Sharon Slater, President of Family Watch International brings news of major Transgender, Abortion, and Sexual Rights Controversies that have erupted at the United Nations…

The outrageous, deceptive tactics and methods used this past week both at UN headquarters in New York and at the UN Human Rights Council are beyond compare.

We report to you on two major developments that erupted at the UN on Friday 22nd March 2019 on critical family and life issues.

They lie, they cheat, they bully, and they abuse the UN system, all because they know they cannot get their radical agendas adopted by the body of UN Member States in open, transparent negotiations.

We are pleased to report to you that more than one-third of the UN Human Rights Council members took the serious step of disassociating from South Africa’s transgender resolution on women in sport!

Thank you to everyone who helped by emailing and faxing messages to South Africa and other HRC Member States!

See the joint statement from these countries here. https://familywatch.org/17280-2/#.XJ0Az5j7RhE

We also report on the underhanded, disrespectful, abusive tactics used at the UN Commission on the Status of Women to pretend that nations reached “consensus” on multiple radical provisions.

For weeks, many nations repeatedly and strongly contested multiple provisions promoting abortion, gender/transgender confusion, comprehensive sexuality education, radical sexual rights, and much more.

Yet the Kenyan ambassador facilitating the negotiations completely ignored their calls for deletion and included most every controversial paragraph, while pretending they represented the consensus of the group.

Powerful provisions on the family as the “fundamental unit of society” and other aspects were all gutted, despite the insistence by multiple countries for their inclusion. The 50-plus references to the family throughout the document and strong references to mothers and fathers had been either deleted from the final text or twisted in meaning.

The straw that broke the camel’s back was likely when a paragraph calling for the document to be implemented with respect for national sovereignty and religious and cultural values was abruptly deleted from the document by the facilitator with no discussion. This sovereignty provision was backed by the entire African voting bloc and many other Member States.

Ironically, in the end, the openly biased chair from Ireland announced that the working document for CSW called “Agreed Conclusions” had been “agreed” with consensus. She did this immediately after listening to the strong, emotional statements of two CSW member states (Saudi Arabia and Bahrain) calling out many of the procedural abuses during the negotiations and announcing their countries were withholding consensus from “Agreed Conclusions.”

See the strong, pointed statement from Saudi Arabia outlining the many abuses here:  https://familywatch.org/saudi-csw-63-statement/#.XJ0Bo5j7RhE

Yet another joint statement was read from the floor by the country of Comoros, signed by 18 Member States (Bahrain, Belarus, Cameroon, Comoros, Djibouti, Libya, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Gambia, Malaysia, Mauritania, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russian Federation, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe), expressing their outrage for the abuses of the process during the negotiations, and in particular on how the family paragraphs were handled.

To witness firsthand the length and depth to which abortion, sexual rights, and transgender ideology activists will stoop to force their agenda on the world was breathtaking to say the least. You can watch a video of the atrocities as they unfolded here: http://webtv.un.org/meetings-events/watch/14th-plenary-meeting-commission-on-the-status-of-women-csw63-2019-action-on-draft-proposals-action-on-draft-agreed-conclusions-action-on-any-other-outstanding-issues/6017175833001/?term=#.XJZxtfcD3Ec.email

We predict big changes are coming to the UN as many UN Member States are now finally sufficiently angry to say enough is enough.

The radicals have finally gone too far, and they are going to regret what they did at CSW this year as the backlash is going to be strong.

Our Family Watch team covering both Geneva and New York is grateful for all you did to support our grueling work these past few weeks as we worked to be your voice in protecting family, life, and children at the UN.

Praise God for the work of Family Watch and other advocates and agencies who are upholding biblical values, the sanctity of Christian marriage and the family.

Pray that the underhanded tactics being deployed by the officials will come into the light and that these provisions can be revisited and discussed with equity and transparency.

President Vladimir Putin has signed legislation enabling Russian authorities to block websites and hand out punishment for "fake news" and material deemed insulting to the state or the public.

The two bills that critics see as part of a Kremlin effort to increase control over the Internet and stifle dissent were signed by the president on March 18, according to posts on the government portal for legal information.

