In this season, all of us witnessed a push against the family unit. The constant barrage of groups trying to tear us apart have left many with painful experiences. But we have the Father in Heaven, in whom we can seek for restoration. For the rest of November through the New Year, will you take the challenge to lift up in prayer the issues families face in these difficult days? The True Family of Jesus. As Jesus was speaking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and they want to speak to you.” Jesus asked, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” Then he pointed to his disciples and said, “Look, these are my mother and brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!” -- Matthew 12:46-50 NLT TOPICS: We will cover topics like communication, forgiveness, financial hardships, social media's interruptions, healthy marriages, holiday stresses and much more. We will intercede for the different types of family relationships: parenting, childlessness, adoption, foster children/parents, stepfamilies, grandparents, cousins, aunts/uncles and singles. Other concepts we will address include prodigals, sharing our faith with family and extended family, being a good model of Jesus, open hearts/minds to the Gospel, and how to do spiritual warfare for them. As part of the FOREVER FAMILY, let's storm the gates of heaven with our petitions and see revival occur in families throughout our county.

San Manuel Reservation Web Site Prayer Podcast 5/30/22 | for the officials Location: Maara’yam (Serrano) ancestral territory covers present-day Antelope Valley on the west, southwest Mojave Desert to the north, portions of San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains in the center, the Inland Empire north of the city of Riverside to the south, and the city of Twentynine Palms to the east. They believe "As the the Yuhaaviatam clan of Maara’yam from Big Bear Valley, Krukat our Creator gave us the responsibility to steward all of Serrano ancestral territory." Demographics: The people in the San Manuel Reservation are the indigenous people of the San Bernardino highlands, passes, valleys, and mountains. San Manuel Band of Mission Indians has 50 employees. 51% are women, while 49% men; White (44%), followed by Hispanic or Latino (39%) and Black or African American (6%). Employees at San Manuel Band of Mission Indians stay with the company for 5.2 years; makes $38,136 per year. To preserve their culture: they speak & teach the Serrano language [native tongue]; native music sung with gourd rattles for percussion; teach bird singing; basket weaving; plant gathering; gaming such as Peon with bone/wood & annual pow wow. History High in the San Bernardino Mountains at Yuhaaviat, an area of pine trees near present day Big Bear Lake, Kü̱ktac our Creator laid dying. When Kü̱ktac died, the people began to mourn and their grief turned into pine trees, which enriched the land with vegetation and animals, allowing future generations to thrive. The people who lived at Yuhaaviat were known as the Yuhaaviatam, or “People of the Pines”, and were a clan of Maara’yam (Serrano) people. Our people, now known as the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, are the Yuhaaviatam clan of Maara’yam (Serrano) and continue the tradition of holding sacred the land and everything it provides. The first Spanish explorers of the area identified our ancestors as the “Serrano” people, the Spanish term for “highlander.” Many terms have been used in many languages to describe our people. We use the word Maara’yam, the People of Maara’, to describe all peoples known today as Serrano. The name Yuhaaviatam, or People of the Pines, refers to the Serrano clan of our progenitor, Santos Manuel. As a result of colonization, our Tribe is modernly known as the “San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.” The name “San Manuel” comes from a Yuhaaviatam leader known by his Spanish name, “Santos Manuel”. The term “Mission Indians” originated from the 21 missions established by Spanish settlers along California’s coast between 1769 and 1823, from San Diego to Sonoma. During the 1700s, the California Mission System was established, leading to the murder of thousands of indigenous people. Those that survived long enough to be absorbed into the Missions were forced to give up their traditions in favor of western ways of life. Many of our people, the Maara’yam (Serrano), were taken from the Antelope Valley, Mojave River region, and even the Inland Empire, and placed at the San Gabriel Mission, established in 1771. Mission records report contact with clans at the villages of Guachama and Yukaipa’t, and the subsequent baptisms of those Maara’yam (Serrano) people at Mission San Gabriel in 1776. In 1775, the Missions established new rancho outposts, or estancias, across the region, increasing their influence by creating a system or chain of structures that would become essential in their communities. An estancia in Redlands, modernly known as the Asistencia, was established in 1819. This outpost held many Maara’yam (Serrano) people as well as other indigenous people from nearby regions, using them as labor for mission support. One notable feat was the building of the Mill Creek Zanja, a massive irrigation system that extends from the base of the San Bernardino Mountains through Mentone, Redlands, and Loma Linda. This feature supported agriculture across the region and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places with the notation that it was built by Serrano men. In addition to the Mission system and the agricultural industry, opportunities related to mining and the Gold Rush drastically changed California, bringing in new settlers who created ranches, farms, mines, and logging camps. Not only did these newcomers want to establish ownership over the land, they also wanted to use it without obstruction. As a result, indigenous people who remained on their ancestral lands were viewed as a nuisance and were often the victim of harsh treatment and violence. One such group of people was our clan, the Yuhaaviatam ("People of the Pines”) of Maara’yam (Serrano) people, who had remained in our homelands across the Big Bear Valley. In 1866, as anti-Native American sentiment ran high, a skirmish between settlers and non-Maara’yam (Serrano) Native Americans in the Summit Valley triggered a month-long killing spree of our peoples across the Big Bear area by a San Bernardino militia. Our Kiika’, (Tribal Leader) Santos Manuel, led the remaining Yuhaaviatam - numbering only 20-30 people - away from our mountainous homelands into the San Bernardino Valley. Over the next few decades, our people ventured through the valley along Warm Creek, running into unwelcome settlers who reacted harshly to our presence. We first settled near what is now the National Orange Show Event Center, moved on to Meadowbrook Park, and then made our way to the Harlem Springs area before being completely removed and placed on the San Manuel Reservation in 1891. The Act of Relief for Mission Indians was passed in 1891, which recognized the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians’ inherent rights to self-govern as a sovereign nation, as bestowed upon them by the Creator. Following the establishment of the Reservation, the federal government would continue to make decisions on our behalf, dictating what we could and could not do as an independent nation. Our Tribe fought to rebuild our community in a way that remained true to our culture and tradition, as well as honored the gift and responsibility bestowed upon us by our Creator. In the 1960s and 70s, nationwide protests strengthened relations between Native Americans and the federal government. Following a message by President Richard Nixon recommending a policy of self-determination for Indian Tribes in 1970, the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act was signed into law in 1975 allowing San Manuel and all federally recognized tribes to finally exercise our retained inherent right to self-governance. The introduction of Tribal Government gaming on the Reservation in the mid-1980s brought about a more secure economy and enabled our Tribe to rebuild its governance capacity. With our government-recognized independence intact and our future in mind, we began to explore opportunities for new businesses both on and off the Reservation. The Tribe operates Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel and is one of the largest employers in the Inland Empire area. "People of the pines; Sovereignty, a gift from our Creator, sovereignty is our inherent right to self-government, to be vigilantly protected, and paves the road for creating a vibrant, self-sustaining Tribal community." Motto: “Committed to providing our Tribe and community a better quality of life."

