Another prayer request for Israel, from Asher Intrater:
Hi Friends,
We really need your prayers! We are here in Jerusalem, right in the center of perhaps the biggest demonstration against the government in the history of the country. People have been asking me what I think is right and wrong on the issues. I think there is right and wrong on both sides.
So, we need you to PRAY. We need righteousness, justice, wisdom for cabinet members, unity in the government and right decisions to be made.
The Bible says we are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, so we are asking you to pray with us for God to turn this around for good, for His kingdom to come and His will to be done.
Just a couple of hours after we filmed this clip, Netanyahu announced a freeze on the reform laws, and offered a period of negotiation talks to achieve wider, agreed-upon proposal. He quoted I Kings 3 about the judgment of Solomon to save the baby as an example of the need to preserve unity in the people. The spiritual roots of this conflict go back 3000 years to the wars between ancient Judah and Israel. The current political clash is touching the hearts of our people in a profound way.
Please don’t stop praying.
In Yeshua,
Asher

Israel’s Netanyahu agrees to halt judicial reform for now as mass protests continue
|
|
|
Reports say that up to 100K people protested outside Israel's parliament on Monday
|
|
|
Israel’s embattled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reached an agreement with his National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to postpone his coalition’s judicial legislative plan for this session of parliament. The controversial plan would overhaul the country's judiciary and has led to mass protests to stop the government’s legal reform package.
In a televised statement from the prime minister's office Netanyahu confirmed he would suspend the second and third votes on the legislation for the present session of parliament. The next parliamentary session begins on April 30th. Netanyahu blamed extremists for the ongoing protests and said "we stand and talk as brothers not enemies."
Israel largely came to a grinding halt on Monday with its international Ben Gurion Airport shut down due to the work stoppage, but following the announced pause the nationwide strike was suspended. (Fox News) Read more.

- Father God, we thank You for the grace demonstrated by Israel's leader in its time of crisis. We bless P.M. Benjamin Netanyahu and the work of his hands, in Jesus' name, amen and amen.

First responders in Tennessee are on the scene of a school shooting at a Nashville elementary school.
Three students and three adults were killed in the attack, according to Vanderbilt Medical Center. Police say officers engaged with and killed the shooter, identified as a female who appeared to be teenager, carrying two "assault-type rifles" and a handgun.
The female, who has yet to be identified, killed three students and three adults before being killed by police just before 10:30 a.m. local time.
Police say the shooter entered the building through a side door before climbing stairs to the second floor, where she then opened fire.
Officials at the medical center say three young students were transported to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt with gunshot wounds. All three were pronounced dead after arrival. Three more adults were also pronounced dead following the attack. All three were staff at the school.
Law enforcement is working to contact the families of victims, none of whom have been publicly identified. Police have yet to establish any connection the shooter may have had with the school. (Fox News) Read more here.

|
|
|
Nashville police identified the shooter who opened fire on Monday morning at The Covenant School as 28-year-old Audrey Hale, a transgender woman and former student at the private Presbyterian school.
Hale's home address is about three miles away from the Covenant School, according to public records. The FBI, ATF, and local police cordoned off that home with crime scene tape on Monday afternoon.
Investigators found a "manifesto" and other writings that they are looking into as they search for a motive. Hand drawn maps of the school with detailed entry points were also located at the residence. (Fox News) Read more here.

Nevertheless, we ask that this episode not be used to fuel those who are lobbying to have our guns taken away. It is people who kill people; not their guns. In Your Name, amen and amen.

