White House to host nine-hour prayer festival to spark 'religious renewal'



Spearheaded by Donald Trump’s administration, ‘Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving’ will feature evangelical leaders and special appearances from top officials.



Reverend Paula White-Cain, who works as a senior faith advisor to the White House, said: ‘It’s about the history and the foundations of our nation, which was built on Christian values, on the Bible.

‘This is really truly rededicating the country to God.’



Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other top Christian speakers will attend the event. Trump himself won’t attend the event, the Washington Post reported, but has recorded a video message to broadcast.

Where does Christ say it is ok to invade and kill the inhabitants of a country?

Sounds like a typical Turning Point USA event so far as I can tell. They have somehow next-leveled the prosperity gospel by making people think they can buy their way into heaven by donating to them and other right wing political groups.

Muslims won't let this go without an attack.

Trump-backed prayer festival on National Mall draws thousands: ‘We welcome Jesus!’​

Critics of Sunday's "Rededicate 250" event said it portrayed the United States inaccurately as a Christian nation and sought to erase the line between church and state.

A crowd of thousands transformed a block of the National Mall into an evangelical-style worship service Sunday at an event backed by President Donald Trump and funded with millions of taxpayer dollars.



In an eight-hour lineup, speakers including top government officials framed America as a country founded to be explicitly Christian — and in danger if its population turns from their version of that religious faith.

Sitting, standing, dancing and praising with hands raised toward a blazing sun, attendees appeared riveted as speakers took the stage during “Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving.” Many said they were thrilled to see an event that tied the nation and its government so overtly to Christianity.


“We welcome Jesus into this place!” worship leader Andy Frank said at the start of the event, belting from a stage with ivory-colored pillars that evoked the neoclassical architecture of the capital’s federal buildings.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking by video, said civilizations before Christianity saw history as a “wheel to nowhere,” and that “our faith” of Christianity has always been the “soul of our nation.”

Trump, who is not known for quoting the Bible, read a passage from Scripture in which God promises to heal the ancient Israelites if they agree to pray and humble themselves before God.

Until Trump’s second term in office, it had been virtually unheard of in modern times for U.S. government officials to publicly tie the nation to a specific set of religious beliefs. Trump’s cabinet members have changed that norm.
On Sunday, aside from a couple of small groups of protesters outside the event, attendees at the jubilee seemed unfazed by or grateful for the government imprimatur on their faith system.


“It’s about time and sorely needed,” said Richard Nuccitelli, 87, a real estate agent from New Fairfield, Connecticut, who traveled to D.C. with four friends from his Bible study group. The Constitution, he said, doesn’t work without a “moral and Christian population.”
Dennis Colado, 68, of North Lauderdale, Florida, wearing a T-shirt that read “Jesus is my savior. Trump is my president,” said he came to the event “to rededicate our country to Jesus.”

Mat 7:12 Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
Mat 7:13 “Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.
Mat 7:14 How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.

Mat 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Mat 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
Mat 7:23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
