The blistering dissents by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito (with Chief Justice John Roberts signing off on Alito's opinion) tell the story of this 5-3 decision. Has God allowed this travesty in both logic and law to spotlight the need for a president who will nominate justices with sensitivity to the law and not ideology? How many more lives (women and babies) will be lost? Please pray!

IFA has said before in this space that until Senate and House members will be governed by the same laws they write for the rest of the populace, proposed tax "reform" will revolve around who pays most and where the money will come from. Rep. Ryan no doubt means well, but positive tax changes will not come until government spending is reigned in. Please pray accordingly.
"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended." (Romans 13: 1-3 NIV)

A Call to Fall in Humble Prayer
Sunday, July 3, 2016
America needs change. Yet the change we need does not come from
Washington or Wall Street. It comes from God. It begins with God's
people praying to Him for the change we need:
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves
and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then
will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their
land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
God promises real change - spiritual healing for our souls and our land
- if we will simply humble ourselves in repentant prayer before Him.
We have an amazing opportunity to join churches nationwide for the
"Call to Fall" on our knees. This call is nothing new. It follows many
biblical and historical examples that led to a national spiritual revival.
We have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have
rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.
(Daniel 9:5)
God prescribes a very specific type of prayer that is a necessary
prerequisite to healing and renewal. He calls on us to fall to our knees
before Him and take responsibility for the state of our nation by
confessing our corporate and individual sins.

The state of California, due to its size, association with the entertainment industry, accompanying celebrities, and huge economic impact has long lead the nation as a cultural trendsetter. Recently, a very controversial piece of legislation passed the state Senate, and is expected to clear the General Assembly, which has potentially draconian implications for Christian religious freedoms and previous constitutionally protected civil liberties. Among other things, this bill seeks to limit the religious exemptions from federal Title IX regulations that colleges and universities use for hiring instructors, teaching classes and conducting student services in line with their constitutionally protected exercise of faith. The author of the bill, Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, is part of the state legislature's seven member California Legislative Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Caucus, which advocates specifically for LGBT rights.
Such a political movement, typically starting in California, is a blatant attempt to destroy Christian expression in the state, then across the U.S. With due respect to the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), the proper response must come from Church leaders who will rise up and say "no" to this arrogant attempt to restrict religious freedom. Pray for Church renewal.
"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 NIV)

Get Out the Prayer 2016 is mobilizing believers to influence the political process not only with their votes, but through appeals to a higher authority. Dave Kubal, president of Intercessors of America, which is spearheading the effort, said Christians are exasperated with the inability of the political process to halt America's moral decline. Intercessors of America is a nonprofit group founded after Roe v. Wade to turn around America's moral decline.
We were pleased to see this positive article in The Washington Times (despite a small mistake in citing our name). We are glad for all positive publicity focused on our initiative to emphasize prayer during this election year. If you haven't already done so, you may sign up at www.GetOutThePrayer.com to network with intercessors in your area and around the country.
"for I know that through your prayers and God's provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance." (Philippians 1:19 NIV)

Fifty-five years ago the United States, in the persons of seven Supreme Court justices, told God to leave our public schools. Jesus said "bring the children to me" (Mk. 10:14, Luke 16:18) and these men said "No, the government will have them for itself and You can get out." God, His divine Majesty grievously offended, withdrew and now three generations of young Americans have spent roughly 30 hours a week for twelve years of their lives in a place where there is no truth, because the Truth has left. There are subjects useful to the state, but almost nothing about character or morals. The result of this is evident in our streets and the manifest corruption of virtually every aspect of American popular culture.
Readers of The Informer are familiar with Jim Kohlmann, IFA's Florida Area Director, and his passion for a return to righteous government in our nation. He has outlined a pathway of intercession we can follow to see revival, renewal, and restoration. Please join in accordingly.
"Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14:34 NKJV)