The new legislation allows the authorities to block websites or Internet accounts that publish what they deem to be "fake news" and penalizing those who post material found to be insulting to state officials, state symbols, or Russian society.

The parliament’s upper chamber, the Federation Council, approved the bills on March 13 after the lower chamber, the State Duma, gave final approval to the proposed legislation on March 7.

On March 11, the Russian Presidential Council for Development of Civil Society and Human Rights urged the upper house to send the bills back to the Duma to be reworked.

The presidential council, whose advice is often ignored by Putin, cited the European Convention on Human Rights and said that freedom of expression cannot be restricted exclusively due to doubts about whether what is being expressed is true.

The new law empowers the prosecutor-general and his deputies to determine what constitutes fake news without a court decision, after which the state media and communications watchdog Roskomnadzor would block the site or account.

The law sets fines for publishing "fake news" at up to 100,000 rubles ($1,525) for individuals, 200,000 rubles for public officials, and 500,000 rubles for companies.

The law says publications officially registered with Roskomnadzor, including online media outlets, will be given a chance to remove reports deemed as fake news before their websites are blocked.

It says websites that are not registered with Roskomnadzor will be blocked without warning.

The law also establishes fines of up to 100,000 rubles for insulting the Russian authorities, government agencies, the state, the public, the flag, or the constitution.

Repeat offenders will face bigger fines and can be jailed for up to 15 days.

Roskomnadzor will give Internet users 24 hours to remove material deemed by the prosecutor-general or his deputies to be insulting to the state or society, and those that fail to do so will be blocked, the law says.

In January, after the State Duma approved the bills in their first readings, Russian opposition politician Ilya Yashin said: "These are crazy bills."

"How can they prohibit people from criticizing the authorities?" he added.

Pray against this apparent state censorship.

Pray for those campaigning for the need to preserve freedom of speech and fundamental human rights.

Pray for the Christian Church in Russia that they will have a strong voice and that they will be fearless.

EU leaders have not made themselves accountable to their citizens. This is evident in the EU’s commitment to a reckless open-door immigration policy which has brought a massive wave of crime and jihad attacks to Europe. But EU leaders have bowed in dhimmitude to the Islamic supremacist will, using “kindness,” “diversity,” “multiculturalism,” etc., as a cover. No reasonable person should think that supporting responsible immigration policies equates to racism.

The self-inflicted crisis across Europe is clear in the fact that as of the end of 2016, European taxpayers had paid $767,029,491 USD to Turkey under an agreement the EU made regarding migrants, with “hundreds of millions more in the pipeline.” Instead of erecting walls and exercising their right to sovereignty, Western leaders made themselves stooges to Islamic supremacists, who keep demanding more concessions. Also at the end of 2016, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to “open the floodgates of migrants into Europe” because he was upset about the suspension of talks on Turkey’s membership into the EU. Imagine a despot such as Erdogan being an EU member, with his visions of reviving the Ottoman Empire, and his ambitions to criminalize “Islamophobia.” It could still happen. European leaders still kowtow to Erdogan.

Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán has warned that the migrant crisis will be repeated “in an even stronger form” in due course.

Orban was referring to the strange relationship that the EU has with Erdogan. Orban warned that “the Turkish government has the sole power to decide on whether or not the millions of refugees in its country will set out for Europe,” and stated that Europe is “approaching the point at which the population of the countries of the Arab world will overtake that of the European Union – and in this I haven’t included sub-Saharan Africa, which is hardly able to provide for its populations.”

The EU is finished unless the reasonable members of the Union exit fast and/or reestablish effective border control.

“Hungary PM: Migrant Crisis ‘Will Happen Again In an Even Stronger Form,’” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, March 4, 2019:

Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán has warned that the migrant crisis will be repeated “in an even stronger form” in due course, in a combative interview with the German press.

The Fidesz leader has positioned himself in the vanguard of a coalition of conservative and national populist parties hoping to tip the balance of power in the European Union away from the pro-open borders establishment of centrist-globalist parties in the upcoming European Parliament elections, and in favour of a rising pro-sovereignty, anti-mass migration faction.

In an interview with the Germany Sunday newspaper Welt am Sonntag, in which Orbán was challenged at length on a poster campaign featuring European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker alongside billionaire plutocrat and open borders activist George Soros, the Hungarian warned that “the Turkish government has the sole power to decide on whether or not the millions of refugees in its country will set out for Europe.”

