I Prayed have prayed
Lord, continue to give our president and other government officials wisdom and discernment. We pray that the fear of the Lord in their lives would cause them to shine as a light to the world.

In a June 13 conversation between Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors and BLM-Los Angeles chapter co-founder Melina Abdullah, Abdullah discusses how the two of them have “become very intimate with the spirits we call on regularly,” and Cullors talks about how using a hashtag for BLM is “almost resurrecting a spirit so that it can work through us.”

“We’re invoking” our ancestors, states Abdullah.

The conversation between the two Black Lives Matter activists took place after a live performance art event by Cullors entitled “A Prayer for the Runner.” The performance was sponsored as part of June Pride Month by the Fowler Museum at UCLA. . . .

In addition to her Black Lives Matter activism, Melina Abdullah is the chairman of the department of Pan-African Studies at Cal State LA. She also is a defender of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. . . .

In the interview, Abdullah states, “maybe I’m sharing too much but we’ve become very intimate with the spirits that we call on regularly. Right? Like, each of them seems to have a different presence and personality. You know, I laugh a lot with Wakiesha [Wilson]. You know? And I didn’t meet her in her body.”

Wakiesha Wilson was a black woman who suffered from bi-polar disorder and reportedly hanged herself while in LAPD custody. Her death has become a cause célèbre among BLM activists.

Cullors responds, saying that she was raised a Jehovah’s Witness but, “as I got older, ancestor, ancestral worship became really important.”

Cullors then explains how the hashtags such as #SayHerName and #BLM are a means to honor the dead and invoke them. . . .

Later in the conversation, Abdullah says that “even beyond remembering them [ancestors], we’re invoking them.” She further describes “in our tradition, when we call out our ancestors, we call them out for specific purposes,” and “the first thing we do when we hear of one of these murders is we come out, we pray, and we pour libation, we build with the community where the person’s life was stolen.”

Before these protests, where people have died, we know “we literally are standing on spilled blood,” says Abdullah.

Patrisse Cullors is one of the three co-founders of BLM, along with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi. Cullors is credited with creating the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter in 2013 after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Treyvon Martin case. . . .

In a video, Patrisee Cullors describes herself and Garza as “trained Marxists.”

During the interview with Abdullah, Cullors references two articles written by her “home girl” Hebah Farrag, about the spirituality of Black Lives Matter. Hebah Farrag is the assistant director of research of the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture. On her webpage at USC, one of Farrag’s areas of expertise is listed as “The Spirituality of Black Lives Matter.”

In a July 3, 2020 article, “The Fight for Black Lives is a Spiritual Movement,” Farrag says, “Black Lives Matter (BLM) chapters, along with organizations affiliated with the larger movement for Black lives, channel deep grief and trauma caused by racial injustice into political action through a spiritually informed movement.”

Farrag then describes a BLM-Los Angeles protest outside the home of Mayor Eric Garcetti that occurred on June 2, 2020.

“Melina Abdullah, chair of the Department of Pan-African Studies at California State University, Los Angeles, and co-founder of BLM-LA, opened the event explaining that while the movement is a social justice movement, it is first and foremost a spiritual movement,” wrote Farrag. . . .

“As each name is recited, Dr. Abdullah poured libations on the ground as the group of over 100 chanted ‘Asé,’ [Amen] a Yoruba term often used by practitioners of Ifa, a faith and divination system that originated in West Africa,” wrote Farrag. “This ritual, Dr. Abdullah explained, is a form of worship.” . . .

She then described Patrisse Cullors during the COVID-19 lockdown as follows: “As a person ordained in Ifa, she also led meditations that allowed participants to better imagine the future while advocating for self-care, mental health awareness, healing justice, and art activism during the pandemic.

The Yoruba religion of Ifa is a system of spiritual divination that is practiced in West Africa, the Canary Islands, and in South America. It is also practiced in the United States. Sacrifice is a fundamental part of Ifa and elements of the system are found in Voodoo and Santeria. . . .

“But, on the whole, things offered are those which are used by the human beings in their day-to-day life, ranging from the smallest living and non-living things to the biggest domestic animals, like the cow; and, in some very special circumstances, human beings are offered,” he states.

However, human sacrifice was abolished by the British in West Africa in the 19th century, according to Awolalu.

Hitler and many of his military leaders played around with witchcraft–they ought to think about that and what happened to them. Of course, what they did before & during WWII was horrendous. God help us! Perhaps, the night cometh when no man can work? Work/Sow while it is yet day.

The Blood of Jesus speaks louder than any person, any spirit, any power or plan. The name of Jesus is above every name. EVERY THING AND EVERY ONE BOW TO JESUS!

We can take authority over this spirit similar to what Paul did in Act 16:16-18. A young girl with a spirit of divination kept following Paul and finally Paul said with the authority God gives His children in the Holy Spirit, ” In the Name of Jesus Christ, I command you to come out of her [Patrisse Cullors, Melina Abdullah, Hebah Farrag, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi]. And the spirit left her at that moment.”

