Strategic Focus for Wednesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES
Florida a “FORERUNNER” in Banning “Sanctuary Cities”
“But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble.
And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them,
because they trust in Him.”
Psalm 37:39-40
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made “sanctuary cities” a key talking point from the start of his gubernatorial campaign through the day he was sworn into office. Now, after months of being embroiled in emotional testimony, protests, controversy and national news coverage, a bill to ban “sanctuary cities” in Florida passed 22-18 in the FL Senate on Friday, with only one Republican voting against the bill. The vote came after two days of impassioned floor debate by Democrats and Republicans alike, telling personal stories of their own family’s journey to the US or sharing stories of their constituents, speaking in front of a full Senate gallery.
Last Wednesday, the Florida House passed its version of the measure by 69-47 and now, the Senate version will be sent to the House so that the differences in their two versions (particularly on the tougher stance on penalties taken by the House) can be “ironed out”!
The finished bill will require local law enforcement agencies to work with federal immigration authorities in identifying those who have entered our country without legal status, and make it against the law for Florida’s police departments to refuse to cooperate with federal immigration officials. Governor DeSantis is fully expected to sign off on the measure when it reaches his desk!
We pray:
- For those who have rebelliously refused to honor and observe our laws, and in doing so, exposed our most vulnerable citizens to extreme danger, resulting in numerous assaults, thefts, and loss of life!
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell forevermore. For the Lord loves justice,
and does not forsake His saints; they are preserved forever, but the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever.
Psalm 37:27-29
The Senate bill reads: “The Governor may initiate judicial proceedings in the name of the State against such officers to enforce compliance.” The House version of the bill, passed by a 69-47 vote last Wednesday, adds that non- complying officials could be suspended or removed from office and face fines of up to $5,000 per day.
The bill creates rules re: the immigration enforcement by prohibiting “sanctuary” policies and requiring state and local law enforcement to comply with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Under this bill, local law enforcement would be required to honor federal law enforcement’s formal request for an “immigration detainer,” which plays a key role in the exchange. Immigration detainers are used by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, when the agency identifies potentially deportable individuals who are held in jails or prisons nationwide. A “request” is made to detain a person for up to 48 business hours beyond the time they otherwise would have been released…based on the belief that there is “probable cause” that the person is a “removable alien” under federal immigration law. This bill would make that “request” a requirement.
We pray:
For a holy conviction to come upon those law enforcement officials who have refused to honor these immigration detainers and to cooperate with our federal officials, to remove those who have violated our immigration laws and threatened and harmed our people!
“The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
The Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming.”
Psalm 37:12-13
Although Florida doesn’t have sanctuary cities like the ones in California, a handful of Florida municipalities, including the cities of Orlando and West Palm Beach, are acting as “pseudo-sanctuary” cities, because they prevent law enforcement officials from asking about immigration status when they make arrests.
Florida Republican Representative Blaise Ingoglia said: “There are still people here in the state of Florida, police chiefs that are just refusing to contact ICE, refusing to detain somebody that they know is here illegally. So while the actual county municipality doesn’t have an actual adopted policy, they still have people in power within their sheriff’s department or police department that refuse to do it anyway.”
Florida is part of a recent trend of states enacting these policies. Ten states — Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas — already have enacted state laws requiring law enforcement to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Republicans in Michigan, Montana and North Carolina are also advancing similar laws!
We pray:
- In gratitude for those states’ legislators who have had the courage to stand up and be counted, proposing legislation to stem the tide of unrighteousness, for the good of each state and our nation!
“For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.”
Psalm 37:9
This critical initiative has its liberal detractors. When you see who’s against it, you get a much clearer picture of WHY IT’s NECESSARY!
- The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) issued a statement warning illegal aliens against traveling to Florida if the legislation becomes law.
- Florida’s Democratic Party has blasted the anti-sanctuary measures after they failed in attempts to weaken the bill or create exceptions. After the House passed their version of the bill last Wednesday, the Democrats attacked those who supported the bill, saying: “House Republicans today sold out their communities to Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis by passing this xenophobic and discriminatory bill. It’s abhorrent that Republican members who represent immigrant communities are now turning their backs on their constituents and jeopardizing their safety. Florida has long stood as a beacon for immigrant communities — and today Republicans did the best they could to destroy that reputation.”
- A spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Police Department (which is heavily Democrat) said it should be up to federal authorities to handle immigration-related matters.
We pray:
- That God would expose and deal with each of these groups, who stand against His purposes for our nation! Remove and replace those who rebel from every level of law enforcement and government!
“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.”
Psalm 37:7

Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for the Congress of the United States: Senate and House of Representatives
We continue to pray for the cleansing and purification of the US Congress.
We pray:
- That You will remove, Lord, those who have shown themselves to have no allegiance to our Constitution and are actually “enemies of the State: …Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Maxine Waters and Jerry Nadler in the US House, and Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in the US Senate.
“Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.”
Psalm 37:1-2
