I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray for wisdom for our leaders as they address issues of security, immigration, and religious freedom. Protect our nation from extremism and deception, and help America remain grounded in truth, justice, and Your principles.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

As concerns over national security, immigration, and cultural influence continue to grow, several Republican-led states are advancing legislation aimed at limiting the influence of radical Islamic ideology in local governance and public life. These efforts are encouraging to see, as well as absolutely necessary to protect constitutional freedoms and preserve America’s foundational values.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

 

From Just the News:

As President Donald Trump’s second term produces immigration policies, deportations and cultural shifts toward a more concentrated citizen population, red states are passing their own legislation and running candidates focused on thwarting Islamic community developments and reducing their influence.

“This is a major offensive in North Texas right now that I don’t understand, but we are pushing back hard. We’ve got several organizations that are helping us. The governor is doing his part now, so I’m pretty optimistic that people are waking up to the dangers of Sharia in North Texas,” Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told Just The News.

Gov. Greg Abbott moved Tuesday to block a planned Eid al-Adha celebration at the taxpayer-funded Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Grand Prairie. He threatened to withhold $530,000 in state public-safety grants unless the city canceled the event, which was initially advertised as open to “Muslims only.”

The article highlights efforts underway in states such as Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arkansas to prevent the implementation or influence of foreign religious law in state courts and public institutions. In Texas, lawmakers have reportedly formed “Sharia-Free” caucuses, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed legislation strengthening restrictions on foreign and religious legal influence in state matters.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma lawmakers reportedly “advanced a constitutional amendment to bar courts and municipalities from applying any foreign or religious law undermining the U.S. or state constitutions,” directly combatting Islamic Sharia law. Likewise, in Mississippi, lawmakers reportedly “debated bills barring the application of foreign and religious laws in courts.” According to Just the News, this builds on a “decade-long trend” following states like Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arizona, Kansas, North Caroline, and South Dakota, all of which have adopted their own anti-foreign law measures.

Supporters of these measures argue they are intended to preserve constitutional protections and prevent parallel legal systems from emerging within the United States. And to be sure, they are necessary to combat Islam, which some have called the greatest threat to our freedom. Islamic Sharia law is incompatible with the Constitution and has no place in the U.S.

Let’s pray for these states as they stand boldly against Islam!

I pray that the ones of our Presidents, Governors, and officials be opened to truth and protect the United States of America. I pray that all our officials would turn their hearts to Abba Father so that He can direct their path. If we ever needed the Lord, we have always needed Him even so much more today. We already have a constitution and we certainly do not need another one. As Americans, we don’t need the ideas of Islam.

Every state in our union should be banning Sharia Law where ever it is trying to seep into our Constitutional Republic!!!
Islamists with their Sharia law want to dominate our country. It is not compatible with our Constitution PERIOD!!!!!!! Cry out to God to help us annihilate SHARIA in the U.S. of America. I agree with Brian’s comments below. Evict every infidel foreigner who wants to try to strong arm us into accepting a FOREIGN GOD!!!! We know who our God is and it is not Allah!

It is vert simple- anyone who is promoting or trying to impose Sharia Law in America needs to be deported, U.S. citizen or not. They are a national security threat. We cannot afford to have them living in our nation.

The spirit has reviled to me that Islam with the backing of Communism will attempt to take over the US in 2050. And if the US and his Church are ready, Islam will cease to exist. But if we are not ready, we will be enslaved. As will be all those who rely on us to protect them.
Lord God, show us what must be done to be prepared. Give us your strength and wisdom to be ready, that we stand in your word, truth and righteousness. All power, honor, and glory to almighty God, forever and ever.

During my third deployment to Afghanistan I was assigned to a Joint Operation Center with American, Afghani, and Pakistani personnel. In the evenings we would often gather and share personal stories. On one occasion I was asked if I had ever considered becoming a Muslim, to which I respectfully replied no. When asked why I was reminded by Holy Spirit about the origins and history of Islam and recognized this was a “Kiros Moment” (Gr for opportune, fitting, or decisive moment).

In context, I had a full white beard and was easily twice as old as most of the Muslims present, and they knew I was a “Person of The Book” (Bible). Muslims respect white beards, age, experience, and genuine commitment to faith, even if it is not Islam. So, I gave my reasons why I had never considered becoming a Muslim…

I said that Islam was 600 years too late and that they had been copying everything Christians had – except one thing; that our grave was empty and theirs occupied. Then I went on to point out that Christ lives within us and is not just a distant Historical Figure, that their ablution pool is our baptismal, their mihrab is our pulpit, and their minaret is our church steeple. Also, they are commanded to pray five times a day, but we are commanded to pray without ceasing.

The result? There was a hush among the thirty or so gathered as they processed what I had said.. Then a Pakistani called me an infidel – but added that it was with a small “i’ which is a cultural statement of humorous acceptance and respect. I had “run the gauntlet and passed”. Later, I was invited to view but not enter a mosque service. I stood just outside the entry in stocking. feet, sandals removed, and prayed in the Spirit as they proceeded. Some time after that I was asked to be a guest speaker at an American Prayer Breakfast. I invited the Muslims. And, while speaking about the life of Joseph I urged all present to give their lives to Christ.

There was no formal altar call. And, the Pakistani who challenged me about Islam was present. A few days later the Forward Operating Base Chaplain told me that two dozen American Personnel had given their lives to The Lord and another two dozen had rededicated themselves. There was no known response by any Muslims at that time.

A month lated the Pakistani’s time at the base was over. We had become friends, so I walked him to the main gate. Along the way he said he would “investigate Who this Jesus was and asked me to pray for him. I did then and am still doing it now, 25 years later.

I wrote this to convey that not all Muslims are a threat, though the radical ones may be. As a Christian and a combat vet I know the difference. And America? We were founded on Christian Principles, are about to be rededicated on May 17th (this coming Sunday), and Will Be Saved and Transformed as a nation.

Holy Spirit is our Helper.

Praise Jesus! Greater is He that is in me/ Christians than he that is in the world! Father, please open the eyes of our American leaders to see Your truth and give them the strength and courage and wisdom to put laws in place to ban sharia and protect our Christian values and the American constitution.
We ask this in Jesus’s Name and believe we receive it from you!
All glory to you Father God!
Amen!!!

That is good news to hear that states are being proactive in stopping courts from even hearing arguments referring to laws outside of the US and state constitutions. I wondering what the demoncrat run states are doing. There can not be states supporting outside influence and if they are they need to be drug into court. A house divided can not stand and if some states are allowing unconstitutional laws then the USA will fail. I pray that God protect us from and expose all evil attempts by satan. I trust in God.

Please pray that this hanta virus fake narrative will be dismantled, pulverized to dust(Isaiah 30:14), & burned down to the ground as dead seed bearing no fruit, as it happened with monkey virus & all these other viruses that they’re creating to bring back lockdowns, shut our schools, force vaccines, etc.

Not only incompatible with Constitution and American Law and Americanism, but also incompatible with Biblical doctrine and worldview.

Father, I give You thanks for those states that are now very aware of the global plan of Sharia Law and Islamists. Wake up all the citizens in every state in this nation to make them aware of this threat to take over our Republic. Lord, as we citizens move to protect the laws of this nation and this Republic, let us Christians do our job: spread the gospel among Muslims. Some will hear the good news and be saved. You sent them to our nation for this purpose. In Jesus’ Name, I declare and decree that the Constitution of the United States shall stand firm, that Sharia Law will have no place in our society. And, Lord, save Abraham’s seed. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
