A ‘Miracle’: CCP Releases Pastor Ezra Jin
|
|
|
In an extraordinary turn of events, China’s communist regime released imprisoned Pastor Ezra Jin on Friday, marking a reversal in its previous hardline stance in Jin’s case following an appeal from President Trump for the pastor’s release in May.
On July 4, The Free Press reported that Jin had arrived in Los Angeles the day before and was reunited with his family after 266 days in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) prison system. “It was the first time in eight years Jin saw his wife, and the first in six years he saw his daughter,” the outlet noted, as Jin’s family had previously fled the CCP’s persecution and settled in the U.S., while Jin decided to remain in China to continue leading his church.
Jin was arrested and imprisoned by dictator Xi Jinping’s regime last October as part of one of the largest crackdowns on China’s Christian community in decades. Almost two dozen pastors and other workers from Jin’s Zion Church were initially arrested, although some were later released. The house church became a target of the CCP after it gained 10,000 members without being registered with the government. After it’s Beijing church was shut down in 2018, Zion began meeting in over 100 locations across 40 cities and became increasingly influential after it began live-streaming its services during China’s stringent COVID lockdowns.

Abba Father we rejoice over the MIRACLE of the release of Pastor Ezra Jin! We celebrate his safe return into the United States and the long awaited reuniting with his family, after many oppressive years. Bless President Trump for his diligent efforts to hold talks with the Chinese Communist Dictator, Xi Jinping, to allow Pastor Ezra Jin's liberation. We pray Lord, that You would continue to use Pastor Ezra Jin who was able to impact so many while he lived imprisoned in China. Heal him from any trauma experienced and spread his testimony of Your unwavering faithfulness, so news of his prison-release miracle will be shared around the world! In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, we pray- Amen.
"You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples." (Psalm 77:14)

US Strikes 90 Iranian Military Targets, Hours After Trump says Ceasefire a "Waste of Time"
|
|
“The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway,” U.S. Central Command said.
The American military attacked about 90 military targets in Iran, including “air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s coastline,” U.S. Central Command said shortly before midnight on Wednesday night.
“The latest strikes follow successful execution of offensive strikes in Iran the night before,” CENTCOM said. The strikes “further degrade Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping and innocent civilian mariners in the Strait of Hormuz,” it added.
Hours before the strikes began, U.S. President Donald Trump said that negotiating with Iran regime leaders was “just a waste of time” and called the Iranians “liars,” “scum” and “sick people.”
“If they had a nuclear weapon, they’d use it,” Trump said earlier in the day. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s over.”
U.S. Central Command said that Trump ordered the additional strikes to “further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.”
“The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway,” CENTCOM said. Read more (JNS News) |

Abba, Your son, Donald, seems to have run out of patience with Iranian leaders, putting destruction of Iran's resources for war on the front pages of the world's newspapers. We ask for mercy and protection on all Iranians who do not stand with the regime. Holy Spirit, we ask You to intervene in the minds and hearts of the evil people running Iran, show them the end of their lives, give them reason to turn from the demonic intentions that are bringing their own demise! Give them wisdom to turn to You for forgiveness and salvation! Father God, we ask for Your perfect will to be done in bringing this war to an end, give President Trump and his leadership team the wisdom and understanding to follow as You lead them, keeping them within the boundaries You created for them. Jesus, keep their hearts from anger and their minds on You. We ask this in the name Yahweh Jireh, The Lord Will Provide all that we have need of.
"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,
miracles that cannot be counted."
(Job 5:9)

