I Prayed have prayed
Father, we pray for the youth of our country struggling with gender dysphoria. Save them from teachers who wish to manipulate them into doubting their gender, Lord, and give them the help they need.
Reading Time: 3 minutes

By providing clothes to youth who believe they are transgender, teachers a driving a wedge between children and their parents and promoting a lie about identity. This is a direct attack on biblical personhood and the family. Intercessors, we are in a war and your prayers are the weapons needed to defeat this giant and save the nation’s children.

From The Epoch Times. They started in colleges, but trans closets—rooms stocked with transgender clothes and accessories for students to change into after arriving to school and back out of before going home—are being discovered in public schools with some indication they are being kept a secret from parents.

In a recent TikTok video, a California teacher implies that the trans closet he started at the high school where he works is meant to be kept from parents.

“The goal of the transition closet is for our students to wear the clothes that their parents approve of, come to school and then swap out into the clothes that fit who they truly are,” the teacher said….

“This is [an] example of the deceit schools are deliberately using to carry out a growing transgender movement in public schools behind the backs of parents,” the Christian conservative group California Family Council wrote on its website.

“In addition to gender ideology madness, this school is teaching children that it is acceptable to defy their parents.”

California Family Council first discovered the trans closet through a Facebook posting by a nonprofit group that calls itself “The Transition Closet.”

On its Facebook page, The Transition Closet states it is working with one of the district’s high schools to create a trans closet—posting “we are extremely excited to begin our journey in working with Fremont High School of Oakland, California, along with our favorite teacher of TikTok/@justaqueerteacher.”

Amare Roush, founder of The Transition Closet, told The Epoch Times that her organization does support keeping the existence of trans closets at schools secret from parents, because of the abuse she says children often face at home if they disclose to their parents they are transgender….

Another trans closet being operated out of the Denver Conservatory Green Middle School in Colorado was also recently posted about on social media.

The Twitter post ignited a flurry of messages slamming the school for encouraging transgenderism among students as young as 12 years old….

On its website, The Transition Closet states that “the near future holds transition closet[s] and services throughout the school district for students of the Trans/Nonbinary/Intersex and additional LGBTQIA+ community members.”

Roush said her organization is working with other schools in the United States to start trans closets and her organization currently runs them at several churches including Lutheran, Episcopalian, and Methodist churches.

For the California school trans closet, the Arkansas-based group also includes contact information linked to the website validbybrodie.com, which includes a “start your own closet” section for students, teachers, and school administrators….

It also sells transgender workbooks for teens and runs online name change clinics….

Marshall University, the University of Arkansas, Penn State, and the University of California are among colleges that have been operating trans closets for years.

There is a WAR against our children in our country today. It has been evolving since the removal of God and the 10 commandments from the schools in the 60’s and now has reached dangerous levels. The schools are teaching indoctrination and education is declining.

True gender dysphoria is an exceedingly rare phenomenon. This is being marketed to our youth by the same folks who also brought us CRT. They’re being taught that this is bigger than it is, and that it’s cool to be something other than “cis.” Glenn Beck just had a special where he named some of the billionaire perverts who are behind all this. There is no big movement behind this, it’s all marketing by a small handful of radicals and their wealthy patrons. Lord, it’s not going to be comfortable if you have to destroy this nation’s wealth to stop them, but if that’s the only way, your will be done. Protect us your faithful in the process and give us the wisdom of Joseph on how to ride this out.

Lord help us, protect the children especially!
Lord forgive us and our forefathers for not being salty, for only sometimes speaking the truth and not speaking truth with Your kind, courageous love, at least not consistently.
ThankYou for Your promise to give wisdom when we ask and we are so asking for Your wisdom to prevail!
By Your Blood Lord Jesus bind the enemy, let the lies be exposed, by kids themselves and loose Your Holy Spirit over the younger generations all over our country, even to all the world, to have love for You, great Maker and Master, love for others and real, authentic respectful, honoring love for themselves, as they are!
Oh Lord, help us adults to cooperate with You in this good fight for the souls of our young people.

Lord, I pray for a revival in our youth that stands up against this trans religion. Help our youth to know who they are in Jesus. I pray they will truly know that God made them male and female and that He has a destiny for them. I pray my granddaughter returns to the women God made her to be. I pray she and others know that God made them enough.

