I Prayed have prayed
Lord, Your word declares You have a plan and a future for us. Thank You for the boldness we are seeing to protect children who are being robbed of their true identity as You created them.

They told me I was so brave,” a young man, “Simon,” recalled as he shared his very personal and heartbreaking story in front of the crowd.  Now detransitioned, he is disillusioned and disgusted with the system that pushed him from depression and autism to surgical and chemical body alterations.  “The same people I trusted to give me antibiotics when I had strep told me I was really a girl inside…” and then quickly sent him down the pipeline for transgendering at Boston Children’s Hospital.

JOIN IFA to pray about this issue and others on the Thursday Pray with America’s Leaders webcast TODAY at 12 noon ET. 

 

Mrs. S told her experience of seeing her daughter ushered into the transgender cult by their pastor, who introduced her to the idea of “wrong gender”, and referred her to a pro-transgender group that resulted in her daughter’s suicide after her transition didn’t help her depression.

We have heard too many personal stories of the regular and methodical coercion by health professionals, teachers, counselors and even parents who are not just advocating for but pushing young children and teens into transgendering. But now, transgendering minors is being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission as consumer medical fraud. And why not? As unlikely as it seems that the Federal Trade Commission would be the agency to strike a blow to the head of Goliath, it makes logical sense. Promises of a simple transition process and the option to easily detransition, of little to no side effects after surgery, and that it is the answer to the trauma and depression and awkwardness these young people feel is part of the systematic deceptive practices of the transgender business–and make no mistake, it IS a business.

I was invited to attend a workshop held in Washington, DC by the Federal Trade Commission entitled The Dangers of “Gender Affirming Care” for Minors.

As the FTC states “section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act gives the FTC broad authority to protect consumers from unfair or deceptive acts or practices.”

“This authority could be implicated if there is evidence that medical professionals or others omitted warnings about the risks or made false or unsupported claims about the benefits and effectiveness of gender-affirming care for minors…”

The goal was to invite a host of people who could testify with evidence and personal experience of the fraudulent and deceptive practices of the transgender machine in America. It was panel after panel featuring parents, nurses, counselors, specialists, plastic surgeons, whistleblowers, pediatricians, lawyers, government officials, journalists and detransitioned young people, all presenting their evidence supporting the purposeful deceptive methods and fraudulent practices of the doctors, counselors, clinics, pharmaceutical companies, teachers, nurses, medical associations, advocacy groups and hospitals who work so hard to transition mass numbers of minors.

In addition to the deception of undisclosed and hidden side effects and permanent damage of these drugs and surgeries, there is more.

Did you know that there is massive fraud going on in the medical diagnosis and diagnosis coding of transitioning kids? In fact, according to the testimony and proof from many whistleblowers and doctors, a medical diagnosis code of E34.9 has become a catch-all for endocrine (hormone) treatments that are non-specific. Knowingly breaking rules and laws, these child transitioners are committing a crime that can be prosecuted with the current laws we already have. Planned Parenthood of Southeast Pennsylvania, for example, has admitted this practice: “In order to meet the needs of most insurance companies and patients, we typically use the code E34.9 (endocrine disorder, unspecified)…We recognize that much of the language around billing for gender affirming care is troublesome; we recognize this is medically necessary care and will work to decrease the barriers to getting folks the care they need…”

Marshall Dahl, MD of WPATH (World Professional Association on Transgender Health, a globalist group leading the standards and efforts in transgendering) is quoted as admitting, “Not only are the medications off-label, the whole field is off-label, right? But that’s all good.”

That’s true, Dr. Dahl, your entire industry is off-label–it is not medicine at all but a system of deception for profit at every level, and the ones who pay are the broken children and families who pay with their bodies and lives. As believers, we also know it is a spiritual issue as well as a medical and cultural issue.

So, how do we get behind the Federal Trade Commission’s brave and bold move to hold child-transers to the same standard of consumer protection as they hold other medical products or applications?

