I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we ask You to guide the Trump administration as it seeks to hold universities like Harvard to a higher standard. We pray that antisemitism would have no place on our nation's campuses!
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Earlier this week, the Trump administration froze millions in federal grants and funding to Harvard University, and the President even instructed the IRS to revoke the school’s tax-exempt status. All of this is due to antisemitism, a poisonous ideology that the administration claims Harvard allowed to flourish on its campus.

From Fox News. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) SecretaryĀ Kristi NoemĀ canceled $2.7 million in DHS grants to Harvard University on Wednesday.

Post a prayer for your state!

 

In a statement, Noem announced the cancelation of two grants for the university, and declared the elite Massachusetts Ivy League institution “unfit to be entrusted with taxpayer dollars.”

The university has been ordered to submit records by April 30, or risk losing its certification to enroll international students under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP).

“With anti-American, pro-Hamas ideology poisoning its campus and classrooms, Harvard’s position as a topĀ institution of higher learning is a distant memory,” Noem said in the statement. “America demands more from universities entrusted with taxpayer dollars.” …

The canceled grants include an $800,303 “Implementation Science for Targeted Violence Prevention” award, which DHS says classified conservatives as far-right extremists, and a $1,934,902 “Blue Campaign Program Evaluation and Violence Advisement” grant, which funded public health messaging that Noem’s office described as ideologically skewed.

The move followsĀ President Donald Trump‘s decision to freeze $2.2 billion in federal funding to Harvard and ask for the IRS to revoke itsĀ tax-exempt status.

The IRS is currently reviewing the university’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit designation, according to sources within theĀ Department of Justice (DOJ). A final decision has not yet been made. …

The DHS action comes amid a broader federal crackdown on campus antisemitism following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.

In the months since, Harvard has faced criticism overĀ antisemitic rhetoric and protests involving students and faculty. Noem’s letter references “foreign visa-holding rioters” and calls for Harvard to provide documentation of their conduct. …

Harvard and nearly all the Ivy League Colleges were founded to train Christian Ministers to learn, proclaim and teach the Bible! May God raise up His people who reject Greek ā€œgods ā€œ and Greek humanism and reclaim that essential purpose . Zechariah 9.13… ā€œWhen I have bent Judah for me, and filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons , O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.ā€

There is nothing wrong with expecting appropriate behavior from a highly esteemed university such as Harvard. Tying government funding to the school because of antisemitism is extremely appropriate and necessary. WHERE did these liberal administrators EVER get the idea that fostering antisemitism at their school is acceptable behavior? What kind of example are they setting for their students ? Lord Jesus, by Your grace and mercy, make a way for this horrible belief system to fail miserably in our nation. Thank You Jesus.

Theses two groups – “Implementation Science for Targeted Violence Prevention” and “BLUE Campaign Program Evaluation and Violence Advisement” — how clever these names they conjure up to look like a worthy cause. Behind it is all kinds of actors and wasted money. Lord reveal and expose all things hidden that aid the enemy to harm your people.

ā€œThose who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse her will be cursedā€ , Israel is made up of people, just as America is. God calls us to Love one another. Let’s put LOVE into practice.

It’s about time these universities are held accountable for their racism. And that exactly what it is: racism against the jews. Lord, we ask that You’d keep this type of thinking off of our campuses.

    The new Harvard President has held these protesters ā€˜feet to the fire’ and not allowed anti-semitism, unfortunately former President Gay did not make such wise choices.

We all need food in our bellies and love in our family’s . Most religions say to love one another, and those that don’t are not religions, but gangs. I believe Canada hit it on the head when I heard jihad that kill people Was not welcome . If you are forced to join something it’s a gang.

Dearest Heavenly Father: As the devil roars about wanting us to believe that this world and all things are spiraling out of control, we know the devil is a LIAR. We stand on your word knowing that YOU alone are in control and have a plan for each of us. Your word states that YOUR will, WILL be done on earth as it is in heaven so we reverently pray that over our lives, homes, families, nation and this World. We proclaim and hold fast the confession of our faith, for we KNOW with all certainty that you, who promised, are FAITHFUL. We continue to pray your divine will over every person, place, and situation that presents itself. We boldly and courageously stand on your word praying for your perfect will, knowing that your will for us is ALWAYS good. To YOU be all Glory, Honor, Power, and Praise for you alone are worthy to be praised. In the Mighty Name of Jesus we pray, thanking you Father for every answered prayer.
