Millions Encouraged to Open Their Bibles for Global Bible Month 
Psalm 119 describes God's Word as "a lamp for my feet and a light on my path." Throughout November, Bible apps, ministries, and even retailers hope to spark a light worldwide with a challenge to read God's Word daily.  Global Bible Month is a 30-day challenge that brings together organizations like Walmart, Hobby Lobby and the YouVersion Bible App with a shared goal of encouraging people to place Scripture at the center of their lives. Whether through a physical Bible or a digital app, the initiative encourages people to make God's Word a daily priority.
 
As the challenge enters its second year, YouVersion Bible App founder Bobby Gruenewald says the 2026 campaign will put God's Word on display in some of the world's busiest places. "We have people that created 30-day Bible plans. I think there's hundreds of our partners that have created special plans for Global Bible Month. We actually celebrate the Bible in Times Square, and Piccadilly Circus in London, and just different iconic places around the world," Gruenewald said. (CBN) Read More Here and Watch Video 
Abba, we celebrate the 'Global Bible Month' initiative for the month of November.  We pray for unified efforts between Christian organizations to cause an insatiable thirst towards following Jesus Christ. May reading God's holy Word daily, spark a love for studying scripture. We pray all believers around the world will be encouraged through consecrated time with the Lord, creating a habit of spending hours at His feet and in their own prayer-closets.  We give You all the GLORY for world-wide impact in the lives of Your saints, as they receive wisdom and ordained assignments from You! By the Blood of the Lamb, we pray- Amen and Amen.

 With Divided Government, Trump Enters Gridlocked Final Years 
Some believe a hostile Congress will block the president’s agenda or pursue impeachment. The president has said he is ready to work across the aisle.
Following a midterm “blue tsunami” that handed Democrats majorities in both the House and Senate, attention has shifted to how President Donald Trump will navigate a divided Washington through the end of his term in January 2029.

Some believe a hostile Congress will block the president’s agenda or pursue impeachment, but Trump has said he is ready to work across the aisle.
It remains uncertain whether this divided government will result in total gridlock or surprising policy wins for Trump over the next two years.

Luke Nichter, professor of presidential studies at Chapman University in Orange, California, questions whether Democrats truly want to work with Trump.
“The question is: Do Democrats want compromise or do they want revenge? Because I think we all know that the investigations in the House are going to start almost right away in January,” he told (The Epoch Times). Read more
Abba, our nation is in shock based on Your decisions for our midterm elections, forgive us for where we missed You.  The final 2 years of President Trump's presidency have the potential to be very difficult, we ask You to intervene and keep the upheaval from stopping laws being passed, committees meeting, and all the other tasks to be done. Holy Spirit, there are many people who are experiencing very negative emotions, send out Your angels and pour peace into those hurting hearts, send out Your truth into every heart in our nation, give us the awareness of Your presence with us. 
 
Jesus, we ask You to put a hedge of fire around those who have been threatened.  We ask Holy Spirit to put angels around those who You know intend to be violent, to keep them from hurting themselves or others.  Yahweh Sabaoth, we ask You to put an end to the battle for the heart of our nation, send demonic powers back to where they came from, let Your Spirit be poured out across our nation and the world, restore us to a nation that is TRULY One Nation Under YOU.  We ask this in the name El Gibhor, Mighty God, the God who will accomplish the destruction of His enemies.
 
"God is mighty, but despises no one;
         he is mighty, and firm in his purposes."

JD Vance Says "Everyone Knows Why We Lost" in Fiery Post-Election Message 
Americans who turned to the Republican Party in 2024 to get the job done turned away from it Tuesday due to the Iran war, Vice President J.D. Vance wrote Wednesday in his post-election analysis.

In his post on X,  he quoted what he called the “smartest data guy I know” as telling him that “data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us.’”

As the potential 2028 Republican presidential candidate noted, “that looks prophetic now,” adding,  “The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.”

“There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is,” he posted, adding, “But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.”