The flow of migrants into Europe via Turkey was stemmed - but not stopped - only as a result of the EU agreeing to a multi-billion euro deal with Ankara to control its borders, but the Near Asian country’s Islamist regime has repeatedly threatened to reopen the floodgates.

“We are approaching the point at which the population of the countries of the Arab world will overtake that of the European Union – and in this I haven’t included sub-Saharan Africa, which is hardly able to provide for its populations,” Orbán explained, suggesting that much of this growing population could make for the generous welfare states of Europe.

Defending his poster campaign against EU chief Jean-Claude Juncker, who the Hungarians believe to be enabling an increase in immigration, the Hungarian leader noted that the Luxembourger “commands hardly any respect” in Central Europe.

Pray for wisdom and political strength for national leaders across the EU in managing migration and implementing border controls.

Pray against manipulative threats and negative third party attempts to influence these issues.

One man has earned two titles. 1). Known as, “The most evil man in the world.” To mention George Soros’ name in Europe and many Asian countries, people immediately recognize his name – “He has bankrupted… he has tried or has destroyed our country.”

In America, he has disguised his name well. Until the last two years, few have known who he was. He is fast becoming the one known as the “man who will destroy America.”  His sole motive is to make this country a socialist/communist nation.  There are no scruples; nothing is wrong as long as he accomplishes the purpose of bringing the country down.

Have you ever heard of division on the House of Representatives floor?  He has groups that are trained with a masterfully written manual on how to get congressmen and senators and other government people to change their votes or change their minds.

Immigration border problems - have you heard of these?  I can’t say he is solely responsible for all of this but he has trained groups in many Latin American countries, gathering chosen people who join these caravans of illegal immigrants traveling north.  There are lawyers on both sides of the border teaching people how to get around immigration laws.  People on this side of the border who meet them and help them.

Demonstrations - made up of paid individuals who are bused in, housed, and trained in how to agitate so that the other group gets in trouble rather than themselves.

How many more groups do we want to mention? He is in involved in funding 206 institutions and societies, and recently 300 more have been found.  Most of these groups are led by former government employees who spend time in his training school in California with the purpose of getting everyone with the same vision on how to bring down America.

If we ever needed to be down on our knees, it is now.  It is all or nothing.

Let’s look at some recent developments.  How did the radical women, two of them Muslim--AOC, Rashida Tlaib and Ilham Omar --that we hear about every day get in Congress?   Soros’ plan was for Obama to be followed by Clinton.  When this did not happen he came out and said he would use all his influence and

money to bring down Trump and the Republicans.

He beefed up the Democracy Alliance referred to as a secretive billionaire club (a great source of money) with plans to help the Democrats take Congress.

When this was not moving fast enough for the 2018 elections a new group was formed - the Justice Democrats a far, far left socialist/communist group. A media/political group.  As an experiment they considered around 1000 people and finally narrowed down to 14, 10 of whom won, three in the Congress.  

Each person is told exactly what they can say, for example on the floor of Congress or to news reporters. This group claims that if they push this at the same ratio in 2020 they should have a minimum of 79 who win.

Are you getting the picture?  Soros brought in Muslims to start and run this group.  Another scary thing is that the majority of those who won elections were this same religion.

Soros works very closely with the Muslims.     

Is this man on target for 2020?   Where does Soros get his spiritual genius?

Where does he get his spiritual power?     I’m asking God to make it clear in the spiritual realm. But we also see a lot of the spiritual that is manifested in the physical realm.  Let’s start at the beginning and work our way up.

• He was born a Jew. Why does he hate God and his people? Or is he so demonically possessed that as the devil hates the Jews he too is entrapped?
• He escaped to England- his mentor Rothschild- illuminati.
• Influenced by Hindus and their ceremonies.
• Buddhist - has been to Aspen, Colorado and met with the Dalai Lama and been through demonic ceremonies.
• Islam - the deepest relationship he is embedded with. The demonic powers of Muslims – “Spirit of death”.
• When I asked a group who is praying for him where they thought he was getting his spiritual power, some responded that demonic spirits guide him in his decisions.

