I Prayed have prayed
Father, we ask for courage to stand for Your truth. Tear down these lies and deceptions, God, and give us strength so that we may tear them down with You.

Analysis. Why is a bureaucratic agency of the government, tasked with managing diseases and public health, promoting sex and gender policy aimed at school-age children? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just released an LGBTQIA2S+ guidance publication for elementary, middle, and high school faculty and administrators. This catechismal treatise, titled LGBTQ Inclusivity in Schools: A Self-Assessment Tool, states its purpose to be:

A focused, reasonable, and user-friendly approach to identify potential strategies to increase LGBTQ inclusivity in schools.

If that sounds “reasonable” to you, scroll a few more pages in the publication and you will find lists of wholly unreasoned multiple-choice questions posed to educators by the CDC. Some of the questions are so graphic that they will not be listed here. Otherwise, some examples:

I cannot assume a student’s gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

The answer they are looking for: A) This statement applies to me a great deal.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

Scroll a bit further and find another “reasonable” brainteaser, for elementary school teachers:

I ensure event (e.g., prom, pep rallies) policy(s) allows the inclusion of same-gender and gender non-conforming couples.

According to their scoring system, be sure to select answer “A” again — or be flagged as insufficiently inclusive.

This Is for Whom?

Most studies show that less than 1% of the U.S. population identifies as transgender or non-binary. This means, according to the CDC’s own definition of inclusivity, that the 99% who are not beset with gender dysphoria are being prohibited from using biologically reasoned language.

Again, our immediate response and foremost observation should be: Why is a bureaucratic agency of the government, an agency purportedly tasked with managing diseases and public health, promoting sexual and gender-identity policy aimed at school-age children?

This stampede to thrust scientifically untested creeds upon school-age children is less a matter of health and more a religious indoctrination into their cult — a carefully crafted cult, designed to separate children from their identity, from their faith, and from their family.

This post is not a statement to individuals who identify as LGBTQIA2S+. Instead, this is an all-out, offensive assault on the deceptive movements, evil agendas, and cultic tactics being used to inculcate children with unreasonable, unnatural, and hyper-sexualized ideation.

Whom Do We Trust?

From an evidentiary standpoint, is the CDC trustworthy anymore? The CDC and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) were catastrophically inept in their bumbling of SARS-CoV-2 and the vaccines. Now, as they pivot away from their admitted failures with the COVID pandemic and toward our children’s sexuality, why should we trust them?

More important: Why are we letting them do this?

 

The phrase “the science is settled” should be crowned the most deceptive aphorism of the 21st century. And nowhere does that phrase miss the mark more grievously than in today’s nonscientific promotions of sex, gender, and “trans” matters — particularly toward children.

Of the 20 citations footnoted in the aforementioned handbook, one is missing entirely, two circularly refer back to the CDC’s own materials, and the remaining 17 link to an NIH site. This type of preaching to the choir is despicable enough by itself, until you stop to realize: Our children are their choir.

Remember, this is the same CDC that promotes Q Chat Space, an online forum designed to inject young children with LGBTQIA2S+ ideology. Children can learn about gender transitioning, polyamorous relationships, and even the occult — and all this as they stay beyond their parents’ monitoring.

I am concerned about the CDC and other state and federal government agencies promoting ‘Q Chat’ to underage children. This site promotes hormone replacement for kids, usurps parental rights, and even exposes children to the occult — all while encouraging kids to hide the site from their parents.

Dave Kubal, IFA President and CEO

In a pitifully weak attempt to feign innocence, the CDC equivocates several times in the publication. First, the agency says thatthe ideas and opinions expressed within [the linked resources] do not represent the official opinion of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” The CDC also insists that the self-assessment portion is “not a required tool for auditing or punishing school staff.”

Based on how quickly the radicalization of our education system is taking place, we should all bear a holy disgust against any government agency that dares to distribute this sort of material, fully knowing that most parents vehemently object to such systematic indoctrination of their children.

Who Is the Real Enemy?

A Christian friend told me recently that the Church should not become involved with the cultural and political issues of our day. Instead, this friend asserted, we should just “focus on the kingdom.”

I don’t know what any of that really means. And based on what we read in Scripture, I’m not sure that God does either. As He once told the Israelites through Moses:

Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles (Exodus 34:12–13 NIV).

Long before the days of the Abrahamic covenant, pagan gods dominated, manipulated, and devastated untold numbers of civilizations. Regardless whether the people did or did not believe, they were compelled to offer unfettered devotion and sacrificial worship to these gods — and it was mostly out of fear.

These gods demanded unreasonable sacrifices, disfiguring self-mutilation, and perverted sexual rituals to secure appeasement. Predictably, the children suffered the most.

It seems the biblical edict remains true: there is nothing new under the sun. Whether 4000 B.C., or A.D. 2023, those adults who reject the Lord often race to appease the pagan forces by sacrificing the children first.

The goddess Asherah, the supposed mother of Baal and priestess of fertility, was one of the most powerful and feared forces in the ancient world. Known for proliferating sexual deviancy and gender confusion, worshippers were led to believe that all expressions of sexual indulgence were profitable — men could become women, and women could become men.

Nothing new under the sun.

Asherah was most often represented as a graven image carved from hardwood trees. Hence, the term Asherah pole is used in Scripture nearly 40 times. The most important thing to realize is this: The culture of that day deemed the worship of Asherah resolutely superior to the worship of Adonai. Sounds a lot like the CDC.

What Should the Christian Do?

Very much the way God commanded through Moses, behold how He commands Gideon to not only tear down his father’s Asherah pole, but also to burn it. When the Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, we read: … Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites (Judges 6).

The tasks of harvesting wheat and pressing grapes were performed in separate seasons. But at the time described in this Bible passage, the Israelites were under siege by their enemy and at risk of famine. Each time the Israelites harvested their crops, their enemies would steal those crops. And each time they pressed the grapes for wine, their enemies would steal that, too.

In a desperate attempt to preserve the life of his family and his nation, Gideon was processing wheat in a wine press, trying hard to hide this activity from the enemy. Just then the Angel of the Lord appears and declares: “The Lord is with you, courageous warrior.” To which the befuddled Israelite replies: “Pardon me, but if the Lord is with us, then why has so much disaster overtaken us?”

How many of us are asking that same question today?

But just at that critical point in the Gideon narrative, Yahweh appears: “You have the strength,” the Almighty tells him. “Have I not sent you? I will be with you.”

Do not miss the progression! First, Gideon was doing the right thing at the right time. The problem was, he was doing it in the wrong place. Yes, it was indeed the time to harvest the wheat for bread, but out of fear Gideon was threshing in the place intended for the wine.

How many believers have been sowing their seeds and working the harvest, only to watch the bread get stolen? And how many intercessors are crying out for the new wine of the Spirit, only to watch the grapes get confiscated?

These are days when the Enemy is viciously stealing every good thing that noble people have worked for decades to create. If you are in a church that agrees with my friend and says it’s best not to engage the culture or involve ourselves in politics — run. And if you are surrounded by people who are content to comply with the dictates of pagan forces like the CDC — run.

And if your children attend a school that promotes this type of sexualized propaganda — grab your children and run.

