I Prayed have prayed
Father, we pray against the challenges to free speech made by this bill. Prevent it from passing, God, and keep us and our speech safe.
Reading Time: < 1 minute

If it becomes law, this bill could have disastrous implications on free speech. The bill is about “white supremacy,” which is racist and wrong. But the definitions may allow prosecution of whites for disagreeing with CRT or open borders. Let’s pray about this.

From Headline USA. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, recently introduced a bill, H.R. 61, that would criminalize white people speaking out against illegal immigration, Red State reported. …

 

The bill, were it to pass, would carve out a new type of crime, a “white supremacy-inspired hate crime,” which the bill defines very broadly. …

Its explicitly stated purpose is “to prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime and to amend title 18, United States Code, to expand the scope of hate crimes.”

In other words, it is a leftist attempt to redefine “hate crimes” to include the activities of white people, including social media posts or public messages promoting “replacement theory”, or “hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group.” …

What do you think of this bill? Share your thoughts and prayers below, and share this article so others can know and pray.

I think we should contact our US Congress representatives asking them to disapprove this terrible Bill. The bill itself is Racist! I pray that the majority of the Congress will recognize this and destroy such discrimination. As a side note, given the thousands.and thousands of DNA tests that have been done and the many ancestry searches that have been done, I think the results of both show that we are all a mixture of several races. We join our prayers on this issue!

Dear Jesus,
We should be allowed to protect freedom of speech and not promote communism. This bill is a detriment to our country and everyone should be allowed their opinion. We need you to protect our innocent and hard-working citizens by closing our border tightly so no drugs, weapons, and crime can harm us. We rebuke the satanism that this bill is trying to push. We believe anything is possible and that our Heavenly Father can restore peace to our land. Amen

This legislation is another pile of garbage that we have come to expect from the looney lib-left part of our now failing and chaotic civilisation. The problem is that we have been gulled into electing those as ‘law-makers’ (confusion generators, more like!) who even give this kind of proposed legislation brain room. How stupid are we?

For years & years black have been killed by white peoples and they never went to jail. So I can see why this bill has come to be. What has been done to blacks for many years now it seems the white race is reaping what they have sown. But vengeance is mine says the Lord Matthew 12:18✌🏾

Dear Lord we lift up Ms. Sheila Jackson Lee and all the leaders in our land to you that You may show Yourself to them. In this way they will know from where they came and to whom they are truly accountable. We decree that any and all malicious efforts to harm or endanger the welfare of our nation come to nothing. We place our trust in You alone Lord Jesus.

Those who are disconnected from the Lord who is the source of wisdom are easily deceived and their minds are darkened. They are wise in their own eyes and do what is right according to their own insight. They would like to rid the world of hate but they cannot. Father, if we confess our sins to You, then You promise to forgive us and clean out our hearts from all unrighteousness. Only You can cleanse our hearts from hatred and malice. Let us take this opportunity to tell the Truth to those who are floundering in deception and fear. And to BE without malice and unrighteous anger ourselves. In Jesus’ Name we ask this.

Where do we begin with the top priorities facing our nation today? When reading and hearing the constant onslaught of evil bill, edicts or resolutions, it’s easy to become frightened with what can we do. PRAY!PRAY!PRA!Y! God is our wraparound shield of protection and help. Thank you for the information on new bills being introduced. Evil as they are, we must remember “they know not what they do”. Jesus is evermore our example of truth in love.

You are doing the best thing here, and it’s taking it to the Lord himself. When I see our country today, it’s like I’m in a dream & can’t wake up. What’s wrong is right & what’s right is no longer excepted. After what this Nation went through in the 50s & 60s with riots, why would we want to go back to it? We must learn from our mistakes. Father you say in your Word Forgive one another as you have forgiven us for Christ’s sake. This is a hate bill, an unforgivness bill which must be stopped in Jesus name, Amen.

The first thing we need to do is remove Sheila Jackson Lee from office! Who does she think she is there to represent? Only black people? This bill shows that in the oath she took to represent the people of her district, she lied! I’m sure she is not in an all black district, so therefore she wants to persecute whites not only around our country but in her district? I bind every lie coming from this Lee woman’s mouth and hands and command that she be removed from office quickly by GOD in JESUS NAME! Amen!

So unfortunately the entire point is so missed. Isn’t establishing the “White Only Crimes” a hate crime against the WHITES? Is this not calling the kettle BLACK? Oh how little one sees their own short comings. Really what it boils down to is that people are not hated; it’s the people’s freedom being taken away. Also it’s the imbalance of Justice being exercised. The laws being established to exclude others. We need America to continue to be the land of safety and freedom.
Lord God, for it is for freedom which you have set us free; so help us to stand firm and not to be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Please remind our government leaders our fore father’s original intent of our Constitution “ FREEDOM!” in Jesus name I pray.

