For us to receive and put on the Ephesians 6 “full armor of God” as we begin each hour,
that we might be protected as we continue to “stand in the gap” for our beloved country!
Pray.
The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection and ask that he be led by the Holy Spirit
so that he will discern truth and act for the good of the nation.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage and family, and cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For those leaders that God has anointed, appointed, and elected,
as they take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
May they work together to clean up corruption in our government and restore our electoral system.
Pray.
For God’s blessing and intervention in the life of Joe Hoft and his family,
bringing a miraculous resolution to the issues threatening and attacking him!
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump,
focusing our prayers against any demonic attacks against his physical body,
in particular, the issuance of the demonic decree (“fatwa”) by the Iranian Ayatollah,
calling on Muslims to take his life.
Let him remain in good health, so he can serve his entire 4-year term as our 47th US President!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ENGAGING IN A WARFARE OF LOVE, PRAYING FOR THE SALVATION OF OUR NATION
AND THE RESTORATION OF OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES – PART 172
“Preach the word!
Be ready in season and out of season.
Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.”
2 Timothy 4:2
Powerful shift:
Trump IRS realizes the President’s promise, saying churches can endorse political candidates
The Internal Revenue Code prohibits churches and other tax-exempt nonprofit organizations “from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.” However, the Internal Revenue Service agreed in federal court on Monday, that church leaders are now free, not only to speak to their congregations about electoral politics, but to endorse political candidates without worrying about losing their tax-exempt statuses. Church leaders have long been limited in what they can say to their congregations about political candidates and political matters as a result of an amendment introduced in 1954 by then-Democratic Senator Lyndon Johnson, who was supposedly keen on hamstringing his political opponents. President Donald Trump, making good on a 2016 campaign promise, took action against the so-called “Johnson Amendment” in his first term, signing an executive order directing his Treasury Department to effectively halt its enforcement. Trump said at the time:
“Faith is deeply embedded into the history of our country, the spirit of our founding, and the soul of our nation.
We will not allow people of faith to be targeted, bullied, or silenced anymore.”
Pray.
Issuing a new interpretation of the tax code, the IRS said churches and other houses of worship registered as tax-exempt nonprofits can endorse political candidates to their congregations. The decision was communicated in a court filing intended to settle a lawsuit filed by two Texas church pastors, the IFA and NRB, two Christian groups who had claimed that “churches are placed in a unique and discriminatory status by the IRS” and that the agency “operates in a manner that disfavors conservative organizations and conservative, religious organizations in its enforcement of § 501(c)(3).” Pray.
501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations have long been prohibited from endorsing candidates or otherwise intervening in campaigns for political offices as a condition of their tax-exempt status. In its court filing, the IRS said endorsing candidates neither constituted taking part or intervening in a political campaign, as the agency’s code currently describes. “Bona fide communications internal to a house of worship, between the house of worship and its congregation, in connection with religious services, do neither of those things, any more than does a family discussion concerning candidates,” the agency wrote. “Thus, communications from a house of worship to its congregation in connection with religious services through its usual channels of communication on matters of faith do not run afoul of the Johnson Amendment as properly interpreted.” Pray.
Progressives have long championed this ban, which serves to attenuate the influence of religious leaders in American politics. Conservatives, alternatively, have argued that the “Johnson Amendment” stifles free speech; limits the ability of religious leaders, acting in their official capacities, to become more fully involved in the political process; and creates a legal environment ripe for abuse and biased enforcement. The IRS also noted it has not generally enforced prohibitions on endorsing candidates, referred to as the Johnson Amendment, in the context of worship services. A 2022 investigation by ProPublica and the Texas Tribune found that at least 18 churches had endorsed political candidates, and the agency largely looked the other way.The plaintiffs that sued the IRS had previously asked for an even broader exemption, allowing all nonprofits to endorse candidates to their members. Pray.
In its court filing, the IRS said prohibiting churches from endorsing candidates would create “serious tension” with the First Amendment. For many houses of worship, the exercise of their religious beliefs includes teaching or instructing their congregations regarding all aspects of life, including “guidance concerning the impact of faith on the choices inherent in electoral politics,” it wrote. Pray.
White House assistant press secretary Taylor Rogers told Blaze News, “Under the Biden administration, places of worship were at risk of losing their tax-exempt status for constitutionally protected sermons and speeches. The Trump administration will not tolerate this infringement on Americans’ First Amendment rights. This decision is a victory for religious liberty for people of faith across the country.”
We pray:
We celebrate the return of our foundational values, upon which this nation was established and pray In thanksgiving that faith leaders can now freely endorse candidates from the pulpit without jeopardizing their churches’ tax-exempt status. Pray.
For a complete and thorough overhaul of all Federal agencies that have restricted individual freedoms and enacted policies that are unconstitutional! Pray.
That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray.
Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors, in particular, Godly men and those of the next generation who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
