I Prayed have prayed
Father, we ask You to protect our military from any kind of harm. And, we ask You to preserve our freedom to make health choices in America.

Military troops must immediately begin to get the Covid-19 vaccine, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a memo Wednesday, ordering service leaders to “impose ambitious timelines for implementation.”

More than 800,000 service members have yet to get their shots, according to Pentagon data…

The memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not dictate a specific timeline for completing the vaccinations…

“To defend this Nation, we need a healthy and ready force,” Austin said in the memo. “After careful consultation with medical experts and military leadership…I have determined that mandatory vaccination against coronavirus disease…is necessary to protect the Force and defend the American people.”…

…as of Aug. 18, more than 1 million active duty, Guard and Reserve service members were fully vaccinated and nearly 245,000 more had received at least one shot.

Senior military leaders have consistently pressed their forces to get vaccines through a wide range of public pleas, and via social media and other campaigns. But — as is true among the U.S. population — many service members have been reluctant.

Defense officials have said it’s critical for troops to get the vaccine because they live and work closely together and outbreaks could hamper the U.S. military’s ability to defend America…

Guard officials have said all along that it is very difficult to assess how many of their citizen soldiers have gotten a vaccine. And only now will they be able to begin actually tracking the number with more precision as Guard members report to their drill weekends this fall…

Austin in the memo noted that the new requirement will allow for exemptions that are consistent with the current policies for all the other vaccines. Permanent exemptions include serious medical reactions to the vaccine, immune deficiencies such as HIV infection, and “evidence of existing immunity” by a serologic antibody test or “documentation of previous infection or natural infection presumed.”

There also are administrative exemptions, including one for religious reasons. The religious exemption is granted by the military services based on their policies, and it appears to be relatively rare. The decision is made by commanders based on consultation with medical personnel and chaplains…

A little over half of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated with one of the country’s three options, from Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson.

The Pentagon decision only applies to the Pfizer vaccine. Moderna has also applied to the FDA for full approval of its vaccine. J&J said it hopes to do so later this year.

A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself; the simple pass on and are punished. Prov 27:12

I pray that everyone included in this ungodly order for our precious military will be wise and prudent, and look at the actual data on each of these experimental shots.
They do not prevent you from getting COVID, they do not prevent you from giving COVID to someone else, the only long term safety studies are being conducted with current recipients, and those results are not good.
…not to mention that the COVID recovery rate, for all ages, is well over 95%, although, of course, people do die every day, and those with other medical conditions are, as always, more susceptible.

There have been thousands of life-changing adverse events from these COVID shots, along with over 13,000 deaths, just since the December 2020 rollout – which is more than all deaths, from all other vaccines combined, over the past 30+ years of CDC records.
(I can’t find the figure right now, but fewer than 100 deaths were sufficient to recall another vaccine less than 20 years ago…)
So, to say that the shot “protects” anyone (besides the vaccine industry, and royalty owners?) is truly upside down.

Those who have been “vaccinated” are actually more of a hazard – to their neighbors, and to themselves, as their altered immune systems will be subject to antibody dependent enhancement, so that their next infection will be more robust, and their bodies will be less able to defend themselves.

It will be the UNvaccinated, who retain their God-given immune systems with its function unimpaired, who will be able to foster community health. Not the other way around.

These experimental shots are neither safe, nor effective!

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Is 5:20
The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe. Prov 29:25

All three vaccines were derived from aborted fetal tissue and should not be used to combat the coronavirus at all! The vaccines are immoral and there’s no amount of safety testing that can take away that massive black cloud hanging over all three vaccines! There are many people gettin sick, injured badly and death tolls related to the vaccines and the cover up of the stats is outrageous! The spike protein in the drugs have caused health problems and will continue to cause severe health problems!
I know several people that are suffering from the after effects of the Covid vaccines! The coercion and bribery that has taken place to promote the drugs has Nuremberg Code written all over the mandating schemes! Wake up!
Again I say wake up!

Austin’s mandate’s are just like his “leadership,” pathetic and pitiful and dangerous to America!! He is wrong. No one, NO ONE, should mandate or force anyone, military or civilian, to get a hastily put together, shot, that has not gone through all the years of testing that all vaccines have to go through! We HAVE treatments, successful ones, but no one is allowed to talk about them! One of the most brilliant doctors, Dr. Peter McCoullough, with lots of degrees, papers, etc. has been in front of Congress telling them about this!! Fauci and his pharmaceutical companies just won’t allow people to know about the many successful treatments. If you have treatments that work, why won’t you let doctors use them?? There is MORE involved than Covid, it is control and money, follow the money, follow who is really in control!
Lord God, protect Your children from these controlling mandates that this administration seems intent on doing! Protect us from these “puppets” who are nothing more than that. Reveal, who is really “pulling the strings” behind these “puppets.” In Jesus name!

The moment they resurrected Austin and appointed him, I knew the military was in trouble. The man is a puppet who cannot stand for himself. And Biden isn’t his boss. In the 4 years that we had a real president prior to 2021, the “unknowns” who are running the show were working with Austin for his placement after the big fraud.
Keep praying – we really have some sick and sold out people in strategic positions. And it shows daily.

Why are we as Americans putting up with wicked people stealing our liberty? There are more of us than them! My prayer is for all 800,000 unvaccinated soldiers to resist putting this vaccine into their bodies because unqualified non-doctors say they should. If they all stood together against this American tyranny, with the prayer backing of all of us that names the Name of CHRIST, these tyrants would back down. Also saints, I heard no mention of the bombing in Afghanistan on any news except conservative news. FATHER GOD YOUR WORD in Isaiah 45:11 says, “concerning the work of MY HANDS, command ye ME!” We command for the taliban and all of the other terrorist groups to be put down and rendered null and void in JESUS Name! We command that the American weaponry be out of the enemy terrorists’ hands immediately in JESUS Name! We command that what the devil has meant for harm for Americans and our allies, it will be for our good and the enemies’ harm in JESUS Name! We command that the mind(s) behind leaving the enemy so well equipped with American weaponry in Afghanistan be exposed immediately in JESUS Name! We command that the mind(s) behind all of the lies of the last 5 years be exposed, along with their complicit media partner leaders in JESUS Name! We command that the mind(s) and reason(s) behind this insane push to vaccinate every American even against their will be exposed immediately before another person is vaccinated in JESUS Name! FATHER GOD YOUR WORD says we have not because we ask not. Well I am asking for the above and I thank YOU for answering my prayer in the MIGHTY Name of JESUS! Amen!
