Fetterman’s Hoodie: A Reminder to Pray the Impossible
Fetterman’s Hoodie: A Reminder to Pray the Impossible
UPDATE: Sen. Fetterman decided to sit out the DNC this year, claiming to want to spend more time with his family. As far-left policies and anti-Israel protests take over the DNC, Fetterman, more moderate and certainly more pro-Israel, would have stood out. Is his decision to sit out the DNC more evidence of God transforming and using him?
At 6-foot-8, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman looms tall not only in person and politics, but also as a prayer point full of unconventional possibilities.
Last February, our IFA program team put a creative spin on a staff presentation by calling it “Mission Possible,” complete with a high-adrenaline theme song and black sunglasses. The point of the presentation was to cast a vision for how prayer makes the impossible possible.
“Agents in the field” (state leaders) Bill and Betsy West were a key feature in our presentation, making a dramatic guest appearance on Zoom to give “intel” on Senator John Fetterman, a politician known for bucking the Democrats and the Senate dress code with his eclectic blend of blue-collar liberalism, outsider populism, baggy gym shorts, and hoodies.
Bill and Betsy reported that news of their senator’s stroke came shortly after their state group committed to pray for more “damascus road experiences” for their legislators. They were amazed at how Fetterman’s stroke and recovery became a “defining moment,” reshaping his mindset as well as softening their own hearts as a state group to press in with intercession. God prompted them to send encouraging notes and make calls to Fetterman’s office while he was hospitalized, and the response was always positive.
What no one in our staff meeting realized last February was that our zany mission-possible theme captured reality more precisely than we knew.
Recently, Betsy texted IFA State Prayer Group Coordinator Amy Sabat when she spotted Fetterman wearing a “Mission Possible” sweatshirt on FOX News. What a surprise to discover that “Mission Possible” had been part of Fetterman’s campaign slogan for Senate! Our staff team couldn’t help but feel energized by the confirmation that God had pointed our prayer focus and theme in the right direction.
Inch by inch, Fetterman’s story unfolds a picture of hope and transformation for Pennsylvania intercessors. Several months after the stroke, Fetterman surprised everyone with his feisty support for Israel following the terrorist attack on October 7. When Palestinian protesters came to chant around his home, a remodeled car garage in Braddock, Pennsylvania, he went up to his roof and unfurled the Israeli flag, telling protesters to “get the heck off” his property.
Another jaw-dropping moment came when Fetterman pushed back against squatters, emphasizing, “I am not woke.” Betsy says her state prayer group wondered, “Where is this coming from?” But then she saw the Senator on a program where he made the comment that when you have a near-death experience, “your whole thought process is altered.” She immediately attributed his altered thought process to God answering her prayers to give a “lifeline” for her state, which can be such a discouraging place to live with so few elected officials holding to biblical values.
Granted, there is at least one thing the stroke has not changed: Fetterman is characteristically unafraid to rock the boat. Even last week, Fetterman called out Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro for being willing to step on anyone to climb the ladder, warning that he would not make a good running mate to Vice President Kamala Harris.
These unvarnished comments hint at Fetterman’s spiritual potential, according to Betsy. “I look at this and think, ‘God, what an example he would be,’” she says. “We know that the day Fetterman accepts Jesus he will be vocal and will not hide it. Until then, sometimes I will get emails from intercessors, saying, ‘Look what he did! Look what he just said!’ I say, ’Listen, he is a work in progress and God has a hand on him and God has chosen him for some reason. You can line him up with anyone in the Bible … I know that when he has that revelation moment, there will be no stopping him.’”
It’s God’s miracle-working power that Betsy, the Pennsylvania prayer group, and the staff here at IFA continue to cling to in our prayers that God would use Fetterman throughout his time in office. Bill and Betsy hope to meet Senator Fetterman one day and share how much God loves him and stirred the hearts of countless intercessors to pray for him and his family. Until then, the glimpse of the words on his hoodie are a reminder to dream big.

Nicely done! Now how do we see the Mission Possible piece? An embedded link in the article would have been great. Couldn’t find it on the site either, when searched. Thanks.
We serve an awesome God. He uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise!!
