Our newest contributing writer, Mavourene Robinson, reflects on the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for Supreme Court justice. Share your thoughts in the comments.
In 1 Samuel 16:7, as Samuel was seeking whom God had prepared to succeed Saul as King, God reminded the Prophet, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
During the weeks following Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s announced retirement, there were immediate calls for his replacement to be an African-American female or someone who openly identifies as other than their God-given gender. Unfortunately, very little was mentioned about the nominees’ being ones committed to upholding the Constitution, rather than acting as judicial activists to reinterpret our Bill of Rights.
From the onset, NARAL’s and Planned Parenthood’s enthusiastic support of Judge Jackson was enough to disclose everything I needed to know to influence my position. I did not and would not support her nomination. As a lover of Jesus and of God’s inerrant Word, I chose not to emotionally co-opt Judge Jackson’s nomination as a proxy for my self-worth. This despite being a woman who is also beautifully created with African and American ancestry. For me, there is so much more to be considered when choosing our leaders.
As the Confirmation Hearings progressed, rather than expecting the media and their aligned social activist organizations to report what is factual, I read excerpts from Judge Jackson’s decisions. Unfortunately, this intensified my lack of support. Several of Judge Jackson’s dispositions confirmed warnings regarding her reported softness toward violent criminals, child rapists, and repeat child pornography criminals. She was clearly not the breakthrough from God for which qualified African American/Black females have prayed.
As I write to you today, evil thinks it has won. I guess on the surface, evil has won. America will have another Supreme Court Justice who seems to be in lockstep with organizations and leaders who reject biblical values. This is a timely warning for us to remain diligent to “be doers of the Word, rather than hearers only,” (James 1:22) because it appears that Judge Jackson was considered based more upon her appearance than what flows from her heart. The good news is that we can trust that our God always has a plan. Nothing is wasted with Him, and He has heard our prayers and petitions regarding all of this.
Please pray with me that God has a Nebuchadnezzar-like encounter with Judge Jackson and that she becomes a most unlikely warrior for true righteousness and justice in America. Please stand with me as we declare our promise for the outcome from Isaiah 46:10, “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.” We can have faith that God will have His way if we continue to pray.

I have to be honest. In my humaneness it is so very hard to pray for this person. However; the verses you referenced in this portion in the prayer for her humbled me so that I will print this and pray daily. I know that God has the perfect plan and I trust that. I pray to our precious Savior that he will forgive me for weakness.
Proverbs 16:9 We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.
Proverbs 21:1 The king’s heart is like a stream of water directed by the LORD; He guides it wherever He pleases.
Jeremiah 10:23-24 I know, LORD, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course. Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice—not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.
Dear Heavenly Father, in Your time Your Plans will be made known to each of us. I thank You for eternal mercy available to ALL who confess and believe in Jesus Christ. I thank You for Your attention everywhere, ALL the time. I thank You that Ketanji Brown Jackson’s steps are determined by You and You can direct her heart and decisions whenever You please. Thank You LORD, that her life is not her own. I pray Ketanji will know this as You correct her with justice. May Your plans in regard to Ketanji Brown Jackson, be for Your Glory and our good. Thank You Father. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Holy Spirit. Amen
What a beautiful prayer, this literally moved me to tears. God bless you for posting such a powerful message. AMEN & AMEN
I believe that this whole stolen presidency and everything that it’s doing against God Almighty, including this fake Supreme Court nomination, will be overturned and returned to the rightful President! That is what is being prophesied right now and that’s what I’m praying for in Jesus’ Name!
I whole heartedly agree with you, Diane. I kept having the same thought about total “turn around” from where her apparent stance is now in my mind and spirit. I believe she will have that conversion or Nebuchadnezzar moment ! And, also, lead others to do the same.
On ward Christian soldiers! never ceasing to pray and submit all to Adonai where nothing is too hard and miracle happen daily!!!
Mavourene, I absolutely agree with you. When Judge Jackson immediately spoke of God and being blessed, many were quickly swayed by the lies, even Believers. I went to the source to see what she truly believed and began to pray and ask people to pray she would not be confirmed. It is sickening that she is okay with child rape and pornography, full-term abortion, and against freedom of religion. She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Her beauty and sweet smile won over the Dems so quickly they had no common sense, and even 3 Republicans. Once she was confirmed, all I could do was ask the Lord to give her a Saul to Paul experience and a prophet has said there will be one such person in the Supreme Court. I will pray with you that a Nebuccadnezar experience takes place, or Saul to Paul this summer before she even takes her seat in the Court. Nothing is too hard for God!!
I also pray for Clarence Thomas who is being attacked by wicked people trying to take him out. I am positive the sickness he experienced was given him on purpose. Now they are asking him to step down, some want to impeach him, all because he is a righteous man. Lord, we ask you to raise up Justice Thomas in divine anointing, health, and victory, and bring a radical conversion to Judge Jackson. Open her eyes!!! May others be shaken in the Court and turn to Jesus Christ in His holy name. You are Lord and nothing is too hard for You.

