Stealing our children's minds!

Stealing Our Children’s Minds Vladimir Lenin once said, “give me your child for the first 5 years of their life and he will be mine forever. Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.” He also said, “give me one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.” Many may scoff at such boldness, but the evil one knows that if he can take over a generation of impressable children, he will have them for life. Such indoctrination in NOW happening within our public schools, colleges and even churches. The Bible says, “do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds to determine the holy and perfect will of God.” So the question is WHO has access to our minds and more importantly the minds of our children. I will be sharing some very disturbing things that are happening right now. Not only are we killing our babies through abortions but the evil one has a high agenda of indoctrination of our youth into the perversions of evil lifestyles. He is doing battle in the battlefield of our minds by perverting the teachings of our heavenly Father and twisting them into perverted gender and sexual identity. Listen up: this is not just a skirmish in a little war…NO, this is an ALL OUT ATTACH ON THE BIBLE AND GOD OF THE BIBLE! IT WAS PLANNED YEARS AGO AND HAS BEEN CONTINUING FOR YEARS! Here’s a few examples that our children’s minds are under attach: • Starbucks announced that they will reimburse employees for travel expenses when accessing abortion or gender affirming when not available within 100 miles of their home. *Twitter – Starbuck News • A Florida church is hosting an event that is called “Youth Pride Conference” featuring a drag show, requiring children to list their pronouns, a talk on ‘inclusive sex education’. * Daily Mail – 17 May 2022 • Our schools and libraries are holding ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ * Prague U • “Sex ed” lessons telling kids they can choose to be boy or a girl or something different. *Prague U • Stealing of our children’s minds thru altered “attention”. Phones, ipads, computers, t.v are all instruments to change our thinking and alter our attention in our minds. *Google engineer, James Williams • Powers of darkness immediately available through Psychic, Spiritualist, Astrologers, Mediums, Computer Games, Sci Films, Cartoons, etc. *Dr Pat Holiday Not only are these things being done in schools and churches, but the reality is Mainstream media networks like Nickelodeon and Netflix have kids shows about topics like gender fluidity and “toxic masculinity”. * Prague U Or how about Disney’s Magic Kingdom wanting to sexualize children. Here’s an internal quote: “our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my life, not at all secret gay agenda…no one was trying to stop me” – Latoya Ravenaeu, executive producer at Disney Television Animation LISTEN UP FRIENDS! Our children are caught in the crosshairs of the evil one and this evil political agenda to destroy Christian values, the very bedrock of our nation. The battlefield in all our lives is the battle over our minds. What we think about we become. The Bible says, “as one thinks in his heart, so is he” Proverbs 23:7 Ephesians 5:10-11 “try do learn what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do*with the things done in darkness which are not worth anything.” And 2 Corinthians 10:5 “casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” Friends, these things that I have mention are just the tip of the iceberg of the indoctrination of our children AND our own minds. Please join me in praying for the cleansing of our minds. Let us pray fervently to bind Satan and build hedges of protection around our children and our own minds. Let it start with us. Let us rise and expose the deeds of the evil one. Jesus says, “it was better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he be cast into the sea than he should offend one of these little ones.” Across the country, kids from kindergarten to high school are being exposed to this early sexualization. The perverting of the word of God is rampant. Here’s a couple suggestions: 1. PRAY. PRAY. PRAY. 2. Seek and find what is being taught in your schools, with tax payer money by the way. 3. Be a voice for your children. Write letters, speak at school board meetings 4. Write your elected officials. If no one speaks up and speaks out these boards of education and teacher unions, locally and statewide, will continue with their agenda of indoctrinations. Eph 6:10 - 18 Finally, be strong in the Lord, relying on his mighty strength. Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the devil's strategies. For our struggle is not against human opponents, but against rulers, authorities, cosmic powers in the darkness around us, and evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realm. For this reason, take up the whole armor of God so that you may be able to take a stand whenever evil comes. And when you have done everything you could, you will be able to stand firm. Stand firm, therefore, having fastened the belt of truth around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and being firm-footed in the gospel of peace. In addition to having clothed yourselves with these things, having taken up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to put out all the flaming arrows of the evil one, also take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times with every kind of prayer and request. Likewise, be alert with your most diligent efforts and pray for all the saints. I am praying for you and your family and especially our children, Leonard Navarre Lubbock, TX

Hindrances to Prayer!

HINDRANCES TO PRAYER! Jesus told His followers, "And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you" (Luke 11:9). Prayer is an incredible tool God has given us so that we may communicate personally and build an intimate relationship with Him. It empowers us to talk directly with God, worshiping His sovereignty, praising Him for His blessings, getting to know Him better, sharing our heart with Him, and asking Him to fulfill our desires and needs. However, in this verse the key words is ask, know and seek. But it’s not just once and done. The verb is “keep on”. Keep on asking, keep on knocking and keep on seeking. KEEP ON! Persistent prayer with fasting. Prayer is a privilege HOWEVER, there are hindrances to an effective prayer life. Here are some common hindrances to a healthy prayer life and steps you can take to overcome them. UNCONFESSED SIN Unconfessed sin can create a barrier between us and God in our prayer life (Isaiah 59:2). Our sin causes us to live according to our fleshly desires and not by the Spirit. But if we repent and confess our sins Jeremiah 31:34 “I will remember them no more”. First John 1:9 promises, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." SELFISH MOTIVES As humans we are very selfish and our prayer life is no exception. Often, we pray solely for things that we want without regard to God's will or the needs of other people. James 4:1–3 says, “when you ask, you do not receive because you ask for the wrong reasons.” UNFORGIVENESS In Matthew 6:14–15 Jesus says, "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Harboring bitterness, grudges, hate and unforgiveness in our hearts blocks and hinders our prayers. UNBELIEF Doubt in God's ability to answer our prayers is a hindrance (James 1:6 “But when you ask God, you must believe and not doubt.” Prayer requires faith. When we pray we are acknowledging God is capable of answering our prayer, yet at the same time submitting to God's will and understanding that He may or may not choose to answer the prayer the way we want Him to. MARITAL CONFLICT Paul tells us that conflict in a marriage can impede our prayer life. This is due to a lack of obedience in how we should act towards one another. He encourages husbands and wives to love and respect one another in obedience to God so that they can have a healthy prayer life 1 Peter 3:7 “do this so that nothing will stop your prayers” IDOLS When we make other gods or things a priority in our life before God it interferes with our prayer life (Ezekiel 14:3). It clearly states in the Ten Commandments, "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3). Each time the Israelites chose to worship other gods, God chose to not listen to their prayers until they repented. They didn’t repent so the result: they spent forty years wandering the desert before entering the Promised Land and were later exiled from the Promised Land. When they repented, however, He once again answered their prayers and restored their nation. POOR There are several groups that God pays a close attention. The widow, the orphan and the poor. Our prayers are hindered when we hear the cries of these and do not respond and help therefore our prayers are hindered and go unanswered. James 1:27 “religion that God accepts as pure and without fault is this: caring for orphans or widows who need help and keeping oneself free from the world’s influence.” AND, Proverbs 22:22-23, “rob not the poor, because he is poor neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: for the Lord will plead their cause and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.” REMEMBER 2 Chronicles 7:13 “At times I might shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or command grasshoppers to devour your crops, or send plagues among you. 14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.” KEYS TO GOD’S FAVOR: Repentance, remove the hindrances, return to God and God alone, respond to His discipline thru change of behavior (I Samuel THEN HE WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND RESTORE OUR LAND.
