HOW TO RESPOND IF GOVERNMENT AGENTS COME KNOCKING
Recently President Biden spoke out on the risk he thinks unvaccinated people pose to the country. He has enlisted “surge response teams” to raise our vaccine numbers and stop the spread. His plan includes increasing vaccine access for children ages 12-18, bringing in mobile vaccine clinics, as well as sending government representatives door-to-door to ask about personal health decisions. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich calls this a “government intrusion into American’s health care privacy.”
Kathleen Sebelius, former Obama administration Health and Human Services Secretary stated “that Americans who have not received a coronavirus vaccine should not be allowed to work or have access to children and be limited on where they are allowed to go.”

Fear, shame, and intimidation are the tools the Biden Administration is using to force the general public to submit to their narrative “for the greater good. The struggle here is getting “the people” to comply with what the government has decided is the answer, and the only answer. Even some people who have had adverse vaccine reactions in the past are denied the “right to decline,” as are those who are simply choosing to say no or not yet – risking school enrollment, employment, and access to a variety of services and programs.
No long-term studies, not FDA approved, zero liability for drug companies… To date, there are over 9000 reported deaths, more than 400,000 adverse events (tens of thousands of these are “serious” injuries) reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) since the COVID vaccines rolled out in December 2020.
What to do? I believe we need to educate ourselves and pray about how to navigate these murky waters. We must protect the rights of people to make their own informed decisions – one way or the other – informed consent, not blind or forced consent.
While unsolicited knocks at our doors may or may not become a reality, we all benefit from thinking through this and being prepared. And know it may not be a government official who knocks. Communities across this nation are soliciting and training up Community Health Ambassadors to do their part in educating and preventing the spread of this disease. California has already commenced their campaign. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office has hired 2000 workers “to make peer-to-peer appeals and provide support to help overcome barriers to vaccinations.”
Lake County, Illinois has published “Helpful Hints” for their ambassadors who go knocking door-to-door. These include ignoring “no soliciting” signs and keeping accurate notes on vaccine status. They have also included a script for those who argue they are trespassing, for in their words: “I understand but I am not selling anything, we want to provide accurate information to the seniors in your community. Our goal is to maximize the vaccination effort so that ALL of your seniors receive the COVID vaccine when the clinic comes on-site. All I want is to see your seniors protected against COVID.”
Leo Hohmann suggests we be ready with our response (or not answer the door) when agents want to tell us how safe and accessible the vaccine is. “Is this why roughly half of America refuses to get this injection? Because it’s not accessible? Surely it has nothing to do with the dismal safety record, with record numbers of reported deaths and injuries. And the seemingly limitless pressure to get the shots, with multinational corporations leveraging all their power against us, threatening our jobs and livelihoods, surely this wouldn’t set off any red flags in people’s minds, would it?”
How to Respond
In the effort to be better informed and ready to give an answer to those who might knock, I have collected some great tips from around the web:
- Intercessor Richard Butterfield shared how we can share the Gospel with those who might knock, “Imagine the conversation when the government worker tells us we can be saved from COVID by taking a shot and we tell them they can be saved from death by trusting in Jesus.” He suggests having tracts ready to hand out.
- John Whitehead, founder and president of the Charlottesville, Virginia-based Rutherford Institute suggests placing a “No Trespassing” sign at your door and/or knowing your rights if you decide to answer the door.“I think the problem in America is people, most people, have no idea what their rights are,” he added. “Under the First Amendment you don’t have to speak to government officials, you have a right against unreasonable searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment and the right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment. Anyone can knock on your door unless you have a no trespassing sign, but if you look out the window and see government officials and you see them looking around, peering through windows, in my opinion you have a violation of the Fourth Amendment. They can ring the doorbell but once you put them on notice it’s time for them to leave, they can’t stay on your property.”
- Attorney KrisAnne Hall clearly articulates your constitutional rights on her website and includes a “Trespass Warning Form” you can pass to government agents who do not immediately comply with your request to leave.
-
- Don’t answer the door.
- Have someone in your home come to the door with you as a witness and as a support person.
- Record the interaction.
- For “safety reasons” inquire about the results of their recent Covid test or other contagious diseases.
Some of you may think there is no reason to be concerned, but after reading some notes from Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Orlando, Florida-based Liberty Counsel, I think it is wise to have our eyes wide open. He highlights similarities to 1930s Germany, where Hitler used IBM to collect racial census data. “Hitler actually hired IBM and IBM hired thousands of employees to execute a racial census to identify the Jews and once Hitler had that data, IBM created a system to cross-reference the data against employment records and also financial institutions’ records to help Hitler ultimately pulverize the Jews,” Staver said. “That’s when they used the mass transfer of Jews to ghettos and ultimately prison camps. So we’ve been down this road before where a government tries to coerce people by going door to door and gathering personal information on people.”
