I Prayed have prayed
Lord, help us to boldly support truth where we see it, even if it is not popular.

Editor’s Note: There was a rush on GOYA products over the weekend. Free speech proponents voted with their pocketbook, purchasing GOYA food products to show support of GOYA CEO Bob Unanue who appeared in the Rose Garden for the unveiling of the Trump administration’s Hispanic Prosperity Initiative. His appearance and subsequent positive words about the President unleashed a flood of “cancel culture” sentiment against the CEO and his brand GOYA.

From Just the News:

…The episode illustrated the lightning speed the cancel culture movement can muster.

During remarks at a White House event related to a Hispanic Prosperity Initiative, Unanue hailed his grandfather, who founded Goya in 1936.

“We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder. And that’s what my grandfather did, he came to this country to build, to grow, to prosper. And so we have an incredible builder and we pray, we pray for our leadership, our president and we pray for our country that we will continue to prosper and to grow,” Unanue declared during the event.

The backlash was almost instant.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro, who previously served as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development during the Obama administration, on Thursday urged Americans to “think twice” prior to purchasing Goya’s goods.

From Daily Caller:

“Oh look, it’s the sound of me Googling ‘how to make your own Adobo,’” Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. In a subsequent tweet, Ocasio-Cortez included a recipe for homemade adobo.

Unanue called the pushback against him visiting the White House “suppression of speech.” Unanue said that he was previously invited to the White House for an event hosted by the Obama administration for Hispanic Heritage Month.

“So, you’re allowed to talk good or to praise one president, but you’re not allowed to aid in economic and educational prosperity? And you make a positive comment and all of a sudden, it is not acceptable,” Unanue said.

Unanue said he is not apologizing for his remarks supporting Trump’s economic policy and would not turn down other future invitations.

“I didn’t say that to the Obamas and I didn’t say that to President Trump.”

Fox Business reports that a Virginia man raised $60,000 through GoFundMe to buy Goya products and donate to local food pantries after critics called for the boycott of Goya and it’s CEO.

I have not found Goya at Kroger in weeks, I finally inquired and they said they were not carrying Goya anymore. I will go somewhere else to do all my grocery shopping as I will not support any company that does not support our President. I really hate it as I have been a Kroger shopper all of my life.

I never bought Goya products before unless it was an occasional can of black beans, but I made sure to buy several things on two trips after hearing he was being attacked for just saying what he wanted to. Free speech rights to all, not just some! I will continue to buy Goya whenever possible.

May God raise up more courageous men and women who choose to do the right thing and leave the consequences to God. Evil will prevail if people of peace and justice do not speak up and act out their convictions. May God give us ALL courage to be people to live by the Word of God in our personal and public lives. President Trump has been given great personal fortitude by God to stand against the barrage of evil coming at him. Are we praying for him as God has charged us to do? We must join together in prayer to protect this president who has been standing strong for our freedoms. “Thank you Father God for sending us your man to hold back the tide of evil and give your church an opportunity to wake up and engage before judgement falls on America. Pour out Your Holy Spirit and open the hearts of Americans that they may know You in personal relationship. In judgement remember mercy I pray, in Jesus Christ name, Amen.

I went right out to Kroger and bought rice, beans, cookies and coconut cream. Next, I plan to order some pillows from “My Pillow” CEO Mike Lindell. I take great pleasure in “cancelling” the cancel!

I will stand with this courageous and wise man, Unanue, and will continue to buy GOYA products and encourage others to do so. I’m especially grateful that he won’t back down and cave to the many hypocrites in our land scheming toward the narrowest of thinking.

I needed canned whole jalapeños yesterday, so, I searched and found Goya’s jalapeños, the last one on the shelf! They are fresher and more firm than other more popular brands that I use, a nice change. I’m 3rd Gen. Am. of Mex. descent. I love my heritage, I’m conservative, prolife and pro business!

