed American citizens, brought fentanyl drugs into our country with so many young people who had died from it, criminal illegals aliens kidnapped children from both sides of the borders and sex trafficked them . The bishop’s statement shows that she is not abiding or obeying what God commands us to do – that homosexuality is an abomination to God and she needs to apologize to the public for making a statement that is an attack against God’s design and value of how He made one man and one woman and not pervert His design . I praise the Lord thst President Trump said that there are only two genders – a man and a woman . It is time for the bishop to repent to God and read and obey His biblical teachings .
So true – why go looking for giving division a platform at this time?
A leader determines the reason for the function and the place of peace/agreement to host that function.
Recommendation- shake the dust off this unwelcoming performance and move on to places/groups that are receptive to what Trump believes is his calling. Resist distraction.
She wasn’t preaching a sermon. She called out one person to rebuke as if he was sending all immigrants back. It’s the illegals that are breaking the law.
Pres. Trump and VP Vance were hijacked by this Episcopalian Bishop. Instead of criticizing and preaching to the congregation about social and legal issues, she should have seized the opportunity to glorify God and Jesus Christ and reinforce the miracle that occurred in Butler PA last July, 2023. I believe she could have drawn the congregation closer to God and Jesus Christ had she referred to God’s grace and gift of salvation. But, activist don’t place others ahead of their activism. Typical narcissistic behavior.
AMEN!!!
I can’t help but wonder what the impetu$ was for her message (from her handlers, lgbtq organizational lobbyists, democratic leftist leaders or otherwise), whether money or control/blackmail/whatever. What denomination(?) was she supposed to be representing, anyway? And (especially, without that information, HOW in the world did she get allowed either to SPEAK there? Or (to) even be allowed to enter the building at ALL? Let’s pray, remembering Paul/Saul, that God opens her/their hearts to His almighty power of Holy Spirit to do His will, in His way in every way possible. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
God is exposing the evil and our job is to pray.
Pray for the lost and for God’s intervention for His Body, the Church.
Sean Feucht encouraged me by saying what the Lord has said to me.
There is nothing impossible for Him.
We never lose by engaging in doing His will.
Glorify Your Name O Lord, in all the earth!!!
Amen.
Bishop Budde is a bishop in the National Cathedral. If she had such pressing concerns during the National Prayer Service, I would think President Trump would have been more than willing to hold that discussion in private, had she made that request. Unwise of her, and an aggressive move, to address the issue from the pulpit during her sermon/monologue.
I couldn’t say it better myself!!!
Bishop Budde’s comments were not only inappropriate, but they were also untrue, and completely unbiblical.
LORD, may you cause all such churches to be exposed for their political propagandizing and lies, and for eyes of their audiences to be opened to the truth – in the mighty name of Jesus!!
AMEN!!!!
Religious figures should NOT be political. For the most part, they do not even understand the problems that today’s parents have to ponder. They should keep political views to themselves and keep it out of religion.
Thanks, Karen Beeson. Sadly, it’s called m-o-n-e-y. Prayers for them. (See my first post, “I can’t help but…impetu$…”, replying to TontonB.)
I don’t think politics belong in church. The church is a house of worship. To worship and praise God. The bishop’s sermon was extremely negative and inappropriate. She owes the President and our country and apology to use her church to express her political views. No wonder her church congregation is shrinking. She needs our prayers.
Yes totally agree with u in biblical standpoint.
May all churches and denominations with non Biblical
views and satanic friendships be shut down, doors closed, mouths shut. May the bride of Christ launder her wedding dress and speak the will of the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit.
This “bishop” is definitely not a Biblical scholar. She also set the stage for fear mongering among the LGBTQ+ community, as well as illegal aliens. Her references to low level job fulfillment is no excuse for illegal aliens to remain. Her position as a church leader should itself be questioned. The pulpit is not the place to reinforce personal views but to teach about our Lord and Savior. The Bible is God’s Holy Word period. You cannot change God’s word to suit your political ideals. She needs to be removed from her position and another church chosen for our nation!