“The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night. If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that’s at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there,” he wrote. (Western Journal) Read more
 
Abba, VP Vance is acknowledging that the fallout from the Iranian war is the reason for the Republican loss in this midterm.  He is correct, the cost of gas, food  and just about every essential for families to live day to day has gone up significantly since the war started.  Father God, we ask You to intervene in these circumstances and bring down the expense that is making it impossible for everyone to live a normal life.  We ask Holy Spirit to send out angels to open passages to allow oil to move smoothly, increase, supernaturally, the production of diesel so goods can be shipped to stores as they need to be, let Your abundance fall on all of our nation, easing the difficulties that the war has created.  We ask this in the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has ultimate power over all things.
 
"But the Lord Almighty will be exalted by his justice, and
            the holy God will be proved holy by his righteous acts."

 Israeli Newspapers Sound Alarm Over Democratic Sweep: "Can't Afford to Ignore"  
Israel's leading outlets reacted with alarm on Wednesday after the Democratic Party captured both the US House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections, warning that lawmakers opposed to US military aid to Israel are heading to Congress in growing numbers. 

At least 11 Democrats who have backed Palestinian rights and opposed US military support for Israel won seats across both chambers, swelling the ranks of Tel Aviv's critics in the US legislature. 

Channel 14, a network aligned with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, called the outcome a "major blow to Trump and Israel," expecting Democrats in charge of the foreign affairs, defense, and appropriations committees to put US weapons sales and deliveries to Israel under a far harsher spotlight. 

Yedioth Ahronoth branded the vote a "historic blue tsunami" and a humiliating defeat for US President Donald Trump, noting that Democrats broke through in districts once considered safely Republican, and are now positioned to obstruct legislation favorable to Israel. 

The Jerusalem Post blamed the sweeping Republican loss chiefly on the US-Israeli war on Iran, launched on February 28, warning that the rise of Israel’s critics in Washington "represents a shift that Israel cannot afford to ignore." (Zero Hedge) Read more
Abba, help!!  The enemy's raging in the US has undermined our relationship with Your people, Israel, deeply impacting our midterm elections.  The Democratic Socialists of America have made inroads into our congress that are frightening, but more importantly, they are supporters of anti-semitism, they hate Your people.  Father God, none of this is news to You, You knew this was coming and You have a pathway already in place for us to walk this out with You.  We ask for new open doors and avenues for the US and Israel to work together, to support one another, to complete Your intentions for Iran.  Holy Spirit, You know the plans that Iran has to attack Israel as well as the US once President Trump is out of office, we ask that You stop those plans now.  We ask for the new Israeli government to create a strong deterrent against Iran.  We ask that Your plans for Iran will be brought to fruition before Your son, Donald, is out of office.  We ask for clear and obvious directives from You that Israel and the US can agree on, that You will provide supernatural information and intelligence as Your plan is completed.  We ask this in the name Yahweh Palet, The Lord Our Deliverer.

Seven Silver Linings for the GOP and America After Midterm Obliteration
The night was a rout. Democrats seized both chambers of Congress in a blue tsunami that reached places Republicans treated as permanent. James Talarico defeated Ken Paxton in Texas. Adam Hamilton ended nearly a century of Republican Senate control in Kansas. Annie Andrews took South Carolina. Flips landed in Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina, Michigan, and Maine.
The establishment spent two years with the trifecta and delivered this next to nothing outside of the Big Beautiful Bill, and that wasn’t really a challenge with reconciliation. But not all is lost. President Trump has veto power. Stalemate is fine, especially in DC. So cheer up! Here is why the night still contains silver linings for the GOP and for the country.

America Gets a Full Preview of the Democrat Agenda Before 2028
Voters just handed Democrats the keys. They will use them. Expect the full menu: investigations, spending, amnesty pushes, impeachments, and the DSA-adjacent priorities that candidates like Talarico have already telegraphed.

The GOP Establishment Can No Longer Pretend Their Stewardship Worked
John Thune and Mike Johnson spent the last two years insisting the majority was delivering. They passed what they could pass, which wasn’t pretty much zilch in the Senate. They managed the margins. They stayed polite. The results arrived anyway.

Trump’s Executive Authority Remains Intact for Two Years
Congress can obstruct. It cannot erase the presidency. Deportations, regulatory rollbacks, foreign policy pressure, and appointments that do not require Senate confirmation continue. The veto pen still works. The bully pulpit still works.

