Like angels from heaven, hundreds of "prayer warriors" have descended on Washington D.C. to undertake a crucial mission: protect U.S. President-elect Donald Trump by building a "prayer shield" around him ahead of his Jan. 20 inauguration.
Among these prayer warriors are the members of a new group called POTUS Shield (as in President of the United States) who gathered inside the National Press Club on Thursday, CBN News reported.
Pastor Eric Majette from Virginia Beach, Virginia said POTUS Shield is composed of pastors from all over America.
"We're actually a prayer group. We pray for leaders across our nation — a group of pastors come together to pray for our nation and our leaders, particularly the new administration," he said.
Speaking at the gathering, Alveda King, the niece of famed civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the director of Civil Rights for the Unborn, said they are counting on God to bring sweeping positive changes to America. Advertisement
"We're really not looking for Mr. Trump or any human to change America, but we know God can and will do it," she said.
Pastor Leon Benjamin from Richmond, Virginia addressed the concerns aired by members of the African-American community who fear that the Trump administration will mean trouble for them.
"We must believe for the best," Benjamin told CBN News. "It doesn't matter who is in the White House as long as there is faith that God has not forsaken us and that He has not left us because of a transition of power. That would be dreadful for us as pastors and leaders to say 'Oh my God, we're doomed now!' So we're very hopeful."
Other prayer warriors descended on Capitol Hill to pray not only for Trump but also for Ben Carson, the former Republican presidential candidate and Trump's nominee as Housing and Urban Development Secretary, during his Senate hearing.
Meanwhile, TIME reported that Trump has invited some of his former critics in the Christian community to take part in his inauguration. The weekly magazine found out that Rev. Sam Rodriguez Jr. is expected to stand on the inaugural platform together with Trump and proclaim Jesus' famous words from the Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
He will be joined by Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, who is expected to read aloud a passage from Solomon's prayer to God when he became king of Israel. "Even one who is perfect among human beings will be regarded as nothing without the wisdom that comes from you," the passage reads.
Both Rodriguez and Dolan were known Trump critics during his campaign.
I read about this earlier on FB. Amazing. Thanks for posting
Let’s hope he also bans fat FakeNews documentary makers!
How wonderful that this is being done.
Ping!
amen!!!
Continued prayers for a peaceful transition and divine protection!!
Lots of Christians are fasting and praying for president Trump and the inauguration! Plus God is sending His mighty angels known as the bikers for trump!!
I pray for his protection every day, as well as for his family and his advisors,his Cabinet, and the same for Mike Pence and his family and advisors.
There is great evil in DC.
Many evil people.
Only God made it possible for America to get this one more chance to reclaim its heritage.
The exorcism of this evil starts on Friday at 12 noon.
And the evil will not go away quietly or easily.
We have to pray it out.
He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Trump Prayer Ping!
Didn’t know this. How wonderful, we are in His good hands through these prayer warriors in DC (and those of us praying at home).
Amen!
I pray that Christians do not become complacent with this new found blessing that God has granted - a reprieve from the liberal evil if you will.
We all should pray for Trump and his cabinet’s protection from the evil OWG liberals.
It’s been reported also Mike Pence will take oath using Reagan’s Bible, open at 2 Chronicles 7:14

Over a month ago, I woke up to find my Bible laying open beside me. I was fascinated by that event because my Bible wasn’t there when I went to sleep.
I picked it to read the message & it spoke of His “armies of angels.”
Now I pray for the release of His armies to surround, infiltrate and protect DJT, MP and all in attendance in DC., that He interrupt all that evil ones attempt to bring down our Lord’s POTUS & USA; that no hand formed against them shall prosper.
I cannot be in DC, but know that we will be joining in prayer with the Warriors! God bless. God speed. God bless America!
A beautiful sight to behold.
Amen
May God send mighty angels to end the demonic influence in Washington.
Prayers up!
Prayer ping
We need to continue to pray as diligently for our country now as we did before the election.
WE CANNOT LET UP, because the enemy won’t either.
