Visions of Jesus:
Many Muslims Turning to Christ Amid Middle East Conflict
|
|
|
As fighting escalates across the Middle East, millions – mostly Muslims – are suffering, losing their families and homes while facing an uncertain future. Yet amid the devastation, one missionary to Muslims, Pastor Georges Houssney of Horizons International, says many are beginning to question Islam and turn to Jesus Christ.
CBN News met Pastor Houssney and a group of former Kurdish Muslims-turned-Christians from Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq in Seoul, South Korea. They say they now experience a freedom they had never known before. Once restricted by their former beliefs, they now share in churches about finding new life in Christ and how God is moving among Muslims today. Pastor Houssney has spent more than 50 years ministering to Muslims, especially among the Kurdish people. In 1973, he helped translate the Bible into the Kurdish language so many could understand the gospel for the first time.
Today, with nearly 40 million Kurds scattered around the world, Pastor Houssney says spiritual openness is growing. "Every time there's a war, there's a great movement toward Christ," Houssney said. "People become disillusioned with the world and with religion that causes war. Khamenei in Iran and Bin Laden – those two made a huge difference for the gospel because they gave false hope. There are those who ask, 'Why are we following this religion of destruction, killing, and murder?' And so they are flocking into the Kingdom through Jesus Christ."

Abba, we are filled with JOY each time we hear a report of Muslims surrendering their lives to Jesus Christ! We pray for workers to be called into the field and an abundant harvest to enter into Your holy Kingdom. Bless our brothers and sisters in the Middle East and place Your hedge of protection around them. May their transformation and testimony of experiencing Jesus Christ open doors for others to also surrender to our Lord and Savior. We give You all the GLORY for Hope in abundance and Living Waters which flow from Your Fountain of Life. In the mighty Blood and Name of Yeshua, we pray- Amen.
"They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light." (Psalm 36:8-9)

Trump storms off 'Meet the Press' interview, rips Welker, ABC, CBS, CNN as 'crooked'
|
|
|
President Donald Trump abruptly ended a tense "Meet the Press" interview with host Kristen Welker in Wisconsin Sunday after she repeatedly challenged his claims about election fraud, California’s vote count and his proposed "anti-weaponization" fund.
Trump cut off the interview after accusing NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN of being "crooked" during a final exchange over his claims about U.S. elections.
"You’re a one-sided crooked network," Trump told Welker. "Sorry. Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time."
The exchange escalated during the final block, when Welker pressed Trump on a proposed $1.8 billion fund intended to compensate people who said they were targeted by the former President Joe Biden administration’s alleged "weaponization" of government.
Welker asked Trump whether he was moving away from the fund after acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the administration would not move forward with it.
"Just to be very clear, are you backing off the fund completely as your acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, has said, or are you looking for another avenue to revive the fund?" Welker asked.
Trump defended the proposal and said people had been harmed by officials in the Biden administration. (Fox News) Read more

Homan accuses Democrats of 'lying' about Delaney Hall conditions after surprise ICE facility visit
|
|
|
Homan says Democrats want to shut down detention centers and abolish ICE
|
|
|
Border czar Tom Homan pushed back on Democrats' claims about conditions at a New Jersey ICE facility on Saturday, saying a surprise visit found detainees receiving substantial meals, access to recreation and orderly housing accommodations.
"The Democratic politicians were lying. They're enticing these protests with their lies," Homan told Fox News' Lara Trump, referring to recent outrage at Newark's Delaney Hall.
The Trump border czar disputed reports of a hunger strike at the facility, saying one detainee attempted to start a strike but was ultimately unsuccessful. He also disputed claims that the facility's conditions are poor, detailing his own surprise tour of the center's medical facilities, recreation areas, housing units and bathrooms.
"I even did a surprise visit on Saturday, unannounced, to eat lunch because I was told the food was bad," Homan said. "So I sat in the cafeteria right along with the detainees."
Homan said he ate the same meal being served to detainees, which included spaghetti with meat sauce, vegetables, rolls and dessert.
"I'm not a small guy. I couldn't finish it off," he recalled.
"It isn't about the quality of detention, it's about detention. They [Democrats] don't want these people detained, right? They want to shut down detention centers, and they want to abolish ICE. That's what it's all about."
Delaney Hall is at the center of a standoff that began after illegal immigrant detainees penned an open letter alleging they live in "inhumane" conditions and claiming they were being denied medical care and adequate food. (Fox News) Read more here.

