The Equality Act: DANGER!

Prayer & Action: the 'Equality Act' Is Much Worse Than We Thought, It's the 'Most Serious Threat to Life and Liberty to Ever be Proposed by Congress'
HR 5 (The Equality Act) amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by striking the word "sex" and inserting "sex, sexual orientation, gender identity" as protected classes throughout the federal code. In addition, the terms "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" will be defined to mean "pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition." In other words, under the terms of this bill, "pregnancy, childbirth or a related medical condition... shall not receive less favorable treatment than other physical conditions."
Specifically, HR 5 also expands the definition of public accommodations to include places or establishments that provide "(1) exhibitions, recreation, exercise, amusement, gatherings or displays; (2) goods, services or programs and (3) transportation services."
Any time "sex discrimination" has been previously added to federal law, Congress has secured rules to ensure that it does not require the funding of abortion or override conscience laws. Before HR 5, every time sex discrimination is written into law, it is written to exclude abortion. HR 5 would preempt these laws. It also prohibits the Religious Freedom Restoration Act as a defense to the application of the law. That means there is no religious or conscience protection against forcing a religious organization or health care worker to provide or participate in abortion. Any denial of abortion would be considered discrimination.
The "Equality Act's" broad definition of a public accommodation to include health care providers applies explicitly to all health care providers, including individuals and entities who object to abortion, and implicitly, possibly applying to non-physical entities like state governments that determine health care coverage under Medicaid.
As such, this provision puts in jeopardy both longstanding federal conscience laws providing for protections for abortion objectors, and even the Hyde Amendment, prohibiting taxpayer funding for abortion. Language contained in the legislation could be used to force health care professionals and hospitals to perform abortions, regardless of if this would violate their conscience. In addition, the pro-life protections in current federal and state law would also be put at risk. So, under this umbrella of "discrimination," any American who doesn't want to fund, offer, perform, or participate in abortion-on-demand will have no real choice.
HR 5 recently passed in the House Judiciary Committee and is expected to go to the House floor for a vote next week. The battle over HR 5 will occur in the Senate, where the bill number is S. 788.
"The so-called 'Equality Act' is worse than what we thought," said Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel. "The bill goes far beyond LGBT to include abortion and much more. This bill is the most serious threat to life and liberty to ever be proposed by Congress." (Breaking Christian News) Read more.
> > > To learn much more about this bill, please see our special section, below, titled: "Equality Act Dangers." This vote in the House Chamber is expected to take place this Tuesday, May 14th. PLEASE CALL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS AND ASK HIM OR HER TO OPPOSE PASSAGE OF H.R. 5: "The Equality Act".
- Father God, we are grieved that this wicked bill has now passed out of the House Committee and is headed to the floor for a vote by the full Congress next week. Together, we ask You to forgive House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and many others, who have been working to write this bill and to see it pass. Father God, they know not what they do.
Lord God, together, we take up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and we come against the passage of H.R. 5 into law, as its language does not align with Your Word. We thank You, Holy One, that the victory is the Lord's, and we stand aligned with You to see this evil piece of legislation be defeated this week in Congress. In Your name, amen.
Verses to Decree in UNISON:
1. "Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
Speak the word, but it will not stand,
For God is with us."
(Isaiah 8:10)
2. "You will also declare a thing,
And it will be established for you;
So light will shine on your ways."
(Job 22:28)
3. 'This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!' (Job 38:11)
4. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death." (Rev. 12:11)
5. "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." (John 15:7)