Evangelicals Should Be Glad President Trump is Getting Much Tougher with Iran -- His Deal Was Way Too Generous and Tehran Could Never Be Trusted
|
|
by Joel Rosenberg
Now we must pray without ceasing
Well, that didn’t take long.
President Donald J. Trump on Wednesday said the 14-point Memorandum of Understanding that he and Vice President JD Vance struck with Iran is now off the table.
As ALL ISRAEL NEWS reported, Trump also accused the current Iranian leadership of being “sick, vicious, violent and evil people.”
I couldn’t agree more.
The big question is: What happens next?
My colleagues and I at ALL ISRAEL NEWS have been warning for weeks that the Trump/Vance deal was way too generous.
We have also been warning that Tehran could not be trusted to negotiate a serious, solid and verifiable final deal.
Not yet, anyway.
Not until they are punished much more and their offensive capabilities are completely obliterated.
Finally, after weeks of Iran attacking ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz — and attacking America’s Arab allies in the Gulf — Trump agrees.
To his credit, Trump has ordered U.S. forces to hit dozens of Iranian military targets.
Good.
Evangelical Christians should be grateful that Trump and his team are getting much tougher with Iran.
At the same time, we need to pray for the Lord to urgently grant “wisdom from above” to the Commander-in-Chief and his inner circle.
The U.S. must truly win this war and end the Iran threat once and for all.
None of us want a raging war in the Gulf to continue with no end in sight.
None of us want oil and gas prices to skyrocket again and stay high forever.
No one wants American soldiers and civilians living in the Gulf region — or the 700,000 Americans who live in Israel — or any of our Israeli and Arab allies to have to endure another massive missile war.
That said, we cannot allow the wicked Iranian regime to win. Read more (All Israel News) |

Abba, we thank You for the heart Joel Rose has for Your people, Israel. We thank You for his boldness in speaking truth and not pulling back. We stand with him and say "Yes and AMEN", to his vision and prayers in this article. We stand with him in his prayer for You to provide President Trump and his leadership with supernatural vision, wisdom and understanding as they make the decision about "what's next". Your perfect will is needed around what's next. Father God, we ask You to align Your intercessors hearts with Yours as we pray into what and how the US should move forward. Help us to see as You see, to hear as You hear and to know the path You have put before us to pray into being the next steps. Let there be no question in our hearts of Your desires, intentions and plans to bring this war to an end. We ask for Your mercy and grace on our nation. We ask this in the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has ultimate power over all things.
"He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch
the nations--let not the rebellious rise up against him."
(Psalm 66:7)

New Film Asks if America Can Survive Without Virtue
|
|
In this The Federalist article, Brianna Lyman reviews the new documentary “The Thread of Liberty: Keeping Our Republic,” which asks if America can survive without virtue rooted in religious conviction.
- The film argues the Constitution depends on a virtuous people who understand rights come from God, not government.
- It contrasts current success with the collapse of prior republics, crediting voluntary institutions like churches and charities for fostering responsibility.
- Progressives shifted responsibilities to federal government, weakening self-governance.
- George Washington’s voluntary surrender of power exemplifies virtue from religious character.
- The Founders codified self-governance rooted in colonial virtues sustained by religion.
- Declining religiosity risks eroding the moral foundation necessary for ordered liberty.
- The documentary urges reclaiming virtue to sustain the republic beyond institutions.

Abba, this article could be daunting if read in isolation without the 'BUT GOD factor'. So much of this speaks of what can now be seen with eyes of experience and understanding that was not visible as it was being created. The BUT GOD factor changes everything. As Your children You have called us to come up higher, to see from Your perspective what is happening on the earth. We tend to look up "through" the negative instead of looking down on it as You see it. Father God, we ask for Your voice to be loud and clear as You urge us to come up higher, to see as You see, and to be able to pray with total faith that what You have ordained is what You will bring into the present circumstances. Looking down eliminates the unknown, those things that cause us to be fearful or uncertain. Holy Spirit, delivererach Your intercessors to stop and ask for Your eyes before we begin to pray, to seek Your wisdom and certainty so we pray from a perspective of "it is completed". You won the entire war on the cross, our job is to walk out and maintain what You already accomplished when You rose from the dead. We ask this in the name Yahweh Palet, God The Deliverer, the God who delivered us from the plans of the enemy.
"He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold
and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take
refuge, who subdues peoples under me."
(Psalm 144:2)

