Ephesians 6:12 KJV – “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
As young black leaders gathered Friday in the White House for the Young Black Leadership Summit, one voice split the room asking for a moment to pray for President Donald Trump.
Turning Point USAโsย Benny Johnson shared video of what happened when the president brought the young woman to the podium. Mahalet, once an abandoned, impoverished orphan from Ethiopia, earned smiles and cheers from the president and the gathered crowd.
โIโm not really good with prayers or anything like that but I just want to say thank you, Mr. President, and I know we have a political warfare right now, but I strongly believe that it is a spiritual one as well,โ Mahalet said to cheers from theย crowd.
โAnd I want to make sure that I mean, I know that Americans are gonna wake up and weโre gonna get back to looking to God instead of social media and weโre gonna look back to Jesus because Jesus saves and this country was founded upon the Constitution, was built on Godly principles and weโre gonna fight for that,โ she said. โAnd I just want to encourage you guys to pray every day for this nation.โ
โDear God, Iโm not really good at this,โ Mahalet laughed. โBut I just want to say thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to be in the White House. Thank you for giving us a great leader like Trump, Mr. Donald Trump, and I would like to thank you for waking up our nation.โ
She continued, asking God for protection both for the nation and for theย president, adding, โGod, I believe that you gave him to us and I believe that heโs gonna accomplish so much more. I know you have more for us.โ
โJesus I ask you to protect us and walk with us and in Jesusโ name the enemy tries to attack us every single day,โ Mahalet concluded. โHe tries to discourage us but he has no room. ย He has no room, no more, and thatโs all I have to say.โ
