President Trump's Religious Liberty Commission convened [Monday] and IFA senior staff, several IFA State Leaders, and intercessors were there. The invitation-only event not only featured remarks from President Trump about his personal conviction of the value of faith in America. He shared, "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 established the commission earlier this year by executive order.

As we listened to the comments President Trump made about faith and prayer, it was truly refreshing and uplifting to hear the unabashed need and desire for God and prayer in our nation. "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." (Image: via Intercessors For America)

Several children and families give poignant testimony to the Commission about being persecuted for their faith in public schools. Twelve-year-old Shay from California shared how disturbing it was to be forced to read a book about gender ideology to his kindergarten buddy. "I've been a Christian my whole life and Jesus means everything to me... I believe kids like me should be able to live our faith at school without being forced to go against what we believe."

The President announced that he and his administration are taking action to protect religious freedom for kids like Shay and their families in our nation. His Department of Education issued guidance to safeguard the right to prayer in public schools and reaffirm the importance of faith in American public life.

The President recounted how our nation was founded on the principles of faith, and we need to reaffirm those 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." To celebrate 250 years of faith in America, the President unveiled his call to increase prayer for our nation in an initiative called America Prays, of which IFA is a founding organization. HUD Secretary Scott Turner introduced the initiative on behalf of the Trump Administration. "We are a nation who has always believed in the power of prayer."

Intercessors for America was one of those Turner named as one of the initial supporting faith organizations of this movement. "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," Turner emphasized.

It was an answer to many intercessors' prayers through the years–to have a President so clearly, unabashedly, and fiercely seek to protect religious freedom, value the faith community, and honor God. You, dear intercessor, had a role in this through faithful intercession. We are truly seeing miracles in our nation. Keep praying! Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
