Merriam-Webster has now changed the definition of words like “girl” and “female” to fit the LGBT agenda. We must pray that progressives would not continue to co-opt our language.
From National Review. Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary has caved to the trans agenda. In order to appease woke activists, the dictionary publisher has added a secondary definition of “female” that defines the term as “having a gender identity that is the opposite of male.” The key term here is “gender identity,” which demonstrates that Merriam-Webster maintains that gender is not directly connected to sex. A female is a woman. Trans-identifying males are not female. However, according to trans activists, men can be women….
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
Ironically, the “kids definition” of the adjective “female” in the online edition remains the original one: “of, relating to, or being the sex that bears young or lays eggs.” We are at a point when the children’s definition of a word is the real definition while the adult definition is politicized nonsense.
The insanity continues. The Left understands the importance of controlling language. Once one controls language, one can shift the culture to one’s will….
How are you praying against the LGBT agenda? Share your thoughts and prayers below.

Insanity. Madness
The Chaos and the Confusion is to much for our kids.
Come and deliver us in the blood of Jesus.
We have fallen so far from God’s
Truth. We have a choice to follow
God’s Word or not. Now is the time for us to speak the truth in love. “ If my people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear them from heaven, will forgive their sins and WILL HEAL THEIR LAND.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
You are either male or female when born.
This just breaks my heart in pieces, seeing these little precious babies being destroyed!!! Father protect these children and break off the blind folds of our wickedly deceived culture and the parents who are believing this ideology.
In Jesus name I pray!!
What have we done?
Lord – have Mercy on us – sinners….! :^(
Lord, I humbly ask You, the Creator, to make Your Truth abound in our society. Impress on Your followers the importance of standing firm, strong and courageous and being Truth tellers. We are the Esther’s of this time in history, please help us to be obedient and submissive to You! Give us the voice that will drown out the lies!!!
FATHER GOD please help YOUR intecessors to read YOUR WORD and to rightfully understand it! Speak to YOUR children (us) and teach us by our HOLY SPIRIT to know YOU and YOUR Ways in JESUS NAME! Amen!
No one can change the way we speak or the definition of the words we know to be true, but ourselves! For example, a trans man, I call a man, no matter how deceived he is in thinking he’s a woman! Vice versa, a trans woman is a woman no matter how she thinks of herself as being a man! (I hope I got those confusing terms right!) The point is we must take our language and culture back by being true to our GOD and ourselves! I speak the truth, not what anyone else wants me to speak! It is a lie to call a man a woman or a woman a man! All liars will find themselves in the lake of fire! FATHER GOD help us to be true to YOU and ourselves rather than to capitulate to what sinners want in JESUS NAME! Amen!
Agreed, Carol – well put!
Praying in agreement, in Jesus’ Mighty Name; amen!
Simplify —- Merriam Webster is NOT the word of God.
The truth of Genesis 1:26-28 comes to mind….in that portion of God’s truth, it doesn’t struggle with gender identity. It specifically states “male & female”. Not any of the other “confusion catch words” the enemy is using today. Who is the author of confusion? Well, for sure – it’s not God our creator!!
I think this article is misleading. I looked up the definition and the definition of male.( I didn’t realize the article included a link to the definition. Everyone should look it up!) The M-W definition is in 7 parts…6 of which are perfectly acceptable. So it’s true (as the article states) that M-W added a secondary definition about gender identity, but it is only one of 7 uses of the word. This article makes it sound like they threw out the old (more biological) definitions, which they did not. They just added one more. (And did the same thing to the definition of male, for those who are wondering.) The misconception (deception?) is further reinforced when the article says that the kids’ definition is more accurate than the adult definition. I didn’t look up the kids’ definition–but it sounds like a SHORTENED form of the adult definition. AND I see it as a positive that they didn’t amend the kids’ definition to include gender identity.
I think we do need to pray for trans people, that they would know love, salvation & transformation from God, but this added sentence is a big “Nothingburger.” And getting all upset about it is cray-cray.
I tell people to go to http://www.kleckfiles.com, because the evil one is mocking christians and people who do not understand the Bible the way it was written. Genesis 1 is the big lie, we were not created in the image of the Lord God Hebrew word 3068, which is the self existent Jehovah. We were made in the image of Gods Hebrew word H430 Elohim, meaning of the Supreme God, organized religion lied to us just like the Government is intentionally destroying the world. The transgenders are changing the definition of male and female because we were made in the image of Elohim and not EL! This is the end of the world as we know it. SATAN’s minions control the governments of the world.
I totally, respectfully disagree with you in JESUS NAME!
The LGBTxyz activists are my enemy and I must pray for my enemies. They are an abomination and a reflection of an overly entitled, sexualy oriented and increasingly deviant society. They will not be satisfied until everyone subscribes to their way of living. They are people solely of the flesh, not of the Spirit. They are wrong-minded and social pariahs who should be exorcised from society. Only Christ can redeem them, I cannot.
Blessings and peace to you, faithful warriors! Put on the Belt of Truth by contacting Merriam-Webster at: https://www.merriam-webster.com/contact-us. Express your Biblical view and demand (gracefully) a retraction. If we UNIFY and enough of us do this, we bring the Kingdom of God to earth. Consider this the blast of the shofar!
The “woke” groups have been co-opting language for awhile, in a manner akin to the Double Speak of Orwell’s mis-titled book, “1984”. Another example is the re-definition of marriage. It would have been possible to give recognition to gay secular unions by a different word/name, but instead, they had to re-define marriage so that it no longer had the traditional meaning, sanctified by religion and also by years of usage, and instead meant something else entirely. It was just one attack on family units as a basis for society.
As for negating the family so that reliance is on the State, read “Brave New World” by Huxley, then read “Brave New World Revisited” by the same author.
I know a lot of married homosexuals because my daughter currently lives as a homosexual. The ones I know are truly good people who are living in deception. I, too, wish they had created another name for their union or just given them the same civil rights that heterosexuals enjoy. There’s no legitimate reason that a gay person can’t be at the bedside of their dying loved one just because they’re not married or related. Had they given them the same rights as heterosexuals there might not have been the clamor to be able to get legally married to obtain those rights. most of them aren’t religious and do it for the secular rights they should have enjoyed anyway. I do wish they couldn’t adopt children but at the same time, aren’t loving parents of the same sex better than living in a group home where many times they are abused and neglected? I don’t know the answers, I just pray for their salvation and deliverance from deception.
C.S. Lewis was prophetic in his writings. Read his book That Hideous Strength.
Why did the “male” definition not change as well? Isn’t THAT purposeful discrimination? No one wants to disrespect the males but they are free to do it to the females….by changing its definition.
THEY WILL ALL PAY!!!!! REVENGE IS MINE SAITH THE LORD!!
Are you troubled today by the bad news? https://theprayersentry.com/2022/07/21/the-lord-victorious/
Thank you for that link.
Yes, judgment does begin at the door of the church.
And it is we, ourselves, who must humble ourselves, pray and seek the very face of our living and almighty God, and turn from our own wicked ways.
In beginning to obey this, His charge, He led me to Galatians 5:19-21 – very sobering….
May God have mercy on us, and grant us repentance, so that He may indeed hear from heaven, forgive the sin of His children called by His name, and heal our land.
Amen
Satan is plotting for the extinction of human race.
Lord, they are changing the truth for a lie,the meaning of words calling, evil is good and good is evil, but Lord you said: “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!