What the enemy meant for harm the Lord will turn around and bless! We need to keep standing up against this “cancel movement”. There is a strangling spirit at the very root. Its as much spiritual as everything else we see happening with our eyes to harm innocent people working inside these companies.

I love Goya products. I don’t intend to stop buying Goya products because of those oppose to the President of the United States. Namely, President Trump! For those that did not know why you rarely ever hear of the many positive things our God ‘ordained’ President has and is doing. Well, now you know! Especially making decision that benefits our nation and our families… as American citizens! “The powers (authorities) that be are ordained by God.” Sometimes if we’re not careful, we might be going against God’s hand in our ways and doings. {Romans 13:1-2} May God give us wisdom and discernment. May God bless the P.O.T.U.S, his family; the CEO of Goya Foods and its employees. And may God bless everyone one of us and our families. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

I have been stocking my food pantry with extra in preparation for the times ahead, and I will be getting some GOYA products in there now!!! Praise God for this example of courage to stand by what he believes. Praise God for the large response of people buying GOYA products in support. This reveals that there is more support of our current leadership than the media is reporting!!!

Dear GOYA Producers/Owners:
Those boycotting you are small minded. You were recognized for outstanding work/products..
You did not deserve this backlash. We support and celebrate your products.
I pray that no weapons formed against you shall prosper and what Satan meant for evil will create a tsunami of blessings for your faithfulness.
In America it is our right to have a choice. ( I particularly believe Trump called to lead at this very time in history.) I admire your respect for our leadership. God is in control. Trust Him for total resolve and victory!

I purchased Goya products from Publix yesterday, for the first time. Noticably, there was less stock of Goya food there than the other brands on the shelf, because they had been bought. Another shopper was buying Goya food for the same reasons that I was. Hallelujah! And she persuaded another shopper to buy some, by suggesting a recipe for the chick peas: Add olive oil and salt to the chick peas. Lemon also tastes good with it. We are having fun!

Thank you God for GOYA CEO Bob Unanue and all others like him!!!!!! I have never specifically looked for
Goya products, but you can be sure that I will be looking for them from now on – will make a trip to the grocery store today. Considering the many other comments, I just hope some Goya products are still on the shelves!!!!!! As for President Trump, I thank God that he IS our President, appointed “for such a time as this”!! pray for him every day to continue to stand his ground and stand up for America!!

Note comments in book, Triumphant Kingdom. (2019),Heidler and Pierce. Glory of Zion Publishing, Denton, Texas. Page 24:
Creativity and cunning are like weapons the Lord has given us to elude and overpower our enemy. But to use them effectively, we must be willing to CONFRONT the enemy whether we want to or not.
There is not a choice. This doesn’t mean we aren’t peacemakers. What it actually means is that there are obstacles hat will hinder the advancement of God’s Kingdom into harvest fields that must be confronted for His plan to advance.
AMEN..PURSUE

Heavenly Father,
I lift up Mr. Unanue, his family, the staff at Goya, their families, and everything spiritually under Mr. Unanue authority, in his boundary lines and in his territory. I pray a mighty hedge of protection around them all and put the cross of Jesus Christ and the shed blood of Jesus Christ between them and all evil. I proclaim, by the power and authority of the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and the name above all name, the name of Jesus Christ, the protection, blessing, provision and guidance of the risen and reigning Lord Jesus Christ in their lives, and I declare no weapon formed against Mr. Unanue, and all those under his authority, will prosper. I pray for the protection of the shed blood of Jesus Christ over everything and everyone that touches, impacts of influences all of them all in any way. Lord, I ask that you would make their righteousness shine like the dawn, and the justice of their cause like the noon day sun. Lord, raise up an army of your people to support them. What was meant for evil, or Lord, use for their good. Let their enemy who comes at them one way, flee seven. Oh Lord, prepare a table for them in the presence of their enemies. I declare, they are more, more, more, than conquerors through Jesus Christ our king! The King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Great I am .The Alpha and the Omega!