Second, the promissory pronouncement of the Lord was preceded by an angelic visitation. Scripture tells us that sometimes we unknowingly entertain angels. The key is: When we are visited, do we remain unaware, or do we listen and ask more questions, like Gideon?

And third, might the Lord be asking us, on behalf of our nation, to do the hardest thing imaginable? Small groups, quiet times, and church on Sundays are all beneficial, of course. But they are hardly sacrificial. However, to stand up and speak out against the patterns and practices held by even those we love the most might be the most excruciatingly sacrificial thing you can do.

That night the LORD said to Gideon “ … Pull down your father’s altar to Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole standing beside it” (Judges 6:25 NLT).

Notice that Gideon is not told to tear down his father. This is the whole point: We can boldly tear down lies, deceptions, and arguments, yet still honor those who wrongly believe in them.

The unbelievers of our day will dismiss a goddess like Asherah as nothing more than myth, fable, lore. But to dismiss the power of these unseen evil forces is to live in subjection to them.

How Shall the Intercessor Pray?

Those who can see what the Lord is now revealing will realize that we must call upon the hierarchical powers of heaven, appropriate the blood of the resurrected Christ, and tear down the pagan towers of deception that are wreaking havoc across our land and within our families.

Intercessors, this is the right time, and this is the right season. Be courageous in word, mighty in faith, and expectant of angelic visitations heralding victory after victory in 2023. All for the glory of God!

And for the sake of our children.

What is your response? Share this article to encourage others to stand against the lies and deceptions!

Oh thank you, the Church needs to be involved and because they are not that is why we find ourselves in this societal rot. Our God and Forefathers gave us a beautiful nation, forged with Him above all. If you look at the Constitution and a majority of the Founders they believed in God and gave credit to Him for it’s founding.
I have not read it yet but Eric Metaxas has a new book out called Letters to the American Church speaking about this and talking about Germany in the thirties and Bonhoeffer. My point is we need to be involved, watching some opinion commentators are asking where is the Church.
When this so called respect for marriage bill was trying to be passed I was calling those twelve senators and was able to get through easily to all of them but one. Those phone lines should have been melted down. Where were the people who run these huge Church organizations, they should have been urging their congregations to melt the phones down. There were amendments pending that would have kept religion from being persecuted. This greatly upsets me, the apathy in this country, a lot of men gave their lives for it and other sacrifices.
A few people can make a difference. We got a college to change their policy on minors be able to attend these nasty drag queen shows on the property.

Keith this was so wonderfully and powerfully written by the anointing of the Holy Spirit – I don’t have the words to speak when I read the first few lines – I have been ranting about this for years now – CAN PEOPLE NOT SEE OUR GOVERNMENT IS NOW TAKEN OVER BY PURE SATANISTS – we are being ruled by evil and their #1 target now is our precious children – How do we DARE ALLOW THESE DEVIANT, PERVERSE, SATANIC PORNOGRAPHIC FILTH inside the precious minds of our youngest children. Sharing this everywhere – it was brilliantly written by this excellent brother and man of faith – Thank you Keith and you Heavenly Father Lord Jesus Christ for your Word, your power and grace and the victory we will achieve in 2023 over ALL THESE EXTREMELY EVIL SATANIC FORCES, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray.

In the Kaluga region [Russia], at the lesson “Conversations about important things”, schoolchildren were instructed to paint the LGBT flag

15.11.2022
“It is no secret that the country has been actively working on a law banning LGBT propaganda in recent months. Against this background, the task for children, which on Monday, November 14, had to be completed by first-graders of Maloyaroslavets school No. 1, looked rather strange. They were asked to decorate the flag of tolerance. Or rather, the LGBT flag.

The parents voiced their indignation in the social networks of the government of the Kaluga region. According to them, the task to paint the LGBT flag was given to kids as part of the lesson “Conversations about important things”. The questionnaire also included a calendar in which it was necessary to specify the date when the International Day of Tolerance was celebrated, as well as a list of words where it was necessary to cross out the superfluous – that is, concepts that did not suit a tolerant person.

It is noteworthy that the photo of this task, which was posted by parents on social networks, shows that the first-grader accurately drew the sequence of colors of the LGBT flag. It is unlikely that he knew such subtleties from infancy – it is logical to assume that the children were shown the right coloring so that they would not confuse it with an ordinary rainbow.

– Is it patriotism and traditional values, for the sake of which “Conversations about important things” were crammed into the curriculum schedule? What is going on with our education in general? Who will be responsible for LGBT propaganda to first graders? – outraged parents are interested.

As explained in the Ministry of Education of the Kaluga region, on this day, classes dedicated to the study of the diversity of cultures of the peoples of Russia were held in all schools of the country.”

Why would the CDC think that they even have to power to even have anything to say about this stuff.

Father this article is not really surprising after what happened with the pandemic but the attack on our children is very alarming. Lord I pray for the children their parents and family that God that you would place that discernment with in them so they would see right through this latest attack. Lord I thank you for your love, grace, wisdom, and so much more that can be found in your word of God for us to search for answers which you provide. It’s really funny because a lot of us go through life wishing we had a hand book to life or for us to live our best life packed full of wisdom and God you provide that in the Bible. In your word God yet there are so many who seem lost. God I pray for these lost individuals and also that God that you would shine your light and expose the corruption and remove it. Please protect us from the temptations of the world. We pray for the courage to want to be transformed by you God and your Word. That God by us being transformed we would not conform to the ways of the world. In Jesus’s name Amen.

Suffer ye the little children we are told. Not just Christian children or children of Christian parents. Jesus did not discriminate or leave anyone out. If the government is leading children into sin, confusion, or a sexually inappropriate lifestyle, it is our job to speak out and protect the children. Heavenly father, let not your church be silent but a resilient and vocal proponent for the protection of children.

“You hide them in the shelter of your presence, safe from those who conspire against them. You shelter them in your presence, far from accusing tongues.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31‬:‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Heavenly Father, I exalt you in this prayer and praise Your Holy name. I pray you hide the children of our nation in the shelter of Your presence, safe from the intrigues of those who conspire against them (CDC) and safe from the accusing tongue. The evil things that could happen in this world won’t happen because these children are hidden safely in the shelter of your presence! Praise you my God, my King! You see these children and you cover them! Holy Father, I pray to the Lord of the Harvest to send laborers into the LGBTQ field to find the 1% that are lost and bring them back so you may rejoice more over them than the 99% that did not wander. Father it is not your will that any should perish. Send the laborers whom they will listen to, so they may turn from evil and turn to God so they may be saved. I pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus for the glory of God! Amen

While I agree with the author of this piece on many points, I am not sure I agree that Christians should rise up anywhere publicly to argue or protest issues of sin and faith publicly, if they do, God help us, may they go to their prayer closet first and foremost, repenting of their sins, their pride, and ask God for clean hands and a pure heart, along with a heart, mind, and spirit full of wisdom, and a mouth yielded to the Holy Spirit to speak and act only as GOD leads, not tainted with religion or flesh.

