I Prayed have prayed
Lord, abuse of the law is no law at all. Such lawlessness has got to stop. Help our nation! Give us true justice and vindication.
Reading Time: 4 minutes

On Thursday the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case against former President Trump for involvement in the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The question before the court is whether Trump is immune from prosecution. The justices asked important questions about the nature and scope of presidential immunity.

Trump had hoped to attend the Supreme Court hearing, but he was required to appear in another courtroom, in another state. Trump was in a New York court for the ongoing criminal trial involving alleged hush-money payments. These are just two of six cases being brought against him.

These seeming legalized attempts to keep Trump from being elected president again constitute what many now call “lawfare.” What is lawfare? The online Collins dictionary defines it as “the strategic use of legal proceedings to intimidate or hinder an opponent.” In other words: It’s the weaponization of our nation’s laws to hinder a political opponent who can perhaps not be defeated otherwise.

IFA has prepared a special report about lawfare in election politics and how we can pray about it. Download it here.

How You Can Pray About Lawfare

Lawfare may look like a mere political tug of war, but it goes much deeper than that.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).

The deliberate abuse of the law is a spiritual reality. Demonic forces are behind it, eroding absolute truth, justice, basic fairness, and the knowledge of right and wrong. This will ultimately bring a nation to its knees, especially one founded on the Christian principles of freedom and justice.

Pray that the Supreme Court justices and other judges overseeing these cases would make wise and right decisions.

Much has been spoken, written, and posted about the potential bias of the many judges involved in Trump’s cases, as well as that of the prosecutors and attorneys. But have you considered praying for these representatives of law? Below is a list of the justices and judges involved in the current cases. Intercede for all these judges by name, so that their decisions would be founded on true wisdom, and not come from any place of personal ambition or self-seeking.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace (James 3:13–18).

  • Chief Justice John Roberts
  • Justice Clarence Thomas
  • Justice Samuel Alito
  • Justice Sonia Sotomayor
  • Justice Elena Kagan
  • Justice Neil Gorsuch
  • Justice Brett Kavanaugh
  • Justice Amy Coney Barrett
  • Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
  • Judge Juan M. Merchan – acting justice of the New York State Supreme Court – hush money case
  • Judge Scott McAfee – Fulton County Superior Court – GA RICO case
  • Judge Aileen Cannon – District judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida – classified documents case
  • Judge Tanya Chutkan – District judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia – Jan 6 case
  • Judge Arthur Engoron – Judge serving on the Manhattan Supreme Court – property values case

Pray that everything hidden in darkness will be brought into the light.

Here’s an example of some hidden things that are being brought to light. White House guest logs show that Nathan Wade, one of the attorneys in the Georgia racketeering case, was at the White House for meetings the day before special counsel Jack Smith brought the charges in the case being heard in the Supreme Court today. Wade was later discovered to be having an adulterous relationship with Fani Willis, the Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney.

God is bringing things to light.

Pray that God would protect our election processes from any legal wrangling that gives advantage to one party over another and further undermines trust in government.

These cases are impacting the nation in many ways. Even the ultraliberal Washington Post ran a commentary that includes this admission: “Millions of Americans now think Biden is trying to retain power by putting his main opponent in jail.”

Pray for the triumph of justice and righteousness in every one of these cases.

Download the new special report for a list of all the cases against President Trump. Bring each case to the heavenly tribunal and plead with the Judge seated there for justice worthy of the name.

Pray for a fear of God to so overcome this nation as to forbid our courts of law from ever being abused again.

Law courts are established as a place for rulings of justice, fairness, and righteousness — not as a combat zone for the promotion of sick and corrupt political ambitions. Ask God to mercifully restore our courts and our land.

Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter (Isaiah 59:14).

IFA has prepared a special report about lawfare in election politics and how we can pray about it, including summaries of the key lawfare cases going on right now.

The dialogue of the Supreme court (conservative judges leading the way) indicates that they are leaning toward separating presidential acts between those that are private and those that are public. They got Trump’s lawyer to agree that when he went through his private lawyer that those actions were private. They seem also to be considering pushing some decisions to a lower court so that they have less to rule on.

Some of the language indicates that they regard some of the election fraud claims as fraudulent.

This means that there is a good possibility that Donald Trump could face charges.

I think some of you need to consider that here are conservative judges who are every bit as devoted to God as you are that when they as experts on the law examine the evidence, they don’t agree with you.

