Pray that Congress acts to advance religious freedoms—that strategies would emerge and religious liberty bills would pass. Thank God for the advances we have seen in the administration.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;  persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.  For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.  So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. (1 Cor. 4:8-12)

“Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), James Lankford (R-OK), and Chris Coons (D-DE) . . .  introduced a bipartisan resolution affirming the commitment of the United States to promoting religious freedom and condemning persecution based on faith. This resolution also encourages the president to nominate an ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom within the State Department.

‘Religious freedom is a fundamental human right that is under assault across the globe,’ said Rubio.Churches and other houses of worship are being bombed and shuttered, pastors are being imprisoned, and people of faith are being intimidated, harassed and worse. Supporting religious freedom must be a core component of America’s foreign policy, and I’m proud to stand with my colleagues in introducing this resolution.’

‘The right to practice any faith, or have no faith, is a fundamental human right of all people, no matter where they live on earth. Nations that oppress this basic human right are bound to violate other human rights,’ said Lankford. ‘It is important that America stands up for religious freedom, and unequivocally denounces anti-religious violence, oppression, and genocide around the world. That’s what this resolution calls for.’

‘The right to practice your specific faith or not practice at all is a fundamental American value, but it’s also a right that people all around the world deserve, too,’ said Coons. ‘In too many other countries, religious minorities are unfairly targeted and even persecuted for their beliefs, and I am pleased to introduce this resolution with my colleagues to promote religious freedom around the world.’” (Excerpted from Marco Rubio Press Release, May 12, 2017)

I thank the BLESSED VIRGIN for her intercession to her BELOVED SON, JESUS CHRIST, to keep our military safe and our freedom secure.

Thank you Senator Rubio for taking this stand. God has given us a great chance to turn to Him and we seem to be using the opportunity to fight among ourselves. I pray this bill will go through and bring some healing.

Thank you, Senators Rubio, Lankford, and Coons! Also, I hope you’ll push hard to restore religious freedom in the US because Christian businesses are being sued for not helping celebrate same-sex marriage, etc. Christians who simply say that they don’t believe in homosexuality have been fired from their jobs, even though there was no evidence that they had in any way discriminated against homosexuals. Christians in the military have also been persecuted for their faith. Check out the details on the website of Alliance Defending Freedom.

May the Lord bless you and give you courage and strength no matter how the radicals lie to try to smear you.

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. That the man of God may be competent equipped for every god work. Gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. In Jesus name.

TRUMP’s POST ELECTION PRESIDENCY Prayer, Supplication, & Intercession for Truth & Justice to Internally Permeate the USA: It has only begun:
PROTECTION, WISDOM, & THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT AND THE BOND OF PEACE, W/REGENERATION, RESTORATION, & RENEWAL, INFILLED WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS, FOR D.T; 2 M.P; J.S; R.T; G.S; J.M.(M.D.); S.M; R.Z; J.G; W.R; A.P; T.P; B.C; E.C; R.P; B.D; D.S; J.F.K; R.P; S.P; R.L; M.M; L.M. & FAMILIES. IF YOU WILL PRAY LIKE OR AMEN.

I HOPE THE LORD OPENS THESE SEEDS RIGHT AWAY AND DISTRIBUTES THEM IN POWER AND MIGHT UNTO YOU AND THE ENTIRE PRAYER TEAM.