I believe we saw first hand the true demonic evil spirits infiltrated into our churches, schools, military, government. This is the evil vs the good that the Bible speaks about. A man can put make up and a dress on, a person can put the clergy apparel on but the Bible and God speak the truth. Men are not woman and a person dressed as clergy speak words like the Pharisees. We are warned of this in the Bible. This woman needs to read her Bible. To protect ourselves as Christian’s we must know what Jesus taught us in the Bible. To protect ourselves on our land we must know our God given Constitution and founding documents. Pray and pray everyday to protect our God given rights. Eph 6: 10-18
The bishop’s remarks were unwise. The Lord does indeed tell us to be merciful, but He also tells us to protect our borders. The role of government is to provide a safe environment for the govern; punish the evil and reward the good. The president has a lot on his plate and she should have asked God to give him wisdom and discernmenrt. She could have asked God to surround him with wise advisors and courage to make hard decisions. This was a missed opportunity.
totally inappropriate remarks ,she is not a bishop of the word, but of the world
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde’s remarks were totally unacceptable.
Is itg really too much ask that our president be merciful towards those who are fearing the consequences of his decisions? Doesn’t mean his decisions are wrong. She wasn’t nasty at all. But she was speaking from a pulpit, directly to him and that could feel very uncomfortable. Let us not think more highly of ourselves than we ought. And let us please show respect and mercy to those who are not living in obedience to the word of God. But let us show the way through our love and absolute respect to Christs authority and Gods word. It doesn’t need to be legislated through Wokesim. Let us who are called by Jesus name show them how to respect and love persons of this country. I am thankful for all the hard things must be done to make the border secure and send the criminal element back to where they come from. Thankful to call the LGBTQ flags to come off the federal buildings. But we who are not of the government, but of our Fathers kingdom need to be about being united in love, towards the citizens of our country so they might the hope of belonging to the Heavenly country God has qualified us to. Let go of hate and animosity. Uphold righteousness but uphold Godly love too, to those who don’t Him.
Theater. He did not put his hand on the Bible. His occult-laden Golden Age is ushering in the light side of the Luciferian beast system. AI? Bioweapon mRNA? Has he denounced Climate Change which is the centerpiece of the globalist agenda? Has he called out the LA fires as nefarious and not natural at the guidance of his ambassador advisor Mel Gibson? Lahaina? Canadian fires? Smoke and mirrors. At the very least, will you at least get in his face and denounce Paula White-Cain as the WH Office of Faith leader? No you won’t and so you are the problem, not the stooge priest.

I’m not here to kill hope, rather to kill lies. For lies kill and I hate the Liar! The Truth is hated yet only the Truth can set you free. O brethren within the massively apostate Church, I PRAY for you to Wake Up and be a Doer of the Word via the breath in your lungs to not compromise and coexist straight into the pit of hell… in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Persecution is guaranteed and Faithful and True is coming!
BTW, the tribulation started with the Pact for the Future in NYC on 10/2/2024. Check your feast days.
How is it that this “Bishop” was chosen to give the keynote address at this worship service, KNOWING her political position ??????
How come she wasn’t vetted ?
The Bishop is obviously a radical activist hiding behind a Bishop’s uniform.
It was disrespectful to single out the President and use her church to “lecture” the leader of western world from her pulpit. President Trump has done more than any other President in the last generation to stop human trafficking. Yet, this so called Bishop failed to even address his many accomplishments to uplift human rights for children, adolescents and women. A large majority of illegals who crossed the border and members of violent cartels who are gang raping and pushing drugs like fentanyl which are destroying Americans of all ages. She is a viper in Bishop’s clothing.
I think the Bishop is not a true follower of Christ, and therefore has no authority to speak for Christ. She will be judged for her own sins, and shouldn’t be judging anyone for what she perceives are their sins and short comings.
I think that one thing that we can agree on with Mariann Edgar Budde’s words is that we should have compassion on the poor, the naked, the imprisoned, the orphan, just as Jesus told us to, wants us to, and calls us to.
We should also have discernment about the other things that she has said. She said that the “vast majority of immigrants are not criminals”, which may be true, but we should still protect our border from illegal immigration while welcoming the foreigner.