The Base Will Demand Real Accountability Instead of Excuses
Finger-pointing has already begun inside the House conference. Members who watched safe seats evaporate are not interested in another round of “we did the best we could with the tools we had.” The midterm results strip the establishment of its favorite defense. They had the majority. They had the president. They still lost seats that had not gone Democratic in decades.

Cultural and Economic Pain Will Create a Clearer Contrast
High prices, energy costs, and the ongoing consequences of open-border policies do not vanish because Democrats now control Congress. They become harder to blame exclusively on the previous administration once the new majority has had time to act. When Democratic priorities on spending, regulation, and cultural enforcement produce the predictable results, the argument shifts from “Republicans are extreme” to “this is what they actually do.”

A 2028 MAGA Reshuffle
There will be death knells regarding the MAGA movement. Heck, those bells were starting to ring before the midterms, and even before the Iran War. But it’s not dead. Not yet. It just needs to be reshuffled and prepared for leaders to step up.

Faithful Americans Will Finally Stop Looking to Politics for Salvation
This is the one that matters. For years a large share of the church treated elections as the decisive battlefield. Vote hard enough, organize hard enough, win the right majorities, and the culture would turn. The results keep arriving anyway. The country drifts. The institutions capture themselves. The same patterns repeat.

Politics can restrain evil. It cannot redeem it. Culture can be influenced. It cannot be saved by legislation or court appointments. The obliteration of the GOP majority is painful. It is also clarifying. The work that actually endures is not another cycle of fundraising and messaging. It is doing the will of God, spreading the Gospel, and refusing to be absorbed by the world that is passing away.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Abba, thank You for Mr. Rucker's perspective and encouragement!  We ask You to guide and direct President Trump as he reads this article, to ask You about each one of  these "silver linings", to see what You would say about the best way to utilize each one between now and the end of his term.  We ask for supernatural vision as You show him how You plan to intervene and increase the MAGA understanding of what Your plan is and how to walk it out.  We ask Holy Spirit to send angels out across our nation, pour out truth, give Your kids discernment to see through any lies that are told, any words spoken that hold negative intentions, those who stand against You, so we can pray over them as You lead.  Jesus, we ask for Your perfect will to be done during the last 2 years of President Trump's term.  We ask this in the name Yahweh Magen, The Lord Our Shield.
 
"But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
          my glory, the One who lifts my head high."

FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Eisenkot set to receive mandate to form Israeli gov't as Herzog rounds out consultation meetings - Jerusalem Post

Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot is expected to receive the mandate to form a government from President Isaac Herzog on Thursday, after receiving 67 recommendations from consultations Herzog held throughout the week with all the parties that will serve in the incoming Knesset.

Following the consultations, Herzog announced that he would grant the mandate to one of the candidates on Sunday, adding he intends to meet with several party heads in private over the weekend to "leave no stone unturned to bring about the formation of a good, stable government for the people of Israel."

Eisenkot received the backing of both Arab parties, Ra’am and the Joint List, although their recommendations do not commit them to ultimately joining his coalition. (Read more)

2. Joint List endorses Eisenkot, says decision 'was not easy' - Israel National News

The Arab Joint List announced on Thursday that it will recommend Yashar Party Chairman Gadi Eisenkot to President Isaac Herzog to form the next Israeli government.

"We decided unanimously, after consultations between the components of the list. It was not an easy decision. Despite our determination to topple Netanyahu, the opposition camp led by Eisenkot has yet to demonstrate the necessary willingness to contend with Netanyahu's path and to fight the incitement against the Arab civilians and the challenge to the legitimacy of their political decision," the party wrote in a statement.

Earlier in the day, the United Arab List (Ra'am) also recommended Eisenkot. During the consultation meeting, President Isaac Herzog asked the chairman of the party, MK Mansour Abbas, whether he considers Hamas a terrorist organization. (Read more)

3. Netanyahu: Government reliant on Islamists would ‘tear us apart’ - JNS

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Wednesday that an Israeli government dependent on Islamist parties would be unable to confront radical Islam and would “tear us apart from within.”

Writing on X, the premier called the prospect “a matter of our very survival.”

