I Prayed have prayed
Lord Jesus, the god of this world wants to confuse and deceive us, but we do not have to fall prey to the lies. Give us wisdom and discernment that helps us detect and expose falsehoods. Embolden us to speak truth with great courage.
Reading Time: 5 minutes

Lies come in all shapes and sizes, but no matter how big or small they are, the intent is to confuse and deceive. This week, the lies are all over the map, but with the discernment of the Holy Spirit, intercessors can spot them right away.

Do you want state prayer alerts?

 

This first lie told by the Left this week was posted by the Libs of TikTok. A video shows Michigan State Education Superintendent Sue Carnell being questioned about how many genders there are. Initially, Carnell smiles without answering, but when asked again, she states, “Different people have different beliefs on that.”

While Carnell refuses to acknowledge biological facts, the truth is that the state she represents has approved a new sex-ed curriculum for K-12 that aligns with her delusional thinking.

Michigan’s Sex Ed Curriculum Ignores Biology

In early November, Michigan’s State Board of Education approved new health education standards, which “included expanded objectives around LGBTQ+ relationships and gender.” Specifically, in grades 6-8, the draft standards “address gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation,” which are “distinct components of every individual’s identity.”

Other concerning details included guiding educators “to explain that emotional, romantic and/or sexual attraction to individuals of the same or different genders can change over time.” Additionally, the standards focus on “fostering empathy and respect around issues related to sexuality and gender.”

While parents are given the choice to opt out of the sex education curriculum, the truth is that a large population of students will be brainwashed by these ideas as they are exposed to them year after year in the Michigan public schools.

After the Libs of TikTok posted the video of Carnell’s answer, X users quickly responded. One stated, “If you can’t even acknowledge such a basic reality as biology, why should you be entrusted to teach kids anything more complicated? This is the bedrock foundation of thought, and kids aren’t even being taught it. No wonder students are struggling so much.”

It’s certainly true that many educational leaders have become liberal activists instead of teaching America’s youth the academics and wholesome values that are needed for them to become moral, productive citizens. We must pray that these educators embrace biological truth, rather than the lies of gender ideology.

Democrats Tell Military to Defy Orders

The second lie told by the Left this week involves some brazen Democrats in Congress who seem to think that defying military orders is the American thing to do.

The Democrats involved in this scheme released a controversial video message that encourages those who serve in the military to “refuse to follow illegal orders” that have been issued by President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The video begins as Democrats (all of whom have served in the military or the intelligence community) introduce themselves. The line-up includes: Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan (former CIA officer), Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona (former Navy captain and astronaut), Rep. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania (former Navy officer), Rep. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire (former intelligence officer in the Navy Reserve), Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania (former Air Force officer), and Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado (former paratrooper and Army Ranger).

 Democrats take turns speaking, each one revealing a different part of the following message:

We want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community who take risks each day to keep Americans safe. We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military. But that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders…You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution. We know this is hard and that it’s a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you’re serving in the CIA, the Army, our Navy, the Air Force, your vigilance is critical and know that we have your back. Because now, more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution, and who we are as Americans.”

Americans Respond

Comments about the video were plentiful. “We are witnessing the most corrupt, anti-American, Godless, and criminal Democrat party in American history,” responded one user.

Lily Tang Williams, a survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution and opposing candidate to Rep. Maggie Goodlander for the 2026 New Hampshire Congress, stated, “What specific orders to the military are not legal? They should be clear by listing them instead of gaslighting the public, especially the Left. Did she (referring to Goodlander) say anything about Biden’s autopen, or her husband Jake Sullivan, in the Russia Gate scam?”

Others commented about the hypocrisy of such a message when unlawful COVID-19 vaccine mandates were forced upon military members and pushed by Democrats during the pandemic.

The truth is that Left-leaning leaders are willing to sacrifice everything for their liberal agenda, even if it means weakening our military. We must pray that our service members will stand strong in the face of this blatant propaganda.

Mamdani Endorses Anti-American Candidates

The third lie told by the Left this week revolves around the newly elected mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, who is set to take office in January 2026. While the Left thinks he’s the greatest hope for their city, the truth is that he’s supporting an agenda that is dangerous and anti-American.

Mamdani makes it no secret that he supports the terrorist-funded organization known as CAIR (Council on Islamic Relations), or that he harbors resentment when it comes to the nation of Israel. But after his mayoral election victory, he’s doing his best to make sure more candidates like him make it to prominent positions in the government.

His most recent plans for endorsement were revealed after a closed-door meeting of the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Mamdani plans to use his political clout to prop up New York state assembly candidate Aber Kawas, who is trying to garner support from the DSA to run in Queens’ 34th District.

Praising Terror Attacks

Aber Kawas, a “longtime Palestinian activist,” once described the 9-11 terror attacks as something that a “couple of people did.” Kawas has also been a speaker with CAIR, a Muslim charity group that has links to Hamas.

Kawas has a history of comments that showcase her anti-American rhetoric. In the past, she has stated, “The system of capitalism and racism and white supremacy et cetera–and Islamophobia–have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people, and so this is a long trajectory and we’re just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9/11. The idea we have to apologize for a terror attack that a couple of people did and then there is no apology or reparations for genocides and for slavery, et cetera – is something I find reprehensible.”

If that weren’t enough, Kawas earned a master’s degree in “Islamic Liberation Theology” from a university in South Africa, and she specializes in pro-Arabization and anti-Israel politics. Investigations into her old social media accounts show that she has defended Al Qaeda operatives, as well as terrorists who have planned synagogue bombings.

Far Left socialist leaders are trying to convince voters that they want to help America, when in fact, they criticize and condemn the very nation they claim to support. Let’s pray that their grand plan to deceive falls apart.

Lord Jesus, the lies of the Left are getting out of hand. Thankfully, Your mighty hand is the one that saves and delivers us from all unrighteousness and deception.

These are just a few of the lies the Left told this week. How are you praying?