I pray for discernment for all of us as we face these challenging situations and differing opinions.
First what she said was not Biblical. It was indeed heretical. She did not give any indication that she or her church which would select her as a leader is a Christian church.
Secondly, any undocumented alien in this country is a criminal. The broke our laws to be here.
She owes President Donald Trump & his family & Vice Prisident J.D. Van & his family, and others there
an apology. How very rude of her to make those remarks. She was suppose to be leading people in
prayer for the country, but brought out WOKE remarks. She should be revoked of her position
as a minister- or what ever she is. But that is probably not going to happen. I wonder if the whole
Catholic Church there in Washington DC., think of the same ideologies that she has in her mind.
Oh Heavenly Father forgive us, help us Father to forgive her.
She is demon possessed, no person in their right mind, would say that on public television for the
whole world to see. This just shows that the little devil goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom
he may devour. We need to keep our hearts focused on our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
We need to read our Bibles daily, putting on the whole armour of God as in Ephesians 6: 10-18.
The Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness, Feet with the Gospel of Peace, Shield of Faith,
Helmet of Salvation, Sword of the Spirit-the Word of God, and finally Pray in the Spirit on all ocassions.
We are in a Spiritual Battle daily, we have to fight with the Armour that God gave to us in the Word.
But rejoice with these next verses.
Philippians 4:4-9, 11-13,19
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again. Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all, the Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about, anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God, which transends all understanding, will guard your hears and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally
brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from
me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Please every day, every moment the Holy Spirit reminds you, Pray Daily for our President and his appointed administration,
to be filled according to God’s purpose for America. Pray that revival will spread & sweep through out Washington DC, and
through out America. It starts with us, praying and seeking the Lord, Holy Spirit fill us with your presence., it is in Jesus name
we pray. Amen.
That message by Bishop Budde was a shame! A real shame. She should have preached the true gospel to these high ranking officials annd their families instead of preaching her opinion. So sad!
She needs to be removed. The church needs salvation.
The good thing about the whole thing is that God allowed the church to be exposed for what it really is.
Father God, I ask that you will draw this woman to Jesus! I pray that true Christians would reach out to her for salvation and transformation! Lord save her soul from hell.
Lord please remove her from any position of influence and fill her position with a spirit filled Christian in Jesus’s name Amen!
I agree with President Trump’s analysis.
Unfortunately there are many left-leaning clergy who do not read all the bible and pull one-liners to sway many who are perishing because of a lack of knowledge concerning God’s word.
Fortunately for us, President Trump does not fall into the category of a ” lack of knowledge”.
I pray blessings over President Trump and I condemn all false profits who use their bible to promote ungodly behaviors. She should be more concerned about being complicit in supporting those who shake their fist at God in defiance of His Word.
Who chose the bishop to speak? Not very tasteful or Biblically based!
Not Godly at all. Judgemental and Demonizing promoting a personal opinion. Wrong is worn and truth is thruth and that is what clergy are supposed to preach on not on personal biased opinion. She was disrespectful and not gracious or loving at all.
Abhorrent! Be
She does not represent my views . I would fire her and whomever allowed her to be vetted to be the deliver on this special prayer . If it wS known she had opposing views why would she be allowed to be the deliverer of someone whom is for unity and not confusion ?
POTUS Trump is RIGHT . . . She’s STUPID to the CORE.
Have yet to learn why she was invited to speak. This isn’t her first performance. Pray for the people surrounding our President. His spiritual advisors should be vetted more scrupulously. I fear there are many demons standing in disguise
I thought we were seeing a real engaged church service. I am glad that President Donald J. Trump saw through the rhetoric nonsense agenda of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, such as transgender in children. And that President Donald J. Trump got through and to the point of talking about the really dangerous issues at the borders, being terrorists and criminals entering through the US borders. President Donald J. Trump wants the US citizens to be safe and free. Pray protection over the legal citizens of the US, Psalm 91.
