While our schools are far from godly today, they did not get there overnight. We must pray that evil ideologies are removed from schools.
From CBN News. A French teacher dressed in drag, strutted his stuff before students at a Wisconsin high school.
Visit your state page to pray.
In Michigan, state attorney general Dana Nessel mocked conservatives during a civil rights summit, saying that drag queens are not a problem for kids seeking a good education.
“Drag queens make everything better. Drag queens are fun. Drag queens are entertainment. And ya know what else I’ll say that was totally not poll tested? I say this: a drag queen for every school!” Nessell exclaimed.
In school districts throughout America, parents are demanding that teachers stop instructing children about gender fluidity and Critical Race Theory. They also want pornographic materials removed from school libraries.
The authors of the new book, Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation, say socialist beliefs like these weren’t introduced overnight – they started creeping into U.S. public school more than one hundred years ago….
Hegseth is a best selling author, and co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend. His co-author, David Goodwin is president of the Association of Classical Christian Schools. They write that educational reformer John Dewey advocated progressive teaching in the 1920’s. And in 1935, after they fled Nazis Germany, Marxists from the Frankfurt School of Social Research introduced their views to students at New York’s Columbia University.
“These were all atheists. These were all socialists, or almost all of them were and their goal was social change, and they knew the schoolroom was the place they could do it. And it started with the removal of God,” Hegseth said.
David Goodwin believes the biggest change sidelining Christian education occurred when the U.S. Supreme Court, under Chief Justice Earl Warren, removed God from the classroom.
“They gradually took prayer out of school, they then took the Bible out of school, and they then forbid really any teaching of Christian instruction in school, ” explained Goodwin. “But that was the kind of the capstone of a long effort. It wasn’t the beginning, it was really the end.”
Also, Goodwin and Hegseth contend that progressives intentionally replaced classical Christian education with American nationalism….
So, do Hegseth and Goodwin believe that America’s elites possess a well-devised spiritual strategy that transcends politics?
“You see, we fight in terms of politics now and may win incremental battles here or there. What the left understood is they had to go to the heart of what made us who we are. What do we value? What’s our vision of the good life? What do we consider our virtues?” Hegseth explained. “And when they targeted that, they targeted at the foundation of who we really are, really the current underneath the top waters of the stream of cultures, the top waters, the current is paideia underneath, and they targeted that….”

As a Nation all of the devices and problems come from not knowing God. Our money has written “In God We Trust.
Economic, all political, criminal situations, violence, drugs, sexual perversions, addictions, cultural disparity, and world wide problems would cease when hearts are transformed by returning and trusting in the God that made heaven and earth.
Please, cooperate with each other and homeschool. At least, use private schools that you have vetted and in which you remain an active participant. Do NOT outsource your children’s education.
The State is not God, as there are those who would have it be.
Rising up today fully armored we come against every demonic spirit in the hierarchy of Sat as n. This evil in ALL its manifestations is bound NOW for a thousand years in Jesus Name and th r power of the shed blood. Myriads of warriors are loosed in Jesus Name. They have been waiting for the right Season. We decree it done Our country WILL return to the name above ALL NAMES: GOD ALMIGHTY NOW AND FOREVER AMEN.
Adonai, Father of all, protect the minds of the innocent ones. May your angels prevent the perversion of their spirit that belongs to you.
May all that is against your will be thwarted and made right through the laws you gave us and wrote in our hearts.
May all divisions cease, May the unity in Christ be the law of the land.
Freedom in You is life; there is no more slavery. We are brothers in Christ. Bless this land with strength and integrity. Shield us of the pervasive evil that poisons everything, especially the minds of our youth. We beg for your protection Lord, in the name of Jesus your beloved.
Lockstep: a mode of marching in step by a body of persons going one after another as closely as possible
In lockstep : in perfect or rigid often mindless conformity or unison
Isaiah 44:6 Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.
Galatians 3:26-28 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
2 Corinthians 10:5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
1 Corinthians 2:16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
Jeremiah 23:29 “Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”
We believe in God, the Maker of Heaven and Earth. We believe in His Only begotten Son Jesus Christ, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Through our faith Him, we too are children of God. We are in lockstep but not in mindless conformity, WITH THE MIND OF CHRIST. I pray we are so sanctified in Truth, ALL argument or lofty opinion raised against God, would be destroyed. “Is not My Word like fire,” declares the LORD, “like a hammer that smashes a rock?” YES LORD, IT IS! I pray this evil is rooted out and while we stay in lockstep, You take Your mighty hammer to it. I praise You Father, Son, and Holy Spirit over this evil and all evil. I praise You now and forever. Amen
Father, we cry out, “Your kingdom come, YOUR WILL BE DONE IN OUR SCHOOLS, on earth, in the US, as it is in Heaven.” Please send warrior angels to protect our children in their schools. Be their shield, Abba! Holy Spirit, stir their hearts to reject these evil ideologies. We declare that they will long for TRUTH in their inner parts. We declare Your love, Your authority, and Your Name, O Holy King Jesus, over every American school, over every child in our nation! Protect them, we pray!
Amen
Thanking God and giving Him glory, that His word is truth and will not return void. Matthew 19:14 KJV But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me for such is the kingdom of heaven. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. The students in our schools are the future of the church we have a responsibility as believers of Jesus Christ to continue praying by the leading of the Holy Spirit for them. Zechariah 4:6 For it’s not by might nor by power but by His Spirit, says the Lord almighty. Thanking God for the move of His Holy Spirit that is coming to our schools that will go ablaze across America and nations so they know who they are in Christ and they wont fall for the lies of the enemy. He is a Father to the Fatherless and Mother to the Motherless Jesus loves this generation we shall stand and see the salvation of the Lord. Thank you IFA may the Lord bless your faithfulness in praying without ceasing, Lord your Kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Love in Christ, Women of The Sweet Hour of Prayer
