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..."
Reading Time: 3 minutes

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!

I watched this through Jeff Childers’ site in its entirety and loved every minute of it. This is President Trump at his finest speaking with and to people of courage and conviction and promising them and us that our rights to freedom of expression in school, at work, on the street are valued and protected. I pray for our “Praying President” that God will protect him, his entire family, those working with and for him and everyone else who loves him. May God grant him the wisdom of Solomon during these dark days and may He bless and protect our great nation. Amen and amen!!!!

Dear IFA
I am sad that we have people who are condemning President Trump and even calling him a pedophile.
It’s amazing how the majority Christians are awake and understand that God has chosen Trump as President. The parroting from MSM needs to be addressed. Because of the hate from the MSM, Charlie Kirk is dead.
I am tired of these attacks against us and I am willing to address this issue.
Nonetheless, my prayer is God will continue to clean out the evil and bring peace, joy and Religious freedom for Americans! I pray billions and billions of souls being saved and Holy Spirit filled! May our 250th Year be the best one yet for all Americans, in Jesus’s name! Amen! 🙏🏻
MAGA:
Make America
GODLY
Again!!!

I thank the Lord for President Trump bringing revival and restoration of Righteousness in our Nation in the spirit of Jehosphaphat
Jehoshaphat Appoints Judges
4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned them back to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 5 He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah. 6 He told them, “Consider carefully what you do, because you are not judging for mere mortals but for the Lord, who is with you whenever you give a verdict. 7 Now let the fear of the Lord be on you. Judge carefully, for with the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”
May the Lord use President Trump to establish the Rule of Law, and Appoint Judges who Fear the Lord and do Rightly without partiality in establish justice.

As Joe Perticone outlines in The Bulwark today, Republican lawmakers are greeting the release of the lewd letter in Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday book depicting the outline of a child and apparently signed by Donald Trump either by saying they don’t care or by denying the signature is Trump’s. For this to be true, someone would have had to have slipped the letter into the book when it was bound in leather in 2003, a story that makes no sense at all. But, as J.V. Last of The Bulwark notes, Trump and his loyalists, including White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, are insisting the letter is a hoax.
As Last writes, the material in the 238-page book reveals that the friends of the convicted sex offender described him as a “super-rich” man who liked “having sex with very young girls.” But rather than recoiling from his predatory habits, they celebrated those crimes. As Last writes: “Everyone in Jeffrey Epstein’s circle knew. They knew that Epstein was a predator. They believed that his pathology defined him. And they joked about it, encouraged it, and egged him on.”
Epstein’s story personifies a cultural system in which wealthy white men can laugh about the horrific and illegal abuse of children—female children—comfortable in the knowledge the system will never hold them to account.
IFA is rewarded for supporting by our government for supporting a president who supported this, congratulations for allowing your soul to be bought.

    Lynn,
    President Trump was an FBI informant to help bring down Epstein.
    The files have nothing about President Trump but they do have files on Bill Clinton

      Yes, that could be true but there is just as much evidence to support the theory that Trump is an alien from another planet who was only hanging around Epstein in order to observe the mating habits of our species to report back to his superiors on his home planet. Even Mike Johnson modified his statement about Trump being an FBI informant to acknowledge that it was untrue. Trump was fully associated with Epstein for years, there is ample evidence to show that and you have to try to be willingly blind to not see how close Trump and Epstein were.

        Trump was but kicked him out after Epstein made inappropriate comments to underaged girls.
        I am disgusted with MSM and their lies and you are parroting them.
        Bc of MSM and their propaganda, Charlie Kirk is dead! 😡

“When you fuse Christianity with power, it isn’t long before Christians start imposing the cross on others rather than taking it up themselves.” Andrew Sullivan
It isn’t often in true faith where you see Christians standing with the powerful versus the oppressed.

Protect Kids Colorado has 5 months to try and collect 200,000 signatures to get these ballots to the polls for Colorado citizen to stop the outrageous bills passed last spring. The ballots are to stop transgender medications or surgeries on children under 17. To have mandatory life sentences for anyone convicted of child sex trafficking. And to stop men in women’s sports, locker rooms or restrooms.

Praise God for IFA and for President trumps acknowledging Jesus!!!!
In the least sense the evidence that human behavior is easily persuaded by the actions of their fellows is so obvious.
Praise The Lord for these days and outcomes.
Prayer warriors are God sent
Thank you fellow intercessors for not relenting to the enemy of our souls.

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

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!!!!!

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.

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.

    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!!!