This is yet another attempt from the darkness of the left to push and protect their ungodly agenda. No where in the word of God does it say to accept deviant behavior. This so-called bishop has to understand God’s divine plan for humanity through Male and Female, only two genders. Who elected her to do the prayer? Wrong platform for all of your shortcomings.
No apology necessary Mr President of the United States of America . This person wants to start un-uniting us!
In addition to politicizing the prayer service and the pulpit, which should be sacred places reserved for worship, the Word of God and prayer, she also pejoratively demeaned all of the jobs and positions she named, as though those are jobs only illegal aliens should hold. Praying for Trump to recognize, as surely he does, that she is not an accurate representation of the vast majority of true Christians and their clergy! Praying for clergy to recognize the sacredness of their God-given and God-ordained vocation, refusing the temptation to utilize what God has given for purposes other than those ordained, commanded and blessed by God and His Word!
Bishop Mariann’s lecture was a veiled attempt to portray President Trump as a Nazi dictator who will round up homosexuals and other victim groups and send them to death camps just like Hitler did. What some people don’t say speaks louder than what they do say.
The bishop’s comments did not reflect God’s word; rather, they reflected her social justice politics. She did not speak these words citing God’s authority but spoke them out of her own personal political narrative. Totally inappropriate for the setting.
I think she’s as righteous as Caiaphas. But I think Trump’s inauguration speech was more brutal against Biden so Trump needs to practice what he preaches.
But Trump is not a Bishop nor in a pulpit of a church. He had a right to tell the American people about the hell the democrats have put him through for the last 9 years.
This woman was saying what she felt about Trump, certainly not anything to encourage him by sharing the Word of God for his role in governing. She obvious does not understand who Trump really is – a man who cares for the citizens of America first with no evil intent towards others. He believes in law and order and seeks to support and protect it’s citizens first. As much as he has had to fight for his life, he still thinks about and is willing to fight for the welfare of the people of his country. She should be disbarred from the pulpit.
What other nation permits a flood of unprocessed aliens to pour across its borders?
So glad Trump stands for common sense and Biblical Truth. She and the people who are “scared” don’t need to worry in a free America, but should fear our Holy God and His Word. She needs serious prayer for her eternity.
We are to show mercy and love and kindness and value hard work to those innocent illegals. We need to create a better process that they can go back to their country and yet re-enter legally in a quicker way. We need the legalization process to be sped up for those who are good people that have been in the country contributing to our economy and well being.
This is the way we can show the love and kindness of Jesus and may many come to know Him personally. Speed up the legalization process for the good ones helping out for years.
Innocent illegals…..those two words contradict each other. If they are in the country illegally, they are not innocent. Nevertheless, I pray for them. But they need to enter the country the legal way.
The article fails to mention the denomination of the so-called bishop. She could be part of a satanic organization, possibly even the new leftist Divided Methodist Church which no longer follows many Biblical truths, and has been seduced to be “of the world” as well as “in the world” contrary to the teachings of Christ Himself.
She is an Episcopal bishop. The Episcopal church is woke and seems to be moving away from the Bible too. I no longer go there
Her sermon was a travesty, ungracious, punitive and unbecoming a clergy person.
The Bible is very clear about people like her. She never mentioned God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit or anything Biblical. She has an agenda a WOKE agenda that has nearly destroyed this country the last 4 years. According to Gods word she shouldn’t even have the position she has as a woman.
I believe she needs to read 1 Timothy ch2 on the qualifications of a Bishop. Which obviously she has no knowledge of whatsoever
Those who cam in illegally should be deported and come back in the legal way.
Lord we pray that these socialist views would come to an end in America. Holy Spirit move in the hearts of leaders to know the rule of law and enforce it without partiality so we can have a sovereign and free nation once again. The bishop criticizing The President is wrong and doesn’t know the Bible.
The bishop who led the so-called prayer service just revealed herself to be anything but Biblical or prayerful. She could have done some good by being respectful and encouraging in her remarks. She should have stuck to Bible passages and real prayer. Shame on her.
I don’t like the saying, shame on you. That is putting a curse on someone I think. She needs to step back and look at her action and repent though.
Hi, Carole,
I feel very encouraged by the Lord to mention this to you.
