I Prayed have prayed
Father, protect us from ourselves! We pray that there would be s stop to this growing movement for gender identity language that removes our freedoms.
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Editorial Note:  The Equality Act, HR5, passed the House with total Democrat support and the crossover support of eight Republicans. Dubbed one of the “most disastrous bills” in recent history, if implemented, HR5 would impact every area of civic life with favor for the LGBTQ agenda trumping freedoms of Americans.

From Newsmax:

The LGBT community, which likely represents a minority of the U.S. population, is credited with now pushing a narrative, one which maintains the position that they deserve total equality. This would include the right to be denoted as whichever gender they chose with all such rights accorded them — regardless of genetic endowments. Such an unrealistic comprehension of biology and social dynamics have led to U.S. House passage of HR5 – The Equality Act. A bill which erroneously does just that.

The bill’s preamble declares simply, “To prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and for other purposes.”

This is laudable. But does this portend amending the 1964 Civil Rights Amendment which might be fine, but the substitution for sex with the words sexual orientation are not the same. Therefore, an undermining of the genetic and biological basis of human life and sexuality would hit both women’s issues and concerns hard.

By the same token HR5’s enumeration of inclusions state pregnancy, sexual orientation, or based stereotype, same-sex unions (with all associated ramifications), adoption of children by any person discounting any of these protected classes, the prohibition of “conversion therapy,” and personal behavior acts or any activity in which funding by the federal government is included, and are too numerous to fully detail.

Noting Health and Human Services (HHS) studies that LGBT children are overrepresented in the emergency services for mental health-related issues, foster care services, a concern for human trafficking which involves children — all are also a poorly defined rationale for how this impacts those issues.

Citing the Republican 1868 initiated 14th Amendment, which was ratified to protect the rights of slaves who were citizens and entitled to due process and rights, HR5’s intent is to modify the Civil Rights Amendment — ultimately extending the equal protection clause.

A rightful fear is that such an extension is a subtle attempt at ramping up attempts to bypass citizens and proceed to include all inhabitants in the U.S. — including illegal aliens.

Many in the conservative Christian community and orthodoxies’ of Jewish and Muslim faiths may see this as forbidding the use of religious teachings which don’t recognize gay marriages, certain medical procedures, curriculums promoting sexuality in a manner other than their views, etc.

Martina Navratilova, who is gay, says such would abolish Title IX protections for women’s sports. This could limit competition for female athletes in allowing genetic males competing as females.

In search of a more perfect union, Congress and society are trying to be all things to all people rather than stick to our nation’s founding principles.

If those principles were properly upheld, they would indeed cover everyone.

Lord Jesus, nothing surprises you of the stupidness of man and his evil ways. This bill shows the madness of the blinded and the motivate of the leaders we the citizens voted in. Forgive us for allowing these government officials to be seated in the highest places in D.C., only to turn around and show their true colors of deceit, and introduce and push these bills thru, to having them signed into law. Send your angels to avenge us and put these laws to be voided out of existence. Amen…

Lord, forgive them for they no not what they do, there eyes are blinded to the truth. Forgive them for leading many who astray from the word which rebukes them and the sins they live in. Forgive them the Christians who stand by and doing nothing to help and lead the sinners to truth, and freedom, from this deceived lives and lies. But, Lord open our spiritual eyes to see that the father of lies, and his minions are behind this whole sad story…he knows his days are short before the return of Jesus Christ who will finally put an end to this devastating life on this earth…Amen!

Father, how thankful I am for all who are praying, acknowledging only You can stop the evil spreading in our nation. HR5 is total rebellion and sin against You. We, who believe in You have been too silent and failed to pray unceasingly as evil, hatred and destructive measures have multiplied. We earnestly pray for protection for our children, for freedom to worship You and share Your Truth with others. We have failed as a nation to acknowledge and be thankful for all You have given us. We have failed to be responsible to protect the freedoms You have given us. Please forgive us and have mercy on us. Give us the direction, clear thinking, and boldness to do as You direct now. We are on the brink of collapse and our purpose must be to honor Your Name. In Jesus Name I pray.