Netanyahu renewed his call for a broad national government led by his Likud party. It would include all members of his right-wing political bloc, as well as any Zionist parties willing to join.

He accused opposition leaders of putting political interests first by pursuing a minority government that would depend on parties he described as supporters of terrorism.

4. The Islamic State Threat Against Israel Is Growing — and Much of It Has Gone Unnoticed - Algemeiner

While Israel has focused much of its security attention on Iran and its regional proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic State (IS) has quietly intensified its campaign against the Jewish state, mounting an unprecedented wave of plots and attempted attacks that has largely escaped international attention.

According to a database compiled by Aaron Zelin, a senior research fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Israeli security forces have disrupted more plots by the jihadist terror group since the Hamas-led invasion of and massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, than during the entire nine-and-a-half years preceding it.

Between 2014 and 2023, Israeli forces conducted 50 IS-related arrest operations, compared with 46 in the period since the Oct. 7 atrocities, marking a significant surge in the group’s attempted attacks and operational activity. (Read more)

Ahead of the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass), police leaders from Germany, Europe, and the United States gathered at a synagogue in Berlin on Thursday to address rising antisemitism and the protection of Jewish communities.

"Not on Our Watch," a global law-enforcement partnership with the International March of the Living, organized the gathering.

George Shefi, 94, one of the last surviving victims of Kristallnacht, spoke at the gathering alongside Jochen Kopelke, chair of the German Police Union. (Read more)

1. US Midterm Results Make Unity Gov’t with Netanyahu Impossible, Israeli Opposition Leaders Claim – All Israel News

Following the catastrophic losses for Republicans in the U.S. midterm elections, including a series of wins by vocally anti-Israel Democratic candidates, several Israeli opposition leaders say this has had a significant impact on coalition talks in Israel.
Yair Lapid, the outgoing opposition leader and No. 2 in the Together (B'Yachad) party, said that the clash between Shin Bet and the attorney general, together with “the election results in America in the morning have one unexpected consequence: they eliminate any possibility of a unity government led by Netanyahu.”

“Israel cannot afford to let him remain prime minister,” Lapid said. “It endangers security, it endangers democracy, and it will devastate us internationally.” Following the same logic, "The Democrats" party chairman Yair Golan said the midterm results “reveal just how toxic Netanyahu is among both Democrats and Republicans.” Read more  
Lord, we pray that in spite of the "naysayers" that a Unity government would be formed with Netanyahu leading. He will still get to work with Trump for the remainder of Trump's term. We pray that these two set apart and chosen leaders for this time and day would be able to finish what they began, in defending the free world against the onslaught of evil coming from Iran and all its terror proxies. Father, would you please grant favor to Netanyahu, and make it possible for him to form a unity government, in Jesus' name, amen!

With one who hates peace.
I am for peace;
But when I speak, they

2. The Red-Green Alliance Has Seized New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District – Discern Report

In this RAIR Foundation article, staff writers report that Egyptian-born surgeon Adam Hamawy is headed to Congress from New Jersey’s 12th District, and they label his past associations with the Blind Sheikh a national-security threat.

  • RAIR alleges Hamawy spent years in the inner circle of Omar Abdel-Rahman, traveled with him, and attended the 1991 Detroit conference where Abdel-Rahman declared jihad “the pinnacle of Islam,” called for the conquest of the land of the infidels, and branded Egypt’s president “the loyal dog of America.”
  • Under oath, Hamawy tried to dismiss the gathering as a harmless “Islamic economy” conference; prosecutors produced the transcript and the account collapsed. He also volunteered with the Benevolence International Foundation, later shut down as a logistical front for Al-Qaeda.
  • The piece notes he will receive classified intelligence briefings and vote on counterterrorism funding. It frames the win as the Red-Green Alliance capturing the New York–New Jersey corridor one district at a time, after “New York City has fallen to Zohran Mamdani.” Read more 

Father, we see this Red-Green alliance and how its tentacles are reaching into the hallways of our Congress, this partnership between the red Woke Left of Socialism/Communism and the green Radical Islam. They have a shared contempt for the God of Israel and for the people of Israel (the Jews). Abba, we ask that this partnership would unravel, rip and tear apart, and that they would be ineffective in accomplishing their goals. We ask for your protection over Israel and over the USA from this dangerous ideology from seizing reigns of power in the government. In Jesus' name, amen

"So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH

3. How The Historic Blue Tsunami Could End In Tears For Democrats – ZeroHedge

Democrats are celebrating one of their biggest midterm victories in decades, but their historic triumph could come with a nasty political hangover. The party's sweeping gains in Tuesday's elections delivered a major rebuke to President Donald Trump, as voter frustration over the Iran war, soaring gas prices and the cost of living fueled a nationwide Democratic surge.

