State and Local
Top priority is praying for the Senate Republicans. There is a sharp divide among the Republicans because of the carbon pipeline bill, and now many important bills (I will list below) may not get through the Senate because of it. Please pray for God's righteous kingdom principles to prevail, that those who are standing against God's ways will be convicted and turn, and for mighty encounters with the living God for those who do not know Him. Pray for opportunities for those who know Jesus, to share His love and create bridges to unifying the Senate Republicans and doing God's will. Pray protection over the Christians in the Senate and an exposure of the enemy's plans. The next funnel is March 19, and the bills listed below will need to get out of both the House and Senate by that date.
The Age Verification Bill (requiring the use of age verification on websites that contain a "substantial amount" of adult content) - has been passed in 23 other states - it is hung up in the Senate - we need breakthrough on this.
Medical Right of Conscience bill - this needs to be passed because it would protect nurses and doctors who do not want to perform genital mutilating surgeries - it would assure they cannot be fired if they refuse to perform these surgeries. This bill is also hung up in the Senate.
Pipeline bill - very contentious bill which is also hung up in the Senate. The Senate and the House have two different versions. The House bill protects private property rights, was passed, and the Senate bill allows eminent domain by private companies.
House black market abortion pill bill - this needs to move in the next 7-10 days - it will probably pass the House, and it needs to pass in the Senate by March 19.
A bill that says parents cannot be denied adopting a child if they won't' agree to transition a child if the child wants to transition. Some adoption agencies will not adopt children who want to transition out to parents who won't agree to do this. This is sweeping the country. This needs to get out of the Senate by March 19.
Anti-foreign law bill - passed unanimously out of the House committee (which surprised many people). This needs to pass this year. We need a bill on the books for this before the elections in November. Please keep this bill in prayer - I will update weekly on it.
National
President Trump - protection over him, wise counselors for him and exposure of those who's plans and purposes are not of God. Pray he will not make any rash decisions and will be tempered with pure motives and see through all dishonesty.
Military - pray protection over all soldiers in Iran and elsewhere.
Paramount just bought Warner-Brothers (Netflix lost this contract). Paramount is more conservative than Netflix, and Warner Brothers owns CNN! Pray and be expecting more conservative reporting coming from CNN and all of Warner-Brothers media outlets.
International
Iran, Israel and the US. Link to get a copy of prayer points for this from Intercessors for America.
Prayer for the Senate:
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Coming down upon the beard,
Even Aaron’s beard,
Coming down upon the edge of his robes.
It is like the dew of Hermon
Coming down upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—life forever. Psalm 133
We are starting our prayer times with praise and worship! The Israelites always praised and worshipped before the army went out to war. We are doing the same as we war with our prayers.
When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the Lord and those who praised Him in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, “Give thanks to the Lord, for His lovingkindness is everlasting.” When they began singing and praising, the Lord set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were routed. 2 Chronicles 20:21-22