Lord God, please help people to think I’m a healthy and wholesome way. You are the LORD God of all races, and You have created them in Your image LORD. Open the eyes of these people to acknowledge that They were made in the image of God. Non is superior, non is inferior. All are equal. And it depends on each one’s choice how to live. You will bring judgment based upon that, not on the basis of one’s skin color. God, ease help these hate mongers wake up!

We ask You, Lord, to open their eyes to the evil they are propagating and turn their hearts toward You. We come against HR 61, introduced by Sheila Jackson Lee, and decree that it will not become law. We pray that You will remove all those in government positions who refuse to turn from their wicked ways. Give favor, strength, and wisdom to those who are doing Your will. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen

Lord, we stand against this Luciferian Agenda of Marxist Revolution. WE cry out for the re-establishment of the Biblical principles this nation was founded upon. Give our law-makers who know the truth courage. Courage enough to stand on their convictions and prevent this bill from passing. Give our lawmakers courage and the Fear of the Lord to see this clearly for what it is, racism and Marxist organizing. Bring a swift end to it; let’s its evil workings be exposed and let it fail miserably. Remove those from office who would violate our constitution in such a way. Let them be brought to justice for lawlessness and failing to protect and defend the constitution of the United States. Send a revival Lord Jesus! Let a spiritual awakening cause the scales to fall from the eyes of Americans from sea to shining sea in Jesus’s name.

Jackson represents a certain area of Houston & she is known for the occasional smile on her face while venom flows through her every thought & bloodstream. She continues to get voted in because of the deception that cloaks so many in her voting districts. She is everything that is wrong with politics & DC poison personified. I would ask others, in unity, to begin prayer for her removal & for a real servant of God & people to replace her.
Lord, we pray that Sen. Jackson would have her eyes opened by You…to see You & the sin of hatred she holds onto. On our behalf, we ask forgiveness for her. We pray that the people of her district would rise up against this poisonous attitude & that they would have their eyes opened. We pray for her removal from office as You see fit. We desire to see a miraculous change of heart but if there is not a change of heart soon Lord, then raise up a “warrior for God” against her to replace her in office. We pray for revival for the area she presently represents and for people’s hearts to be awakened to You Lord. Amen.

Reminds me of this…
The Quote
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The fact that the public servants that hold office in congress-, would even allow this kind of stuff to be even looked at, or considered in any way.. is testimony to how far we have fallen from our foundations.. and how far we have to go.. to recover-,still,.. if this nation is going to survive

Racism is racism. When you make decisions and laws based on the color of ones skin it is racist. We know that the Bible clearly speaks out against this.

This proposed bill is ludicrous and intends to specifically vilify any FREE SPEECH comments made specifically by white people against what is happening at our borders or immigration in general. The bill is prejudicial and singles out one group of people to punish. It clearly goes against the First Amendment rights and proposes to give special rights to all other races of people. As Christians, we need to speak out against bills like these as they are being proposed by people who are trying to destroy Christians and the majority of Americans.

    Because they’re trying to convince the American public that racism can only go in one direction — which definitionally is racist itself.

The framers saw people who thought like this as totalitarian dictators as a danger to freedom and liberty who are greedy and want to monopolize the system to benefit only them and people Who think and look like like them. It’s not a government of the people by the people and for the people. Only a government for them so they can cover up their own crimes evils and sins like abortion and selling baby parts and helping their drug dealing buddies keep pushing their drugs on kids so they can continue to brainwash them and manipulate and control them even more all for the love of money the root of all evil! These are the types of abuses of power the framers warned us about and can only protect us from nutcases like this by like and equal separation of powers Intended by the founding fathers. No branch of government or party democrats or republicans or the president or the house the senate and congress should ever all all power invested in their position and platform or else the we the American people are enslaved by them and in danger of the government and this should not ever be allowed because then there is no liberty it mob rule no justice no laws but my way or the highway mob rule.

This bill is racist in itself. These people have lost their minds. I am a black person and I view this as an attempt to bring back the evils of prejudice and racism. It is not only some white people that are racist but there are some black people just as racist. I refuse to let the evils of the past keep me in bondage and determine my future because others are stuck there. We have made great strides in race relations. The fact that the left wants to use my people to further their agenda makes me angry. This is just another tool to try to destroy America. Divide and conquer. Pray in the spirit because the holy spirit knows how to truly pray to breakdown these strongholds. Spiritual warfare is needed now.

For the good of all Americans we must intercede on behalf of those who harbor generational spirits of bitterness and hatred; and pray that the corruption and all the plans of the enemy are exposed, so that their eyes will be open to the truth before the next election.