Father, Keep me from driving to Arkansas, California or wherever satan has these closets, so I won’ t damn my soul by burning them to the ground.Forgive my inattention that let MY son’s teachers convince HIM that this was normal..
Forgive his California friends who cemented the lie he believed..I pray the ‘ enuched for Christ’ that St Andrew wrote of applies to him.
Lastly, restore his flesh where the surgeons in Burlington, Vt neutered him.
In Jesus’s matchless Name, i pray .

Make sure you’re aware of your state’s parental rights, like on parentalrights.org

Schools do NOT have the right to subvert parents rights, including their religious rights. Doing so oversteps their duties.

I pray that more parents come together, and create their own homeschool groups/co-ops, where they pool resources to give their kids the biblical principals they uphold, and by doing so, this allows them to get tax credits/write-offs, for their support of the organization (consult with a tax pro, as this isn’t professional advise)! Only when we, God’s people, stand up, together, do we let the enemy and his minions know that they have no place in our lives.

Father God, we need an outpouring of your SPIRIT of Truth to combat the father of lies who is stealing our kids’ identity and sexuality..kids made in Your Image: Male and Female. Father, I confess the apathy of so many churches in the past years, reluctance to ‘get involved’ in politics..the Polis is our CITY…and our schools have stepped into the gap, becoming indoctrination stations. Father particularly I pray for those churches who are operating in their apostasy, encouraging trans, LGBTQI+ and abandoning your WORD as their authority. Holy Spirit convince each of us, our churches for prayerlessness and fear to speak Your TRUTH in LOVE to those who are confused and uncertain where or how they fit. Help us O GOD.

    Parents need to become aware and Step in to our roles as Quick to listen and Slow to anger, slow to speak… we need to learn how to love those who are confused, not just tell them they are Wrong or Sinful… what is the emotional need that has not been met? What are the influences among peers that cause confusion? How do we PRAY for deep inner healing. Parents we need to learn to LOVE as Jesus loved, accepting yet not compromising. Come Follow ME and Sin no more..salvation and Transformation from Sinner to Saved… help us o GOD

    Well put. These poor children. They’ll never get the psychiatric help, or deliverance, they need in this awful political-social climate. I pray for this generation nearly every day; they are under such relentless demonic attack. And in the schools, yet! Who would have ever thought such a thing?

Father God we pray that You would expose what is taking place in darkness. Lord, help parents to discover what is happening to their children without their knowledge or consent. Father I pray You would continue to expose these dark deeds. I pray they would be exposed in every school building in America. I pray that You would open the eyes of ALL parents & taxpayers to this evil. And I pray that those teachers & administrators that are promoting this evil would be prosecuted as groomers. In Jesus name.

O Father, Creator of mankind; man and a woman in Your image, oh how depraved we have become all because of SIN!
May our hearts, minds, and spirit repent and return to Your holiness and righteousness; by the power and indwelling of Your Holy Spirit.
We come to your throne to ask that You would protect these young people and children from the deceptive and false “closets” You Love these children, You created them to live into their potential of Your plans and purposes. You are Greater and Mightier than he that is blinding them, pour out Your Truth and Love!
Wake up parents to these falsehoods, shutdown by voices for justice, those who promote sinful and perverse ideas.
In Jesus Name,
Amen.

What a rotten trick those teachers are pulling, I’m assuming with the approval of the principal and Superintendent of Schools? Parents need to be spending more time with their own children and teach them when something is said that has to remain a secret it’s because it isn’t true or good. Assure the parents that Luke 8:17 tells us “For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid that shall not be known.” The parent needs to maintain a strong relationship, so this sneaking around doesn’t survive their conscience.