I say that because I honestly do not see anywhere in the Bible where believers are counseled to go into the world and argue or protest for Christian, biblical causes, and if i am wrong on that please feel free to list verses where it says that…we are called to PRAY, we are called to turn a BRETHERN IN FAITH away from the error of his ways, we are called to judge the church not those outside of the church… the stories quoted in in the article were about ISRAEL, a COVENANT NATION, not USA. Although some will beg to differ saying USA is a ” covenant nation”, there is only one TRUE covenant nation mentioned in the Bible and that is ISRAEL. yes, ALL the nations BELONG to Christ, but where does it say there are other nations that God covenanted with like He did with Israel? USA is basically a gentile nation compared to Israel, just like all the other nations. We had Christian pilgrim founding fathers, and they may have dedicated this land to God, but I don’t see where there was any miraculous covenant made by God to the USA. We have been blessed for sure as well as cursed, and there are promises for the “nations” but we are NOT God’s covenant nation, we as INDIVIDUAL Believers are heirs to Abraham, but not we as the entire nation that is called the USA.

Even if we were, I look to the story of Shadrach, Meschack, and Abendego…did they CONFRONT Nebuchadnezzar for his idolatry? Did they tear down his idol in the middle of the night? They were not called to do that as they were CAPTIVES in a GENTILE nation. Gideon was called BY GOD in a MIRACULOUS CALLING to do that in his OWN FAMILY and then after his obedience he was given further Instructions from God on how to save his COVENANT nation. When Shadrach, Meschack, and Abendego were faced with the choice to worship Nebuchadnezzar’s idol “or else” they simply refused stating their faith in their God, the God of Israel, they didn’t even rebuke Nebuchadnezzar for idolatry at all, they simply explained their reason for not worshipping his idol, GOD showed up for HIS COVENANT CHILDREN IN THAT FURNACE, due to their covenant behavior, their covenant commitment, and in doing so Nebuchadnezzar was faced with an undeniable jaw dropping example of the power and faithfulness of the God of Israel to the 3 Hebrew Youth who kept their covenant with God refusing to bow to an idol.

I don’t see Paul tearing down idols in Greece, i see him using the wisdom and discernment God gave him to mention their statue to the “unknown God” and suggest that that was the God of Israel, I dont see him or other disciples tearing down idols in other nations, yes they caused a stir, the idol makers of Artemis caused an uproar, but not because Paul tore down idols anywhere but in the spirit through PRAYER and FASTING, then preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and doing miracles in the name of Christ which made the gospel and Paul known in Ephasus and in their words, “the entire province of Asia”, the gospel was being preached with signs and wonders by the new covenant keeping apostles, from what I have read they weren’t out spewing hate and self righteousness on sinners, the deceived, or idol worshippers, or out tearing down idols, preaching religion, protesting at temples or public squares. They focused on iving and preaching the TRUE Gospel, and not finger pointing the Sins or idols of heathen nations.

USA is considered a Christian nation, but is not a covenant nation, like many other predominantly Christian nations, we and they have fallen prey over the centuries to the religion about Christ, not the true gospel OF Christ…false gospels, doctrines of demons, and compromise. We see the evidence of that in a weak church with few true miracles, making converts who are like US or like the Pastor, not necessarily like Christ, the Bible doesn’t say to confront the world, we are to REACH the world for Christ with his love and by our example of a true and active personal COVENANT relationship with God through Christ as his heirs, not beat them down with bibles, insisting that we are a covenant nation like Israel that needs to everyone in this nation, all the schools and government to ACT like Christians. This nation is a melting pot of nations, we may have started out as Christian, our founding fathers may have dedicated our land to God, but there was also much bloodshed and destruction and plunder of the American Indians here who’s land this was, and not to mentiin many unrighteous Illuminati wars with other nations with the goal of taking down leaders who opposed tge New World Order, especially in our lifetime.

If I am completely off base share some scripture where we are supposed to confront the godless and idolator… GOD promised to do that for his COVENANT NATION. He promised to drive them out of the PROMISED LAND. We as INDIVIDUALS who maintain a COVENANT with God through Christ are heirs to those promises as individuals and we are counseled to inherit our individual promised land for ourselves and our families, but I don’t see it as our entire nation was promised by God as being heirs with miraculous visitations and the ways he made covenant and proved his covenant with Israel. I feel the best we can do for our nation, our leaders, our schools, is PRAY, FAST, REPENT, and TRULY LIVE as COVENANT believers who inherit “our promised land–the NEW JERUSALEM, only then will be truly through the indwelling spirit of God, able to truly impact our neighbors, our schools, and our communities, cities, state and nation for God and have them WANTING what we have, not from preaching hellfire and brimstone but from them seeing the hand of God in our life, like Nebuchadnezzar saw on the Hebrews, and the natives saw on Paul when he washed up ashore, they fell down and worshipped him until he made them stop and gave them the true gospel. People in America are tired of “hearing the gospel” from lame, blind, deaf and nearly dead carnal believers … when the church rises up to be what we what we are called to be, we won’t have to storm our schools, they will fall under conviction through the power of God through true believers sharing the TRUE gospel with signs and wonders like that preached by the first disciples around the world. Entire nations were not converted, not even all of Israel, only individuals “who would”, yet all the world “heard” of the miracles and the anointing of God, they didnt hear about a bunch of carnal believers trying to tear down idols in their flesh insisting nations act religious like them and accept a savior with a new covenant that even they haven’t fully understood or committed themselves to.

        Joel 3:2 I will gather ALL the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with THEM there, on behalf of MY people and MY heritage ISRAEL, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land.

        Biblically, ALL the nations are in one category except Israel, God’s heritage. Individual New Covenant Believers are his heritage and His people as well, yet living in a gentile nation. The only Nation as a whole entire Nation that has a true covenant with God is Israel. The rest are gentile nations with covenant PEOPLE as individuals, or the church as a body.

      Issues that violate our Constitutional rights as believers are one thing…yes we have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, let us join the protestors to defend our CONSTITUTIONAL rights as believers, (Kirk Cameron recently, absolutely right. If drag queens can do story time why not Christians) but we can not insist that the government and our schools, accept biblical teachings like creation, we can go with clean hands and a pure heart backed up by prayer and fasting to insist on common moral decency in our schools though, the sex education has gotten way too explicit, and critical race theory is racially divisive, we can stick to constitutional rights and common decency, we can address issues of teachers profiling young children as gays or TRANS and giving puberty blockers to minors without parental consent, the Temple of Satan has the same constitutional rights to freedom of religion we do, sad but true. we need to address constitutional religious issues prayerfully, on how to utilize our constitution to protect us and our children, and if the schools continue to deteriorate we have an obligation to get our children out of there and into a Christian school or home school, we need to pray for political corruption and anti constitutional agendas to be exposed and for corrupt politicians to be fully exposed and face judgment, there are some true traitors holding high seats of influence and power in our nation, some very corrupt people who would give us over to the New World Order tomorrow and do away with our constitutional rights, and they need to be prayed down and ask God for enough valid legal proof of that and when exposed, enough righteous in authority to insist they be tried and jailed for treason. and yes our voices should join them when the valid proof is exposed but we can not just go off on accusations. We need GOD to expose them in an undeniable way. I am not saying it is never right to protest, I am saying we need wisdom and discernment and prayer and we have to remember that USA is not a covenant nation, individual Christians are covenant people and we are probably still the majority in this nation, I do believe we are called to do exploits, but in the power, timing, and wisdom of God. Consistency in worship, Prayer and the word and refusing worldly compromise can not be underestimated. We should not be publicly involved in addressing our Constitutional rights without those obvious spiritual weapons…God will absolutely move through his people who have clean hands and a pure heart surrendered to Him and He will direct their minds, their hearts, and their ways on these issues to do exploits, but let us be sure it is God driving and directing us in wisdom and his power, not a counterfit religious zeal.