Trump Addresses Assassination Concerns After Sending New Air Force One to Europe Instead of Flying Home on Plane
|
|
UPDATE: The White House Press Pool was advised to keep the window shades on Air Force One closed while en route to the United States after taking off from Ankara, Turkey, at 8:43 pm local time. It is still unclear if this is due to security concerns. This comes as US forces execute strikes in Iran.
President Trump was seen boarding the old Air Force One jet en route to the US. The new plane is currently at Mildenhall Air Force Base in the UK.
President Trump on Wednesday told reporters numerous times that Iran is plotting to assassinate him and addressed questions about potential security concerns in a press conference after conspicuously changing his travel plans.
Trump had said earlier during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that Iran is still targeting him for assassination, slamming the Iranians as “evil, sick people.”
“They want to take out the US leader, me, I’m on every list. I saw a thing this morning; I’m on every single one of their lists,” Trump said. “And so far, I guess I’ve been maybe lucky, but that maybe doesn’t last very long because that’s the way it goes.“ (The Gateway Pundit) Read more
Abba, You know the beginning from the end and all the in between! We stand in faith and say, "NO", to the concept of President Trump being assassinated!! We reject those words and speak words of life over him, we decree and declare that Your plans for Your son, Donald, will stand and any plans of the enemy will be broken and become null and void. Holy Spirit, we ask for hoards of angels to surround him and keep him safe from internal or external attacks. We speak the same covering of protection around all of the US leadership team, that NO HARM will be allowed to come near. Jesus, we stand in agreement with You concerning Your son, Donalds life, as You have determined, so will it be....AMEN We ask this in the name Yahweh Shalom, The Lord Our Peace, a peace that comes from being complete in our savior.
"In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you
alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety."

- Times of Israel
Israel has shared intelligence with the United States about a new plot by Iran to kill US President Donald Trump, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter.
The newspaper notes Iran has been publicly pledging to assassinate Trump since the US killed Iranian IRGC Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani in 2020, with calls for the US president’s death prominently featured in the ongoing mourning commemorations for slain supreme leader ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It was unclear from the report when the intelligence was relayed, or through what channel. (Read more)

3. Israel says Gaza aid deliveries are significantly exceeding international benchmarks - JNS
Israel’s Defense Ministry on Thursday released a report concluding that aid deliveries to Gaza “significantly exceeded” international standards in the nine months after the Oct. 10, 2025, truce.
The report—published by the ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) unit and based on Israel Defense Forces data, figures from the United Nations and international NGOs, open-source reports and humanitarian research—covers food security, water, sanitation and hygiene, as well as healthcare conditions since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
According to COGAT, roughly 1.78 million metric tons of food entered Gaza between the start of the ceasefire and June 7, 2026, roughly three times the food requirements defined by the U.N. World Food Programme. (Read more)

4. Jordan angry as Israel refuses to renew additional water agreement - World Israel News
Jordan is expressing anger over Israel’s continued refusal to renew an agreement that provides the kingdom with additional water supplies, with a Jordanian official saying the issue is an important part of the countries’ peace treaty.
“Water is very important for us, and it is also part of the peace agreement,” a Jordanian source close to the government told Kan News on Monday, without directly referring to the dispute over the renewal of the additional water agreement.
Israel has not renewed the agreement, whose main provisions are anchored in the peace treaty between the two countries and under which Jordan receives additional water at a discounted price, according to the report. (Read more)

5. Israel's $35B gas deal with Egypt moves ahead as key pipeline opens
- Israel Hayom
Israel's largest-ever gas deal has taken a significant step forward: NewMed Energy, controlled by Yitzhak Tshuva's Delek Group and Idan Wells, announced that the undersea pipeline between Ashdod and Ashkelon has been completed, a project that will make it possible to increase the flow of natural gas from Israel to Egypt.
The project, carried out by Israel Natural Gas Lines, will increase by about 2 billion cubic meters a year the volume of gas that can be transported through the EMG pipeline, which connects Ashkelon to el-Arish in Egypt.
Following the completion of the work, transmission capacity in the pipeline will increase from about 6.5 billion cubic meters a year to about 8.5 billion cubic meters. Of that amount, the Leviathan gas field's export capacity is expected to stand at about 6.5 billion cubic meters a year, in addition to about 2 billion cubic meters currently exported to Egypt via the export pipeline to Jordan and northern Egypt.

1. Trump Warns of Global Spread of Communism at NATO Summit – The Epoch Times
Communism ‘has become international,’ the president said, but has ‘never worked’ and will not succeed.
President Donald Trump reiterated his warnings about communism during the NATO summit in Ankara on July 8, saying it’s taking root in the United States and around the world.
In response to a question from NTD News, the sister outlet of The Epoch Times, Trump said that the United States faces a growing ideological threat from communism, and described it as appealing because it promises free housing and other benefits.
The president said that communism ultimately leads to poverty, violence, and poor living conditions.
He said it has consistently failed throughout history, even when presented under different names such as “social democrats.”
“I want to get the word out, because what’s forming is communism in the country, and communism is easy to sell,” Trump said during the press conference at the conclusion of the summit.
“It sounds so nice. It’s not nice. It’s a very dangerous term.”