Franklin Graham Confronts Nancy Pelosi

Franklin Graham: 'Crisis' is on you, Speaker Pelosi
Evangelist Franklin Graham has a message for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
That "constitutional crisis" she and her fellow Democratic Party members have been talking about? It's all on her.
"For once, I agree with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi - our country is in a constitutional crisis," Graham, the CEO of the Samaritan's Purse global Christian ministry, said on Facebook.
"However, I strongly disagree with her on the cause. I put the blame at her feet and those in the Democratic Party who follow her, along with many in the media," he wrote.
"For the last two years all we have heard about was Russian collusion. After the Mueller report was released, Speaker Pelosi and her followers just cannot accept the fact that no collusion was found. She is the leading cause of this crisis. It might be good for Speaker Pelosi to listen to her fellow Democrat, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii's 2nd congressional district, who said after the Mueller report was released - It's time to move on!"
The Democrats' declaration of a "constitutional crisis" came this week after a House committee voted to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress.
While Barr was under no legal obligation to release Mueller's report, he released nearly all of it, with the exception of material protected in the interest of national security and ongoing investigations, and grand jury proceedings.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., demanded, however, that he provide that material to Congress.
When Barr refused, Democrats voted for the contempt citation.
Nadler also then claimed there is now a "constitutional crisis," and Pelosi said,"Yes, I do agree with Chairman Nadler, because the administration has decided that they are not going to honor their oath of office."
However, she would not say whether or not she will hold a House vote on the Barr citation from Nadler's committee. (WorldNetDaily) Read more.

The California Cabal

RENEGADE STATE:
The Four Families of California
& The Private Company That Controls The Internet
Exposing 4 families who've ruled California politics for 80 years, and Obama's transfer of Internet control from US Government to independent California company
For 80 years the Brown, Newsom, Pelosi, and Getty families have ruled over the State of California. Turning it into the economic and social disaster that we see today.
And in On October 1, 2016, right before Donald Trump won the election, President Obama transferred full control of the internet from the U.S. Government, to an independent California non-profit organization called ICAAN.
In a cyberwar scenario, the U.S. government may not have control over the internet. (Source: Infowars.com; others)
Please watch this video by going here.
- Lord God, we praise You that You are in control, even when it seems otherwise. We lift up the people of the State of California, who have been living under this regime of tyranny for many, many years. Abba Father God, these poor people have had their own resources stolen and destroyed by this cabal.
Lord God, because You forgave these four families, named in this article, when You hung on that Cross, we too choose to forgive. We now ask that, by Your mighty hand, You break up this cabal, obliterate their power, and restore to the people of California what is rightfully theirs. We stand in the gap for these evil ones, and we repent of their sins.
We pray, too, for America's internet: that it be released from their control and brought back under the control of the American people. We praise You, O God, for hearing our prayers, amen and amen.
- ". . . nothing is too difficult for Thee." (Jeremiah 32:17)

The perils of Pakistan, nation building and persecution
Christians around the world are rejoicing that Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian, is now at a safe haven in Canada after a decade-long ordeal that found her on death row for blasphemy of Islam. Bibi was sentenced to hang in 2010 for allegedly blaspheming Mohammad after an argument while picking berries in 2009. In October 2018, Pakistan's Supreme Court acquitted her based on insufficient evidence after intense political pressure from the world community, including Christian organizations. This is an example of the consequences of America's nation building under the Bush Administration in 2008 and as continued by the next president. It should serve as a reminder that Islam and freedom are incompatible.
Let's roll back the clock to December 2007, when for several months The Daily Jot pointed toward Pakistan as the new front in the war of Islamic aggression. The assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto indicated that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal was a target of al Qaeda and the Taliban. The Bush Administration pushed hard to "democratize" Pakistan to protect an already $10 billion nuclear investment in the Islamic country. The new democratically-elected government of Pakistan in March 2008 was the fifth "democracy" aggressively supported by George W. Bush where the end result was a Sharia law-based Islamic government with verbal agreements and some vague constitutional language to allow religious freedom.
America traditionally upheld religious freedom all around the world--that is, until Bush and the previous Administration began nation building in Islamic countries. The US insisted that religious freedom language was in the constitutions of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, Pakistan and so on. The problem, however, is that these constitutions also carried language that established Islam as the religion of the land. Islam, as an official religion, will not co-exist with Christianity or Judaism by virtue of Islam's theology. Therefore, no matter the toothless, symbolic language on religious freedom, Islam, and all that it is, became the official religion. All laws and religions must submit to Islam.
Attacks against Christians in the Middle East caused the Christian church to go so far underground that the US State Department said it couldn't find them. We rejoice that Asia Bibi is released. Also remember that our own government policy of appeasing Islam likely contributed to her horrible and tortuous ordeal, and to the persecution and deaths of Christians in other Islamic countries. These presidents claim they are Christian, but their policies were responsible for the suffering of Christians around the world. Titus 1:10 begins, "For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers. " And in verse 16 concludes: "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." Draw your own conclusions, Asia Bibi knows first hand.
Have a blessed and powerful day,

