Reading Time: 2 minutes

Immediately after being confirmed, Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced her plan to lead her department’s “final mission.” Will we finally see education return to the states, just as IFA intercessors have prayed for decades?

From Fox News. Linda McMahon, in her first act as Secretary of Education, is informing all employees that she will lead a “momentous final mission” toĀ send education back to the states, according to a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.

McMahon is sending a letter to all Department of Education (DoEd) employees on Monday evening, informing them of a “new era of accountability” as she oversees PresidentĀ Donald Trump’sĀ promise to dissolve the department.

“Our job is to respect the will of the American people and the President they elected, who has tasked us with accomplishing the elimination of bureaucratic bloat here at the Department of Education—a momentous final mission—quickly and responsibly,” McMahon wrote to employees in the letter that was shared first with Fox News Digital. …

Under McMahon, the department will work from three base convictions, according to her letter: that parents are the primary decision makers in their children’s education, that taxpayer-funded education should refocus on “meaningful learning in math, reading, science, and history—not divisive DEI programs and gender ideology,” and that post-secondary education should be a path to a well-paying career aligned with workforce needs. …

Trump has said that his goal is toĀ “immediately” close the DoEd and that, in the process, he wants McMahon to “put herself out of a job.” …

The Trump administration would need congressional approval in order to eliminate the federal department, and McMahon said that she will be partnering with the legislative branch “to determine the best path forward to fulfill the expectations of the President and the American people” …

“This is our opportunity to perform one final, unforgettable public service to future generations of students,” she said. “I hope you will join me in ensuring that when our final mission is complete, we will all be able to say that we left American education freer, stronger, and with more hope for the future.” …

Father God, we are so thankful that you are making our children’s education great again and using your ekklesia to do it. We are so thankful that the woke insanity will soon be gone forever. Litter boxes in classrooms…GONE!!! Oh God, you created us male and female in your image. Please forgive us for teaching and/or allowing anything else. Onward to prayer again in the classroom! Onward to the Ten Commandments on the walls, the pledge of allegiance to the U.S. flag and the many patriotic songs* so many of us learned long ago and loved. Onward to the teaching and memorization of our U.S. founding documents!
*GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH! GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH! GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH! OUR GOD IS MARCHING ON!
In JESUS NAME…THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, AMEN!!!
People,
*This land is your land
This land is my land
From California to the New York islands From the redwood forests to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me!

“Blessed be Thou, Lord God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

Thine, O Lord is The Greatness, and The Power, and The Glory, and The Victory, and The Majesty: for all that is in the Heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is The Kingdom, O Lord, and Thou Art Exalted as Head Above All.

Both riches and honour come of Thee, and Thou Reignest over all; and in Thine Hand is Power and Might; and in Thine Hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

Now therefore, our God, we thank Thee, and praise Thy Glorious Name.”

Blessings on Ms. McMahon, as she works to return education to parents and states. Lord, grant her wisdom and discernment in her efforts to turn the hearts of legislators to enact laws replacing the department of education’s failed model. May every stronghold of DEI ideology fall. May the money and political influence of the CA teachers union be of no effect. Set our children free to learn, excel, and flourish
Restore discipline and respect to the classrooms with people of excellence and leadership. I pray these words in Jesus name.

Lord, we have tried the education program made by the Federal Government. Now we are attempting to give the education program back to the States. I’m hopeful that there will be guidelines that please you and make our nation’s children competitive like they were generations ago. May all the foolishness that we hear about in the State of California be thrown out and values brought back to a godly people, so these vile programs become illegal and never surface again. Please protect our children in the new educational program. The little ones confused, and their bodies abused by medications be undone through prayer and compassion. Guide Secretary McMahon, the Department of Education bring challenges to the children to strive for excellence. Hopefully, the parents will share in this goal and help the children by drilling them and reading with them so they can share in conversation what they all learned. May this new version of education be a happy and challenging one for all the children and families with godly values.

Father in Heaven, Thank You for Secretary McMahon and her determination to do the right thing for our parents and children! Please give her the wisdom and strategy to enact exactly the perfect way to return education back to the states and especially the parents. Let the parents rise up and defend godly education for all our nation’s children. Protect Secretary McMahon and give her the aid she needs to succeed in this important mission. Then, Lord, will You guide the states to do what is right and godly in the education of our children? We praise You, Lord!