However, the New York Post's Isaac Schorr argued in an op-ed that Democrats' biggest victory could quickly become their next political headache. The problem is simple: Trump isn't going anywhere.

Schorr argues that even with Congress under Democratic control, Trump's veto power could prevent the party from delivering on its legislative agenda: "With President Donald Trump in the White House and his veto pen in hand, they won't be able to push through any of their major agenda items" Read more

Lord God,

You raise men up and You bring them down in Your appointed timing. As the Democratic party boasts and exalts themselves about their 'Blue Tsunami', You are planning a time when their prideful arrogance will cause them to fall by the wayside.
We pray, Father, for the Democratic party to now examine their platform and turn away from Communist and Islamic values that seek to destroy America.

Thank you, Father, that President Trump is still the leader of this great nation and holds the veto power in his hand so that this demonic platform cannot pass any of the ridiculous bills that they will try and bring forth. Lord, You are King and the defender of America and You will watch over the good and the evil, bringing down anything that is not of You.

We continue to pray repentance for those who do not know You as their Lord and we pray for angels to chase them until they see the truth of their ways. As for those of us who know You as our Father, we will still praise You, Lord, and seek Your face. Amen and Amen.

"For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end-it will not lie. if it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay." (Habakkuk 2:3) 

4. Florida congressman diagnoses GOP's blue tsunami losses: 'We failed to make them think we cared about them' – Fox News

As Republicans sift through the wreckage of a devastating election night that handed Democrats control of both chambers of Congress by large margins, one Florida Republican who bucked the national trend says the GOP fundamentally misread the electorate.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Congressman Randy Fine — who expanded his own winning margin by five points despite the national backlash — offered a candid assessment of his party's shortcomings and warned that Republicans must now prepare for an "ugly two years" battling Democrats over immigration and other contentious issues.

While Republicans held their ground in Florida, winning the governor's mansion, the Senate race, and maintaining their 20-8 edge in the US House, nationally the GOP got crushed under the weight of a blue tsunami. Read more 

Holy One,

We thank You, Lord, for allowing Congressman, Randy Fine of Florida, to keep his seat in Congress. Father, we pray that as Florida and our other states examine why this blue wave gave so many seats to the Democrats in this election, that we examine the reasons from the inside out.

Lord, thank You that the Republicans held their ground in Florida, winning the Governor's mansion, Senate race and maintained their edge in the US House. Lord, teach our other states to learn to hold their ground, casting down everything that would exalt itself against the word of God! It is written..."God will rescue me from my fears and troubles, and free us all from the traps set by our enemies." As for our houses..."We will serve the Lord." In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen and Amen.

"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness if from Me," says the Lord." (Isaiah 54:17) 

5. Republicans, Take Note: Ballot Measure Success in Face of Blue Wave Shows Voters Still Want Conservative Policies – Western Journal

Taking a lesson from a loss is important, but taking the right lesson from a loss is vital.

And as conservatives and Republicans reckon with the results of Tuesday’s wave of Democratic victories, recognizing where voters actually agreed with Republican policies while voting for Democratic candidates will be the foundation for elections in the future.

Because Republicans can’t afford to get that wrong.
As National Review reported Wednesday, referendums on guarding election security — a conservative cornerstone bitterly opposed by the left — sailed to victory, even while Democratic candidates won at the polls.

And it wasn’t just election integrity that mattered.
In Arizona, a ballot measure to protect girls’ interscholastic and intramural sports (as well as locker rooms) from being invaded by biological males passed with a convincing 58.9 percent of the vote, according to KJZZ-FM.

