I Prayed have prayed

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio joined a number of others to paint the words “Black Lives Matter” in yellow in front of Trump Tower on New York’s Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th streets.

The city shut down a section of Fifth Avenue early Thursday for the mural. The mayor, a Democrat, along with wife Chirlane McCray, Reverend Al Sharpton, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), helped paint the mural.

Volunteers and more than 20 local artists with the organization Street Corner Resources also joined in. . . .

Several days later, President Donald Trump criticized the move, accusing the mayor of seeking to “paint a big, expensive, yellow Black Lives Matter sign” while the City Council was deciding to pass a measure that would cut $1 billion from the New York City Police Department (NYPD).

Trump added that the move would be “denigrating this luxury Avenue” and would “further antagonize New York’s Finest.”. . .

Editor’s Note: Recently de Blasio has been quoted to say, “Let me tell you, we are not denigrating anything. We are liberating Fifth Avenue.”  In addition, Juliet Germanotta, a Trump supporter, noted; “The Black Lives Matter movement in general is a beautiful thing, but it has been taken over and held hostage by the far-left agenda who are trying to destroy our country,” she told the outlet.

Similar “Black Lives Matters” murals have been painted on other New York City streets and in U.S. cities including Washington, Raleigh in North Carolina, and Oakland in California.

Washington was the first U.S. city to see the “Black Lives Matter” mural painted near the White House, a move allowed by Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser amid protests and riots that followed the death of George Floyd on May 25. Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis.

God does not discriminate and neither should we. Acts like this do not unite us and do not bring peace to hearts.

This is truly a time of chaos, confusion, deception, violence, lies, and rebellion against authority. I have never seen such defiance and lawlessness in those in government (all areas) against the authority of God and His laws. But, we are in the last days as Jesus said. The Word also says that “the wicked shall not prosper in their way” (Psalm 37), and they shall not get away with anything–justice shall be rendered by the righteous Living God! God is in no way bothered by all of this because, much to the ignorance and spiritual blindness of these “demonic-controlled useful puppets”, His plan and strategy is already in motion for His purposes and His people will win because Jesus has already won the battle, defeated the devil and all of hell, and given us the victory. “It is finished! Jesus said.” The Word of God says in Galatians 6:7: “Be not deceived God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.” My prayer is: Lord, have mercy on the people in America especially on those who are in authority in government, in Jesus name. Amen.

ALL LIVES MATTER in God’s eyes. The left have taken and used this blm for more evil. blm is an evil read what they stand for. Evil personified they hate President Trump for all of his accomplishments. He has done more for the black community THAN ALL THE EVIL ONES WHO HAVE BEEN IN POLITICS FOREVER.. They are all trying to thwart God’s plan. It is absolutely disgusting how the hate for a President will cause all of this evil. The Russia collusion hitlary, Ukraine biden and son, the impeachment debacle sham hoax, and this plandemic scam all to steal the election. It’s all too convenient. People wake up. No Christian’s wake up. ENOUGH ALREADY

In Jesus Name, I pray for Your mercy and grace, Heavenly Father to sweep around, over, under, and through
all communities in America, and especially to disband the evil attempts to overrun and overtake what belongs to the all citizens.

I pray each person deceived into believing painting signs, defacing and destroying public property will be turned to examine their own hearts first before they paint signs, or “cast the first stone”. I pray for Revival to come to every place in our country from the “mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam”. I pray for Your wisdom and knowledge to usurp all misguided, misled motives and resulting actions.
Soon enough, the yellow and black letters will be trampled and fade, but, in the meantime, I pray You will send someone bold as King David, or Samson to cross out “Black” and paint, ALL”. Amen.

I pray that somehow, someway this mayor would be forced to step down. It is being said that what is happening to New York, is a judgement from God because of the Governor’s horrific decision to make abortion legal up to birth. These men where voted in by the people. Now, the people are reaping what they’ve sown. Lord, please take what the enemy meant for evil and use it for good.

Father God, please have mercy on DeBlasio and Cuomo, put in their heart commitment to apologize to the people of NY and to step down. Raise up Daniel for their replacement to help manage NY so that crime will be less yet many will receive Your Salvation including DeBlasio and Cuomo and their family. Thank You Jesus.

Black eyes in Christ realize the truth. Real eyes see those lies…nyc and other states just being rebellious and spiteful to pass their own ungodly agenda. They are trying to usurp authority…total jezebel spirit??? Anyhow, not all blacks and minorities are fallen for this. Prayers are definitely going up for our land, and to uphold justice. Yes we are for the police and other governing authority…not leftist destruction….And respect and prayers for the office of presiding president for his wisdom and protection. And to be surrounded by wise godly counsel.

I am praying for all of these blinded people who are being led by satan to destroy our nation. They should live in cuba, north korea, hong kong, china, viet nam, venezuela-since they do not love our country. Lord, send they away from here. Let them fail in their evil deeds. In jesus name i pray, amen

I pray for Mayor Bill de Blasio salvation and that his eyes would be open to the truth. I pray for the hearts of all those involved in this movement would be changed. To many innocent people have lost their lives. I pray for the families, strength and to draw closer to Jesus.

Father, many black people are hurting. Heal their broken hearts and bind up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3). Give them understanding that this movement is based on anti-God themes like destruction of the nuclear family. I pray you would change the hearts of the leaders of this movement and give them faith in you.

Under Trump, in the past 3.5 years
Black home ownership : UP
Black unemployment : DOWN
Black owned businesses opened : UP
Blacks enrolled in college : UP
The enemy has deafened their ears and blinded their eyes .
Speak to their hearts, Lord, that they would not believe lies

This is appalling, disgusting and mindless anarchical behavior. Where is reason?

Lord open the eyes of the blind that may see and understand; repent and change their ways.