Lord God, we praise You that our president has warned so forcefully against the growth of communism--both here and abroad--of the very real dangers to our freedom and way of life. May those who advocate for communism in our nation have their hearts and minds changed by the truth—we have so many historical and present examples of this “ism” and it’s disastrous effects everywhere it has existed.
Open eyes to the schemes of the devil working through communism to destroy our freedoms, especially our right to worship You! We know that the devil comes to kill, steal and destroy—Lord, may You bring another Great Awakening to our land as the truth concerning communism is re-exposed. May those bamboozled by the left awake to the deceptions and false promises that would bring only poverty and destruction. In Jesus’ name, we bind the forces of deception as we send forth the Truth-Tellers!
"The LORD will perfect that which concerns [us]; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands." (Psalm 138:8)

2. DOJ warns state officials they can be prosecuted if they let noncitizens vote: ‘Want them to stop’ – Justthenews
U.S. government has conducted reviews that found tens of thousands of noncitizens have made it onto state voter rolls. The Justice Department's top election enforcement official has sent a pointed warning to all 50 states that election administrators can be criminally prosecuted if they knowingly allow noncitizens to vote in the upcoming 2026 election.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon sent the letters Tuesday after the U.S. government conducted reviews that found tens of thousands of noncitizens have made it onto state voter rolls, and the DOJ prosecuted a handful of foreigners who voted in federal elections illegally, including an Australian citizen earlier this week.
“Every person who votes illegally that cancels your or my vote is one too many for me, and I think it should be for every citizen, because it’s a sacred right,” Dhillon told the Just the News, No Noise television show Wednesday night.
Dhillon's letters give states five days to explain how they will comply with federal voter eligibility laws and identify what steps they will take to maintain “clean voter lists" that remove noncitizens before Election Day. Read more

Holy Father,
Thank You for our Justice Department finding these tens of thousands of non-citizens that are on our state voter rolls.
We pray, Father, that the letters sent out to all 50 states by the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights with a direct warning about how they must comply with Federal voting laws will place the fear of God in all that have been allowing this deception to take root in our nation.
Lord, we pray that this web of deceit that has been operating in our nation will now be destroyed once and forever as these states remove all non-citizens from their voting lists. We decree, "Clean Voter Lists" from this time forward!
In Jesus' name. Amen and Amen.
"Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked." (Psalm 43:1)

3. Platner Ends US Senate Campaign Ahead of Deadline to Replace Him – The Epoch Times
Platner exited the Maine Senate race over an assault allegation he denies, giving Democrats until July 27 to name a nominee to face Sen. Susan Collins.
Graham Platner, Maine Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, withdrew from his race against Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on July 8, ending a campaign rocked by a sexual assault allegation and giving the state’s Democratic Party time to name a replacement before November’s election.
“We are suspending campaign operations,” Platner said in a video posted to X.
“This is incredibly difficult, because I know many will think of it as an admission of guilt,” he said. “It most certainly is not.”
At the start of the more than 11-minute video, Platner addressed—and denied—the reported allegations of sexual assault.
“I think, as many of you know, over the past couple days I have faced some very serious allegations, and I just want to make it clear: this is all false,” Platner said. “The things that have been claimed did not happen. It’s not real.”
He suggested that the allegations were politically motivated.
The move came less than a week before the July 13 deadline for a candidate to withdraw and still be replaced on the ballot. Under Maine law, the state party then has until July 27 to name a new nominee. Read more

Righteous Judge,
As Graham Platner steps down and suspends his campaign against Senator Susan Collins due to sexual assault allegations, we pray for all things hidden to come to light. We pray that, as the Democratic party replaces him by July 27th, You would lead them to a righteous candidate, who will love God, country and family values.
Lord, watch over these elections coming up and tear down any who are not of You so that our nation can operate in unity and once again function as a whole, working together for the betterment of America's people. We beseech You, Righteous Judge, to make a way to remove all socialists and Moslems who have already been elected or who are now running for seats in our government.
Lord, we lay America at Your feet today and pray that the "Spirit of Righteousness" will once again echo across our land. We humbly offer this prayer, in Jesus' name, Amen and Amen.
"When the Godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan." (Proverbs 29:2)
"Remove the wicked man from among yourselves." (I Corinthians 5:13)