HERE IS THAT EXHORTATION:
EARLY ON IN THE ELECTION THE LORD TOLD ME THAT WHEN TRUMP WON THE ELECTION TO BE SURE AND WARN THE BODY THAT NATIONALISM IS ALSO REBELLION UNLESS IT IS ONE NATION UNDER GOD. HE REMINDED ME OF THE TIMES ANCIENT ISRAEL SHOOK OFF THEIR OPPRESSORS AND REACTED IN NATIONALISTIC BRAVADO RATHER THAN REPENTANCE AND RETURNING TO YAHWEH.
WHEN I WAS TOLD THE ABOVE; I ASKED IF TRUMP WAS GOING TO WIN? NO ANSWER. NOT UNTIL ELECTION NIGHT DID I GET MY ANSWER. “IF I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THEN; WOULD YOU HAVE PRAYED, TRAVAILED AND GROANED TO SEE THIS THING COME FORTH?”
CRITICAL INSIGHTS:
A NATION AND GROUPING OF PEOPLES IS AN ORGANISM, MUCH LIKE A MAN OR THE BODY OF CHRIST. THIS NEXT STAGE OF THE BATTLE MUST CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE DEMONIC HORDES OUT OF THIS NATION OR LIKE ISRAEL THEY WILL BECOME “A THORN IN OUR SIDE.” (NUMBERS 33:55) JUST LIKE WHEN A DEMON COMES OUT OF A MAN THAT MAN MUST BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD. REVIVAL MUST BE PART OF THIS BATTLE PLAN TO SWEEP CLEAN THESE EMPTY SPACES AND FILL THIS NATION WITH THE SPIRIT ONCE AGAIN.
THE SPIRITUAL PRECEPT OF A “HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND” NEEDS BE ADDRESSED. WE ARE IN MORE UNITY AS A NATION THAN WE HAVE BEEN FOR HALF A CENTURY.
THERE ARE 7 “WORLD RULER” SPIRITS THAT ARE THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF THE 7 SPIRITS BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD, THE 7 SPIRITS ON THE ROOT OF JESSE, THE 7 PILLARS OF WISDOM AND THE CANDLESTICK ETC. (ISA 11:1-3, REV 4:5)
THE “WORLD RULER” … THE “SPIRIT OF REBELLION” IS DEAD OPPOSITE “THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING.” REBELLION PRODUCES THE TWINS OF DIVISION AND CORRUPTION, WHEREAS THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING PRODUCES UNION AND HOLINESS. IT IS THE VERY JURISDICTION OF WHY WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES A WORD BUT “UNDERSTANDS IT NOT” … THAT THE DEVIL IMMEDIATELY TAKES THE WORD FROM THEM. (MATT 13:19, MK 4:15)
THE TOWER OF BABEL IS PERHAPS THE PRIME EXAMPLE OF DIVISION AND CORRUPTION RESULTING FROM REBELLION.
THE REBELLION OF THE BODY HAS OPENED THE DOOR TO THE “ALINSKY: “RULES FOR RADICALS” DIVISIVE AND CORRUPT ILLUMINIST AGENDA. DIVISION AND CORRUPTION WORK IN PAIRS. FROM LUCIFERS’ REBELLION IN HEAVEN … UNTIL NOW … AND THE END.
WE AS THE CHURCH DO CONFESS OUR SINS OF DIVISION, GOSSIPING, BACKBITING AND BEARING FALSE WITNESS. THESE SINS OF SCHISMS, EVIL SPEAKING AND FAKE NEWS ARE HEAVY IN THE CHURCH … WE ASK FORGIVENESS FOR THEM AND ASK YOU TO JUDGE THOSE ERRORS IN US. WE ALSO ASK YOU TO JUDGE THE WORLD FOR THE SELFSAME ISSUES TRUMP PRESIDENCY PRAYER,: WHO WILL PRAY EVERYDAY FOR TRUMP?

YOUR BROTHER IN JESUS;

Father You see the end from the beginning. You are future present. At conception you see a finished product and You know exactly the strategies needed to promote your kingdom on Earth. So we thank you for this bill and ask that it is like a fore runner that increases in momentum as it moves forward in a world that is perishing from a lack of knowledge. We ask that you are glorified in this and that you have your way, Let there be freedom and liberty abounding, for wherever the Spirit Of the Lord is there is liberty. I thank you that this is Spirit-filled, empowered by the wisdom that comes unadulterated from the Throne of God. Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people. I pray for an avalanche of acceptance of this bill with legislators, and that it would stand as a Hallmark to the nation’s who look upon us, and say “Look What the Lord Has Done.” In the name of Jesus.