Pray for those who are leading the charge. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson as well as Jonathan Schweppe, Senior Policy Advisor to Chairman Ferguson.
Pray for those speaking up. I wish I could name all of the speakers here so they could be prayed for by name, but here are a few who have long been on the front lines of this issue that need your prayer:  Dr. Michelle Cretella (pictured with me below), Dr. Michael Laidlaw, Dr. Eithan Haim, Alabama Solicitor General Edmund LaCour, Jr.,  journalist Brandon Showalter, and AR Representative Robin Lundstrum. Pray for their protection.
Pray for those who will move this strategy forward. Pray for the lawyers, advisors, and staff who will execute this strategy by collecting data and evidence, and will build the cases for action.
Pray for families who are in the middle of the deception. There are many hurting detransitioned young people, parents who are trying to keep their kids from the transgender cult, and young people who need the right care to turn trauma into healing. Pray for a touch of God’s healing power and open eyes to His love and plan for them. They need set free.
Pray for other agencies also tackling this evil. While at the workshop, the Justice Department’s Chad Mizelle announced that nearly 20 subpoenas had been issued to clinics being investigated for false statements, healthcare fraud, and more. This is also a praise! 
Pray about the spirit of deception
 and the demonic robbing of these children’s very identity–the image of God in which they were created. There is a spiritual root to this evil we are seeing, and we need to pray about that for every level of this situation–spiritual, legal, cultural, medical, familial, and governmental.

(At left, Dr. Michelle Cretella, Pediatrician, Christian, and longtime advocate for protecting children against transgendering.) Those who I spoke with, including Dr. Cretella, and Department of Justice Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle, and journalist Brandon Showalter were greatly encouraged to know that there is an army of intercessors praying for them in the work they do. Thank you for praying about this issue and for those on the front lines. IFA has been covering this issue and interceding about it for years.

Father, this is SO overwhelming! How have we come to such a low point in America that children, our greatest trust from You, have been turned into targets and objects for promoting sexual deviancy and filling the coffers of evildoers! We are Your creation. Help us, oh God! Bring the many who are ensnared out of this nightmare — both the children and their parents. May the fear of the LORD grip us all! Bring us to our knees in sorrowful repentance! Oh God, we need the light of the Gospel to penetrate this darkness! Help us, oh God! By the power of JESUS’ name!

Thank you for this article! I pray for truth to continue to be revealed, our children to be protected, and those who are working to bring the truth to all of us. May states bow to the truth. May those involved in transitioning children be stopped and justice come to these situations. Give peace to those who have been harmed by transitioning. We ask that this movement would be completely obliterated and children would no longer be preyed upon by those whose god is money.

Lord God Almighty, I thank You for opening eyes to this kind of godless venture. Bring our children to responsible adults who know your word and believe that you made no mistake assigning who is a boy, and who is a girl. Bring to justice the people involved in these deceptive crimes. Heal our children who are disillusioned by false promises and invasive actions. Touch their hearts and console them. Guide their parents in effectively aiding them in a Godly manner. And Lord, I deeply pray that You severely stop this mistreatment of young lives! In Jesus’ name, His Blood, and the Power of the Holy Spirit I pray unto You, my King, amen!

Please add Dr Miriam Grossman (one of the main speakers) to the list of people for whom you are praying. She has been in the frontlines of this issue since 2009, when she published the book You’re Teaching My Child, What? Her most recent book Lost in Trans Nation (I hope you grabbed a copy) opened the eyes of many people to the harms of transgenderism. She needs our prayers urgently too.

