House Speaker: Biden Has Transformed into an Anti-Israel President
Mike Johnson accused the president of pandering to the far-left flank of the Democratic party at the expense of US-Israel relations.
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday accused President Joe Biden of turning against Israel to appease the far left flank of the Democratic Party.“Democrats are weak on Israel as well, and it’s their support for Israel. It’s rather stunning to us that there’s this dramatic shift. Hamas is holding more than 130 hostages, as you know, including Americans,” the 52-year-old Republican said at a press conference in Washington.

“These people are languishing at the hands of barbaric terrorists, and Joe Biden is meanwhile giving ultimatums to Israel, not Hamas. And shamefully, since Oct. 7 Joe Biden has transformed into an anti-Israel president,” the congressman continued.Biden is “more concerned with placating the antisemitism in his base than standing with our historic and vitally important ally.”

Johnson also slammed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer  (D-N.Y.) for “meddling in Israel’s elected leadership,” alluding to Schumer’s widely panned speech on the Senate floor last month calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an “obstacle” to peace and suggesting that Israel should hold unscheduled elections.

- Abba, our hearts are broken and angry at the way the Biden regime turned on our ally, Israel.  It is obvious they allowed the pressure from the deep state to change their position of support for your people.  We ask Holy Spirit to move on the hearts of all involved in our military support decisions, let the Fear of the Lord fall on them, let them see what kind of result they can anticipate when they turn away from you, Father God.  Give them dreams that are nightmares, show them how you respond to those who turn on your nation.  

We ask for a supernatural turnaround; reconnect the Biden regime and PM Netanyahu; let their minds and hearts come into a place of trust and unity.  We ask for Your blessings upon Mr, Netanyahu. Give him wisdom, knowledge and understanding of how You want him to proceed.  We ask this in the name El Roi, The God Who Sees, who sees everything.

- "Let all the earth fear the Lord, let all 
         the people of the world revere him."

Iranian Attack on Israel a Matter of When, Not If
According to U.S. and Israeli intelligence, the expected assault “may not necessarily come from Israel’s north.”

Washington and its allies believe a major attack on Israel by Iran is imminent and may be launched in the coming days, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing officials familiar with the intelligence.

According to U.S. and Israeli sources, Iran’s retaliatory attack has become a matter of when, not if, the officials said, warning that the expected assault “may not necessarily come from Israel’s north.”

The Islamic Republic’s response to the killing of an Iranian general in Syria on April 1, which Tehran has blamed on the Jewish state, could involve high-precision missiles being launched at Israel, according to the report.

Israel’s allies have reportedly been told that government and military structures may be targeted but civilian facilities are not expected to be. U.S. officials were said to be helping Israel prepare for the attack.

Jerusalem also informed allies it is waiting for Iran to attack before launching a ground offensive to clear out the remaining 3,000 Hamas terrorists in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, Bloomberg reported. (Israel365News) Read more here.

- Abba, it seems there are constant warnings of military strikes and defensive strikes, if not by Israel or Iran, it's by Yemen and Lebanon.  Father God, we turn our eyes to you for your guidance and direction about how to best live our lives in the midst of these constant threats and this ongoing undercurrent of fear.  

Father God, you know what our tomorrows will look like, you know how all of this will ultimately end.  Use these circumstances to teach us trust, give us vision to see where you are in our everyday lives, and how you are protecting and providing in ways we would not expect.  We ask for miraculous moves of the Holy Spirit to give us hope, to renew our strength, and to give us new perspectives.  We ask for angelic armies to surround your people and land.   We ask this in the name Jehovah Shalom, The Lord Our Peace. Amen.

- "For I know the plans I have for you," 
            declares the Lord, "plant to prosper
       you and not to harm you, plans to give you
           a hope and a future." (
Jeremiah 29:11)

Magog Rising: Israel Warns it Will Bomb Iran Directly if Attacked
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz warned on Tuesday that Israel will respond in kind should Iran launch a direct attack against it.
"If Iran attacks from its territory--Israel will respond and attack in Iran," tweeted Katz. The minister tagged Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the X post.

London-based newspaper Elaph reported on Monday that Israel will strike targets in Iran if the Islamic Republic retaliates for the targeted killing of an Iranian general in Syria on April 1 which Tehran has blamed on Israel. A Western security official told the Arabic-language paper that Israel has conducted secret air force training in recent days, involving long-distance flights and rehearsals of strikes on sensitive sites in Iran that may be tied to that country's nuclear project.

