As the flames continue to burn in California, many of the state’s lawmakers plan to allocate $50 million to fund opposition to President Trump and his incoming administration.

From Daily Caller. California Democratic lawmakers are reportedly proposing to allocate $50 million of the state’s budget to fund litigation against the incoming Trump administration and shield illegal migrants from deportation as the state battles one of the costliest wildfire disasters in history.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

 

The $50 million proposal comes as California Governor Gavin Newsom’s special legislative session to “Trump-proof” the state’s left-wing laws began convening Thursday. Lawmakers are reportedly planning to allocate $25 million to the state Department of Justice to provide additional funding to sue the incoming Trump administration and another $25 million in grants to immigration advocacy nonprofits seeking to shield illegal migrants from detention and deportation. …

Republican California state lawmakers, led by GOP Assembly leader James Gallagher, excoriated California Democrats’ budget proposal Sunday.

“At a time when California should be laser focused on responding to the devastating wildfires in LA, Democrat lawmakers’ priority is creating a $50 million slush fund to hire government lawyers for hypothetical fights against the federal government and to defend criminal illegal immigrants from being returned to their home countries,” Gallagher wrote on X Sunday. …

“We shouldn’t be focused on ‘Trump-proofing’ California. We should be focused on fire-proofing California,” Republican state Senate leader Brian Jones said during a floor speech last week. …

Dear LORD, I am praying for every person affected by the horrendous fires in California, the first responders caring for them and fighting the fires. May they experience the love of Jesus and the presence of the Lord. Guide them with Holy Spirit wisdom beyond the natural.
Stir the hearts of your people to pray……..contribute ……….and minister in this extreme set of events…….In Jesus Name………..

The truth is that democrats and rinos are against anything President Trump is for. They are willing to burn cities states and the country to the ground than agree with President Trump. Their hatred and disgust of God worshipping Americans is treasonous. God’s judgement is coming and there are only 2 choices 1 you are with God in everything or 2 you are against him. God help us believers in You to remove those who are against you from all positions of power and guide us to return the USA to Your ways. God I surrender to you let Your will be done. 🙏😇🙏

Heavenly Father, we lift up the residents in the state of California. We thank You for those whom have continued to stand on Your promises and on Your word in and amidst all the scheming of evil plots. Isaiah 59:19 (King James Bible) So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. Grant courage, strength, comfort, resilience and renewing for Your elect. In this season, bring forward Your chosen representatives to serve and do a new thing in California for Your glory. Bless those who have been faithful in following You! In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Gavin Newsom is out of his mind! He has never done anything to help California or citizens living here! We attempted to recall him but the democrats stole our votes! This state needs help from the Government and cheapskate pelosi-nephew Newsom is taking on the President and government?

    I say also pray that people eyes are finally open and blinders fall off of them to see there leaders are corrupt and don’t care about people but there left wing corrupt policies to protect illegal , and homeless people more than cares about people homes. They need spiritual eyes opened up to how bad there leader are.

First, I pray for God’s super natural dome of protection over President Trump and Family, for all appointees of his administration, all people attending the inauguration!

Second, I pray for the safe transition of our government leaders in Washington, DC

I pray that God’s Holy Spirit will convict the hearts and minds of those intent to disturb or disrupt the peaceful change of administrations, and enforcement of Federal law. I further pray that plans for evil against President Trump will be stopped in the mighty name of Jesus, God’s Son.

No weapon that is formed against (God) will prosper.. Isaiah 54:17

    I second that pray and say amen. I too have been praying for Trump and vice president and his cabinet. I saw that China president is sending a China rep to Trump inauguration. I hope that he is not there to do evil? There have been word or possible threats of some kind of assassination Temp on Trump at least the think this is a possibility. China, Iran, maybe North Korea ars worried how Trump might cripple there financial institution. Or there worried of some kind of Sanction or terrif. May God intervene and remove these corrupt city and state politicians who only want to support illegal and there worship of creation more than the worship God of heaven

    Nancy Luderitz
    January 18, 2025

    I agree with this prayer…….asking for protection over the whole inauguration process.
    I also agree that all plans to perpetuate evil against Trump will be stopped.

    In the precious name of Jesus,
    Amen

The Democratic Party lost, why are they. not able to graciously accept this and move on. We pray and ask God to bless this nation, but why would He. We are commanded to “Love one another”. What a terrible example we are to our young people. May the Spirit speak into our minds and hearts and grant a peaceful transition.

Father, I pray for California. Change their hearts to be concerned about their citizens. Raise up and give favor to the intercessors there that they would stand fast in prayer for their state and not lose heart. Touch each leader and change their list for money and power into a yearning to follow you and have life in your name.

Lord please remove the blinders from the peoples eyes in California. Help them see your truth among the devastating fires and loss of lives. Through this very difficult time may the people recognize who is in control. Not man, but our Heavenly Father. May your peace and comfort abound in the hearts and minds of all effected by loss.

