PRAY WITH US about free speech costs, that God will:
- Oversee the October elections in Brazil. Ensure that people have freedom to express themselves legally and honestly. And that those who express His truth and justice will win and set more people free.
- Convict unjust judges of their injustice so they will change their ways. But if they don’t change soon enough, let their places be changed in favor of just judges. And undo their injustices in ways that work to the good of Brazilians.
- Keep moving movers and shakers like Elon Musk not only to the truth, but to the Source of Truth. For everyone that can be shaken, will be shaken, for God’s purposes. Let then see the truth of the gospel in the light of Christ. And let Jesus arise on all social media platforms, to shine His light to the ends of the earth.