Senior sources in the Iranian regime told Reuters on April 4 that Tehran would provide a "serious response" to the killing of its high-ranking commander, suggesting however that it would seek to avoid a direct clash with Israel and the United States. (Prophecy News Watch) Read more here.
- Abba, we thank you that from this article it would appear Tehran is weighing its options carefully.  We ask that all military decisions be made with that same "counting the cost" perspective.  Father God, You are the TRUE Supreme Leader, we ask you to open and close doors, create roadblocks, release angel armies to hedge in Ali Khamenei as he and his military leaders scheme to "make Israel pay" for the death of Brig. General Zahedi.  We ask you to cover and protect all of Israel and her people, pour out peace and rest on all those in the IDF who are exhausted and worn thin.  Reveal yourself to Your people, strengthen their resolve and continue to build unity of heart, mind and purpose.  We ask this in the name El Gibhor, Mighty God, the God who will accomplish the destruction of his enemies and rule with a rod of iron.

- "He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
            to proclaim freedom for the captives
       and release from darkness for the prisoners,
     to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and
          the day of vengeance of our God,
      to comfort all who mourn."

(Isaiah 61:1b-2)  
FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. PM Netanyahu: Israel preparing for scenarios in other areas than Gaza - Israel Hayom

As the war between Israel and Gaza continues, Israel is also preparing for scenarios in other areas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday, amid concern that Iran was preparing to strike Israel in response to the killing of senior Iranian commanders.

"Whoever harms us, we will harm them. We are prepared to meet all of the security needs of the State of Israel, both defensively and offensively," he said in comments released by his office following a visit to the Tel Nof Air Force Base in southern Israel.

Israel has been bracing for possible Iranian retaliation for the killing of a senior general and six other Iranian officers in an airstrike on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus on April 1. Israel never claimed responsibility for the attack, but Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on Wednesday Israel "must be punished and it shall be" for the attack. (Read more)

2. IDF launches ‘targeted operation’ in central Gaza’s Nuseirat after heavy bombardment - Times of Israel

The IDF said Thursday it launched a “targeted operation” against Hamas in the central Gaza Strip overnight, pushing into an area on the outskirts of the Nuseirat refugee camp largely left untouched by troops until now.

Heavy airstrikes and artillery shelling pounded parts of the camp before troops moved into the area, which sits adjacent to the lone corridor where Israeli soldiers remain in Gaza.

Palestinians said a strike on a residential building killed at least five people, and other apartment towers were also struck. (Read more)

3. Hamas says it does not have 40 Israeli hostages to trade in cease-fire deal - The Hill

Hamas has told negotiators it does not have 40 Israeli hostages that it can release as part of a temporary cease-fire deal with Israel, a source familiar with the talks confirmed to The Hill. 

The admission raises questions over how many of the remaining hostages kidnapped Oct. 7 are alive and who is holding them. Israel says 133 hostages out of more than 240 abducted that day — mostly Israelis and dual nationals — have yet to be released.

The Biden administration is pushing a plan to have Israel and Hamas agree to a six to eight week cease-fire that is contingent on Hamas releasing hostages, a group that includes older men, civilians and both male and female Israeli soldiers who have been held for 187 days. (Read more)

4. US tells staff in Israel not to travel outside cities amid Iran threat - Jerusalem Post

The United States said on Thursday it had restricted its employees in Israel and their family members from personal travel outside the greater Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Be'er Sheva areas amid Iran's threats to retaliate against its regional adversary.

Iran has vowed revenge for the April 1 airstrike on its embassy compound in Damascus, ratcheting up tension in a region already strained by the Gaza war.

"Out of an abundance of caution, U.S. government employees and their family members are restricted from personal travel outside the greater Tel Aviv (including Herzliya, Netanya, and Even Yehuda), Jerusalem, and Be'er Sheva areas until further notice," the US embassy said in a security alert on its website on Thursday. "U.S. government personnel are authorized to transit between these three areas for personal travel." (Read more)

5. Report: Secret Normalization Deal Reached Between Israel and Indonesia - Jewish Press

The world’s largest Muslim-majority nation is set to normalize relations with the Jewish State, according to a report Thursday by the Ynet news outlet.

The deal was reportedly reached after three months of secret talks between Indonesia, Israel and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which the Jakarta government wants to join, and which Israel belongs to.

