I know I will get a lot of grief from the ecumenists out there and those who want to look past the clear teaching of scripture but our jobs as believers is to reprove and admonish whenever the need arises.
Well the need is continuous lately and so it must be done here.
Today the 45th President of the USA will be sworn in.
Many are excited about all the prayers that will be done at the ceremony. They are boasting that there will be more religious leaders praying at this inauguration than any that came before.
The word of God specifically states that God does not hear the prayers of the non-believers. What is happening is this offering up of prayer sacrifice will essentially not be heard by God. I would submit that since we know that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump then essentially the prayers on this day will likely go unheard.
There are plenty scriptures that speak directly to this:
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 1 Corinthians 5:6
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. John 9:31
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer [shall be] abomination. Proverbs 28:9
The LORD [is] far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. Proverbs 15:29
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me]… Psalms 66:18
For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil. 1 Peter 3:12
Isaiah 59:2 - But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear.
Here is the announcement and a shortened list regarding who will be praying today. I only called out those who are obviously not born again believers based on what we know of their religions and what the Word of God says. Some may argue about Paula White and I may be wrong about her but regardless of her salvation status she is direct disobedience to God. That is not my opinion but God’s. Scripture is provided below as well that talks to all of this.

Timothy M. Dolan – Catholic (see Matthew 23:9, etc.)
Pastor? Paula White (see 1 Timothy 2:12)
Rabbi Marvin Hier – Non-Christian Rabbi (see Matthew 23:8, 1 John 4:2-3)
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1 Timothy 2:12
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. Matthew 23:8
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 23:9
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 1 John 4:2-3
I do not have the time to research the teachings of the others that will be praying on this day but just from what is listed and cited above there is no doubt that God continues to grieve over our country and our churches refusing to obey Him and that they do not take His word seriously, out of fear and trembling, as they ought to.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:31
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
