Father, we pray for President Trump as he works to keep Americans in big cities safe. As the nationwide crime crackdown continues, we pray that our leaders would work with the Trump administration, not against it!

As his crime crackdown continues, President Trump recently sought to deploy the National Guard to Portland, Oregon. However, a federal judge blocked his efforts in a Sunday ruling.

Who is praying on the wall?

 

From Fox News:

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut ruled the action was unlawful and unconstitutional, issuing an emergency temporary restraining order to halt the deployment of California’s National Guard. The order also bars the use of troops from any other state or Washington, D.C. in Oregon.

Immergut’s ruling says that the Trump administration’s action violates federal statute 10 U.S.C. §12406 and the Tenth Amendment.

California Governor Gavin Newsom was quick to celebrate the ruling in a post on X:

“BREAKING: We just won in court — again. A federal judge BLOCKED Donald Trump’s unlawful attempt to DEPLOY 300 OF OUR NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO PORTLAND. The court granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order — HALTING ANY FEDERALIZATION, RELOCATION, OR DEPLOYMENT of ANY GUARD MEMBERS TO OREGON FROM ANY STATE. Trump’s abuse of power won’t stand,” the post stated.

Earlier this year, President Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C. After bringing results that even his critics couldn’t ignore, the President sought to take similar actions in other states. Democrat Governors, however, have taken issue with his approach and sought to block the National Guard deployment.

Portland isn’t the only city proving to be difficult for the President. Yesterday, Illinois sued the Trump administration to stop the President from deploying the National Guard to Chicago, a city that President Trump has been focused on ever since he began his crime crackdown in D.C.

According to Fox News, the Department of Justice will appeal the ruling. As the appeal plays out, let’s pray for the Trump administration as it cracks down on crime across the nation!

It is pure evil in what is happening in these Dem states. It is so clearly a war between good and evil. God’s angels are in the heavenlies fighting. We need to be praying with conviction for God’s will to win out. Corruption abounds in this country. It’s deep and the devil has had quite a spree. As we come against this evil we need to remember we know how this ends. Keep on prayer warriors! We win!

It depends on whether this is a matter of individual crimes or if it is a fifth column as described by ex KGB officer, Yuri Besmenov: https://rumble.com/v6zns3g-yuri-besmenov-demoralization-is-complete.html
We have sent troops overseas in 1950, 1958, 1963, and so on without congress declaring war. Do we not have the right to combat a fifth column? https://rumble.com/v6zsfl0-communist-revolution-planned-for-1-may-2028-ft.-karlyn-boryshenko-daily-pul.html
We should pray for this just as we would if there were tanks crossing the border.

Leviticus 19:15  ” ‘Do not be unjust in judging—show neither partiality to the poor nor deference to the mighty, but with justice judge your neighbor.

Psalm 2:10-12  Therefore, kings, be wise; be warned, you judges of the earth.  Serve Adonai with fear; rejoice, but with trembling. Kiss the Son [or: Kiss purely], lest He be angry, and you perish along the way, when suddenly His anger blazes. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him. 

Isaiah 40:22-25 It is He that sits upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in: that brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth as vanity. Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal? says the Holy One. 

Revelation 19:2  For true and righteous are His judgments. . .
Rev 19:11-16  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.  And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Truly YHVH, may the judges of the earth be warned, for You are the Supreme Judge of the nations, and You have given all authority to the King of kings and the Lord of lords – Your Son Yeshua – as described in Revelation on His return.

I was glad to hear that something was finally going to happen in Portland. Our governor and other politicians in oregon ignore what the people want. We have lost businesses and the poor people who live close have sustained damages and the mayor or governor do nothing to these people. I hope that Trump will get to send in troops and end this mess. We need some leadership to happen. pray for our state.

I agree with President Trumps plans to deploy the National Guard to Portland, Chicago and any other city where crime is out of control and the public and ICE agents are in danger. I am praying for the safety of ICE agents and all other law officers who are trying to protect our citizens. Amen

I believe that the Democratic governors should be relieved of their positions due to being unable to follow and enforce the law. If they care about their constituents then they should allow the use of the National Guard to help the police to do what they have been hired to achieve. We don’t want martial law but the democrats are asking for it with their lackadaisical attitudes. The only thing they care about is fighting President Trump on anything they can get away with. So far all I’ve seen from the democratic party is adults acting like little children and also many of them committing criminal acts to get their way.

Immergut is wrong in three ways that I can think of. One is that she thinks she can rule for the entire country. We are not a dictatorship as the left wishes. Two it is unconstitutional to protect illegals, criminals, and the actual insurrectionist ie antifa, blm, and the many other groups that threaten people and destroy property. Three, federal employees have a constitutional right for protection from those evil groups I mentioned. Yet the left and the judges they have in place to help further their evil UNGODLY agenda continue to spend tax payers money on all things evil and attack all who disagree with them. I trust in God and may God’s will be done.
🙏😇🙏❤️

The President has full authority under the constitution to deploy the national guard in certain situations, and because many of our state and city elected officials refuse to take action against crime, including attacks on ICE, I believe calling in the national guard has become necessary.
If governors and mayors would uphold the law in these crime infested cities, it would not be necessary, but again and again, public safety is being put at risk because of policies which are soft on crime.
The city of Portland has been destroyed because of such policies, and no tax payer should be expected to put up with unchecked crime and paid for fake protests which destroy public property and put law enforcement agents at risk.
I am not in support of a police state; however, I would choose visible law enforcement over anarchy and chaos, as long as it used correctly, not as it is used in dictatorial countries where military might is used to suppress the entire population.
A balanced and judicious use of our national guard to protect is why the force exists, and governors like Gavin Newsom need to be held accountable for opposing our President every time it suits their political purposes.
A nation divided against itself cannot stand, and using judges to overrule our President on matters of national security, is an over reach of their authority.

Father, crime is rampant, especially in large cities. What the people need is reformation of soul and mind and heart. Father, let the revival fires explode in Portland, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, Miami, Houston, etc. Bring about a mighty reformation in our country. Judges and law makers, civic leaders and criminals – they all need to fall on their knees and declare that Jesus is Lord, to repent of their past, and begin on a new path of justice and righteousness. Lord, please help us clean up the mess by blowing Your breath upon all of us. Amen.

One must rejoice at godly judges who apply the law without fear or favor – and irrespective of who it may upset.
Let us pray for such judges.

    Interesting “sleight of speech”, T McH. But your previous comments reveal what you really mean, regardless of whether others “get it” – therefore you do not have my agreement.

      Thanks Mary (may I call you Mary?). What paragraph of the Constitution regarding the use of the miliary on home soil did the Judge violate? I presume you have read the judgement. Can they be used for basic civilian police duties?