I have never bought Goya products, always the others. But now I will become a Goya fan! I praise the Lord for men like Mr. Unanue who will take a stand for what is true and right.

I am a new fan of Goya and will buy all the Goya products I can find!

So much for ‘free speech’ and ‘tolerance’ but as for me we shall serve the Lord;
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. 2. Ephesians 4:31-32 All bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander must be removed from you, along with all malice.
Proverbs 30:30 (NKJV) describes the lion as “mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing.” With such a reputation for power and might, it is no wonder God used this animal to describe the demeanor He expects from His children in Proverbs 28:1: “The wicked flee when no one is looking, but the righteous are as bold as a lion” (NKJV).

I have used Gloria products for years, and attest to their high quality, but did not realize the integrity of the company and its leader ship. Now that I do, I can’t wait to get back to the store and check out new Goya products that I have not tried! Just got home from the grocery store, but I am considering going back to buy Goya brand everything!!

That is one of the best ways to know Goya as high-quality line of products produced by a good company which is led by good people who honor God and help people! And what a way to act in behalf of freedom of expression being suppressed by those who blatantly pursue political power while ignoring the welfare of those who benefit from the gracious acts to favor the needy in our society.

My cousin said, “I bought my beans.” I knew what she meant. The image of canned beans made me think of sustenance. It is always good to have canned goods in the pantry. I certainly learned that over these past months. Goya products represent more than preparation for a possible food shortage, now the company represents standing up to the mob and doing what is right. Donating Goya products to food banks adds the third dimension. Beautiful to see a negative turned into a positive one hundred fold.

Yes – bought Goya products just yesterday – and will continue to do so….

Father, pour out Your Blessings upon the Unanue family and their business! Give them a double portion of Holy Spirit anointing – and increase their territories. Thank You Jesus for the Heart and boldness of this man – to stand up for what is right and true. Magnify his voice – especially in the Latin community. And multiple his prayers for our President and this amazing nation….!!

I went online to see where I could buy Goya locally, and things that were available “in store only” —“sold out.” And, the way COVID19 has affected the shelves for a lot of things here, it makes it hard to know when the stock will be back & available….

I will be purchasing Goya products. This is a good way fight back against the crazy left. But their needs to be laws restricting the rich from using their monopoly money as weapon against the constitution and the people.

    No more laws and government interference as that is what the left does to destroy freedom and free enterprise. God can, does, and will continue to use His people to further his kingdom, as witnessed by Mr. Unanue standing for righteousness.
    Remember, there are MANY rich people who use their money for great good and for the furtherance of God’s kingdom.
    Only God’s power can expose such evil as has been foisted upon him by the left. However: The boycotters have been the greatest free advertisement for Goya Mr. Unanue could ever ask for and proof that God is in control.
    “No weapon forged against you shall prevail, and you will demolish every tongue that accuses you.” Isa. 54:17

I am a Goya customer now. Several weeks ago their customer service department asked me to give them the barcode of the box is custard which I thought had the wrong recipe. It didn’t yet they sent me two GOYA coupon booklets and a check for $5 to cover what I had bought. Then I see the CEO express his opinion and gets boycotted. My husband told me they had given millions of cans of food to the needy. Yep 👍 I’m a Goya customer now.

I was going to, but if the stock is cleared off the shelves, those who consume them regularly will not have them. (I had stocked up on toilet paper before the shortage and we nearly ran out ourselves.) So I’ll watch and buy as they are restocked. Many people that use these products are financially challenged. Let’s pray for those families especially, that they have enough for their needs. Let’s buy judicially.

Praise the Lord for the courage of this man. He seems to be a man of faith. I’m getting more encouraged when I see real Americans, being Americans like I remember, people of integrity and faith. May Bob Unanue and his household be richly blessed.

I will admit that there is only (1) Goya product that I have consistently purchased over the years, but this backlash enraged me. Although Goya is more expensive than other brands, I bought a can and / or bag of each item left on the shelf. This man spoke honestly. I appreciate that he showed no partisan politics in that he visited both the Obama White House and the Trump White House.
Thank you for your show of love and support for ALL.