Trump suggests Manhattan DA Bragg 'already dropped the case' against him: 'It's a fake case'
|
|
|
Trump says, 'They have absolutely nothing'
|
|
|
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested Saturday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has dropped the case against him for alleged campaign finance violations.
"I think they've already dropped the case," Trump told reporters aboard his plane after appearing at a campaign rally in Waco, Texas.
"It's a fake case. Some fake cases, they have absolutely nothing."
When asked for comment about Trump’s claim the case has been dropped, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital: "This has been dropped because everyone knows this was a partisan witch-hunt by a radical, leftist DA that sought to politically weaponize the Justice system to influence an election."
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee have demanded that Bragg testify before Congress about the details of his probe.
The D.A's office blasted the Republicans' request in a statement Saturday
"We evaluate cases in our jurisdiction based on the facts, the law, and the evidence. It is not appropriate for Congress to interfere with pending local investigations," the office said. "This unprecedented inquiry by federal elected officials into an ongoing matter serves only to hinder, disrupt and undermine the legitimate work of our dedicated prosecutors. As always, we will continue to follow the facts and be guided by the rule of law in everything we do."
The office told Fox News Digital that Bragg "stands by" his previous pledge to publicly state the conclusion of the investigation, "whether we conclude our work without bringing charges, or move forward with an indictment." (Fox News) Read more here.
|
|
|
- Lord, we pray that the DA will use truth to make the final decision, and that all charges will be dropped. Legal analysts have stated that the case is weak and not rooted in facts. We stand on Your justice for the answer.
- "But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." (Amos 5:24)

1. Historic’ strike: Israel shutting down; flights, medical services, pre-schools canceled- World Israel News
The mass protest against the government’s planned judicial reforms leapt up several notches Monday as a slew of shutdowns were announced that should affect every citizen in the country.
Histadrut Labor Federation head Arnon Bar-David announced a “historic” strike at a press conference in the morning. This is “the right way,” he said, “to bring the country back to sanity,” as “employers and employees link hands together and shut down the State of Israel.”
Bar-David maintained that this was not a political matter, “not an issue of right and left,” but that matters have simply come to a head and “we can’t tear apart the nation anymore.”
The Israel Medical Association joined the call, saying that all public hospitals and community clinics would stop all but life-saving treatments and services. (Read more)

2. Coping with war: Challenges faced by Russian and Ukrainian olim in Israel - YNET News
Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year has prompted a massive influx of immigrants from both warring Eastern European nations to the Jewish state.
Meanwhile, many of those émigrés have run into numerous challenges trying to find their footing in their new home, struggling with everything from finding suitable housing to earning a living and even learning Hebrew.
Sophia Tupolev-Luz is the founder of The Reboot Startup Nation, a non-profit, grassroots initiative rallying Israel's tech sector to welcome displaced professionals affected by the war in Ukraine.
Speaking to the Ynet studio in an interview, she says that many of the displaced professionals that arrive in Israel lack the social capital which "prevents them from making that economic impact on Israel." (Read more)

3. Herzog speaks to Netanyahu, Lapid and Gantz: Prepare working teams - Israel National News
President Isaac Herzog spoke on Monday evening with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, opposition leader Yair Lapid and the chairman of the National Unity Party, MK Benny Gantz, after the announcement that the legislation of the judicial reform would be paused.
The President welcomed the initiative to start an immediate negotiation process that will be launched under the auspices of the President’s Residence, in an attempt to reach a broad agreement. The President requested that working teams be established on behalf of each side for this purpose.
The President clarified that he intends to continue to allow the representatives of the various factions in the Knesset, the civil society organizations and interested parties to present their various positions and ideas as was done in the past weeks.
Gantz, meanwhile, spoke with Netanyahu on Monday evening and welcomed the stoppage of the legislation. During the conversation, Gantz called on Netanyahu to keep Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in his position, which Gantz said was "essential for national security and to calm the spirits at this time."
In his address to the nation earlier on Monday, Netanyahu said that the judicial reform will not be advanced in the current Knesset session. (Read more)

4. In Arab world, Israel's crisis dominates the news- Jerusalem Post
Arab broadcasters carried rolling coverage of Israeli protests, strikes and political chaos on Monday, drawing the rapt attention of viewers to the internal fight over government plans to overhaul the judiciary.
The crisis featured far and wide, from the pan-Arab channel Al Jazeera, whose ticker was dominated by a stream of news from Israel, to al-Manar, run by the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah, which led its evening newscast with the story.
Some Arabs said they hoped the crisis would lead to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political demise. Others expressed hope of more far-reaching consequences for Israel, which fought numerous wars with Arab adversaries after its establishment in 1948. (Read more)

