In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital from the First Liberty Institute that included Kennedy’s resignation letter, he claims that the Bremerton School District retaliated against him after he was reinstated. …

“[I]t is apparent that the reinstatement ordered by the Supreme Court will not be fully followed after a series of actions meant to diminish my role and single me out in what I can only believe is retaliation by the school district,” Kennedy wrote. …

“I believe I can best continue to advocate for constitutional freedom and religious liberty by working from outside the school system so that is what I will do,” Kennedy wrote. “I will continue to work to help people understand and embrace the historic ruling at the heart of our case.” …

Hiram Sasser, executive general counsel at First Liberty Institute, which represented Kennedy during his legal battle, said the organization would investigate Kennedy’s claims of retaliation. …

Only God knows our heart, and my prayer is that we will prat fervently that we will be heard by the Almighty and He will heal our land. Repentance must come before healing can take place.
In Jesus’s name Amen

Father God, You are El Shaddai, “The All-Sufficient One.” Thank you for giving wisdom, strength and understanding to Coach Kennedy. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for leading this man & protecting him. Thank you, that Coach Kennedy has convictions about the legal battle he faced. May Your truth, justice and loving-kindness guard his heart in Christ Jesus. I speak Jesus over this man’s life and his relationships. May salvation, healing and deliverance come to those who are not in agreement with the reinstatement ordered by the Supreme Court. Stir up in Coach Kennedy the verse from Philippians 3:14, “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” & from Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens him. Let him know Your hand of deliverance in his life. Your will be done, in Jesus’ Name. You are exalted and magnified for such a time as this. I love you, Jesus.

Lord, I pray in Jesus Christ name for brother Kennedy. That your word says Lord, that greater is he? That is in him than he was in the world. That it God is for him who could be against him. Your word also says Lord where there’s 2 or 3 or more. Gathered in your name that you’re in the midst of it. I pray that he wins this case. I claimed in declarate in Jesus Christ’s name I pray Amen.

Sue them again for retaliation and creating a hostile workplace! Only when these “woke” school districts are bankrupted will these things stop!

Lord, thank you for this man standing for truth. Please give him courage and wisdom as he proceeds in his next steps in life. Protect him and his family. Direct him. Fight his battles for him. Please use his story to stir others to fight for truth and religious liberty in our country. To you, who does immeasurably more than we even ask, is the glory. Amen.

Facther, I lift up Coach Kennedy. Protect him and his family. Place him where he can serve you effectively. Give the leaders of the school repentance for trying to harm him and soften their hearts to seek you. Thank you for protecting our religious freedom.

Father,
We lift up Coach Kennedy to Your protection. We cry out to You, God of justice and righteousness to fight for him and for all your people who love you and proclaim Your glorious Name!

We weep for our Country, Lord and ask You to deliver us from evil. We bind all the demonic powers coming against You, the Truth and Light of the world, Lord Jesus! You have seared us in heavenly places and we loose all the mighty weapons of warfare of Holy Spirit.

We will stand firm and put on the whole armor of You, our amazing God: Truth, Righteousness, proclaiming the good news of the Gospel, holding firm to the shield of faith, putting on the mind of Christ Jesus and attacking effectively with the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God!

We speak Your Name and loose all the fruits of the Spirit to abound in Your chosen ones, that Your love abounding in us will overcome the darkness choking our USA and, displace this darkness with light.

For You are the fountain of Life; in Your light we see light!! Glory and honor and power are Yours, O God Almighty!

I pray all this and more by the Spirit in the power above all, that Name of Jesus the Christ. Amen
