The Battle of the West Coast: Saints, Let’s Pray

Demontae Edmonds had a vision of the West coast while in prayer recently. The Lord spoke to them saying to tell His people to pray because of legal battles to come in all three states.

Excerpt: 

In the history of our nation, there have been landmark legal battles that have helped shape the culture of each generation and the future of the nation. Often, the judicial rulings of these landmark cases (i.e., Brown v. Board of Education, Miranda v. Arizona, Roe v. Wade, Loving v. Virginia) not only affect just one generation, but several generations to come. Once the new laws are enacted, they become very difficult to overturn and are proverbially “set in stone,” often for decades.

The rulings from landmark cases, although often highly contested, contribute to creating the “new norm” or social norms within society. Thirty years ago, many behaviors, endeavors, and activities which were considered socially unacceptable, immoral, and were frowned upon by society at large, now have become socially acceptable to the masses. For example, years ago, nudity and profanity had no place on the TV screens in American homes. Later, the Supreme Court would permit the FCC more latitude in regulating television broadcasts.

The imagery, immorality, and obscenity displayed on TV is used by the enemy to weaken the consciences of individuals, contaminate the minds of youths, and even confuse some Christians’ moral compasses. Although righteousness cannot be legislated by man and is a work of the Holy Spirit, having ungodly laws in place works in resistance to the work of the Holy Spirit.

The battle for godly decrees, legislation, judicial rulings, and ordinances contributes to the battle for the minds and hearts of our youth in this future generation. The states of Washington, Oregon, and California will be major judicial/legislative battlegrounds in the days to come. The results of these battles will have a ripple effect that will help to shape the destiny of our nation for the next generation.