5. Attack on Jewish leader in Finland sends shockwaves - Israel Hayom
Finland's leaders strongly condemned an assault on a Jewish lawmaker who was assaulted and punched in the face Saturday while campaigning for the country's April 2 general election.
President Sauli Niinisto tweeted that Saturday's physical attack on veteran conservative politician Ben Zyskowicz, 68, was "a cowardly act" that delivered a blow to Finnish democracy.
Zyskowicz told Finnish media that a large man who appeared to be between the ages of 30 and 40 confronted him at a metro station in Helsinki, the capital city that he represents.
The man started yelling, blaming him for Finland's decision to join NATO and hurling antisemitic insults, Zyskowicz told Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, adding that the perpetrator also threatened to kill him and to push him onto the subway tracks. (Read more)

1. House Republicans Introduce Resolution To Remove Kamala Harris From Role As Border Czar - Daily Caller
Republican Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson on Friday reintroduced a resolution, first obtained by the Daily Caller, that calls for Vice President Kamala Harris to be removed from her position as border czar.
Friday marks two years since President Joe Biden appointed Harris as head of the border crisis, something Republicans are saying she and the president have completely failed to handle.
“Kamala Harris has done nothing to ‘address the root cause of migration’ or stop the influx of illegal immigrants coming across our border daily. She continues to sit by as the number of illegal immigrants coming across our border skyrockets, fentanyl deaths explode, and CBP officers are left to fend for themselves. She has completely betrayed the American people by blatantly disregarding her duties as Border Czar,” Jackson told the Caller before introducing the resolution.
“Enough is enough! President Biden must remove Kamala Harris and replace her with someone who will put Americans first and stop the crisis at our southern border. Politics should never compromise our national security. We need change now!,” Jackson added.
READ THE RESOLUTION HERE:

2. House lawmakers tour D.C. jail holding Jan. 6 defendants - NBC News
Members of the House Oversight Committee on Friday toured a Washington, D.C., jail where some Jan. 6 defendants are being held and offered contrasting descriptions of conditions inside the facility.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who spearheaded the visit, painted a picture of constitutional violations and overall mistreatment, while her Democratic counterparts said the defendants were being treated fairly with nothing out of the ordinary.
"Their due process rights are being violated. And they have been mistreated and treated as political prisoners," Greene, R-Ga., told reporters after the tour, flanked by fellow Republicans on the committee, including Reps. Byron Donalds of Florida, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Mike Collins of Georgia.
Greene, who previously visited the jail in November 2021, had worked with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., to organize the trip for members of Congress. Comer's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Friday's tour. (NBC News) Read more.

3. DOJ sued for lack of transparency in response to violence targeting pro-life groups, churches - Christian Post
The U.S. Department of Justice is being sued over what plaintiffs describe as an inadequate response to violence against churches and pro-life pregnancy centers as pro-abortion vandalism continues across the United States.
The conservative think tank Heritage Foundation and Mike Pence's advocacy organization Advancing American Freedom filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department in federal court Monday. The complaint maintains that the federal law enforcement agency has taken insufficient action to address violence directed at churches and pro-life pregnancy centers in recent years, including some that have been firebombed.
As outlined the in the legal filing, the advocacy group CatholicVote first wrote a letter to the DOJ's Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Kristen Clarke in December 2021, outlining "concerns over the disturbing increase in attacks against Catholic symbols, shrines, statues and churches across the United States over the past year." Clarke asked the department to "investigate these complaints and take appropriate action."
The FOIA request highlighted "serious concerns that the work of the DOJ is being inappropriately politicized, as investigations into these acts of violence against organizations disfavored by the current administration are being slow-walked or outright ignored." The request also sought records related to or containing "communications internal to the DOJ on the subject of crimes or investigations (potential or otherwise) of crimes against pro-life organizations" as well as communications between the DOJ and the Domestic Policy Council or the Executive Office of the President on the same subject matter.
On Feb. 27, nearly five months after the plaintiffs and the other organizations submitted the FOIA request, the FBI informed them that it had closed the request because it did not "contain enough descriptive information to permit a search of our records." The complaint characterized the defendants' failure to respond to the FOIA request as a violation of federal law and DOJ regulations. (Read more)

