A Prayer for President Trump from IFA

Heavenly Father, 

We come today as the body of Christ in this nation, to lift up our President, Donald J. Trump. As many voices rise up against this one You have set into office, we lift up our voices, with one heart and mind, to stand in agreement with heaven’s purposes concerning our nation. (Ps 133)

We stand by this President who has declared this nation to be under God’s rule and authority and seeks righteousness and justice for our nation. (Ps 89:14)

We welcome and embrace the fear of the Lord as the standard for all righteous rule and repent for the ways in which we have bowed to the fear of man. Cleanse our hearts and renew our minds that we may walk in the light of Your truth. (Ps 43:3)

We ask that President Trump would delight in the fear of the Lord in order to walk in the power of Your might and the wisdom of Your ways. (Mi 3:8)

May righteousness and faithfulness be his portion so that he may render righteous judgments according to Your Word. (Is 11:3-5)

We ask that President Trump would show no fear toward the evil that assails him (Is 8:12), but rather overcome it with a zeal and passion for Your laws which bring life and liberty to all. (Pr 10:29-32)

May he love Your Word and seek your wisdom diligently (Pr 8:17), remaining open and teachable to godly counsel and heaven’s wisdom. (Pr 1:7)

We thank You that his heart is in Your hands and that You will direct it according to Your will and purpose. Grant him increased grace and blessing as he heeds your voice and obeys Your word. (Pr 21:1)

We declare over President Trump that he will have true judgments by the Spirit and not according to man. (Is 11:3-4)

We declare that he will possess heaven’s knowledge with shrewdness of mind in making right decisions for the good of the people. (Pr 8:12)

Fill his mouth with good things (Pr 16:9-13) that he may speak what is true and right. (Pr 8:6)

We pray that he will use his God-given authority to execute justice and establish righteousness in this land for the sake of Your glory and Kingdom. (Gen 49:10, Ps 60:7)

We declare that he will rule in the midst of his enemies, not backing down or wavering due to threats or intimidation (Ps 110:1-2, Eph 6:13).

May his ears become deaf to the assaults from his enemies and may those who seek his life answer to You for their wicked ways. May he know that it is Your hand and Your sovereign purpose that is keeping him and sustaining him in his divine commission. (Ps 38:12-15)

Keep President Trump, and those who serve him, safe from the enemy’s snares and free from the accuser’s traps. (Ps 141:9-10)

By Your great hand, Lord, deal with those who oppose righteousness and justice so that all men will know it is You alone who is sovereign and true. (Ps 64:6-9)

May the fire of Your presence burn up all Your enemies and consume all those who stand against You concerning our destiny and inheritance as one nation under God. (Ps 97:1-6)

Thank you, Father, for hearing our prayers and empowering us as Kingdom ambassadors on the earth. From the highest office in the land to the least known among men, may we all seek to know You more intimately, serve You more passionately, and praise You more fully so that all men will be saved. Through the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Time on the Clock

Just a reminder that the elector college meets on Monday, so we need to be praying

into the matter before the Supreme Court. The court could weigh in anytime but the clock is running out.

Let us ask God to "remember" us; the righteous who are waiting on God to move.  Abraham had conversations with God, and God was moved.  Remember? Genesis 18:16-33. What about Jonah 3:10? Our God wants to have conversations with us, His children; I get it.

Are you a parent?  Don't you love it when your grown children WANT TO or better yet, CHOOSE TO spend time with you?  I know I never want my adult children to feel they HAVE to be with me. Right?  Isn't that how we are wired?  Well, who wired us?  Who are we created in the image of?  Y'all, God wants us to WANT Him because we like hanging out with Him - not because it is a duty as a Christian or a "have to", like to be saved.  He doesn't want us to want Him for what He can do FOR us; although He loves to "do" for us, it's about being WITH Him.  Think as a parent and it will help you shift in your heart toward the Lord. If you are not a parent, maybe you are married, or you are in a dating situation but anyway you slice it, I tell you, the same questions will apply. Do you WANT people to WANT to be with you? Even if you don't have a significant "other", you STILL desire your friends to WANT to be with you... it's how we were designed - for mutual relationship; both parties pursuing the time together!

Saint's, an athlete doesn't leave the field when the clock is still running.  Right?  They use up the clock; they finish the game. We get that in sports but again, this is a type of modeling as well. Let us not grow weary friends (Galatians 6:9) - there is still time on the clock! 

I have a friend who is a Hall of Fame and Hall of Honor award winner for basketball.  He got this achievement because of his ability to teach his players how to manage the ball, and his ability to use the clock in his favor.  MANY games were nail-biters, but he had many more wins than losses because of his ability to know how to play his sport. 

Y'all, I believe God is waiting for us... we think we are waiting for Him.  Ask Him.  He wants to have THAT conversation with you. He wants to find us and meet with us in the midst of this storm... it's what He does.

Maranatha.

Psalm 91 Prayer

Father God, thank You that [put your name, your family name, ministry or business here], dwells in Your secret place—the secret place of the Most High—and abides under the shadow of the Almighty.

In boldness, we decree that You are our refuge and our fortress, Our God, in You we will trust.

We trust you as [see the names of God list and insert here those names here].

Surely You deliver us from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. You cover us with Your feathers, and under Your wings we take refuge.

Your truth is our shield and buckler.

We are not afraid of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in the darkness, nor the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand. But it shall not come near us.

Only with our eyes shall we look and see the reward of the wicked

Because we have made the Lord who is our refuge even the Most High our dwelling place. No evil shall befall us, and no plague shall come near our dwelling for You have given Your angels charge over us to keep us in all of our ways. In their hands they shall bear us up lest we should dash our foot against a stone.

We shall tread upon the lion and the cobra and the young lion and the serpent we shall trample underfoot.

We have set our love upon You, Father, and therefore You will deliver us. You will set us on high because we have known Your name. We have known You as [see the names of God list and insert those names here].

We shall call upon You and You will answer us. You will be with us in trouble. You will deliver us and honor us. With long life, You will satisfy us and show us Your salvation.

We thank You for this in Yeshua’s Name…

Our Savior. Our Deliverer. Our Mashiach. The Messiah. The Anointed One.

Amen.
