Worship Rally Includes 100 Baptisms in Plastic-Lined Truck Beds  
A Gospel-driven movement that began three years ago on college campuses in the southeast, to rally young adults through worship and a call to repentance, landed in western North Carolina Oct. 13 where more than 700 students on the Appalachian State University (ASU) campus made public commitments to live for Christ. “It’s great to see God working in the lives of young people on college campuses across our country,” Franklin Graham posted on social media. “Tuesday night on the campus of Appalachian State University in my hometown of Boone, North Carolina, 700 students made a decision to follow Jesus Christ after hearing the Gospel—and around 100 were baptized! I thank God for each one! Pray for them to grow in their faith and be strengthened in the Lord.”
 
The ministry organization that led the worship event at ASU, UniteUs, held its first worship rally in September 2023 on the campus of Auburn University. Since then, an evangelistic movement has gained momentum—marked by Gospel proclamation, lively praise and worship music and hundreds of salvations and baptisms on dozens of college campuses. The UniteUs team says it works closely with local churches to help disciple new Christians from their events to become faithful followers of Christ. The ministry organization’s events have extended beyond the Bible-belt of the south to places like Ohio State University, Purdue University and Georgetown University.

The revival-like atmosphere at the Holmes Convocation Center on the ASU campus featured speakers Tonya Prewett, founder of UniteUs, and Jennie Allen. Immediately after the event, about 100 students publicly professed their faith in Christ by being baptized in the back of pickup trucks that were lined with plastic and filled with water. Some students who attended the worship rally posted about their experiences on social media. “Nothing more beautiful than watching people publicly declare their faith through baptism,” one student posted. Another said, “God was so present last night. Best night ever!” (Billy Graham) Read More Here 
Father God we lift PRAISE for the presence of Your Holy Spirit across college campuses within our nation! We celebrate the news of 100 new believers at ASU campus, who willfully surrendered to Jesus Christ and made the commitment for baptism! May Your favor fall upon them and "UniteUs" ministry, as they faithfully create environments of worship and opportunities for sharing the gospel with young adults.  We pray Holy Spirit FIRE would continue to spread across universities creating Fresh Revival. May they thirst for Jesus Christ and have a hunger for studying His holy Word. We give You all the glory and honor as our King of kings and Lord of lords, for Your faithful mercy and grace upon all generations! In Jesus Mighty Name we pray, Amen.

Coast Guard is monitoring Chinese-flagged vessels in Arctic  
Coast Guard crew are monitoring Chinese-flagged vessels in the Arctic as border security efforts remain a Trump administration priority.
The Coast Guard is also working with the Canadian military to expand maritime defense in the Arctic after U.S. and Canadian partnerships are building arctic cutters in Texas.
During their last nearly four-month-long mission, Coast Guard Cutter Munro (WMSL 755) crew operated in the Coast Guard Arctic District. They were deployed to control, secure and defend the northernmost maritime approaches in the U.S. and also strengthened defenses with international partners.
While on patrol in the Arctic, Cutter Munro crew through Operation Frontier Sentinel monitored three Chinese-flagged research vessels operating in and around the U.S. Arctic waters to ensure they complied with international maritime law. By July, the crew had monitored two Chinese-flagged vessels, The Center Square reported.
“The Arctic is a demanding maritime environment that can test any crew and vessel,” Cutter Munro’s commanding officer, Capt. Adam Disque, said. “We were proud to sustain U.S. presence in the region to safeguard our Arctic coastline and reinforce a rules-based order in the High North.” (Just the News) Read more here. 
Lord, we thank You that our Coast Guard is watching the actions of our adversaries in the Arctic. We ask that You protect our Coast Guard members, and grant them wisdom as they seek to prevent any actions that could harm the US.