Praises to our Father God.Thanks to Him for healing John Fetterman and for Fetterman’s staunch stand for Israel..Thsnks for prayer warriors who didn’t give up and keep on praying! I’’ve been praying for 2 years for George Soros because God told me to pray for him. He told me to pray for George Soros 3 times.I didn’t know, or like George, So I asked God to show me how to pray for him, I asked others to pray for him too. I asked IFA leaders to pray with me once and they did.I asked God to soften his heart and God wanted me to include his sons.
Recently,I read George Soros has cancer so I continue to pray.My thanks to PA prayer warriors for Fetterman who encouraged me now to keep on praying
for whomever God consistently leads us to pray for.Praise his holy name. In the powerful name of Jesus..Amen
Reading that comment about prayers for John Fetterman gives me encouragement to pray for things hard to deal with as well. Life can be difficult and discouraging when you keep praying and it feels like you never get a answer. Now we know God promises to answer our prayers because we ask and do those things pleasing in His sight.
I will remember to ask Him to give people a near death experience if this is what it takes to make them realize God is real! But to please bless the person and bring them to Jesus.
What an awesome testimony of thinking out of the box!! God is our example! He thinks out of the box too!! We are all a work in progress. Please don’t criticize when you don’t see what you want or are praying for…God is at work!!
Heavenly Father, continue with the good work You began with Senator Fetterman. He called out to You in prayer when he was at his lowest, while in the hospital shortly after being elected into the Senate. You heard and replied in a miraculous way! Thank You, Lord for what You havwew done and will do in John Fetterman’s life! We praise You and thank You so much!
This is great news! Thanks to Betsy and our prayer group here in Pa. With God, ALL things are possible.
Thank you Senator Fetterman for the stand you are taking. Pro Israel and not being WOKE. Sandra Bedford
God does the impossible to our surprise. Thank you Mission Possible for your prayers and reaching out to Fetterman when he was hospitalized. God is at work!
Praise God ! Praise God! Thanks for sharing this update!
Praying God in his marvelous grace saves Senator Fetterman and keeps him a democrat …and that God uses him to start a come to Jesus revival within the Democratic Party. We need saved and sold out to Jesus Democrats just like we need saved and sold out to Jesus Republicans …we need iron to sharpen iron on both sides…that we can once again have a checks and balances system on both sides. And may we, and they, remember they are working for “we the people.” We are suppose to be the real leaders of America …Lord God, help it be so once again! In Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen.
Is it possible that God has touched Fetterman’s heart. I pray for him as he tries to sort out what he believes and what his party is asking of people. I pray that he can see what God has put out for his people and that he is more like them then his party.
MR FETTERMAN IS ASURPRISING INDIVIDUAL.AT FIRST GALCE I DIDN’T APPROVE OF HIM ASSUMING HE WAS ANOTHER CORRUPT POLITICIAN. BUT HE SURPRISESME WITH HIS HONEST OPINION THAT ON SEVERALOCCAISIONS I HAVE AGREED WITH. MRFETTERMAN, GOD SPEED.YOUARE IN DANGEROUS WATERS AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE BRAVE, SAVE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. REMEMBER ALL WARS ARE BANKERS WARS.
I prayer that Fetterman finds Jesus and is saved and then switches to the Republican party !!!!!!
Praise the Lord! God is so good and Faithful.
Praying that he will have a Holy Ghost experience and not just him
but all our political leaders and people of every nation.
LORD do it for Fetterman!
YOU did it for all of us!
Draw him and Allow him to come to come to you, “to know you the One True God and Jesus whom you sent”
And when You do we know His life will not be without effect.
In Jesus’ name I ask.
I am encouraged by this prayer movement and pray that every state in the union get behind this boldness in prayer for our nation. Elected officials need prayer, period. Secondly, I so throughly agree that we need to pray for and encourage patience in every politicians “process of enlightening of Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior.” I believe God is hearing our prayers and working on His timeline. Greater things will continue to happen if we stay on the wall in diligent and fervent prayer. God has a plan over the plot of the enemy. Look for the light that shines brighter in deep darkness. Praise is our weapon!
As a Pennsylvania resident familiar with Fetterman’s very liberal views, I also was very surprised at his transformation following his medical difficulties. I never imagined he would buck his party as he has done, especially since, as Lt. Gov. of PA, he spent most of his time in every PA county pushing for legalization of marijuana, and pardoning dangerous criminals from PA jails. Since his election and recovery, I have felt the call to pray for his complete conversion, hoping that God may redeem this man, and inspire him to use his power in the Senate to represent PA in a godly manner –which is sorely needed in our state.
