After flying into Kenosha, Wisconsin, President Trump toured the damaged areas of Kenosha, then met with six people who had lost their businesses through the riots, telling them, “”We’ll help you rebuild. This is a great area, a great state.” He then convened a meeting of leaders including Attorney General William Barr; Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.; and the local congressman, chief of police, head of homeland security and Christian leaders. These included Pastor James E. Ward Jr. and his co-pastor and wife, Pastor Sharon, of Insight ChurchPastor James has been the pastor of the family of Jacob Blake, still hospitalized after being shot multiple times by Kenosha police on Aug. 24, for more than 30 years.

Partway through the meeting, the president asked Pastor James, “Would you lead us in prayer?” Pastor James then led in a powerful prayer for unity and for the power of God to take over the situation in Kenosha as the entire room bowed in prayer. Pastor Sharon also explained to the president how intercessory prayer was being raised to defuse the situation, saying, “I represent intercessors. We need to bring change until we can bring our nation back to the place of moral law.”

Pastor James then spoke to the president, saying, “Jesus Himself was the peacemaker, and we want to be of service to you about how we build the foundations of spirituality and morality. I would like to say we are here to be of service to you and our country, and we can help, listen and have empathy. We want to be of service to you and our nation to bring healing. We are available.” . . .

Father, our enemy has been using mind control to fragment the minds of unsuspecting children, teens and adults. I pray that the Christian counselors that have worked for over 10 years for helping them will be multiplied that we can tell the enemy in great faith: LET MY CHILDREN GO IN JESUS’ NAME!

I recommend Gina Phillips on McFiles (2 programs so far) that will educate the church and the world what is happening and has happened to our culture. There is a book she recommends with prayers from Dan Duval of Dallas TX, Prayers that Shake Heaven and Earth.

Is this humor, Pres. Trump is the Apostle and head of the church world wide, it it the pastors are to go to him: The Miracle that have made his apostleship validated is the miracles of the economy: 1 Cor 12:28
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings,
ASV
2 Cor 12:12
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, by signs and wonders and mighty works.

    I am not sure at all what you meant by your comments. I have looked up the Scriptures you referenced and the first one stops just short of what to me is one of the most important ones in the New Testament: You know, that one about love? I was drawn to the fact that there was only one “Amen” indicated and I immediately thought, “I know how Jim must feel!” Because when we pour out out earnest thoughts and feelings about something and nobody else seems to know the importance of it, it can be very frustrating. This is because the Lord has encouraged us to engage in prayer and to comment as to what we have come to understand about the matter. I know how hard it is for me to comment sometimes because it is a spiritual matter and often cannot be easily conveyed. I hope you will feel free to continue to pray and share your thoughts and contribute to the efficacy of the Body of Christ.

      thanks for you concern, I appreciator that, but I only say what I am supposed to, maybe they are seeds, but if no one pays any attention, it is not my job to make them hear the Truth, That is God Almighty’s job. IF Paul let the Jews not listening to him, then he would have been discouraged and may have stopped, but then he went to the gentiles instead.

    By most of your comments Jim, I feel that you just might believe in the separation of church and state. Without God and faith having some influence in our National government we might as well just lay down and let Communism take over. How would that work out for you if we ever became a people too afraid to pray like we do here at IFA and support a President who calls for prayer for himself and our country. No, he is not an Apostle or is he calling himself one.

Heavenly Father, You have placed in power President Trump in this critical time in America amidst crisis around the globe. Thank You for giving America a President who reveres Your Word, and never fails to ask Your blessing on America, and its people. Thank you, Thank You, Lord. Thank You for working all things together for Your people amidst the chaos. Thank You for the assurance that You are at the controls. You REIGN FOREVER AND EVER. Please overcome our enemies quickly, and renew America according to Your will. In Jesus’ Name. Amen

Father, thank you. Open the media’s closed eyes so they will be compelled to share stories like this!

Thank You Lord for the opportunity to speak via prayer into the hearts and minds of our nation’s leaders..I bind and cut off in the name of Jesus the influence of the evil one…. Where their eyes have been blinded by the enemy’s deception, I pray the fog be lifted! Give them ears to hear and eyes to see YOU and seek Your guidance! Daily send laborers across their paths both human and angelic. And give them dreams in the night… Thank You for each one and the opportunity for You to be glorified through their role of national leaders. Amen

Be ye wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove….so said Jesus about the many twists and turns of living in a hostile world. This President has learned this truth and understands the need to bring the wisdom of prayer and hence God into difficult situations. Reminds me of the words from Amazing Grace: “Through many dangers toils and snares, I have already come. ‘Tis Grace that brought me safe this far, and Grace will lead me Home.” Thank you Lord for this President. May You bring him home to the victory in Nov.

Lord, thank You for using this opportunity to allow these wonderful pastors to proclaim Your message of truth and to pray for unity for our nation. Thank You for working in President Trump’s heart to seek prayer and intercession for strength, guidance and discernment. Please be with those who have been tragically affected by the rioting and looting. Bring healing and comfort, unity and justice to all! Lord, please bring us liberty and peace as we seek to understand and love one another! In Jesus Name I pray!

As I understand all the network media channels immediately “cut the feed” as soon as they heard President Trump talking with the 2 pastors and asking them to pray. This video is something you will NOT see aired on network television. Possibly NOT even on Fox. Any mention of God or prayer is completely censored by network media. Therefore, Christians and America are NOT even aware that President Trump actually does seek, through prayer, God’s wisdom and guidance in the many decisions that he has made and must continue making.

As I listened to the President (this is our President that so many refer to as awful, racist, etc.) sincerely asking the pastors for prayer, I’m thinking this is the personality of a man of genuine compassion, concern, caring and love for “We the People” and America!! Wow, I was totally impressed by the President’s request. I truly believe President Trump has greatly matured in his faith during the last 4 years.

And the President was sincerely listening to Pastor James as Pastor talked about “Spiritual” law, moral law and civil law. Pastor James was “totally right on target”!! I pray the President “grabs onto” the need and the concept of “Spiritual law”!!

    Though I agree with most of what is said here, I am somewhat concerned about the subtle over tones of a rather judgmental attitude toward Trump that unfortunately blocks many Christians from seeing the log in their own eye while “spirit checking” everything Trump does and says with a magnifying glass..

    The out-come of this whole thing isn’t dependent upon Trump’s being “spiritual enough” for OUR satisfaction, he is doing his part! He is constantly opening the door for prayer and the proclamation of the gospel. The Republican Convention primarily under Trumps direction, had more gospel and testimony as to the goodness and mercy of God than public television has seen or heard for a LONG time! Trump gets it!
    He knows where the power truly comes from…All he is asking is that WE THE CHURCH, do our part and invoke that power. –and frankly I believe – so is JESUS!
