33 Planned Parenthood Abortion Centers Have Closed This Year
|
|
|
So far this year, the Planned Parenthood abortion business has closed 33 centers. Despite what the abortion giant and the media would have Americans think, they all participated in abortions. Some would kill babies directly with surgical abortions. Others would kill babies by selling the dangerous abortion pill that also kills and injures women. Still others would make abortion referrals – with Planned Parenthood locations in pro-life states arranging abortions in other states or using telehealth to sell abortion pills to women in violation of state pro-life laws.
The closures don’t mean that every baby the Planned Parenthood center would have killed will be saved. The abortion business is desperate for cash from killing babies – so it will make every effort to sell women abortions over the phone or Internet. But for some babies and some women, lives will be spared because a physical Planned Parenthood location is not available. And for Shawn Carney of 40 Days for Life, that’s a reason to celebrate. “Just in the last few days, we’ve received confirmation that Planned Parenthood centers are closing following 40 Days for Life vigils in: Hamilton, Ohio–in spite of the state enshrining a right to abortion in its constitution; Evansville, Indiana; Santa Cruz, Gilroy, and San Mateo, California; Houston and my hometown of Tyler, Texas,” he explained. “Certainly, the defunding of Planned Parenthood played a role–but there’s rarely just one reason an abortion business closes its doors,” Carney added. That’s prayer. And the in-person witness of pro-life Americans outside abortion centers who are saving babies and helping women find better alternatives. (Life News) Read More Here |

- Abba, we REJOICE over every life that is being saved through the closing of 33 Planned Parenthood centers so far this year! We lift praise for our current administration defunding abortion centers and for answered prayer in the provision of Pro-Life Centers to assist mothers in need. May favor fall upon each intercessor who has prayed outside Planned Parenthood locations, joined the '40 days for Life' vigils or 'March for Life' events. We pray Your abundant blessings upon each saved baby and declare they will grow to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, serving Him all the days of their life! In the powerful Name of Yeshua we pray-Amen and Amen.

Trump Threatens Canada on Trade Deal After Carney Moves to Recognize Palestine
|
|
Donald Trump has threatened Canada after it moved to recognise a Palestinian state,
reacting to Mark Carney’s announcement by saying that signing a US trade deal would now be “very hard”.
The Canadian prime minister said on Wednesday that if the Palestinian Authority promised
to meet certain conditions, including demilitarising and holding elections without Hamas,
Canada would join France, the UK and other allies in formally recognising a state of
Palestine at the UN general assembly in New York in September.
Portugal said on Thursday it was also considering recognition, and Germany said such a
move should come at the end of talks on a two-state solution.
Trump, who had appeared to give tacit approval to the UK prime minster, Keir Starmer, for
Britain’s own declaration earlier in the week, has since reacted to the growing movement
toward recognising Palestine by doubling down on his support of Israel’s position, saying
that doing so “rewards Hamas”. (The Guardian) Read more

- Abba, it seems as if the leaders of these countries have totally forgotten WHY Israel is refusing to allow a two-state solution. It's as if Oct. 2 just never happened. We ask Holy Spirit to intervene with each of these heads of state, give them Your vision of Israel and Hamas, allow them to see with Your eyes the truth of hearts on both sides of this war. Lord God, we ask that Your truth be revealed concerning the realities of life in Gaza, open all of our eyes to see as You see, bring this war to an end as You intend for it to end. We ask this in the name Jehovah Shalom, The Lord Our Peace.
- "Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it."

