Trump Signs the Big, Beautiful Bill
Yesterday, America celebrated its independence. While many set off fireworks and fired up grills, the President addressed the nation and signed the Big, Beautiful Bill, securing the first major legislative win of his second term in office.

IFA has covered the drama that surrounded the Big, Beautiful Bill. We’ve posted several articles, and we even dedicated an entire First Friday webcast last month to discussing this one massive piece of legislation. Now, after months of chaos, the bill has finally become law.
It’s important to note that this bill was not passed and signed without controversy. Many watched over the past few months as Republicans, Christians, and Conservatives tore into one another, hurling insults and lobbing accusations. In the end, nearly everyone was forced to compromise.
The Big, Beautiful Bill is not a perfect piece of legislation. There are, however, some key things in the bill that make it a monumental step forward for America. Although many compromises were made, the bill is still an answer to many of our prayers.
This legislation is long, and even now many are still unsure as to what exactly it contains. Therefore, we’ve highlighted ten things you can rejoice about in the Big, Beautiful Bill, as well as prayer points and scriptures.
- NO MEDICAID FUNDING FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD – The bill includes restrictions on Medicaid that no funding for Planned Parenthood may be used. This drastically reduces the amount of federal funding to Planned Parenthood, and there are estimates that upwards of 200 clinics around the country will be closed. This rule only applies for a limited amount of time, and Congress will have to re-legislate this issue. God, we thank you for this momentous progress, but we ask you for even more! We know that You love Your children and we pray protection over all the unborn that they have the chance to experience your goodness (Psalm 139:13-16).
- Medicaid Changes – The bill puts into place stricter checks and balances to the Medicaid system, ensuring a lower rate of fraud and abuse. Lord, we pray for those that will be affected negatively by these cuts and pray for not just healing, but guidance and wisdom (Matthew 10:8).
- Homeland Security Spending Increase – The bill adds $46.5 million just for the border wall to be constructed, and even more for increased security for our borders. We pray that all law enforcement officers will be safe and secure, and that our border will be protected. We pray for God’s hand to watch over our nation and protect it from evil pouring in (Acts 17:26).
- Reduction of Green Initiatives – The bill ends the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which gives government money to non-profits who are supposedly fighting pollution, etc. Lord, we thank You for your wisdom here and that our government money will no longer be going to organizations lying about what they’re doing (Ephesians 5:15-17).
- Reinforces SNAP Requirements for Benefits – Much like Medicaid, the bill puts into place stringent requirements to receive benefits. This will cut abuse, fraud and waste in the program and get these benefits to those who really need it. Lord we pray that those who need this program receive all they need, and those that don’t are taken out of the program. Be with those that use this program and bless them with your provision and guidance (Isaiah 58:7).
- Larger Child Tax Credit – This bill increases the child tax credit for American families, allowing families to handle inflationary costs in the future by receiving a financial break for having larger families. God, we thank You for making a way for a benefit for American families to have larger families! We know that children are a gift and we pray that this turns a corner for family values in America! (Psalm 127:3)
- No Tax on Tips! – The bill does not fully eliminate taxes on tips, but it does provide a way for gig and service workers to get their tips at a lesser taxed rate than their base salary. This will put more money into the hands of everyday Americans! Father, we thank You for providing a way for hardworking Americans to receive more of their earned money in their pocket and ask that you bless them to spend it wisely (Deuteronomy 8:18).
- New Defense Spending – This bill gives $150 billion to President Trump’s vision of a Golden Dome for America as well as increased missiles. Lord, we pray for protection over this nation, that no evil will come against us and that we can stand strong in Your strength! (Isaiah 1:17)
- Increasing School Voucher Funds – Under the Biden Administration, benefits for families who contribute to private schools was at an all-time low, but under this bill, Americans can contribute to private schools, especially religious ones, without fear of being taxed unnecessarily. Instead, this bill encourages Americans to invest in schools that align with their values, instead of trusting the woke public school system. Father, we pray that Christian schools all around the nation see a benefit form this and that they hold strong in teaching strong biblical values to America’s children (Proverbs 22:6).
- $30 billion for ICE – This bill prioritizes ICE by increasing the budget and allowing more agents along the complete border. God protect our nation and law enforcement officers, keep them safe and secure and watch over our nation as evil tries to enter (Romans 13:4).