        I’m not here to argue with anyone. I am saying let us be “berean” and prayerfully examine ALL the scriptures, not make assumptions and build doctrines and give one size fits all type directives from the Old Testament here about tearing down idols based on some scriptures when there are other stories in the Bible in the Old Testament and in the New Testament that clearly show Patriarchs like the 3 Hebrews, Daniel, Paul and the Disciples with a different course of action regarding idols in Gentile Nations. The take away I get from the Bible is God wants to lead us into the battles HE wants us in, in HIS timing, in HIS way. There was not a one size fits all battle plan for every situation, Moses then Joshua sought God for the specific battle plan, as well as other God fearing Kings in the Old Testament, and I think we need to stay biblical in comparing Israel, a COVENANT nation, with USA which is not a covenant NATION, it instead has a majority of Jewish and Christian believers who are covenant PEOPLE as INDIVIDUALS, living in a gentile nation like all the other nations of the world. If you ask an orthodox Jew to back up in scripture if USA is a covenant nation like Israel I would be interested in his scriptural response. GOD only has ONE covenant nation although all the nations are his inheritance, his covenants are with individual heirs of Abraham in the other nations who have accepted his NEW Covenant. In the final end all the nations turn against Israel, including USA. I don’t see two nations standing with God’s covenant protection only ONE, Israel. If you find otherwise in the Bible please back it up with scripture so we can all learn the Berean way. Father, you alone know all truth, and promise to lead us into Truth. Help your people to stay united and not squabble over these issues, yet to search the scriptures daily asking you to reveal your truth and will to us as individuals, and to our government as a nation. Father clean out the corruption in the church, the false doctrines, the assumptions, and teach us the whole true Gospel that Jesus taught his disciples, and empower us like your Holy Spirit empowered them, that we may do the exploits you have for us, with clean hands and a pure heart, leading others into the same precious truths without errors, may we be wise as servants yet harmless as Doves and more than conquerors in the perfect steadfast balance that only you can give us, as we see our nation deteriorating spiritually, lead your covenant people as you led Israel, give us your directives, your wisdom, timing, and miracles. We ask it for the glory of Christ and you the Father, in Jesus name.

Before God created us, He had in mind who and what we would be. He created me to be a girl, of the Christian variety. I did not start out as a Christian right away, that took years, and reading the Bible is what kick-started how I believed in Whom, and why. At no point in my life did I ever think or believe that God made a mistake in my gender. God is our Creator, as well as our Redeemer. He MAKES NO MISTAKES! Jesus took 39 stripes with a whip that cut his flesh for ME! He was nailed on that cross for ME! He suffered terribly for ME! I owe Him everything that is good about me, and nothing that was evil about me! He saved me, and I will spend the rest of my life serving Him!

One way we can all resist the devil and he will flee is to monitor what we allow our eyes to see. For me, when a television, movie, ad comes across the screen depicting what God terms an abomination (homosexuality, lesbians, trans) , I quickly change the channel, turn the movie off my tablet, or do the ‘right’ thing. The enemy makes inroads the more they can sensitize you their demonic agenda to accept it as normal.

Father God, may the eyes of your people be sensitive to Your Word, Your Way and turn from sin and turn to you. May a conviction rise in their soul to seek righteousness, and truth. May their actions, thoughts, words line up with You and not the enemy. Amen.

No, we can’t trust the CDC or most other Federal agencies. They have been infected with the pandemic of Marxism, and have lost any sense of reality.
Also, those confused pushing their artificial genders keep adding letters to their “identity.” Started with LGBT and is now up to LGBTQIA2S+ I can’t pronounce this. Therefore, I suggest we call them the “letter people” as they keep adding more letters. This is not disrespectful. It simply acknowledges these folks keep adding letters to their ID. No matter how long the latter gets, “letter people” covers them without changing in length and remaining pronounceable.
May the Lord free the letter people from their confused identities.

I believe we do need to keep our focus on the kingdom of Heaven. This will help us fight for what’s right in this earthly one in which we are in but not of. We were never promised a comfortable life but the strength to stand in TRUTH. Jesus walked in constant adversity and persecution. As true followers we will do the same as the early church did. He is with us!! It’s time to stop making our lives comfortable and make Christ known.

My prodigal daughter is in her 20’s and this poison has reached her through internet, social media, and anime. Even though your child is no longer in school (the colleges are also infested) they are not safe from the enemy. Arm them young with the Word and keep them away from the things I mentioned as much as possible. When they are adults it may be too late.

    I am a teacher and I see all this alphabet junk in the schools. Some of these students think they r of the sex which they weren’t born 8n. My prayer is for God to deliver out of this trans pit and guide them to the light of Christ and the truth. I also pray that God would give the parents of these children strength and determination to realize this gay agenda is wrong and sinful. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.☦️

Thanks,Keith, for the usefulness and true enlightenment of what you’ve shared with us. I promise to stand against the attacks of evil as Father God calls me to speak and act. If we don’t obey and stand but tolerate these horrible things, WHO will? God has always worked through His people throughout history. Now it looks as if it’s our turn. However He leads us , He promises to be with us and empower us. It is more fearsome to disobey God than to stand up and fight evil as He leads and empowers us. Yes, Father we will obey asHoly Spirit leads. Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation;Whom shall I fear ?The Lordis the strength of my life;Of whom shall I be afraid?

