God’s Destiny for America It is not hard to find God’s destiny for America. In 1607, at the English settlers’ first landing at Cape Henry, they planted a cross and dedicated the land to the glory of God. Robert Hunt said: “From these very shores the gospel shall go forth, to not only this new world, but the entire world.” The next group who arrived in 1620 wrote the Mayflower compact, the first constitutional governing document of Plymouth Colony. In it Governor Bradford stated, “…having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith…” In 1630, John Winthrop, the first governor of Massachusetts, said in a writing entitled A Model of Christian Charity, “We shall find that the God of Israel is with us, when 10 of us shall be able to resist 1000 of our enemies, when He shall make us a praise and a glory, that men of succeeding plantations shall say, ‘The Lord make it like that of New England.’ For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill [Matthew 5:14], the eyes of all people are upon us…” No less than 12 U.S. presidents have restated this purpose from Matthew’s gospel! “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Pray the words of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania: “Whereas the glory of Almighty God and of the good of mankind is the reason and the end of government, and therefore government itself is a venerable ordinance of God…let there be established laws as shall best preserve true Christian and Civil liberty, in opposition to all unchristian, licentious, and unjust practices, whereby God can have his due…” Pray that Holy Spirit visits him powerfully, fills him with Himself, and teaches President Trump His ways. And call forth the Third Great Awakening in this nation and around the world! A prayer you can pray: Father, we thank You that You had a dream in Your heart from the very beginning for America to be a nation that reflected You. We pray the words of William Penn, one of our founding fathers, “Whereas the glory of Almighty God and of the good of mankind is the reason and the end of government, and therefore government itself is a venerable ordinance of God…let there be established laws as shall best preserve true Christian and Civil liberty, in opposition to all unchristian, licentious, and unjust practices, whereby God can have his due…” We pray that President Trump would know this. Save him to the uttermost, Lord, and fill him with Your Holy Spirit. Teach Him Your ways and help him to walk in them. Even more than having a President that knows You, though, we must have a third Great Awakening! Come, Lord Jesus! Come! Today’s decree: We will let our light shine before men in such a way that they may see our good works, and glorify our Father who is in heaven!

Violence is Not the Way Forward “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate….Returning violence for violence multiples violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)1 “But the Lord is still in his holy temple; he still rules from heaven. He closely watches everything that happens here on earth. 5 He puts the righteous and the wicked to the test; he hates those loving violence.” (Psalm 11:4-5; TLB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Since the election of President Trump, there has been a spirit of violence, both in action and in word poured out in the nation. Cry out for the downward spiral to cease! Intercede between both the governmental administration and the people who were disappointed. Violence is not the answer on either side! Call for the Light of God to penetrate the darkness and drive the darkness out: of the government leaders’ communication, of the media reports, of celebrities’ comments, of the people who are angry. Loudly call out for a supernatural outpouring of God’s love on the nation! A prayer you can pray: Father, we call for the tidal wave of violent speech and actions to cease in America! It is spiraling downward and right on the verge of being out of control. As soon as one circumstance starts to wane, another pops up in its place. We need Your holy intervention, Lord. Send Your Truth and Your Light and penetrate the darkness and the hatred and the violence, wherever the source of it is. Jesus! Pour out Your Love on our nation! We need You! Amen. Today’s decree: The violence of words and actions will cease in this nation, as we humble ourselves and pray for the Love of God to be poured out on us and on all of those around us! 1 Martin Luther King, Jr., “Where Do We Go From Here?” as published in Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? (1967), p. 62.