Aiding the devil once again. Who wields ultimate control over the education of the child? Through public schooling, a state-approved education from a state-approved schoolteacher using state-approved textbooks and following a state-approved curriculum, children are effectively made the property of the state.
The “dysphoria” exists, because the leftist institutions want dysphoria to exist.
Dysphoria is a state of unease or generalized dissatisfaction with life. Who are the ones producing this generalized dissatisfaction? It IS the institutions of academia themselves. So why are these so-called “educators” doing things in SECRET ?
Several decades ago, a man in Utah, John Singer, paid the ultimate price for resisting the idea that children are the property of the state. Long before homeschooling became legal, Singer refused to permit his children to be subjected to the aberrant environment of public schooling and became one of the first homeschoolers in the nation.
The state ordered Singer to surrender his children to the public-school authorities so that they could receive a proper education, but he refused, believing that his children belonged to him, not the state.
One day, state law-enforcement officers “SECRETLY” surrounded Singer’s home and shot him dead as he went to his mailbox to retrieve his mail. They said that he resisted arrest when he reached for a pistol as they accosted him.

The ultimate moral issue is: Who should have control over the educational decisions of children, the family or the state? If the ‘free market’ produces the best of everything else, why shouldn’t we END state involvement in education and let the free market reign in the educational arena as well? The answer is: Academia would have a much harder time INDOCTRINATING the masses.
Deuteronomy 11:19
“And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”

Have watched two families go through this horror with their own children. This is a powerful demonic force, that once it gains access to the child, will cause such havoc that it leaves the parents exhausted and the child tormented. I have seen the threat of suicide used to control the parents to allow the process to continue. Father we need the power of the Holy Spirit to confront this evil. Teach how to cast these demonic sprits out of these children if necessary. Raise up ministries to confront this attack on our children. Raise up an army of resistance against these schools that allow this dangerous activity to continue.

    “…cast these demonic spirits out of these children if necessary”. It IS necessary, no ‘if’ about it. Everyone who is caught up in any sexual perversion is under the influence of demonic spirits.

    The church typically approaches these aberrations as sin (which it is) that needs to be repented of (which it does). But unless we address the demonic component, the person will never be fully free.

    “Raise up ministries to confront this attack on our children.”. We need sound teaching about our identity as created in God’s image, male and female, and a robust deliverance ministry. Lord, raise up warriors for our children!

    AMEN!

We call this GENZ generation out of this darkness and web of lies and into their God given identity. We decree the truth that Jesus disarmed powers and principalities and made a public display out of them having triumphed over them at the cross. We decree this tranagender principality pulled down out of its high place and made a public spectacle out of by its failed attempt to rob our children of their identity IN Christ. We decree GREATER is HE who is IN them than he who is in the world. ARISE SPIRIT OF GOD!! YOU ARE OUR DEFENDER AND DELIVERER!!

This whole movement is the clay questioning the Potter, rebelling against the Potter, doubting the goodness and perfect love of the Potter, challenging the Potter to their own detriment and destruction. Psalm 139 says it all so clearly, we are each so wonderfully and fearfully made, perfect in our Heavenly Father’s eyes. This transgender movement/indoctrination is yet another way the enemy is trying to destroy what God has created in His own image and holds dear – so dear that He sent His Son to buy us back from our slavery to sin. Genesis is so clear, we were created male and female as part of God’s good and perfect plan for His creation. God doesn’t make mistakes and God doesn’t make junk – “For we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works . . .” – this is the serpent in the garden all over again, whispering, “God made a mistake when He made you” – lying to us about our identity, children are being told there’s something wrong with them the way they are and that they need to change to be accepted – but that change is no longer buying more fashionable clothes, which used to be one way teens tried to fit in, by wearing the latest fashion trends or by getting a different hairstyle/color – now the “required change” is surgically altering their body, name change (name changes in the Bible were very significant and important, but that’s another discussion) a total change of identity is being pushed on children who have had no chance just to be children or to grow at their own pace into their God-given identities and purposes. The transgender attack on our youth is part of the full on spiritual battle that is raging right out in the open before our very eyes at present. The attack is made by attacking the identity of each victim, making them dissatisfied with what is – ie. who they are (like Eve, not satisfied) attacking/assaulting/changing them physically allows for the mental, emotional, and spiritual destruction of each and every child and/or individual who participates in this transgender movement in any way to follow. God created us in His image and said “It is good.” Transgender ideology says we will create ourselves/remake ourselves in our own or any image of our own choosing. It is rebellion against and separation from our Creator, God and leads only to death – of the individual (their freedom and identity in Christ) of marriage, of the family and then of a stable society. Transgenderism and all actions and outcomes associated with these choices are destroying families by pitting children against their parents. (don’t some of these teachers have children themselves and would they want the school hiding things from them about their own kids?) Gender is not a choice – never has been. That’s one of the biggest lies. So children are given the burden of thinking there could have been a mistake made, especially if they are unhappy, (and everyone struggles to fit in etc. that’s just life) and they must make choices to correct their incorrect gender. What a burden! That has never been an option until now. A man made/artificially created option which wants to put man in the place of God. There is much more to say but I will stop here. Heavenly Father show us how to protect our children from this all out assault of satan. Truth is what will set us all free from the lies of transgenderism Your Word is Truth, eternal Truth. Your Holy Spirit is truth and will lead us into all Truth. Sanctify us by Your Truth. in Jesus name we pray. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com

