I Prayed have prayed
Lord, halt these protests. We pray that those who broke the law and harassed Jewish students will be held accountable.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

We covered previously that the “protests” happening now on college campuses are often colored by illegal activities and harassment of Jewish students. Now, students who have been punished for this activism are crying foul and seeking to have their damaging records expunged.

From PJ Media. Student protesters find themselves in a bit of a bind if they get arrested for their actions on campus. Hundreds of students across the country have been suspended while some have even been expelled for their actions.

Who is praying on the wall?

 

But imagine you’re a recruiter for a Fortune 500 company or a white shoes law firm. The chances of a protester overcoming his or her “youthful indiscretion” and getting hired are somewhere between slim and none.

So, many of the students who saw it as a badge of honor to spend a few hours in lockup suddenly realized their future career prospects were out the window. They either want amnesty or their records expunged to avoid the consequences of their actions. …

“Will they be allowed to take final exams? What about financial aid? Graduation?” asks the Associated Press. 

The kids shouldn’t fret. There are already grown-ups who are ready to come to their rescue and make all this unpleasantness go away. …

Barnard, a women’s liberal arts college at Columbia, suspended more than 50 students who were arrested April 18 and evicted them from campus housing. …

On Friday, Barnard announced it had reached agreements restoring campus access to “nearly all” of them. …

What’s the point of a suspension or expulsion if the action is going to be rescinded anyway and the children will be allowed to get away with their illegal activities and hate speech? …

At Barnard College, sister school of Columbia, more than 100 students and faculty protested last week demanding that the students be immediately reinstated, their suspensions lifted, and their records wiped. …

[These students] want their right to protest without dealing with any consequences to the rule of law. …

What do you think of all this? Share what the Lord is revealing to you about this situation below.

If they truly believed in what they were doing they would not be crying now to have their lawlessness disappear. Just goes to show they are spoiled brats and obviously were not disciplined in God’s way as a child. Oh wait a minute they are still acting as a child, a mean and hateful child now. You reap what you sow. God bless. Amen

I pray the students at Columbia Unv who are protesting and here on a student visa will be sent back to their homeland and not welcome to return. I pray for the safety of all Jewish people as well as all students. They are God’s people and I pray for their safety and God’s special blessing upon them. I pray for God to turn protesting into revival where many will accept Christ as their Savior. I pray God will turn evil into good and that He will get the glory. Amen

I would guess that their parents acted the same way – never following through on appropriate discipline. These are essentially spoiled children, who will never be able to discipline themselves enough to achieve any goal that demands short term sacrifice for long term satisfaction. They are to be pitied – but the college authorities, the “adults”, that continue to allow these temper tantrums must be held responsible, or civilization is over in the West.

If it were a hate crime against a black person or persons, would their record be expunged? What is a Hate crime if not a crime?

That is what’s wrong with today’s youth. Every time they do wrong they don’t want consequences and so the heavy gives in and let’s them off. That’s why our world is in such turmoil.

Father you are a God of order and judgement. You do and will hold each of us accountable for the wrongs we have committed on judgement day so I know that in the end those protesting and filled with hate for others will reap the harvest of their wrongs. But I pray that your will be done and that in this season America would become the strong place founded on your word and that we will hold them accountable. That they will have to face the full retribution for their actions. Israeli students are being mistreated and having to hide out and possibly not finish college or at least not be able to enjoy their college experience because of these protesters threatening violence. That should come at a serious cost for those involved and I hope that others who may be watching and thinking of doing likewise will instead be turned around and come to you, My Savior. It is about time that these lawless individuals suffer the full reward of their actions. In Jesus Mighty Name I pray.

“…more than 100 students and faculty protested last week demanding that the students be immediately reinstated, their suspensions lifted, and their records wiped..”

demand-something claimed as due or owed
demanding-to call for urgently, imperiously, or insistently
imperious-marked by arrogant assurance

I wish that God would speak, would open his mouth to answer you, would tell you the secrets of wisdom, which is worth twice as much as common sense. Understand that God is demanding of you less than your guilt deserves. Can you penetrate God’s depths? Can you find out Shaddai’s limits? Zophar Speaks Job 11

Proverbs 6:16-18 What the Lord Hate

Dear Heavenly Father, You remember Zophar’s rebuke of Job. Regardless of its application, I see truth in it. If we received what our guilt and sin demanded, we would be toast. But thanks to Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Savior and to the Holy Spirit, Your power and authority in us, we can seek Your wisdom and know You will grant it. All throughout Your Word we are told what will become of the arrogant, it is a terrible thing to consider. I pray You will look upon the arrogant and respond. I pray You will look upon the arrogant and hold them accountable. Our assurance is in You alone. May these who have behaved so despicably yet issue demands be held to account…Yours. I ask this in the Perfect Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

19For He looked down from the heights of His sanctuary; the LORD gazed out from heaven to earth20to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death,21that they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion and praise Him in Jerusalem,22when peoples and kingdoms assemble to serve the LORD.

Repent, therefore, and turn again, for the blotting out of your sins,

let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!

They all need to be arrested and that be on their permanent records! Companies need to know who they’re hiring. It’s not just a ‘youthful indiscretion’. There are consequences to actions and decisions made

Let me point out these are NOT CHILDREN/KIDS. They are adults.

“The kids shouldn’t fret. There are already grown-ups who are ready to come to their rescue and make all this unpleasantness go away. … ” and
“What’s the point of a suspension or expulsion if the action is going to be rescinded anyway and the children will be allowed to get away with their illegal activities and hate speech?”

Lord, we pray that their arrest records would NOT be expunged, removed or reduced. We pray their eyes would be opened to the wrong they have done and are doing by being “held accountable” for their wrongful & illegal activities.
They have refused to abide by certain rules governing their campuses and cities and venues, therefore allow them to understand that there are consequences for their actions. Open their eyes to see that Israel is not the enemy – but the enemy inspiring their actions is from hell itself. Amen.

Lord, there is such weakness when it comes to disciplining people for their wrong doing. Strengthen resolve. People learn best from their hard knocks in life. Let it be so. Amen.

They broke the school requirements, caused antisemitism among the Jews, Threatening and harassing them.
They need to be held accountable. If the school lets them get away with this type of discrimination, what makes you think it won’t get worse as the world turns?