US Takes "Massive Action", Sanctions 115 People, Entities who Smuggle Oil for Iran
|
|
The vast network, which the son of a top Iranian adviser runs, “highlights how the Iranian
regime elites leverage their positions to accrue massive wealth and fund the regime’s
dangerous behavior,” the U.S. treasury secretary stated.
The U.S. The Treasury Department took its largest action against Iran since 2018,
announcing sanctions against a shipping empire managed by Mohammad Hossein
Shamkhani, whose father Ali Shamkhani is a senior political adviser to the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader.
A senior Treasury Department official told reporters on background on Wednesday that the
federal government’s “massive action” includes sanctioning 15 shipping firms, 52
vessels—including oil tankers and container ships—12 people and 53 other entities.
The European Union designated the younger Shamkhani last week. Washington sanctioned his father, who was reportedly hurt severely in an Israeli airstrike on Iran in June, in 2020.
“The Shamkhani family’s shipping empire highlights how the Iranian regime elites leverage
their positions to accrue massive wealth and fund the regime’s dangerous behavior,” Scott
Bessent, U.S. treasury secretary, stated. “The over 115 sanctions issued today are the largest to date since the Trump administration implemented our campaign of maximum pressure on Iran,” Bessent stated. “These actions put America first by targeting regime elites that profit while Tehran threatens the safety of the United States.” (JNS.org) Read more here.

- Abba, we give You praise and thanks that President Trump is moving to stop Iran's selling of oil to other nations and laundering the profits through shill companies around the world. We ask You to use these corporate and individual sanctions to shut off the flow of oil out and dollars into the Iranian regime. Father God, You know and understand the minds and hearts of all Iranian leadership, we ask You to speak to their hearts, reveal Your feelings concerning their plans to build an atomic bomb and to end Israel's existence. Jesus, You know the source of the hatred and You know the history. We ask for Your perfect will to be done in Iran. We ask this in the name El Gibhor, Mighty God, the God who will accomplish the destruction of His enemies.
- Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!
Your enemies cringe before your mighty power."
(Psalm 66:3)

How We Can Help Israel WIN the Ninth Front of the War Against Her: The Information War
|
|
by Laura Densmore
Netanyahu recently said that Israel is engaged in a NINE-front war; the ninth front is the information war. He hit it right on target.
Jonathan Feldstein’s excellent article, A Tsunami of Christian Libels Against Israel gives us an inside and close-up look at this ninth war front: the Information War.
He lays out three disturbing false narratives (out-and-out lies) that have been pushed by the mainstream media.
This article had me thinking about two burning questions:
WHY are so many Christians (and even some of our leaders) believing these lies?
WHAT can be done about this?
Why are some Christians, and even some of our leaders, so easily “snookered” into believing these vicious lies, half-truths, and propaganda about Israel and the Jewish people?
I believe it is an issue of the heart. If someone already has a leaning towards anti-semitism and Jew hatred in their heart, they are more likely to jump onto the bandwagon of lies against Israel.
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45
Netanyahu recently said that Israel is engaged in a nine-front war; the ninth front is the information war. He hit it right on target.
And now I come to the second burning question: what can we do about all the lies, propaganda, and false accusations being brought against Israel that we see in the news?
DON’T GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS. DON’T GIVE THEM ONE MINUTE OF YOUR TIME. DON’T CONSUME THE RUBBISH BEING SPEWED FROM “ALL THE USUAL SUSPECTS”.
I look to both Jewish and Christian journalists who LIVE in Israel, who have boots on the ground there, and who I consider to be RELIABLE and TRUSTWORTHY news sources.

- Abba, Your people, Israel, need Your help. The enemy is raging against them on every side and some of those called by Your name are being deceived into believing the lies spoken against them. Father God, we ask You to speak to those believers who no longer have a heart for Your people, reveal to them how they have been deceived, show them Israel through Your eyes, restore their vision and heal their hearts. We ask for Your truth, for Your voice to become so prevalent, so loud through Your people, that the enemy will be silenced. Jesus, we ask for strong ,Spirit-filled believers to begin speaking up, to begin defending Your people with such power that the enemy will be forced to withdraw. We ask this in the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has ultimate power over all things.
- "Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect
me from the anger of my enemies. You reach
out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me." (Psalm 138:7)

1. ‘No more partial deals’: Official says Israel, US now back comprehensive plan to end war - Times of Israel
As negotiations with Hamas stall, Israel and the United States are now aligned on aiming for a comprehensive framework in place of a partial ceasefire and hostage-release deal, a senior Israeli official told reporters during a Thursday briefing.
“There will be no more partial deals,” the official was quoted as saying, explaining that Israel and the US now concur on the need to “shift from a framework for the release of some of the hostages to a framework for the release of all of the hostages, the disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip.”
If actualized, it would mark a massive shift for Israel, which came up with the phased hostage deal framework during the first year of the war, as it enabled Israel to secure the release of some of its hostages, while maintaining the ability to resume the war — something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needed in order to maintain his coalition, as far-right partners threatened to collapse the government if Israel agreed to a permanent ceasefire.

