I Prayed have prayed
Father, we pray that You would give us courage to speak out. Help us not to be silent, God, but to stand for You in a hostile culture.

The German church stood by in silence and fear, allowing Hitler to take control. Are we making the same mistakes in America today?

In an interview with James Robison, Eric Metaxas details his new book, Letter to the American Church, and his inspiration for writing. He compares the church in America to the church in 1930s Germany and calls on believers to not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Do you want state prayer alerts?

 

Intercessors, we cannot stay silent. We must stand strong in the face of persecution, and we must do our best to reach those who are staying silent. We will only see change if we work together.

WILL YOU DRINK OF MY CUP?
by Eva

Will you drink of My cup, dear child?
You know not what you ask!
Yes, I know that you love Me
And your soul on Me you’ve cast.
Only look deep into My cup,
And I’ll cause your eyes to see
That to drink from My cup, My child,
You’ll suffer greatly for Me.
You’ll be hated for My Name’s sake,
And that without a just cause.
You’ll be “turned in” by your enemies
For spurning their unrighteous laws.
You’ll be ridiculed and scorned
And will suffer even worse.
You’ll be greatly misunderstood,
Forsaken, and even cursed!
You’ll suffer loneliness, sorrow,
Heartache and great despair.
At times, you’ll feel so all alone,
Questioning if I’m really there.
You’ll be killed all the day long;
For My Name, you’ll embrace your cross,
Daily surrendering your own will
And fully counting the cost.
‘Til the day you’ve entered My gates
When your life on earth is done.
‘Til the day you stand before Me
And hear Me say, “Well done!”
Yes, drink deeply of My cup, child
For I know all who are Mine.
Take up your cross and follow Me
And leave the world behind!

Dear IFA, speaking of not staying silent. With great urgency these CPS medical kidnapping cases must be exposed and stopped.

I know a godly, Christian, mother, a widow, in Georgia who has been battling CPS for 4 years. Her daughter, JJ, has severe autism, non verbal. It’s 100% a corrupt situation. They are close to permanently kidnapping this child. Please also pray Prov 11:21, etc.

Any chance of her getting any attenstion on her case with IFA? She has no support system and these wicked people prey upon mamas and children just like. These people must be stopped for the sake of all parental rights. These evil people must be told that we will not stand for them taking our children. We must pushed so this stops happening. CPS trafficks these kids as cash cows, etc.

Please reply. Please help. God commands us to defend the widow and the fatherless. Mom has no charges of abuse or neglect, etc. They attack her because she has religious exemptions to vaccines and say she is not working in the best interest of her child, etc. They also falsely cite not enoigh resources at home to support child but Medicaid approved nothing.

They know she’s a believer. They work together and wickedly do this to widows and single moms especially.

Thank you!

I had to confirm that the name of the platform that James Robison is speaking from, the Stream- , at least it seems to be.. the same Stream.. that Eric Metaxas friend John Zmirak-,created. Or maybe Robison was just featuring it. The logos for its name are the same when I compared them. It is really encouraging to see that James Robison is so willing to take this stand-, I did not realize that he had such patriotic convictions. Since events in my life of last week.. that probably the Lord used to get me out of my post lockdown daze-, I started physically hanging around and even attending a previous church that has no involvement in this movement.. as this area I live in, – pretty much all the churches are the same way.. even though they
( some)acknowledge the military, that’s about where it stays. Then I was encouraged, to see that they’re featuring a seminar type event where Sean McDowell.. who I believe is the son of Josh McDowell.. is teaching on” how a Christian should behave or function in politics”.. I did not go because I did not have the $5 to attend.. as I just was wanting to see what their take on it would be.. after having come from such a strong non-involvement perspective. I was curious to see if it would be more politically correct spin.. or actual courage being manifested and standing against evil. Their stance has been that there are essentials and non-essentials.. in God’s word, – which is of course heresy. And then I remembered that I had first heard those terms back in 1995-it when I was going to Calvary Chapel in this town. At the time I was too new to think anything of it.. and in fact I did not. Now when I reflect on that.. it saddens me to think that the same organization that Pastor Jack Hibbs in Chino Hills California, – has so stridently lead, as a black robe regiment pastor.. through these past two and a half years against evil.. is the same organization that was using those terms. Just the fact that any church is willing to use that term should be a glaring red flag.. as we know, there is no part of God’s Word that is not essential.. and of course, the most obvious thing here-,is that.. those are the same terms that the governor of California latched on to-, to deem the church worthy of closing.. think about that.