This is just another example of bias against President Trump. I ordered a case of Goya beans and will be donating it to the food bank. I hope other conservatives will join me in buying Goya products and may the Lord use what man meant for evil to bless this company.

I have been using Goya Sazon con azafran for years. My father introduced it to me when I was a teenager. It was his “secret” ingredient for making Spanish rice…and now it’s mine. The “secret” is out now and I’m glad to share it. I’ll race you to the store to buy all the Goya Sazon on the shelf! Thank you!!

I am Hispanic. Goya was a staple in my home all of my life. While I was born in this country and am well acculturated, these products are part of my heritage and I’ve passed it on to my now adult children. This weekend I loaded up on Goya. At one point in my career, they were distributors for products I represented so I know them and was invited to their new warehouse years ago for their Grand Opening. They are a great company and we collaborated very well together. I am thankful for them standing up to the cancel culture and pray they are an example to other companies to be strong and courageous.

If more Christians were aware of the big corporations funding organizations like the ACLU and BLM we would be astounded. After learning of Amazon’s funding anti- Christian organizations also funded by George Soros. I can no longer patronize their business. I think It’s time we sacrifice certain luxuries and conveniences in order to defund those opposed to our religious liberty and freedom of speech. Christians need to unite to defund those who work to defund law and order and our Christian faith and principles. Otherwise, our Complacency will one day destroy all we cherish and hold dear.

May God bless him and his family for standing for what he believes. Specially when intimidation comes in many different way against him. During WW2 that was what Hitler’s youth and and government infiltrators use to do. It is sad people do not read history, because we are bound to repeated. ” My people perish for the lack of knowledge”. We speak life and abundant provision for him, his family and his Goya Company. We speak and declare “NO weapon against him will prosper… and they are cover under the shadow of the Almighty”

As soon as this story broke, I emailed Goya products to let them know that they will see an upsurge in customers. It was a good move. And do to increased sales, I hope I can still find my beans at the supermarket. Love Goya. They’re the best! Sorry AOC, but the plan failed. You are hearing from the silent majority. Sometimes we just speak with our prayers and actions.

    Loving the play on words. Left says, “Defund police.” Right says, “Defend police.” Left says, “Boycott.” Right says, “Buycott.” Thank You, Lord, that so many people are standing up for Goya and his freedom of speech. We know that what the left really wants is to stop us from talking about You. “I tell you that if these [people] should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” -Luke 19:40 I thank You,
    Lord, that You are such an awesome, praiseworthy God and yet You graced us with mercy and salvation.

I am so deeply encouraged and grateful for Mr. Unanue’s courage, conviction and resolve to not bend to the demand and control of those who would take our country into total slavery of their views. He is a man of great stature, helping to preserve this nation and get her back on track. I believe God himself is grateful and hold’s a special place in his heart for this gentleman. I honestly cannot adequately express how positively this effects me. May we all rise up as he has, and together rebuild this nation.

I admire Mr. Unanue’s courage to hold fast to his principles. I have purchased Goya products for many years and will continue to do so. What many of those calling for a boycott failed to mention to their followers is that Goya Foods has donated tons of food to food banks around the country over the past four months to help families in need during the pandemic. My understanding is this is one of the reasons the president invited Mr. Unanue to participate in the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative event. Father, in the name of Jesus, continue to bless Mr. Unanue, his family, Goya Foods, and their employees.

    I stocked up on Goya products this past weekend. I admire Mr. Unanue’s courage to not back down, to not apologize!! Many would have caved to the bullies on the left that are swift to destroy people on a whim when others don’t agree with their views. It’s disgusting to see that among those that practice “cancel culture” and suppression of speech, there are “leaders” in our nation, that take oaths to protect their constituents, people like AOC and Castro, who are on the list in this practice. Shame on them!! Mr Unanue, you rock!!