Please Lord, intervine and let them see the error of their ways for the sake of our children. Frustrate their wicked schemes to want to destroy the minds of our children, our way of life that was founded according to our founding father’s principles that is based on Your word. O come to us abide with us our Lord Jesus show Yourself strong on our behalf. Thank You, Amen🙌🙏❤️❤️❤️

Compensated chaos aimed at weakening the people blessed to live in the United States of America. If our children don’t know what they are, they will continue to blindly follow the crap being taught to them in classrooms, media and “story” time performances. Father, I pray that you restore wisdom to the people in this great country. May their eyes look to you and your word for all their thoughts. Wherever there is a spirit of confusion, may they have the strength to recognize it and stomp it out of their lives. Strengthen them spiritually, mentally and physically, so they are equipped to fight all the enemy is forcing upon them. In Jesus name I pray for our children, adults, leaders teachers, parents, and nation.
I am always reading and agreeing with IFA articles. I don’t post my name but count me in the number of people praying
Lord, I pray you will send all your mighty strength to address these problems …before they take.such roots to progress any further. And lord, help us to act accordi g to your will and with your strength and power to do what we need to stop the seeming lunacy and devil following agenda. Please lord, help us stop the devil in his tracks now!
We need a Constitutional Convention where each state can choose between the two agendas- stay with our current Constitution and Bill of Rights or switch to the programs of the progressives. After each chooses we do as others have done and split into two separate and sovereign nations.
Then the liberals can drop the second amendment and alter any other amendments they want to change within the borders of their own country.
The rest of us can proceed to follow the path suggested by the founders within the boundaries of our own nation.
All the bickering can stop. They can then have within their country open borders, anybody can vote, weak military and police, no guns allowed, all new pronouns with limited first amendment rights, schools brainwashing their children, and unlimited socialism.
The rest of us can proceed within our own borders to follow the American culture.
To those who say it can never happen-it already happened when India and Pakistan split and when Czechoslovakia split, and when Yugoslavia split, and when very recently Sudan split.
this is the doing of the antichrist, barack obama and his transgender wife michael.
I don’t know what to say, it’s just simply appalling to me that this world has tossed GOD out of the equation. The creator of all that is and all that will be. That being said = his word and our GOD created men and women= 2 in flesh 🤔
Glorious Righteous Father I beg of thee to intervene and utterly defeat and destroy the evil ones seeking to force these perversions on this nation and your world.