What a blessing this article about Senator Fetterman. It encourages me to pray believing God will answer in some way.
Jesus I pray the eyes of John Fetterman eyes be enlightened and he will know the hope of His calling. I pray salvation for him and his family.. Give him a dramatic salvation experience and let him feel the love of God like never before.Fill him with the Holy Spirit,
Thank you for sharing this Testimony of praying for Senator Fetterman. It is a Great Reminder that we have been Commanded to NOT complain or make fun of our Leaders, BUT PRAY FOR THEM. I’m from Ohio. I want to be more Faithful in praying for our State Leaders especially our Governor and Senators Sherod Brown and J.D. Vance. I’ve Really Felt the Burden to pray for J.D. Vance. Psalm 91 Protection over him and his Family, and Loved Ones!!! Thank You again.
AMEN Thank. you so very much for sharing!!!! Now I know how to pray and will. Jane
Thank you for this great article! We sometimes need reminders that sometimes what we think we see is not necessarily what we get. I agree w/you to keep in prayer ALL Senators, Reps, Federal & States’, & ALL “politicians”, etc., etc., etc. God Bless you all!
Father God you celebrate over each child who repents and gives you his heart. May you celebrate over Senator Fetterman in your perfect time.
In Jesus’s name Amen
Pray for Fetterman to switch parties and become a Republican! Until then he needs to go.
I believe God will save anyone that opens the door to Him. It takes a spiritual awakening with the Holy Spirit, a decision to turn one’s life over to the care of God, surrender to God’s ways, and repentance. Anyone can be saved when these are present. People looking in may not trust the conversion immediately. But actions speak louder than words.
Amen. Thank you for the reminder that we are all a work in progress. Satan has been deceiving since creation. We need to have a close relationship with God to be able to see clearly the truth and pray for each other. God bless all who seek Truth.
Howdy folks, well okay.. so I could not help myself.. I had to copy and paste this following quote from the article here. Sounds to me just like someone else we know-, who’s an outsider-, and an outrageous personality, but nobody can seem to find anything but criticism for him-, even the people that follow and and care about him-, seem to be uncomfortable with him, because he is so outrageous.. and that would be none other than our glorious President Trump. So how come it’s okay for John fetterman to be strange and be an outsider-, but it’s not okay for Donald Trump-,……..people(?)
how do we explain that…
Lord the parallels here..are-, if not astounding, at least noteworthy-, and once again my fellow human beings seem to..if not insist-,at least lean towards ignoring-,or being oblivious to the obvious.. maybe we just like downtrodden type people that wear hoodies-, more than we like brash polished types that wear expensive suits. Who knows. But I know Donald Trump deserves every bit as much latitude and tolerance as John fetterman does.. and I know he loves America a whole lot more. And he’s done a whole lot more for America than pretty much any human being on the planet since the founders. I hope all of the politically correct staff writers here are noting this. And at this point is painfully obvious that just about no human beings opinion, education, foundation.. in either literacy, christianity, or their education, is a fail safe Beach to Anchor our hopes of survival on.. and that our only hope, is so painfully obvious now- as of this glaring example- are in Jesus seeing to it that we survive, becausec the latitude and longitude of our logic and our opinions are painfully lacking in depth, sanity, and logic.😬😪🤔🤥🤥🧐🙃🙃😊✝️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏❤️
Lord, help us
“Until then, sometimes I will get emails from intercessors, saying, ‘Look what he did! Look what he just said!’ I say, ’Listen, he is a work in progress and God has a hand on him and God has chosen him for some reason. You can line him up with anyone in the Bible … I know that when he has that revelation moment, there will be no stopping him”
Your points are well-taken. Your post, along with a post from Sheri (below) ,poses the premise that President Trump should get the same consideration. And, yes, he should.
What did come to mind as I read this post was that it was reported that Sen. Fetterman backed Omar, D-MN, who was supportive of, remains supportive, and whose daughter was among the protesters against the war in Gaza. The dichotomy for me IS unsettling. I can’t explain that either..