- Father God, we come against and bind the spirit that is causing this delay of justice; and we loose the spirit that would expedite this process. Lord God, in our nation, especially, we demand justice and protection for these pro-life groups and
churches. Lord God, let Your will prevail in this critical matter, in Your name, amen and amen!
- "In that day the Lord of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate." (Isaiah 28:5,6)

4. Banking woes, Fed keep U.S. market investors on edge - Reuters
Investors are settling in for a long slog in the U.S. stock market in coming months, braced for more tumult in the banking sector and worries over how the Federal Reserve’s tightening will ripple through the economy.
Banking sector concerns drove sharp moves in financial stocks in the United States throughout the week after the collapse of two U.S. lenders and last weekend’s Swiss-government-orchestrated takeover of troubled Credit Suisse (CSGN.S) by rival UBS (UBSG.S).
Many worry that other nasty surprises are lurking as the rapid series of interest rate hikes the Fed has delivered over the past year dry up cheap money and widen fissures in the economy.
"The market is very nervous at this point and investors are acting first and looking into the nuances later," said Wei Li, global chief investment strategist at fund giant BlackRock. "It's understandable because it’s not super clear that this is definitely contained."
Investors will likely remain steeled for the potential for another high-profile failure until the Fed or Treasury respond in a way that calms fears of another bank run, said Katie Nixon, chief investment officer, wealth management, at Northern Trust, who is focusing on tech-sector stocks with "fortress balance sheets."
"Right now it's a crisis of confidence and everyone is looking for direction," she said. (Read more)

- Father God, at a time like this, when the waves of our economic sector seem to be crashing around us, we purpose in our hearts to simply "get into the boat" with You, Abba . . . even as the painting at the top of this Brief demonstrates. Just as the disciples trusted You to bring them safely into safe harbor, so we, too, in our time, do the same. Let us not fix our gaze upon the turmoil in the markets, but let us fix our gaze firmly upon You, Abba, the author and the finisher of our faith. In Your Holy Name we pray, amen and amen.

And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5,6)

5. 'We've lost the aqueduct': How severe flooding threatens a Los Angeles water lifeline - L.A. Times
For more than 100 years, the Los Angeles Aqueduct has endured earthquakes, flash floods and dozens of bomb attacks as it wends and weaves through the canyons and deserts of the eastern Sierra Nevada.
But earlier this month, record storms accomplished the unthinkable when floodwaters undermined a 120-foot-long section of aqueduct in Owens Valley, causing its concrete walls to crumble.
“We’ve lost the aqueduct!” a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power inspector told his superiors by cellphone. As he spoke, chocolate-colored runoff and debris undercut the aqueduct just west of Highway 395 and the community of Olancha.
It was the first time in history that the 200-mile aqueduct had been breached by extreme weather, threatening water deliveries to 4 million ratepayers in Los Angeles. It was also an indication of just how difficult it would be to defend the waterway against torrential runoff from a winter of near record snowpack. For weeks, DWP crews had been using heavy equipment and other means to control the anticipated spring runoff, but even longtime aqueduct workers were shocked by the suddenness of the break. (Read more)

- We lift up the authorities in Los Angeles and ask Your grace and wisdom to be upon them as they work to curtail the flooding
and the breaking of this aqueduct. Help them, O Lord, we pray, amen and amen.

an ever-present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)