It has become apparent to me, that we need to start praying now for the next Supreme Court judge, in light of Judge Jackson’s appointment, as well as for her and all our other judges in the country. May God work in their lives, hearts, and minds, and accomplish His work and purposes.
A Nebuchadnezzar encounter requires a few uncompromising influential “True Worshippers” such as Shadrach, Meschak, and Abendego… They had purposed not to eat the “kings food” and when forced with a deadly ultimatum to worship Nebuchadnezzars idol or be thrown into the firey furnace, they made their choice clear twice, and were thrown in the fire. We know the rest of that great story.
Christians and Jews are often great and wonderful people, mostly moral and ethical, but many compromise with feeding their minds with the “King’s food” of ungodly secret thoughts, attitudes, and entertainment..the king of this world and the entertainment industry is none other than satan…Sometimes it isnt even the content but the time spent, thoughts do not become sins until we agree with them, …do we resist clicking on those enticing questionable looking ads and articles? Different people have different compromises the point is, to be a Nebuchadnezzar influencer we need clean hands and a pure heart and a ton of courage and conviction to choose God in the face of persecution and even death threats. The youth did not spew out words of disrespect or call down retailatory fire from God on Nebuchadnezzar, they simply briefly, decisively, and respectfully stated their refusal to worship the idol and their faith in their God to save them from the flame but affirmed that even if he did not, they would not worship the idol. How often do we spew hatred toward politicians publicly on social media and at work and in social interactions.
Father I am in agreement with Mavourene Robinson and the intecessors here to raise up some of your most uncompromising true worshippers and surround Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson with them. Father may they be profoundly inspirational to her in every way, emotiinally, mentally, spiritually, may they be like Shadrach, Meschak, and Abendego with clean hands and pure hearts giving Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson the same type of unconditiinal Godfearing respect that the Hebrew boys gave to the wicked hissyfit idol worshipping controlling and manipulative King Nebuchadnezzar, and may you use their obedience and surrender to your will and ways to bring true and lasting change of mind, heart, spirit, and behavior in Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, true salvation, with her accepting and obeying the true and full gospel of Jesus Christ and then use her as a catalyst to win others of influence in the supreme court, politics, elite, and government. We thank you for leading our prayer, hearing our prayer and doing what we all ask and agree, in Jesus name
Righteous anger towards a stolen election that was against God’s children, God’s Country and God’s anointed President Trump, is justified. This presidency along with this fake nominated Supreme Court judge will, prayfully and hopefully, be overturned 😉 In Jesus’ Name!
AMEN sister! In Jesus Name, help us, Your children see our own sins, catch those nasty little foxes Lord and help us cast them out of our lives so Wehear You, trust and obey! For Your glory and kingdom come!
Knowing God is in control gives me hope. On the surface of such an appointment it seems as if God has forgotten us. To have one on our bench that probably will not uphold the constitution simply scares me. BUT our God is on the throne, and as we pray He will be honored and trusted. SO, please don’t stop praying for this judge, all the court, our president and leaders of our nation to experience Jesus’ Loving Hand to guide us with Godly Wisdom.
Our God is Almighty, He will not be moves and swayed by the actions of man. We lay our petitions before the our God, and ask that you will cause the justices that already stand for life and the Constitution will be stronger than ever, and that evil will be thwarted in the hearts and minds of the justices that do not honor the Constitution or life itself. We TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS, Prov. 3:5-7 and know that You Lord have a plan, and will work Your plan and it is righteous and holy. Isa. 41:10 Fear thou not……”
We will definitely keep our new Justice in prayer. Although I am a woman, I don’t share or condone her views. I will definitely keep her in my prayers. The heart of the King is in the hand of the Lord and we are commanded to pray for those in the position of authority.
I pray for a Damascus road experience for this judge. I ask that her identity will not be rooted in her race or party line but she will come to know You; her Creator as Lord and Savior and follow to stand up for You commandments and Will in Jesus name. I pray for a Damascus road experience like Saul who became Paul in Jesus name.
Yes, praying for Justice Jackson to have an encounter with the Living God and become the person He created her to be. Nothing is impossible with God – nothing is too hard for Him! What men meant for evil may God use for good! http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
I prayed for Judge Jackson that she would hear the Holy Spirit calling her name to repent of her sins and believe in the Lord Jesus and invite Christ into her heart. NO amount of education will get you to heaven, but only the saving grace of Jesus.
Lord I repent in all areas of my life where deception has come in and for our leaders to remover deception from their heats.. Have mercy on us.
Indeed!
May we really believe that God is in control no matter, and keep praying earnestly not just for her, but for all the justices on SCOTUS; as well as for those in authority in our government.