    AMEN! I AGREE! So be it!! Yet, Lord, You told us all these things would come to pass and that we would know that the end is near by these signs. And so, Father, please ready your Church, ready me — and all those who are repentant, who fear You and who love Your perfect Law — to meet You in the air. Where we, who are called in Christ Jesus by Your name lack repentance, Lord save us, cause us to turn that we may be found faithul on that Day, worthy to join You for the Wedding Feast that we would not be subject to such wickedness during the days of The Great Tribulation! In the name of your Son, our Savior and Kinsman Redeemer Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who was, and is, and is to come! Hallelujah – Come quickly LORD!!!

The devil is a counterfeit of God,
He is a deceiver since the beginning.
He wants to create another kind of gender, imitation of what The Lord already created male and female.
It is sad to see this people in the senate totally deceived in what they vote for.
But the mercies of The Lord are from everlasting to everlasting and He will accomplish Hisplans for this Nation .
Thank you Jesus because you are our Fortress and Our Strengh.

Holy Father, I bow my head and lift my hands to you in prayer, over this bill…HR5, that just passed. You know the hidden agenda behind this passage. Please shine a light on this, so others will become aware of what is happening in our government/country. Rise up our collective consciousnesses to your standards. By the power of the blood of your son Jesus, I pray against the progression of this bill. In His name I pray. Amen

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray in the precious Name of your son, Jesus, that you would have mercy on our Nation. According to your word, If my people, which are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land. Forgive us!!! America has been a beacon of light to this dark world and the enemy seeks to snuff out that light. We cry out, like Lot did, and ask you to spare this country for the sake of those who want to serve you in righteousness, and for our children. Let God arise and our enemies be scattered! Grant us more time to be that shining light set on a Hill.

Father, I ask that you intervene with a mighty hand to prevent the passage of this bill and anything resembling it. Bring forth an awareness of the hidden agenda of the enemy and bring it down. You can speak to every heart…I ask that by the power of your Spirit you come and turn hearts to seek and welcome your way and your wisdom. You came to destroy the works of the enemy, and we welcome your victory here!

Prayer warriors unite for spiritual battle. Politically moderate
voters were deceived by “moderate” Dems, who should pay a price for this radicalism. This bill is blatant rebellion against God
and violates the conscience of traditionalist monotheists. Traditional monotheists must vote their consciences while they are still able. If you let your vote be suppressed now, you may no
alternative later.

Father in Jesus Name. I INVOKE the blood of Jesus to this Bill that perverts and brings deception upon your creation. I repent independently for this sin in our government and nation. I ask for blinded eyes to be open and truth to overtake the lie that you created people this way. You live the people but hate the sin they are in. I call forth revelation light to all our government and people.i pray the fear of the Lord be released into this nation. I declare we are not a host nation but a Sheep nation. Lord have mercy on those living and believing the lie. Give us the souls of our government for the Kingdom of God.you said in Psalms Ask you for the Nation. I’m asking for this United States for your Glory. Shake this nation and our government everything that can be shaken and leave the things of God. LORD, I cry out, hear our prayers, come rescue us and save us in the Mighty Name. I invoke this Bill in the blood of Jesus and it can’t go any further.

    Holy God, Creator of all things. You created us in Your image. Male and female You created us.
    I unite with Charlene in agreement with every point of her prayer.
    Jesus paid the price so that we can be whole, Holy and know the identity we have in Him. By His Holy blood I ask for a Spirit of repentance to sweep America and deliver us from deception. Amen

    Yes, Lord, I come into agreement and hold Your Word up before You. You said if just 2 or more agree on anything it will be done by You Father. So, I come into agreement as many others are doing and ask you to stop this flood of wickedness in our nation, especially our government leaders and policy makers. WE ask You, Mighty God, Creator of all to wake up, shake up, Your army of Believers to rise and speak up on Your behalf and for our future generations. Send Your fear on these wicked people who are being used by the enemy to kill, steal, and destroy. Send Your Holy fire to burn up, expose, and turn us all to You. We ask this in the Name of Jesus.

      Amen! I stand in agreement and ask for the blood of Jesus to cover our nation and for the Holy Spirit to come forth and open the eyes of those blinded by the lies put forth in this bill. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