Washington foster parents score legal victory after state demanded they use children's preferred pronouns 
A Christian couple who spent more than a decade caring for foster children is celebrating a major legal victory after Washington state agreed to change its licensing rules following a dispute over requirements that foster parents use children's preferred pronouns and comply with gender identity policies, even when those requirements conflicted with their religious beliefs.
Shane and Jennifer DeGross told Fox News Digital in an interview Wednesday that the dispute began in 2022, when they attempted to renew their foster care license and discovered the state had changed its requirements concerning gender identity.
The couple said they were willing to love and care for any child placed in their home but could not agree to certain state-imposed requirements they believed violated their Christian faith.
"We were made aware that the state had updated and changed some of their requirements," Jennifer DeGross told Fox News Digital. "While we agreed that we would love and care for any child in our home, they had specific things that we could not agree to as Christians."
Shane DeGross said the state required them to affirm the state's views on gender identity and human sexuality. "Those views directly conflict with the biblical worldview of human sexuality," Shane DeGross said. "So, as Christians, we just couldn't accept that. Our allegiance is to God and the truth of Scripture. And we just couldn't abide by what they were requiring us to affirm." (Fox News) Read more here.
 
Thank You, Lord for this victory. We pray for Your people to be free from interference with Your truth. We ask that Your Word prevail against those who seek to destroy Your people.

“So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”  (Isaiah 55:11)

Gavin Newsom’s legislative minions just got a lesson in constitutional supremacy 
It is no surprise that a unanimous three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit just enjoined the blatantly unconstitutional attempt by the "No-Longer-So-Golden State" to impose restrictions on the ability of ICE and other federal agents to enforce federal immigration law. That panel was doing exactly what federal courts are supposed to do — uphold the U.S. Constitution.
On October 14 in U.S. v. California, the court tossed the so-called "No Vigilantes Act" (NVA) onto the ash heap. This law was part of the state’s continuing effort to obstruct federal immigration enforcement, which has included relentless public attacks by the governor and state officials on federal agents just trying to do their job of enforcing the law. That includes noxious claims like Newsom likening them to the thuggish "secret police" of an "authoritarian" state.
The NVA required any non-uniformed "federal law enforcement officer" operating in California to "visibly display identification" when carrying out federal law enforcement duties. A federal agent violating this requirement could be criminally prosecuted by the state.
As the Ninth Circuit pointed out, the Supremacy Clause in Article VI makes the "Constitution, and the Laws of the United States … the Supreme Law of the Land." In other words, federal law not only overrides any state law to the contrary, but it requires what is called "intergovernmental immunity." Under "the intergovernmental immunity component of the Supremacy Clause … states may not directly regulate the Federal Government’s operations or property." The panel cites to a 1996 Ninth Circuit decision, Blackburn v. U.S., on this issue, but then points out that this basic legal principle — that states cannot interfere in federal functions — goes all the way back to one of the most seminal Supreme Court cases in our history, McCulloch v. Maryland (1819). "It is the very essence of Supremacy," said the Court in McCulloch, "to remove all obstacles to its action within its own sphere, and so to modify every power vested in subordinate governments, as to exempt its own operations from their own influence." That is why "States have no power … to retard, impede, burden, or in any manner control the operations of the constitutional laws enacted by Congress to carry into execution the powers vested in the General Government."
California tried to argue that the NVA was constitutional because it did not "substantially burden" federal law enforcement. But the Ninth Circuit shot that down, too, saying any attempt by a state law to directly regulate "the conduct of the United States … is void irrespective of whether the regulated activities are essential to federal functions or operations, and irrespective of the degree to which the state law interferes with such functions or operations." (Fox News) Read more here. 
Lord, the US Constitution specifically has a “Supremacy Clause” so that states can run their own laws, but not interfere with Federal laws or enforcement of those laws. We thank You that You have put down this attempt to cause difficulty for the Trump administration that is attempting to perform their lawful duties. We ask that the Governor of California and its legislators be brought to repentance, but if not, we ask that these people be removed from their offices.

“May his days be few; may another take his office!” (Psalm 109:8)

Man Accused of Beheading Iwo Jima Statue in Virginia ID'd as Illegal, Former DACA Recipient 
A monument to one of the most stirring moments in American history was attacked by a vandal wielding a sledgehammer — and the White House is branding the suspect an illegal alien. The sculpture, at the entrance of Virginia’s Marine Corps Base Quantico, depicts the flag raising at Iwo Jima during World War II, Fox News reported. The attack resulted in the beheading of one of the figures on the monument and caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.