Thank you for the post-
As you said, “Don’t pay any attention to what he says, watch what he does.” That saying applies to Dems even more so.
I prayed for Fetterman, Jesu is on the move in his life!
So good to hear! God works in ways that we can’t imagine but that’s because he is a miracle working God. I have to keep reminding myself that our God is in control and working day and night as we trust Him. Thanks for the information. God is good.
There was something written that was said by John Fetterman around the time of his stroke , concerning one of the social
issues and I felt at that time that he needed the Lord, and I had a feeling that he would be open to hearing about the Lord, so I replied and told him my concern for him spiritually in an email. I can’t remember the exact words now.
So it seems that many of us have been getting the same spiritual concern for his salvation.
I do pray that he soon would give his life to the Lord.
🙏🙏🙏
Only by God’s love, grace and mercy. Amen!!!
Is he as amazing as John the Baptist eating bugs and honey?! I love this guy and I’m from NC. The Father gets the glory and we learn that ” suits” or those religious and glossy are not what the Lord is using in this time. May he have favour, protection and provision and his family as well. May he see Yeshua face to face and lead PA OUT! Please pray for us in NC. We need a Godly Governor like Mark Robinson desperately. Father, may this not only be an encouragement but a prayer for all “stand up” “Black Robe Regiment” Christian leaders, (think the Revolutionary War righteous Pastors who were also fighters for our freedom)!
We need prayer in Colorado as well! For the governor to be saved and surrender his life to Jesus 🙏🏻
And for Washington state !! It feels like a very anti-God state with all the decisions that seem to be important to our national senators and state leaders.
Praise Go for your prayers! Saul to Paul conversions for those in our government! Nothing is too difficult for God!
Wow! What an unusual transformation that John Fetterman, who we considered to be very confused, even hopeless in the beginning has gone through a healing of his mental state. It appears that a stroke resulted in a reversal of his cognizance. His stance in support of Israel and the Jewish people was thrilling to this evangelical who prays regularly for The Peace of Jerusalem which is a scriptural mandate. I will pray for this man and I’ll watch what our Lord will do to use him in this World for such a time as this.
I delight in praying for the impossible. God’s arm is not too short. I pray and agree with so many of these responses.
Like a mighty wind, Holy Spirit please once again and blow through our country causing many Damascus Road experiences for leaders. We are desperate for your revelation and conviction.
WOW!!! 🙂 God is awesome!!! I will share this with my sisters and brother, and we will be praying for Fetterman!
I’m amazed Thank you Pennsylvania intercessor for praying for him
I have this deal with God: If I dream about someone, I put him or her on my prayer list. I have been very surprised by those for whom I must pray now. They include the most heinous people in politics and Hollywood.
Well, a few months ago I dreamed of John Fetterman. I did not like him. I thought the election in PA had been stolen from Dr. Oz. I shuddered at his opinions, and I thought he looked like Lurch on “The Addams Family.” But I prayed anyway.
Hallelujah!! God knows better than I do who needs prayer, and He is listening!! God bless you guys. I will add my prayers to yours now for Senator Fetterman, and we will see a miracle!!
Please pray for the men in my family to have a Damascus event to open their eyes to God’s truth. Thank you…
just prayed your request
This article is very encouraging!
I pray that Trump can talk with Fetterman and perhaps they can find common ground.
Thank Lord, for reminding us that with you all things are possible. In Jesus’ name, Anen!
What a great and mighty God we serve! May God continue to work within John Fetterman’s heart, drawing him to his knees, fully surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. 🙏🏼
What a great story.. With God all things are possible and HE hears the prayers of a righteous servant. I am encouraged to keep praying…. God is at work… and HE is doing things in the hearts and souls of individuals that I cannot begin to see or understand.
Thank you, Bill and Betsy!!
God bless you the Pennsylvania prayer group and Senator Fetterman.
PA is a key state in the election, Trump had his near death experience there also.
This story gave me a whole new perspective on Fetterman, loving the sometimes unlovable, and how to pray with a better heart.
Thank you 🙏
Good for you and for God. You are doing what we are all called to di, love our enemies. Love makes us pray for their eternal life, a prayer God will hear and answer. We have witnessed 3 of the strong men with world wide voices we have prayed 3 years for converted. There ate 2 more and we are adding to the list. Pray for our enemies. That they become children of God, hear His voice and obey God. They will be loud strong voices for our nation. For freedom of worship, free elections, safety of police, fire and military. Our God is amazing! I love Him and you!