Noncitizens on voter rolls in Democrat-run state exposed as RNC chair pledges secure elections
|
|
|
Most noncitizens were registered as Democrats and discovered their status while pursuing naturalization, RNC chairman says
|
|
|
Noncitizens in a key blue state were on the voter rolls for years — and some even voted in prior elections, according to documents obtained via public records request.
The New Jersey Republican Party (NJGOP) and the Republican National Committee (RNC) requested voter rolls from all 21 counties in the Garden State and found multiple instances of noncitizens seeking naturalization asking to be removed from the rolls, claiming they were unknowingly registered to vote. Most were registered as Democrats.
Noncitizens cannot vote in state or federal elections, and the candidates for citizenship worried that being on the rolls would disqualify them.
In official letters viewed by Fox News Digital from Atlantic County, Superintendent of Elections & Commissioner of Registration Maureen Bugdon certified that noncitizens came to her asking to be removed.
"Please allow this letter to confirm that on today's date, the below referenced individual came before this office to confirm her registration and voter status," the typical letter reads. "She relayed that she did not wish to be a New Jersey registered voter and does not understand how she became registered through the Department of Motor Vehicles, allegedly."
Most of the letters confirmed that the noncitizens did not have a voting record, but not all.
One noncitizen, who the county said was removed from the rolls in 2015, voted several times in 2000 and 2001, and in the 2008 general election. Another voted in a primary election in 2005 and a municipal election in 2000. (Fox News) Read more here.

Critics mock the new White House ballroom, but modern security is no joke
|
|
|
Every administration has a responsibility to adapt to the realities of the moment
|
|
|
This year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner should have been the same as any other: a beloved, annual tradition that brings together the media, politicians, and administration officials to celebrate our free press, build relationships, and honor the First Amendment. Instead, the event served as a reminder of the urgent need to modernize and secure the White House complex.
The third assassination attempt of President Donald Trump proves these are no longer random acts. This is a pattern.
The reality is that our nation’s security has changed. Risks have evolved, and today’s threats are far more sophisticated than they were even a decade ago. Beyond politics, this is about the safety of modern democratic institutions and the people who work in and visit them every day.
Major events at the White House now require security protocols that often exceed the physical capabilities of the current complex.
The White House Ballroom will address those challenges directly by creating a controlled, secure venue for official gatherings, mitigating unnecessary risk for everyone in attendance. Much as it would protect the president and heads of state, it would also improve safety for journalists, staff, and security personnel working and attending events as well. As threats to high-profile gatherings continue to evolve, so too must the infrastructure designed to prevent them.
Existing White House event and security spaces were designed for a different era, one in which cyber threats, drones, and coordinated security risks were not daily realities. While the White House Military Office and the United States Secret Service continue to adapt with professionalism and precision, physical infrastructure limitations remain. Today, increased national security concerns demand facilities capable of accommodating modern protective measures, including enhanced screening, secure access control, emergency response coordination, and advanced surveillance systems.
The limitations of the White House complex create unnecessary strain on security personnel and operational resources. Large-scale events often require extensive temporary security measures, road closures, and logistical workarounds that divert personnel and taxpayer resources. A purpose-built ballroom will provide a permanent, secure, and efficient solution that strengthens both operational readiness and public safety. (Fox News) Read more here.

|

Lord God, it is absolutely ridiculous to criticize safety improvements, especially at the White House and in the area where the president, staff, and journalists congregate when there have been three assassination attempts. These improvements are obviously for everybody and safety and security is at the utmost concern. We pray that these improvements would be approved, passed, and there will be no more delay right now in the name of Jesus. Amen.
"But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one." (2 Thessalonians 3:3)

1. Israel strikes targets in Iran after missile fire - JNS
The Israel Defense Forces struck military targets in western and central Iran early Monday after the Islamic Republic launched ballistic missile barrages at the Jewish state overnight.
The military said the Israeli Air Force, guided by Military Intelligence, carried out strikes on military targets belonging to the Iranian regime.
IAF fighter jets “completed a large-scale strike on strategic defense systems,” according to a statement.
“Recently, defense systems were deployed in numerous areas across Iran as part of the regime’s efforts to restore its detection and defense capabilities, which were degraded during ‘Operation Roaring Lion.’ The strike led to the dismantling of these systems,” it said. (Read more)

