“We Will Never Apologize for Our Faith”
On Monday, I watched the gathering at the Museum of the Bible where President Trump gave an address pertaining to prayer, America’s history, and her relationship with God. I wrote about this history and its importance in yesterday’s post, pointing out that both King David and Nehemiah fought and won spiritual battles on the strength of covenantal history. If you haven’t seen or heard the post, I strongly recommend taking a look.
Whitehouse.gov pointed out some of the issues Trump addressed in his speech:
“In a powerful address at the Museum of the Bible, President Donald J. Trump emphasized the enduring role of faith in America’s identity, highlighted his Administration’s unwavering defense of faith-based values, and reaffirmed his commitment to protecting our religious freedoms. The President also launched the America Prays initiative — a call for Americans to unite in prayer for the nation’s strength, peace, and prosperity as the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaches.
“President Trump reaffirmed our nation’s founding principles: ‘When faith gets weaker, our country seems to get weaker. When faith gets stronger… good things happen for our country. It’s amazing the way it seems to work that way. Under the Trump Administration, we’re defending our rights and restoring our identity as a nation under God. We are One Nation Under God — and we always will be.’
“President Trump called for Americans to come together in prayer: ‘Next year, we will celebrate 250 years since that Declaration was signed. As part of the grand commemoration… we’ve invited America’s great faith communities to pray for our nation, for our people, and for peace in the world.’
“Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner announced that more than 70 faith organizations and churches have joined together to participate in the America Prays initiative: ‘Think about the miracles that would take place over the next year… the transformation that you and I could witness in communities all across the land.’
“President Trump previewed new rules protecting Americans’ right to pray in public schools: ‘I am pleased to announce this morning that the Department of Education will soon issue new guidance protecting the right to prayer in our public schools.’
“President Trump highlighted the importance of faith in God: ‘To have a great nation, you have to have religion. I believe that so strongly. There has to be something after we go through all of this — and that something is God.’
“President Trump defended our American values of faith: ‘America has always been a nation that believes in the power of prayer and we will never apologize for our faith — ever, ever, never, never. We will never surrender our God-given rights. We will defend our liberties, our values, our sovereignty, and we will defend our freedom.’
“President Trump welcomed a 12-year-old California student [and had him comment] who was forced in school to read material contrary to his religious beliefs: ‘Last year, in fifth grade, Shay was forced to read a book to a Kindergarten student promoting a message of radical gender ideology that is contrary to his religious beliefs and ours.’
“President Trump admonished a Democrat Senator for denying that our rights come from God: ‘The need for this commission has never been clearer than it was last week when the ineffectual Senator from Virginia — a man named Tim Kaine — stated that the notion our rights come from our Creator is “extremely troubling” to him… It’s this Declaration of Independence that proclaims we’re endowed by our Creator with the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The Senator from Virginia should be ashamed of himself.’”(1)
I was very encouraged by this gathering. Regardless of what you think about President Trump’s past or his personality, no Bible-believing Christian should be anything but grateful that he is in office. Prayer and worship now take place regularly in the White House, including in Cabinet meetings. God is honored by our president, as is the church, and our Judeo-Christian roots. I am always blessed and moved as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Scott Turner prays, as he is often asked to do by President Trump. His prayers are always Bible based, passionate, relevant, and done in the name of Jesus – which I have NEVER heard done in past Administrations. Do not think that God will fail to honor this. He is, and will continue to do so.
Contrast this with the Democrat Party, which booed God off the stage and out of their official party platform at the 2012 Democratic National Convention; the contrast is stark. Just this past week, as President Trump mentioned, Democrat Senator Tim Kane insulted America’s Founders, contradicted our Declaration of Independence, and blasphemed God by saying our human rights don’t come from our Creator, but from government. Those on the Left no longer try to hide their disdain for God, the Bible, and our Christian roots. During his presidency, Obama began decreeing that we were not a Christian nation – and never had been. He actually mocked God and the Bible by lighting the White House in the colors of the Rainbow Flag when the Supreme Court redefined marriage to include same-sex unions. These and other actions by Obama removed the covering of the true beliefs and intentions of the Left. They want nothing to do with God and our history with Him.
America is now being saved by the mercies of God, made possible by repentance and prayer. President Trump and his team are part of this saving process. He openly calls upon God’s help and blessing, and does his best to honor the Lord. Heaven is listening. I encourage you to get on board with America Prays. Pray for our president and his staff; pray for the godly leaders in Congress; and pray for our Supreme Court justices. Ask Holy Spirit to give them wisdom, guidance, strength, integrity, and protection. Ask Him to hover over our nation’s capital, releasing power, light, and life. Use your Matthew 16:19 authority and forbid demonic influence from deceiving these leaders or thwarting God’s will and plans. Our prayers are being used to save America – don’t stop now.
Pray with me:
Father, thank You for Your mercy and love. The Godhead determined to redeem humankind before Adam’s fall even occurred. It is not a stretch for You to do so; it is Your nature to love and redeem. In fact, You delight in showing mercy (Micah 7:18).
When America’s government turned against You, denied You, mocked and booed You, You responded in love and grace, seeing us through the lens of the Cross. Your mercy prevailed. You are now restoring and healing our land. Thank You, thank You, thank You. As this occurs, we ask for the reversal of the damage that was done during our rebellious season. Reverse evil laws; restore the sanctity of life; save the young generation that was robbed of knowing You, and therefore of purpose and destiny. Cause the awakening they experience to be so incredibly powerful that it wipes away every gain made by demonic powers. Reverse it all, and use them to be the greatest transforming generation that has ever lived.
We pray for our leaders. Give them wisdom, understanding, strength, integrity, and protection. Think through them. Keep them from mistakes, from pride, and from presumption. Cause them to turn away from all compromise, and turn toward You with all of their hearts.
And we ask all of these things for our brothers and sisters in other nations. Send a worldwide great awakening. All of this we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Our decree:
We declare that mercy triumphs over judgment.

PTL! We are going back to The Roots & Values our nation was founded on! Thanks to President Trump obeying God's calling on his life for such a time as this! God please continue to Bless America! In God We trust!
I pray with you most everyday and in agreement with you. God Bless you and thank you for GH15 Amen!!!
Thinking of those who would prefer to use this as a spring-board to gather prayers for the demolishment of America and her leaders, I am reminded that even a Bronze Age king, by name of King David, refused encouragement and pushes to kill King Saul....though King Saul himself was out looking for David so as to eliminate him....because King Saul was God's anointed one. So I would encourage those within America's leadership who would prefer President Trump not to be, take note...God prevailed back in the Bronze Age, He will certainly do so now, even more so...
It is making a difference in all of us...Prayers for those in authority and influence changes me as I gain insight and it increases in my fervour to pray as I see the results.
