A key Trump administration official on Monday agreed to cooperate with presumed President-elect Joseph R. Biden on the transition, acknowledging for the first time — with President Trump’s approval — that the Democrat is likely to assume the White House in January.

More than two weeks after Mr. Biden was projected as the winner by media organizations, Mr. Trump said he advised General Services Administration head Emily W. Murphy and her team “to do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols.” . . .

The action came as Michigan certified Mr. Biden’s win in that state, delivering a huge blow to Mr. Trump’s dwindling prospects for overturning the election through his claims of widespread fraud. . . .

With those developments in two key swing states, more Republicans were calling on Mr. Trump to concede and cooperate with Mr. Biden on a transition.

“The presidential election is rapidly coming to a formal end,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander, Tennessee Republican. He urged Mr. Trump to “put the country first.”

Ms. Murphy offered the transition services to Mr. Biden in a letter citing the Trump campaign’s losses in legal challenges, and states’ certification of election results, as clearing the way for the transition. . . .

Ms. Murphy, who had resisted Mr. Biden’s increasingly urgent pleas to allow his team access to certain government funds and materials, stopped short of declaring Mr. Biden the winner of the bitterly contested election. She said the winner “will be determined by the electoral process detailed in the Constitution.”

She said she had not been pressured by the White House, either to withhold resources from Mr. Biden or to grant his team access. . . .

Biden campaign official called it “a needed step to begin tackling the challenges facing our nation, including getting the pandemic under control and our economy back on track.”

Without court rulings to overturn the results in Pennsylvania and at least two other states, Mr. Trump’s path to a second term will officially be ended.

The Trump campaign had launched legal battles in Michigan and Pennsylvania to delay certification of the election, and the president’s hopes in court are still alive.

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed Monday to hear an appeal of the campaign’s complaint of Pennsylvania’s unequal rules in Democratic and Republican counties for correcting errors on mail-in ballots. The Trump campaign also alleges that GOP poll watchers were prevented from monitoring ballot counting in Democratic cities.

Nearly all of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties were expected to finalize their election results before midnight on Monday, clearing the way for Democratic Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar to certify Mr. Biden’s win.  . . .

In Michigan, the state board of canvassers voted 3-0 to certify the election results on Monday over the objections from Republican allies of Mr. Trump in the state and in Washington, who argued that accusations of election fraud in heavily Democratic Detroit should be investigated first. Mr. Biden won Michigan by about 150,000 votes.

Republican board member Aaron Van Langevelde joined the panel’s two Democrats in voting to certify, saying that state law left them with no choice.

“We’ve got a duty to do this,” Mr. Van Langevelde said. Republican board member Norman Shinkle abstained.

The usually obscure board found itself under intense scrutiny for a vote that is essentially a rubber-stamp of election results from all counties. But with two Republicans and two Democrats comprising the board, a tie vote would have delayed certification and possibly have thrown the selection of presidential electors to the Republican-controlled legislature.

The Republican National Committee and the Michigan GOP asked the state to delay certification, pointing to reported voting irregularities in Detroit.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the board had to decide “whether to ignore that in a stunning 71% of Wayne County absentee voting precincts, the number of people who signed the poll books did not equal the number of votes counted.”

An elections official in the Democratic stronghold, which backed Mr. Biden over Mr. Trump by 68% to 31%, said the precincts were “out of balance” countywide by just a few hundred votes out of 878,000 ballots cast. . . .

The board also voted unanimously to request a review of Michigan’s election process by the legislature. Republican state Senate Majority leader Mike Shirkey, who had met with Mr. Trump at the White House late last week, said the state will do so.

Republican lawmakers in Washington increasingly were calling on Mr. Trump to cooperate with Mr. Biden on the transition, citing national security and the pandemic that is surging again in many communities.

Donald Trump is our president until Jan. 20, 2021, but in the likely event that Joe Biden becomes our next president, it is in the national interest that the transition is seamless and that America is ready on Day One of a new administration for the challenges we face,” Sen. Rob Portman, Ohio Republican, wrote in The Cincinnati Enquirer. . . .

