Speaker (elapsed time) (speaking time)
Donald Trump 00:46:19-00:46:25 (6 sec)
Come on up. Come, come. We have some great people in this room and we’re leaving a few out but it’s only because we don’t see you. OK.
Paula White 00:46:25-00:46:26 (1 sec)
Stand here, sir.
Donald Trump 00:46:26-00:46:27 ( sec)
Sure.
Paula White 00:46:27-00:46:47 (20 sec)
We’ll take that. First off, thank you so much, President, and for all the great faith leaders that are here, Happy Easter. This is a very holy week for us, and we’re just honored you took your valuable time for all of our cabinet members and secretaries, we thank you. And most of all, I really feel like the Lord gave me something this morning and this is family.
Paula White 00:46:47-00:46:49 (2 sec)
So I want to thank you very much.
Donald Trump 00:46:49-00:46:52 (3 sec)
You should’ve gotten dressed up a little bit more. [Laughter]
Paula White 00:46:52-00:46:55 (3 sec)
I know. We – we were initially having a dinner, so.
Donald Trump 00:46:55-00:46:56 (2 sec)
It’s actually nice.
Paula White 00:46:56-00:47:15 (19 sec)
Thank you, sir. And so I decided to wear it anyway. But the Bible says to give thanks for all things and as I was praying this morning, the word gratitude just kept coming to me and so there are so many things I’m grateful for. I’m grateful for salvation and the finished work of Jesus Christ and my family.
Paula White 00:47:15-00:47:50 (35 sec)
And the list would go on and on but as I prayed, it was like the Holy Spirit just zoned me in and said, tell President Trump how thankful you are for him, and I think I’m – [Laughter; Inaudible] – and I felt like I was conveying the heart of God for all of us, that we are thankful for the greatest champion of faith that we’ve ever seen in a president and we honor you because of your bold, unwavering conviction and stand for religious liberty here in America and around the world and you recognize the power and the name of Jesus Christ.
Paula White 00:47:50-00:48:20 (29 sec)
I remember when we told our first briefing, you can now pray again and worship again. They begin to shout and praise and say, thank you, Lord, and sing in their highest ways. For your unwavering recognition that the strength of a nation is through Almighty God, and you have not backed away from any of this.
Paula White 00:48:20-00:48:37 (18 sec)
Thank you for allowing me to serve you, to serve people of faith and to serve the American people. I’ve heard many people take credit for you being here, or for some of your victories, and for being in the sacred office of the president but the truth of it is, is you’re here because of God and because of you.
Paula White 00:48:37-00:48:54 (17 sec)
And I just wanted to share this thought and pray over President Trump. Jesus taught us so many lessons through his death, burial, and resurrection. He showed us great leadership. Great transformation requires great sacrifice and, Mr. President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the price.
Paula White 00:48:54-00:49:16 (22 sec)
It almost cost you your life. You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It’s a familiar pattern that our lord and savior showed us, but it didn’t end there for him and it didn’t end there for you. God always had a plan. On the third day, he rose he defeated evil, he conquered death, hell, and the grave and because he rose, we all know that we can rise.
Paula White 00:49:16-00:49:44 (27 sec)
And, sir, because of his resurrection, you rose up because he was victorious, you were victorious and I believe that the Lord said to tell you this because of his victory, you will be victorious in all you put your hand to. Amen because God is with you and God is using you to defeat evil, to restore families, to awaken the church, to harvest the nations, and to bring a worldwide revival.
Paula White 00:49:44-00:50:29 (46 sec)
So I’m going to ask something would you all stand, and just if you’re comfortable, stretch your hand towards our President and even if – Reverend Graham, you’d like to lay hands on him and Pastor Robert and just come in agreement with me for second Chronicles 7:14 declares, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land.
Donald Trump 00:50:29-00:51:02 (33 sec)
So today we humble ourselves and we seek you, Lord Jesus. You declared in Proverbs 14:34 that it said, the righteousness exalts a nation so we declare righteousness over America, and that every decision that is upon President Trump’s shoulders, he will make them in your righteousness. We declare Psalm 32:12 that blessed is the nation whose God is lord.
Donald Trump 00:51:02-00:51:28 (25 sec)
So today we declare that America is blessed. As President Trump has decided to rededicate this nation on May 17th to you, oh, Lord. So we invoke your name, your power, your mercy, your grace. We pray James 1:5 over him, that you will always have the wisdom of God all the days of your life. I declare Psalm 91 over you that you will be satisfied with long life.
Donald Trump 00:51:28-00:51:51 (24 sec)
I declared that everything you touch, you will have the favor of God according to Luke 2:52, even as Jesus was favored with both God and man, so let it be with President Trump and I pray over his household and his family not only do we secure his life and his calling and his purpose, but that he will have generational blessing over his family, for generation after generation will call upon the name of the lord and be blessed.