I have been praying for John Fetterman for a while now, and he has been on my heart since his stroke. I am praying that he finds new life in Christ, peace, wisdom, and purpose.
I have been praying for his salvation ever since he got elected. Praise God, He can save those who are the utmost!
Two comments caught my eye. Lord, I’m thankful that as we pray You do not leave us in the dark – You give us “Holy Spirit intel”. Help us to take full advantage of that revelation as we pray. And may every “fetter” binding John Fetterman and his colleagues be broken. Oh, that they may all be free to serve You through Your salvation – to the uttermost!
Thank You Jesus for Your great love and power!
WITH ALMIGHTY GOD THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS IMPOSSIBLE,
Hallelujah!
TO ALMIGHTY GOD BE ALL THE GLORY, HES STILL IN CONTROL.
Thank you for moving and praying for Sen Fetterman. Thank you, just as God would have it, for reporting the same so we can collectively pray for the impossible. We as Believers and as God’s people/Church know the end of the story, but we also are called to claim God’s promises as in 2 Chron 7:14 which, starts in each of our own lives. Across the board we all have “impossible” requests that the HS urges us to hold firm. I have added this one to my prayer time list and leave the timing of when its fruitfulness is revealed to Him. Thanks again and God bless!
I’m not particularly fond of the clothing hoodie and baggie shorts, but dress shirts and ties have not helped other senators and representatives make wise choices and vote correctly either. His hoodie doesn’t bother me as much as the caving to dress code in the House of Representatives in allowing Muslim attire to continue…and the Quran to be legally used in oaths and the spewing of anti-Semitic hatred going un-touched by reprimands in the House. It is the bending of rules for some and the expanding or ignoring of rules for some as opposed to strict observance of ‘the law’ for others which bother me. We need to continue to pray for John Fetterman’s health and eventual salvation; but not ignore the double-tiered legal system which is killing ‘we the people.’ When will the Jan6 prisoners be released!!!!!!!
JANUARY 6!!!!! FREEDOM TO PEACEFULLY ASSEMBLE..FREEDOM TO PROTEST..FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION!!!!..OF SPEECH. and the written Word.
Amen
Herb, it is astounding how many people don’t see that day as the well planned set up it was, proof by the “unselected” committee. Praying more eyes be open to the Truth.
“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;” (1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV)
Read the whole chapter 1 and chapter 2
All Glory to You Abba Father, You are the Mighty One, You are the God of the impossible.
Thank You Father God for all the answered prayers. Thank You for showing us that You are still in control and You are still the God of the impossibles. And that You hear our petitions, You do hear our cries, You do see our tears and that You do answer our prayers.
Father God, we continue to stand in intercession for Senator Fetterman and his family that You will continue to increase him spiritually. We ask for wisdom, understanding and boldness and a strong hedge of protection. Use him for Your Glory, bless the works of his hand, give him the words to speak with boldness in the Senate and/or in his leadership capacity. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
….And continue to heal him physically in his body and his mind and his nervous system-, that all impairment from the stroke is removed, in the authority of Jesus I declare these things, Amen
The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord like the rivers of water, and He turns it wherever way He wishes (Prov 21: 1) …..may this be true for John as well.
It would be wonderful if John would become a believer, how much more so if all in every walk of life would seek the glory of God at all times; myself included.
Convicted to pray for Spartacus from NJ
We just moved to Pennsylvania last month, so Mr. Fetterman is now our senator. Dear Father, we pray that all the work and battles being done by the IFA intercessors in PA will continue to bear fruit, resulting in Mr. Fetterman’s salvation, and a great revival breaking out in Philadelphia, and all of Pennsylvania. Please let this state be known as a swing state for Jesus! We pray in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
What an amazing God we serve! HE is always moving & working in mysterious ways. My prayer is God’s Holy Spirit creates in me a clean heart & to restore a Right Spirit within me. We are all work in progress & our hearts is where God is always working on first. This story shows this & encourages me even more how valuable our prayers are to God!