Ms. Murphy said she wasn’t pressured to delay the transition but was the victim of “threats” to begin it.

“To be clear, I did not receive any direction to delay my determination. I did, however, receive threats online, by phone, and by mail directed at my safety, my family, my staff, and even my pets in an effort to coerce me into making this determination prematurely,” she said.

“Even in the face of thousands of threats, I always remained committed to upholding the law.”

The law dictates that GSA begin transition work with the incoming administration but does not say how to determine when the election results are incontrovertible.

Abba, it seems impossible in looking with our natural eyes for President Trump to be reelected. Abba, we ask for spiritual eyes of discernment to be opened. When pray for fresh wind in our sails. We have heard the prophets prophecy a second term for Donald Trump. And Lord we war with those words. We war with your words. What is impossible for man is not impossible for you! With you all things are possible! We humble ourselves before you and ask for you to turn the unleashing of evil back to the pit. Bring confusion into the enemy camp. May they fight themselves! We worship you! Bring the times of refreshing, the times of the latter day rain, the time of worldwide harvest. Continue to wake up your people who are called by your name to humble ourselves and pray and turn from our wicked ways. We need you, how we need you, every hour we need you. We come to you in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Keep praying daily as we have been since this crooked election took place! Remember David had been anointed King while he was in Ziglag running from Saul! If anyone thinks our President Trump is giving up, think again! Remember he has had businesses fail and he recovered them! He is NOT a quitter and we MUST NOT quit! We, like Daniel, know our prayers have been answered and we are waiting for the answer of President Donald J. Trump over our country again! Pray for the biden group knowing that GOD sees EVERYTHING going on AND HE WILL REPAY!

Proverbs 25:21-22

21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.

We are to pray for those in authority no matter what we think….GOD will take care of everything that concerns us. FATHER GOD help us to ALWAYS OBEY YOU AND YOUR WORD, NO MATTER HOW WE FEEL IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen! Amen!

Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Saints, when I pray for people for healing or for any other thing, I have always told them to STAND IN FAITH BELIEVING…No matter what it looks like!!!! I am saying to you Saints to STAND IN FAITH BELIEVING…NO MATTER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!

1 John 5:14-15

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

GOD has heard us! (Keep Praying!) (Keep speaking those things that be not as though they were!) Even if our President steps out of the White House, we are to hold our position and to keep praying in Faith Believing…NO MATTER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!

Dear Father God, if Joe Biden has been set up as king, as Adonijah set himself up as king in 1 Kings 1, then please bring it to pass that the king of Your choosing is appointed to rule in America. King Solomon was the king You appointed for Israel and he was officially appointed after Adonijah set himself up as king.
Father, You know of things we do not know about. If the people of America and the global community of peoples, have not pleased You, please be merciful and spare us from wicked kings. Please hear the prayers of those who pray as Daniel did in Daniel 9? May the pleas of those standing in the gap for America (and the rest of the world) reach Your ears. May You, in Your mercy, be compassionate to the nation of America and the nations of the world. Lord, we know that the agenda planned for America will also affect the rest of the world’s nations.
Please lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
Lord we cry out to You to call to account those guilty of fraudulent activities during these elections, as in Psalm 10.
Father, there seems to be so much evidence of fraud which is being brushed under the carpet. You are a God of justice and righteousness. May Your Light shine in this darkness and deliver us from the schemes of wicked men. Lord, Proverbs 19:21 reminds us that a man’s heart may be full of schemes but Your Purpose will prevail.
Lord, we plead with You, if what the globalists are planning for the world now is not Your purpose then please frustrate their plans?
Lord, there are so many confused and lost people in this world who have been misguided by evil people who have set themselves up against You. Please, Lord, You are as the vineyard owner who went to collect workers for Your vineyard, even at the late hour before sunset. Please may these precious souls have a chance to see Your goodness at this late hour and come to salvation in Christ Jesus? Thank You Lord for hearing our prayers and thank You for Your answers which we pray for in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