Father, “Open the eyes of their hearts, and let the light of Your truth flood in. Shine Your light on the hope You are calling them to embrace. Reveal to them the glorious riches You are preparing as their inheritance(Ephesian 1: 18 Voice Bible).” Amen.

Luke 10:19
“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” In the powerful name of our Lord Jesus, we bind every evil and demonic spiritual force that has come against the USA and it’s citizens. We declare and decree that the spirits of hate, discord, chaos, fear, tyranny are powerless and ineffective over the American people. With confidence we can stand firm in faith and say the plots and plans of Patrisse Cullors, Melina Abdullah, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi along with all other BLM leaders, have been defeated by the Cross. In the name of Jesus we break every curse spoken over the Constitution of America. We loose justice, truth, righteousness, repentance, freedom, integrity and brotherly love. This nation was founded on Godly principles and we call them forth. Lord, first and foremost we come to You with humble hearts to seek Your forgiveness for our waywardness. We ask that You would revive and renew a right spirit in us. Overwhelm us with Your presence and light which casts out all darkness. Give us Your wisdom, discernment, and knowledge as we co-labor with You. Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven. In the mighty name of King Jesus.

Father my heart grieves so deeply for all that is happening to our Nation and above all to the children. Lord, it is only by your merciful hand outstretched from the throne of grace can these severely hardened hearts of Black Lives Matter creators and leadership be softened and turned away from the evil and turned to you. We who are the church must rise and awaken to the call to prayer without ceasing. Prayer for the hounds of hell to be rebuked and sent back to the uninhabited places until the day of judgement. Pray against forms of curses being placed on our President and Leaders of our Nation, States and Communities through the calling up of the spirits. Your would says Lord that witchcraft is an abomination to you. Lord this is exactly what they are doing. We stand on your word in Matthew 18:18 we bind every demonic force that is working behind the scenes of the leaders of this movement. For it is clothed in deception. We ask you Jesus to cast them as far as the east is from the west. We lose truth, justice peace and freedom up those were captive. They would see by Holy Spirit revelation who it is they are worshiping and renounce, repent and turn their hearts to you Jesus we pray.

Dear God, please lead people to Patrisse Cullors who will share the gospel clearly and lovingly with her. Open her eyes and turn her from darkness to life. Heal the rage inside of her and transform her into what You designed her to be. Thank You for loving each of us and turning Your children away from the pain our own ways brought. Put her in YOUR path. Calm this storm. In Jesus’ mighty, holy, all-powerful name, amen.

The Lord is saying, “this kind comes out only with prayer and fasting.”

Recognize ye holy the reign of the ancient Canaanite rising up to intimidate.

Put on your armor and STAND knowing you war not with flesh and blood but with Principalities and Powers.

Arise..I AM is here. Fear Not but pursue and you Will walk in victory.

Recall the King at Ziklag and pursue.
I SAID ARISE AND PURSUE.

AMEN

AMEN

We plead the Blood of Jesus Christ over the destruction of BLM for it is said that you created us in your image and we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Lord God, may those who support BLM understand and wake up to the demons they are inviting into their souls. May the demons of those who possess those filled with hate be made to go and be punished at Jesus feet! We declare and decree that the blood of the Lame cover those who wake up and see the truth and may others come to you before it is too late for their souls. We ask this in Jesus holy name! Amen!

Father God, we praise you for giving us the wisdom and opportunity to be part of the army of God. Let us put on our spiritual armor every day to combat satanic forces that are trying to bring down our country and our president and cause hatred and division amongst us.

Let all who love the Lord our God, come together through vigilant prayer and fasting, to fight these demonic forces of darkness in the spiritual.
We declare and decree that the blood of Jesus poured out for us will cleanse us of our sins and the sins of our nation. We declare and decree that no weapons used against us will succeed.
We declare and decree that we will become Davids in this spiritual battle and we will slay the giants of evil.
Let us come together in prayer and fasting and claim the victory that Jesus has already won for us. We are already victorious in Jesus name. Praise to Our Lord and Savior.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah and again Hallelujah.
Ammen

As Christians we are given the authority over this type of activity. It is eye opening that these things that were done in secret are now voice for all to confirm. It is Jehovah has given us our prayer list. It calls upon us to cover every place of death with the blood of Jesus and to close all portals. To ask Jehovah to send His angels with flaming swords to blitz the skies over the United States to control the first and second heaven and dismantle all assignments against The United States. 🙏🏾👂🦻🏼He who had an ear let him hear🦻🏼👂🏻👂🏼👂🏼👂🏿

Deuteronomy 18:10-13 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divinations or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,11or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritistw or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you.13 You must be blamelessy before the LORD your God.