The man, identified as 27-year-old Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, was arrested at the scene, according to Fox News. 
According to Fox News, which cited federal sources, Maldonado Soriano was brought into the country illegally in 1999. Under the Obama administration, he was a recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status, also known as DACA, which allowed illegals who were brought to the country as children to receive authorization to work legally. (The
Western Journal) Read more here. 
Holy God, we are grieved that there are so many people who do not respect the property of others, nor do they care about the history of the United States. So many gave their lives at Iwo Jima during WWII. We ask for Your Holy Spirit to bring repentance to this man – change his mind and heart to see the truth.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

1. In ‘unprecedented confrontation,’ IDF chief said resisting Netanyahu’s order for military action tied to Iran - Times of Israel

An “unprecedented confrontation” has been unfolding in recent days between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir surrounding an instruction by the prime minister for unspecified military action that defense officials believe could lead to a flare-up with Iran shortly before the election, Channel 12 reported Sunday.

The TV network, which cited anonymous sources, said Zamir had been resisting carrying out the military action, no details of which were provided, and sought further deliberations, as well as signed documentation from Netanyahu regarding legal authorization for it.

The issue had come to a head in the past 24 hours, the outlet said, noting that its report was being broadcast within the limitations of Israel’s military censorship regulations.

Israel is not publicly backing Lana Nusseibeh’s candidacy for United Nations secretary-general, Ambassador Danny Danon told i24NEWS on Monday, while praising the Emirati diplomat’s experience and ability to lead the organization.

“I have known Ambassador Nusseibeh for many years. I served with her at the UN. She’s a skilled diplomat. She has a lot of experience,” Danon said. “I think that she has the tools to lead the organization, like other candidates that also have the tools.”

4. UN panel, which has long denounced Israel, releases new report attacking Jewish state - JNS

A United Nations panel that has long denounced the Jewish state—the so-called Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel—did so again in a new 19-page report.

The panel accuses Israel of “war crimes and the crimes against humanity of extermination, persecution, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence” and of “intentionally targeting Palestinian civilians as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza.”

The U.N. commission also said in the report, which was released on Monday, that Israel is guilty of crimes in Judea and Samaria. (Read more) 

5. Hezbollah rearming for possible renewed conflict with Israel, Lebanese sources say - Times of Israel

BEIRUT, Lebanon (Reuters) — The Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group has spent three months preparing for a possible resumption of hostilities with Israel, after receiving an infusion of cash from Iran, according to Lebanese security personnel briefed on its activities.

The group, founded by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in 1982, has been dealt severe blows in two wars with Israel since 2024, with thousands of its operatives and many of its leaders killed, and much of its arsenal destroyed.

Israeli forces now control its heartland of villages in southern Lebanon, and political pressure has mounted in Beirut for its disarmament. (Read more)

1.Trump invokes Defense Production Act to boost US fuel refining capacity at Iowa rally - Washington Examiner
 

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he intends to use the Defense Production Act to bolster domestic oil refining capabilities in the hope of putting downward pressure on record-high diesel and gasoline prices.

Trump told a crowd of supporters at a Sioux City, Iowa, campaign rally that he would be invoking the wartime production statute that allows the president to direct domestic industries to prioritize and expand U.S. oil refinery operations to increase the supply of gasoline and diesel.

“Tonight, I am announcing that my administration is using the Defense Production Act to release $150 million to increase American refining capacity and produce more diesel and more gasoline,” Trump said.

Farmers in the state have been hit hard by the high price of diesel needed for agricultural equipment as a result of the Iran war and the war between Russia and Ukraine. The Trump administration’s tariff policies, particularly the 50% tariff on Canadian imports, have also dramatically increased the cost of fertilizer.

