Thanks for sharing this (previous post), pathwalker. Her story was very enlightening (and upsetting). It confirms even more the need for us to continue praying that God will sound out the biblical truth about mutual submission in male and female relationships in the church, and that this resounding truth will produce repentance in its hearers (male and female!). This must happen if the church is to regain her power in prayer!
Julie Roys website which shows God is answering our prayers for cleansing His temple:
Please continue to pray for Andrew Torba (see post #8410).
He loves the Lord, but His message is skewed (see link below). It will end up leading him and others astray. It sounds good at first blush and is attractive because people, especially Christians, are so desperate for hope. He is preaching that Christ is King (the truth) but is adding to that … a Christian Nationalism movement. (This movement has been around awhile in various forms.) Jesus didn’t preach Christian Nationalism. He preached the gospel of the Kingdom. His kingdom is something born of the Spirit and led by King Jesus. It is not something led by men in a movement shaped according to their natural understanding of dominion. Men’s movements typically end up in people following the movement and its leader(s) instead of Christ Himself. They hinder Christians from learning to follow the King for themselves. Hearing his message breaks my heart for him. I really love this young man and believe he is genuinely seeking to follow the Lord in these dark days, but this message has all the earmarks of something some of us know only too well, something that will lead people astray from Christ. Men’s movements produce Ishmaels. Only the Spirit can produce an Isaac (a real move of God). Isaacs only come when women are free to follow the King the same as men, and when they follow Him together in mutual submission to Him and to one another. (I know I sound like a broken record…).
The sad truth is that what Andrew T. is aiming for on this earth (righteousness, peace, etc.) is something that will come out of believers following Christ in holiness and having dominion over the devil by prayer and obedience. His message is so close, yet so far. Makes me hate the devil even more (something I and other women come by naturally since God pronounced in Genesis that we would hate the serpent.)
Lord, save Andrew from all deception. Save him from false teachings. Get his attention and help him see the truth about “them” having dominion by the power of the Holy Spirit. Do not let the enemy derail his walk with You or the good purpose to which You have called him.

Again, a good side to what is happening with Andrew and Gab is that Gab is becoming a bigger and bigger platform for truth to be spoken, and Gab doesn’t censor people. Lord show us how to use Gab to publish the truth of your word for your glory.
Three special pray-days this week:
-Tuesday: For the vote on this day in Kansas on the person-hood of unborn babies to be “YES”
-Wednesday: For my meeting with Brooke Crowder on this day
-Thursday: For Les (Cheryl’s husband) who is having gall bladder surgery on this day
Also, today we had a lot of fellowship about praying more for the revealing of truth about God’s purpose for male and female together and also about praying more for women to see the truth and not be afraid to speak it. Our burden was spurred by an article by Andrew Tobar, the founder of Gab.com (see prior post). We prayed for him to know the truth.
We talked about and began to pray about Psalms 68:11 (see NIV and other versions that translate it correctly using “women”) … that God would raise up such a host (army) of women to publish the truth of His word.
John talked a little about “Sarah” in the Bible. Here is the link to the paper he has written about her that I said I would make available. It is excellent!

We need to pray for Andrew Torba. He’s got a lot of things right, but he has got one thing seriously wrong. You can see the great deceiver at work in the following email that Andrew sent out to fellow gabbers. It has false teaching mixed with good–the devil’s specialty.
Lord Jesus, we ask you to deliver Andrew from the evil one and from all false teaching. Save him from leading others astray. Open his eyes to the truth concerning male and female following Jesus as King together in mutual submission to one another. Show him that is God’s way for us to overcome the enemy! Lord Jesus, save us from dominion by dominant Christian males using their “masculine energy to conquer and lead.”
You only need to look at the condition of the church today to see where practicing that kind of teaching and belief in civil government would lead us.
Lord, end the confusion caused by false, leavened teachings. Stop the enemy from using people like Andrew who love you and want to serve you! He has bought a lie as to how to overcome the enemy. Deliver him from this evil!
Jesus is King! Father, send the Holy Spirit again in power to revive your people and bring about true reconciliation of male and female in Christ, so we can walk together in truth and overcome the enemy by faith in You!
Let’s put a wall of protective prayer around Trump and the others named in this report.
This is an excellent and educational article by Robert Malone. The things being “howled” about now are things that are answers to our prayers! Thought some of you might enjoy reading this.