The Lord gave me a vision and a word recently, and that image was of a Bear roaring, with the words “Roar with Love”.
As a native, born and raised in Northern California, MANY of us do not agree with the politics or the destruction that has conspired because of mismanagement from the Democratic Leaders that sold us out for political gain. Our voices have been drowned out. Our recall attempt to get rid of Gavin Newsom was manipulated and overturned, and I’ve witnessed countless wildfires that have consumed our forest, destroyed lives, livelihoods and structures. Yes, my State is in crisis with the escalation of homelessness, with woke agendas being pushed into our schools. NO, this isn’t because of the people of California – it’s because of horrible, evil leadership. So, when I hear or read comments and criticism that “stupid is as stupid does”, “that we’re more concerned about protecting illegals”, “or that the eyes of our understanding needs to be opened”, Here’s where I need to ROAR – please stop with the judgement that “we the people of California” are a bunch of Nero’s fiddling on our roofs while my state is again on fire and in serious crisis. Your prayers to stop Newsom and his agenda would be much more appreciated.

    I, too, love my home in Northern California. My heart is broken over the ignorance and downright evilness of the Governor and stupidity of the Democratic leadership here.
    I would leave if I didn’t have family and friends here. I cannot think of leaving my hard-earned home, it is the first one I ever owned.
    It does scare me that what happened in Southern California will happen here.
    Please pray for us. We are not all people who voted the terrible government in. I certainly didn’t.
    Thank you.

    I could not agree with you more! Satan has targeted the great state of California ………Hmm I think of Azusa ST, Katheryn Kuhlman, LA the city of angels etc….etc. I pray for the complete tearing down and rebuilding of all evil structures and idols that have been erected in California. Lord remove from office all evil doers in government positions and replace them with people you choose. Send revival and restoration to California, restore the great moves of God in this state with a greater anointing in your mighty name Jesus.

Proverbs 29:2, When the righteous are in power the people rejoice. But when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh.
This is the current state of California, not just Goober Newsom but the super majority Democrat Legislature. California is groaning and suffering under corruption and mismanagement of funds and lack of leadership and no intelligence.

Lived in CA. Experienced the Cedar Fire in San Diego, and some others. The firefighters themselves are amazing people. The politics are atrocious. It was one of the firefighters who explained to me that “Cal-Fire does not have a policy of extinguishing fires; they have a policy of managing them.” Combine this with the foolish amount of power given to environmental groups — which prohibits responsible landowners from clearing away “habitats” around their homes — and the result is catastrophic.

Dear Lord, I ask that Your Mighty Hand remove Gavin Newsom and his crew from power and replace them with a true believers in Christ Jesus. Your people have been crying out to You for deliverance from corrupt, Satanic leadership for many decades.
We seek national revival and we pray for many souls to turn to You Lord. May the scoundrels repent and experience your amazing love, forgiveness and joy. Only Your Holy Spirit can fill that God-shaped hole in every person’s heart.
Amen

i do not believe their concern for the illegals is Christian based….what are they gaining from them….more fires? WHY are they so bent on protecting these illegals??????? Does anyone know?

    Samuel Stephens
    January 16, 2025

    The Democrats are not concerned about the citizens nor illegal immigrants. The illegal population lets the Democrat Legislature spend tax money without accountability. Another reason the Democrat’s like the illegals is because if made legal citizens would most likely vote Democrat.

    Judy
    January 16, 2025

    I too would like to know why they are so bent on keeping the illegals in CA. It most definitely is not from a compassion standpoint. If it was, they would be helping the homeless tent people
    Does anyone know why????

Pray that the eyes of their understanding will be open. If they refuse to repent, then may they be replaced with godly leaders who are statesmen and not politicians.

The leaders of California definitely have their priorities mixed up. It is a disturbing situation when they put lots of money into adject nonsense like “Trump-proofing” their state, while a natural disaster has occurred in Los Angeles. This is where this money needs to go, to help the victims of this horrible tragedy. Lord, please, wake up the leaders of California, especially Gov. Newsom, to reality of what truly needs to be their top priority. Thank you Jesus.

Father in heaven, remove blindness off the eyes of the Democratic leaders in Southern California. Align their economic, time, and other issues with the pressings issues at hand created by the wildfires. Let their focus and agenda be turned towards the dire straits many of their constituents are currently in. May wisdom direct them and not forms of vengeance or retaliation. These things I pray in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, King of the Jews!