Trump reiterated that he lifted the taxes on red-dye diesel and made a deal with Russia to import diesel fuel to help farmers. (Read more)

We pray this action will decrease fuel prices and help everyone.

2. Trump says he ordered Justice Department lawsuit over Alaska Senate race - AP News
 

President Donald Trump on Friday said he told his administration to file its lawsuit to block certification of the U.S. Senate race in Alaska if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses, kicking off what many fear could become a lengthy battle between the government and states over certifying an election where the president’s party is struggling.

“I’m the one that said do it,” Trump told reporters as he landed for a campaign rally in Florida.

The lawsuit, filed late Thursday, centers on one of the president’s longstanding complaints in the Senate race — the presence of a second candidate named Dan Sullivan, who Republicans fear could siphon away votes from the incumbent in what’s likely to be a photo-finish contest with Democrat Mary Peltola, the state’s former congresswoman.

The second Sullivan, who is Daniel J. Sullivan from the tiny fishing community of Petersburg, has said he decided to run on his own, but Republicans have contended he is a Democratic plant to siphon votes away from their candidate.

The lawsuit by the Republican president’s Department of Justice in federal court in Alaska demands that the state be blocked from certifying a Peltola win if Daniel J. Sullivan remains on the ballot. “The United States accordingly brings this lawsuit to protect the integrity of the 2026 Senate election in Alaska,” the lawsuit says. (Read more)

We pray over this race. May Your will be done for the candidate of Your choosing.

3. IDF chief at Judea Junction attack scene: We are at the highest level of readiness - Israel National News

The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, arrived on Friday at the scene of the shooting attack near the Judea Junction, in the Judea Regional Brigade’s area of responsibility, where he toured the scene and held a situational assessment alongside the Commander of the Central Command, MG Avi Bluth; the Commander of the 98th Division, BG Meni Liberty; the Acting Head of the Civil Administration, BG (Res.) Ilan Malka; the Commander of the Judea Regional Brigade, COL D.; the Commander of the Judea and Samaria Border Police; representatives of the Israel Security Agency (ISA); and additional senior commanders.

“The outcome of the encounter with the terrorist cell is painful, but the initial inquiry indicates that the actions of the Ari Battalion troops prevented a serious attack against Israeli civilians. We will act decisively, pursue and reach all those involved in the attack," Zamir said.

“Based on the situational assessment, we prepared for the possibility of escalation in Judea and Samaria, reinforced our troops and deployed the 98th Division headquarters and numerous additional troops to the area. Our troops’ operations in the area have prevented and thwarted numerous attacks in recent weeks. We will act decisively and pursue all those involved in the attack. Anyone who attempts to harm us should know that we will reach them," he added.

“We are at the highest level of readiness and alert across all fronts. Our primary mission is to thwart terrorism and ensure security and stability for Israeli civilians. We will continue to strike and take proactive action wherever necessary, while acting with composure. (Read more)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the city of Hebron to be cordoned off and for the entire West Bank to be blocked from entry and exit starting on Friday morning, after five people were wounded in a terror attack in the area carried out by Hamas terrorists.

"I have instructed the IDF and security forces to immediately impose a closure on the city of Hebron and prepare for a full lockdown of all of Judea and Samaria, beginning today," Netanyahu said, adding that the IDF would be carrying out extensive waves of arrests.

"We will pursue Hamas terrorists and those who send them, wherever they are and at any time," Netanyahu said. "You have nowhere to hide."

Two soldiers were killed, and three were lightly injured in the attack, according to the IDF. (Read more)

5. Israel Faces 94 Active Sanctions Measures Worldwide, New Data Reveals - The Algemeiner
 
Mounting sanctions and trade restrictions are intensifying pressure on Israel worldwide, with European governments playing an increasingly prominent role in efforts to boycott and isolate the Jewish state, raising concerns among experts about the long-term consequences for the country’s economy and international trade ties.
 
According to newly published data by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI), an Israeli research organization focused on Jewish affairs and policy, 139 sanctions, restrictions, and diplomatic measures have been documented across 64 countries and entities, including 17 targeting academia, with 94 non-academic measures currently in force.
 