2. Soldiers plead with reporters on IDF press tour of Gaza to publicize that they’re burnt out -Times of Israel
The Haaretz daily quotes several soldiers currently serving in Gaza who share how burnt out they are after serving several hundred days of reserve duty.
“Don’t forget to talk about the reservists and active duty soldiers and how exhausted we are,” one of them tells the paper during a press tour of the northern Gaza city of Beit Hanoun organized by the IDF.
“I’ve already [informed the army] that I’m not going back to Gaza after this tour. I’m done with Gaza. People don’t understand what burnout is. They think it’s just a matter of giving us a few more hours of sleep, but it’s much more than that. People here are exhausted,” he says.
“There are not enough forces to carry out the missions. Tell the public what we are going through and shed light of the difficult conditions,” another soldier says. (Read more)

3. Hamas cut off contact, escalation in Gaza likely unavoidable, Israeli official tells 'Post' - Jerusalem Post
There is growing pessimism in Israel over the possibility that Hamas will show flexibility and return to the negotiating table, an Israeli source told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
The feeling within the government is that the talks are nearing collapse, an Israeli official said. “It now seems that an expanded military operation in Gaza is inevitable,” the official said.
“Hamas has cut off contact,” an Israeli source said. “There are no real negotiations with them.”
Hamas has also partially severed ties with Qatar and Egypt, another official familiar with the talks told the Post.“At the moment, they are primarily engaged in talks with Turkey,” the source said. (Read more)

4. IDF thwarts suspected Hamas kidnapping plot in Gaza - World Israel News
Israeli forces on Thursday disrupted what appeared to be a Hamas plot to abduct soldiers in Gaza, after spotting a group of armed terrorists lying in ambush near a commonly used IDF patrol route.
Roughly 13 Hamas terrorists, armed with Kalashnikov rifles and RPGs, were detected by drone surveillance and ground observers near a known tunnel shaft in the Khan Younis area.
According to military assessments, the cell may have been preparing to capture Israeli soldiers, a tactic Hamas has attempted in the past to gain leverage in negotiations.
The noise of the drone likely alerted the terrorists, who quickly fled into the underground tunnel. (Read more)

5. Security tensions: Embassy staff in UAE to return to Israel - Israel National News
Staff at the Israeli embassy in the United Arab Emirates were instructed on Thursday to evacuate and return to Israel, following a heightened security alert issued by the Foreign Ministry.
The decision came after the National Security Council (NSC) updated its travel advisory for the UAE, citing increased threats from terrorist organizations including Iranian operatives, Hamas, Hezbollah, and elements of Global Jihad.
According to the NSC, these groups are intensifying their efforts to target Israelis abroad, with a particular focus on potential retaliation for Operation Rising Lion. The advisory also noted a rise in anti-Israel sentiment and pro-Palestinian Arab incitement since the outbreak of the Swords of Iron war, further exacerbated by Hamas’s “starvation campaign” in Gaza.