Running Together Those in the media who are judging President Trump harshly are going to begin to find themselves far behind. Our President is a man that moves very quickly. He is used to making decisions and he has an innate ability to know the course of action that is needed. He is surrounding himself with those who can help him move forward quickly. Also, there are intercessors who have been trained by the Lord to run alongside leaders who can now run alongside this President, helping to open up the way ahead. Those who are running around judging him will run in circles and will soon find themselves left far behind. “Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?” (Romans 2:3; ESV) “Two can accomplish more than twice as much as one, for the results can be much better. If one falls, the other pulls him up; but if a man falls when he is alone, he’s in trouble.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9; TLB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Intercede for those who are judging President Trump’s every action. Ask the Lord to forgive them, because they really don’t understand what they are doing! Pray that President Trump’s greatest critics will rethink their positions, listening well to what he is really trying to accomplish. There might actually be points of agreement. Call forth the intercessors that have been trained by the Lord over many years to run alongside Christian leaders. They are needed now for this new assignment. If you are being called by God to pray for President Trump, thank you for joining us here for daily prayer points. A prayer you can pray: Lord, we stand in between those who are judging and the Judge of the Whole Earth and we ask You to forgive them. They really don’t understand what they are doing when they judge with such vehement judgement. Some, if not on the other side of the political spectrum, may have similar thought processes and answers. You can reach them before they are left running on an emotional hamster’s wheel. I call forth the intercessors You have trained. Those that can run alongside this President and help open up the way before him, so he can run even more effectively. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: “Two can accomplish more than twice as much as one, for the results can be much better. If one falls, the other pulls him up; but if a man falls when he is alone, he’s in trouble.”

Non-Politically Correct Words Donald Trump is President in part because of his quickness to comment. He is not politically correct and he appears to not care what anyone thinks of what he says—especially the press. Political Correctness is coming down. Journalists have often been ruthless. Almost every single thing the President says and does is twisted until it is hard to know the truth without researching back to the source. Most Americans won’t take the time to do that, so the battle rages on. “A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.” (Proverbs 17:27; NIV). Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord for first amendment freedom of speech rights. Pray they are preserved. Now, pray that the spirit of false accusation against the President will be stopped by the Lord. Pray for the public to be able to discern between truth and falsehood in the press. Intercede for the day to come quickly where Proverbs 17:27 can be a reality for President Trump. A prayer you can pray: Father, we are so thankful for the Constitution of the United States and the first amendment right of freedom of speech. Unfortunately, this means some use that freedom to report lies as if they are the truth. Some journalists feel free to call others to attack everything our President does. We ask You to stop the spirit of accusation, Lord. We ask that you help the public to discern truth from falsehood in the press. We ask that the President would soon get to the place that Proverbs 17:27 can become the hallmark of his Presidency. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: The Lord will crush the spirit of political correctness completely!

Don’t Listen to the Rabshakeh There are days I feel like I’m living in a foreign country where the media is controlled by someone behind the scenes. I have been praying much about what is going on in the media. Recently, I heard the Lord say, “Rabshakeh”. We find this character in 2 Kings 18. He is the messenger the King of Syria sent to the people of Jerusalem. He was sent to tell them not to listen to their King, Hezekiah. Sound familiar? Let’s pray that the voice of the Rabshakeh is silenced! The messenger from the King of Assyria said, “Don’t let Hezekiah talk you into trusting the Lord. Hezekiah says, ‘The Lord will surely save us. This city won’t be given over to the king of Assyria.’” (2 Kings 18:30; ICB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Say that you will honor the authority of our nation, President Donald Trump. Ask that God would correct any miscommunication from his office, including the things he says and tweets, those his staff and Cabinet say, especially if they say it on his behalf. Intercede between the way things are and should be in media reporting. Pray that the Father correct this, in the name of His Son, Jesus. Take authority over the Rabshekah and tell it that you will not listen to him! A prayer you can pray: Father, we thank You for the spiritual principle of honoring authority. We can trust You to deal with issues that leaders make and will allow You to do so. We will remove ourselves from dangerous situations, but otherwise, we will pray. Don’t allow the enemy to take advantage of the things our leaders, especially President Trump, say(s) and do(es). Intervene on their behalf, Father. Call the media into accountability! We take authority over the Rabshakeh spirit and proclaim that we will not listen to his rabble-rousing against his leader in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: God will call the media who are undermining President Trump’s authority into accountability to Himself!