Being educated and informed are our best weapons of defense. Know your rights, communicate them as succinctly as possible or choose to not answer the door. Your personal health decisions are no business of the government. And as Richard Butterfield and Peggy Hall point out, our hope and immunity come first and foremost from the Lord. HE is the author and creator of life!
What will YOU do if they come knocking at your door? Please share this helpful information with others–they are not going to find it anywhere else.

All the responses I have read are powerful and thank you for posting. I have been thinking of what I should say and one thing that I believe has been shown to me is the importance of “Life”. I want to ask those who want to impose this vaccine against our will, that if our lives are so important to our administration why not protect the lives of the unborn child? Why do some lives matter and others are considered unimportant. All life is of value to GOD; we are all made in HIS image. We should fear God and nothing else. God is bigger than any virus. We have far too much government in our lives and we need to let the govenment know where our allegiance stands. We will obey God rather than man.
I plan to point my iPhone at them and tell them that the entire encounter will be recorded. They’ll be free to leave if they don’t like it.
Secondly, I will be prepared to debate them, witness to them, wherever the conversation and God lead.
My answer is simple–thanks I’ve been vaccinated, your records must be incorrect then close the door.
I was vaccinated as a baby, & also travel shots for ministry trips.
According to many top notch doctors virologists I have the gold star of immunity. I am COVID-19 recovered. I have a stupendous God given inoculation against COVID-19 and it’s variants. So if asked I can say I’m totally inoculated lol. Not so for those who got the jab. The Antibody Dependent Enhancer makes the jabbed more susiptible to varients as proven by all these so called breakthroughs cases. No, these are most likely not breakthrough but ADE responses which is what killed the lab animals. The media will lie. Study and find truth. It sets you free. Don’t look to news for it. They have one script. Push the vaccine and slander the unvaccinated. Biden and his controlled media don’t tell you in the lab animals tested for this mRNA the first jab was ok and they created an antibody but when the lab animals were exposed to a wild virus their body took it in and the immune response (ADE) went crazy with putting blood clots in the lungs etc. They died. The virologists and one a Nobel prize winner says most jabbed will die in three years from the autoimmune ADE response. There was no long term trials on this mRNA drug. Anyone who got it signed up to be a lab rat. Sad. Yes and this is what is happening all over the world yet Biden and his medical traitors never discuss the harms and deaths. I see them on tv and commercials lying saying it’s safe and affective. I cringe. They never discuss the therapeutic cures for COVID-19 that good doctors use successfully and are being silenced. Also, they never discuss those like myself who are naturally immune from acquiring the virus and millions have. For them taking this jab is potentially more harmful and absolutely of no value. They have natural antibodies that successfully fought off the virus which is better and strengthens the T cell response against varients. That is why one very well known doctor said we have the “gold star” of immunity and no restrictions should be on us but they are. In fact we are shamed still for not getting the jab when there is no reason to get it. The jab ruins your T and also B cells. Leaving you vulnerable. I have all the articles if anyone wants. Many hours studying with the best! Any doctor that tells you you still need the jab after COVID-19 recovery is lying. Run out of their office! Quickly! Don’t look back. We are being attacked by very evil people and this is nothing short of biowarfare. The medical community is corrupted. You can’t trust them only Godly ones who are warning you. I read Psalm 27 now every day. This may sound nuts but I’m glad I got COVID-19 and some of my family and we all are fine Why? Because the immune response God gave us built a defense against the transmitting of the spike proteins that are injected by millions into those who get this jab. Those jabbed are transmitting they believe these spike proteins. They are literally Covid19 factories. Pregnant women around them are miscarrying late term healthy babies!!! Other issues with extreme blood clots in menstrations even menapausal women are suddenly bleeding huge clots after exposure to jabbed. Other issues as well. Very serious stuff. So sad. That is what a top virologist I conversed with believes and many others I saved articles and videos about natural immunity being the best defense called Herd immunity. See Dr Sherri Tenpenny on Brand New Tube and Rumble. She is on the fore front of exposing this with her crew of wonderful many Christian doctors. Praise Jesus! I was fortunate and my family. We just had bad cold/flu symptoms or just a few days of yuk. One family member sisterinlaw was in the hospital for it. She is overweight. That seems a factor. She is fine now. But she got the jab. Sad. She had an immune response. COVID-19 is not noval as they lie. It’s of the Corona family. Colds. They just manipulated it to make a supposed pandemic. My friends this is all Satan. God sees. Listen to the Holy Spirit. Not those who lie to you or are deceived. Christian