I Prayed have prayed

An atheist group has complained about new decals on a Florida county’s patrol cars that feature an American flag and the phrase “In God We Trust.”

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) argues the new “patriotic” decal, suggested by a local military veteran, is “frightening and politically dubious” in a letter to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, but Sheriff Wayne Ivey isn’t backing down.

”They have a better chance of me waking up thin tomorrow morning than they do of me taking that motto off our cars!” Ivey told Fox News. “I personally believe that our country is at a tipping point, and if we, as strong patriotic Americans, don’t stand for the principals of our great nation, we are going to lose the America we all know and love!”. . .

The FFRF and Williamson successfully defended the act of atheists giving invocations before county commissioner meetings in Brevard County. However, First Liberty Institute argues that not only is FFRF wrong here, but the group has “no basis in law, nor tradition.”

With the backing of the Supreme Court, First Liberty counsel, Keisha Russell, told Ivey to reject FFRF’s request, adding the motto “should be honored and celebrated as an expression of what it means to be American.”

“It is absurd to think that a Florida sheriff would be acting ‘inappropriately’ for posting the official mottos of both the United States and the State of Florida,” Jeremy Dys, First Liberty special counsel for litigation and communications, told Fox News. “This attempt to scold a public servant for acknowledging one of the most cherished traditions of our country is shameful.”

Will you pray to uphold Sheriff Ivey as he stands strong against the atheist group which seeks to limit religious freedom and remove our national motto?

Lord Jesus/Yeshua, we stand in faith and agreement with Sheriff Ivey!Thank You for this patriotic Community Servant for loving You, his job and the people he and his Staff protect to “Just Say No!” The Silent Majority continue to resign from the “silent” part and move into direct engagement with the powers and principalities waging war over this nation! Hear our prayers as we cry out to You, Lord, for righteous, God-honoring leadership at every level of government ~ City, State and National levels! 2 Chronicles 7:14 still applies!
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers ~

Thank You Father for the faith and courage of this Sheriff. Protect him and his family and all of his officers. May his courage inspire others to take a strong stand against those who want to take all that is Godly out of our nation. Give him favor in the sight of the people and all those in authority over him. Give him success in this as he stands firm and fights the good fight of faith. May his faith and determination grow stronger each day!!

Father,
We thank you for this sheriff who has recognized the importance of standing up for the name of the Lord. Your Word is very clear. We are not to be ashamed of the gospel of Yeshua (Jesus). May we as a nation and the people of God never lose sight of how God has made this nation to prosper for His divine purposes. Psalms 5:12 around all of our police officers and especially in Broward County at this time. May God surround you with favor as with a shield and Psalms 91 for divine protection. We are grateful for these brave men and women who put their lives out there everyday. No weapon formed against them shall prosper. In Yeshuas name Amen