God says “ I am able to do far beyond all that you ask or imagine. Come to me with positive expectations, knowing that there is no limit to what I can accomplish. “ Ask MY Spirit to control your mind, so you can think Great Thoughts of me. Time is a trainer, teaching you To Trust Me to see the Power and My Glory at work. God is explaining to us we must understand that HE can do more than all of us, or imagine. Ephesians 3:20:21 Have we not learned over the years that if God is left on the side lines, as we are finding out; that we are in a mess of destruction. It has been shown we failed as Christians just to close our hearts to set aside Gods Glorious intervention. I have come to the realization that we must call upon God to help clean up the evilnesses that we have allowed to enter our lives. There are altars that sit in every nation that represents other gods that are a lie to what people are believing. A lot of Americans even voted in a President, a president that stood on a platform that was designed in the spirit of Satan. Where were the representatives, pastors, leaders to Stop this. It is very evident that no one called on God to stop this. From that point on until 2023 no one fought for Gods Freedom and cried out for His help. I am older now and learned how to pray and fight the devil with Godly Principles. Romans – 8:6 says – The mind of a sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by Gods spirit is life and peace. As I read these words I’ve copied “ These are days when the Enemy is viciously stealing every good thing that noble people have worked for decades to create. If you are in a church that agrees with a friend and they say it’s best not to engage the culture or involve ourselves in politics — run“ This proves that a lot of people joined in activity that was not appropriate. Bibles we’re stopped being read, for this action many forgot to keep Gods word poured into their lives. Pastors stopped preaching on what caused sin in lives. Father God thank you for opened eyes to see the trap that Satan used to set traps for the weak. When God was set aside people began making mistakes, brought on problems, weakness and neediness. (Our children are being indoctrinated by programs in schools, parents that have endorsed transgender, abortions, because of LIES). This transformation to go after the children, they want to mold them as robots to ( Do as I say indoctrinated). Our churches do not teach the children in Sunday School and parents have quit going to church and taking them. The Churches and Politicians have caved to Cultural Pressure. Led by Presidents and leaders, Fear took over, Pastors, parents forgot to value their children. We Hold The Power to Restrain Evil. Psalms-23 says The Lord is MY Shepherd, Psalms: 91 says 1-16 The Lord is our refuge, he will deliver and protect us, Psalms: 103 is a chapter that holds our mercy, forgiveness, His Covenant to us. Psalms: 116 teaches us About Thanks to him, & trust in him. He will fight the enemy for us, learn to Praise Him. Many of these scriptures are in Gods word, called a Bible. Expect every day to find a gold nugget of guidance, for each of us to win the battles in our homes, children’s lives, how to stand strong against Satan and all of the people who choose to follow the Evilnesses of this culture, that has been having power over us. God has now given many of the prophets words to help us fight against this global agenda, tied in with Satan, and Elections. They are pushing to have control of our children. God has given us marching orders on how to take back what is being stolen from us. Call down their evil plans, call down the manipulations, call down their evil laws, call down vaccines. Call down their voices to reveal their agendas by mistake, call in freedom, declare Gods words, call down victory, Focus on me said God. Call down the enemies to be removed, call them defeated. We have the Authority Jesus gave us before he ascended to Heaven to be with His Father. God only allows the enemy to go so far, God wants us to see what the enemy is doing to us so he exposes them so we understand what has been going on for years. Joshua 1-5 claim these words daily from the prophets: A year to be Free and to agree with the prophets. A year of Great Victory in 2023 or 202Free. The enemy we will see no more if we declare these words daily. Remember the walls of Jericho fell with Loud Praises and shouts, why not WE do the same thing. Man cannot save us, but God can. No fear just the security of Gods words and Faith over every obstacle. Jesus I lean into your Covent words and Plead the Precious Blood of Jesus over all of the declarations that the lies and deceptions will be removed and our Lives and homes Will be restored by your Mercy and Grace. I think you God for all you do and your ways are not our ways, but we accept all you teach us and do. We shall not be defeated!!! We shall win!! 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

We as intercessors find ourselves frustrated because want so badly to see total and quick change in our country and change we actually SEE is hardly visible. God is at work! Be encouraged!
Keep on keeping on!
I totally agree that we MUST engage the culture! We must not be cloistered within the walls of the church!
I strongly recommend a book entitled “Letter to the Church in America” by Eric Metaxas.
Available at Amazon for about $20. In the book, the author compares the complacent church of America today to the silent church in Germany during the rise of Hitler in the 1930s.
It will make a difference in your view of the current situation.

Excellent article describing the principality behind the transgender movement. How are we to contend with it? The battle is in the minds of people. When one becomes a believer in Christ, we receive the power over Satan in OUR minds to pull down every strong hold that would exalt itself above the knowledge of Christ. We have the ability to be led into all truth by the Holy Spirit. The world outside of Christ do not have that ability. They are of the world, whose prince is Satan. We are in the world but not of the world. We enter a new Kingdom that operates completely different to the world. We do not look out for ourselves but love others. We sacrifice, we give, seek peace etc. We interact with a fallen world to show Christ in us and spread the Good News.
These principalities were spiritual beings first created by God as His confidants. They were given authority over the nations. They rebelled and led the nations astray and became the “gods” as mentioned in the Bible. Man also sinned in the garden. It is no wonder the world is a mess.
After decreeing, binding, tearing down, pulling down, eliminating, destroying, and casting out these principalities for 7 years, I finally began searching the scriptures to see if what I was doing was correct. I had no peace and was frustrated because my specific prayers were not answered to bring results that I anticipated.
No where in the Bible has any one ever engaged these principalities in this manner. If we were instructed to pray this way, would not Paul have mentioned it in Ephesians 6? He identifies them as the forces of darkness we wrestle with, but not once does he tell us to engage with them directly. He does say to put on the full armor of God and then stand, and keep standing. In Eph 3:10, he says we are to “demonstrate the manifold wisdom of God to them”.
Spiritual warfare is about truth, not territory. We do not have the ability through prayer to sweep a nation clean from these evil powers. We do have the ability to demonstrate to the lost the Truth of Christ which can transform lives and give them the tools to resist enemy and lead them into all truth. We can, like Daniel, intercede for our lost nation, and petition God. The battle that ensued from Daniel’s prayer was carried out by the angels, not Daniel. This whole notion of battling these forces of evil came from fictional books by like Piercing the Darkness, not based on scripture.
I am telling you this truth because believing we have this power over these principalities gives us a false sense of importance that puts faith in ourselves to pray the right prayer to obtain what we want. We get discouraged when our prayers are not answered. We try and find ways of encouraging ourselves to go back into the ring. We only come back beat up and bloodied, and the cycle repeats.
God has a bigger plan that we know to be true. He is building His precious bride, His Ekklesia. One day He will return for Her, and we will be transformed and rule and reign with Him forever. That is where our hope should lie, not in anything in or of this world. In the meantime, yes we pray for our leaders, but for the right reason, to live peaceful lives. We rest in Him, knowing that God is using these principalities in His overall plan for His glory. 1 Cor 15:24 states that these principalities will be destroyed when Christ returns, not before. He will destroy them. They are His responsibility, not ours.
I ask you to read your Bible and see if what I say is true. The Apostles had to deal with a corrupt and tyrannical government, yet their purpose was not to change it but to change the lives of the lost. We have a corrupt government because the people of our nation are lost and deceived and so many of our elected officials are corrupt. God’s plan is not to remove these evil forces of influence before Christs return. Our role is to allow society to change from the inside out by shining the light of Christ to a fallen world and use prayer as a petition to God. Are we not out of order decreeing and executing judgement on these spiritual beings that God has created and given them power and authority? Jesus was given all authority over them, yes, but will not use it to destroy them until He returns, Is it possible we have stepped into a place of authority we were not given? Again, read the scriptures carefully and find out for yourselves what motivated the early church. Paul was fully aware of these forces of evil, but not once did He go after them.