After weeks of talks, the OECD and Indonesia agreed that Jakarta would have to establish diplomatic ties with Israel prior to the vote to approve its entry to the organization. (Read more)

1. Senior American General to Visit Israel in Light of Looming Iranian Attack – Jpost

As Israel faces growing odds of direct conflict with Iran, Israeli and American officials have coordinated defense capabilities in recent days

The commander of the United States Army’s Central Command, General Michael Erik Kurilla, will arrive in Israel on Thursday for coordination talks on preparing for a possible attack by Iran. 

This visit comes in light of Israel’s alleged strike that killed Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards general Mohammad Reza Zahedi in Damascus last week, Israeli officials said. 

General Kurilla will meet with IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant against the backdrop of the joint preparation of the US and Israel against an Iranian attack using ballistic missiles, drones, and cruise missiles against targets in Israel, which may further escalate the conflict in the region. (Read more)
- Father God, we pray that as our officials at various levels meet with Israeli officials over the new threat of an Iranian attack, that all of them will be supportive of the efforts Israel is led to take to finally conquer this menace to their country.  We pray that our officials will not put pressure on them that would hurt them and that they will be a help in any way possible. 
 
- "Your hand will be lifted up in triumph over your enemies, and all your foes will be destroyed."  (Micah 5:9) 

2. Biden Promises Israel “Ironclad” Support Against Iran, Walks Back Call for Unilateral Ceasefire - ZeroHedge

President Joe Biden has promised "ironclad" support for Israel at a moment US intelligence believes that Iranian reprisals for the April 1st Damascus embassy attack are imminent. The only question that remains is whether it will be a direct attack launched from Iranian soil, or via proxies like Hezbollah.

"As I told Prime Minister Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel’s security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad," Biden said

Wednesday. "Let me say it again — ironclad. We’re going to do all we can to protect Israel’s security." He explained this is in response to Tehran "threatening to launch a significant attack on Israel."

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has vowed swift and strong retaliation: "If Iran attacks from its territory, Israel will respond and attack Iran," he said in a statement on X, echoing prior similar words of Prime Minister Netanyahu.

The US administration has also said it is not ruling out launching joint retaliatory strikes with Israel in a scenario it is attacked by Iran or its proxies, we detailed previously

Also, Biden appeared to walk back a call for Israel to declare a six-to-eight-week ceasefire in Gaza. In an interview given to Univision which aired Tuesday, Biden had said, "So what I’m calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country." (Read more)

- In the Mighty name of Jesus, we come against double-mindedness in this administration that tries to satisfy both sides in a very serious conflict.  You said that You hold the king's heart in Your hands and turn it as You will, so we pray that You will take hold of this leader's heart to make it strong and supportive of Israel in this threat to their existence.  Thank You, Lord, for all the multitudes of people in this country that pray for Israel and their victory.
 
- "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed."  (Genesis 12:3) 

3. FBI Director Chris Wray: Iranian Terrorism on US Soil – Israel365News

The State Department has adhered to the diplomatic option toward Iran, rewarding the Ayatollahs with a financial and diplomatic bonanza, waiving and softening

 economic sanctions. However, FBI Director Chris Wray has concluded that Iran and its Islamic terrorist proxies are set to hit the US mainland. Iran is leveraging its cooperation with US criminal organizations and with Latin American drug cartels in the areas of terrorism, drug trafficking, human trafficking and money laundering.

Addressing cadets at the West Point US Military Academy,  Wray stated: “The ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans inside the US to a whole another level…. Although we cannot discount the possibility of another coordinated 9/11-style attack by a foreign terrorist organization, our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home….”

In his testimony at the House Committee on Homeland Security, Director Wray stated: “As the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, the Iranians [who collaborate with all Latin American drug cartels] have directly, or by hiring criminals, mounted assassination attempts against dissidents and high ranking current and former US officials, including right here on American soil…. Hezbollah, Iran’s primary strategic partner, has tried to seed operatives, establish infrastructure and engage in spying here domestically… planning future operations in the US…. (Read more)

Lord Jesus, it is chilling to hear the FBI director speak of the threat of war in the Middle East spilling over into our country, but we are glad that this agency is aware of what could happen.  We decree and declare that no weapon formed against the US will prosper in the hands of Iranian inspired and funded individuals.  We decree, also, that these plots will be uncovered and neutralized so that no harm comes to the American public.  We pray for a dissolution of all evil alliances that would come together to destroy our infrastructure, food supply, other supplies, or disrupt everyday life in our country.  Father, cover us with Your angelic protection and help us be thankful to You for all You do for our country.
 