As of now, we’ve only just begun to see the fallout from the signing of this bill. Let’s pray for peace in our nation, and let’s pray that the Big, Beautiful Bill blesses America!

Father God, my heart is set on those who are truly being affected by the President’s beautiful bill. Your Word teaches us that what we do for the least of these, we have done unto Jesus. There has always been and will continue to be a level of corrupt people taking advantage of the system. We live in a fallen world. Father, help us. Some say that it is Your will. I have to wonder. Have mercy, please. In the precious Name of Your Dear Son, Jesus. AMEN.
Praying that citizens invest in learning the issues addressed in the bill passage by the congress, senate and president
Thank you Lord Jesus for leading and guiding our President and legislators to put this OBBB in place for the betterment of our Country, which you had a hand in creating and forming. Thank you for President Trump, Vice President Vance, and legislator. May they seek Your Face, Direction, and Wisdom.
I am somewhat skeptical. This bill was changed from its original intent in order to get it passed. Time will tell how much it will actually benefit we the people ( the average working class folks). Most of what happens in Washington D.C. is merely smoke and mirrors. Let’s hope that this is not the case with this legislation. Time will tell.
I appreciate all you’ve done and have followed for YEARS! But this last prayer call with President Trump concerned me GREATLY with Ms. Korn and Pastor Paula referencing IMAMS in the Faith Leadership Committee and including Muslims in everything. Contrary to the belief of way too many Christians, there are no “peaceful” true Muslims. They are encouraged to lie to get what they want. They want to kill anyone who isn’t Muslim and these ladies including them makes me sick to my stomach. Christians are going to be the blame for the takeover of America and their own violent demise all in the name of love and acceptance. I was VERY surprised by this as this organization seems to be brilliant otherwise.
I am serving in a Middle East country and know from firsthand knowledge the accuracy of Lindsay’s assessment. Since when does light align with darkness. The ecclesia and perhaps the nation will be held accountable for the result of this alliance.
CAUTION! and WISDOM!
Since when has it been ok for the people of HaShem to align themselves with the prophets of Baal, or Ashera, or any other false god backed by demons?

I LOVE that millions of $$$$ were defunded from Planned Parenthood
Thank You, YHVH, for those things that do honor You and Biblical values in this bill – including the above list. I recognize that people who have grown accustomed to a welfare state, and have been deceived into thinking that it is somehow Biblical, will not be happy with cuts or stricter oversight of any kind in social programs. Help them to see the value of rewarding hard work and industrious behavior. Stir the church to do what You called us to do, instead of government. Please continue to work for legislation that will cut our deficit and bring about a balanced budget.
Lord, I became aware that California farms are finding it difficult to find laborers for harvesting crops. They of course blame the ICE raids in order to fuel the controversy re: deportations. I see a deeper problem, which concerns me. They claim that they can’t find Americans who are willing to do this work. I pray for a return to the culture I saw as a child – young men and women bucking hay, picking cotton, cutting corn silks (I think that was a thing!), and other agricultural work. I can remember football coaches encouraging their players to spend their summers doing this work as part of their conditioning – even doing some of it for free if a farmer was needing help. Our mother required us to help with harvesting in our large family garden, but also allowed us to set up a produce stand to sell excess and split the profits – strawberries were a bit hit! It is like our society has replaced actual physical labor with a gym membership. There are solutions to the problem, but as long as cheap migrant laborers were available, no one even attempted to find them. Maybe this will change, if people are willing to pursue it. Lord, I pray for a young generation that isn’t allergic to hard work!
What else is on this bill I’m sure there’s a lot more things that help the economy and make America first praying for Israel and United States of America and one nation unders GOD