    TRUST in JESUS!!
    January 6, 2023

    Jesus did say in Matthew 18:18 that what WE bind on earth will be bound in Heaven and what WE loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven. He told us in Luke 10:19 that we have been given AUTHORITY over serpents and scorpions and ALL the power of the enemy and NOTHING shall by any means harm us. We are told we are seated in the Heavenlies with Christ Jesus in Ephesians 2:6 and we are joint heirs with Christ in Romans 8:17. If God is for us who can be against us in Romans 8:31. Man was given authority over all the earth and everything in it but sinned and gave the keys to the devil but then the second Adam came and got the keys back hence bringing us back to original intent by God to rule over the earth as He does in Heaven now through the authority of Christ alone. We are to do that in part until Jesus returns where He will institute His Kingdom in full and we will reign with Him as in Rev. 5:10 and 20:4-6. He said in John 14:12-13 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. 14 Yes, ask me for ANYTHING in my name, and I WILL do it! With that being said what I believe is our ability in Christ to do is, to deal with anything on the earth that needs to be dealt with such as demons and anything higher if it were to step into the earth realm, but dealing with principalities that reside in second heaven, my suggestion would be to ask God to remove them and change the hearts of men so there will be no agreement in that nation or region or household for them to operate. The devil is a legalist and seeks permission so that permission has to be denied. Ask Holy Spirit to do whatever needs to be done to awaken people and get them saved. Give God agreement to send billions of hosts and angels to tear down whatever is of the enemy and build up what is of the Kingdom of God. So then you are not directly taking on a principality yourself, you are asking Jesus to do what He does and you are giving your mouth and agreement with authority in Him on earth. This is the partnership Jesus PAID for us to have with Him! It’s all about agreement and you are permitted to speak out loud that you reject all the plans of the enemy known and unknown, you can list them as God leads you to, and then agree with all of God’s plans known and unknown and command what He has spoken for this time to manifest and that all not of Him be destroyed because with that you are aligning with whatever He in Heaven has spoken over the earth Isaiah 55:11 and ask Him to send the Heavenly Armies to bring that to pass!! Ask Him to prepare and raise up the ecclesia, His Body to do our part in ruling/occupying and bringing in the harvest for Him until we go Home. Always claim His protection, peace, love, sound mind and every other benefit Jesus paid for you!! God bless all God’s people in Jesus Mighty Name and may we all be strong in Him who IS our STRENGTH and SAFE PLACE!! Lord Jesus, I reject all things of the devil and give complete agreement with You God in all You want to do and everyone You have chosen to use whether I understand completely what you are doing or not. I ask Daddy God in Jesus name for You to tear down all works of darkness and all that has exalted itself against You. Expose it and bring it to JUSTICE Lord God Almighty!! Send the angels and host by the billions to accomplish Your plans on earth as it is in Heaven and raise up Your Kingdom on earth for Jesus alone to be glorified. Set Your heavenly rulers in place as You remove the wicked principalities that have been occupying what is Yours! The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and ALL that dwell therein! WE receive and command all that You have spoken for this time to commence in Jesus Name! We give You full agreement to remove all that has operated against Your will and we call in the harvest and establishment of Your Kingdom! Amen!!

Articles like this are great to raise awareness and better yet, sharing Christian outlooks towards the problem is the most effective thing that can be done period. As to why a government bureau would do this, one need look no further than it being part of a Democrat administration. The LGBT agenda has been to leave no stone unturned for decades, they infiltrate everywhere and make things like gender identity the core of their mission, as if it can replace God at the center of human life. But that’s what they’re doing and why and Republicans have for the most part just sat back quietly all those decades and have hardly ever matched the effort. Same for most “Christians” who just don’t want to be bothered, even when their childrens’ souls are being taken over by evil.

Before you RUN from all these scenarios, (and may I say running away is not courageous, since you are asking God for courage) CONFRONT YOUR CHURCH DURING A SERVICE, NOT IN A BACK ROOM. USE THE WORD OF GOD. YOUR opinion matters not. God’s word matters ALL. CONFRONT YOUR “FRIENDS” HEAD ON. Have a discussion, again, be versed in God’s Word and use it. You are dealing with demons of doubt, denial and defeat. AND FEAR. Learn out how to cast out these demons and do it. Anyone that is not aligning with God’s Word is on satan’s side. There are only 2 sides. You are in a WAR. Put on the full armor and meet the enemy head on.

Thank you for the information in this article – the CDC is not trustworthy at all. They lied to us about the virus and the vaccine and they are lying now in regards to everything connected with this “LGBTQ inclusivity and gender education policies” for schools. These words and “programs” just provide cover and attempt to legitimize the destructive actions they are taking/things they are doing to our children in our public schools right in front of us under the guise of “inclusivity and/or health care or social/emotional learning” or whatever fancy, benign sounding names they give these programs that are destroying children physically, emotionally, mentally, socially, and ultimately spiritually.
Seeds of doubt are planted in children who are in the years of self discovery and growth. Children who would never question their identity as male or female now do as they are indoctrinated into the lies of these false teachings. When we don’t know the truth – we will believe the lie, any lies put forth. The truth that we are created in God’s image, created male and female by His perfect design and plan for humanity to be fruitful and multiply, His perfect design for the family, “for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to His wife – God’s plan and design for us is perfect, – of course we have messed it up since the fall – but His perfection is still in us as we are “wonderfully and fearfully made” in His image and as His children. This “gender” education of our children is all lies, destroying their identity and who they are created to be – asking children to be their own gods and to remake themselves in whatever image they choose from among the LGBTQIA2S+ (I don’t know what the latter letters stand for?) options presented to them – all before they have a chance to be children and then reach adulthood and what used to be “the age of consent” (do we still have that?) it used to be a legal term.
All based on lies – hormone therapy and the “gender affirming surgeries” (a false name for body mutilating surgeries on minors – whatever happened to “first do no harm?) not reversable – the testimonies of those that have “detransitioned” are silenced. We are going to see a sterile generation – which is what the population control Gates followers want, plus the destruction of the nuclear family, which is the building block of any stable society. But this is the goal, the breakdown of society and government stepping in to fill the void and take over. Godly principles are the only ones that work, that produce good, life giving results – but that truth is suppressed. God Himself said His plans “are to prosper us and not to harm us – to give us hope and a future.” But when we no longer remember or acknowledge the Truth – which is God’s living, eternal Word, then we are susceptible to and will believe the lie – any lie put forth by man, like CRT, like BLM, like the lies of these new gender ideologies. All under the banner of being inclusive or caring or just – when in fact they result in just the opposite things happening. We are not being asked to be “inclusive” or non-judgmental -we are being asked to celebrate, to promote, to elevate, to prioritize, to worship the profane and the false. Only knowing the truth of God’s word and acting and speaking in accordance with that can show us the way out of the maze of these lies which hold so many hostage. Ironically, God is the true Author or God of D.E.I. (post – “the God of D.E.I.” at http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com) Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life . . .” it is His truth that will defeat these lies, His truth that will lead us into His light and it is His truth that ultimately sets us free.

Wonderful article! My question to you as well to those opposed to our Government – Is prayer enough, Gideon destroyed the enemy? I believe it imight be the only answer. God has put the earth. In our hands, yes we let this happen on our watch, should we not end it? Has Civilizations brought us to a point of costing us our Nation, our Families, our very own Children, rather than fight and tear down the enemies?
I’m afraid I just don’t know if Prayer is enough, yes we need prayer but do we not need action? I don’t know. Very troubled!

God, most of the time, uses people who are in agreement with Him to be used, people He knows He can trust! We do have a responsibility and we MUST be in alignment with Him for what He alone wants!! Let us do ONLY what God leads us to do but do well what He leads us! Hallelujah to the MOST HIGH GOD, KING JESUS!! AMEN! Remember brothers and sisters, our God knew this was going to happen and already has a plan to destroy all of it for He KNOWS what the devil will do before the devil knows what it will do!! That’s why He is up in Heaven LAUGHING right NOW!! They are falling into a trap, and they will NOT remain for this has been a fight against God and His ways BUT GOD ALWAYS WINS!!!! Be encouraged because WE WIN!!!