Father God,
I look forward to the time when states will again have friendly competition to ensure the students in their schools receive the best education. There will be a desire to excel in those things which truly matter to You and are best for people to live productive and fulfilling lives.
In Jesus name I ask for a powerful anointing to be on Linda McMahon to fulfill the task You have given her. I thank You for all the skills and knowledge You have already equipped her with for such a time as this. Grant her favor everywhere she goes.
I pray You protect her from all schemes, plots, strategies, attacks, and tricks of the enemy. Give her Your wisdom, insight, discernment, knowledge, understanding and even revelation to conquer every problem through the power of Holy Spirit.
Thank You for loving children and intervening on their behalf and for the future of our nation. We are so glad and grateful You are our God , the One who is Goodness, Truth, Beauty, and Love.
Amen.

Lord Jesus, You alone know what needs to happen regarding the Department of Education going forward. I pray for Linda McMahon as she navigates the processes of the “final mission” of this federal agency. I firmly believe that the Department of Education needs to be dismantled, and the educational decisions need to be dealt with on a state and local level. Please protect Linda and her family throughout this endeavor. May Your will be accomplished in this, and in all of the measures that the Trump Administration takes in reducing our bloated bureaucracy. Thank You Jesus.

Praise God for this answer to many years of prayer. I was a public high school teacher in my early career (back in the 80’s and 90’s) and refused to join the teachers’ union because of their politicization and disrespect for my Christian values. I have been praying for a turn-around for five decades, and the three points in McMahon’s letter express perfectly those things for which I have been praying.
Father, thank You for hearing and answering our fervent prayers to return the education of our children to what is essential for them to be contributing citizens of this wonderful nation. Please protect and guide Linda McMahon as she faces a daunting task. May we continue to intercede for her strength, wisdom, perseverance, and patience as she addresses forces that are aligned against her and You. We love our children, and we desire for them to know and love you. May our educational system foster, not hinder, this goal. Thank You again, Lord, for calling Your people to fervency in prayer as we batter down the gates of hell so that Your kingdom will expand.

Thank you for taking this on! We have been in desperate need of this for so long. Thank you for being willing to do the right thing for parents and children, even though it means ultimately “putting yourself out of a job.” Not to worry though, if you are able to accomplish this, I’m sure God will bless you greatly as this has been needed for SO LONG!!!! And I’m very sure another opportunity will come along.
Godspeed to you.

With the de-federalizing of education, I pray also that the national teacher unions will become defunct. Far too many teachers felt compelled to join, and/or they joined because they were not aware of their evil agendas. YHVH, please prepare people at the state and local level to take this hand-off, and run with it – but with a Godly and common sense agenda – to quote ā€œfocus on meaningful learning in math, reading, science, and history . . . and that post-secondary education should be a path to a well-paying career aligned with workforce needs.” And I might add, please re-establish or restore meaningful trades education even at the secondary level. College education is appropriate for certain career goals, but it is not necessary to be an intelligent and productive member of society. May it be put in it’s proper place.

Heavenly Father, we pray Lord your will be done in our education system. We ask Father God for divine favor over decisions being made for our children who are in public schools that have to be made to sit in classrooms that teach gender ideology and who have to adhere to mandates coming down from states mandating DEI, Gender inclusion. Lord we pray for your intervention to come and remove anything that’s not aligned with your will. Move in hearts of leaders, legislation and administrators,let your will be done,Amen

I am thanking God and those leaders who realize the Dept of Education needs to be dissolved and responsibility returned to the states with the parents as the primary decision makers. With the internet, each state has total accessibility to all educational resources.

Father God, help our country get through this time. Our school system was used as a tool cesspool for evildoers for way too long. Give Linda McMahon the presence of mind to navigate by your Holy Spirit through the thick.

From librarians and school counselors and principles down to janitors, the agenda will absolutely cease. As it drops away and the truth shines through, may the entire corruption be exposed and the perpetrators be put to a decisive end.

May the victims young and old be vindicated and the glory be YOURS in this outstanding victory. We owe it all you you, LORD.

It’s in Jesus’ Name we kneel and pray. Establish your peace as we put You back in your proper place.
