The Holy Month of Pride - YIKES - GOD HELP US

 The Holy Month of Pride – Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ In late May, I started seeing news articles that declared June LGBTQ Pride Month. I thought this was a new thing, but it has actually been building up for a couple of decades.US President Bill Clinton was the person who got the ball rolling. In June 1999, he declared the anniversary of the Stonewall riots every June in America as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. In 2009, President Barack Obama declared June LGBT Pride Month. On 1 June2021, President Joe Biden issued an official presidential proclamation recognizing June as Pride Month. Since about 80% of the population has no interest in these alternative sexual lifestyles, you might like to know who is financially backing this campaign. Three key main driversare the largest investment firms of Black Rock, Vanguard, and State Street. These companies control $20 trillion in assets. When Joe Biden was VP, he secretly met with them, saying they have greater power than the Democratic party to advance Left-wing socialagendas. Since they sit on many boards, through their ownership of millions of company shares, they can force firms to adopt sexual diversity platforms. It doesn’t matter that saleswere down that quarter. Activists want to know why the company doesn’t have any black lesbians in management. If Freddie Mercury, Rock Hudson, and Liberace were still alive, they would likely be upset that the people managing their savings were fixated on sexual matters. A homosexual20 years ago would think the only agenda with their investments should be focused on making them grow in value. It is actually illegal for CEOs to conduct transactions that will harm the value of a company. Their duty is to increase shareholder net worth,and they can be sued for failing in their duties. The job of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen should be to look after the nation’s economy. While major banks are failing and the danger of a national debt defect loomed closer,Yellen found time to host several LGBTQ events. While federal agencies have been tripping over themselves to pledge allegiance to queer activism, they couldn’t be bothered to recognize the fallen troops who make our freedompossible. Despite a government-wide tweet-fest over Pride Month, most of them ignore Memorial Day altogether. Not to be outdone, education officials decided to change their government seal to the “progress, pride” flag, paying special homage to transgenderism—while the Marines, AirForce, and Space Force hyped everything from rainbow bullets to astronauts “queering” the moon. The Biden administration is operating under a demonic delusion that it is working to make the government more reflect the American people. At this stage, the left can onlywork to make the US look more like Sodom and Gomorrah. They want to achieve diversity by hiring people who represent the rainbow flag. If they give a job to a transexual, they should then employ 100 straight guys. We could have30% of an agency identify as queer, and it still wouldn’t be enough. Elon Musk is a rare island of sanity on most issues. He celebrated the first day of pride month by promising to lobby against child genital mutilation. “This is a major problem.I will be actively lobbying to criminalize making severe, irreversible changes to children below the age of consent. Shame on those who advocate this! It is utterly contemptible,” he said. I have no personal issues with gay people. If they think God endorses their lifestyle, that’s between them and their creator. The problem comes when they demand that everyoneendorse their sexual practices. Colorado baker Jack Phillips has lost two major cases because he refuses to bake a cake with a homosexual theme. No one should be forced to create something that violates their fundamental beliefs. It would be crazy to think that a Nazi could go into a Jewish bakery and demand that theymake him a cake that looks like the crematoria at Auschwitz. Christians can be compelled to violate God’s law because the promotion of evil is one of Satan’s highest priorities. It just shows how far America has fallen when we have a whole month dedicated to celebrating sexual immorality. Soon every day will be Pride Day. The Bible warns that whena society is at a certain stage of perversion, he will lift his hand of protection, and it will die of self-destruction. “Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about Godfor a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the menalso abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error” (Romans 1:24-27 NIV). -------------------------- The Greatest Theft in History � Jan Markell - https://myemail.constantcontact.com/The-Greatest-Theft-in-History.html?soid=1101818841456&aid=L6UWrvWLNxM Believe me, I would much rather write about the Lord�s soon return than gay pride�or rather, gay depravity. God introduced the rainbow in Genesis 9. It was a part of a promiseHe made. A whole twisted movement hijacked it. In America, the month of June is set aside to celebrate the gay lifestyle. But let�s be honest: the Western culture demands the near-constant celebration of homosexualityevery day and every month of every year. Throw in the now celebrated trans agenda, and the culture decline is astounding. We are racing backwards to the days of Noah. Trans nudity was even celebrated on the White House lawn this week and may have trampledall hopes for a turn-around in America. What Must God Think of �Queer All Year�? But