Here’s a quick rundown of the top stories featured on charismamag.com:
America Has Gone Insane When It Comes to Gender Laws
I love my country. But many of my foreign friends now ask me regularly, “What’s going on with the United States?” They are baffled. They are also losing respect for America because a growing number of our leaders have made drastic shifts when it comes to moral values—particularly in the area of sexuality and gender.
Consider New York’s governor Kathy Hochul, who signed a bill on June 25 that guarantees minors access to hormone therapy and transgender surgery. While some states have passed laws to label such treatments as child abuse, Hochul says the new law makes New York “a safe haven for trans youth and their families.” That means the state encourages 14-year-old girls to get full hysterectomies and double mastectomies without a parent’s permission; it also means New York is a “haven” for 9-year-old boys whose schoolteachers have convinced them to get their genitals removed.
In California, a bill is advancing that will force parents to “affirm” their child’s “preferred” gender identity—even if parents object. The Transgender, Gender-Diverse, and Intersex Youth Empowerment Act would classify parents in custody battles as abusive if they refuse to affirm their child’s gender identity. Assemblywoman Lori D. Wilson, author of the bill, claims that forcing a parent to consent to their child’s gender identity will prevent suicide. It would also subject parents to fines and jail time.
Prophetic Word: God’s Favor Will Set Many Unexpected People Apart
We are in an unprecedented time of shaking that some sociologists say only happens in the times of great wars like world wars. The level of tension in culture, politics, economy and Christianity, amongst other religions, can be felt daily as news stories come out that feel like history is changing in our everyday lives.
If we look at biblical stories, the way that God has always worked is that in times of tension when the world cannot resolve its own issues without more conflict and when man can’t self-correct, God puts His favor on people He has been quietly raising up behind the scenes.
Whether it’s the Josephs who are at work in the jails that the enemy has tried to regulate or subdue their authority, or the Esther’s whose beauty is hidden amongst all the beauty of the world but inside there is something that can save a nation. God is about to put the fiery light of His love on the highest places it can shine from.
Prophetic Message Urges Christians to Stand Firm in These Gloomy Times
In a powerful and prophetic message, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn calls on believers to take a firm stand, drawing inspiration from the prophets of old, such as Elijah and Jeremiah.
Cahn’s message highlights the need for intercession and standing in the gap for the nation, urging Christians to embrace their prophetic calling.
Cahn emphasizes that if a civilization that was once dedicated to God and spreading the gospel can fall into moral decay, then it is crucial to take heed and learn from history.