1. Default Nation: The Alarming Collapse Of U.S. Household Finances – Prophecy Newswatch
Did you know that U.S. households are carrying $1.18 trillion in credit card debt?
Considering the fact that the average rate of interest on credit card balances is now over 20 percent, that is not good news at all. Sadly, most of the country is just barely scraping by from month to month in this very harsh economic environment, and turning to credit cards for some relief can be extremely tempting.
A thousand dollar credit card balance can turn into four or five thousand dollars in the blink
of an eye, and once you get that deep into the hole it can be very difficult to ever dig
yourself out. Of course if you end up losing your job or having a major medical emergency,
that can be enough to push you completely over the edge financially. Today, that is
happening to an alarming number of Americans.
For some perspective, let’s go back to the end of 2024. At that time, it was being reported
that “credit card loan defaults soared this year”… (Read more)

- Father God, since this a concern for all households, whether it is our own or our families' and friends', we place this situation in Your strong hands to give us all wisdom to handle our finances prudently. We pray that all of us will be able to tap into the supernatural supply that You provide to those who give to Your causes, whether churches or ministries. We ask You to work behind the scenes to bring all streams of government together to make policies favorable to building the economy, especially after the COVID downturn and then a poorly managed administration. Where agency heads are holding out on changing harmful policy, we ask that You would move on them to see clearly what Your plan is to ease up on issues holding our country back. We ask You to move divinely to bring our economy into a healthier place by Your mercy and grace. Amen.

2. Propaganda Wars: Demonizing Israel Through Manipulated Imagery - Prophecy Newswatch
In an era where information travels faster than ever, the deliberate misuse of images and narratives to shape public opinion has become a potent weapon. A recent and glaring example involves pictures of sick children from Gaza, falsely portrayed as victims of starvation caused by Israel. It's egregious that photos of ill children have been misused to depict Israel as responsible for their condition, buffering claims that Israel is starving children when in fact their conditions are medical.
One boy suffers from a serious genetic illness unrelated to the war. But had Hamas not pilfered billions in financial aid to build up a network of terror, perhaps today there would have been medical facilities in Gaza in which he could be treated. On June 12, Israeli troops coordinated another's evacuation from Gaza, along with his mother and brother for treatment in Italy.
This case exemplifies how fake news is crafted and disseminated to vilify Israel, exploiting vulnerable children to fuel anti-Israel narratives. The manipulation of these images as demonstrating allegations of famine in Gaza made headlines in major outlets like The New York Times, CNN, Sky News, The Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Express and others (just in English). It reveals a troubling pattern of media bias, and the distortion of truth to demonize a nation. Even worse, it depicts a lie.
One picture depicts a frail child, seemingly on the brink of death, being comforted by his mother. Widely circulated, it was presented as evidence of a famine in Gaza, with Israel cast as the perpetrator. The image, while real, was stripped of its context and repurposed to fit a narrative that falsely accused Israel of causing famine in Gaza. This deliberate misrepresentation is not an isolated incident but part of a broader strategy to manipulate public perception and demonize Israel. (Read more)

- Dear Lord, in the strongest terms and in the name of Jesus, we come against this spirit of anti-Semitism in the form of lying images and narratives. We decree and declare that every time a false image is published that they will be taken down immediately and the truth told about the falsehood being promoted. We say that they will suffer a loss of ratings and learn to tell the truth instead. We pray that You will give Israel great favor as they seek to shut down the aggressors and eliminate them entirely as You open the eyes of the world to reality in that area.

3. Sharia Rising: Islam's Quiet Takeover Of London And New York - Prophecy Newswatch
It's no longer theory. It's no longer rumor. The Islamization of our major cities is happening--aggressively, publicly, and without apology. From taxpayer-funded Sharia positions in the UK to chants of "Globalize the Intifada" on the streets of New York, the message is clear: many Muslims are not merely seeking to assimilate--they're seeking to dominate.
For decades, critics were shouted down for warning that open-door immigration and unchecked multiculturalism would invite a clash of civilizations. Now, the clash has arrived. And our leaders are still asleep.
What Is Sharia--and Why It Threatens Everything We Believe
Sharia Law is not some spiritual discipline or optional religious code. It is a comprehensive legal system that governs criminal justice, civil law, family law, business, and personal conduct--based entirely on Islamic texts. It is totalitarian by nature, declaring that man's law must bow to Allah's.
Under Sharia, women are subjugated, apostates are executed, blasphemy is criminalized, non-Muslims are treated as second-class, and free speech is silenced. There is no room for compromise with the Western ideals of liberty, equality under the law, and religious freedom. Sharia is not compatible with our Constitution--it is its antithesis.
And yet, a shocking number of Muslims--even in Western democracies--want it. (Read more)