2. Netanyahu: 'If Iran attacks again, we'll respond with force' - Israel National News
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation this evening (Monday), following the announcement that Israel and Iran will not continue their mutual attacks, which began with Iran's launching of waves of ballistic missiles at northern Israel last night, and declared that Israel would not tolerate any further attacks by Iran.
"In the last 24 hours, Iran and Hezbollah have tried to impose a new equation on us, one that is intolerable and unacceptable in my opinion. That they will fire from Lebanese territory at Israel - and we will not act. That will not happen, not on my watch," Netanyahu declared.
According to the Prime Minister, “At the moment, the fire on the Iranian front has been contained, because after we struck the terrorist regime in Tehran, it stopped attacking us. If it returns to attacking us - we will respond with force." (Read more)

4. IDF updates Home Front Command defensive guidelines, removes restrictions across most of Israel - i24 News
The IDF is updating its Home Front Command defensive guidelines, removing almost all restrictions nationwide. This as Iran announced earlier on Monday it halts attacks on Israel and Israel won’t continue to strike Iran in response for the time being.
The removal of the restrictions will go into effect at 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
Starting at 6:00 a.m., most of Israel will transition back to Full Activity level, with no restrictions. Nevertheless, the public is requested to continue following Home Front Command instructions and to stay updated through official communication channels.
However, this will not apply to communities in northern Israel, which will move only to Partial Activity level. This includes educational activities, workplaces, and gatherings and services. For educational activities and workplaces, they may be held in structures or locations from where protected spaces can be reached. Gatherings and services are limited to 100 people outdoors and up to 400 people indoors. (Read more)

5. Hamas Terror Threat Remains High Across Europe as Authorities Arrest Operatives Plotting Attacks - Algemeiner
As concern persists over a potential surge in Hamas-linked attacks in Europe, Greek authorities on Saturday arrested a Palestinian man suspected of being a Hamas operative and of planning a terrorist attack against Israeli targets, in a case that has heightened security fears across the continent.
According to local media, the suspect was believed to be planning an attack on an Israeli cruise liner.
Arriving in Greece from Gaza a year ago, the 37-year-old had been granted asylum and had since been working in a hotel on the island of Crete.
Greek intelligence services had been investigating the suspect over alleged travel abroad for terrorist training, including bomb-making and explosives instruction. (Read more)

1. Congo outbreak could rival the largest Ebola epidemic on record, CDC warns - Washington Post
The Ebola outbreak spreading through the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda could become more devastating than the largest Ebola epidemic in history unless efforts to contain it improve, according to modeling released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
By the time the record-breaking West Africa epidemic from 2014 to 2016 was over, more than 28,000 people had been infected and more than 11,000 had died, according to the World Health Organization.
In one of the CDC’s worst-case scenarios for the current outbreak, more than 20,000 cases would occur within three months if only 1 in 5 infected people are identified and isolated within two days of developing symptoms. (Read more)

2. US Supreme Court backs federal regulators in wins for FCC and SEC - Reuters
WASHINGTON, June 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court in a pair of rulings backing the power of federal agencies has reaffirmed limits it previously imposed on government regulators but rejected bids by challengers to push those constraints into new territory.
The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, issued decisions on Thursday in two cases that went in favor of the Federal Communications Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission. It ruled against challenges to the FCC's system for levying fines and the SEC's broad power to recover illegal profits using a financial remedy called disgorgement.
While the court in several major cases in recent years has embraced challenges to the so-called "administrative state" - the government bureaucracy that regulates many aspects of American business and life - the justices on Thursday stood squarely behind the authority of the two agencies.

3. US judge strikes down Trump policies targeting immigrants from 39 countries - Reuters
A federal judge on Friday ruled that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration had adopted a series of unlawful policies that have barred people from 39 countries from receiving decisions on applications for asylum, work permits, green cards and citizenship.
Chief U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Providence, Rhode Island, struck down a slate of policies that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services had adopted that he said left people from dozens of African, Asian, Latin American and Middle Eastern countries in "indeterminate legal limbo."
He said the immigrants had adhered to the legal processes that Congress had enacted and USCIS had adopted by regulation, yet had been "stuck waiting, for months on end, for benefit requests that USCIS refuses to adjudicate."
The judge, who was appointed by Democratic President Barack Obama, said it adopted the policies without statutory and regulatory authority and based on "anti-immigrant sentiments that it is forbidden from letting influence its decision-making."
"USCIS’s hold on adjudications cannot be attributed to anything that these individuals did wrong; rather, it arises solely by the happenstance of their birth," he wrote.
USCIS adopted the policies as part of a ramped-up immigration crackdown the Trump administration carried out after the November shooting of two National Guard members stationed in Washington, D.C., which prosecutors say was carried out by an Afghan immigrant. (Read more)