Psalm 25 (Amplified Bible)
David says:
Unto You, O Lord do I bring my life.
I trust You, lean on You, rely on You and I am confident in You.
Let me not be put to shame, or my hope in You be disappointed.
Let those who forsake the right or deal treacherously without cause be put to shame and
be disappointed. Teach me Your ways; Show me Your paths;
You teach the humble and all Your paths are Mercy and Steadfast Love.
Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness teach me; for You are the God of my salvation;
For You only and all together do I wait all the day long.
I often use this Psalm as Prayer all day and as my prayer at night before bed. It ministers to me
in a vert powerful way. I hope it will be of help to you.
Hello famly of God. Show and point out to me anytime in the history of the Devils existence where he showed any mercy to righteousness and stopped committing evil. We do not bow to the request of Satanic influences. There is a difference between Godly mercy and any of you responding, who think you can comment on how you feel you want to see the President show mercy. You can talk about displaying love all you want to, but what makes you think this isn’t Love? We have no time for rational. The bible says Faith worketh by Love. This oath of office taken by this President must first be loyal to the God he owes that oath too. If this President wants God to back him up, that means he needs to declare exactly what God is saying. Once he does that, he is putting Faith to work in God to demonstrate his Love in every situation he has to face. It is up to God to now follow up and deal with how he chooses to operate mercy and love to people who still have a need to be cared for. Understand that the President has not been called to do what you say or anybody else. Once he has pleased God with his spoken decisions, as a body of believers the only thing we should be saying is, ” Now that your order has been spoken by the President, send your mercy and help to those who will be displaced. Guide them to the Savior and teach them your ways.” God’s love is different from human love. This request was stated out of human desires. Human love is selfish. It does not follow I Corinthians 13. God’s love is nothing like ours. Let God handle what we as humans interfere with because he knows more than all of us. The President is definitely pleasing God. Be blessed.
Yes The President brought God back. The Bishop did not. She took the opportunity to vilify Trump. That’s not what God would have done. I pray he saves this country. He has his work cut out. Satan is everywhere
The female pastor’s remarks were misplaced. If she needed to get her beliefs into the public conscience or to the president, that was wrong to blindside him, and us, at the Natn’l Prayer gathering. More to the point- she does not represent the Creator God, who tells mankind that He created man and woman as the two genders, and that He condemns them for “laying with their own kind”- man with man, woman with woman.
She’s entitled to her beliefs, but if she claims to represent God, then she’s wrong, and her remarks were rude, unkind, and a cheap shot in that venue. She should apologize to the president, his family, and all Christians in America specifically.
It’s such a shame that she didn’t take the opportunity to share the life-saving message of the gospel instead of her own worldly mis-guided opinions. The church’s mission is to spread the gospel not worldly sin.
Her comments exposed the fear of man rule in herself and in those who have not encountered the LOVE OF GOD, The basis for her plea? “People are afraid.” FEAR, not love, is what motivates pagan worship. Those who live by the flesh cannot understand the inner rule of the Holy Spirit in the believer.
The time, tone, & venue of the Bishop’s message was a mistake and she should apologize to President Trump and all the attendees.
I am weary of pastors that openly support the confusion & mutilation of our children to bolster their own agenda. Our children should be treated for healing of confusion and strife as we stand firm to God’s Word.
She is the work of the devil. A lost woman with an evil agenda.May the Lord rebube her and her church!
So they are here illegally taking Americans jobs. The gays and transgenders. It says in the Bible God destroyed city’s because of that. We are to pray for the lost Not let them walk over us. Go Trump.
She says gays, trans, etc are afraid of (President Trump). This is because these people have been fed a lies, lies, lies. 1. That homosexuality is how God (or evolution?) made them and not sin. 2. That Trump will do terrible things to them and he must be feared. So have mercy how? By allowing them to remain in lies and life-killing sin??
Then she exposes her elitist entitled mentality. Who will clean our toilets and take out our trash if you send all the illegals back?? Really? Many of these people are relegated to these lowest level jobs because to get education/training/better jobs requires a green card or citizenship.