Throw Water On It! “The present unrest was started by the media and is fueled by it. Let the media not cover it for a single day and it would die out. The media coverage is purposely inflammatory, and … mostly very exaggerated and sensationalized. We also have a generation conditioned to believe it and respond to it,” Joyner writes. “So, how do we counter this? You kill a fire by either depriving it of oxygen (don’t worry about it or talk about it), or you throw water on it, which is the truth. Most of those trying to inflame the present protests are being revealed as hypocrites by their own previous statements about how we need to do what Trump is now doing.” (Rick Joyner, MorningStar Ministries)1 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Media has become god-like to this generation, especially to the young. Ask the Lord to save and deliver our nation from media worship. Ask the Lord to help the Church to avoid the bait of Satan – picking up an offense and becoming defensive. Cry out for Truth in journalism and all forms of reporting. Declare that media outlets and reporters creating fear and riotous unrest through their reporting will be held accountable for their actions in the courts of America and in the Court of the Lord. A prayer you can pray: Lord, we intercede for the tearing down of the altar of worship called “media”. Save this generation and turn our hearts to You and away from our god-screens. Forgive Your people when we take the bait and react foolishly, as if we could defend You or our President by our social media postings! Instead, we cry out for Truth in the reporting of our President’s and government’s actions. Lord, we know You see! Some who are reporting the news do so in such a way that people become fearful and so angry that they riot in the streets. We forgive them and ask that You would hold them accountable in Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: We will know the truth and the truth will set us free! 1 Full article here at Charisma News.

February 4 – Pray for Truth in Media “Has secular media become such a part of our mental and spiritual landscape that we do not recognize the impact they are having on our nation? Are we afraid they’re powerful influence is too big to overcome? In 1 Samuel 17, we read how David was not afraid to confront giants when they were opposed to God and His people. Goliath’s greatest weapon was not so much his size or strength. In fact, King Saul and the Israelite army hadn’t gone near enough to test the giant’s military prowess. They were sitting on the hillside frightened, discouraged, and on the verge of defeat, simply because of Goliath’s BIG mouth! David had little, if any, experience on the battlefield, but he had developed some faith-filled strategies in the school of prayer and worship. He didn’t know much about Goliath, but he had become well acquainted with the LORD of hosts.  God’s servant confronted the taunting Philistine in the name of the LORD Almighty and with a declaration of truth. Then the shepherd boy slung a stone, striking Goliath in the forehead, causing him to fall face down on the ground. Although we are told the stone killed the Philistine, David didn’t stop halfway. He used the opposition’s sword to cut off his head, showing God’s authority over the mind. This was a giant faith builder that Goliath would never taunt God’s people or defy the Holy One of Israel ever again!” “Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21; HCSB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Ask God to position His servants in media and empower them to faithfully walk in integrity and humility. Pray they will be filled with knowledge, wisdom and understanding that comes from God. Pray they will not use their words carelessly, but their tongues will bring forth life (Proverbs 11; 18:21; Romans 10:14, 15). Pray that deception, lies and ungodly philosophies in our media will be exposed and not allowed to infiltrate and infect the church. Decree and declare that the light of Truth will dispel the darkness (Luke 8:17). Thank God for placing His Spirit upon the leaders He has placed in the media and His Word on their tongue (2 Samuel 23:2–4). Ask, believing that God-called media leaders will be bold, fearless, and unafraid to expose the truth about threats to our government. Pray they will be willing to refute every evil word spoken against Jesus followers and will be unashamed of the gospel (Jeremiah 1:10; Isaiah 54:17; Romans 1:16). Pray that God will strategically position heralds of peace, who will bring good news and proclaim salvation to the nations (Isaiah 52:7). Wait before the Lord for further direction from the Holy Spirit and remember to thank God for hearing and answering our prayers. A prayer you can pray: Father, media in this nation is spinning out of control. They see themselves as the mouthpiece of America and they are shouting loud what they want the American populace to believe. This has to stop! We come boldly to Your throne and ask that you would place and grant influence to Your people in media outlets. Give them wisdom to report the news and let their tongues speak forth life over the nation! Make them fully unashamed of the Gospel and free to proclaim in over the airwaves. Replace the fear and anger currently going forth with Your words of truth and peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: God is hearing and answering our prayers to bring Truth to media in America!