- "Our help is in the name of the Lord, Maker of  heaven and  earth."  (Psalms 124:8)  

4. I Cannot Afford to Live: Americans Get Emotional as the US Economy Goes Off the Rails – The EconomicCollapse Blog

As we approach what is likely to be the most chaotic presidential election in U.S. history, trouble signs are starting to erupt for the U.S. economy.  In fact, CNN is actually admitting that “the long-predicted storm clouds in the economy may actually be forming”.  I can’t remember the last time that I saw a CNN article with a headline like that.  But at this point, it is becoming extremely difficult for the mainstream media to avoid the truth.  Inflation is getting worse at the same time that many key sectors of our economy are slowing down.  If you thought that the last couple of years were rough for the economy, just wait until you see what is coming next.  Tremendous turmoil is on the horizon, and the American people are becoming increasingly emotional about our rapidly growing economic problems.

On Wednesday, we learned that prices jumped even more than expected during the month of March…Inflation jumped in March as prices for consumer staples such as gasoline edged higher and those for housing remained stubbornly high, suggesting inflation may be a bit stickier than it seemed just a few months ago, economists said. The consumer price index, a key inflation gauge, rose 3.5% in March from a year ago, the U.S. Labor Department reported Wednesday. That’s up from 3.2% in February.

Lots of pundits on television are telling us that this is really bad news for Joe Biden.

Let’s be honest with ourselves.The truth is that we are in the midst of the worst inflation crisis that any of us have ever seen. (Read more)

- Jehovah Jireh, We need your help. Americans all over our county are having a hard time with inflation. Higher prices on everything we need and purchase are skyrocketing. We need some relief. Please come to our rescue and help our economy improve and thrive again. In Jesus mighty name we offer this prayer, in repentance. Amen and Amen.

- "So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones" Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them." (Genesis 50:21)  

5. Countering the Threats to Evangelical Support of Israel – Israel365 News

Anti-Semitism is rearing its ugly head again and Christians must understand how dangerous this is, not only for the Jews, but for all of Western civilization. We expect anti-Semitism and anti- Zionism from the mainline denominations, but we don’t expect it from Evangelicals because, after all, Evangelicals usually read the Bible and know what it says about Israel and the Jewish people. However, Evangelical support for Israel can no longer be taken for granted.

In 1938, Hitler gave everyone in Germany a radio, and then he began his diatribes. Harry Truman understood the impact of the media and he believed that if he could just broadcast the simple unvarnished truth on Radio Free Europe, he could educate the masses. He was successful.

As we look around the globe, we are confounded by events in the Middle East, in Europe, and even now in the United States. We live in a challenging and sober time in human history. Many of us believe we’re coming to the climax of that history.

If we look closely, we see a biblical warning that in the latter days, even the elect will be deceived. We have been warned that we must keep our doctrine sound and pure. As II Timothy 3:1 says, “In the last days difficult times will come. And many will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths.”

Jesus warned his disciples of the deception in the last days, in Matthew 24, when he said, “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.”

Is this happening today in the Evangelical Church? I would say that it is, and the trend is alarming, to say the least.  Read more. 

- Lord of All, Your remnant church—wherever it may be found—will pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They will love Your land and Your people and believe that Your word is Truth.

We stand in the gap and intercede for those who believe in Replacement Theology or worse. Take the scales off of their eyes; may they desire truth and allow Holy Spirit to impart it to them as they develop a thirst for Your word. We especially pray for Evangelicals to hold the line and not be deceived—may they be carriers of Truth, not falsehood.

We pray for non- Christians who actively seek to persecute Jewish people and bring harm and destruction to lives and property. Lord, they are so lost; but the Good Shepherd can find them. Appear to them in supernatural ways, and may they bump into the truth every time they turn around. We see and hear the actions and words of some immigrants to the U.S. and other nations that stir up strife against Your people and incite others who also possess a spirit of anti-Semitism. We are so sorry, Abba, forgive and change us all with Your truth, justice and love.

At this time in history, we pray for angelic hosts to protect Your land and Your people, wherever they live. Bring them back to Israel as You desire. May they come to know Yeshua Hamashiach, the Messiah whom they have been seeking!

