The North Carolina state legislature overrode Gov. Roy Cooper’s (D) veto, passing a law that prevents minors from undergoing transgender medical procedures.

GOP supermajorities in the statehouse approved the law which forbids cross-sex hormones, puberty-blocking drugs, and genital-altering surgeries for those under 18. Two House Democrats joined all present Republicans in supporting the override bid. …

The law takes effect immediately, but a legal challenge is expected. Minors who had begun gender-altering attempts before Aug. 1 may continue receiving those drugs and procedures if their doctors deem it medically necessary and their parents consent.

North Carolina is now the 22nd state to enact legislation restricting or banning gender-altering procedures on minors.

Legislature Also Overrides Cooper’s Other Vetoes

The North Carolina legislature also voted to override a veto of another bill that will limit LGBTQ teaching in early grades in public schools.

The law now requires that public school teachers in most circumstances alert parents before they call a student by a different name or pronoun. It also bans indoctrination about gender identity and sexuality in K-4 classrooms.

Both chambers also voted Wednesday to override Cooper’s veto of another bill blocking transgender persons with male DNA from playing on girls’ sports teams from middle and high school through college. It, too, immediately became law. …

Sorry I was a little late with my prayer. I was at church and had not looked at my phone to see if IFA was back up again.

My question how can these Governors live with them selves. This is an odd line for government to try and enforce. Personally I don’t think any level of government should be regulating the medical industry or limiting a residents medical options or choices. “If the schools, teachers, principals and media were honest about complications during gender affirmative surgeries, less children would identify as trans. 1 John- 2-28-3:10” God says about the children-“And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him. See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. … God I see a part of the problem with the children wanting to be something they are not. It’s called not feeling loved, or the darkness of spirits has instilled this culture of perversion upon parents, teachers, Dr,s, to instill lies in children. These children do not understand that DNA cannot be changed, if you are a boy, or if you are born a girl you stay as you are or how God meant you to be. These people have no right to help these children, they are going against God in this perverted culture choice. Teachers are suppose to teach Math, English, Spelling they have no Authority in a child’s body except to teach. DR.’s are not proper legal physicians if they perform surgeries on a child or give hormone without permission or discuss with a parent about sex change. A Dr knows you cannot change a sex, Ephesians 6-1-4 says “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and desire God intended. “ God says transgender is a sin.”Humankind’s potential for self-destruction through the lusts of the flesh appears to be limitless. While there is nothing new in the sensual sins and wanton debauchery that we witness in our culture, technology has undoubtedly advanced its influence. And one such sin is being promoted in an apparently fanatical fashion: transgenderism.” The Medical truth about Gender Dysphoria. “Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of male and female, respectively – not genetic markers of a disorder. The norm for human design is to be conceived either male or female. Human sexuality is binary by design with the obvious purpose being the reproduction and flourishing of our species. This principle is self-evident.” Science and God approved, God who does the teaching on what is the truth, one man, one woman only (2) sexes? Gods answer! “When we prefer unbelief to faith in God, in order to advance the lusts of our flesh, we inevitably, and often irretrievably, destine ourselves for judgment. In the cases before us, the people groups living in Canaan digressed from what is clearly shown in creation and in God’s Word—that we are born as either male or female, and that our God-given human sexuality is divinely sanctioned, and most beautifully expressed as complimentary (man and woman), and within the covenanted bonds of matrimony (husband and wife). These words in the Bible says it all no questions asked. “Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created” (Genesis 5:2).

“…state-by-state battle to regulate transgender medical treatments for children.”

“North Carolina is now the 22nd state to enact legislation restricting or banning gender-altering procedures on minors.”

Esse Quam Videri, “to be rather than to seem,” is the North Carolina state motto

Acts 3:15 You killed the Author of Life, but God raised him from the dead. And we are witnesses of this fact!

Jeremiah32:27. “Look, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?”

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for this victory but for me, it won’t truly feel that way until all 50 states are included. I pray You will move through the rebellious states by raising up leaders who honor You, the Author of Life. You say, “is anything to difficult for Me?” No Lord and God Almighty, nothing is! You are our supermajority Lord, You are the POWER OF ONE! May the honor and protection of all children BE rather than to seem. May You call this into BEING just as You did in the beginning when You created all things. Let there BE….and it was good. I ask this in the Good Name of Jesus Christ who IS the firstborn over all creation. Amen
