BELOVED FAMILY of GOD!
WE REJOICE that our Lord and Savior paid the price for our sins, washing us clean through His Shed Blood and giving us the HOPE of eternal LIFE! He continues to cleanse us when we sin, repent, and then turn away from evil...gossip, pride, lust, manipulation, lukewarmness, whatever keeps us separated from the Lord's Will for us...He is faithful, kind, merciful, patient, loving, just!
THANK YOU FATHER GOD, KING YESHUA, and HOLY SPIRIT!
"We love You LORD and we need You every moment of every day. Amen."

By now we all know that the enemy, operating through his deceived, demonically led army, is intent on destroying unborn babies in the womb through abortion, little children by abusive, sexual indoctrination, our youth by stealing their God-assigned gender, male adults by infiltrating women's sports teams through transgenderism, kids kidnapped and sold into sex-trafficking, horrible shootings/murders, and shouts of rage and physical attacks on college campuses against those standing for truth.
If the people of God do not repent for passivity and silence, and take a firm, bold stand against such evil, the atrocious situations will continue with even greater force and more tragic, life-destroying incidents which are in opposition to God's Plans.
What will be our children and grandchildren's future?
As Followers of Yeshua-Jesus, we the Church can help determine the future of our children through fervent prayer, sounding the alert, raising up Godly leaders, and letting our voices be heard.