HELP, GOD, WE ARE DROWNING.

There is only one way out.  Down on our knees in unity.  PRAYER.

1. Cry out, “Save us, O God our Savior; gather us and deliver us…” (I Chron.16:25)
2. As the Psalmist prayed, “Break the arm of the wicked and evil man..” (10:15) “The power of the wicked will be broken” and “the future of the wicked will be cut off “(Ps. 37:17, 38). Pray that this evil man’s influence will be destroyed and that his resources to do further harm be cut off.
3. Pray that the many destructive organizations he funds be overthrown and closed down and that he and those involved with him will be given grace to repent and come to Christ.
4. Pray that any links with demonic spirits and their obvious control over Soros will be severed and broken.

Sometimes we wonder if our seemingly puny prayers make any difference in the colossal matters affecting the wellbeing of nations.

However, Scripture tells us that God stills the “turmoil of the nations” and He “makes wars cease to the ends of the earth” (Ps. 65:7 and 46:9). He also says directly to His people, “Ask of me and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.” (Ps. 2:8)

Of course, the most famous promise urging us to pray is the one given to Solomon, “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chron.7:14)

The Peacemaking Power of Prayer is an effort to understand the awesome power of united prayer in God’s hands to turn around even the most hopeless situations of war, genocide and human suffering. It describes four international prayer initiatives for the healing of conflicts that resulted in stunning peacebreakthroughs that were completely unexpected and hugely transformative for these nations.

This book in its entirety is being given to you through the attached PDF that you can download. Please have a read and be encouraged that your prayers joined with others can unleash the hand of the One who has all power to heal and deliver the nations!

One fourth of the world's households live in Frontier People Groups - with virtually no contact with believers, and no sign yet of a gospel movement bringing God's promised blessing to their families.

Half of these households live in these 31 largest Frontier People Groups.

This is a Prayer Guide for the 31 – an invitation to the

Body of Christ to Pray for the Harvest.

One of the leaders in our prayer ministry begins his prayers, “Father, we come before you in Jesus’ name . . .” Three words that people traditionally use to conclude their prayers are used at the beginning by this brother. Rightly so. “In Jesus’ name” was never designed to be a tack-on at the end of our superficial requests. Rather, “in Jesus’ name” is a reality that changes why, how, and what we pray, from the very opening moment of our communion with God! According to Jesus one of the keys to answered prayer is praying ‘in his name.’

John 14:13-14, “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.”

John 15:16 (ESV), “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.”

John 16:23-24 He states, “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now, you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”

So what does Jesus mean when he says, “ask in his name?”

I see three primary things.  First it is worship-based prayer focused on the character and renown of Christ. Second, we come on the basis of Christ’s merit. Third, we are authorized to be Christ’s representatives praying with his delegated authority!

Worship-based prayer

Ultimately God will answer prayer when it will magnify his name and his character! As Dr. Randal Roberts writes,

“Praying in Jesus name means to pray in a manner consistent with His values and purposes . . . It is to pray with the glorification of God as the supreme motive; It is to pray as Jesus would pray if He was in our circumstances; It is to pray as His followers who have been appointed as instruments of fruit-bearing in the outworking of His mission . . . It is learning to ask for the good things that He delights to give from the devoted heart that He delights to bless.”

Praying ‘in Jesus name’ means we pray that the reputation of Jesus would be enhanced. Jesus Christ  would be more clearly seen and savored, revealed and revered.  We pray that the name of Jesus would be treated as infinitely valuable here on the earth as it is in heaven!

One major assumption when we pray is this:

There’s always MORE --OF Christ, FROM Christ, and FOR Christ!  As David Bryant shares, the one major GUARANTEE our prayers will be heard and answered is this:  Will the answers to our prayers help...

EXALT Jesus’ NAME?
SPREAD Jesus’ FAME?
EXTEND Jesus’ REIGN?
INCREASE Jesus’ GAIN?
RATIFY Jesus’ CLAIM?

Christ’s Merit

Praying in the name of Jesus is no formality. We approach God in prayer through Jesus because Jesus is the grounds upon which God chooses to hear us. God chooses to hear us because we have loved Jesus and believed that God sent him. God answers those who ask of him on the basis of Jesus and his gospel work. You and I have no claim on God, but Christ does.