Donald Trump 00:51:51-00:51:55 (4 sec)
We thank you for the gift that you gave us in our president, and everybody said amen.
Paula White 00:51:55-00:51:56 ( sec)
Thank you.
Franklin Graham 00:51:56-00:52:19 (24 sec)
Thank you. Let us pray. Father, you tell us in the book of Esther that the Persians, the Iranians were wanting to kill every Jew woman, child and do it all in one day but you raised up Esther to save the Jewish people. Father, we thank you. Today the Iranians, the wicked regime of the – of this government wants to kill every Jew and destroy them with an atomic fire.
Franklin Graham 00:52:19-00:52:42 (22 sec)
But you have raised up President Trump. You’ve raised him up for such a time as this and, Father, we pray that you’ll give him victory. Father, we pray for our military that you’d watch over and protect them. Father, we pray for the – the people of Iran who want freedom to be set free from these Islamic lunatics.
Franklin Graham 00:52:42-00:53:05 (23 sec)
Father, we thank you for your son, Jesus Christ, who came to this earth to take our sins, that he died and shed his blood on a cross for our sins, that he was buried he took our sins to the grave, but you raised him to life and, Father, we thank you and we praise you and we give you the glory. Father, protect President Trump.
Franklin Graham 00:53:05-00:53:15 (10 sec)
We pray this in Jesus’s name, amen.
Marilyn Rivera 00:53:15-00:53:28 (13 sec)
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for this beautiful day, and we thank you for everybody that’s here. We thank you for the joy of Easter that reminds us the hope – that hope is alive, that love is true, and that you are still working in our hearts. Lord, we thank you and we right now pause and think of Jesus sacrifice.
Marilyn Rivera 00:53:28-00:53:49 (20 sec)
And we thank you for his resurrection power that gives us a new beginning, fresh mercy, and an unshakable faith. Lord, I thank you for our president. Thank you that he acknowledges that we need faith, faith in our homes, faith in schools, at work, and our nation. Bless and protect them, God, and may all of us work and walk together in unity.
Marilyn Rivera 00:53:49-00:53:55 (7 sec)
May we show your way in everything that we do. May we reflect your goodness, your light, and your love, and we give you honor and praise. Amen.
Robert Barron 00:53:55-00:54:12 (16 sec)
And let us pray. Heavenly Father, almighty and eternal God, provident lord of history, we come before you today in an attitude of humble gratitude. We’re thankful, Lord, for this opportunity to be together in fellowship, for the faith that unites us and for the blessings of liberty that we enjoy as Americans.
Robert Barron 00:54:12-00:54:30 (18 sec)
We are grateful, above all, on this holiest week of the year for the gift of your son, Jesus Christ, who is the yes to all the promises made to Israel, who is the lamb standing as though slain, who is the Alpha and the omega, who is the lion of Judah, who is the desire of the everlasting hills, and who is the word made flesh and splendor of the father.
Robert Barron 00:54:30-00:54:59 (29 sec)
Father, you so loved the world that you sent your only son, that all who believe in him might not perish but might have eternal life. On Good Friday you sent him indeed to the very limits of God, forsakenness that he might gather back to you even those who had wandered furthest away. On the cross he took upon himself the sins of the world, injustice, cruelty, hatred, violence, betrayal, denial, that he might swallow them up in the ever greater divine mercy.
Robert Barron 00:54:59-00:55:17 (19 sec)
On Easter Sunday, Father, you raised him from death showing your victory over all the powers of darkness. Having met the risen Jesus, Saint Paul could therefore say I am certain that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither height nor depth, nor any other creature, can ever separate us from the love of God.
Robert Barron 00:55:17-00:55:23 (5 sec)
We bless you, Father, for you’ve given us the privilege of declaring the kingship of Christ to the world and calling all people to be subject to him.
Robert Barron 00:55:23-00:55:49 (26 sec)
And so, Lord, conform us to Christ, your son. Clothe us, we pray, with his compassion, his meekness, his love for the poor. And, Father, we ask you to bless our country make us prosperous and safe, but above all, make us morally upright and order our freedom toward your truth. Bless our troops, especially those who are most directly in harm’s way, protect them.
Robert Barron 00:55:49-00:56:16 (27 sec)
Make them righteous warriors. And finally, Father, bless our President give him the grace, the courage, the wisdom, and the prudence he needs to perform his duties according to your will. We say with gratitude that we are a nation under God. We acknowledge that in you we live and move and have our being.
Robert Barron 00:56:16-00:56:34 (18 sec)
We know that our freedom and our rights come from you. Continue therefore, Lord, to shed your grace on us and to hold us all in the palm of your hand. We pray through Christ our lord. Amen.