June of 2023 saw dozens of major retailers betraying conservative and Christian customers as they catered to this cultural collapse. �Queer all year� was the theme ofretail America. Target lost billions in sales due to boycotts and others followed in lock step, more committed to an agenda than to corporate profits. We would eventually learn these retail outfits would be subsidized by globalist schemers. Here is just a sampling of items offered to eager customers: •Homosexual and trans clothing for three-month- olds •Cookie rainbow houses for small children •Pet gear, pet toys, pet treats in rainbow colors •Pet chew toys that are guaranteed to turn a dog or cat gay •Rainbow jewelry in 14k gold •Pride-themed eyewear •Multi-colored pride cake mixes •Baby �always-proud� bibs •Special pride boxes of Pop-Tarts targeting youth on Instagram Jesus Had Grace But Spoke Truth Our Romans 1 culture celebrates this and as Christians, we must respond with grace, love, and kindness to every person trapped in the deadly blindness of the LGBTQ lifestyle.But, many once-solid churches and denominations are going along to get along and will not speak out about the biblical warnings. Jesus represented grace and truth. There is no way to be kind and gracious while refusing to tell people the truth that the way of sin is the way of death (Luke 13:5). The path of sexual immorality that ourculture insists is so wonderful, is actually a path to destruction. God�s Throne and a Rainbow! John sees a glorious throne of God surrounded by a rainbow (Revelation 4:3). That reminds us that the rainbow belongs to God, not a sinful sexual culture. God is so committedto the salvation of lost men and women that you can�t even gaze at His throne without seeing a shining symbol of redemption�the rainbow. God, who created the rainbow and is, at this moment surrounded by one, will bring his people into a perfect and sinless world surrounded with glory, wonder, and rainbows.The rainbow is God�s. He is going to take it back. The truth is, he really never lost it. It is our job to point a confused culture to God and a pure life. It�s All About ESG Scores! Globalist outfits like Black Rock have promised corporations an impressive ESG (equity, social, governance) score if they will cooperate in today�s dark agendas. ImpressiveESG scores compensate for customers abandoning them! God Has Said �Enough� What did you think the last days would look like since we�re in the midst of them? Man�s sinful activity is begging for God to send His son to rescue His Bride from the depravity.It is sooner than you think! ------------------------------ Another boycott target - Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com Americans boycotting Target and Bud Light has had an impact, causing both companies to lose billions of dollars in sales and market caps. Moreover, causing them to hide theirsupport�not end it, but move it out of the public eye. These companies are still donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to LGBTQ+++ organizations to fund their efforts in targeting children. Another company to add to the list is NIKE. The popular sportsapparel company not only partakes in boosting the Chinese slave labor practices, but also is a strong supporter of the LGBTQ+++ agenda. NIKE even has an online toolkit to explain all the various sex terms and how to be an advocate for LGBTQ+++ in sports andat schools. Under the �Be True� branding, NIKE offers various �gender affirming� clothing articles promoted by athletes. NIKE posts on its website: �Be True is part of Nike�s broadercommitment to the LGBTQIA2S+ community which focuses on recognition, advocacy, inspiration and education through community grants, employee engagement, storytelling, and product collections.� For example, the NIKE website promotes a new �We see you always,in all ways. The eye-catching design of Be True�s latest collection uses the artwork of trans man and artist Xavier Schipani to illustrate the euphoric feeling and joy of being free to express who you are.� This support by NIKE is nothing new. For example, in 2019, NIKE partnered with OUT Memphis by sponsoring a Queer Youth Field Day. The advert for the event boasts: �Our goal is to offer a fun, safe and supportiveenvironment for all LGBTQ and Ally youth ages 13-25 to be active and have a chance to meet other like minded youth. In addition to the games we will be playing, there will be food, music, awards and resources available for youth. The first 80 individuals topre-register are guaranteed a Nike swag bag! Come OUT and join us for a fabulous day!� The online flier came complete with a question and answer link and sign up forms for kids as young as 13. To be fair, NIKE is offering all this under the mantra of inclusivity�that,as NIKE says �All identities, bodies, and communities have the right to pursue their health and wellness goals safely, without concern or judgment.� Notwithstanding, NIKE is still targeting children and is partnering with the most radical and extreme LGBTQ+++ organizations�Human Rights Campaign, GLESN, and GLAAD�all ofwhich target kids in school. GLESN promotes �transition� of minors without parental knowledge. Breitbart reports that NIKE has given some $600,000 to these groups to push their agenda in schools and communities. Psalm 127:3-4 says, �Children are indeed a heritagefrom the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one�s youth.� It�s a sad state of affairs when adults, corporations, schools and the government are slinging arrows at children rather thanprotecting them from predators.