Heavenly Father as I was pondering about how to pray about this lawfare and the abuse that is in our courts, the abuse of lawyers, of judges is in actuality a crime what and how they present. We as prayer warriors must step in with prayers for President Trump. Psalm 47:5 “ seems to be a good start” God has ascended amid shouting, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.“ Hey if God can shout so can we. Though God is love , He is also a warrior. And Holy Spirit wants to awaken His warrior heart in us, prayer warriors, the churches. We need to pray and roar like a lion. We need to pray the rafters down just like when the walls and The Fall of Jericho came abruptly on the 7th day of marching— because they did what God said to do. “ The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city! (Joshua 5:13-6:27) Prayer and doing what God tells us to do is a win. Win solution. #1 Pray Gods words, per the prophet’s words- there is an aligning among my warriors my lions will usher a shift on earth. Powers will shift, authority will shift, and ungodly rulers will be unseated. God we will apply and help You to overturn lawlessness laws that are not Constitutional. God has given us decrees and declarations to pray and use. We decree that evil laws that have been enacted in this nation shall be overturned in Jesus’ name. God we declare every law that restricts the free liberty and any involvement of DJT, we break the power of every mindset, of the liberal officials that are holding on to regulations, measures, and codes that are anti biblical and unconstitutional. We pray that the lawyers fight for pursuing a godly decent, honest way of life. God we are asking and declaring that the laws that are infringing and endangering innocent people and our America be immediately dismissed. God I feel in my spirit that the shouts, and the cries in desperate times will and has activated a warfare strategy that will catch the enemy off guard. Father God all that are vile, wrong will be rejected, as not acceptable. God we need Your Support to not allow these trial’s of lawless to go on and on. God we need the prayers of righteous to rule the land. God send the Angel armies to surround the darkness so that Your light will shine brighter and restore Faith, Hope in You. Father we thank You for all You are doing in our nation and nations of the earth. We thank You for standing by us and the role as Prayer Warriors. We thank You for teaching us by using scriptures, decrees, declarations. We are so humbled and honored and see our role as one of serving You. God we stand with Your America 🇺🇸 we will never allow it to be stolen. We praise You for allowing our forgiveness to be given a second chance. Father we see Freedom coming then we can shout louder calling forth from the Holy Spirit all of the sounds of Revivals coming forth and will not be stopped. Proverbs- 14-37 “ The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.” I pray more will come to understand that fear of God is love, “ The fear of the Lord leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm. Laws are to be honored not mocked! God You know we need Donald Trump as well as You as Your representative- HE loves You!

Judge Merchan has listed as his birthday and birth year as 1962 or 1963 and supposedly came here from Columbia with his parents when he was 6 as their youngest child. Why don’t they know his birthday? This is bizarre.

Father God, give clear understanding of your forever eternal truth. That what you plan to do to others shall also come upon you. That the seed planting principle is eternal truth. The things they doset the very honesty of the judgement, justice and process before which they shall stand. May the eyes of their understanding be enlightened to your hope and calling for righteousness in judgement. I Jesus name Amen

Lord, I pray the Supreme Court Justices and other judges that may be asked to sit in to oversee these complex cases, to seek you sincerely. Lord, please show them so they don’t make bad decisions. We pray you bring light to every situation that is brought before the Supreme Court for a decision. May it be the exact, correct, and perfect decision. (Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret that shall be made manifest, neither anything hid that shall not be known and come abroad.) And now all these illegals are spread across our entire nation, and the election only six months away, I’m asking that not one illegal vote for any of our candidates be given. Not one. Even though some are planning on winning using those illegal votes, not one will support their endeavors. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for the triumph of justice and righteousness in every one of these cases. And may the ones attempting to do injustice fear the Lord more than their enemies or their companions. Amen.

Thank you IFA for the very much needed support and assistance in guiding us to pray for Trump.
It’s very evident (as God is clearly making it so) that a great evil has aligned itself against this man.
I believe that many of us have been waiting on the Lord for what to do, according to His will, in
the matter. I know I have been waiting and praying and looking to Him for over a year. He is
encouraging us to stand on His Word and trust Him above all else. Now, is the time to act on our
faith in Him and His righteousness! Our desire must never be based on a personal agenda, but
only and always completely on His will. I stand in agreement with those who humble themselves
to pray for righteousness in our nation and to praise our Lord and Saviour for His mercy and love.

