PRAYER FOCUSES
1. In California, a bill that would let 12-year-olds leave home if a mental health professional approves it, for example if the child wanted a sex change or an abortion, no parental permission required, has passed in the state Assembly and is now winding its way through the state Senate. NO!
Is this the future?!
To be clear, California currently has legal pathways to help children who have abusive parents. These bills aren’t about situations where it is genuinely dangerous for a child to stay with his parents. As Washington state Rep. Cyndy Jacobsen, a Republican, noted in a floor speech earlier this month, “We have procedures for [Department of Children, Youth, and Families] if children are abused or neglected or their parents kick them out.”
No, what’s going on here isn’t about protecting kids. It’s about making sure that any child who wants an abortion or transgender medical procedures isn’t prevented by their parents. We are talking kids, who at 12 years old is in no position to make such a life-altering change to their body which will affect their soul, spirit, and future~ NO!
2. TWO TEENAGE MALE STUDENTS WERE STABBED on Monday in front of Los Angeles High School where they attended. Suspects escaped in two different vehicles...Victims are in stable condition, PTL! Counselors will be on-site on Tuesday for those who need them. This is an on-going investigation, no arrests yet.
Every child should be safe at school, yes? Bring back the School L.A. Police who were removed by foolish staff. Let's pray for wisdom for the Superintendents of Schools and Administrators who make life-altering decisions regarding our children!
3. WHERE ARE THE MISSING 85,000 IMMIGRANT CHILDREN?!
We have highlighted this situation before for prayer and action, but it appears nothing is being done to try to find the children who are at the mercy of their 'guardians.'
NOTE: Since President Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th president over two years ago, more than 3.5 million illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border. Since January 2021, border patrol agents have encountered over 356,000 unaccompanied minors at the southern border, most of whom authorities released into the U.S.
Thank God for caring Legislators like Senator Josh Hawley who called on FBI Director Chris Wray to launch a full-scale investigation into some 85,000 migrant children who were released into the U.S. and are 'lost', unaccounted for, most likely handed over to modern-day slave traders.
The Senator stated "They are forced into factory work under punishing conditions. They are forced to make auto parts, process meat in slaughter- houses, and reroof houses. They are denied food, education, and sometimes fear for their lives.
They suffer sexual violence, sex-trafficking. In a country that claims to value the rule of law and the protection of children, this is unconscionable.”
4. DIVORCES INCREASE when....
According to a new study, couples who lived together before marriage were 48% more likely to divorce than couples who moved in together after being engaged or married.
Cohabitation, or living together before marriage , has become a prominent and growing mode of relationship development. About 70% of marriages start with cohabitation , and around 50% to 65% of the country believes living together before marriage will actually improve the likelihood of staying together.
"Although many believe that living together before marriage will lower their odds of divorce, there is no evidence that this is generally true and a lot of evidence that it is not true," an Institute for Family Studies report states.
The key to a lasting relationship, the report suggests, is "either not to cohabit before marriage or to have settled the big question about marital intentions before moving in together."
Accordingly, 34% of married couples who moved in together before getting engaged divorced, whereas 23% of couples who cohabitated after engagement ended in divorce.
You know Beloved, here's the bottom line: Many call it "cohabitation" instead of what the Bible calls living together/having sex outside of marriage: fornication. If you have a child, grandchild, or friend thinking of moving in with their 'honey', and if they call themselves a Christian, please remind them what the Lord says in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10...at least your part is done if they choose to ignore what God says...but if you speak out the truth in love, you may save them and their partner from the pit of hell!
5. LOS ANGELES officials have been encouraging residents to ditch their cars and use mass transit instead—but who would want to use it, seeing as crime has risen 21 percent across the system from the previous year? 21%! That's crazy!
Look at what happened last week: A homeless drug addict bit off part of an LAPD officer’s finger on his right-hand last week, and doctors were unable to reattach it.
Please pray for our Law Enforcement Officers. The honest and good ones put their life on the line every day for our safety. Yet so many judge and condemn
them without realizing the seriously dangerous positions and the hatred they face these days...
I recently read an article when someone walked up to a Police Officer sitting in his vehicle, shot and killed him. Leaving his wife and children behind.
Yes there can be a bad apple in every bushel basket, but we need to pray for them and their households. The divorce and suicide rates are sky high for them! The stress of the job is huge, never knowing if the person they pull over for a traffic violation will shoot them dead, or the apartment they are called to because of a domestic violence call will turn into a shoot-out...consider all the drug lords they deal with, gangs fighting, the pimps, demon-possessed people, mentally ill people who see them as the enemy, obnoxious drunk drivers, 'cop haters' , or whatever other situation they face...most of them took the job to defend the innocent and get the bad guys off the street.
We need to PRAY for them and give a word of encouragement to them when we see them out in public, even picking up their breakfast tab, or coffee and donuts! 😄
6. WHAT?! NO, THIS IS JUST WRONG AND EVIL!
On March 3, four female freshmen students participated in a swim unit as part of their physical education class. After finishing the course, the four entered the high school girl’s locker room and noticed a senior male student, who was not in the physical education class the girls participated in, near the facility’s
lockers and benches. The girls “were surprised to see him in the locker room” but had “a general idea that the student identifies as transgender and has used girls’ bathrooms before.”
While uncomfortable, the girls purportedly did not interact with the male student and proceeded to the shower area with their swimsuits on. While the girls were rinsing off, the female-identifying senior approached them, allegedly announced,
“I’m trans, by the way,” and “undressed fully and showered completely naked right next to one of the girls.”
While initially facing the wall, the male student “eventually turned and fully exposed his male genitalia to the four girls,” at which point the female students quickly left the facility.
This is unacceptable! To me, it is shocking that a male (and a senior!) was allowed into the shower/locker room area with the young teen girls. Parents, do you know what is happening in your children's school?

7. FOOLISHNESS!
A school district in Essex Junction Vermont sent home a letter to parents of fifth graders about the annual science and health unit. They decided to use gender inclusive language to align with their "equity" policy.
Instead of saying boy or man – the kids will have to say "person who produces sperm."
Instead of saying girl or female – the kids have to say "person who produces eggs."
Mr. Rogers used to sing and teach the song: "Boys are boys from the beginning. Girls are girls right from the start. Only girls can be the mommies. Only boys can be the daddies." - Todd Starnes
It's simple, true science, and in alignment with the Word of God...yet many public schools continue on with their ridiculous and false indoctrination, causing confusion to our children. STOP IT!
8. WHAT?!
Nearly 700 professors at the University of North Carolina signed a public letter opposing a proposed law that would require students to take courses on America’s government and Founding documents.
The proposed law would entail students learn about the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Emancipation Proclamation...yet all the professors are against it?! Isn't that the basis of how our nation was founded? We know the enemy wants to erase history, even some want to try to convince students the Holocaust never happened...you cannot change history! Our children and future generations need to know the truth, yes?
LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, we are so grateful that You see all these wicked things that are happening all around us!
We thank You that we shall not be overcome by evil but we shall overcome evil with good...We shall continue to stand upon Your Word, abiding in Your Love, Your Presence, and the Hope we have in You.
We love You Father Yahwen, Savior and Lord Yeshua, and Helper and Teacher Ruach HaKodesh.
Thank You for protecting all of our households, and for making a way when there doesn't seem to be one. Thank You for the challenges and trials that You have allowed in our life to make us stronger, more mature, wiser, more discerning, and more seasoned as we look to You and Your Word for answers.
We love You!