FETTRMAN KEEPS SURPRISING ME. SO LORD GUIDE HIM, INSTRUCT HIM, CORRRECT HIM INTERPRET FOR HIM. I ASK INN JESUS; NAME
AMEN
I live in Pennsylvania. The southeastern part of Pennsylvania is a stronghold of the Democrat Party, especially Philadelphia. You may have noted that President Biden comes to Philly often, and now the Presidential debate in September will be held in Philadelphia. Sinners always excuse their sin, but I think that the removal of the Bible from public education and the Vietnam war both had much to do with the “multi-culturalism” (“Your truth may not be my truth”) we see now and the departure from Biblical values, especially in the Philly region. There are many churches, but they may not have “the power of Christ’s resurrection.”
Western Pennsylvania has at least two Christian colleges: Geneva College, from which I have a degree, and Grove City College. Let’s hope their influence reaches Senator Fetterman and that the Lord continues to work in his heart. Thanks for your encouraging report; it should help my prayer life.
Definitely agree about the removal of Bible from public education, thank you for the history about Pennsylvania- which is the seat of our Nations government really, as William Penn founded it there. Nothing created by God thrives when Jesus is removed.
The vacuum that is created immediately is filled by the demonic
Our Lord is so faithful, my heart is just bursting with gratitude and praise. Thanks for shraring!
Keep up the Holy Spirit led intercessions!! So necessary!! Joining you in intercessions for sooo many needs and situations these days!!!🕎✝️💟🙏🙌❤️
I believe John Fetterman is very bold to do what he does, & I will definitely not be voting for Kamala Harris for President I pray 🙏 that lives will be touched as Donald Trump wins the election.
Made my day..
Initially I disliked him and how wrong I was. Now praying for him and asking forgiveness from my Heavenly Father. He is the way and the life and the Truth. Amen
This is a wonderful report! And we thank God for it! For truly, it would appear that this man is indeed a work in progress through the Holy Spirit.
Athought I had:
Can we apply this same thought process to Donald Trump? Many believers do not. support him because not everything he does exemplifies what a believer in Christ might do or say.
But perhaps we should give him the same consideration and prayer as we give John Fetterman.
God himself is no respecter of persons.
I believe Donald Trump is God’s Cyrus for this time. It’s time for all believers to ask God to open their eyes to His wisdom and truth. As you said, Sheri, perhaps he should be given the same consideration and prayer as we give John Fetterman.
Oh that more of us who claim to be in Christ would fully awake to the truth that our prayers are not only mission possible but are the gateway for God to be working on our behalf in thiscearth!
OK, Fetterman is a “work in progress” but we should be encouraged to pray for him until he finally sees the light of Christ and turns into His Kingdom.
I usually read IFA newsletters but for the last few years my inbox has been flooded with spam emails and I must have missed the one about praying for John Fetterman. However I also prayed, on my own, that God would have His hand upon JF and that God would heal him and change his life. I believe that many Christians prayed for him and we are seeing the answers to our prayers. Let us all continue to lift him up in prayer and to lift up those who have been elected to represent us. God is gracious and He answers prayers. I loved reading about him going up on his roof and unfurling the Israeli flag and telling the protestors to get off his property. Also love that he is not afraid to speak out when he feels strongly even if it is unpopular.
May God open the eyes of the blind to see, the ears of the deaf to hear, and mouth of the dumb to speak, and the legs and the feet of the lame to walk in the Democratic party In Jesus Christ of Nasereth name Amen.
Lord I thank you for John Fetterman and his willingness to speak out against that which is wrong, it’s not what is good for the party, but what is good for the people, he is a perfect example of what God can do
and how He uses unlikely people to carry out his message. I pray that he will come to know Jesus as his personal savior and what a blessing he would be because of his strength and boldness to speak out. 🙏🙏
Praise God! I love his support for Israel & his boldness about it!
We know God’s able to save & change lives.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this story. There were many times I wondered why God allowed this man to win a Senate seat. Lately, I have been surprised by some of his comments and decisions. I am encouraged by this story and will be praying more for Senator Fetterman.
Where two or three agree on something in God’s name……..Amen
THANK YOU. I feel so encouraged. It shows God’s compassion’s . I found myself smiling as I read and prayed for this Senator. I struggle with my “dislike” of various politicians. This reminded me it’s not who I dislike but who God loves. I am motivated to keep fighting the good fight. Thank you for reminding me of our ultimate goal to pray and live them info the Kingdom.