Unidentified 00:56:34-00:56:56 (22 sec)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Mr. President, I just came from Venezuela yesterday, and the fire of God’s holy spirit is being poured out over that country. I bear witness to you. I preached over 10,000 pastors in an arena, and the fire of God fell on that place I think in large part because the force of evil was displaced in that nation.
Unidentified 00:56:56-00:57:07 (11 sec)
Your leadership extends beyond what I think you know, because January 3rd was a pivotal moment for that nation and there is a fervor and an excitement and a zeal for God there because of the freedom that has been loosed in the country.
Paula White 00:57:07-00:57:07 ( sec)
Awesome.
Unidentified 00:57:07-00:57:27 (20 sec)
So that same fire that’s there, I’m going to ask that God would pour out that fire over us here in this nation. So join me as I pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for resurrection power. We thank you for the anointing of your holy spirit with authority that’s over this place and over this house and over this leader.
Unidentified 00:57:27-00:57:40 (13 sec)
We pray for an increase of the ministry of your holy spirit here in all of us, that the fire of your spirit would rest over us this season in a new way. In Jesus holy name, amen.
Ralph Reed 00:57:40-00:58:18 (38 sec)
Let’s pray. Father, what a great privilege and honor it is, what a blessing it is to be Americans, to be chosen to live in this place, in this time and what a special blessing, Lord, it is to be here in the White House, the home of our president, and celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and savior, the king of kings, Jesus Christ.
Ralph Reed 00:58:18-00:58:41 (23 sec)
What a blessing. What a blessing it is to have this man as the leader not only of our nation, but of the world. God thank you – thank you for causing him to turn his head at just the right moment. [Audience replies “Yes”]
Ralph Reed 00:58:41-00:59:35 (54 sec)
In July of 2024, in a field in Butler, Pennsylvania and spare his life by your hand. Thank you that just weeks later, you caused an agent to see the barrel of a rifle at his own golf club, Lord, and you spared his life again. Thank you, father, that you had mercy on our nation and gave him the victory in November of 2024. We don’t even want to think about where we’d be and I pray, God, that you would make him aware and cognizant in the deepest core of his being, that you spared his life, that you put him in this office and that you will give him victory and triumph in these battles that he is fighting.
Ralph Reed 00:59:35-01:00:07 (32 sec)
We pray particularly, Lord, that you would give him wisdom, knowledge, understanding and discernment of a heavenly origin in this battle with Iran. I pray that peace would come to the Middle East. I pray that the Jews and Israel would be safe I pray that this evil regime would be taken down, and they’d never be able to obtain the most dangerous weapons the world has ever known.
Ralph Reed 01:00:07-01:00:33 (26 sec)
And finally, Lord, we pray for the president and for this nation that the truth of the resurrection power of what Jesus did at Calvary would be a reality in their lives and in the life of our nation and it’s in his name and for his glory that we ask it amen amen.
Robert Jeffress 01:00:33-01:01:03 (30 sec)
I remember so well January of 2016, before one vote had been cast anywhere. I was flying around with then-businessman Donald Trump at different primaries, and we had just finished a Wendy’s cheeseburger he served on that plane and I said, Mr. President, I believe you’re going to be Mr. President. I said, Mr. Trump, I believe God has appointed you to be the next president of the United States.
Robert Jeffress 01:01:03-01:01:36 (33 sec)
And if that happens, it’s because he has a plan for you and for our country. He said, do you really believe that, Robert and I said, yes, sir, I do believe it and God brought this to happen. I mean, who would have ever thought – who would have ever thought that a billionaire real estate tycoon from New York City would usher in a spiritual revival in the United States of America?
Robert Jeffress 01:01:36-01:02:00 (24 sec)
So I want us to pray for him. Father, we thank you that you are a sovereign God. Your word says you are the one who selects kings and removes kings and in your plan, you have given us a great president not just once, but twice. Father, we – every one of us in this room, first of all, want to pray for President Trump.
Robert Jeffress 01:02:00-01:02:27 (27 sec)
We want to pray for his physical safety, for the safety of our First Lady, of Barron and all of the family, for Vice President Vance. Father, we pray that you would protect them from those who would do evil against them. We realize this is not just a political battle we’re in, it’s a spiritual battle, a battle between light and darkness, a battle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan.
Robert Jeffress 01:02:27-01:02:49 (22 sec)
And we know you’re going to prevail. And I just pray you would help us be an encouragement to this great president, that you would continue to use him in a mighty way and we focus on you, especially at this Easter time. Thank you for sending the one who came and died and rose again that we might have eternal life, Jesus our Lord.
Robert Jeffress 01:02:49-01:02:55 (6 sec)
It’s in his saving name that we pray. Amen.
Donald Trump 01:02:55-01:03:09 (13 sec)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody, very much. Thank you. Thank you very much.