Father God,
Thank you for bringing this evil to our attention. We ask you forgiveness for the sins of this nation, please forgive me for any part I played in this just by allowing things to progress without intercession.
As my son Daniel is a school teacher, you know how personal this is to me. I pray that you would show him and expose him to the lies that the enemies are trying to put through the education system through evil agencies such as the CDC and the NEA.
I pray you put a stop to their agenda, Lord, and open the educators eyes to the truth that our children’s upbringing belongs to the parents not to the educators. I pray that the parents and the teachers would return to Family values and a biblical worldview, which is all supported by the Constitution. I pray move upon our lawmakers to make right decisions based on your commands Lord and the Bible.
Continue to expose the three letter agencies that are ruling our nation behind the scenes, bring out in the open the injustice, the squashing of our civil liberties, and their attempt to destroy free speech. Move our nation and our hearts back to you God and may we follow your commandments and not the world’s.
In Jesus Name. Amen

Jesus, Strengthen and equip all educators today. Guide them in a righteous and wise manner to instruct in principled, creative and non-biased techniques. Let them not grow weary in well doing and grant them the courage to stand for truth and righteousness and to stand against the schemes of darkness. In Your powerful name, we bind all forces that are working to hijack our system of education by forcing agendas related to identity confusion and sexuality that are against Your plans and purposes for human life. We ask for heaven’s intervention to close those doors and to open the doors for educational institutions to return to their rightful purpose. With your blood that sanctifies, we cover all policy makers, planners, teachers, parents and students who are resisting this agenda. Grant them wisdom, favor, restraint and courage according to the kind intention of your will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Father, in the name of Jesus, intervene in our society quickly and decisively to deal with these issues the people and groups responsible for pushing them on our schools to our children, act and judge according to your will, and give your church the wisdom, discernment, words, timing, set ups and other tools we need to do exploits in the power of your Holy Spirit in these areas according to your will. Taking it upon ourselves and acting impulsively or even decidedly is only weak works of the flesh without first seeking you in serious prayer and fasting for all the tools of wisdom and influence we need. Father we don’t need carnal or well meaning Christians getting in the flesh and causing more issues like we have seen with the abortion issue and school boards, what we need are anointed believers who hear your voice and move in your power and your spirit. Thank you for hearing our prayers on these things, Protect the children of the world and especially those innthe church, from these evil influences. THANK YOU.

Telling them to hide things related to this mess is even MORE wrong. Lord Jesus, please, reign in satan. You are allowing him to have way too much influence and power. The floodgates are open, when we need You to shut them. This evil nonsense is going to ruin our children. How will they EVER know right from wrong, as long as this evil is allowed to continue?

    yes, so true – our children and ourselves need to know right from wrong – only God’s living, eternal Word can teach us that and protect us. God’s Word is the antidote to our current situation, whether individually, as a nation or in our schools. If we do not know the Truth – we will believe the lie (or lies). God’s word is truth, Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life . . .” It is God’s Truth that will set each and every one of us free and our nation free, if we return to Him and abide by His ways. It is His Truth that will instruct, protect and set free our children from the lies of the enemy (the father of lies) the lies that otherwise hold them hostage. Deuteronomy 6:6-9 – God’s Truth is our only defense against these lies. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com

    Father forgive us, we have allowed this abomination to grow unchecked, with our lack of love for the captives, for our wee faith in You, for our fear of the enemy and our wee faith in You, even blaming You for not doing enough fast enough….it’s not new, but it is to us, we don’t want to see anymore children suffer, be crippled and mutilated, in body and soul. We do ask in Jesus name, You crush these spirits of homosexuality, trans ‘confusion’ to dust, expose the lie for all to see, even young children, like the little guileless kid in the story of the naked Emperor. Do give each of us tender hearts to hear You, to recognize opportunities to speak truth in love, to rescue the perishing, to say with Your Spirit to lost sinners, whether children victimized or captives doing the victimizing, ‘Come. Come to The Savior.’

WHY is the cdc pushing sexual perversion on our school age children?? The most evil of administrations has no business corrupting our children in the name of a political agenda. All this does is promote intolerance of this deviant agenda.

Father, give us the understanding in the Spirit and the boldness to bring down the altars of lies, of confusion and demonic presence in our society in general. May we follow your guidance on how to pray at all times and I bind the spirit of fear that wants to take a hold of your Church so that we can remain silent in the Name of Jesus.

We, the body of Christ, His church are called by God to reflect His heavenly kingdom in our own earthly realm. This includes being involved on every available level to be clearly showing that while God (therefore we) is love He HATES all evil – so must we, but our warfare is the use of our Spiritual weapons, not responding or acting out in our flesh.

Father, give us courage and strategies to pull down the pagan gods of our time. Break the evil cords that seek to bind our children to false gods and systems of demons. We say NO, in Jesus’ name. By the power of His precious blood, we break the hold Satan has over governmental agencies in the USA, and in the world. Raise up godly parents and teachers, grandparents and pastors all over the world to stand firmly against the agenda of this administration and the CDC. May those employees, even within the agencies connected to CDC, boldly rebuke the ideas and evil agendas purposed. May we all be strong in the Lord and the power of His Might!

I am appalled at the CDC! and the NIH! How dare they, in Jesus’ Name.
Protect our children, Lord, with the arms of your love and hide them in the shelter of your wings. Give parents your wisdom, guidance and courage to find other ways to educate their kids. Uncover the Q Chat website that their children may be using and enable to them to discipline their children and explain to them what is happening when they watch it. Give us as intercessors profound courage to stand in the gap! Amen.

In regards to “the Church not becoming involved with the cultural and political issues of our day”
as so many are doing, I would implore everyone reading this reply to order Eric Metaxas book “Letter to the American Church “ (139 pages). He does an amazing job of comparing the German church of the 1930s to the American Church today. The German church didn’t want to be political but they never dreamt what would happen. Pastors should be looked to in order to know what’s wrong. The role of the church is to speak against evil. This read will absolutely prepare you to speak up.

    Excellent point Mamie! We, The Church, represent God and His will, His Truth on earth. When we do nothing against the tide of evil moving to tear down all that is good and true, we become a useless entity that panders to politics and idols. We become complicit in the destruction of Life and Righteousness, with our Children paying the price of our ambivalence. Father help us to shine your Light yet not back down from the Good Fight! The soul of our Nation hangs in the balance! Nothing can be more critical at this time.

      Amen! Pray! Be still and KNOW I AM! Listen to Him and do what He says, as He leads.
      We throw away precious gifts from our Poppa God and will smell like smoke when we get to heaven…cause instead of having those priceless crowns from Him for doing the good works He created for us to do in the power of His Spirit, worship Him with by throwing them at His feet, we trade them for the ‘rubbish’ we did instead, for that ‘hay and straw’ will be burned up at the Great White Throne. Don’t miss doing His will, His way!

Lord, stir our hearts to yield to your strategic timing, delivery and location to courageously stand against these unleashed demonic God’s masking behind lies and deception, in the power and blood of Jesus Christ.