Yes, we really do need to pray. “The god of this world has blinded the eyes of the unbeliever so they cannot see the glory of God”.
The bishop exposed her lack of knowledge for the Bible- her first obligation is to preach the Word of God- sin is rampant in our nation and she had an opportunity to present God’s love by sharing the Truth of His Word so that sinners might repent. Instead she tried to impose her Woke agenda, her acceptance for illegals to enter our nation (yes many who are hardworking are still illegally here), and to be disrespectful to our President. She did not present a speech that would unify a nation.
I wonder what she thinks sin is?
Whose church is that? a denomination or the countries? She was as low down as a so called pastor could be… There should be something done about that evil…she is downright evil!!
YHVH, the only “church” You recognize is the ekklesia – those born-again believers whom You are building into a spiritual dwelling-place for Yourself.
(see also – I Corinthians 3:9-17 & I Peter 2:4-8)
Ephesians 2:20-22 You have been built on the foundation of the emissaries and the prophets, with the cornerstone being Yeshua the Messiah himself. In union with Him the whole building is held together, and it is growing into a holy temple in union with the Lord. Yes, in union with Him, you yourselves are being built together into a spiritual dwelling-place for God!
This entity is an organic living worldwide spiritual body. I Peter 2 says that it is those who have come to the living stone, Yeshua, and are living stones being built into a spiritual house. The true “church” is not an institution or an organization or a denomination or a man-made building. These may contain members of the body of Christ, but they also may not. They may be apostate, and not even know the living and only God – YHVH.
The Scripture in Ephesians uses the word “union” several times. Union with Yeshua is the only way to attain Godly unity. As we align with Him and with the Truth of His Word, we can then experience Godly unity as the body of Christ – and in it’s fullest reality it will require no compromise. People may unify to accomplish a common purpose or goal, either good or evil, but it is usually temporary and requires compromise.
So, YHVH, I ask for the ekklesia to come into Godly unity – in union with Yeshua the Messiah. Please keep revealing Yourself and Your Holy Word to us by Holy Spirit revelation. May that unity result in Your will and purposes being accomplished, as we lay aside our personal agendas and take up Yours. Help us to be wise and discerning in regard to any alignment with people or agendas, especially if it requires compromise of our convictions.
If they have come here illegally, they are indeed criminals.
They r desperate. R u a real Christian? Where is Jesus’s love in you?
Then come in legally like my family did when they to were desperate and had to leave their homeland
She needs to read and study her Bible. She set her cause back a long way. The things she said were never said by Pres. Trump. And I haven’t heard anyone he wants for his cabinet say those things. It was inappropriate and enormously rude. I was completely offended personally. She needs to get her theology in right order according to the Bible, apologize to God, to Pres. Trump and to this nation.
I think she is a false teacher because she is obviously more concerned about politics than the Lord. Also, while I know that you should hate the sin and not the sinner, but the Bible is clear about homosexuality, and NO pastor should ask for special treatment of these people. Also, President Trump was correct about the illegal immigrants
Thank you for letting IFA prayer partners respond to this outrage! I have been to the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. It is a beautiful, stately-looking cathedral! So many important events have taken place in that church! How did it fall into the hands of the woke progressives? I PRAY THAT WE WILL TAKE IT BACK! Prayer: “Father God, Could You please use that embarrassment heaped on our President & Vice-President yesterday for your purposes? Tear down the “wokeism” that has invaded Your church right now at the beginning of President Trump’s presidency. Let’s not let this moment be wasted! You require UNITY in the body of Christ. That means praying for one another, studying your Word together, agreeing to disagree agreeably, being light & salt in a hurting world. In Your Word it says: ‘I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH’. We are looking to You the author & finisher of our faith to help us. I pray this in Jesus powerful name. Amen.”
Not a good representative of Prayer over a new administration & their families. So sad!
She needs to be born again and turn from her sins. Her pagan ways come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and then really preach the gospel as it is. She’s false, a false teacher, a false prophet, a false Minister. She needs saved. I pray for her salvation today in Jesus name
U do.