Does anyone think of what Rush Limbaugh is doing now. When I think of Rush, I think 🤔 of “Well done done Hood And Faithful servant”! That was only the beginning for Rush!
Ann, Thank you for your comment. That’s exactly how I feel about some politicians too. My attitude hasn’t been compassionate at all. This story enlighten me & moved my own heart to change. Every day we live & hear constantly the evil going on in hearts but God is the only one who can move on hearts to change them. We are all work in progress. Thanks Ann
Wow!!! I have always viewed John Fetterman as quite the conundrum!
You have now given me some understanding of this man, and yes, he could be a character in the Bible! And pray for him I will!!
This gives me so much renewed determination to ask God how to see those around me and how to pray with CONFIDENCE IN HIM, not fretting what my eyes see or ears hear, but staying laser focused on Jesus and what He says and calling things that aren’t as though they are, which they will be, according to God’s Word, will and way! Hallelujah!
Praise God for those who seek after His heart in how to pray for those in authority! May many more discover the power of battling in intercession with Holy Spirit intel.
In Jesus Name, for His full inheritance to be His. Amen
All Glory to You Abba Father, You are the Mighty One, You are the God of the impossible.
Thank You Father God for all the answered prayers. Thank You for showing us that You are still in control and You are still the God of the impossibles. And that You hear our petitions, You do hear our cries, You do see our tears and that You do answer our prayers.
Father God, we continue to stand in intercession for Senator Fetterman and his family that You will continue to increase him spiritually. We ask for wisdom, understanding and boldness and a strong hedge of protection. Use him for Your Glory, bless the works of his hand, give him the words to speak with boldness in the Senate and/or in his leadership capacity. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Father, We thank you for the diligent prayer group that has been seeking the “change” in John Fetterman. We thank you for seeing what is taking place in this man through prayer. We continue to pray with them and ask that you turn him from Saul into Paul. Mission Possible is always our way with you, Our Father God, Lord Jesus Christ. We sing a Hallelujah to you!!! We praise your Name forever. Amen
On the topic of dealing with the godlessness I. Our country. Hard to think of America in the same category as Babylon, but it may not be otherwise.
https://theprayersentry.com/2024/08/17/doing-life-in-trials/
Judges 16:21 states that Samson was bound with iron “fetters.” The Senator’s very name indicates chain-maker or a man in chains. And we know Who the Chain-Breaker is and that there is nothing impossible for Jesus! Lord, I pray that all John Fetterman’s chains have been/will be broken and that he will become a shining light in Your kingdom!
AMEN!!! Awesome prayer Thank you Marella
People do NOT realize the power of PRAYER!!! Our pastor has always said, “Things happen when we pray that do not happen when we do not pray.”
Heavenly Father, Thank You for every blessing you give me daily! Thank You for leading my path daily as long as I consult you on every major matter in my life, you never fail me! I love you Lord, more than my life! I pray today Lord, you turn every evil heart to your goodness! Lord, I thank intercessors for their family of Faith and goodness to be able to share with everyone! I know your Love and Mercy are part of everything Good! We will continue to pray for all who turn to evil ways and directions by Satan himself. For YOU ARE OUR SUPERHERO! You are our God and Truth and Light!

I am a republican. And I love John Fetterman. I love his boldness. He has the heart of a lion! He is brave in heart! He is honest! Sincere! I will pray for him! I agree that God has a great purpose for him!
May the Holy Spirit come upon John and that John lead other democrats to legislate in God’s ways. In my human frailty I have doubted this, but with God everything is possible. Trust in God His will be done.
🙏😇🙏
Wow! Just wow! We serve an amazing God and He is the one that does the work, we are called to just share, share, share and pray.
I love this so much! Everyone knows John Fetterman no matter what state you are from. He will become a display of the Lord’s glory for all to see.
Love, love, love! So much so that I read twice- just to make sure I “heard” the message.
I need more of this type of information relating to government issues- relating “road to Damascus” and on the “way home to Emmaus”. ( Two of Jesus followers were discussing the events of the past week. They were so wrapped up in their thoughts (hello me) that they barely noticed the stranger who began to walk beside them (hello, LORD ?!!!!!))
