  Next PRAYER CALL: Wednesday, March 15th, 2023 at 12:00 PM PST
 
 
DEAR BELOVED FAMILY of GOD!

Isn't it exciting to KNOW that we are children of the Most High God, the
Creator of heaven and earth, the One who formed us in our mother's womb
and breathed LIFE into us?

"BEHOLD what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!
And that is what we are! The world does not know us, because it does not know Him." - 1 John 3:1

In these times where the sheep and goat are clearly being divided according to what people choose - good or evil, truth or lies - we continue to pray for the lost/unsaved, for the lukewarm to get fired up, for the prodigals to return home!

You and your fervent prayers matter! We love and appreciate you, thank you for standing in the gap for those who need the Lord, salvation, encouragement, and help both in the physical and spiritual realms!

PRAYER FOCUSES
1. AB 1314
California teachers, counselors and other school employees who learn that a student is publicly identifying as transgender would be forced to inform
that student’s parents, under a bill proposed by Assemblyman Bill Essayli, R-Riverside.
Assembly Bill 1314 gives school employees three days to notify parents in writing if they learn that a student is publicly identifying as transgender,such as by participating in gender-segregated sports programs or using bathroom facilities for a gender other than the one appearing on their birth certificate.
“Parents are not spectators of their kids. They’re parents, and responsible for their well-being,” Essayli told The Bee in an interview.
Essayli’s bill has been condemned by LGBTQ lawmakers and advocacy organizations, including Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, and Equality California.

Just so you know Wiener's heart and agenda, two wicked Bills he authored:
A - Wiener co-authored Senate Bill 179 in 2017 to create a third, non-binary gender option on government documents, which passed in 2018.
B - Wiener introduced Senate Bill 145 on January 18, 2019. The bill proposed to remove the requirement to place someone convicted of non-forcible oral
or anal sex with a minor over the age of 14 (provided the convicted is less than 10 years older) on the sex offender registry, instead leaving this to the judge’s discretion, as was the case for vaginal sex. He argued that existing law was discriminatory towards LGBT couples where the partners were just above and below the age of legal consent.

Wiener received online harassment and death threats from those who claimed the bill protected pedophiles. Yet the bill was signed into law by Gavin Newsom in September 2020.
Example: A 25-year-old man is now legally allowed to 'woo' and shower a young, impressionable 15 year old girl or boy with gifts, compliments, pressure then have sex with them, and when discovered by the parents or someone else, that sexual pervert is not to be listed on the sex offender's registery...so evil.

To self-proclaimed homosexual Wiener's disagreement with AB 1314, Essayli replied: “My bill is aimed at supporting trans minors, not hurting them.
The notification requirement is only triggered when a minor is already publicly identifying by a different gender at school.”

Parents need to protect their minor children whom they are responsible for, yet the goal of the LGBTQ legislators is to keep things like a total life-and-body change hidden from parents. NO! Wrong! Stop it!

2. SENATE BILL 14 from CALIFORNIA SENATOR SHANNON GROVE
"What is happening in San Francisco right now should be alarming to every American! Pimps following mothers taking their kids to school and
prostitutes walking in broad daylight in traffic have become common scenes in California. My bill, SB 14, would hold perpetrators who are buying and
selling human beings accountable." Every Legislator should agree and pass this Bill!

3. ASSEMBLY BILL 957
Current law allows parents to object to their child’s legal request for a change of gender and/or name on government documents. AB 957 will force family
courts to ignore the parents’ objections and rule in favor of the minor’s request. AB 957 will also force family courts to consider whether or not a parent affirms their child’s gender identity when making custody determinations.
This bill is a direct attack on parental rights and parental authority. Parents, not the government, should have the right to determine what is best for their child.

AB 957 will be heard in the California Assembly Judiciary Committee on March 21st at 9am. The Committee is not allowing phone testimony any longer, so the best way to object to this bill is by contacting Assembly Judiciary Committee and urging members to VOTE NO on AB 957.

4. OH MY! Stanford Law School students dishonor and yell at a Judge who was invited to speak to them...
A crowd of jeering Stanford Law School students shouted down, yelled profanities and sexual mockery at Fifth Circuit Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan.
Stanford Law School Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion Tirien Steinbach then intervened, not to admonish the students, but to spend several minutes berating the Judge for having the audacity to appear at Stanford Law School, which was traumatic to the students given his conservative judicial decisions: “Is the Juice” of his appearing “worth the squeeze” on students, she asked.
This all was performative. None of those protesting students were forced to go into the classroom holding the lecture, and they engaged in a ritual walkout after they had prevented the Judge from giving his prepared remarks.

6. ISRAEL continues to be attacked. We know the enemy surrounds them. We continue to PRAY for wisdom and discernment for their leaders, for

those in need and do something to help, besides prayer..."Faith without works is dead." - James 2:14-26

HOLLYWOOD
We continue to PRAY for a turning toward the LORD and His Word for everyone involved with movies, television, arts and entertainment. It's happening! May wholesome, Bible-based, faith and family entertainment
continue to overtake evil.

1. JESUS REVOLUTION movie: This powerful Baptism scene had me in tears! https://youtu.be/zLfp9O8v7_w

2. COME OUT IN JESUS NAME movie.
This movie will be showing again in select theaters two days in April.
Ren Schufman (Pastor) watched the movie preview last night and said:
"Warning! You are about to see clips of demons being cast out of just a few of the 2000 movie theaters last night that showed the movie 'Come Out in Jesus Name'.
In one theater I heard they shut down the movie in the middle because people were on the floor screaming, and they called the police because they didn't know what to do!
This is an awakening, the world can't ignore this. Mass deliverance across the country in theaters. Entertainment gatherings that replaced church in our culture just turned into church!"
 
 
Let's sing this over our household, our county, our nation, over Israel,
the persecuted Church, over whomever/whatever the Holy Spirit leads
as we lift up KING YESHUA- JESUS! - A powerful, declarative song!