Legislative Program for next week
House Majority Leader Hoyer:
The House will also consider H.R. 312, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reservation Reaffirmation Act. That will be considered under a rule.
In addition, the House will consider H.R. 987, the Strengthening Health Care and Lowering Prescription Drug Costs Act. This legislation is composed of seven bills that would protect and expand affordable healthcare and lower prescription drug costs. The legislation consists of separate bills from the Energy and Commerce Committee to ban junk health plans, bring generic prescription drugs to market more quickly, provide funding for States to establish State-based marketplaces under the Affordable Care Act, require and provide funding for outreach and enrollment, and fund the navigator program that assists Americans during the open enrollment period.
All of these bills will be directed at trying to reverse some of the steps that have been taken to undermine Americans' access to affordable, quality healthcare.
Lastly, Madam Speaker, the House will consider H.R. 5, the Equality Act. LGBT Americans and their families deserve to be protected against all forms of discrimination no matter where they live. This legislation would ban discrimination against LGBT people in housing, employment, education, jury service, credit and financing, and public accommodations.

Operation Restoration
BULLETIN!! PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW NUMBER AND ACCESS CODE:
712-770-5320
150411#
Once each week, on Sunday mornings and for 24 hours, join with others in OPERATION RESTORATION . . .
"Operation Restoration"
This initiative is based upon the Move of the Spirit that was launched last month during Operation Refiner's Fire. The LORD has shown us that He has used those fires to ignite the FIRE of the HOLY SPIRIT to visit our people, which He now yearns to keep burning among our people until the day of His return!
"Operation Restoration" is based on the promise of Scripture, recorded in
2 Chronicles 7:14,15.
It is written:
. . . "and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."
This is a weekly Solemn Assembly, where saints can feel free to gather each Sunday, to offer prayers of repentance before our Lord, for the many sins our nation has committed before Him.
Abba so desires to hear our prayers . . . He is just waiting to heal us!
You can join us, any Sunday, beginning at 9:00 a.m. EST by calling:
712-770-5320
Access Code: 150411##
Each
week, our conference line for Operation Restoration will remain open until
Monday morning at 9:00 a.m.EST -- allowing for 24 hours of nonstop prayer
before our King of Kings, that He might, indeed, "heal our land."
Amen. Access Code: 150411##

(for the week of May 12 - 18, 2019)
Published by the National Prayer Embassy
Former U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden announced his candidacy for the Democratic Party nomination for U.S. President, joining a crowded field of about 20 other announced candidate. The first of 12 total debates among the democratic presidential candidates will take place June 26-27 in Miami, Florida. State primary elections begin in February next year in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, followed by 12 states on Super Tuesday, March 3rd and the rest of the states through the Spring and Summer.
The general election will be held the first Tuesday of November, deciding the U.S. President, all the members of the House of Representatives, about one-third of U.S.Senators and many State Governors and other state and local offices. Some time ago one major Christian ministry in America announced a new emphasis on praying earlier, such as a year in advance, for upcoming elections. Another ministry helps mega-churches in swing states to compare their membership rolls to local voting records to encourage more Christians to register and vote. Let's pray about all this today:
"Father God, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for raising up those candidates for president, congress and the state and local offices who will do job possible for our nation. We thank You, Lord, on the basis of Your word in Daniel chapter 2:21 for removing any ungodly corrupt or incapable officials in our land and replacing them with God-fearing, honest and capable office holders. We thank You, Lord, for protecting all the candidates from assassination and we bind the evil spirits behind "Dirty Politics," in Jesus' name, Amen!"
