Dear spiritual warriors for Yeshua/Jesus, those awakening to His seeing us as His Bride,
Franklin Graham and Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel, together with many other ministries are crying out urgently for each of us to contact immediately our representatives in the United States House and Senate to oppose a bill wrongfully called the “Equality Act.”
It is a completely wicked bill that directly impacts our religious freedom. Among the features are the following:
This Equality Act designates schools, churches, and healthcare organizations as “public accommodations.” With this, schools, churches, and hospitals could be forced to accept the government’s beliefs about sexual orientation and gender identity. That alone would be highly intrusive and incredibly far-reaching. It will threaten everyday speech where people can be fined or lose their jobs for using the wrong name or pronouns.
The Equality Act will legislate that we allow boys in girls’ sports, boys in girls’ locker rooms, men in women’s shelters, and men in women’s prisons. It will force teachers to publicly pretend that a biological male is a female. Schools will be encouraged or mandated to instruct first, second, and third graders that they can choose to be a boy or a girl, or both, making biological sex (and science) and Biblical Truth a relic of the past.
The Equality Act will use the force of law across all 50 States to strip Christian and other religious ministries of their rights to hire people of shared faith to pursue a shared mission. Churches will be forced to hire people hostile to the church’s deeply held beliefs, teachings, and mission.
The Equality Act will strip health professionals of their rights of conscience. It will force doctors and medical professionals who are committed to do no harm, to engage in gender transition treatments such as hormone-blocking, cross-sex hormones, or surgery. It is obvious that a Christian hospital should not have to perform gender transition surgeries that go entirely against what we believe.
The Equality Act will be a tool used by the government to deny or threaten accreditation to religious colleges and universities if they do not satisfy the demands of the secular Left to apply sexual orientation and gender identity to dorms, sports, places of privacy, and even teachings. The Act could be used as a weapon to threaten the availability of federal student loans and grants to students at certain disfavored religious schools.
Demand today your Congressman and Senator vote an emphatic no to this wicked proposal.
And please pray, adding to your prayer, as the Holy Spirit may direct, His intercession. Romans 8: 26-28 tells us: “the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. ”
At any point in your prayers, as the Holy Spirit convicts you of any old sin stronghold, you will have the opportunity to confess that sin and repent. When you repent you will increase in His righteousness, and your prayers will avail much!—James 5:16
Thank you and God bless you,
Pastor Jeff Daly
National Day of Repentance
The original of this essay came as a circular email, February 26, 2021.
The National Day of Repentance (NDR) is a Christian ministry dedicated to encouraging personal and national repentance so that in the current and upcoming adversity our hope is not cut off, but we are actually strengthened through repentance. (Exodus 9:16; Proverbs 24:10,14,16), cleansing as His Bride for His soon return. Repentance is God’s gift to enter His Kingdom, snatching souls from the fire, eliminating false strongholds, purifying His Bride, and healing His nations. We rely on Him and those of you who recognize the vital need for the Bride of Christ to be ready through repentance for His soon coming as our Bridegroom. Gifts are very much appreciated and may be made at www.repentday.com or sent to Box 1302 Middletown CA 95461. May the fruit of the Holy Spirit abound to your account (Philippians 4:17).
