Representative Monty Fritts has done it again. Tennessee will once again spend the month of July in prayer and fasting.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

 

In a recent letter, Tennessee State Representatives Mark Pody and Monty Fritts announced Governor Bill Lee’s signing of House Joint Resolution 51. This bill, now signed into law, established July as a month of prayer and fasting that will be honored annually. Praise God!

From the letter:

We send this letter with much thanksgiving to Almighty God! He has blessed us by moving the hearts of our colleagues in the Legislature to establish July as a month of prayer and fasting in our State annually. Governor Lee signed HJR51 into law on May 2, 2025. To the Name of Jesus be all the honor and glory for the victory He has given us. This could not have happened, we are convinced, without a sovereign move of God.

House Joint Resolution 51, like HJR 803 last year, sets aside the month of July as a time for those who are spiritually inclined and physically able to join solemn assemblies across Tennessee in a posture of repentance before the Lord, seeking the healing of our sin-sick land. We face issues that legislation cannot solve and issues that budgeted dollars cannot remedy. The bondages of addiction, drunkenness, debt, pornography, sexual immorality, and government corruption attack our traditional values, while diminishing our liberty before the Lord. Only a move of Almighty God can rescue us from this path.

Just like last year, congressmen and volunteers plan to host events across the state throughout the month of July. You can find more information about these events at www.pray4tn.us.

Representative Fritts is a friend of IFA who has spoken at events and appeared on webcasts. You can watch his most recent webcast appearance from April 3 below, in which he discusses HJR51:

The signing of the bill and the establishment of July as a permanent month of prayer and fasting in Tennessee is a huge answer to our prayers. Let’s pray for similar answered prayer in the other 49 states!

Hallelujah Lord! We celebrate this great news in Tennessee! Let this move of Holy Spirit span across every state in this nation, into every state legislature and be found within the hearts and minds of Your people. I stand in agreement that this be answered prayer for every other state! Thank You Lord for the supernatural way in which You move. Let our prayers and praise reflect the hope that is found in You! In Jesus mighty and victorious name. Amen.

Almighty God answer our prayers. He moved this resolution through the Senate and the Governor signed it. July is now a month of prayer and fasting every year in TN. Let us prepare ourselves for revival by submitting ourselves to Him in repentant posture.

Father God, we prise you for this mighty move of your heart and hand over Tennesee. We ask for your favor and protection over your faithful servants; Governor Lee, Monty Fritts, and Mark Pody.
Let this open the eyes of the Mayor Freddie O’Connell, he desperately needs you.
Proverbs 29:2
Lord, we ask from a place of confident expectation for your mercy on the State of California. Cause our leaders to have contrite, repentant hearts and usher in revival for our state. Let it start with a permanent month of prayer and fasting.
In the name of Yeshua, Amen.

Father, how blessed is it when brothers and sisters unite. Now Lord, I thank You for what You are doing in Tennessee. And I ask, move us here in Florida to join with our brothers and sisters in Tennessee for this solemn time of humbling before You.. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