- We ask that You would stir up true believers in our country to become vocal when necessary to stand strong against the incursions of Sharia that are taking place right now. We decree that all attempts to establish Sharia zones in our cities and even rural counties will ultimately fail because the Spirit of our Holy God is so strong. We ask that You would open the eyes of those who do not see the harm in Islam and how it abuses its adherents. Father, please arrange for our government to cut off the flow of people of strange religions into our county as this is a threat to the very foundations we were built upon.
- "Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take up their names into my lips." (Psalms 16:4)

4. Is AI a Tool or a Trojan Horse? Why I’m Deeply Concerned for the Minds of Our Children - The Epoch Times
We’ve seen this before. With video games. With smartphones. With social media. With benzos, alcohol, marijuana, opioids, psilocybin, and even artificial sweeteners.
We embraced convenience before understanding consequence.
Now we’re doing it again—with a tool that doesn’t just entertain or numb, but replaces the very act of thinking. And the cost may be nothing short of a crisis in brain development.
A recent MIT study used EEG (electroencephalography) to examine what happens in the brain when people use AI tools like ChatGPT. The results were chilling. Brain activity dropped—especially in the prefrontal and temporal lobes, the areas responsible for problem-solving, planning, memory, and language. Even after removing the AI, participants who had used it showed persistently lower brain engagement. This lingering drop—dubbed cognitive debt—is eerily similar to patterns we see in screen-saturated youth or early cognitive decline.
So what’s happening here? We’re offloading the hard parts of thinking. And when we stop struggling, the brain stops growing. When we outsource, we atrophy. (Read more)

- Omnipotent Father,
You know and understand everything here on earth. We ask You to give us Your wisdom as we approach this AI platform that has been created. We humans are sometimes fearful of new technology, such as AI. Lord, we don’t want anyone to be hurt or misled. May this tool be used for good, not for evil. We trust in and depend only on You. We love You and thank You for Your everlasting goodness.
In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, amen and amen.
- "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7)

5. Witkoff meets Netanyahu after Hamas torpedoes ceasefire talks - JNS.org
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff at his Jerusalem office on Thursday afternoon.
Witkoff’s trip marks his first visit to the Jewish state since May and comes after the collapse of indirect ceasefire negotiations between Jerusalem and the Hamas terrorist group in Doha last week.
Witkoff is also expected to meet with other officials to discuss urgent next steps, including expanding aid access to Gaza. He is also expected to visit aid distribution facilities in the Strip operated by the American Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Hamas currently holds 50 hostages—49 of whom were taken during the Oct. 7, 2023, invasion of the western Negev, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 kidnapped and taken to Gaza. According to Israeli estimates, 20 of the hostages are believed to be alive.
Trump said on his Truth Social platform on Thursday that “the fastest way to end the humanitarian crises in Gaza is for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages!!!” (Read more)
|
|
- Father God,
We invite Your presence into this important meeting between Mr. Witkoff and Prime Minister Netanyahu. May Your Spirit guide their conversation as they seek solutions to bring freedom to every hostage and expand much-needed aid to Gaza. Grant each man wisdom, clarity, and a shared sense of purpose, that they may act according to Your will—for the good of both nations and for the glory of Your name.
Thank You for Your steadfast love and unwavering devotion to the people of Israel. We honor and praise Your holy name, now and forever. Amen.
- "And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of council and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord." (Isaiah 11:2)