In Nebraska, voters approved a similar measure with almost 68 percent of the vote, according to The Hill. And even in liberal-dominated Washington state, an initiative to keep boys’ and girls’ sports reserved for boys and girls was on the road to passage with more than 55 percent of the vote, according to The New York Times. Read more

Holy God,

We ask You to show each one of us, in our own jurisdictions, to take the right lessons from our losses. Lord God, there are many, many lessons to be learned from this week's midterm elections -- some for our chastening and some for our edification. Lord God, help each one of us to not miss this moment, but to hear and to understand what You are saying through these results. Thank You, Holy One, for hearing
our prayers, amen and amen.

"In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."            (I Thessalonians 5:18)  
6. Erika Kirk Channels Charlie With Blunt Message to Conservatives After GOP Midterm Losses – Fox News

The Turning Point USA founder's widow urged conservatives to reject infighting and refocus on voters' economic concerns
Erika Kirk had a message for conservatives reeling from Republican election setbacks, and she turned to her late husband Charlie’s words to deliver it.
"I miss Charlie so much every single day, but especially on a day like today," she wrote.
"He always said that when things are going well, we need to stay humble. And when things aren’t going the way we want, we need to stay positive, keep our faith, and get back to work."
The widow of Turning Point USA CEO and founder Charlie Kirk said her husband had built a political operation meant to endure both victories and defeats.
"Charlie’s vision for Turning Point Action was always bigger than one election," she wrote. "He wanted a permanent, year-round operation with the people, relationships, and resources to compete in every cycle.
"He knew there would be victories and setbacks because he had experienced both and that’s why he built for both." Read more 

Lord God, today we honor the memory of Charlie Kirk for his work and love for You and on behalf of his family and our nation. We thank You for his wife, Erika, for all of Charlie that she brings to our table since his demise to encourage and instruct the Body of Christ at this agonizing time after the midterms.
 
The wisdom from the Kirks is wisdom gained from You:  May we as Christians, first, Republicans second, walk in forgiveness and be at peace with one another, continuing to look to You for comfort, encouragement, direction, and above all, to continue to “fight the good fight”, and not grow weary in what You have called us to at this difficult point in time. May we as Republicans and as a nation, learn from these trying circumstances that we may become more sensitive to Your Spirit and the needs of the American people. May we have Your perspective on this setback as You make it work for good.  In Yeshua’s mighty name we pray, Amen!

"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.  For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found."       (Psalm 37:7-10)

When Freedom is Challenged Under the Guise of Religion

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, November 5, 2026

NOTE: When writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.

America's Constitution is the law of the land. Islamic political movements seeking to impose Sharia through coercion pose a serious threat to our freedoms. Religious liberty deserves protection, but national security demands enforcement of immigration law.

In November 2015, The Daily Jot raised a question that remains relevant today: Can the United States legally admit immigrants who advocate replacing our constitutional government with a religious or political system imposed through force? The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 established restrictions on admitting foreigners who threaten national security or seek to overthrow the government. Those provisions remain in effect, although amended over the years. The issue deserves renewed attention concerning Islamic political movements advocating Sharia as the supreme governing authority, particularly those willing to impose it through violence or unlawful means. This is a threat to America.

Section 212(a)(3)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, codified at 8 U.S.C. §1182, makes inadmissible foreigners seeking entry to overthrow or control the American government through force, violence, or other unlawful means. Additional provisions address terrorism, while Section 313 restricts naturalization for certain advocates of unconstitutional overthrow. These are substantial protections established by Congress. Islam encompasses diverse religious and political interpretations, including movements seeking government under Sharia. The critical legal distinction concerns those actively pursuing the unlawful replacement of constitutional government. Religious convictions alone do not establish inadmissibility. Evidence of terrorist involvement, unlawful intentions, or other statutory grounds can. Read More

Watch: El-Sayed's First Words as Sen. Elect Confirm Our Worst Fears - We Were Right About Everything 
Michigan Democratic Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed took the opportunity during his victory speech to remind Michiganders and Americans that his victory was not for them, but a critical step in Islam’s occupation of our country and its public offices.

Addressing euphoric supporters Tuesday evening after his victory over Republican candidate Mike Rogers, the newly elected, widely grinning El-Sayed told them, stressing every syllable, “My name is Abdulrahman Mohammad El-Sayed.”