4. Iran's military 'totally destroyed' with around 21% missile capacity remaining, Trump claims - Jerusalem Post
US President Donald Trump claimed that Iran’s military has been “totally destroyed” and only has around 21% of its missile capacity left after US-Israeli strikes, during an interview with NBC News’s Kristen Welker on Friday.
“We know where their drones are, and we know where their drone factories are. Most of the drone factories have been knocked out… and most of the missile manufacturing areas have been knocked out,” Trump asserted.
When asked if he knew exactly how many missiles and drones Iran still holds, Trump said he did not want to tell Welker but that he knows “almost to the number” how many of such weapons remain in Tehran’s hands.
“They have some missiles. They have some drones,” Trump stated, adding that percentage-wise, Iran maintains “maybe 21%, 22% of their missiles.” (Read more here)

5. Oil industry warns Trump administration of price spikes within weeks - POLITICO
Industry executives said the loss of oil through the Strait of Hormuz is draining petroleum inventories to dangerously low levels.
The oil industry is warning the Trump administration that a Hormuz-sized hole in the world’s petroleum market is steadily draining inventories to levels that are likely to send global energy prices surging in the next several weeks, according to four executives.
Industry executives have flagged the issue to senior White House officials and Cabinet members in recent weeks as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing dialogue with the U.S. energy industry, the people said. The warnings came as recently as late last month as data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and other sources began showing that fuel makers were increasingly relying on oil and fuel from their storage tanks to replace products no longer arriving from the Middle East.
“We’re at dangerously low levels already,” said one industry executive who was granted anonymity to discuss private conversations with the administration. “We have shared those concerns at the highest levels of government about what’s coming in mid-to-late June. … I hope they are paying attention to inventories right now. You’re hitting tank bottom.
A White House official denied that any senior members of staff have been warned privately by the industry about inventories. “Politico’s anonymous sources are wrong,” the official said. An Energy Department official said that while the agency remains in regular dialogue with energy industry leaders, there have been “no such discussions” about inventories. (Read more here)

And Elisha said, “Give to the men, that they may eat.” But his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred men?” So he repeated, “Give them to the men, that they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’” So he set it before them. And they ate and had some left, according to the word of the Lord." (2 Kings 4:42-44)

The Light and the Tongue
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, June 8, 2026
Beha’alotkha, found in Numbers 8:1-12:16, “when you ascend,” begins with a simple but profound instruction. Aaron and the priests were to keep the lamps of the menorah burning before the Lord, representing God's presence among His people. At the center of the menorah stood the shamash, or servant lamp, used to light all the others. This symbolism points directly to Jesus. In John 8:12, He declared, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Hebrews 1:3 describes Him as “the radiance” of God’s glory. Just as the shamash, Christ shines His light into every corner of our lives, guiding us through a world that often seems increasingly dark and confused.
Only three days after beginning their journey from Mount Sinai, the Israelites started complaining about their hardships, and God heard every word. His response was swift. Fire broke out on the outskirts of the camp until Moses interceded. Then a mixed multitude began complaining again, and their negativity spread throughout the nation. Their gratitude of God's provision disappeared, replaced by dissatisfaction. Human nature has changed very little. Complaining remains contagious. It spreads through families, workplaces, churches, social media, and communities. The more people dwell on frustrations, the more darkness grows. Gratitude works differently. Thankfulness redirects our attention toward God's faithfulness. As Paul instructed in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Read More