I think our president should move carefully and prayerfully forward. Mercy and Love most definitely are a must, but I am praying he hears the voice and instructions of the Lord in all decisions. A gentle answer (and in some cases no response) turns away wrath.
In 2 Kings 6 Elisha lead the enemy into Isreal but the King first asked the prophet what he should do. He listened and the raiders came no more into Isreal.
I am praying for president Trump to seek out Godly advice on how to bring about the changes we are needing to come. If the Lord does the work then it will be established. If man tries to do it , it may fail or at least create more trouble and uprising than necessary. The Wisdom of the Lord be his guide.
I think this church is Christian in name only and the church needs to change to true Christianity or begin a new tradition of prayer for newly appointed Presidents in another location. That service was blasphemous and lifeless..Christ is not boring. He wasn’t a part of that service.
What a great explanation…

Father God,
You are the One who placed Donald J. Trump in office, and you will be the One who GUIDES and PROTECTS him and his decisions for America.
You promised that Trump would become the 47th president of the United States of America, a country after Your own heart. That he has come as an instrument of Your hand. As one on a mission to save a people. A people noble in heart, noble in mind, and noble in spirit…
You are the great I Am, and you truly do have America’s back. You will hold us up as a sister to Your first-born nation, the nation of Israel, and You are going to save and protect America at all costs.
As Father over all the nations of the world, You are rising up to take Your place as a trumpet to the world. You are sounding the alarm, as America stands at a pivotal point in the history of the world… and we ask that You stand firm with our President, Donald J. Trump in the decisions he declares.
In Yeshua’s Mighty Name,
Amen
The remarks were completely inappropriate for the setting and service- she hasn’t done her homework – deportation begins with serious criminals and then others – there has never been anything said about threatening the LGBTQiA community by our President just
Ending DEI which does favor them over merit at times – there are no threats to them from anyone – has she not understood that 300,000 children are missing after coming over the border and women and children being abused and even killed through trafficking and in other unsafe horrible situations – what Our President is doing is honoring our laws and saving lives of illegals – she needs to be removed from her position –
Amen.
She showed disrespect & was out of line with her comments. I agree with what President Trump said. Only God can change her heart. She needs prayer and enlightenment to the Truth.

“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.”
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
This lady is a very poor example of Christianity. What would you expect from an uber liberal denomination?
our immigration policy needs to be settled by our legislature which has kicked the topic down the road for too long. They are political cowards resulting in this issue being addressed by President Donald J Trump via EO. Do your job congress and we will not have dialogue from sacred pulpits. The bishop was wrong for using that venue as her political soapbox. That National Prayer Service should be used to bring forth blessing and unification, not demonization. She needs to apologize.
I encourage others to be blessed by viewing Sean Feucht’s thoughts about this gathering. https://youtu.be/3arSpwgMokA.
His thoughts present how God turned this event around. The plans of this Bishop fell flat. Our God reigns. The voice of darkness is no longer being tolerated by the Ekklesia.
Be glorified Father! May Your Kingdom come and will done as this time of transition advances !
Patricia, thanks for sharing the Sean Feucht clip! That was very exciting! Sean was in that service with the woke bishop & Trump & Vance! That bishop is getting covered in prayer now! Wow, God’s got a plan! Follow Sean! He is on the move for God in this administration!
She is mean and has no understanding of what the president is doing. She needs to be fired from her job and sent back to her LBGT sisters where no one cares. She wants to help illegals break the law in this country. What a poor excuse for a person of God!!!!
May this so-called Bishop. have an encounter with Jesus Christ. in such a profound way that she must acknowledge that He is the King of kings the Lord of lords and His word endures forever never changing
Which says on the 6th day He created male and female.
No other gender
And even heaven doesn’t allow illegal entry. We must have Jesus stamped on our hearts to enter in.
So Lord, we’re asking you to change her or remove her from her seat of authority.
And even more so than apologizing to Trump and all at the service and to the public. Let her apologize to you and seek Your mercy..
I absolutely agree. Even Heaven requires Legal entrance. Stamped with the Blood of Christ ❤️
May she have an encounter with Jesus that changes her and humbles her and she may be stamped with His Blood!
