I Prayed have prayed
Father, protect parental rights and the children of California. Prevent this bill from passing, Lord, and keep our children safe!

This bill is a severe attack on parental rights in California. For the sake of every parent and child in the state, let’s pray against it!

From California Family Council. Last week, California lawmakers advanced a radical new bill, AB 665, that would allow children as young as 12-years-old to consent to being placed into state funded group homes without parental permission or knowledge. Critics are rightfully equating this to “state-sanctioned kidnapping.”

Who is praying on the wall?

 

The state’s Assembly Judiciary Committee passed the bill, allowing mental health professionals to place children in residential facilities upon a minor’s request, even if the children are not experiencing abuse or neglect at home. The bill also lets professionals decide whether or not to inform a child’s parents “after consulting with the minor.” The bill’s authors claim it will help decrease suicidality among “youth, particularly Black and Latinx youth.” …

CFC Director of Capitol Engagement Greg Burt interviewed one of these witnesses, licensed social worker Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, who has worked in group homes and testified in opposition to AB 665.

“California state is working overtime to separate children from parents,” she said. “Our opposition was saying how mental health is declining in California and across the country, and I think one of the biggest culprits of that is children are being separated from their parents.” …

She also noted that in group homes, children get together and learn bad behaviors, such as cutting and substance abuse from each other.

This bill is now headed to the Assembly floor where every legislator will vote on it.

Parents can’t wait until this nightmare becomes a reality. They need to speak up and demand that their rights be respected.

Californians need to move out of California when their children are 11! All of these laws coming against parents in USA is ONLY so pedophiles can have free access to our children! FATHER GOD I bind this law and command it and every other law against parental authority to be struck down in JESUS NAME! FATHER GOD please expose the pedophile agenda and destroy it in California and all of America in JESUS NAME! Amen!

i have no words. sad. i guess if its suicide or out, id choose out. BUT that being said, howre the parents going to change if they r not confronted. ok little timmy or tammy doesnt like moms or dads rules: dont leave your socks on floor, put in hamper. r we talking about kids who chafe under rjles? or are we talking about children in otherwise apprently healthy environments looking for a little “disneyish vacation” or “thrill” seeking at a foster home? i wonder is there recourse, reconciliation offered? i myself am a “child of the system” who was plucked a rand from the fire by relatives who adopted me. i was lucky. i was told i was “chosen” and i probably have a bigger head today than i should have.

yes there were challenges. Alcoholism in home, raging parental fights until 3 am where i would play my guitar or my radio, and id hear jose’ feliciano sing the star spangled banner at 3 am on CKLW the canadian station across the river, i lived nw of detroit.

yes there were drugs. yes i made bad decisions. horrible decisions, i believe my grandmothers prayers kept me from those. i didnt run away.

my mom and dad–adopted–kept it together until i was 18. then they split.

it was not without challenges. im glad this orphan baby did not end up in a california state run foster home. i could have. my diaper said “property of state od California” when i arrived at my aunts in Michigan. my sister said mom kept the diaper 9yes she washed it)…i didnt see it myself.

to be treasured by your own family, even if 50% of that was a “Disney-esque illusion” is priceless. i had a great childhood, dolls, dollhouses, brothers and sisters whom i still have today, a dad who was out of town a lot, who married the neighbor woman, who had stepbrother and sister who were probably a little embarrassed about the whole thing– it was not their fault, yeah thats life. i kind of get a kick out of reading the tabloids about the rocky marraiges of the rich and famous–that could have been us!!! i was lucky to grow up in a midwestern town where people actually stayed home and cared about their kids, albeit they sometimes medicated their feelings with alcohol and a prescription. i forgive. i go on. would i have been as functional being raised in several serial homes in the california foster system where i was born, in CA? dobt it. it could have been worse. alot worse. i say all this to lend credibilty to my opinions about CA and the foster home situation.

AB 655 will allow “professionals” to decide placement of children despite home security

mental health is declining ….I believe this results in proportion with spiritual health.

Deuteronomy 11:26
See, today I am setting before you a blessing and a curse—

Mark 12: 28-31
“Which commandment is the most important of all?”

Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

Dear Heavenly Father, You created us in Your image. You ordained all of our days before we lived our first. We love because You first loved us. You gave The Law and You gave Salvation. I believe, in YOU and YOU ALONE. Many in the CA government are in total opposition to truth and goodness They do not serve You, Father God, they serve dark desires instead. I pray You will have YOUR way with this abomination parading as a bill. YOU have seen it from its inception and You see where it will be. I am praying all who are in rebellion will know YOUR justice and their efforts, plans and bills will be impotent. May the good people of California be empowered Lord. May those who love You be placed into positions of authority and leadership. I ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ who said with You, Abba Father, NOTHING is impossible. Amen

I declare and decree a Jesus revolution in California. The evil one is targeting God’s children but God in us gives us authority to come against this evil bill. I decree parents and others will rise up and block this bill. I decree a Spirit of conviction over California government to know that the family unit and parental rights are Godly and in need of protection. I speak resistance to groups that are working to destroy our children and loose God’s authority over parents that are in unity with the purposes of Almighty God. Leviathan and the twisting of truth is bound, and the truth of God’s word is loosed over California in Jesus name.
