UPDATE: The bill passed through congress today. See link for update. Please don’t give up.
“The Equality Act sounds positive.
But behind that deceiving name is a bill (HB5) being pushed through the House and Senate. This bill could impact basic religious freedoms in our nation like nothing else. Here are just some of the concerns:
–Forcing young girls to share bathrooms and locker rooms with those who “identify” as female.
–Making it illegal “hate speech” to talk about biblical identity as it refers to homosexuality and gender.
–Strip the rights of Christians to exercise their conscience as it refers to hiring and even paying for abortions.
This bill is moving through the House fast, and soon it will be in the Senate, where the left now holds a majority. We are deeply concerned that this bill will be used to get rid of the filibuster and that this (and other bad bills) will then be passed by a simple majority–unleashing tragic consequences.
We need you to PRAY AND ACT NOW.” <= Excerpt from IFAPRAY.ORG here
“If it becomes law, the Act will serve as a backdoor way to sanction abortions, introduce explicit content in school curriculum, let boys win in girls’ sports, allow grown men in girl’s restrooms, pressure children as young as eleven toward experimental cross-sex hormones with or without their parents’ knowledge or consent – and silence all of us who disagree. Doctors can be prosecuted if they refuse to perform these treatments.
That part about silencing us is the most dangerous. The bill makes it a criminal act to disagree with their view on gender, even on the grounds that it violates your religious views. The Equality Act. It is due to be voted on in the Senate soon, before being sent to Biden for signing.” <= Excerpt from Mario Murillo’s blog.
***Meaning any real Pastors and anyone speaking the truth of the Word about sexuality will be put in jail and prison if this passes.***

Satan’s tactics are confusion. Be NOT deceived.
For example, using language that sounds positive and loving TOWARDS actual evil and sin in order to paint people who disagree with said evils as the “bad guys” and the true “sinners” or “hateful and intolerant” ones.
But what the enemy is sadly able to accomplish with many is getting people’s eyes off how bills like this harm, assault, commit crimes against, attack and spew hatred at others by SIMPLY using positive, “pro” sounding terms.
It’s grievous how easily people even in the church can be deceived by use of words. But I pray more in the church have eyes to see what is happening and act.
Pro-choice. Choices are nice, right? Well NOT if you’re an innocent, unborn baby with no choice in the matter on being slaughtered by mommy dearest. In this case, nice sounding “choice” is merely coverup terminology for murdering babies inspired by satan. A leglized right to murder an innocent, defenseless baby.
“EQUALITY ACT” must be good, right? It’s pro equality.
But what it does is give a certain “class” of people greater rights than others.
This wicked bill LITERALLY brings to pass…
- assault crimes against women by allowing men and boys into girl’s restrooms and lockerooms. It’s a violation of their safety, feelings of security and decency, etc. For victims of abuse, it would be a PTSD trigger and an additional assault on them. But the wicked don’t care because, ya know, THEIR version of equality annihilates the rights and equality of real women. Of course, satan would use a bill like this to give access to our daughters by sex offenders not being questioned when they want to enter women’s and girl’s restrooms because they merely state they “identify” as a woman.
- punishment of Christians and an attack free speech
- increased murder of the unborn by forcing Christians to pay for abortions.
This is 100% a violation of our God-given rights and completely strips certain groups of people of their constutional rights by exalting the rights of others. This is outright criminal and tyranny and must be stopped.
Church, what say you?
URGENT UPDATE on the THE DANGEROUS EQUALITY ACT (HB5) – Important Calls to Action and PRAY – DO NOT GIVE UP!
PRAYER AND SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Father, no weapon formed against us will prosper and any tongue that rises up against us, we condemn in the name of Jesus. As Your legislative body in the earth, we kill this HB5 bill dead in the name of Jesus.
We condemn every character, dot, and tittle of this wicked bill and nullify it by Your Spirit and with Your consuming fire.
We take authority over every demon, principality, and power of darkness behind this HB5 bill, and rebuke them, and tell their evil works to be destroyed under our feet in the name of Jesus.
We take authority over every demon possessing and influencing the authors and supporters of this bill and call them bound, confused, confounded, foiled, and command them to come out of these people RIGHT NOW and go to the abyss RIGHT NOW in the name of Jesus.
Lord, loose legions of warring angels to every place these people are discussing and deciding on this bill and UTTERLY destroy this bill and their attempts to bring this wicked to pass.
I pray the Word weapon of Psalm 35:5-7, Lord God, over this bill and the people pushing it:
Let them be like chaff before the wind,
And let the angel of the Lord chase them.
Let their way be dark and slippery,
And let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
For without cause they have hidden their net for us in a pit,
Which they have dug without cause for our lives.
Let it be so, Lord, in the name of Jesus, amen.
[pray in the Spirit]