Feb. 3 – The Court’s Limitation of Power The U.S. Supreme Court has become untethered from the Constitution and exercised authority that it does not have—like abolishing prayer, bible reading, and the display of the Ten Commandments in our schools.  The Court has legalized unlimited abortion, same-sex marriage, seizure of property for commercial use, and much, much more. The U.S. Supreme Court and our Federal District and Circuit Courts of Appeal are now packed with judges who believe in a living, breathing Constitution that can be interpreted so as to change with the times. As morals in culture change, so do the moral standards by which some Judges interpret the Constitution. If a judge believes strongly in an issue about which the Constitution does not speak, he can “discover penumbras” (i.e., shadows) in the Constitution or draw his authority from thin air. This has gone way too far for the American people and if it is not changed by our new President, by choosing judges to serve at every level who believe in judicial restraint, originalism and who believe, as did the aforementioned Justice Joseph Story and many others, that there is a higher law and a Higher Judge than themselves, our Republic, our experiment in self-rule, will be over (Is 40:8). “For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.” (Isaiah 33:22) “I will worship… and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy name.” (Psalm 138:2) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Ask God to Move mightily to overhaul our judicial system. Even as many believe our new President is responding to the Spirit of God, he has gathered a great many believers around him who are ministering Christ constantly, may he and each member of our Supreme Court be moved by the Holy Spirit to draw near to Him who is our King. May our President choose men and women who hold to the Constitution, originalism and Judicial restraint, but who also hold to our Creator, the Supreme Judge of the World, our Savior and only King. May they revere His word, which He has magnified above His Name. May He choose Justices and Judges who are fully equipped, ready as stewards to be faithful to their oath and calling to the very end, rightly dividing the Words of the Constitution and the Word of God as it pertains to men, the law, and nations. As God brings revival to our land may it come from the bottom up and the top down! May it break out in every sphere of culture and especially civil government which impacts every segment and subset of society. May the day come when we, like ancient Judah, come with fruits of repentance, as one man in solemn assembly to truly dedicate our nation back wholly to Him! (see Solemn Assembly – Richard Owen Roberts) A prayer you can pray: Father, we cry out to You to draw the members fo the Supreme Court to Yourself. Just as You have done this with our Executive Branch, we ask that You do it for our Judicial Branch, as well. We can believe for this miracle! We look to You and You alone to re-set our government and Court. We must have God-fearing leaders that uphold the Constitution and respect the Rule of Law. We look forward to a President and Congress that calls us to as a nation to holy convocations and seasons of prayer serious matters the Supreme Court will face. In Jesus’ Name, amen. Today’s decree: For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us!