Lord, I simply ask that you would put a stop to this perversion called transgenderism that manifest all over the world. People need revelation of their true identity found only in a relationship with you, especially children . God you have given us our competence, our talents and our personalities. Beyond that is our identity of belonging , worth and legitimacy in you as a covenant son/ daughter. Bless the children of all ages with a healthy sense of being from a solid core of identity and legitimacy in Christ Jesus. Amen

This is a wonderful article. So needed. I am praying this travesty will be stopped. I have friends whose children have been affected and the sorrow they have gone through cannot be minimized. Father, I lift up the families of the children and the children themselves who have gone through great suffering come to know You have not forgotten them. You have said in your word, You are acquainted with our grief when our sins were placed on Your body. Minister to the deep sense of loss these families feel. Bring people alongside of them who know how to minister to their great need. Cause truth to come to their innermost being. Let their anger be against the one who is called the thief in the Bible, Satan himself. Protect our children. Raise up leaders who will press forward and stand strong for those who need their assistance. Raise an army of intercessors who will continue to stand in the gap. In Jesus name.

That is so sad about a “pastor” giving such evil teachings and wrecking a life saying the teenager is the “wrong gender”.

Kris, thank you for this very encouraging article and the unique ways the Lord is revealing to end the transgender lie. How creative and logical for the FTC to claim false and misleadign advertising. Heavy government fines and large lawsuit payouts to de-transitioners who are suing for malpractice will be a deterrence to all medical professionals promoting this lie and harmful treatments not only to children but adults as well. Praise God.

I am praying for the truth that there are only two genders and that truth will be recognized and be believed. I am also praying for the children that have been victimized by this lie and for their families that were deceived by the lie. May God heal the victims.

Why are children of these ages being taught about sex, gender and who knows what else and encouraged to question their gender? Where are the parents? These kids should be outside playing and having fun, not questioning their gender. Whatever happened to innocence?

Thank you, Kris, for your bold leadership. Lord, I stand in agreement with the prayer points above. I thank you for each and every voice that was and will be raised in the battle against this evil industry, which is not just off-label, but insane. Bless each person who has stepped forward, and encourage them. I pray for the formation of effective networks, if they do not already exist, for those effected by transgendering, and the gender denying abuse they’ve suffered. May this fraud be brought to light and be dealt with justly.

thank you for this article with information and specific things we can pray about. the whole trans movement is built on lie after lie after lie – which should be a clue that it comes from the father of lies – the enemy of our souls – satan. Truth will set those held captive by this false philosophy free. I am grateful for the work of those seeking to expose all the lies involved in the “transing of minors” or of anyone for that matter. Lord, let Your light shine in all these dark places, expose the lies and set the captives free. post – “living a lie” at http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com

Our beautiful, handsome, manly son-in-law, under pressure from our daughter, decided a few years ago that he was a woman. It is heartbreaking. They are separated, and our daughter is in a lesbian relationship. We have lost touch with her husband, and pray fervently that he hasn’t done anything to permanently alter the way God made him. These are kids raised in the church! We pray the Lord will call to their minds the truths they learned when they were younger, that He will restore them both to their right minds, and pull them out of satan’s deception and into the light of peace.

    Oh Grace, I can’t imagine your heartache!
    Father I pray for this family that has been broken apart by horrible lies. May Your light shine in the darkness, lives be mended and broken walls be restored.
    Comfort Grace as she seeks Your help and other intercessors prayers. Keep anger and bitterness from gaining a foot hold in her life. Thank You Lord for hearing our prayers moving on behalf of this family.
    In the Mighty power and name of Jesus, Amen

    Oh, Grace. So thankful for His gift of Grace in you— even as you were named.

    May His love continue to fill you, hold you and strengthen you. May His delivering power be manifest in your daughter’s heart & mind— speaking Truth & freedom to her spirit and breaking EVERY bond of the enemy’s lies from her completely— spirit, soul & body.

    And for your former son-in-law as well. May GOD watch over him, wherever he is, & draw him to the Truth, the place of healing and deliverance by the power of Your Holy Spirit.

    Oh, Father! We cry out to You! Speak Your words of deliverance and FREEDOM to these captives in the Name above all Names: JESUS! Be glorified, Oh LORD, we pray. Amen.
