I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray that you would cut off the funding for this group that is spreading Marxism and division in our nation and give it to more worthy groups that are working on racial reconciliation. Do not let them divide us any longer. Bring us together in unity, love, and healing.

Amazon is one of the first companies to move away from Black Lives Matter, the group with Marxist leadership that spurred on riots across the country in 2020. BLM received major corporate support after the tragic death of George Floyd, but now that the group has been exposed, maybe that will change.

From Fox News: Amazon’s charity website has suspended the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) amid questions about the group’s financial transparency.

AmazonSmile, which donates 0.5% from purchases to designated nonprofits, still lists dozens of local Black Lives Matter (BLM) chapters among its thousands of approved charities, but noticeably absent is the BLMGNF, the national arm of the BLM movement. 

“We offer the AmazonSmile program to make it easy for our customers to support their favorite charitable organizations, and we work to offer a broad spectrum of organizations, including those working to end racial injustice,” an Amazon spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “States have rules for nonprofits, and organizations participating in AmazonSmile need to meet those rules. Unfortunately this organization fell out of compliance with the rules in several states, so we’ve had to temporarily suspend them from the program until they come into compliance…

The news comes after BLMGNF shut down all of its online fundraising earlier this month following demands by attorneys general in California and Washington state that it submit delinquent financial disclosures for 2020, the Examiner reported.

“We take these matters seriously and have taken immediate action,” a BLMGNF spokesperson told FOX Business on Feb. 3. “We have immediately engaged compliance counsel to address any issues related to state fundraising compliance. In the interim, we have shut down online fundraising as we work quickly to ensure we are meeting all compliance requirements…”

At the end of 2020, Black Lives Matter said in an impact report that it raised $90 million, spent $8.4 million in operating expenses, distributed $21.7 million in grants to 33 other organizations, and closed the year with a $60 million balance. An investigation conducted by the Examiner found that BLM has not publicly named anyone in charge of the roughly $60 million bankroll since its co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, resigned in May 2021.

Father in heaven, thank you that you are answering our prayers about BLM.
Praise you that they are finally being asked about all the funds being raised. May they be accountable for every last dime that has been donated. May those that broke the law be brought to justice. Some have quit after acquiring multi million dollar homes. May they not be forgotten when justice is sought. May corporate America follow the lead of Amazon and question this groups financial. May the boards of these companies and the executives who are agreeing to invest in this radical group be given pause. Open the eyes of their hearts Lord, for we ask this in the name of Jesus.

Surprising but encouraging! A good sign.

Sadly, Amazon only shut this down because BLMGNF didn’t meet certain financial disclosure requirements, not because what they stand for is so objectionable. But at least, they are temporarily blocked from fundraising.

Let’s pray that Amazon will awaken and become morally responsible.

Thank you, Father, for what Amazon has done. I pray for this organization and the people involved. Change their hearts. Draw them to you. Shut down the wickedness of destruction that wants to destroy our nation. May their goals be announced from the housetops so that people will see what they really stand for. May your people continue to pray and declare your righteousness and unity over our nation.

Ephesisans 5:10-12 Test and prove what pleases the Lord. Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
Hebrews 12:1-3
Dear Abba Father, I pray You will continue to expose all of the fruitless deeds of darkness. I ask that their schemes be brought to light. I also pray Your righteous judgment on BLM, Planned Parenthood, the wretched research “businesses” defiling babies, doctors performing abortions, drug cartels, human traffickers, big money people funding wickedness, lawlessness…..we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, help us throw off every encumbrance and sin that entangles. Help us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at Your right hand. Help us Lord, to consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that we will not grow weary and lose heart. We are depending on You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen

I am very pleased to hear that Amazon has suspended BLM. This organization, not the movement, have caused more pain and heartache to our country and it’s about time organizations begin to distance themselves from them, and do it publicly.

    The organization and the movement are identical! Their goal is to gain political and financial power through chaos! They are trained marxists and community organizers and could care less about black people! If they did, they would decry black on black crime and murders! They would also care about all aspect of life in black communities which they do not! Don’t be deceived with their name blm! Dr. King fought for civil rights for blacks and all Americans, recognizing that if one of us is in bondage, we are all in bondage! Blm wants the overthrow of the American way of life! Patrice Cullors helped organize this demonic group, worshipping dead ancestors and being a homosexual marxist! GOD tells us to watch who we support lest we become a partaker of that person or group’s evil deeds! FATHER GOD please continue to expose all the demonic and secret workings of blm and antifa that has done so much damage in America! Please protect Americans from ignorance about these groups and their organizers in JESUS NAME! Amen!

BLM is a reflection of slavery in the USA. African tribes sold African tribes to slave traffickers for profit.
When people are not told the truth they believe what their ears itch to hear, as is the case BLM, as was the case when ancient Israel, England and Rome kept God’s word away from the people and instead loaded them down with man made laws they themselves could not follow.

Father, cause the scales to fall off blind eyes that the deceived would see and the deceitful would be crushed under the burdens they put on ignorant minds.