Intercessors for America Prayer Guide | Overturn of Roe V Wade Prayer Guide IFA The Case: Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization Question to Court: Whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional? On December 1st, arguments were heard on this case in the Supreme Court by Scott G. Stewart representing the petitioner. The case questions the constitutionality of a Mississippi state law prohibiting abortions after the fifteenth week of pregnancy except in cases of medical emergencies or fetal abnormalities, and the Supreme Court's decisions in Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). In 2018, Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a clinic and abortion facility in Mississippi, challenged the constitutionality of the "Gestational Age Act" in federal court. The law, enacted March 19, 2018, prohibited abortions after the fifteenth week of pregnancy except in cases of medical emergencies or fetal abnormalities. The U.S. district court granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, holding that the law was unconstitutional, and put a permanent stop to the law's enforcement. On appeal, the 5th Circuit affirmed the district court's ruling.

Updates on Ukraine 3/17/22 Purim & Ukraine specific points to pray - Generals International Prayer Guide for Ukraine - Intercessors for America 5 Ways to Pray for Christians in Ukraine - Open Doors Prayer Tip #1 - Focus on one issue Think of yourself standing in a circle around Ukraine. Based on your position, visibility and emotional connection, you will be drawn to a specific area that needs prayer. We make up a wall of prayer and tend to see more answers to our prayers when united & focused. Areas to consider: the Ukrainian soldiers, the leaders of the countries (mayors, president, etc.), the ministers, the refugees, those resourcing the needed supplies from neighboring countries, the weak [orphans, widows, hospitalized, sick, injured], brokenhearted, separated families, major players in decision making; the evil and godly spirits behind it; salvation of souls [laborers, boldness, openness]; people in the country repent & turn to God for their help [not an exhaustive list; help you brainstorm; what is God tugging on your heart?}. Prayer Tip #2 - Focus on God's perspective Begin with thanksgiving and praise. Many miracles have happened since this invasion began. Get your mind elevated to a higher view. Focusing on all the negative makes it difficult to have faith that God can change things. Recall how God has done the impossible in the past; remind Him and acknowledge the beauty of His holiness, power and might. "Give thanks to the Lord for His love endures forever. [2 Chron. 20:21" Prayer Tip #3 - Focus on mercy In the Lord's prayer we learn to say forgive us our sins AS we forgive those who've sinned against us. Mercy is the foundation of our reconciled relationship with our Heavenly Father. If you have any offense at anyone involved in this battle, forgive. This will help you hear how to pray more effectively. Prayer Tip #4 - Focus on strategies Use God's word to find out how to pray. Use the resources to help you pray. Use worship to build your faith in God's ability to answer your prayers. Use the armor of God to prepare: include tunic of humility; belt of truth; breastplate of righteousness; shoes of the Gospel of peace; shield of faith; helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. Prayer Tip #5 - Focus on breakthrough Let's face it, we want to see answers, but often do not because we give up. Jesus said if we ask it will be given unto us with faith believing He will. Keep praying until you are confident the Lord heard and will answer your prayer because it is what He wants. 1 John 5:14-15 In solidarity & unity Stay focused. Use the resources. Pray UNTIL.
