Lorie Smith faces death threats and harassment over her beliefs on marriage that were protected by the Supreme Court.
From The Epoch Times. Lorie Smith, the Colorado website designer at the heart of the Supreme Court’s landmark 303 Creative v. Elenis June 30 decision upholding every American’s freedom of speech, is receiving a barrage of increasingly intense harassment, including serious death threats, following the 6–3 ruling.

“Especially in the last week, despite the victory last week, I do continue to face horrific attacks, people saying they hope I would be raped; they want to burn my house down; they know where I live, and they want to come kill me and my family,” Ms. Smith told The Epoch Times on July 5 in an exclusive interview. …
Ms. Smith said the intensity of the harassment reached a crescendo as the ruling was imminent during the High Court’s summer decision week at the end of June.
“Just last week, my website crashed with over 10 million attacks, messages saying things that would make your skin crawl,” Ms. Smith said. “It’s sad to me because, at the end of the day, when I am standing to protect those individuals who have submitted those hateful responses, standing to protect me and them as well, of course, it’s heartbreaking.”
Ms. Smith’s case arose from her concerns that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission officials would use the state’s anti-discrimination statute to force her to create websites that convey speech with which she disagrees, especially concerning traditional versus same-sex marriage. …
Ms. Smith lost at the federal district court, but she appealed to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals of the United States. When the appeals court ruled against her, Ms. Smith appealed to the Supreme Court, which accepted the case strictly for the purpose of deciding if a state government can use its laws “to compel an individual to create speech she does not believe.” …
Asked if she would do it over again, Ms. Smith told The Epoch Times “Absolutely, absolutely I would. Freedom of speech is worthy of protecting, it’s worthy of protecting not just for us here today, but I think about the next generation who might grow up to be graphic designers and speech creators; they may grow up to have a difference of opinion on marriage. …

Father God, we pray you would build a hedge of protection around Lorie and her family. And around her website, so that she can continue to do business. Enable her through your Spirit to respond in love to these attacks, and give her peace in knowing that you will use all this persecution for her good and your glory, in Jesus’ name.
Thank God! Fighting spiritual warfare at the Supreme Court and finding success! Yes!! AMEN 🙏!!
PSeems like some people have all day to accuse their neighbor of some trivial offense to themselves. Why these people run for public office to cause misery is a mystery to me. Love and peace be to you Ms. Smith.
I pray for next generations of Christian youth in West…Holy Spirit and Angels as tall as World Trade Center- protecting little King David with slingshot and white special stone pebble to pummel Goliath- protect our generations of Christian kids in West,and all kids over the world.

Of course, those people that are LGBTQ and those that support them are of the devil. The enemies of Israel met their doom as God directed. Therefore, I pray these people meet their doom or come to Christ in a flying hurry and give up the error of their ways.
I pray for her according to Psalms 91 and declare that the Lord is with her in Jesus name.
I could never support a group that thinks it is fine with murdering someone.
A song. A psalm of Asaf: God, don’t remain silent! Don’t stay quiet, God, or still; because here are your enemies, causing an uproar; those who hate you are raising their heads, craftily conspiring against your people, consulting together against those you treasure. They say, “Come, let’s wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Isra’el be remembered no more!” With one mind they plot their schemes; the covenant they have made is against you — the tents of Edom and the Yishma‘elim, Mo’av and the Hagrim, G’val, ‘Amon and ‘Amalek, P’leshet with those living in Tzor; (Selah) Ashur too is allied with them, to reinforce the descendants of Lot. Do to them as you did to Midyan, to Sisra and Yavin at Vadi Kishon — they were destroyed at ‘Ein-Dor and became manure for the ground. Make their leaders like ‘Orev and Ze’ev, all their princes like Zevach and Tzalmuna, who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s meadows for ourselves.” My God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff driven by the wind. Like fire burning up the forest, like a flame that sets the mountains ablaze, drive them away with your storm, terrify them with your tempest. Fill their faces with shame, so that they will seek your name, Adonai. Let them be ashamed and fearful forever; yes, let them perish in disgrace. Let them know that you alone, whose name is Adonai, are the Most High over all the earth.
Tehillim (Psa) 83:1-19 CJB
Amen Father, in the Name of Jesus, Yeshua The Messiah may Thy KINGDOM come and Thy WILL be done on earth, in these United States, as it is in heaven. Bind the enemy and let loose Thy will and Thy Kingdom, in Jesus’ NAME, The NAME above all names. Amen.
Lord, I just thank You for the Supreme Court decisions this week. We know that Your court is the real Supreme Court, and You are higher and greater than courts here on this earth. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne and You are bringing Your Justice to bear on this land. All glory and honor be yours!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I thank You, Lord, that none of these attacks against this courageous woman will prosper. NO weapon formed against her will prosper. Turn these attacks back on the evil spirits behind the attacks. Send angels to guard her against any harm that would attempt to hurt her in any way. Bless her with Your peace, joy and confidence in Your great power. Father, You are greater than this evil that is in the world. Thank You for making us victorious!
Father, we pray you would protect Lorie Smith. Give her joy that she is persecuted for your sake. May we all have that spirit to stand firm in the face of persecution. Hear her prayers for those who are harrassing her and saying terrible things about her. Continue to give her courage and bless her business.
Father thank for our sister Lorie Sister, for she hears your voice only and has annihilated to work of the dark forces.
No weapons that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shall condemn. This the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, smith the LORD.” Isaiah 54:17
“And I will make thee unto this people fenced Braden wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, smith the LORD.” Jeremiah 15:20
No evil shall befall me. No plague shall come near or my dwelling. He gives His angels charge over me. They keep me in my way (Psalms 91:10-11)
I shall live long to enjoy the work of my hands (Isaiah 65:22)
Lord I pray for total protection over your faithful one, and agree with those who prayed Psalm 91 over her. Thank you for her persistence in appealing to all the courts up to the Supreme Court. I pray your blessing upon her and her family and for the threats to cease in Jesus’ name!
Lord thank you for giving this lady the ability to stand for what is right!! Give her your Divine Protection for her as she goes forward with her life!! In Jesus mighty name!! AMEN & AMEN!!!
We pray that You would protect Lorie and her family from all harm.: Physical, Emotional, Psychological and Spiritual.
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.
Psalms 91:3-8 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.91.3-8.NKJV
Amen
Lord, I pray and decree Psalm 91:1-4 over Lorie and her family.
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
Father, continue to embolden her to stand firm, cover her in your perfect peace.
Thank you for this watchman and the covering of you favor over her and her family.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Thank you Lori for your commitment to the truth and the victory that came forth. We can never give up and we can never give in. We stand firm to the end.
Lord, press a second thought in the minds of those so intent to promote taking life. Let them think about if it is their life to have been taken.
The “right” to do anything evil is pure evil.