God is a good, righteous, loving, kind, forgiving, merciful, correcting, truthful, all sovereign, all knowing, all powerful God. And I know that He answers prayers. So I am praying For God’s will to be done in our US government, and Trump’ s trail.
Praying for Jesus ‘s justice to win, rule. We need A strong Christian President, that obeys Jesus .
US, the world, are in a battle for our life. Read the Bible and you will understand. God bless America. Amen

Lord Jesus, You are completely aware of the complete and total farce that this “lawfare” has been put upon President Trump. I pray for all of the Justices of the Supreme court in the rendering of their presidential immunity decision. I pray that all of this total nonsense of “lawfare” would fail miserably, and that President Trump will be completely and totally vindicated. Let this come to pass. Thank You, Jesus.

GOD is allowing this.
Too bad that it needed to happen to bring many of us to our knees
Where we should have been all along thanking GOD for the privilege of living in this greatly blessed land–The home of the brave and the land of the free.
Father, forgive us for our gross ingratitude and lack of obedience to the clear teachings of Your Word in Holy Scripture.
Open our eyes Father to the Truth of Your Word, and deliver us from ALL evil for Thy Names Sake. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, you promise to silence those who rise up falsely against us. We pray that for Mr. Trump in this season. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 We pray strength for him and his family and plead Psalms 44:5 Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down those who rise up against us. and Isaiah 41:11 Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. Your will be done.

Dear Mr. President Biden,

Thanks for joining us in prayers for President Donald Trump and his Vice President Governor Pence. I pray each day from the time I am awake to the time I fall asleep with my eyes closed unwillingly until I gain conscience and He will me be. May we be inclusive to protect ourselves against foes who do not deserve rights among our Divine Creator living within God’s laws and who deny Creatures their birth rights of liberty and freedoms. Holy Virgin Mary, Please pray for us sinners in Jesus Name. Amen

🙏 Thank you,

Manhattan District case is nonsense. Joe Biden mishandled Classified documents as much as Donald Trump, which mean both are guilty and neither qualified for office. The Supreme Court will probably separate out the different aspects in the case of presidential authority because while the president has to make bold decisions, there are times when a president could cross the line. Donald Trump questioning the election is about the same as Hillary Clinton questioning the election, but Donald Trump was the president, which could mean he probably overstepped his role as president in asking an official in Georgia to ‘to find enough votes’ for him.

(His being charged unfairly in the Manhattan case is not a reason to vote for him.)

Lord, have mercy on this country and open the juries’ eyes in the Manhattan District court. Give the Supreme Court wisdom is deciding where the line should be drawn with the authority of the president because only you know the future. Have mercy on those who were exposed to risk by Biden’s and Trump’s carelessness with regard to national security. because they are the truly innocent parties.

Father, I ask you in Jesus name to move in the minds and hearts of SCOTUS to rule in Trump’s favor. Father, put a hedge around Trump so the arrows of the enemy would fall to the ground. Lord, please put your hand on the election process of the U.S. so that anything the enemy will be exposed in Jesus name. Father, we know Trump is not our savior and he can’t turn this country around. Only one can turn this country around and it is Almighty God! Father, pour your Spirit upon us all; revive the Church and let there be one more Great Awakening in our country and in the world, I ask in Jesus precious name.

Gracious Heavenly Father, YOU see what is happening here in our courts and the persecution that Trump faces, surrounding him, day and night for years, without end, from corrupt congress people to corrupt judges to corrupted D.A. Let these people be exposed for the egregious corruption of using lawfare to interfere with the election of Donald Trump. Please help the SCOTUS judges discern wisely this subject of ‘immunity” to air on the side of fairness and what is right. In addition, please help those with an honest heart to make sure we have a fair and honest election with paper ballets and honest law enforcement to observe & protect the process. Please protect Trump and his family from further harm. Set your angels round about them. Give them all your peace – but most importantly, I ask that Donald Trump’s heart will stay open to YOU, Oh Lord — and someday he will know you, not only his Savior, but as LORD. Thank you, Lord, for caring about this matter – Asking this in Jesus Name.

FATHER GOD please send YOUR angels and YOUR laborers to surround President Trump and all of the demonic D.A.s that are persecuting him to stop him from becoming president regardless of what the people want! FATHER GOD, joe biden has committed many acts of treason; and fraud with his son and many in the Ukraine against the United States; also he has committed fraud against us Americans by literally stealing the 2020 election with his armies of ballot box stuffers, counting votes more than once and counting votes from dead people as well as those in prison who are not allowed to vote! Please send YOUR Justice to President Trump who is innocent of the charges he is accused of, and send YOUR Justice to Joe biden and his administration for their cheating and many lies that just keeps on happening! Please deliver Americans from the evil of the biden administration that has touched all of us with its harm in JESUS MIGHTY NAME!

Thank you Almighty God. Thank you also for protecting Israeli’s everywhere. Amen and Amen