4. The Islamic Republic of Iran’s War on Christians – Discern Report
In this Gatestone Institute article, Uzay Bulut details the escalating persecution of Christians in Iran under the Islamic Republic, including arrests, imprisonment, church seizures, and Bible bans.
- At least 21 Christians received custodial sentences in 2025 for Bible distribution, with total prison sentences exceeding 280 years for 254 arrested Christians.
- House churches are raided, Bibles confiscated as contraband, and ordinary activities like prayer gatherings and baptisms criminalized under national security charges.
- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) increasingly leads raids with brutality, including body searches, beatings, and blocking medical aid.
- Regime forces seized Saint Peter Evangelical Church in Tehran, evicting residents from a historic compound despite recognized minority status for Armenian and Assyrian Christians.
- Christians face severe mistreatment in prison, exorbitant bail, exile, and monitoring of overseas activities, forcing thousands to flee annually.
- The regime’s hatred for Christians mirrors its broader oppression of its own people and export of terrorism, rendering agreements like the MOU ineffective against its ideology. Read more

Father God,
We thank You for the research done by the Discern Report, carefully outlining the ways that the ayatollahs in Iran have placed our Christian brothers and sisters under severe persecution. We give this "war on Christians" to you, Holy One, asking for an end to this persecution and decreeing that it is written that nothing is too difficult for You! (Jeremiah 22:37)
As we continue to march forward as the one-man army You have created, we look to You in worship, trusting that our own worship will obliterate the Moslem's hatred toward our people. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!" (Luke 23:34) In Your Name, Abba, we offer this prayer, amen and amen.
“Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two‑edged sword in their hand;” (Psalm 149:6)

5. Called Out From the Culture: The Hope for America Is the Church – Discern Report
In this Harbinger’s Daily article, Greg Laurie argues that the hope for America is the church—God working through His people called out from culture to be salt and light.
- Laurie recounts his own conversion during the Jesus Movement at Calvary Chapel, where the Bible became relevant and his heart changed.
- The church, from the Greek *ekklésia* meaning “called out,” is set apart from the world yet called together in Christ’s name.
- Jesus promised the gates of Hades would not prevail against His church, which remains the one organization He started.
- Christians must live Christlike, opposing sin while loving sinners, acting as preservative salt and shining lights in darkness.
- God’s promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14 calls His people to humility, prayer, and repentance for national healing.
- Rather than critiquing the church, believers should actively participate to transform communities, cities, and the nation. Read more

Lord God, we thank You for this document, written by Greg Laurie, that reminds us of who we are in Christ, and of the overcoming power of "Christ in us, the hope of Glory!" verse
By Your Grace, O Lord, we ask that You would help each one of us to remember that, during our darkest days, that power does reside within us and will carry us through to better times. In Your Name, Abba, we offer this prayer, amen and amen!
"Christ in you, the hope of Glory!" (Colossians 1:27)

6. Iran Hits Back, Launching Missiles On Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar - Ignoring Trump's Warning Of "Much Worse" Bombing – ZeroHedge
Nearing 5am Tehran time, and there are incoming reports of Iranian retaliation against Gulf states, which it seems is set to become a predictable pattern - after hours ago the US launched fresh airstrikes on Iranian island and coastal areas near the Hormuz Strait. According to developing reports via AFP and other sources:
- Explosions heard in Bahrain after air raid sirens: AFP
- Kuwait says responding to 'hostile' missile, drone attacks
- U.S. forces struck two railway bridges in northern Iran with cruise missiles—the first U.S. attack on Iranian infrastructure since the April 8 ceasefire.
Reports (unconfirmed) also suggest that missiles are being fired on Qatar - which hasn't happened in quite a while. Iran has reportedly launched ballistic missiles at the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, in a first since early March. Read more