May Our Lord dismantle apostate and woke ideology and deception in the media and all over the realm
It is unfortunate that many evangelical pastors are politically correct and won’t take a stand boldly for the truth in the pulpit .
Thus bishop is terribly deceived and boldly spouting evil lies which will mislead many
We need to speak truth to dispel the lies and pray for her and people like her who are in darkness
She was completely out of line. She is blind, deaf, self serving & a failure at serving God & the people.
Totally unbiblical to insert her personal viewpoint over what the Bible states on gender. Her statements are considers apostasy. Genesis 1:28 declares… in the image of God’ created he him; male and female crested He them. Woke ideology has no place in the pulpit. It us a Woe into them moment .
She was out of line
This lady’s spiel had no place in that setting. She could have sent him a letter, asked for an appointment to visit with him and let her views be known. She politicized what should have been a neutral ceremony! Whoever is her superior in that church should take her to task and let her know this was not acceptable to President Trump or any U. S. citizen.
This “church” should not be involved in politics! Shameful !!
God is government!!
He created the plan.
Yes the church should be involved in every aspect of government.
Our failure to do so, it’s why America is in such poor condition today.
We are to occupy until he comes to see to it that righteous laws our past that protect children.
And glorify God
I left that denomination decades ago over this very issue. Unfortunately, my previous denomination has abandoned Biblical truth in favor of “live and mercy”, without having a true grasp of the meaning of either.
President Trump, I apologize on behalf of my former fellow worshippers. And I hope and pray you will find a true faith home for your tenure in DC.
We Believe the Episode was unfortunate and should never have happen in the Church Service Prior to The Forty Seventh Presidential Inaugural Service.!

For any religious leader to use the pulpit as a platform to single out ANY individual, and publicly try to shame them, is disgusting, unprofessional, ungodly, and disrespectful. Besides the fact that she speaks from ignorance of the Truth in God’s Holy Bible. I pray this public exposure to her ungodliness will knock her off her pedestal, humble and pierce her heart with a desire to seek the Truth and the Savior-Jesus Christ.
The pope, being a resolutely socialist, has shown the world that politics have taken a center stage in religion. The extreme left, the DEMON RATS, have taken this papal side. The women in charge have pushed the envelope even further. Soon, these DEMON RATS, who politicize everything, will advocate to murder the unwanted babies. Contrariant to all precepts of the Bible. But, what can we expect from people who only believe their opinions are facts, denying all truths, all biblical facts, all Natural facts as simple opinions. And wanting us, the REAL PEOPLE, to abide by their asinine foolishness. STUPID.
To publicly address President Trump in this way seems unkind, unfair, and insincere. If the bishop truly wants to influence the President, private communication is more effective and appropriate. These comments were inappropriate and out of place at this National Prayer Breakfast. Whether or not we agree with the comments, (and I do not agree with them), it was improper to present them in this way.
Dearest Heavenly Father: First and foremost Father we pray YOUR will over our nation, our leaders, our lives. We pray that Americans who don’t honor you, truly believe your word or follow you would quit using the Bible which IS your word and rewriting it or twisting it to fit their specific agendas I am so tired of them using the fact that you love Everyone to mean that you would compromise yourself or your word and thereby go along with and accept their sin. I pray Father that they will come to a true knowledge of you and the real meanings behind your Word. I pray that they would open their eyes, heart and minds and repent allowing you to do what you have always done with the sinner — Love them and TRANSFORM them into a new person by changing the way they think. We give you all Glory, Honor, Power and Praise for you alone are Worthy to be Praised. In the Mighty Mighty Name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen
This preacher is an idiot, she wants to use the bible as smorgasbord and pick and choose what wks for her agenda she’s a false prophet, ALL illegals need to go, and if this fruit cake read the Bible there are only 2 genders male or female so she owes President Trump and the rest of America an apology.
Christ taught love and compassion but acceptance of sin. He said to go and sin no more. If you continue to purposely sin you will not be accepted into the kingdom of God.
I left out the word NOT in my above comment about sin.
