Over 12,000 Californians Pray, Protest Lockdowns at Capitol Worship Service

The 'Let Us Worship' rally defied the governor's restrictions on religious gatherings.

SACRAMENTO, California, September 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Tens of thousands of Californians descended on the state capitol on Sunday for an outdoor, in-person worship service that doubled as an act of defiance against the state’s efforts to restrict religious assembly.

Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom has banned indoor religious services (along with various types of secular gatherings) in 29 counties representing 80 percent of the state’s population in the name of containing the spread of COVID-19. The latest response to his actions, the “Let Us Worship” rally, attracted more than 12,000 attendees for a day of prayer, music, and public speaking, the Daily Wire reported.

“The fervor to worship God free from government edict and societal persecution drove America’s earliest settlers across oceans and wild frontiers to this beautiful land to create a new nation built on a simple premise that all men are created equal and cannot be denied their inalienable rights to life and liberty,” the event’s organizers said in a statement. “But our freedom to worship God and obey His Word has come under unprecedented attack.”

“It’s time for the Church to rise up with one voice and tell our government leaders and the rulers of big tech that we refuse to be silenced,” they declared.

“We are gonna worship like we’ve never worshiped before, and I declare that after all of this is over tonight, the remnant, the residue of this worship will saturate this ground and seep into that building,” added Republican state Senate Minority Leader Shannon Grove, one of the event’s speakers. “And when it goes into that building, it will touch every heart that enters. God bless you, let us worship!”

We are all not the same people we were 7 months ago. Let's not pretend. We wear the mask. We are not powerful per how much ammo we have in the closet.

And here comes the Testosterone! I am going to SHOOT them ALL! Really? Are you?

The Second Revolution. The only difference is...It’s no longer King George...It’s Cuomo and his likes.

2020. Gods opening eyes to good verses evil. Time to choose. Deep down everyone knows the difference but some love darkness.

God is sifting out the hearts of men.

He clearly has been since obama first got elected.

He keeps making the line clearer and clearer and people can not say at this point that they did not know what they were deciding to support.

Great description of Gavin Newsom - the immoral Governor of California. Multiple affairs with married women, breaking up marriages, including his own and Gavin thinks he gets away with it.

Too bad Kimberly Guilfoyle won’t come out and talk about Gavin’s affair with Kammy Harris in the early 2000’s.

We won’t carry California, but I hope this fires up some pissed off Democrats and independents down in the OC to not vote for the D this year. Maybe the GOP can regain some of those House seats that were “harvested” away in 2018!

And they get on Trump’s case about his moral character.

What hypocrites!

Today tweet:
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
The Democrats will open up their states on November 4th, the day after the Election. These shutdowns are ridiculous, and only being done to hurt the economy prior to the most important election, perhaps, in our history! #MAGA