If your own family members are being deceived the hurt and alarm of retaliation is a source to run into the these truths presented and take orders from Our King Jesus. Return of the gods by Jonathan Cahn is a timely book describing these endtime revisiting of the demonic strategies.
Arise in power to stand firm, speak the truth in love, guard & protect your children and grandchildren against public system’s saturation.

9 months ago I brought the DVD In His Image to my church leadership. It is one of the most on the compassionate and Biblical DVD’s on this topic. It was approved by leadership to be shown to the church. 9 months later, they refused to show it stating, “it is not the time.” I sent back an email to my leadership. “Not the time when 39% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ? When young females and males are getting treatment that may leave them steril for life as well as a host of other harmful side effects? Not time when our pre-K students are being taught that they can be a boy, a girl, both or neither? Not time, when drag queens read to children all over this nation? We have very little time left!

      We as a church, along with the pastor’s leadership, watched the “In His Image” film to be abreast of the evil manipulations of the enemy upon our children and youth. It was very well received and also because we have a young lady who is the daughter of one of our faithful families, who believed she was a man and went so far as to have a mastectomy; but praise the Lord, through the prayers and fasting of the congregation and her parents not affirming her male name, after 8 years, she is now married to a Christian young man and they have a beautiful life together serving the Lord. She was in that movie, In His Image. She now speaks wherever she’s asked, through the leadership of the Holy Spirit, on her journey through that darkness, proclaiming His transformation of her life. As a church and as parents, or grandparents, we cannot “stick our heads in the sand” like an ostrich and think “it will go away.” The enemy is working hard at deception and lies and influencing people through this “tolerance and fear” tool. It is a very well produced film and documentary and an effective resource from American Family Association.

    Pray Connie. Don’t be discouraged. Trust Poppa God’s perfect timing. Your church leadership may be in sync with Him and even if the are not yet, you can be sure He will get their attention AND hold them accountable for every choice they make….all the more reason to pray for them, right?

We lift up our hands in praise that we walk with our Triune God that is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent!!
Place us Lord in places where we can be mouthpieces for the Truth. And we trust You have equipped all who You call Yours for this time on our earth with Your boldness and Your influence.
Help us to address the issues with confidence and love as we speak the name of Jesus to our broken world. May eyes be opened and ears unplugged as the darkness receives the light and the Savior of the world makes crooked paths straight. Rescue and deliver those who are acting like Saul and slaughtering our future with fear and confusion.
Thank you for the IFA that informs us of such tragedies in our nation and our world so we can know and use all opportunities our holy Father sets before us to fight all battles that are opposed to Your will and Your ways.
Have mercy on our nation Lord and use us to overt this attack with Your wisdom and Your strength!
In Jesus’ precious name,
Amen

This is so alarming and detestable! I am outraged that they are participating in this yet making a statement that they don’t hold to what they are promoting.! It is an outright lie to say you do t know what gender a child is. My prayer is that God will use us all to tear down those lies in Jesus name!

Two years ago my husband who travels as an Evangelist developed a message Do Elections and Government Matter to Christians. As we travel the country, we have been met with great appreciation. It is the pulpit that has lost its boldness.

My prayer is: Lord wake up the leadership in the pulpits. Bring them into alignment with your purposes for America.

Its so awful that the Government has NO business in these local school affairs. Its way beyond absurd that the Government is promoting pornography and recruitment into human sex trafficking of children through the LGTBQ agenda of sexual exposure and transgender displays to children in public schools sponsored by the criminal NEA (National Extortion Association) of the Teachers’ Unions.

I worked for Child Protective Services in WA State directly with police as an embedded social worker. We investigated people for doing the same things the CDC and schools are now promoting. God knows all about this.
And the little ones need to be protected.

Amen 🙏 thank you Lord. I’ve been thinking and talking about all of this without the scripture to back it up. My father is a pastor and he and his church have not made me so proud this past three years. I myself have been out of the church since I left high school and was a completely brainwashed person until the last 3 years jilted me awake. I still have always believed in God and prayed but no longer had a close relationship with him or the church. I am growing closer and closer to the Lord again now. Thank you for this. I’ve felt very alone even among many Christian family and friends the last few years. I appreciate this article very much. Please continue to provide these.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, what a beautiful Name it is, the Name of Jesus. At Your Name, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that You Jesus are Lord. Lord of all, King of Kings, we invite You, we implore You to occupy the nation’s classrooms, educational settings, libraries, school administration offices, and every office in the CDC and NIH. Give supernatural strength and courage to administrators and teachers to stand up to this agenda to indoctrinate adults and children to the devil’s agenda. And now, Lord, just as Samson destroyed the temple of Dagon, Lord, tear down and destroy the pillars tat support this dogma and agenda. There is a time to tear down and a time to build. Now is the time to tear down in order to rebuild. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I declare that those who promote this evil dogma will lose their voice, their influence, their positions of power, and are removed from their places and positions. In Jesus’ Name and for His glory. Amen.

If you are forced into answering questions such as these, give them the exact answer they want. Then, work in the background to undermine their perversions. Remember, this is war, asymmetric war to be specific, and your job is to wage it effectively.

Excellent article!
It reminds me of the time of Daniel when Jerusalem was besieged and…God handed them over to Babylon. Why did God hand them over? They had fallen back into idol worship, worshipping many gods especially Baal and Asherah. (Money and sex)
Nothing new under the sun.
But Daniel, even in captivity and forced to learn the ways of a foreign world that he now lived in, he stayed strong in the sovereign Lord and was to become a great champion of faith and influencer. Praying that we can do the same in a similar culture.

God is good. I recently started reading Judges and it has been speaking to me, about our time and current culture. Last night in our prayer meeting I heard myself speak that we need to tear down the Asher poles and Baal alters. Not sure I’ve ever prayed that in a meeting before. But can not ignore the significance, especially after this article as well.

Kingdom work is to reveal Jesus to a lost generation. Jesus is the Truth, so we need to expose and correct the lies with the truth given to us through the Bible. So that repentance can happen because Jesus is the only way. Then we have eternal Life in complete freedom unashamed of our past and sins in this time and the next. Hallelujah!

Father I ask that you continue to expose the enemy’s deceptive tactics. Give your people a hunger and thirst for righteousness and protect our children. Give Christian educators the boldness to speak out against this evil indoctrination. Protect them and their careers. Give me the wisdom as a professional development specialist on how to train educators and school leaders to wisely communicate Biblical principles and truth around these topics. Bring conviction on employees within the NIH and CDC who are dispensing these lies regarding gender in the name of inclusivity. Break our hearts for what breaks yours.

Dear Father of all, I am at a loss for words to even address this assault against the innocence of children. It is as if all hell has been loosed against the most innocent among us. Forgive us for 50 years of abortion on demand by our laws. I praise you for our Supreme Court Justices who abolished the national Roe v Wade removing it as the law of the land. Forgive us as the President and others still fight to keep killing babies in the womb legal. We have told the evil one we don’t want our children and he said I will take them and to our shame he has taken them to all sorts of evil. Heavenly Father, forgive us, we stand covered in the blood and rape of the most innocent among us. Forgive your church for sitting silently, forgive us for electing those who carry out these abominations against our babies. We ask for Rachem – mercy for those in danger in the womb and for those in danger from a nation gone mad. In Jesus Name
