I Prayed have prayed
God, we ask You to protect those who are fearful right now following Mamdani's mayoral victory. We pray for protection and peace, and we pray that New York City would once again come to honor You.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

On Tuesday, avowed Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani was elected to be the next mayor of New York City. And, in the wake of this contentious election, an exodus out of America’s largest city has already begun.

From the New York Post:

Zohran Mamdani’s victory has New Yorkers running for the hills — or at least private schools outside the city.

Since the results of Tuesday’s election came in, school placement consultant Christopher Rim told The Post he’s had no less than 23 clients reach out to him. They’re looking to relocate — and they want his help getting their kids into elite private high schools and middle schools in other states.

“Within the first 30 minutes of AP announcing Mamdani’s victory, I got three messages from families looking to move,” said Rim, founder and CEO of Command Education.

The origins of the exodus date back to the summer. Rim told the Post that some families, feeling that a Mamdani victory was inevitable, moved to Connecticut.

According to Rim, these concerns are less about finances and more about culture. Many of his clients are Jewish families worried about rising antisemitism in the city, fueled in part by Mamdani’s views on Israel.

These may be the first families to flee New York City, but they likely won’t be the last. Let’s pray for those fearing rising costs and antisemitic attacks, and let’s pray for God’s will to be done in NYC!

There were 4 polling/ voting stations in New Jersey with bomb threats and some machines were not working. And you say that the Dems don’t cheat? Please stay informed and don’t rely on the left wing media to report the truth. They are the arm of the Dem Party. We ask you God to intervene in our country and help us to stop all of this hate, chaos, vitreol, violence which comes from the Father of all Lies, Satan.
We are a country of American loving Patriots. If people do not agree with our way of life here, maybe they would like to move to countries who love chaos, etc.
May God have mercy on us all.

Psalm 146
Praise the Lord, O my soul
I will Praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing Praise to my God as long as I live
Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save , When their spirit departs, they return to the ground on that very day, their plans come to nothing
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob , whose hope is in the Lord his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them The Lord who remains faithful forever.
He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. Tge Lord sets prisoners free, the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. the Lord loves the righteous. The Lord watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but He Frustrates the way of the wicked.
The Lord reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the Lord!!!
So Lord, if their are any wicked people in the New York state, city, government, may you destroy, Frustrates, their plans,evil. We ask that ONLY God’s will be done in New York. And anyone ,that does not know Jesus as Lord and Savior , will REPENT, and OBEY Jesus! In Jesus’s name Amen 🙏

    Is it Christian to demonize those you disagree with? Doesn’t this go against the direct teachings of Jesus to love our enemies? And there is NO evidence of Democrat cheating in any of the elections. How can Christians post such things?

Our Heavenly Father. Tuesday night had all of the results of
the four democratic state elections . It was a huge sucker punch to the stomach.
The results from these elections could be very detrimental to our future.
Especially in New York. Comrade Mamdani is a Muslim Socialist, Communist and
Marxist. People are blinded by his promises to make New York a better place.
He is promising things that will not help New York but only harm the great people
of New York. People are all talking about leaving New York because of his views
and what he wants to do to the people of New York.

I fear for all the Jewish people in New York and the anti-semetic rhetoric that he has
already said against the Jews. New York City has the highest population of Jews
2nd to Israel. Mamdani has a real Anti-Christ spirit and is only going to force all
of his views onto Americans. Please Lord Jesus. Protect the people of New York
and the Finance district of Wall Street and how he wants to do away with Capitalism
and replace it with Socialism and Communism. This could spread across Our Great
land and our Judeo-Christian background and beliefs could be in real trouble.

Please God , protect our Land and bring people back to the Lord and bring prayer,
law and order and the Ten Commandments back into our schools. In Jesus name. Amen!!

It just seems like many people are suddenly upset about a Muslim mayor but didn’t have any problem with Muslims giving Trump a $400 million dollar plane, or with Trump giving Muslims an air force facility in Idaho. If Democrats did this, wouldn’t someone call it hypocritical?

      The newly elected but not yet in office is a fake! He has no ideas and will not succeed! Socialism does not work in this country! I pray that the Lord will protect the good citizens of New York, our Jewish brothers and sisters from this socialist communist. He spews venom and smiles along with it. Please Yehsua come quickly! May this country experience a reformation and renewal like never before.
      I Jesus Name. Amen

I pray for wisdom from our heavenly Father to our brothers and sisters in New York City. May they hear You clearly on what direction to take for the good of their family and according to Your will. Bottom line: we trust You. You said You’d never leave us or forsake us. I believe Your words. In Jesus name amen

Father, I pray that in New York, people would embrace you as truth. Open their hearts and minds to receive truth. For those who are going to suffer because of this new mayor, may Holy Spirit draw them close. You are sovereign and you work evil to bring about good. May you work in New York to your glory.
