WHAT DID THIS BRAVE SHERIFF DO?
Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes fought back after a Superior Court Judge ordered the release of 1,858 dangerous inmates over concerns about Covid.
In April the anti-American ACLU sued to ‘protect the medically vulnerable’ inmates at the Orange County jail and a radical judge sided with the ACLU.
Sheriff Barnes said he would immediately be appealing the judge’s order to the appellate court, calling the inmates a “significant threat to the public.”
“I have no intention of doing that, of releasing those individuals back into the community. I think they pose a serious threat,” Barnes said.
“We’ve released 1,400 inmates to date since March for low-level offenders. The only inmates remaining now are serious offenders,” Barnes explained. “Of the medically vulnerable, 90 of them are in custody for murder or attempted murder, 94 for child molestation.”
Sheriff Barnes said the inmates who have tested positive for Covid-19 are asymptomatic.

Joshua 1:9, ” Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (NIV)
Lord, we pray for this official and his staff that you will protect them from corrupt judges and other officials. Annoint him with wisdom as he carries out his duties to protect the community.
In the name of Jesus, our Savior, AMEN.
Praise God for common sense! So rare in our leaders today. Lord Jesus, I pray that you will put a hedge around Sheriff Barnes and his family as he takes a stand for common sense. Please raise up others to support him and have his back. Give wisdom to those who are in a position of power so they can block these senseless acts. In the name and power of our Lord Jesus, I ask that You, Lord God, STOP the enemy in their tracks. Reveal their corruption and place uncorrupt judges before them. Let justice prevail over all! Thy Will Be Done.
For our brother in Christ, Sheriff Don Barnes,
To this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified (2 Thessalonians 1:11-12), Amen.
Thank you for standing up to corrupt judges & protecting your community. We will be praying for you.
I raise up this brave man and I pray protection and the blood of Jesus over him! Please everyone, support this man who is risking his career to protect all of us!
Somebody needs to take that judge to court for his irresponsible, lawless order!
Seriously, who oversees these judges? To whom do they answer?
God Bless this sheriff for the courage to stand up for what’s is right and truth!! I pray Psalm 91 over him for a hedge of protection over is family!

Sheriff Barnes may God bless you, protect you, and may you be honored for standing in the gap! These are the types of men that should be leading our cities, counties and states. God rewards those who protect the innocent and stand up for those who may not be able to stand up for themselves. May more men/women like Sheriff Barnes rise up in our nation and guide it back to our precious Heavenly Father.
Amen and amen !
In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray for the Sheriff’s protection and his family. No weapon formed against him will prosper. Thank you Lord for his boldness..I pray you reward him for his stand to protect the community! May he be acknowledged & rewarded in public, Lord. AMEN!
Thank you for upholding your oath “to protect and serve the community “
We are praying for you more courage more resolve and more resources to do the right thing.
There is a deep dark agenda on setting these corrupt people free. Thank G-d for a sheriff like this one. I hope many more sheriffs will man up or woman up in doing the right law abiding decision in their counties or jurisdiction. Continue to pray for our leaders.
Thankful for my sheriff and his stand! Father, be a guard and guide to our sheriff and I pray that many more will be bold and stand.
Thank you for doing your sheriff’s job description with the constitution. It is appalling on letting criminals of this magnitude back into society and harm more innocent children and adults. If you want to be a sheriff learn the constitution. Learn the golden rule and act like a Christian.
Dear Lord I praise you for this Sheriff standing up against unrighteousness I just trust in you to strengthen him Lord to encourage him I pray that you would Grant him boldness that the adversary cannot gainsay or resist I trust in you Lord that you give him wisdom and discernment I pray Lord that you would protect him and his family. I pray Lord that you would just pour out your spirit upon law enforcement in this country and give them courage to fulfill their duties as law enforcement officials and protect them and their families in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
Lord I pray protection and peace on this man his family and all that are involved
I thank YOU for the courage you have given him to stand up to this order. In Jesus name Amen
Father God,
Thank you for this Sheriff’s determination to refuse a judge’s order. We pray for Your favor upon this man. We seek Your protection for him and his family and his staff. We realize that the warfare continues in the heavenlies and pray that Your Word will go forth and not return to You void but shall accomplish what You please and prosper where You send it. We pray that You would send Your Word to the heart of this Sheriff, his family and his staff by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Please raise up laborers into his field of harvest so lasting fruit may come from this circumstance. Allow his example of courage to inspire and motivate others in authority to take a stand against orders that would put the public in harm’s way. Lord, our police, every person vested by the legislating state with police power and authority, are under the attack of the enemy of our souls. We stand against the strongholds that have caused lawlessness to have it’s way. We stand in the gap for those in the police force and ask for forgiveness for those who are not faithfully keeping their code:
‘to serve the community; to safeguard lives and property; to protect the innocent..’
We pray for a Holy Spirit revival to come upon the Police Department throughout our nation, LORD! May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen
Yes Lord, I pray in agreement an stand firm with my brothers and sisters who belong to Christ! I pray that those in positions of authority would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus. In His Name we pray!
Father God,
I lift up Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes and ask You to pour out the blessings of Heaven upon him. Put Your angels around him protecting him, his family, and his department. I ask that the people he serves rally around him in support, and You deal with the judge in Your righteousness. Let Your justice prevail!
Agreeing with this prayer’. May the Lord protect this officer of the law and let no weapon formed against him prosper. May your war angels encircle him. May the community rally around him! May creative solutions be found to keep prisoners safe! In Jesus name we ask!
Amen and Amen!!
An invisible shield around sheriff, his deputies and ALL their families!
May RIGHTEOUSNESS
PrEVAIL in our land.
BE BOLD, BE STRONG FOR THE LORD THY GOD IS WITH THEE.
