On April 10, 2019, two thousand plus people packed into the Washington State Capitol building to protest SB 5395. The “comprehensive sex-ed bill” up for a final vote before becoming law, required all public schools in the state to teach “comprehensive” sex education and gender theory in all grades, beginning with kindergarten. With complete backing from Planned Parenthood, the LGBT lobby, and the state’s educational lobby, the bill was sure to pass. But this day, things didn’t go as planned, God’s people, prepared in prayer, watched from the gallery as SB 5395 was defeated. What happened in Washington State is an example for those of us who see America’s educational system trending more toward social issues at the expense of basic life skills. We will quell this trend if God’s people pray.

Today there is a call to a prophetic group who will tend our children and keep them from spiritual harm as well as physical harm. This person carries the mantel of the Shamar Prophet.

In Genesis 4:19, Cain asks God is he his brother’s keeper. The Hebrew word for keep is “Shamar.” Cain was to “Shamar” his brother, which meant he was to guard, to keep, be a watchman over his brother. A Shamar Prophet is someone with a Godly Spiritual awareness and who will boldly take a stand against injustice, ungodliness, spiritual abuse, physical abuse, and mental abuse. This person knows by the Spirit what is not only wrong at the moment, but also what is wrong for the future.

Months before Washington State’s SB5395 came up for a vote, a small group of intercessors, out of deep concern for the children in their schools, began conference calls to pray over the condition of Washington State’s educational system.

From their calls, three strategies emerged:

1. Research that revealed the root causes of decisions made by state legislators and educational elites that brought their school system to the point where the thought of presenting a perverted sex ed program, would be acceptable.
2. A comprehensive prayer plan based on their research emerged. They put together decrees and faith-filled prayers that they then distributed across the state.
3. United with like-minded believers, they paid no attention to those who were not in agreement. Those who traveled to the state capitol on April 10^th were all on the same page that SB5395 should be defeated. 

Shamar Prophets sit, often hidden, in every church and every denomination. They know the power of God and how to exercise their authority to bring down strongholds. Now is the time to pray and call them to come forward for the task at hand. They are needed at this time in the history of our nation to confront the evils in the cultural Mountain of Education.
