We are pleased to have Ralph Reed with us this month as we pray for our government. He currently leads the Faith and Freedom Coalition. God has used him tremendously in many ways through the years.
"President Trump received wide acclaim from his supporters for the selection and confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, but legal experts are urging Trump to make good selections soon for scores of vacancies on lower federal courts. . . .
Pray that our federal courts will be filled with wise judges who will seek God for direction in ruling.
"'An unidentified guest uses a Trump Hotel branded umbrella as she walks into the West Wing of the White House,' read the caption of an Associated Press photo in the Washington Examiner picturing an attractive young woman whose face is becoming increasingly familiar in Washington political circles.
Pray that the Trump Administration's foreign policy will reflect the heart of God for Israel.
"A nineteenth century relic of the long-running, but now passé, Protestant/Catholic conflict, retooled for use by secularists against religious organizations, may be on the chopping block at the Supreme Court this spring. At issue is the fate of many so-called 'Blaine Amendments,' state constitutional amendments informally named after James G. Blaine, a nineteenth century Secretary of State and Republican presidential candidate in 1884, who unsuccessfully attempted to amend the U.S. Constitution to prohibit state . . . .
Pray for God's will to be done in the Trinity Lutheran case, which the Supreme Court is now deciding. Pray for churches to be able to freely partner with governmental entities in providing needed services in communities across this country.
If you want to be a change agent on the earth and have powerful and effective prayers, you can count on the enemy doing everything he can to build a case against you so as to nullify your impact. This is why it is critical that we know how to address these attacks with the proper perspective and the proper authority in prayer. In Revelation 12:10-12 we are given three tools of spiritual warfare when dealing with the enemy: "They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death."