Father, I leave all of this in your strong & unfailing hands, i honestly don’t know how to effectively pray for this and depend wholly on your Holy Spirit to pray these issues and people through. I know gender confused people exist and perhaps even gender confused toddlers and children, i have read up on the worldy information which states that children decide their sexual identity by age two, but i do not understand the origins of this ep
issue from YOUR perspective Father, as it seems like a relatively new phenomonon that may have existed previously but not to the degree that it exists today. Father I ask you to step in and rightly divide the science and spiritual biblical facts regarding this issue and the experts and the victims, take them out of the hands and influence of satan and give them clear rational and untainted spiritual thinking and understanding regarding sexual identity directly from YOU, the creator, who has clearly stated you created them male and female…Father you also created people healthy but due to the curse babies are often born deformed and unhealthy so perhaps this gender identity is a result of the curse somehow but I ask you in the name of Jesus to bring the revelation necessary to straighten this issue and it’s victims and purveyors out once for all regarding YOUR truth, as you ARE the TRUTH and there is no lie in you, it is the enemy who comes to lie and steal and apparently he steals and lies about sexual identities…Deal with every aspect of this issue in your unfailing wisdom, love, righteousness, mercy, and justice, Father, every parent, teacher, child, and adult it involves, in Jesus name I pray and receive it.

One study found that 47% of trans children were sexually abused, it it any wonder they are uncomfortable in their bodies! Sexual abuse of children in this country is epidemic with varying statistics of 2in 5 females and 1 in 5 boys. Sexual molestation is a significant factor in same-sex-attraction as well. The church needs to address this and help these confused people!

    I totally agree. Well said. This sexual abuse is a gateway for demonic spirits to enter. This is why so many people with gender dysphoria say, “this is the way they were made” and they can’t get free from it. They CAN’T get free on their own. They have to be delivered from the demonic, and taught their value and identity as a unique creation of God, male or female.

This movement is not only encouraging our youth with this transgender nonsense but also, as the California Council stated they are supporting these youth to deceive their parents, another step toward breaking the family bond. It is a sad development which farther affect the minds of these fragile young ones who are being guided to defy the Lord who wonderfully made them. But then what is to expect when the President himself , on national TV, encourages them and tells the that their President got their backs and he is with them. Is there any sense of morality left in many of the leaders of this country of ours? It is heartbreaking to see how defying, as a Nation, toward God we have become and getting worse. Forgive us Lord.

Very accurate. This goes on at Steele Accelerated High School in Roanoake, TX. I pulled out my daughter when the teacher of the Microsoft Certification classes, in 10 schools in 20 years was apparently trans and had my daughter “helping” alone in a classroomwhen arriving early to school without my knowledge. A little army of girls in khakis, binders, polos, boy cuts and black wedgey shoes are being turned out from that school. She was counseled to go by pronouns within the school and not to let her parents know.

Holy Spirit come and open the eyes of the church leaders participating in this heinous act towards our children. Father send conviction to those in the pulpits. Summon parents of school districts to stand and demand in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that teachers be held responsible for reading, writing, and arithmetic, and to put an end to the “political agenda” of the enemy. O God hear the cries of your people and save our children. Bring back Your righteousness. We give You glory and honor Lord and offer up our sacrifice of praise and worship.

I cannot fully grasp what is going on but this is one way that our children are being deceived by the enemy.