Yes, Lord, this now seems to be the pattern of the war we are in: we strike Iran; and
Iran (the coward that it is) strikes back against allies in the Middle East. Once again,
O Lord, we cry out to You that the evil regime now ruling Iran would collapse,
leaving freedom and hope in its wake.
We continue, too, to lift up President Trump who has shown such courage in this time. May You continue to strengthen him in the inner man as he wages this war
against our enemy. Thank You, O Lord, for hearing our prayer, amen and amen!
"Give the king Your judgments, O God,
And Your righteousness to the king’s son.
And He shall live;
And the gold of Sheba will be given to him;
Prayer also will be made for Him continually,
And daily he shall be praised." (Psalm 72:1,15)

The Party of Rebellion Wearing the Mask of Freedom
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, July 9, 2026
Today's Democratic Party frequently portrays itself as the defender of democracy, equality, and freedom. Yet critics see a very different pattern, one that stretches from America's earliest divisions to today's ideological battles. Throughout American history, the Democratic Party defended slavery before the Civil War, resisted Reconstruction, and helped institutionalize Jim Crow laws throughout much of the South. The Civil War, fought primarily over slavery and secession, claimed somewhere between 620,000 and 750,000 American lives, making it the deadliest conflict in our nation's history. Beware of political parties that wrap themselves in noble language while advancing division and rebellion.
Increasingly, prominent Democratic leaders and candidates embrace ideas once considered outside the American mainstream. Democratic Socialist candidates openly advocate government control over broad sectors of society, expansive redistribution of wealth, and policies that critics argue weaken constitutional limits on government. Recent comments supporting resistance to Supreme Court immigration rulings, calls to expand the Supreme Court when decisions go against their political doctrines, and organizations advocating the dismantling of Western civilization raise legitimate questions about the direction of the party. These developments deserve thoughtful public debate rather than silence or dismissal. Read More

The Venezuelan Earthquakes Exposed Something
— and It Wasn't Just Shoddy Infrastructure
|
|
|
|
The death toll from the two major Venezuelan earthquakes that happened within seconds of each other on June 24 has now reached 3,535. Nearly 17,000 people are injured, and tens of thousands remain missing. Rescue operations continue, and, surprisingly, as recently as today, July 6, workers are still finding people who are buried alive.
Tens of thousands of buildings have damage or have collapsed completely. The earthquake has exposed just how poorly built and maintained much of the country's infrastructure was, which comes as no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention for the last 30 years. But the bigger picture here is that it exposed how fragile the political situation is and how much worse it could get in the days and weeks to come if it's not handled carefully.
When we first captured Nicolás Maduro, Marco Rubio made two things clear. The first was that "interim president" Delcy Rodríguez is not the endgame. We all knew she was just as corrupt as Maduro and was merely the Trump administration's pragmatic little puppet, who will do everything they tell her to so she can save her own head.
Within the first 24-48 hours, the only person who seemed to be doing anything was Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who had teams on the ground immediately. The Venezuelan people and independent journalists there were reporting that Team Delcy wasn't really doing anything at all, and, at times, even denying access to media and volunteers, stealing aid, looting, charging families fees for the bodies of their dead loved ones, and refusing to mobilize the few resources she has access to. Last week, during a press conference, several international journalists confronted Miss Interim President about this, and she was defiant and untruthful. Regime is gonna regime, but rescuers from the United States and other countries have confirmed that, without a doubt, this cost lives. (PJ Media) Read more here.

Oh Heavenly Father, there is so much to pray over for this article. First of all we lift up the people of Venezuela and thank You for the love our teams are able to share with those who are so hurting. Secondly, we pray for Marco Rubio and President Trump as they seek Your wisdom in navigating these many challenges for maintaining stability, security and leadership in that ravaged nation. Next we lift up opposition leader Machado and pray for her and her teams to stay in alignment with Your plans for this country. Jesus, we need You in every area, not to mention angel warriors standing on the backs of the cartels and narco-terrorists, keeping them under authority, as well. We thank You Jesus for Your ever-present help in this deep time of need on so many fronts and we pray for the people of this land to know the name of Jeshua as their Savior, for Your glory.
"The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined." (Isaiah 9:2)