Feb. 2 – Pray that Court Rulings regarding Human Sexuality Will Honor God The June 2o15 Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court ruling redefined marriage for every American state to include persons of the same sex, including 31 states whose constitutions included amendments to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Obergefell, like Roe, strikes at the core of Gods creative order. While the Bible and the U.S. Constitution promise life, Roe gave death to millions, enabling millions to believe that taking their baby’s life was authorized by the highest authority in the land. While Obergefell promises liberty, it has brought the entire nation into bondage – the homosexuals who believe their lifestyle has been authorized by the highest authority in the land, while those who reject the ruling because of their religious faith have been punished when they live out their faith by refusing to participate in a same-sex wedding or refusing to affirm same sex marriage when commanded to do so by a military commander or employer. The Court has elevated some by sanctifying their sexual practices, while making a pariah of those who maintain fidelity to their religious faith. “In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.” (Rom 1:18-32; Jude 1:7). Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: May God send Christian revival which alone can cleanse the hearts and heal those damaged physically, mentally and spiritually by their Supreme Court-encouraged, self-destructive behaviors. Only God can transform those whose personalities have been altered by their involvement in dangerous behaviors. May He send such a revival! May God guide our President, who has been ambiguous in his posture toward LGBT matters, into all Truth. May he appoint pro-biblical and traditional marriage justices to the Supreme Court and judges to our federal courts. May God’s people be given faith to believe that the wrong decisions our courts have made and the problems they have created, can be reversed. Just as the horrific Dred Scott decision was reversed. May Life, Marriage, and the God of Creation and His created order be yet again wholly respected by the vast majority of Americans and honored in American life and law! A prayer you can pray: Father, we first ask You boldly to send forth a revival in this nation! Touch those who are confused, fearful and who have been wounded by the actions of our Supreme Court. The Court cannot fix their hearts. Only You can. Please grant our President wisdom and revelation on this, so that his nominees to the Court will make decisions on an historical and Constitutional basis, which pleases You. We pray that  the Court would be open to reversing past wrongful decisions, so that blessing can pour out in this nation. May Life and Marriage be wholly respected in America once again. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: The heart of our nation will be turned from immorality to the Way of the Lord and we shall be a nation blessed by Him! By Pierre Bynum, Family Research Council See FRC’s A Critical Analysis of Obergefell v. Hodges by Travis Weber See FRC’s Issue Analysis: “Filling Justice Scalia’s Seat and Beyond.”

Feb. 1 – Pray that the Court will Rule in Favor of Pro-Life Policies Over the past 44 years, Americans have “legally” taken the lives of nearly 60 million innocent unborn babies, without the due process of law guaranteed every American by the U.S. Constitution. Just as the U.S. Supreme Court erred horrifically in its 1857 Dred Scott Decision, declaring that “a negro, whose ancestors were imported into [the U.S.], and sold as slaves… whether enslaved or free, could not be an American citizen and therefore had no standing to sue in federal court,” so the 1973 Roe v. Wade,  the 1973 Doe v. Bolton, and the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey rulings, which were based upon utter distortion of the constitution to fit the politically correct thinking of the then majority of justices. The loss of each baby’s life, the guilt and damage to mothers who felt justified by the new “law,” to take their baby’s life, must be shared by all who have stood by idly, content to watch what has turned out to be an American massacre. Moreover, we have pushed this “American policy” on foreign lands, and required those who receive American aid to adapt similar policies. And while the Hyde Amendment prevented Federal Tax dollars from going to abortionists, we have funded Planned Parenthood at home and abroad for all these decades. These policies are being brought to an end by President Donald Trump. Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: May God move upon our Supreme Court and our Federal and State courts urgently to repent of and reverse the pro-abortion rulings past Courts have delivered. May President Trump move quickly to appoint a solidly pro-life Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court and similarly lifetime pro-life judges to the Federal Courts. May governors follow suit and appoint pro-life Justices to their State Supreme Courts and pro-life judges to the lower courts. May God move upon the spirits of all Americans to reevaluate their views about abortion. May those who identify as pro-life multiply until American culture has become a culture of life and not death. May President Trump and Congress work together quickly to defund Planned Parenthood and expand and make permanent the Hyde Amendment to prevent any expenditure of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions anywhere. May God send us a Biblical multi-generational Revival that literally rebuilds our lives, repairs our families, restores a Biblical worldview to our culture, heals our land and with the sins of our past blotted out by the blood of Jesus, make us an influence for righteousness in the world until Christ returns! A prayer you can pray: Dear Lord, we thank You for a new Supreme Court nominee. We have hope for a shift toward life! We repent yet again and cry out for the reversal of pro-abortion rulings of the past. We ask that You would cause a full exposure of abortion practices in America. Pull the curtain all the way back, Lord! We ask that all taxpayer dollars be removed from pro-abortion centers and that funding be given, instead, to those women’s centers that promote and uphold Life! Forgive our national shedding of innocent blood and heal our land, dear Jesus. Amen. Today’s decree: We will see the reversal of abortion practices in the United States during our lifetime.