I pray differently. I pray like David. Let these rebellious and evil politicians from California, who oppose divine righteousness and justice fall by their own sin Lord. They oppose all things sacred. Let them reap the suffering and the loss they are inflicting on the citizens of California who lost their homes to the fire. Let their children, loved ones, themselves, and their children’s children reap the sinful consequences of their sin and lack of sympathy for those suffering in California. May they lose all they possess, their health, their status, their fame. Bring poverty, destruction and suffering to them and their bloodline, so they experience the pain others suffer and then repent of their sins and come to Christ. The evil proud need to suffer their own sin in themselves and their bloodline Lord, so we have hope they repent of their evil and come to Christ. Repent or perish evil California politicians! Your time is running out. We don’t wish you all go to hell, but you all will end up there soon if you don’t repent! Repent on the name of Jesus Christ! Enough is enough. We are demanding and establishing Justice and Righteousness in the name of the Lord. Your days are counted and few. The Lord has heard our plight for Justice against you. His plan is set up for your fall. In the name of Christ, amen.

    Thank you, brother! GLORY be to God for a man with a WARRIOR-HEART!

    ABBA, You are the Ancient of Days, and therefore we, Your Blood Bought Children, petition The Courts of Heaven according to Daniel 7:22, Ps. 35, Ps.75, Ps.94, Proverbs 6:16-19, Daniel 5 “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN” and according to Psalm 109 for they have been GIVEN gracious time to repent and as they “have shown no mercy, LET NONE be SHOWN to them”, and “LET them KNOW, that YOU, YHWH EL ELYON, GOD MOST HIGH have DONE IT! As Abraham said in Genesis 18, “Won’t the Judge of All the Earth DO WHAT IS RIGHT?”
    You searched for those would would “STAND in the Gap”, and “IN UNITY wherein the BLESSING is COMMANDED”–we arise!
    We ask for You to NOT ONLY Strike Your Gavel, but RELEASE The PLUMBLINE of JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS of Isaiah 28. We decree, declare take authority and CALL FORTH for the JUSTICE of YHWH to REMOVE the Workers of Iniquity–for they cannot sleep unless they plot evil on their beds. We plead for a FAVORABLE Verdict on behalf of the Saints living in California, for the Sake of the Remnant Who Bear the Image and Likeness of YESHUA!(Gen.1:26)
    In Yeshua’s Name we ROAR,”LET JUSTICE ROLL LIKE a MIGHTY RIVER in California and AFTER You have SERVED JUSTICE, then they will KNOW their is a GOD in Heaven and that HE SEES ALL THINGS and GLORY will be given to YOUR HOLY NAME–for the MERCY of YOUR JUSTICE!
    Gracious ABBA, hear our UNIFIED PRAYERS –COME with SHOCK and AWE and LET JUSTICE be SERVED!
    As it is written, as Your Word NEVER Returns null or void, so LET it BE DONE as we TURN Our Key of David (Is.22:22) OVER CALIFORNIA and as Yeshua Turns HIS KEY of DAVID (Rev 3:7)–LET a GLORY PORTAL-be CREATED for JUSTICE so You can send forth Your Decree IMMEDIATELY!
    Amen!

Truly God is not mocked! For whatever a man sows, so shall he reap 🔥! How foolish Newsom and his special legislative body have become! I too pray that all their evil schemes will be thwarted by The Lord. Praying that the eyes of their hearts be opened to their great folly. Praying the citizens of California rise up and oust Governor Newsom and the far-deceived leftists in his administration! “Let God arise and His enemies be scattered!!”

Father, Your Word says “ blessed is a man that does not walk in the council of the ungodly, nor does he sit in the seat of a scoffer or a scorner. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law will he meditate day and night. Father, everything that governor Newson is doing is making a mockery of Your. will. . Father , I pray that we bind him and the Democratic Congress that he serves in California would begin to put their trust in You, Your will, Your purpose bind his mind to Your mind, loose him from the demonic intentions of death and destruction. . Holy Spirit, work in their hearts, and in their lives to change their devastating plan to ruin President Trump and focus upon Your will and Your purposes.

Oh Jesus, the seared minds of those who will not repent is tragicly visible to all around them. yet because they are so steeped in the Kool-aid they themselves cannot recognize that they have no conscience anymore. only a severely great hatred for God Himself and anyone or anything connected with God.
Lord the veil is coming off of people’s eyes. We bring down the assignments of the enemy that is using the people of California against their own citizens and against the nation. Arise O God and let your enemies be scattered! Chase satan’s hordes back to the pit where they come from. in Jesus Name, Amen. Raise up your ekklesia in California to take their place in the third heaven and inspire them to pray timely truths that will set the citizens of California free of the puppet strings that have been holding them. in Jesus Name. Amen.

Talking about adding insult to injury!! Newsom and the radical left have brought California to ruin, and now when the citizens are facing desperate needs all he can think about is opposing the Trump administration and protecting non-citizens!!?? If Californians do not have the good sense to oust him, I will be flabbergasted!
Lord, give Your people in California wisdom and discernment, as to how to turn around the spiritual condition of their state. May they deeply bow to Your Lordship, and seek You in repentance. Holy Spirit, please move mightily to revive Your church and awaken the lost to their need for salvation.