Antifa Mob Gathers Outside TPUSA Event, Violence and Arrests Quickly Unfold
|
|
|
|
SAN ANTONIO—A violent Antifa protest erupted outside the Turning Point Women’s Leadership Summit in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday. After protesters attempted, but failed, to storm into the event through a police blockade, the violence escalated.
One man, who had been pepper-sprayed for storming police, was seen washing his eyes with water from a plastic bottle. He immediately threw the bottle at a nearby police officer and ran. The protester was caught. Though he resisted arrest, he was thrown to the ground and taken away.
TPUSA Protestors Left SPEECHLESS when asked why they’re protesting
The Daily Signal spoke with a group of violent protesters outside the Turning Point Women’s Leadership Summit in San Antonio Texas. After one was arrested for assaulting a police officer many couldn’t answer why…
A woman then attacked an arresting police officer with her wooden 6-foot-tall flagpole and took off, seeming to evade arrest. Police told the Daily Signal they could not immediately comment on either protester’s arrest or charges.
Some, part of the mob, were seen wearing Antifa imagery and could be heard chanting slurs and threats to attendees.
Some chants included “Erika Kirk go to hell—it is right to rebel,” “Listen Kirk, hear us scream. “Be as loud as you can. Be as obnoxious as you can. Make these people hate us. Make sure they know you hate them,” and even, “Charlie Kirk deserved to die.” (The Daily Signal) Read more here.

Holy Father,
We ask Your forgiveness for the violence that seems to have overtaken our nation and for wisdom in how to change it. Thank You, Lord, that the police were able to hold back the mob that were protesting the TPUSA Women's Leadership Summit.
Lord, infiltrate the hearts of those who are so lost in sin that they do not even know the reasons they are protesting and change their mindsets. Let the wickedness of this world come to an end as Your Holy Spirit falls on the unrighteous leading them to the cross of Calvary. Father, give direction and a Godly purpose to our young adults so that they may lead a productive, righteous life. Continue, Lord, to bless Erika Kirk and TPUSA as they keep the Spirit of Righteousness alive through what Charlie Kirk started in America. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen and Amen.
"The hope of the righteous shall be gladness; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish." (Proverbs 10:28)

Israel Strikes Iran After Tehran’s Missile Attack
|
|
|
|
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said early June 8 that its forces have struck Iranian military targets in “western and central Iran.”
Iran’s paramilitary said Israel fired air-launched ballistic missile to its territory early June 8 but provided no details on any damage or casualties.
Explosions were heard in some areas including Isfahan, Karaj, Tabriz, and Tehran, forcing Iran to close the airspace around the Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran, according to state television.
The strikes came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran after its regime fired a barrage of missiles at Israel late on June 7.
“I am going to call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate. Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike, and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one,” Trump told Axios.
“We are very close to a final deal with Iran,” the president said. “It is going to be a good deal. I don’t want it to blow up because of what is happening now.”
Several Israeli officials issued statements indicating their country is ready to retaliate with full force.
Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, said in a post on X that Iran fired missiles at Israel late Sunday and early Monday but that the projectiles were intercepted.
In a subsequent post on June 8, Huckabee reported hearing “loud booms overheard” and said he was taking shelter. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

Jehovah Adonai,
You are the righteous judge that defends Your nation, Israel. Forgive the nations of this world and America for trying to call 'the shots' where Israel is concerned. We ask that the pride of men will fall to the ground and come to nothing!
We thank You, Lord, that the missiles that were fired against Israel from Iran were intercepted as Israel continues to protect herself from hostile regimes. We pray for divine guidance and direction for PM Netanyahu and for President Trump as the administrations try to establish peace and bring an end to the wicked regime in Iran. We bless our President as he stays in unity with Your Word concerning Israel.
Lord, You are the only one who can command peace into existence in nations that have been at war with each other since the beginning of time. We pray, Lord Jesus, that You will not allow anything to happen out of Your timing concerning Israel.
"And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." (James 2:18)

Americans travel to Pakistan to free Christians trapped in modern-day slavery: 'God's hand was in it'
|
|
|
|
It costs about $8,500 per family to break the cycle of bonded labor
|
|
|
Idaho resident Aaron Hutchings arrived at a Pakistani brick factory in January. The devout Christian told Fox News Digital that he was shocked to see children turning bricks under the hot sun to work off the debts that their families had incurred, sometimes over the course of generations.
Within hours of his arrival, Hutchings paid off the debts for two enslaved Christian families and escorted them to freedom, breaking the "curse that they’ve had for hundreds of years."
There are up to one million Christians working in slave and bonded labor in Pakistan, according to Emma Hall, a persecution researcher working with charity Open Doors U.K. and Ireland, told Fox News Digital. This could comprise as much as 30% of Pakistani Christians, counted at 3.3 million in the 2023 census and accounting for 1.37 percent of the population.
Hall noted that "extreme poverty drives desperate families to accept advance loans (peshgri) for emergency and basic needs, trapping them in cycles of debt bondage where repayment systems are structured in ways that make exit extremely difficult."
Emmanuel Hernandez said he was shocked when he first heard that Christians in Pakistan were living in debt-based enslavement in Pakistan’s brick-making industry. After traveling to Pakistan to meet the woman who would later become his wife, Hernandez witnessed bonded laborers at a brick factory for the first time.
"Never in my life have I seen such hopelessness," he told Fox News Digital. "At that moment, I committed myself to rescuing one family a year for the rest of my life."
In January 2025, Hernandez started the nonprofit Project Jubilee. He says that it is "by the grace of God" that people have already donated enough through the nonprofit to save 300 Pakistanis from slavery. (Fox News) Read more here.