He merited the blessing of the Father’s favor by his perfect life of obedience and sacrifice of the cross. Our access depends solely on what Jesus has done! When we pray in Jesus’ name we are asking the Father, ‘grant this request, because your Son the Lord Jesus has earned it!’ May Jesus see the travail of his soul and be satisfied! May the Lamb who was slain receive his due reward. He is All-Deserving! Rev. 5:12

In our praying, it is God’s name that is at stake! Jesus is telling us that His Father always acts in ways that honor his Name!  He would never want the rumor to go out that when someone came asking in the name of his Son, that he was turned away. 

Can you imagine going to God the Father in the name of God the Son and asking for more of the power or joy of the Holy Spirit, and be told to go away?  Jesus says, ‘it is impossible!’  The Father will get up and give you as much of himself as you need and as you desire!  So we pray, God vindicate your name in the nations of the earth!

Authorized as ‘Christ’s representatives’

Third, when we are praying in ‘Jesus name’ we are coming as those who are authorized to act in his place. Since we ‘represent’ him, Jesus authorized us to use his name in prayer. He gave us authority over his accounts. He asked us to exercise control over his estate-the kingdom of God!

We exercise our authority through prayer. By prayer we ask the Father for all we need to get the job done. By prayer we ask God to bind and destroy all demonic strongholds that are contrary to his will! By prayer we ask for justice, making wrong things right!  By prayer we ask God to shatter evil regimes and expose corruption! By prayer we ask him to direct his grace and power for the advance of the gospel in the nations of the earth! To pray in Jesus name and with his authority ultimately means praying according to his will not our own. 

Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords! He has been given the name that is above every other name!  He is the SovereignSonoftheFather,reigningat His righthandforeverandever. All authority in heaven and earth has been given to him and he has asked us to exercise his delegated authority in the place of prayer! He is the triumphant victorovereveryfoe-sin,death, Hades.

He is the Glorious Conqueror! Therefore, we are praying from the victory that he has secured through the cross. He is the Righteous Judgeofpeoples andnations,towhomallmustgiveanaccount. He is the Undeniable and Gracious Rulerofhistory,overseeingits pathandits outcome frombeginningto end! He is the IncomparableKingofa Kingdom thatwillultimately cover the earth as the waters cover the sea! Hab. 2:14

Expect Results!

What happens when we pray in Jesus’ name? What is the ultimate purpose and result? According to Jesus’ multiple commands in this Upper Room Discourse, the outcomes of praying in His name are:

The Father will be glorified in the Son!

We bear fruit that remains!

Our joy is full!

God’s will is done on earth as it is in heaven!

He promised if we prayed in his name, he would do it! Let’s believe it and pray until we see the results!

What a glorious privilege to pray “In Jesus Name!”

"The war level between India and Pakistan is high.  PRAY for peace between the two nuclear countries.   In the last two days tensions have reached a dangerous level. 

It is hard to know what is happening. Each side is, of course, blaming the other. And each side has reason to blame the other one.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Khan is newly in office and talking about trying to get peace with India.  Any time Pakistan talks about peace the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists create trouble in India to try and stop peace talks.

The Prime Minister of India Modi is up for elections and is not doing too well; people are getting fed up with him.  The way a leader gets people behind him is to build up war with the other side.  This has created wars between the two countries in the past.

Positive is when Prime Minister Khan of Pakistan came on national TV and addressed the people of Pakistan and Prime Minister Modi of India.  He said they all need to come to their senses and pull back or the government  would be taken from their hands and given to another (i.e. the military).

President Trump is trying to get peace with North Korea. But most of the news today was about the congressional testimony of lawyer Cohen.  Pakistan and India

were hardly heard of.  It was like the devil was working, hidden underground, while the world was occupied in other things.

A few years ago a very insightful article was written on the “Zero Line” claiming that this was probably the most dangerous borderline in the world. This is the borderline in Kashmir between these two countries.  The article went on to say that these two nuclear countries, in a flash, could go to war, drawing in much of the world.

This situation needs to be covered in PRAYER.

Please pray for peace along what has been called the most dangerous border in the world.
