This proposed bill is an answer to prayers.

From Fox News. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., unveiled new legislation on Tuesday aimed at stopping Chinese corporations and entities linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from buying up U.S. farmland.

Find out when your state prays.

 

Hawley’s “This Land is Our Land Act” would force Beijing-backed businesses to divest their interest in U.S. agricultural land and prevent more from buying acreage. The senator is introducing it against the backdrop of bipartisan concern over China’s growing economic influence abroad, including in the United States.

“No Chinese corporation or individual associated with the CCP should be permitted to own American farmland. It undermines the integrity of our nation’s food supply chain, it presents national security threats when the land is in proximity to military installations, and it hurts American farmers,’ Hawley told Fox News Digital. …

No later than one year after the bill’s passage, Chinese entities with existing leases or stakes of interest would be forced to sign a “letter of intent” to signal that they will part from those assets, according to the bill text obtained first by Fox News Digital.

If they don’t divest within two years, they risk facing fines and criminal penalties – as well as the threat of asset forfeiture.

Nearly 1% of all foreign-owned U.S. agricultural land had been bought by China as of the end of 2021, according to a Congressional Research Service report released earlier this year – that’s roughly 383,935 acres. …

Dear Lord please give Sen. Hawley favor to safeguard American farmland from ownership by foreign interests. Let clarity and strength of mind be afforded the committee(s) that will review and approve the requirements, recommending them for bipartisan support. Let unity in purpose be seen as THE renewed ground Americans understand as vital to our nation and a strong global future. In God we DO trust.

This is a wonderful first step, but I believe there is a second facet to this that must addressed. Those who have inordinate wealth who, while they may be US citizens or foreign entities other than the CCP, must also be stopped from acquiring massive amounts of U.S. farm and grazing land. I hope Sen Hawkey and others will work on this threat as well.

I think we should all ask ourselves… ” Would China ever let an American own land in China ” ??? There is the answer to your question !!! China is not our friend ! They want to attack AMERICA by 2027 ? I believe that is the year that I read straight out of a message from the CCP to their own army and people ? They have been buying up land in Jamaica, and in the Bahama’s, my understanding is they have already built an air strip and/or an airport. They already own land in various states here in USA ! I already have grave concerns about our government looking the other way if/or when America will come under attack !!! I am 60 years old and I’m not able to fight ! I just want to be able to die a natural death !!! AMEN !

The Chinese buying of farmland reminds me of the famous statement by Lenin. When he said they would hang the capitalists and someone asked him where he would get all that rope, Lenin allegedly said, “They will sell it to us.”

While this is all good to do, the faux government on the left has sold our country to others in means of military tools and our finances. It has left us weak while they supply Ukraine and China. Blocking them from buying is a band aid on the wound, they created before the war they are planning hits US soil. China, Russia and Mexican cartels are running the show as it has been proven very lucrative to the traders of this country. I pray it’s not soon.

    Never mind the cartels, the CCP, and the Kremlin. The book of Revelation says that when God takes the Holy Spirit, and simultaneously the Church, out of the world, Satan himself will have world domination. But only so that he and his followers can experience war with the wrath of God. Not an enviable experience.

    True but we who are called.by his name can declare blessings and even justice over the land..Be involved somehow as we are in God’s image and seek to do his will unlike the wicked.. Evil has always existed..but greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. Even angles people have seen , many have noticed have swords to fight over the evil ones. Light dispells darkness , so we.musr dispell it with truth and justice ..prayers 🕊️ blessings to all , because God will prevails but we must be strong and make a difference. This world is not our forever home, it’s where we make choices and fight invisible forces.

      This is it -you’ve got it exactly!!
      In Luke 17 we are told to occupy. As we are in the throes of being assaulted-, in our country.. which is basically the same as being assaulted in our homes or our residences.. we are faced-,as we have seen ..with the unenviable awareness-, and tasked, to come to order and fall in line.. much as the Minutemen did- in a very short period of time… all the while having forced upon us the realization that we were ling ago lulled into a false sense of peace..by world forces that have long polluted our government from the inside..going back way way before the term “decades” was used to describe repeatedly the times of recent events -,as that term has been so overused. Having said that.. all of our brothers and sisters here.. intercessors of every age and calling in life-,have given themselves to the task of prayer.. a daunting task and a privilege at the same time. I am grateful for these brothers and sisters..though as we are called to stand in the Gap and occupy.. this entails not just prayer but all of the things we have heard so much about being involved in.. local ordinance making.. and local government as best we can.. and for some of us it means we are only equipped to pray.. as to where we are in our lives.. that is okay..it is an equal blessing.. this legislation by Senator Hawley is only the latest we have seen in a turn of events where municipalities, City councils- and various governance across the country-, from the smallest berg or village to the largest city, – there have been reports of the conscience that the God that we serve has instilled in all of us-, is rising up and responding to the nudging of the Holy Spirit..to call out the evil in bills that are written and movements that are forged..as this nation has responded to the revival that is swelling up and will continue to grow.. so any and all efforts are good.
      I know for one I struggle greatly with self-pity and wanting to give up-, and hearing and reading of all of these prayers and efforts on the part of my brothers and sisters is greatly encouraging.. so let us not grow weary in well doing-,for the Lord has witten He will never leave us nor forsake us.. cause we know his thoughts are. higher than our thoughts.. and his ways are higher than our ways-. so let us forge on in prayer-. because it is obviously having an effect..let us not find fault with the legislators who are out on the front lines, risking their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor- and yes even possibly their personal health and safety- given the evil that is at the root of the enemy of our nation.. the globalists.
      Lord I Thank you for sending your Josh Holly being a servant that is obedient to your guidance and sensitive to your leading Lord as he is an example of the presence of your leading and glory Lord and I pray for your sense of purpose to continue in his life and it will continue to be a witness of your glory in his work Lord that all who see him Lord will be influenced to repent Lord and their Consciousness will be greatly convicted to respond especially in this time of bipartisan acknowledgment of the need for this as stated in this article
      Lord I pray to protect Senator Hawley-, his colleagues their families.. Senator Hawley’s family and children- and the ground they walk on at the capital ..and in Congress-,Lord and in their daily work-that your guardian angels would be their ..guarding them- that and those that who would conduct evil ..Lord would be convicted to repent by the power of your Holy Spirit Lord-,
      In the mighty name of Jesus…Amen

Not only prevent them from buying our precious farmland, but buy back all the miles of lands they have already purchased! And go even further–prevent people from other countries owning our supermarkets!

I think the bill is okay. I am praying they will find a faster and less accommodating bill to quickly divest China of owning anything in this country.

Acts 7:9-10….but God was with him and rescued him out of all his troubles. He gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler over Egypt and over his whole household.

Psalm 123:3-4 Show us favor, LORD, show us favor, for we’ve had more than enough contempt. We’ve had more than enough scorn from the arrogant and contempt from the proud.

Dear Heavenly Father, I am praying Your favor will guard Josh Hawley and this legislation. May it receive overwhelming support and may this just be the beginning of so much MORE. I am so weary of the enemy’s arrogance and contempt. Please Lord, give this man favor and wisdom in the sight of the entire senate…and beyond. I ask this in Name of Jesus Christ, who is Josh Hawley’s Savior and mine. Amen
