I Prayed have prayed
Father, we are so grateful for the desire of our President and many in his administration to honor You and call on Your name. You say in Your Word that "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord..."

President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission convened today and IFA senior staff, several IFA State Leaders, and intercessors were there. The invitation-only event not only featured remarks from President Trump about his personal conviction of the value of faith in America. He shared, “To have a great nation, you have to have religion. I believe that so strongly. There has to be something after we go through all of this — and that something is God.”

President Trump established the commission earlier this year by executive order.

As we listened to the comments President Trump made about faith and prayer, it was truly refreshing and uplifting to hear the unabashed need and desire for God and prayer in our nation. “America has always been a nation that believes in the power of prayer, and we will never apologize for our faith — ever, ever, never, never. We will never surrender our God-given rights. We will defend our liberties, our values, our sovereignty, and we will defend our freedom.”

Several children and families give poignant testimony to the Commission about being persecuted for their faith in public schools.  Twelve-year-old Shay from California shared how disturbing it was to be forced to read a book about gender ideology to his kindergarten buddy. “I’ve been a Christian my whole life and Jesus means everything to me… I believe kids like me should be able to live our faith at school without being forced to go against what we believe.”

The President announced that he and his administration are taking action to protect religious freedom for kids like Shay and their families in our nation. His Department of Education issued guidance to safeguard the right to prayer in public schools and reaffirm the importance of faith in American public life.

The President recounted how our nation was founded on the principles of faith, and we need to reaffirm those principles.  “When faith gets weaker, our country seems to get weaker. When faith gets stronger… good things happen for our country. It’s amazing the way it seems to work that way. Under the Trump Administration, we’re defending our rights and restoring our identity as a nation under God. We are One Nation Under God — and we always will be.” To celebrate 250 years of faith in America, the President unveiled his call to increase prayer for our nation in an initiative called America Prays, of which IFA is a founding organization. HUD Secretary Scott Turner introduced the initiative on behalf of the Trump Administration. “We are a nation who has always believed in the power of prayer.”

Intercessors for America was one of those Turner named as one of the initial supporting faith organizations of this movement. “Think about the miracles that would take place over the next year… the transformation that you and I could witness in communities all across the land,” Turner emphasized.

It was an answer to many intercessors’ prayers through the years–to have a President so clearly, unabashedly, and fiercely seek to protect religious freedom, value the faith community, and honor God. You, dear intercessor, had a role in this through faithful intercession. We are truly seeing miracles in our nation. Keep praying!

Google pays $300 on a regular basis. My latest salary check was $8600 for working 10 hours a week on the internet. My younger sibling has been averaging $19k for the last few months, and he constantly works approximately 24 hours. I’m not sure how simple it was once I checked it out.

This is my main concern………. https://feeltoup67.blogspot.com/

In Reading these Words from Our President and from Scott Turner, it brought that “tearing up” emotion that happens when I witness another Soul, a Fellow Brother or Sister who loves and reverence the Lord. The Lord of the Heavenly Host, the King of Glory.
God will continue to fight those things that plague America, and along with America the Western Nations. We also Pray for those Christians that are being persecuted for their Faith.
There are Principalities that refuse to let go of the “stronghold” they’ve set over Nations, States, Cities and the Leaders within. The ‘change’ we are witnessing is the Glory of God and His Faithfulness in the Covenant with those that Believe upon His Son, and Call Upon the Savior.
Pray🙏🏾 for our Nation, Our Leaders, and Our Right the Our Faith in the Lord God All Mighty.
Satan is trying to “break” us. Armor Up, Sharpen your “Sword”⚔️ 📖 ⚔️

This is another example of how God is moving and orchestrating HIS will and plan across the world. The Bible mentions how God raises up people to accomplish his plans and indeed he has as we have been and are all witnessing! Our reminder and overall comfort is in knowing God alone….is in charge at all times! Continue to pray for President Trump and all of his admin and leaders to follow God’s lead and to always seek his guidance before making important decisions. Pray for God’s protection for them all. Amen
Godspeed and may God always continue to bless the people and countries who believe in and follow God. Amen

Thank You, Yahweh! For Your Grace and Truth. And for Your mercies that are new every morning! Help us to fulfill Your Word that says, “If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves and PRAY and SEEK My Face and TURN from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will FORGIVE their sin and will HEAL their land.” 2 Chr. 7:14. We need You. Thank You for Your Blessings and Favor, Loving Father.

These results bring me to tears of joy! It’s been a long time since we’ve heard our President speak AND ACT so decisively on our country’s behalf, even though many have given lip service.
They simply did not have the courage to push through. Perhaps we were not praying strongly enough.
May the tribe of IFA increase!!

Thank You Father for blessing us as a people and providing a powerful (in Your power) President!

It is encouraging to have a President like Donald J. Trump to say, Blessed is the Nation who’s Lord is God. God is God of answered prayer. As we pray for the USA and our President, God is answering in a mighty way. Even News casters are invoking the name of God and sharing their faith. Praise you Lord Jesus!!!!!

I have and will continue to pray for schools. I live in Maryland, and extremely liberal state. I dread my grandchildren going to public school here. I am praying for revival in MD. Thank you President Trump. I am praying that your agenda continues for decades beyond your administration.

I’m so proud of our president. I thank God everyday for His mercy on us and what He has so blessed us with, that we are a nation under Him, created by and belong to Him. To God be the glory. I thank God all the time for President Trump and the strong cabinet He has given us.

Thank you President Trump, IFA and the Religious Freedom Commission and all the other Christian organizations that pray and seek God’s truth and His will to be done on this earth. Keep praying people. God hears our prayers and desires our prayers and thanksgiving. We celebrate God’s truth. Loved all the scriptures comments that others who wrote quoted. His word is powerful and is fulfilled. God continue to bless this Nation and we repent for the sins we have committed. God continue to spread your grace and mercy on us.

We praise God for yall ! 🙌❤️✝️🔥
Thank you for writing this !
What a powerful encouragement to hear President Trump boldly honoring God and acknowledging His place in our nation! Truly, this is an answer to years of faithful intercession—
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice Prov 29 .
My heart is stirred with gratitude, because this is not only a victory for religious freedom, but also a witness to the covenant-keeping God who hears the cries of His people.

These declarations remind us of Psalm 33:12: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen for His inheritance.
We are witnessing the fulfillment of 2 Chronicles 7:14—when God’s people humble themselves, pray, and seek His face, He hears from heaven and heals the land.

It strengthens my resolve to keep standing on the wall in prayer, knowing thst Pres Trump sees and the nation sees that heaven is moving in response. We are seeing tangible evidence that prayer shifts the course of a nation. The effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous avails much James 5:
Hallelujah—this is a moment of hope and a call to press in even deeper! What a blessing to be a part and stand in the wall with IFA. Excellent encouragement!

Wonderful story about our President and the Trump administration.
I stopped at an estate sale recently and found a book named “If My People”, A Prayer Guide for Our Nation.” It is published by Thomas Nelson and has a 40 day format with inserts every other day about famous Americans of Faith beginning with George Washington. Should be required reading for all public servants.

Yesterday’s gathering at the Museum of the Bible was historic and pivotal in America’s history. God hears the voice of ALL who pray in America for our country, leaders and one another. PRAYER really DOES CHANGE things!

    prayer is only heard from OUR GOD, THE ONE TRUE GOD….OUR LORD AND SAVIOR…
    IF YOU ARE A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN!!!
    BE CAREFUL of praying to any other God they are not the ONE TRUE GOD!!! So therefore it is NOT religion we need…..it is JESUS CHRIST!!!