After expressing joy in victory, he continued, “Up until right about now, you might have noticed I always said inshallah or god willing whenever the outcome of this race was mentioned.”

“But today, tonight, we can turn that inshallah into alhamdulillah.”

The election is over, and El-Sayed has no need to tone it down. He doesn’t have any intention of being an American public official. He intends to be an Islamic one.

Oh God, Holy One, we bow before you today, asking the forgiveness that only You can give. We repent that so many of us have allowed ourselves to be fooled the by rhetoric of Islamic candidates, and then cast our ballots on behalf of a people who are bent on our destruction. Save us, O Lord, we pray.

Lord God, we also take note of the fact that, in many Arab nations, we have received countless testimonies of Moslems who have seen visions of You in their sleep, and have then confessed You as their Savior and their Lord. Father God, if You can do this marvelous work overseas, can You not bring this forth in our own land? We cry out, Holy One, asking for Your divine intervention, so that countless followers of Islam in America will also be given visions of You in the night, and be saved? Let it be so, O Lord!  Let it be so!

"In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,
Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.
In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,
He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from perishing by the sword."

(Job 33:15-18) 
What Is God Saying to America Through This Election? 
Tuesday’s election results sent shock waves across America. The magnitude of the Democratic victory, and the advancement of the progressive agenda that came with it, exceeded the expectations of nearly every political observer. What was anticipated to be a difficult election for Republicans became a sweeping shift in political power: both chambers of Congress, a majority of the nation’s governorships, and seats flipped in states that have been reliably conservative for a generation. The consequences will shape our nation’s direction for years to come.

For Christians, this is not simply a political development to be analyzed and absorbed. It is a moment that demands serious spiritual examination, renewed conviction, and fervent prayer.

Facing the Magnitude

The first reality we must confront is the size of what happened. The progressive movement gained far more ground than most anticipated, and it gained it in places few expected. These results will influence the direction of American government, legislation, and public policy at every level, from the committee rooms of the Capitol to the statehouses and the courts.

We should not minimize this. Honest assessment is the beginning of honest prayer.

But Christians must remember that God has not surrendered His authority over our nation. Daniel 2:21 declares, “He removeth kings, and setteth up kings.” That verse was written by a man living under a pagan empire, serving a ruler who did not know the God of Israel. Daniel did not lose his faith because of who sat on the throne. He understood that the throne itself was under a higher authority.

Political power changes hands. God’s sovereignty does not.

A Prayer for America

Heavenly Father, we humble ourselves before You. Forgive us for placing our confidence in human power rather than in Your sovereign authority.

Expose complacency within Your Church. Restore our commitment to Your Word. Awaken a spirit of repentance and sustained intercession across this nation.

Grant wisdom to President Trump and to every newly elected leader. Protect innocent life, strengthen marriages and families, establish righteousness in our laws, guide our immigration policies, and give our leaders wisdom concerning Israel.

Where our nation has departed from Your standards, bring conviction and correction. Where Your permissive will has allowed difficult circumstances, give us discernment, humility, and obedience.

May Your perfect will be our pursuit, Your Word our authority, and Your glory our highest purpose. (Intercessors for America) Read more here. 

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

Ancient discovery from time of Jesus emerges near Jerusalem's Temple Mount

Archaeologists have uncovered a remarkably well-preserved 2,000-year-old ritual bathing complex near Jerusalem's Temple Mount that dates back to the time of Jesus. It was likely used by Jewish pilgrims visiting the ancient holy site, with an expert noting the discovery helps highlight the broader significance of baptism. 

The excavation, announced earlier this fall, was carried out by archaeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The discovery was made in the Ophel, an archaeological area immediately south of Jerusalem's Temple Mount, near an ancient entrance known as the Triple Gate.

The complex was built in the early first century A.D. It features three large ritual baths, a plastered pool and a paved plaza, along with an extensive water system.

Located near the Triple Gate, one of the main entrances to the Temple Mount, the complex likely served pilgrims who underwent ritual purification before visiting the Second Temple, researchers said.

Thought for the Day
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts."

A Special Message
The Sinner's Prayer