6. Samaritan’s Purse sending relief after tornadoes kill at least 26 in Mississippi, Alabama - Christian Post
After a devastating series of tornadoes swept across Mississippi and northern Alabama Friday night, leaving a 100-mile path of destruction in their wake and at least 26 dead, the humanitarian relief organization Samaritan’s Purse said supplies and equipment were en route to help residents in the affected areas.
“The damage from last night’s tornadoes is incredible,” wrote the Rev. Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse, on Facebook. “Pray for all those who have lost so much — especially the families whose loved ones were killed. We will need volunteers to help tarp damaged roofs, cut up fallen or damaged trees, and clear debris from yards and homes.”
Graham also shared Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves’ call for prayer for the affected communities. “The loss will be felt in these towns forever,” Reeves said.
Towns such as Rolling Fork and Silver City in Sharkey and Humphreys counties of Mississippi were particularly hard hit, according to the National Weather Service.
“It sounded like a freight train,” Andrew Dennard from Rolling Fork told NBC News. He said an airborne piece of wood narrowly missed his head as it crashed into his home. “I don’t think we’re going to rebuild from this. It’s worse than death,” he was quoted as saying. (Read more)

|
|
- Father God, only You can minister to the lives of so many who have been impacted by these storms. We call forth the Comforter, in Your name. We also lift up Samaritan's Purse and the many other rescue teams that are now heading to Mississippi. May they be blessed by Your hand for the work they have been called to do. Amen.
- “Comfort, yes, comfort My people!”
Says your God. (Isaiah 40:1)

Speaking And Listening As Leaders In Christ
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, March 27, 2023
The banking crisis, the energy crisis, the inflation crisis, the fight over sanctioned molestation and sexual abuse of our children in public schools, China, Russia, Ukraine, the Middle East are all examples of how a society is undermined because the side in control lacks common sense and refuses to listen to alternative solutions. At some point, which is already here, sides are drawn, heels are dug in, and nobody even wants to listen to solutions that can be applied to meet the challenges ahead. This leaves many wondering what it will take to snap people back into reality. Still many ask over and over again what they can do because they feel helpless to stand in the gap. Don’t be discouraged, listen up!
It starts with prayer. The main reason our world and our nation is in the poor shape it’s in is found in the absence of God. Those pushing immoral and nonsensical solutions that result in disaster do not have Christ, otherwise the Holy Spirit would guide them to their senses. The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5 that we should put on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet of hope of salvation and live together with Christ, whether awake or sleep. Verses 14-17 say, “Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing.” Read More

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Tenney Introduces Legislation To Increase Penalties For Those Who Attack Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers
|
|
|
Republican New York Rep. Claudia Tenney reintroduced legislation Thursday that would make sure pro-life pregnancy centers and places of worship are protected from activists, and would increase the penlties for attackers.
The legislation, titled the Pregnancy Resource Center Defense Act and first obtained by the Daily Caller, is a companion legislation to the same bill introduced by Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley. The bill would increase criminal penalties from a misdemeanor to a felony for first-time offenses. The bill would also increase the criminal fine from $10,000 to $25,000.
In Washington, D.C., the Capitol Hill Crisis Pregnancy Center was vandalized in June 2022. In Amherst, New York, a CompassCare Pregnancy Services location was set on fire as more pro-life pregnancy centers and Christian churches have been vandalized. (Daily Caller) Read more here.