May we reflect the light of Christ in our lives.
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from Thy precepts and from Thy judgments:
Neither have we hearkened unto Thy servants the prophets, which spake in Thy Name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto Thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither Thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against Thee.
O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against Thee.
To The Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against Him;
Neither have we obeyed the voice of The Lord our God, to walk in His Laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.
Yea, all Israel have transgressed Thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey Thy Voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him. Daniel Chapter 9
Dear Christine, I have prayed this prayer for our nation for many years, my Bible automatically opens to Daniels Prayer, may God grant repentance to all believers who have been believing the lie , and may we all remember our loving God will work His will one way or another. May we all desire to fit into His plan, and not lean unto our own understanding Prov. 3:5-7 Amen
God bless you for your work. Concur with your thoughts and prayers. Christians must remain steadfast Arnold on our knees as prayer warriors in these unsettling and possibly end times.
I do stand with you on Is.46:10 and believe that this is exactly what the Lord has planned for Judge Jackson. And thank you for running for office. May God Bless you.
Thank you Mrs. Robinson. ! This is a great article and we agree with you for a life changing conversion of her soul. Father may you be glorified as Ketanji Jackson becomes an upholder of Constitutional and Godly values!! In Jesus mighty name!!
If “Judge” Jackson coddles criminals from the bench , attacks the 1st or 2nd Amendments of the Constitution as written, or engages in militant activist activities or other unprofessional conduct unbecoming of a judge, there HAS to be a way to send this token nominee off the Supreme Court like Abe Fortas was a while back. Everything Jackson says or writes must be recorded.
Appreciate Mavourene’s comments and agree with her. Of course I am very disappointed in Ketanji’s appointment yet not surprised in view of who is falsely “running” this country right now.
Thank you for your words and this article as it is forcing me to live my beliefs and “do” them.
FYI I have prayed for this woman in Jesus name as our Lord insists.
Abba Father, I decree Isaiah 59:1, “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened at all, that it cannot save, nor His ear dull with deafness, that it cannot hear.” Abba Father, You love America and will save it inspite of what it appears to be. Thank You Abba Father, for the great turnaround and what You are doing NOW. I decree and declare that more true and dedicated intercessors will arise and be diligent watchman over America and the nations as Holy Spirit leads. In Jesus’ name. So be it!
Congratulations on your new position to IFA! I’m a Christian African American homeschooling mom as well. I appreciate that your article was written with truth, grace, and hope. Furthermore, I thank God for equipping you and placing you in such positions to be a vessel of Christ’s righteousness. Continue the good fight of faith and robe yourself with the armor of God (Ephesians 6). You will receive victory in every area of your life, including the upcoming elections.
Father, thank you that you place people where they have the opportunity to come to know you and feel safe to change their minds. Let this assignment for Judge Jackson be such an appointment in her life. Surprise her with your love coming from other justices on the court who follow you and your ways. Let that love change her from the inside out. Let this appointment strengthen our Supreme Court beyond our expectations.
Thank you for your stand. I pray you will successfull in replacing the Democrat in your area.
I wholeheartedly agree with your prayer. I knew Jackson’s appointment was likely. While disappointed I am not surprised. I lean on the Supreme Judge whose “counsel will stand” in the end.
Yes, we agree for a divine reversal!
Lord you know all things, may your purpose come about in Judge Ketanji & May she have a Nebuchadnezzar experience & draw her to you. Thank you Jesus.
Thank you for your article. I agree. I wrote something similar on my FB page. Was so heavy hearted that our Senators approved her with all of her obvious un-American, uni-Constitutional track records – plus the fact that she kept hedging, dodging real time questions that she should have answered – AND that she could not define what a woman was (or ‘would not’ define a woman). BUT, we must believe in and apply the Prodigal son and the Father’s account to this woman and ask God to ‘bring her back home to Him.’
My prayer over this situation was similar – I was asking the Lord to give Judge Jackson a “Damascus” moment. The Lord can turn this around!
For His Glory!
An excellent perception and one that reminds us to pray unceasingly and in an intercession way regardless of our emotions and imagination about any person or situation.
Jackson will not sit the bench! The word I received is that Buyden will be declared illegitimate within a few months. At that all of the evil and wicked demonic actions made by Satan’s minions will be declared illegitimate as well, this will give President Trump one more SCOTUS
pick upon his return!
I normally don’t read all the comments but in this case I did
Because I was so disappointed that she was confirmed by the senate when it was obvious she has no business sitting on the highest court in the land. Yet I sensed .though she was confirmed she will never actually sit on the bench. However we must still pray for her to have an appointment with God for her Nebuchadnezzar experience.
Thank You Mavourene for this truth spoken from an unbiased heart.
Evil may think it has won but it will never win, for ultimately TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL PREVAIL
YAHWEH rules in the affairs of men & nations!