Woe to anyone that subscribes to anti-semitism and actively persecutes any of Your Chosen People in any manner. We pray for comfort and healing from Abba for His children that have been wounded; for Holocaust survivors and their descendants; or for those who live in fear of attack of one kind or another. Shield them, Abba. Surely, goodness and mercy will be their companions.

We plead with You, Abba, that You would cause the U.S. to continue to honor our friendship and commitment to the nation of Israel, especially as they face war and terror looming on each of her borders. We watch for Your wonder-working power as You glorify Your name and honor Your covenant with Your precious people!

 - ‘Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; those who plunder you shall become plunder, and all who prey upon you I will make a prey.  For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord, ‘Because they called you an outcast saying:  “This is Zion; no one seeks her.” ’  (Jeremiah 30:16-17)  

6. Biden’s Climate Agenda Dealt Blow as Senate Rejects Car Emissions Rules - Steadfast Loyalty

In a significant political development, the U.S. Senate recently cast a vote to overturn a series of climate regulations introduced by the Biden administration. These regulations mandated states to track and aim for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from highway vehicles. The reversal was decided by a vote of 53-47, demonstrating bipartisan agreement, with Senators Kyrsten Sinema (Independent from Arizona), Sherrod Brown (Democrat from Ohio), Jon Tester (Democrat from Montana), and Joe Manchin (Democrat from West Virginia) joining forces with Republicans in support of the measure.

Spearheaded by Senators Kevin Cramer (Republican from North Dakota), Shelley Moore Capito (Republican from West Virginia), and Joe Manchin, the legislation is a direct response to what they consider an overstepping of boundaries by federal authorities into state jurisdictions.

This move by the Senate to reject the resolution presents a formidable obstacle to the Biden administration’s climate strategy, highlighting the tension between federal climate ambitions and state sovereignty. The legislation now heads to the House, where its future remains uncertain. Nonetheless, the White House has indicated that President Biden would veto the bill if it were to be approved. (Read more)

7. EXECUTIVE ORDER 13912, Donald Trump Federalizes The National Guard and Reserves to Active Duty! - AMG News

President Donald Trump has issued Executive Order 13912, mobilizing the National Guard and Reserves to active duty. This bold move comes amidst a flurry of executive actions aimed at uprooting corruption and restoring sovereignty. As the nation braces for upheaval, Trump’s administration takes decisive steps to confront internal and external threats, signaling a new chapter in American governance.

With Executive Order 13912, Trump asserts his authority and consolidates control over national security. By federalizing the National Guard and Reserves, he ensures a unified response to emerging threats, both at home and abroad. This strategic deployment underscores Trump’s commitment to safeguarding the nation’s interests and maintaining stability in turbulent times. It’s a calculated maneuver that sends a clear message: the administration will not hesitate to wield its power to protect the American people. (Read more)

- We thank You, O Lord, for this bold move that our former president has taken to protect the American people. May we each heed the orders given by these troops, if and when the
time comes for them to be deployed on our streets. Amen.

8. Wray: China’s Hackers Outnumber FBI 50 to 1 - Epoch Times

Communist China operates the world’s largest hacking network, and its malign cyber actors outnumber all the cyber experts of the FBI by a staggering margin, Congress has heard.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified on April 11 that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which rules China as a single-party state, was “sparing no expense in its attempt to hack, lie, cheat, and steal its way to the top as a global superpower.”

The U.S. intelligence community, he said, was ill-prepared to deal with the threat and lacked the professional staff to counter it. (Read more) 

- Father God, we ask You to grant Your wisdom to those in authority, that they find ways to undo the damage done by these Chinese hackers, and prevent more damage in the future. Amen.

- "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5)

GAO: Biden Admin Made $764+ Billion In Improper Payments

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, April 11, 2024

The Government Accounting Office (GAO) reported March 26 that the Biden Administration has made over $764 BILLION in IMPROPER PAYMENTS—your tax dollars that should not have been paid to somebody and it is unknown where much of the money went. GAO said, “In FY 2023 alone, federal agencies made $236 billion in improper payments.” This amount does not include Department of Health and Human Services’ Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, admittedly “a program that is susceptible to significant improper payments.” GAO said the government-wide estimate potentially does not represent the full extent of improper payments.”