Far-Left Rep. Adelita Grijalva Vows to Investigate America 250 for Involving Christianity
|
|
|
|
“We Do Not Have an Official Religion in This Country, Nor Do I Believe Should We”
|
|
|
The radical, Godless Left is at it again, and this time they are setting their sights on America’s 250th birthday celebration.
Newly elected far-left Democrat Representative Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) threatened that if Democrats somehow manage to hijack the House gavel, they will immediately launch a weaponized congressional investigation into the Trump administration’s official “Freedom 250” events.
Instead of defending the First Amendment and America’s foundational history, Grijalva completely took the bait, trashing the historic celebration.
Russert:
“This iteration of America 250—this Freedom 250 that Donald Trump and his cronies have engaged in—there is a really strong element of Christian nationalism that is meant to define what it means to be an American. Can you speak to that and what you guys uncovered?”
Grijalva:
“Well, that’s incredibly problematic because our nation is built on, really, the contributions of immigrants, of people from all different countries, all different nationalities, and all different religions. We do not have an official religion in this country, nor do I believe we should. We are supposed to be this melting pot where everyone comes together and is stronger as a result of it.

Mighty King, we forgive this lost woman and call her to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and as her Savior. We stand firmly against communism and hatred and pray for the glory of God to continue to shine brightly within this nation, overflowing the lost with Your love and overthrowing those who seek the demise of our faith, in Jesus's name. Jesus, we thank You for calling this nation into being and we ask You to continue to stir up Your followers and faithful to speak out and cry out against the tyrannies striving against this land, our Constitution and our God, in Jesus's name.
"'Yet He is not partial to princes, Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; For they are all the work of His hands. In a moment they die, in the middle of the night; The people are shaken and pass away; The mighty are taken away without a hand. For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps.'"
(Job 34:19-21)

Report: Graham Platner Accused of Breaking into Woman’s House, Sexually Assaulting Her
|
|
|
|
Jenny Racicot, 41, told Politico that while she and Platner had been involved in an “on-and-off relationship,” in 2021 he allegedly “entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night” while intoxicated. Platner allegedly “forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop.”
“I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me,” Racicot explained to the outlet. “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.'”
Breitbart News reported in June that several women, including Lyndsey Fifield, and Racicot spoke to the New York Times about their past relationships with Platner. (Breitbart) Read more here.

Righteous Savior, if this man is guilty of these accusations, we pray for him to be prosecuted fully for his crimes and find repentance in the process and if not, let that be known, in Jesus's name. It is time for lawlessness to be met with the consequences due the law-breaking and we ask for strength for all who would push forward for prosecution, in Jesus's name. Holy King, we pray that he has not molested children, but if so, would You please expose it so he may be held responsible for his evil doings against children, in Jesus's name. We also pray for Your comfort, healing and protection to be so very near to every person who has been harmed in one way or another by his selfish actions, in the name of Jesus.
"'The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, "No eye will see me"; And he disguises his face. In the dark they break into houses Which they marked for themselves in the daytime; They do not know the light. For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death; If someone recognizes them, They are in the terrors of the shadow of death. They should be swift on the face of the waters, Their portion should be cursed in the earth, So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards." (Job 24:15-18)

LA on earthquake alert as fault lines hit highest stress levels in history: study
|
|
|
Los Angeles could be edging closer to “the big one,” with new research finding earthquake stress has reached its highest levels in at least 1,000 years along two of California’s most dangerous fault systems.
The study, published June 3, used computer simulations to examine how stress has built up along three segments of the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults near the San Bernardino Mountains over the past millennium.
Researchers found that two of the three fault segments have reached, or exceeded, the highest stress levels seen during that time.
The findings don’t mean a major earthquake is imminent, but they reinforce what seismologists have warned for years: Southern California remains primed for a powerful quake.
“We have been lucky in California not to experience a large urban earthquake since 1994 on Northridge,” Ahmed Elbanna, director of the Statewide California Earthquake Center and professor of earth sciences and engineering at the University of Southern California told The Sacramento Bee.
“In order to release the stresses, the stress levels that we are talking about in this study, we need a magnitude 7 or larger earthquake,” Elbanna said.
A quake of that size would be more than 125 times stronger than last week’s magnitude 5.6 earthquake in Mendocino County, which triggered nearly 657,000 early-warning alerts through the MyShake app.
The tremor knocked out power to about 8,000 Pacific Gas & Electric customers, injured several people and caused thousands of dollars in damage after merchandise tumbled from store shelves.
According to the study, a magnitude 7 or larger earthquake could threaten nearly 24 million people across Southern California, including greater Los Angeles and the Inland Empire.
Even before the latest research, scientists agreed the region would eventually experience another major earthquake. (New York Post) Read More