Lord God,
We thank You for Aaron Hutchings and his ability to free Christian families and their children in Pakistan from slavery and bonded labor, breaking the curse that they have been under for hundreds of years.
Father, we pray that Mr. Hutchings and the International Faith Foundation will get the fundings that they need to free many more Christians out of bondage and hardships and to go forth and continue in the callings that You have given to them. Release the blessings of heaven over all ministries and organizations that are truly fulfilling the work of Your kingdom here on this earth. We humbly offer this prayer. In Jesus' name. Amen.
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek. He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound." (Isaiah 61:1)

Prayer for the Midterms
City-by-City.org

|

Father, We come before You with humility, seeking Your wisdom and mercy over our nation during this season of midterm elections. Your Word says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” We ask that Your hand would guide every step of this process.
Lord, we pray for candidates who value righteousness, who respect and protect the Constitution, and who understand that public service is a calling, not a pursuit of personal gain. Your Word reminds us, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice.” Lord, raise up righteous leaders! Raise up leaders of integrity—men and women who love justice, walk humbly with You, and govern with wisdom and courage.
We ask that those seeking office would surround themselves with godly counsel for where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety. May they follow godly counsel and grant them discernment, humility, and boldness to do what is right rather than what is easy or popular.
Father, we lift up the election process itself. We ask for transparency, order, and truth at every level. Where there are concerns—bloated voter rolls, absentee ballot inconsistencies, voting machine irregularities, or procedures not followed—we pray for exposure of error, correction of wrongdoing, and accountability rooted in truth. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed.
We also ask for protection from outside influences—foreign or domestic—that seek to manipulate, interfere with, or undermine the will of the people. We declare that no weapon formed against us or our nation shall prosper. Guard our systems from intrusion, deception, and coercion. Give wisdom and vigilance to those entrusted with safeguarding elections, and establish strong barriers that preserve fairness and sovereignty.
Protect election workers, poll watchers, and officials. Give them diligence and integrity, for it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. Guard them from corruption, intimidation, or negligence, and restore confidence in the systems meant to serve the people.
Above all, Lord, we submit ourselves to You. You said, righteousness exalts a nation and we pray that America would move back to that foundation. Heal divisions, calm anxious hearts, and remind us that our ultimate hope is not in governments or leaders, but in You alone. Father, we trust You with all our heart, and lean not on our own understanding, but seek Your plan and purpose for our nation and the elections this year. We place this election, and our country, into Your hands, and ask that Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Why Israel Refuses To Leave Hezbollah Alone: Preventing Another October 7
|
|
|
As President Trump works to preserve a fragile peace process with Iran, the Middle East once again finds itself on the edge of a wider war.
Over the past 24 hours, Iran launched another round of missile attacks against Israel following Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, threatening to unravel weeks of diplomatic efforts aimed at stabilizing the region. Israel has now retaliated destroying numerous Iranian targets across the country. Trump continues pushing for a broader agreement that could reduce tensions between Israel, Iran, and their respective allies, but the latest violence highlights a reality many outside observers fail to understand.
For Israel, the Hezbollah problem cannot simply be negotiated away.
To many diplomats, Hezbollah is merely one piece of a larger regional puzzle. To Israel, Hezbollah represents an existential threat sitting directly on its northern border--a threat that Israeli intelligence believes recently came within moments of carrying out a second October 7.
That context is critical to understanding why Israel continues to push aggressively against Hezbollah positions in Lebanon despite international pressure, ceasefire discussions, and ongoing peace negotiations. Israeli leaders are not simply fighting today's battles. They are attempting to ensure that a nightmare they believe was narrowly avoided can never happen again.
The reason is chilling. (Prophecy News Watch) Read More

"He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
He catches the wise in their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them."

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name."