6. For first time, Arab countries decry Hamas attack on Oct. 7 in ‘New York Declaration’ - JNS.org
Some two months before the second anniversary of the Hamas-led terrorist invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, 17 countries and entities signed onto the “New York Declaration,” marking “a first condemnation by Arab nations of Hamas, whose attacks killed about 1,200, mainly Israeli civilians, and whose militants took about 250 people hostage,” the Associated Press reported.
The declaration received somewhat muted coverage hours after the United Kingdom made international headlines when it said it would recognize a Palestinian state in September if Israel didn’t take certain steps.
On the second day of a U.N. conference in New York about a two-state solution, the 17 denounced the Oct. 7 massacre and said that Hamas’s rule must come to an end in Gaza. They did so in the same paragraph that they denounced Israel.
“We condemn the attacks committed by Hamas against civilians on Oct. 7. We also condemn the attacks by Israel against civilians in Gaza and civilian infrastructure, siege and starvation, which have resulted in a devastating humanitarian catastrophe and protection crisis,” the 17 said in the declaration. “There is no justification for breaches in grave violation of international law, including international humanitarian law, and we stressed the need for accountability.” (Read more)

|
- Lord of all,
Seventeen Arab nations are now condemning Hamas—a shift that we agree with and welcome. Yet at the same time, they are condemning Israel for defending its people. This contradiction is difficult to understand and deeply troubling. Their declaration seems confused and inconsistent.
They call for Hamas to disarm and submit to the Palestinian Authority, which is itself compromised by Hamas ideologies. Lord, we ask You to intervene. Bring clarity, wisdom, and righteousness into these decisions. Let the leaders of these nations be guided by truth and justice, not political convenience or deception.
We pray in the mighty name of Jesus—Amen and amen.
- "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they be secure who love you!”

The Coup We Warned About
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, July 31, 2025
Back in 2017, The Daily Jot exposed what few dared to print: the Obama Administration, Hillary Clinton, and the DNC conspired to create a false Russia narrative to discredit Donald Trump. Now, eight years later, the intelligence community has declassified reports confirming that the Trump-Russia collusion hoax was manufactured by Democrat operatives and laundered through media and intelligence channels. Fusion GPS was paid with Clinton-DNC funds to create the infamous Steele Dossier. That fiction was used to justify spying on Trump’s campaign via the FISA court. And now it’s officially confirmed, our government, under Barack Obama, targeted a presidential candidate and sitting president based on lies.
The truth always comes out, even if it has to claw through years of deception. This was a coordinated effort by high-ranking Democrats, weaponized agencies, and complicit media to undermine a sitting president and stage a bloodless coup, culminating in the questionable election of Joe Biden in 2020. Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, now Director of National Intelligence, called it “a treasonous conspiracy.” This assessment comes from the highest levels of US intelligence. Obama-era officials, including FBI, CIA, and DOJ actors, were neck-deep in a scheme that violated FISA protections, abused prosecutorial discretion, and flipped public opinion with false narratives. They orchestrated four years of resistance, impeachments, and smear campaigns. The damage they caused still echoes through our divided nation. Read More

Cox declares state of emergency due to
Utah wildfires
|
|
|
Close to 700 wildfires have ripped through nearly 114,000 acres in Utah, prompting Gov. Spencer Cox to issue an emergency declaration Thursday to help those impacted.
The state of emergency is in effect for 30 days and is designed to help protect drinking water supplies, wildfire victims, ranchers and others.
“Heroic efforts are underway as firefighters and emergency personnel work around the clock to save homes and neighborhoods,” Cox said. “We are mobilizing every tool at our disposal to support them and keep Utahns safe.”
The executive order activates the State Emergency Operations Plan, authorizes the deployment of the Utah National Guard if needed, and streamlines assistance for local governments under Utah law.
On Friday, Cox will travel to the Monroe Canyon Fire to receive an on-site briefing, meet with local leaders and fire teams, and provide an update to members of the media.
The Monroe Canyon Fire has burned more than 37,000 acres and destroyed seven cabins and homes.
Shifting winds, abundant dry fuels, and fast-moving flames continue to threaten the surrounding community. The governor is urging residents to follow evacuation orders and stay clear of the area so first responders can operate safely and effectively.
So far this year, 72% of Utah’s wildfires have been human-caused. The governor reminded the public that “fire sense” saves lives and property by reducing sparks from everyday activities and helping firefighters focus on blazes ignited by lightning. Read More