Another prayer answered testimony. God has really milked our recent computer problem for all its usefulness to Him in teaching us to pray.
A few days after the “Wordfence” answer to prayer I shared about a few posts ago, I got a high security alert on the LemonsToGrapes site. I was presented with a list of 15,059 core files that had been affected by a serious security breach!! After I finally starting to breathe again, I realized this alert was probably related to the website having been through a crash and restore.
Thus began another trip through computer-support-by-email only-h***. Wordfence support figured out what was likely causing the major alert. The fix would be simple, but I had to ask my hosting site support to take care of it. Once again, I got a tech person who had low reading comprehension and poor English communication skills. He did not do the simple thing I asked, but rather did something else. Thus began another long, drawn out, back-and-forth of emails trying to clear up the further problem he caused. This went on for several days until I literally screamed after I read a support response.
John had asked me earlier if I had prayed, and I had answered, “Yes, I’m just not getting an answer!”
Throughout all of the computer nightmare of the past three weeks, John has suffered maybe more than me, watching what I was going through and experiencing second-hand the high level of stress I was under. Now, he couldn’t believe I was (we were) once again back in the mode of dealing with incompetent computer support people. I won’t make this lead-in story any longer; now I come to what I want to share about answered prayer.
I told John I was going to stop communicating with “escalated” support (which is supposed to be the best), and go back to low-level support. They can’t always help, but they interact by phone not by email! When John heard this, unbeknownst to me, he went outside and spent 20 minutes praying for me and the whole situation. He made his case with God using the verses about a father not giving his son a stone when he asked for bread and not giving his son a serpent when he asked for fish. When he came back in the house, he heard my calm, relaxed voice on the phone. Ten or fifteen minutes later, everything was fixed–Not only the immediate problem, but all the wrap-up things that prior support had failed to do properly, things that would have required more back-and-forth emails.
It may not make sense to those reading this, but for one thing, the website was finally back to its original, normal size (17 Gig). It was at 79 Gig when I started the low-level support call. It had been as high as 122 Gig during the long support effort. This was due to backup, temporary, and misplaced folders scattered here and there–things that were never properly removed by support people, things that affect the health of the website, including its speed.
John was very, very happy to hear the report. When I heard about his prayer, I almost started crying.
So it seems, God is really busy giving “heavenly support” by His Spirit (not emails!) to his two little earthly prayer warriors, John and Jane. He is teaching both of us how to come to the throne of grace for specific help in time of need! God knew there was more clean up work to be done on the website, and He got it done! He knows there is more work to do cleaning up and training his little prayer warrior couple, and He is getting that done, too.
Though we too often lose sight of this wonderful fact, God is good! He alone is worthy to be praised!
CBN vows to keep fighting wokeism and women preachers in the SBC
In response to the above article, I tried to post a comment, but it was too long, so I am posting it here for our prayer group. Prayers are being heard!
My comment: CBN will never make headway in fighting for the truth until they stop linking these two in their arguments: “wokeism” and “women preachers.” They are right on their stance against wokeism, but their stance concerning women is wrong. Their hardened views find support only in Christian tradition and errant Bible translations. CBN’s fight on the “woman” front will result in them being found fighting against the truth and God! (Gamaliel’s warning applies).
Too much biblical evidence has surfaced in recent decades concerning God’s view of women—solid, well-researched evidence, provided by renowned Greek/Hebrew scholars like Phillip Payne. CBN needs to clothe themselves in humility and give due diligence to an up-to-date study of the woman topic. Much more is at stake on this earth than upholding the reputation of their Baptist organization.
What is at stake is the church’s ability to fight and win in spiritual warfare. (Israel’s defeat at Ai applies.) The centuries-old suppression of women in the church is a huge, long-term “sin in the camp.” It has produced a massive hole in the wall through which the devil has invaded and defeated many believers. Centuries of male pastors/clerics who have been defeated by sexual sin show this, as does the big report on display this year at the SBC. Their focus is on current bad fruit (and rightly so), but God’s focus is on purging out the long-term root sin in the camp: the abuse of women on every level, including suppression of their spiritual giftings. Learning and teaching the truth about God’s view of woman will bring about long overdue repentance. Only that will begin to really change things for the better … the way better. Our Father’s name will be hallowed, and His kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven.
Wonderful verses:
In a certain town there was a judge
who neither feared God nor respected men.
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him,
“Give me justice against my adversary.”For a while he refused, but later he said to himself,
“Even though I do not fear God or respect men,
yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice.
Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.”And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
Will not God bring about justice for His elect
who cry out to Him day and night?
Will He continue to defer their help?
I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf.”

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for hearing and answering the many prayers to end Roe v. Wade! Thank you for beginning to close the door on all those who have profited from legalized abortion by illegally selling aborted baby parts “under the table”! Thank you for turning the course of this big evil baby-killing ship! Grant that there will be a full turn away from this great evil. Work mightily by your Holy Spirit, state by state, to protect the unborn! Also we pray you will pour out your Spirit on this earth again in these latter days and bring people to repentance, especially for practicing and promoting promiscuity. You are holy, and humankind is called to be holy as you are! Thank you for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin and makes us holy as You are!
