Stand for Righteousness. Trials Will Come!
Partnering With Godly Legislators Through Prayer
The battle for our religious and physical freedoms is intensifying. In the last 2 weeks the following two accounts took place.
Destiny Builders' team had lunch at the Oklahoma State Capitol with several of our legislators--godly men and women who are standing firm for righteousness. We went to encourage them, but they encouraged us. Afterwards, one of our team members, Christina, shared some important insights (See the "How to Pray..." box below.)
NOTE: Consider taking a prayer team to YOUR State Capitol to prayer walk and meet with legislators and hear how you can join with those who are standing for righteousness. |

Righteous Actions for Justice in City Government
The week before, I stood before 9 Tulsa city councilors who were working to push through a resolution to make the city “safe, welcoming and inclusive.” The reasons they stated as the need for the resolution, proved to be lies when I researched their “facts.” So I went to the meeting to challenge what they had stated publicly.
We were told the resolution was about “kindness” and it was about “everyone.” However, one of the authors said while it did include “everyone” per their biological or perceived gender, it didn’t include anyone she considered an “extremist.” Her definition was clear after she called conservative candidates with different political ideologies than herself “Nazi’s, fascists and extremists.” Her definition of “inclusive,” was “exclusive” to those who believed different than she.
Seventeen people showed up to speak against the discrimination in the resolution. In contrast the LGBTQ community flooded the room filling the seats and lining the walls. They were hurting and angry and lashed out at us. We weren’t there to lash out at them.
When I was called to speak, I shared my concerns by affirming everyone’s desire for a safe, welcoming city. I then presented the erroneous information presented. Such as why a company chose to build a new facility in another state. Along with a recent report from a transgender website which gave Tulsa high marks as already being a welcoming and inclusive city. Plus, all protections in the resolution were already in previous resolutions and ordinances. So why were the councilors so hell-bent to get this passed? And it did pass. |

When I spoke in the meeting, I was jeered at, mocked and told to sit down. One of the city councilors made faces as I spoke. Let it not be lost on the reader that the resolution was about “kindness” and the group that said they were afraid and harassed were the harassers.
Even though hundreds had been notified of the meeting, only seventeen people showed up to speak up against the discrimination. It wasn’t enough. The passing of the resolution inched us one step closer toward making it illegal to speak up for our rights.
However, that night also afforded an opportunity to see a large group of people who are crying out for help. Like the hippies of the sixties, they are hurting and searching for answers and identity. They are frustrated, fearful, angry, suicidal and sometimes violent. They expect to be rejected and so reject first. And let’s be honest, the Church does often reject them. We need to learn how to love the sinner, even as we reject the sin. Jesus knew how to do that well. He loved well.
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you (1 Peter 4:12-14).
Are we willing to “share in the sufferings of Christ?” In that meeting I got to. I believe the passing of that resolution is a preview of things to come. May we be ready with our response to love even when attacked—because it is coming.

In Christ,
Kevin & Karen

How to Pray at Your State Capitol
From team member and intercessor, Christina Voth:
“We had planned on walking around the Capitol, but instead were able to pray and declare God‘s Word over Oklahoma in the office of the State Treasurer. In the highest office of the state over issues of finance, we declared God rules. Not man or money or influence or power. God. Period. This effectively closes the gates to the enemy’s influences thru money. Prayer will continue to keep it closed. I believe our prayers today were big, effective and powerful because of the Lord Almighty who stood over them.”
“We will become the state that will influence the nation by bringing forth a new model of the Spirit and a new sound. We will pour out His new wine and His healing and many will taste and see God’s goodness. We will become a state on the front burner, burning bright for God’s glory.”
How to pray over your state & the U.S. Congress:
- Whoever has the most money wins by power.
- Pray that the sources of dark money and the funding that feeds into evil will be cut off.
- Righteous bills that are being stalled in committee
- Pray for an increase in exposure when “Republican” legislators actually work to block righteous legislation and keep it in committee so it can’t be voted on.
- Bills that are blocked simply because the author is firmly for Christ and conservative values
- Pray against the chokehold that is over the righteous so that they may rule for the Lord freely.