Marjorie Taylor Greene dismisses ‘paid protesters’ during visit to J6 prison: ‘They work for evil’
|
|
|
No Republican lawmaker has done more to bring attention to the plight of the protesters who are rotting in a special Washington, D.C. jail for their presence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, than Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and on Friday she and other House lawmakers paid a visit to the site to personally observe human rights violations suffered by the political prisoners.
The fiery Georgia congresswoman was met by a gaggle of disruptive leftists who turned out to heckle her, shouting and loudly blowing whistles as she spoke outside of what some have described as a facility that is reminiscent of a communist Chinese gulag where the detainees are subjected to brutally oppressive conditions including isolation, beatings, and torture.
“As you can see, there’s paid protesters here today,” Greene said above the din. “And they can whistle and say everything they want but we will not be deterred. We do not care about them because they work for evil.” (bizpacreview.com) Read more here.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Friday morning chaired a private meeting with top financial regulators amid renewed fears over the global banking system.
The meeting – held by the Financial Stability Oversight Council – was closed to the public, the Treasury Department said in a statement. The meeting was previously scheduled.
Established in 2010 under the Dodd-Frank Act, the FSOC is led by Treasury and includes the heads of the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies. The council meets regularly to discuss the state of financial stability and regulation.
A fresh banking sell-off gripped markets on Friday morning as shares of Deutsche Bank tumbled, reigniting worries about a broader financial crisis. Shares of the German lender plunged nearly 10% in trading on the German stock exchange.
The drop follows a steep rise in the cost of financial derivatives, known as credit default swaps, that insure bondholders against the bank defaulting on its debts. (Fox News) Read more.

NASA Invites Media to See Mars Habitat Before
Crew Enters for One Year
|
|
|
Media are invited to visit NASA’s simulated Mars habitat on Tuesday, April 11, at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. This summer, four volunteers will begin a yearlong Mars mission in the ground-based habitat, helping NASA prepare for human exploration of Mars for the benefit of humanity.
The mission is the first of three planned in NASA’s CHAPEA habitat, or Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog. It is scheduled to begin in June when the volunteer crew, who are not astronauts, enters the 3D-printed habitat.
During the simulation, crew members will carry out different types of mission activities, including simulated spacewalks, robotic operations, habitat maintenance, personal hygiene, exercise, and crop growth. To be as Mars-realistic as feasible, the crew also will face environmental stressors such as resource limitations, isolation, and equipment failure.
The in-person media event includes an opportunity to speak with subject matter experts and capture b-roll and photos inside the habitat. Crew members will not be available as they’ll arrive at NASA Johnson later this spring to begin training for the simulated mission. Read More

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signs law banning 'gender transitions' for children, males in female bathrooms
|
|
Iowa is the latest state to prohibit surgical or chemical “transitioning” of gender-confused minors as well as forcing students to share restrooms with members of the opposite sex, thanks to new laws signed by Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds. The Des Moines Register reports that on Wednesday, Reynolds signed Senate File 538, which forbids the administering of prohibits Iowa doctors from prescribing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or “transition” surgeries to anyone younger than 18, and Senate File 482, which forbids schools from allowing individuals to use a bathroom or changing that does not match their biological sex.
The second bill also requires parental consent for a student to use alternative facilities, in order to prevent schools from indulging a child’s gender confusion behind their parents’ backs. “We need to just pause, we need to understand what these emerging therapies actually may potentially do to our kids,” Reynolds said. “My heart goes out to them. I’m a parent, I’m a grandmother, I know how difficult this is. This is an extremely uncomfortable position for me to be in. I don’t like it. But I have to do what I believe right now is in the best interest of the kids.”
On top of those issues, experts outside the medical establishment further warn that surgically or chemically reinforcing gender confusion imposes irreversible harm on children such as infertility, impairment of adult sexual function, and reduced life expectancy, as well as the psychological toll of being “locked into” physical alterations regardless of whether they change their minds when they mature. The issue is grimly illustrated in the story of Yaeli Martinez, a 19-year-old to whom “gender transitioning” was touted as a possible cure for her depression in high school, supported by a high school counselor who withheld what she was going through from her mother. The troubled girl killed herself after trying to live as a man for three years. (LIFESITE) Read More

- Abba, we praise You for the truth that is being exposed about the valid dangers of gender transitioning of children. In the name of Jesus. we rebuke the enemy for deceiving many and for embedding perpetual lies of gaining "freedom" thorough gender manipulations. Bless Governor Reynolds for signing this bill into law for the protection of children! Save them from the evil one and unveil eyes, bringing right alignment of true gender-identity according to God's perfect creation. In Jesus mighty name, Amen

Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way.