The report said, “For fiscal year 2023, 14 agencies reported a total estimated $236 billion in improper payments across 71 programs. Agencies reported that about $175 billion (over 74 percent) of this total was the result of overpayments. About $186 billion (approximately 79 percent) was concentrated in five program areas. However, the $236 billion total does not include certain programs that agencies have determined are susceptible to significant improper payments, such as the Department of Health and Human Services’ Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.” Read More

Almost Everyone Missed One of the Main Points of the Eclipse
I believe that this eclipse was a sign and a warning.  In particular, the fact that the Great American Eclipse of 2024 completed the giant “X” over the New Madrid fault zone that the Great American Eclipse of 2017 started is such an obvious warning that I can’t believe that almost everyone is ignoring it.  That giant “X” over the New Madrid fault zone was literally one of the main points of the eclipse, but so few people are talking about it.

But of course there was no mention of the giant “X” over America that was being finished by the Great American Eclipse of 2024.

I am sure that the other major networks also chose to ignore the obvious. But somebody out there has certainly been trying to draw attention to what the eclipse on 4/8 really meant. On Friday, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake rattled New York City on the exact same day that an earthquake at a depth of precisely 4.8 miles shook the New Madrid fault zone …

The New Madrid Seismic Zone started rocking early Friday morning. The U.S. Geological Survey recorded a magnitude 2.1 earthquake at 12:17 a.m. April 5. The tremor was centered along the Mississippi River in Lake County, Tennessee, about 3 miles northeast of Caruthersville and 26.5 miles northeast of Blytheville. The USGS said it had a depth of 7 kilometers (4.8 miles).

Just another coincidence, eh?

That quake was part of a mini-swarm of 5 earthquakes that hit the New Madrid fault zone that day…

I am not a scientist and I’m not saying that eclipses and earthquakes are related, but I do find it interesting that a mini-swarm of 5 quakes has just hit the New Madrid, Missouri area just days before Monday’s historic total solar eclipse that will cross that region. 
The USGS has confirmed there are at least 5 New Madrid, Missouri quakes as of this writing. 2 happened early Friday morning and there may be more now, but 5 is the total as of this writing.

What we are witnessing right now are warnings. Someday there will be an apocalyptic earthquake along the New Madrid fault zone that will permanently alter the geography of the United States.

But it isn’t time for that yet. The dividing of the land of Israel comes first, and this is something that the Biden administration seems absolutely determined to accomplish.

- Morning Star, we were delighted at the eclipse we saw on Monday. Your heavens declare your awesome works and your glory. Thank you for your signs and your warnings to us. We need to repent as a nation and put you first in our county and in our personal lives.We heard about the shaking of the earthquake in New York and also the earthquakes in various places along the New Madrid fault line. Also the Biden administration is determined to recognise Palestine as a state. Lord we know that it will not be possible for Israel to live in peace if this occurs. We pray for peace in Jerusalem and find a way to help the Palestians to live in peace with the Israelites. In Jesus mighty name. Amen and Amen.

Government Agencies Illegally Soliciting and Potentially Entrapping Non-Citizens to Register to Vote
Government Agencies are illegally soliciting non-citizens to vote and potentially entrapping them.  Government workers who perform these acts are committing felonies.

Joe Hoft previously reported on how Illegals are being registered to vote in Florida.  This is likely the case in many other states.

The path non-citizens who cross our border illegally take to get on voter rolls in Florida is as follows.  There are some loopholes and practices that allow this to happen:

1. Cross the US border illegally

2. Get arrested and get immigration court or asylum application paperwork

3. Use immigration court or asylum application paperwork to get a Florida driver’s license, state ID (per s 322.08), or a social security number

4.  Sign up for Florida food or medical assistance using the same immigration court or asylum paperwork.

5.    An illegal will then receive a solicitation to register to vote in the mail from the government because they signed up for assistance. Just fill out and mail in the voter registration application provided with the solicitation letter (per interpretation of s 97.058). A solicitation letter from The Department of Children and Family Services to a person that appears to be a non-citizen based on a public records search is attached. The Spanish version is what was mailed.

6.  Register to vote using your driver license or social security number.  If you have neither, just check the box for no ID.  No one checks to see if you are a citizen.  They just check to see you checked the box on the application saying you are a citizen (per interpretation of s 98.045).

7.  Vote.  If you get caught plead plausible deniability or entrapment because you were solicited by the government to register to vote.