No doubt I will return to the post to read again and again.
True Light of the World, Godhead, Father, Son, Spirit- I proclaim Your Majesty above all for there is none like You. Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. You are the Alpha and Omega!!!
Thank you for all You have done, all You are doing, and all You will do because of Your promises to us; one of which is. “ I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
You are precious to me. To You be all honor, glory and praise.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
He is a very real person and not a natural politician. Agree or disagree with his opinions, he is coming from a very authentic and developing perspective. He isn’t afraid to learn. Let’s lean in and pray.
LordThank you For helping us see others through Your eyes
I am from a small community in north central PA. Our pastor had been invited to go to the capitol to meet and pray for/with senator’s. It was back when the FRC went to Washington back in January/February. Our pastor was able to talk to Senator Fetterman and pray with him. He has been on our prayer board and hearts. Praise the Lord we know he will come through the fire and have a roaring lion’s voice for our King!!!!
I prayed for him last year. When I heard him speak and I knew something wasn’t right. He had the stroke and he seemed to struggled with mental illness, too, so I prayed for that, too. Time passed and I began to hear things he said and praised God for the changes in him. God continues to hear our prayers for Sen. Fetterman.
Lord I pray that You who have begun a good work in John Fetterman will see it through to completion. May he become a vessel of righteousness in Your hand. In Jesus’ Name in pray. Amen.
God is amazing! Thank you you guys for this shinning example to never ever discount the power of prayer. Praise God, thank you for this story!
Praying for Fetterman — didn’t realize I ever would, considering his pre-stroke statements. But it is evident that God has changed his outlook. Praying for him to put his trust in Jesus and experience the freedom that comes when our sins are washed away by Jesus’ blood and redemption.
I too have been given a prayer assignment for three famous people with big voices and large audiences. Waiting and praying to see how God uses them.
‘The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty! He will save He will rejoice over thee with joy!” Zephaniah 3:17
God chills!!
Amens times 10.
Wow!!!!! Thank you Jesus. Thank you for the views into a person’s life to show us not to give up praying for them. To show us that yes our prayers and the prayers of saints that have gone home continue to work on a person’s life. You are good and gracious God, to you forever be praise. Thank you Father!
The Lord laid these two scriptures on my heart to share. May we pray them for Mr. Fetterman and all our leaders! What an amazingly BIG God we serve!!
Able to take any heart and make it new!
No longer the same! Made a new creation in Him to glorify Him! Satan can’t do that! He only has a counterfeit and lies! Praise God for what He is doing and will do in this nation! And this world! Intercessors, get ready for REVIVAL in our land and let’s seek the Lord for EXPECTANT hearts for ALL that we are trusting Him for! I’m the name of Jesus!
Ezekiel 36:26-28 KJV
[26] A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [27] And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. [28] And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Jude (Judah) 1:22-23 TPT
[22] Keep being compassionate to those who still have doubts, [23] and snatch others out of the fire to save them. Be merciful over and over to them, but always couple your mercy with the fear of God. Be extremely careful to keep yourselves free from the pollutions of the flesh.
Amen, Amanda!
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for what seems to be the Holy Spirit working in this Senator’s life to bring about transformation as a result of strategic targeted prayer by faith filled intercessors, Phil 1:6🙏🏽
Just don’t vote for him…sides with Liberal degenerates far too often.
Thank you Jesus for your continued grace and mercy that are renewed each day. We pray not only for Mr. Fetterman but also for ALL elected officials to have damascas road experiences that bring them straight to you. Convict the hearts of those that will hear your voice and those that will not, help us NOT have them in rule over us. We know that you have the power to put rulers in place and also to remove them. We pray your Will over our nation and our elections. Shine your exposing light into the darkness that is trying to envelope our nation. Bring to the forefront the plans of the wicked and give those who claim to be Christians the courage of their convictions to stand for and vote only for those that have agendas which are in alignment with YOUR WILL. We know it is not your will that even one of us should perish so we ask Jesus that you continue working on and in all of us your will and plans to perfect. To you be all Power, Glory, Honor and Praise as you alone are worthy to be PRAISED!! We exalt you, our Lord and Savior.
Amen, AMEN!!