PRAYER FOCUSES
#1. This month, Governor Gavin Newsom and two other Democrat governors bragged about spending taxpayers’ money to buy stockpiles of abortion drugs...Their actions came in response to a lawsuit from a group of doctors challenging the FDA’s approval of the drug mifepristone to abort unborn babies. On Friday, a federal judge agreed to temporarily block the drug, but the ruling does not take effect until later this week and the Biden administration already is appealing. So, our Governor decided to purchase another two million pills at (taxpayers) expense. People are dying on the street from homeless and needed mental health care, and Newsom chooses to spend our money to continue to murder babies....
#2. PARENTS are to RAISE and PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN...
It is not the right of the School to keep secrets from parents! But that's what's happening...
Currently, if a child in a California K-12 public school publicly announces to teachers and students that they want to be known as a gender that is different from the gender listed on their official documents, school employees are told they must keep this information secret from the parents. And with ALL the indoctrination of little children, even beginning in kindergarten, that is sinful to me! Kids need to be protected, not encouraged by teachers with an agenda to "change their identity!"
Two Republican Assembly Members (Yuba City and Riverside) have authored and introduced AB 1314 which would require school staff to notify parents within three days if they discover a student is identifying as a different gender than on their enrollment. But unbelievably, The Chairman of the Education Committee, a Democrat from Torrance is refusing to set a hearing for AB 1314, against 71% of voters who believe schools should inform parents! The pride, power, and manipulation of some Legislators is beyond outlandish!
There is a humungous battle between evil and good within our Legislators. Please call your Assembly Member and let your voice be heard. And please pray for our righteous-seeking Legislators who continue to get hit hard by fiery darts from the enemy in an attempt to cause them great harm, even take them out!
"But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck,
and he were drowned in the depth of the sea." - Matthew 18:6
#3. Remember former NCAA championship swimmer Riley Gaines?
In 2021, Gaines tied in a women's swimming tournament with William 'Lia' Thomas, a man who identifies as a woman. Organizers gave Thomas the trophy and not Gaines. Interesting, when Thomas belonged to a men's swimming league before he decided to call himself a female and enter swimming competitions as such, he "swam average and below average" according to sport statistics.
Because Gaines felt that men competing in women's sports is unfair to biological females who have trained for years only to be usurped by a male, Gaines has become an advocate for defending biological female athletes. It is not only about unfair competition, but the concerning fact that males like Thomas are allowed in women's locker rooms and shower areas...
Please read what happened when Riley Gaines was invited to a Turning Point USA and Leadership Institute event at San Francisco University to deliver a speech about saving women's sports. As an invited guest to share her experiences and thoughts, she was viciously attacked by radical transgender college students!
The video in the article below does not show when the transgender male physically attacked and punched her, but it does show campus security police after they helped her get to a safe place until additional police showed up.
Please note: There are ugly words in the video, with an unbelievable amount of rage and anger shouted at Gaines. What ever happened to an invited guest speaker being able to voice their opinion followed with adult
conversation, questions and answers, afterward?
Whether it's indoctrination into the LGBTQS agenda, vitriol and lies about Israel, pro-abortionists screaming "My body, my choice" at the expense of the life - the baby - in the womb, teachers teaching hate toward America creating great division, our students, with many professors leading them, are heading into a life of dire darkness, depression, and a maze of confusion.
Article regarding Riley Gaines:
Update: The man who punched Gaines has not been arrested, days later...tragic injustice.
#4. And on it goes...
We continue to PRAY for all those who don't realize how special the Lord made them when He formed them in their mother's womb. The lack of knowing who their Heavenly Father and Savior truly are causes them to open doors to inflict dangerous changes upon themselves - body, soul, and spirit. There are so many insecure, angry, hurt, depressed, oppressed, hopeless, sad people who need Yeshua/Jesus. The numbers continue to grow as our society embraces and promotes gender confusion and sex-change, which we know is impossible. A person cannot change their DNA. We pray and desire them all to be set free.
#5. Pray that murderous gang activity would stop!
And for the miraculous salvation of the head of the gangs, as others 'under' them are typically threatened with losing their life if they leave a gang...
Tragic, apparent gang-related shooting:
Five-year-old Eliyanah Crisostomo was hit by ‘one of many bullets’ fired at the car she and her parents were traveling in on their way to a birthday dinner at the Outback Steakhouse along Interstate 880 near the Fremont-Milpitas border at 6:40pm. Her parents live in Santa Clara County, just outside of San Jose, California.
"HOLY SPIRIT, please comfort the parents and loved ones of this little girl whose life was destroyed...may the murderers be found, brought to justice, and be saved into the Kingdom of God, never ever turning back to the devil's evil plans. We pray in Yeshua-Jesus Name."
#6. REPEAL SENATE BILL 357 NOW!
How many more women will fall victim to sex traffickers before Governor Newsom & Capitol Democrats realize legalizing loitering for prostitution was a horrible idea?! Did you know that is happening on our streets?!
PLEASE watch this video:
CA mayors, police chiefs say sex trafficking operations are 'out of control,' join effort to repeal loitering law - ABC7 San Francisco (abc7news.com)
Senator Scott Wiener is part of the California LGBTQ Legislators committee, and is the author and/or supporter of numerous anti-Christ, pro-abortion bills.
May the Lord deal with him, in His Justice and Mercy. So many children and young people are being harmed by the wicked bills he writes...
#7. SCHOOL CHOICE!
Senator Shannon Grove states: "We cannot continue to ignore the fact that traditional public schools aren’t working for everyone.
SB 292 and SCA 5 will provide alternative educational opportunities and put students first."
Let's help get kids educated in the best and most healthy environment possible for them!

We continue to pray for the powerful mountain of movies, arts, and entertainment that affects nations...
Please pray:
1.For God's favor, protection, and provision upon Christ-followers. And that all actors, writers, directors, producers, engineers, sound staff, and everyone else involved in Hollywood would come to know, love, and follow Yeshua-Jesus and His Word, and boldly reflect Him in their works. And that prayer would arise on-set,in dressing rooms, and on street corners!
2. For Ted Baehr and his Movieguide Staff. To review a movie before you spend your hard-earned money, go to: www.movieguide.org It's a wonderful website to check out, filled with great info!
3. For Karen Covell, Hollywood Prayer Network, and those who faithfully intercede for all involved for a holy shift in that hugely influential arena. www.hollywoodprayernetwork.org
4. May multitudes more God-centered, Kingdom-focused movies be produced! A new movie that has soared at the box office the past two weekends is "His Only Son." Wolfgang Kovacek said it is an outstanding movie!