Jan 31st – Pray our Courts will Defend Religious Liberty! Tonight, President Trump is scheduled to announce his pick for the U.S. Supreme Court to fill Justice Anthony Scalia’s seat. The political fireworks have already begun in the U.S. Senate. Please keep this prayer target series to help you pray for a process that could take months. Your prayers are needed for this and future court appointments! A growing anti-religious freedom movement has materialized over the past 60 years. Our First Liberty seems to have been forgotten by too many Americans, among them state and federal government leaders, including the courts. Religious liberty has been under increasing assault from every direction. One gospel coalition analyzes it thus: 1) Religion has become personal and private, not public; 2) Freedom of religion has been reinterpreted to mean freedom of worship; 3) Fewer people claim to be religious today; and 4) The Sexual Revolution has advanced its own vision of sin and salvation. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” (Galatians 5:1; KJV); “Stand and Pray!” (Ephesians 6:13-18; KJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord for stirring Americans, and especially Christians, to push back in November’s Election against the tide of anti-faith government discrimination. Pray for President Trump and his advisors and appointees, that they will work with Congress to pass laws that stop anti-religious discrimination and bleeding caused by the previous administration, state and local laws and ordinances. Pray that the American people will be delivered from their biases favoring sexual activism over religious liberty and that anti-religious secularism will cease to be advanced in our public schools and colleges. Ask God to spur activist judges to retire. May He guide the Trump Team to weigh Religious Liberty heavily in choosing every future SCOTUS Justice and federal judge.  In Jesus’ Name! A prayer you can pray: Father, tonight is a key night for our nation. President Trump will announce the nominee for the Supreme Court. We are trusting You that he has sought You and sought wise counsel, and has chosen the right person needed on our Court at this time. We long for a Justice that will not legislate from the bench! We pray that You would deliver Your people from religious discrimination; that first amendment rights would no longer be denied for Christians. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: God will give us the Justice He has been preparing to take Justice Scalia’s place! By, Pierre Bynum, Family Research Council See FRC’s Issue Analysis: “Filling Justice Scalia’s Seat and Beyond.”

January 30th – Pres. Trump will also Appoint Many Federal Judges Founding Father Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers, #78: Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them…the general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter; I mean so long as the judiciary remains truly distinct from both the legislature and the Executive. Yet, instead of exercising judicial restraint, over the past 60 years the U.S. Supreme Court has become a super-legislature and an oligarchical dictator that has departed from the Constitution, the Declaration, Natural and Revealed law, and lost any sense of obligation to the standards or authority of the Supreme Judge of the Universe. “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness… Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees… that write grievousness which they have prescribed…” (Isaiah 5:20; 10:1; KJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Pray that God will help President Trump and his advisors choose the very best of the best: truly God-fearing conservative, originalist justices and judges to populate the Supreme Court and all of our federal courts. May God give Pres. Trump the maximum number of opportunities to appoint such justices and judges in the next four years and beyond! May God’s people, who prayed and took action this Election, continue to aggressively pray to support the President, now under vicious attack from many quarters – his person, his family, his work and decision-making. May he grow in wisdom, and in relationship with the Lord. May he and his cabinet have great success and win the hearts of a hostile bureaucracy and many Americans who did not vote for him. May he be given health, longevity in life and in office and may he leave the legacy of a judiciary revived and restored by the Founders’ blueprint. A prayer you can pray: Lord, we pray again today that President Trump will present a God-fearing, conservative man or woman to serve in Justice Scalia’s place on the Court. We ask that he would have the opportunity to place more than one new justice over the next 4 years. Lord, we pray You would guard him with Your eye upon him. The media and many others are doing everything they can to misrepresent him and cause conflict over everything he does. We ask for grace in this nomination, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: The Supreme Court of the United States of America will be seated with those that refuse to call evil matters good, then try to make the Constitution follow their own human judgements.