- Lord God, this is so wrong. Please close these loopholes that will provide a way for illegal immigrants to vote in our elections. Make a way for this injustice to be stopped in its tracks. We plead the blood of Jesus over our election system. We are not a third world country even though it seems we are headed in that direction. Make a way for America to have a fair and honest election. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen and Amen.

House Judiciary Committee Holds Hearing on “Fighting for a Free Press: Protecting Journalists and Their Sources”  
The House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government is currently hosting a hearing on freedom of the press and protecting journalists, as the Biden Regime attempts to infringe on the rights of the press and shape news stories to fit their narrative. 
Rep Chip Roy opened the hearing at 9:30 am ET, remarking, “Today’s hearing is about defending our fundamental liberty and protecting journalists and their sources from these attacks. We will examine the federal government’s infringement on the freedom of the press and examine the prospects for federal shield law.”

Witnesses include investigative journalists Catherine Herridge and Sharyl Attkisson and Chief Broadcast Officer at SAG-AFTRA News & Broadcast Department Mary Cavallaro.

Recall that last month, Catherine Herridge, an Emmy-winning and nominated reporter known for her work on national security and intelligence, was held in civil contempt by an Obama-appointed federal judge for her refusal to unmask her confidential sources related to a blockbuster story on how there is infiltration from China in US universities.

The judge ordered Herridge to turn over her source(s) in response to a lawsuit that was filed by Chinese-American scientist Yanping Chen against the FBI. Chen subpoenaed Herridge in an effort to find out who her sources were. When Herridge refused, she was threatened with contempt charges and potential jail time. (The Gateway Pundit) Read more here.

- Father God, we declare that no weapon formed against Catherine Herridge, investigative journalist, will succeed, in Yeshua’s name! Thank You that the House Judiciary Sub-Committee is taking on the feds’ infringement of the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of the press. May the fruit of this hearing encourage protection of journalists as well as their sources! A free press is central to discerning the truth of a matter and not succumbing to lies and manipulation from a tainted government wanting total power and control.

Thank You for Ms. Herridge’s blockbuster story on the Chinese infiltration of US universities. Help us to be rid of the false narrative brought in by the Chinese government in an attempt to corrupt our children and way of life. Wrest Communist China from our nation as they attempt to quietly creep in and take over. Father, may You also protect and bless the millions of our Chinese citizens who have no desire to bring harm.

And Now . . . Lion of Judah: ROAR!!!!
"The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man;
He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
He shall prevail against His enemies."

ULA Delta IV Heavy lifts off for final time

April 9 (UPI) -- For the final time, a Delta IV Heavy rocket roared skyward from Florida on Tuesday.

The United Launch Alliance oversaw the final deployment of the Delta IV Heavy as it lifted a National Reconnaissance Office satellite into space on a national security mission.

The rocket lifted off at Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after its scheduled 12:53 p.m. EDT liftoff.

This mission is one that originally was scrubbed on March 28.

"This is the final Delta IV Heavy as United Launch Alliance transitions its future missions from the East and West coast to our new Vulcan rocket," ULA said in a statement on its website before the launch. "The NRO develops and operates the world's most capable and innovative overhead reconnaissance systems to collect intelligence for U.S. national security and to support disaster relief and humanitarian efforts."

The Good News Corner
Calling Pro-Life Movement to Foster and Adopt
The pro-life community can be the answer for thousands of children in need of loving foster parents or adoptive families, according to Prestonwood Baptist Church Associate Pastor Jeremiah Johnston. “We have 400,000 children in foster care nationally,” Johnston says, adding that “about 100,000 of those 400,000 are available for adoption and just waiting for a ‘forever family’ right now. 

The need is huge,” the pastor tells “The Daily Signal Podcast.” That’s why Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, on April 13 is hosting the “Chosen” conference, a daylong event to educate Christians and the pro-life community on the need for good foster and adoptive parents. Johnston joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share how people across the U.S. can participate—either in person or remotely—in the event, which is drawing keynote speakers ranging from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to “Duck Dynasty” star Sadie Robertson Huff.  (Listen to Podcast Here)

- Father, we are grateful for the "Chosen" conference bringing an awareness to believers for the dire need to foster and adopt children in search of a 'forever home'. May participants be blessed in all the efforts of obedience to Your sacred Call. We ask for Your protection over all these children waiting for adoption and pray they would come to know You as Abba Father, their heavenly daddy, who loves them beyond measure!  In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ-Amen