leaders who say “Jesus would take it”? Shame on them. They need to repent! Go read the posts of all the vaccine injured. Heartbreaking. No one at all will help them. Those who lost loved ones. Healthy people one day, jabbed, then sick or dead and told by doctors “It’s not the vaccine that did it you are just anxious” as their lives fall apart. They can’t work! They were told it was safe! They were lied too ! They can’t sue Big Pharm Congress gave them lawsuit immunity for vaccines in 1986. They can do what they want and are raking in billions. They tripled the amount of childhood vaccines in 1989 and childhood diseases and yes Austin’s went thru the roof. Pure evil! The love of money is the root of ALL evil. Mr Franklin Graham urges folks to get the jab says Jesus would. Lay down your life for a lie Mr. Graham? Mr. Graham do you hear truly from God? Don’t you see what is going on? The set up for the OWO. Is Mr. Franklin Graham going to take care of the thousands harmed? Help those who lost loved ones? A new report says the actual deaths from this mRNA in US. are more like 45000. That was from a whistleblower who works for or with VAERS and says it’s inaccurate. They are hiding the real numbers. I have the article. To summarize. The Holy Spirit will give you unction. He has guided me he will you. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice and none other will they follow.
My answer is simple–thanks I’ve been vaccinated, your records must be incorrect then close the door.

Personal questions regarding your health is none of anyone’s business, particularly this government’s! This opens the door to all kinds of devious people and, in fact, it is illegal! This is a road you don’t want to go down! I’ll pass.
Ladies and gentlemen the shorts are worst than you think. The info is out there if you are willing to search.
If they knock on my door, I will tell them I will hear them only if they first hear what I have to say, then will read from Psalm 91, which in part reads:
“This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
Psalms 91:2-10 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/psa.91.2-10.NLT
I believe it such a violation for governmental agencies to ask us about our health assessment. I have been praying against this. They might want to come to our door as health representative. I don’t trust what they are trying to do. The vaccine is a choice for every citizen and they should leave it at that. They should be trying to find out where the virus started instead of trying to get people to take it.
I am asking the Lord to fill my mouth according to His wisdom so that I can be Jesus to those who may show up! I do this with Jehovah’s Witnesses, and others who come to my door. We may be the only Jesus that they ever meet. Ask Him to show you what to say and how to respond to the specific ones that may come. Let Your will be done and Your kingdom on earth for these ones! Amen!
In addition to the reasons cited for NOT receiving the vaccine, the fact that already-vaccinated persons are being diagnosed with having COVID! The vaccines are not 100% protection, either! I’m not convinced they are any better at preventing COVID than flu shots are for preventing the flu. The common cold is a corona virus, as is COVID–doctored up to be more virulent, of course. There’s no vaccine for the cold, because the virus mutates all the time, so a vaccine would be outdated before it can become available!
I will not be answering my door.
As I understand it, this is not a vaccine. I am told that you can still get it, but in a milder form. This is a shot, like a flu shot that you get every year. Are we then going to have to get a covid shot every year? Not me. I don’t trust them and I don’t trust the people behind this. My vaccine comes from the Lord. Psalm 91:10: No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your dwelling.
This is absurd. If you received your vaccine, then you have nothing about which to worry. If you don’t want it, you should not be compelled by the government or any entity acting in the place of the government, institutional or corporate. Do we really need another 100,000 federal employees as professional doorknockers?
The Door To Door Vaxers
Why have you knocked at my door? Are you perpetuating an unsolicited government solution to a government created problem? Do you honestly have any real sense of the dangers you are imposing on my people? I suppose you feel you came here to offer “hope”. I tell you of a certainty there is but One Hope; the man Christ Jesus. Verily I say unto you, hearken and hear His words:
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
You might even believe you are offering an escape from sickness and even death but I can offer you a path to eternal life! Are you prepared to be “vaccinated unto eternal life!”? Then pray this prayer with me right now:
Lord Jesus, for too long I’ve kept you out of my life. I know that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. No longer will I close the door when I hear you knocking. By faith I gratefully receive your gift of salvation. I am ready to trust you as my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming to earth. I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank you for bearing my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life. I believe your words are true. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior. Amen.
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
Thy will be done…
Barry, thank you for taking the time to share this excellent response. Blessings.
