I Prayed have prayed
Father, show us how to intercede strategically and effectively about corporations that are opposing legal protections against transgender medical treatments for kids. May no plan of the enemy prevail.

Companies that do business in Texas have signed a statement opposing two bills that would ban boys who identify as female from competing in girls’ sports and ban the use of experimental puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and the genital mutilation of minors suffering from gender dysphoria.

Forty-three companies have deemed the bills as “divisive” and signed a statement advocating for trans-identified athletes to compete in girls’ sports and for minors to be able to obtain elective cosmetic surgeries such as double mastectomies, phalloplasties and orchiectomies (testicle removal).

“We are concerned to see a resurgence of efforts to exclude transgender youth from full participation in their communities, to criminalize or ban best-practice medical care that is proven to save lives, or to exclude LGBTQ people in a variety of other settings, including accessing healthcare, filling a prescription, or seeking legal representation,” reads the statement posted on the website Texas Competes, an LGBT advocacy organization.

Signatories to the statement include Amazon, American Airlines, Apple, Dell Technologies, Dow, Facebook, IBM, Levi Strauss & Co, Microsoft, PayPal and United Airlines. . . .

The statement, signed by the 43 businesses on April 19, comes as Texas lawmakers seek to advance SB 29, which would require “public school students to compete in interscholastic athletic competitions based on biological sex.” The Texas Senate has already passed the bill. The legislation is now under consideration in the state’s House of Representatives.

Texas lawmakers are also working to pass SB 1646, which would amend “the definition of abuse of a child” to include “administering or supplying, or consenting to or assisting in the administering or supplying of, a puberty suppression prescription drug or cross-sex hormone to a child, other than an intersex child, for the purpose of gender transitioning or gender reassignment.”  . . .

The companies also expressed support for “the inclusion of LGBTQ people in nondiscrimination laws, including policy that would update Texas’ nondiscrimination laws to include LGBTQ people.”

Eighty-six companies based across the United States (including some that are listed in the Texas Competes statement) have signed onto a separate yet similar statement crafted by the LGBT activist organizations Human Rights Campaign and the Freedom for All Americans Education Fund.

The statement, titled “Business Statement on Anti-LGBTQ Legislation,” expressed deep concern over “the bills being introduced in statehouses across the country that single out LGBTQ individuals — many specifically targeting transgender youth — for exclusion or differential treatment.” . . .

Signatories include Adobe, Airbnb, Amazon, American Airlines, Apple, AT&T, Bayer, Ben & Jerry’s, Capital One, Dell, Dow, Dropbox, Facebook, Gap, GoDaddy, Google, Hilton, IKEA, Levi Strauss & Co, Marriott, Microsoft, Nike, Oracle, Patreon, PayPal, PepsiCo, Peloton, Pfizer, T-Mobile, Twitter, Uber, Verizon, Wells Fargo and Zillow.

So far this year, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee have enacted legislation banning biological males who identify as female from competing in girls’ sports. Additional bills are under consideration in more than two dozen states.

The Arkansas state Legislature recently passed a bill that would ban minors younger than 18 from being prescribed experimental puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and having genital mutilation surgeries. Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who was expected to sign the bill into law, actually vetoed it. Lawmakers later overrode Hutchinson’s veto. The Alabama state legislature approved similar legislation last month but it has yet to be signed into law by the governor.

Why do you think corporations are so much in favor of transgender children?

Many leaders of corporations are lost people living in the dominion of darkness, (Col. 1-13). This dominion is ruled by forces of darkness, demonic hosts. I believe the spirit of tyranny has gained much control and is the head of a network of demonic forces that ultimately is working to fundamentally transform America to a tyrannical nation. Tyranny enslaves its citizens. The influence to push the transgender platform is strong, because it is a powerful force of evil to enslave the innocent and eventually destroy the lives of those who pursue it. I have seen the destruction and sorrow this ideology brings to a families. It is truly heartbreaking. It also demonstrates rebellion against God, who created man and woman, with no mistakes! Corporations are also influenced by the media, which has become a powerful force in our nation used to deceive the American people. When these false ideologies are pushed by the media, they jump on board in full support of the deception. The enemy is cunning and knows what alliances are necessary for him to further his agenda. This “reprogramming” of our nation is progressing at an alarming rate because now our 3 branches of government are run by people who are in full support of many tyrannical ideologies. When tyranny increases, freedom decreases.
The good news is that the Kingdom of God, ushered in by Jesus, and preached by him, is also here on earth to counter the dominion of darkness. We are Kings and Priests of this Heavenly Kingdom, and as citizens have access to all its resources. As the darkness grows around us He will give us peace and joy. His yoke is light. Eventually the Kingdom of God will take over the dominion of darkness. It is our role to never give up and stand strong. I believe as darkness increases around us, His power can increase in us as we submit to Him.

Father, I pray this false ideology of Transgenderism be stopped in our nation. I bind the demonic forces being used to form alliances with media, government, and the business world. Reek havoc on this network of evil. Destroy the influence of these entities on one another. Protect the innocent children that are subject to the propaganda put forth by misled organizations. Dry up funding for these groups that promote these destructive falsehoods. Open the eyes of the American people to see the truth. I pray for financial support for all groups opposing this attack on our young. I pray for strength for all that are working to change laws to protect people from this evil.