This was the one that I wrote. I made sure to keep it to one side of one typed page.
Dear Vaccine Door-Knockers:
We thank you for your concern. We are all set here.
However, we do have something to present to you today, instead. It is more life-altering than any vaccine could ever be–
Did you know that in Matthew 24:3-14, Jesus Christ foretold that there would be many signs that would indicate that we are in the Last Days? One of those signs was pestilence. Pestilence is defined as a fatal epidemic disease, which is exactly what Covid has turned out to be. Nevertheless, as we navigate through the End Times, we will be seeing many new forms of pestilence, akin to and even worse than Covid.
There is life beyond this physical realm, however, with which we need to be even more concerned. That is our eternal life, once we leave this fleshly body. That means that, going forward, there is something that is going to be so much more important to sustain our lives than any vaccine. This is the vaccine that I offer to you today.
While there are currently 3 different Covid vaccines available, there is only ONE way to have the hope of eternal life. That is by accepting JESUS CHRIST as your personal Lord and Savior. Jesus said that He is the ONLY Way, the only Truth and the only means to eternal life (John 14:6). The Bible also says that there is no salvation in any other name (Acts 4:12).
So, just as you are knocking on doors in this neighborhood today, hoping that you might convince someone to take the Covid vaccine right on their doorsteps, I am encouraging you, right here and right now, to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You can do this in the same amount of time that it takes for you to administer a shot. No one passing by right now will even know that you did this. It is really is as simple as saying a short prayer with a contrite heart and with the intention to live from here on out for Jesus Christ. As we navigate through these Last Days, there really is no time like the present to make sure that you are right with the Lord, so that you may have the assurance of salvation.
The prayer of salvation involves simply:
1. Confessing that you have not always lived up to God’s standards: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
2. Believing that Christ atoned for your sins when He died on the Cross and that He conquered the grave by rising from it: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10: 9,10)
3. Calling on Jesus to save you: “For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved’.” (Romans 10:13)
Right now, where you stand, you can say this simple prayer:
Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.
If you said this prayer, we urge you to find a solid, Bible-teaching church to help you to understand God’s will for your life. Or, if you prefer, you can email us as [email protected] and we will help you with any questions that you might have about Jesus Christ, the Bible, or next steps.
May you go in peace today, knowing that the heavens are rejoicing that another soul has been saved. Luke 15:10 says: “In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” We hope that you accepted the offer.
Penalties for noncompliance of not being allowed to travel, work, buy or sell, or have free speech. Sounds like prepping people to take the mark of the Beast.
Exactly what I’m saying.
My approach is a little different. I am leaving a letter for them in a plastic sleeve taped to my front door. I tell them that we are all set here, but I ask them if they are aware that pestilence was foretold to be a sign that we are in the End Times. Then, I tell them that I have a “vaccine” that is of the utmost importance because it protects one’s eternal life. I tell them that while there are currently 3 vaccines available, there is only ONE WAY to eternal salvation: Jesus Christ. I then explain the importance of accepting Christ as Lord and Savior (with Scripture references) and include, a prayer or salvation. I’ve given the same letter to some neighbors who are Christians and they are going to put it on their doors as well.
LOVE, LOVE THIS ONE…….WISH I COULD REMEMBER IT!!!!!
This entire letter fits on one side of a sheet of paper, typed, 12 pt with 1/2″ margins

I pray more people get wisdom, knowledge, and understanding about the scientific data behind the Sars CoV-2 virus and the vaccines. Hear what people like Reinhard Fuellmich and David Martin and Doctors on the Front Line have to say rather than just the fear mongering news on the tv and radio. The Lord scoffs at their money loving evil plans. Rise up oh Lord and let Your enemies be scattered!
What will I do?!
Simple!! Don’t answer the door!! No different when you get a random caller on your caller id!!
Its my right and everyone’s right! DON’T engage! Problem solved!!
Engagement is always an opportunity to witness. Jesus never hid behind a closed door. He always faced His detractors in truth and love, not matter the cost.
As a volunteered in a prison I ran a reading program . I learned a lot about crime being around criminals. This is a very dangerous practice sending people out to do this. It opens the door for scammers to take advantage of people.. Are people going out going to be fingerprinted and bonded, I wonder? I do not open my door to people I do not know EVER !!!!! We live in a time you can never be too careful.
Exactly what I am thinking, with home invasions on the rise.
I cannot seem to print out the Your Power to Trespass forms? They keep printing out blank sheets. Wondering if it has something to do with Google?
Don’t know, but try downloading and using Brave. Supposed to be a safe browser and search engine. That worked for me.