With more countries moving to impose punitive measures against Israel, analysts are warning that the growing international backlash could have far-reaching economic consequences, jeopardizing the country’s global trade ties, foreign investment, and long-term economic stability.
 
The measures tracked by JPPI range from targeted sanctions against individuals and organizations to restrictions on arms sales, trade bans, and diplomatic penalties, while additional proposals continue to advance, threatening to widen the scope of international pressure on Israel even further. (Read more)
Lord, we pray favor over Israel and pray the sanctions that had been placed on them, mainly by the European nations, would be dropped. And we pray that Israel's economy would flourish whether the sanctions are dropped or not. But we primarily ask that the sanctions would be removed.

Out of Darkness Came the Light of the World

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, October 26, 2026

The Genesis 12:1-17:27 reading is Lech Lecha, “Go Out.” More specifically, Lech Lecha means “Go for yourself,” or literally, “walk for yourself.” The great Jewish sage Rashi interprets this as “Go for your own benefit.” It is God’s invitation to venture ahead in faith, risking everything for His promise. Abram did this. He obeyed God and traveled to Canaan. A famine drove him to Egypt, Upon returning to Canaan, Abram separated from Lot, later rescuing him from captivity and receiving the blessing of Melchizedek. God established His covenant with Abram, promising countless descendants. Circumcision became the covenant’s sign, and Abram became Abraham, father of nations. But there is more.

Abram was called ha ivri, “the Hebrew,” meaning “one who crosses over.” Jewish tradition describes Abraham as standing on one side while the world stood on the other. Leaving Ur of the Chaldeans, a land of idolatry, Abram crossed over spiritually, choosing the one true God over the surrounding culture. He became a stranger to the world by trusting God's promises. Only after Abram journeyed into the unknown land of Canaan did God appear to him, saying, “To your descendants I will give this land” (Genesis 12:7). Abram saw God after he believed and walked in faith. His obedience preceded the revelation of what God had prepared for him. Read More

Melania Trump's advisor reveals how she bridged Putin, Zelenskyy to broker frontline Ukraine truce
The agreement clears the way for emergency food, water and medical evacuations for trapped seniors in Oleshky 

First lady Melania Trump helped broker a humanitarian ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine to allow emergency aid into the frontline town of Oleshky, her senior advisor said.

Speaking on "Fox & Friends Weekend," exclusive senior advisor Marc Beckman said the agreement followed weeks of mediation involving Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Beckman told Fox News the effort reflects how Trump is redefining the role of first lady.

"We have to look, as Americans, at our first lady with immense pride. She is completely revamping the role of first lady from somebody building policy awareness into action-oriented. She's saving lives," Beckman said.

"Yesterday, she brokered — single-handedly brokered — a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine within the area of Oleshky," he added, noting that Russia has since agreed to extend the planned ceasefire by two days and expand it to a broader area of Ukraine's Kherson region.

Beckman said the first lady was moved to negotiate the ceasefire to help elderly residents still trapped in the region, giving them time to evacuate and allowing humanitarian aid to reach those who remain.

He said the agreement built on the first lady's previous humanitarian work.

Since August 2025, Trump has helped negotiate the release of Ukrainian children from Russia, allowing them to reunite with their families. Beckman said 34 children have been returned to their families through six separate exchanges.

"She was smart enough to realize that by leveraging the relationships — the strong relationships that she fostered over six unique moments in time for the reunification of Ukrainian and Russian children... by leveraging those relationships, she was able to bring everybody to the table and negotiate this ceasefire," Beckman said. (Fox News) Read more here. 
[Please note: even though we ran this great news on Monday, we will repeat this today to honor our First Lady and the work she has done. Thank you!] 
Abba, we give You high praise for opening doors for our First Lady, Melania, to bring peace to Oleshky, Ukraine, allowing humanitarian aid to bring food, water and medical assistance to those trapped by the fighting.  Thank You that Presidents Putin and Zelenskyy allowed the evacuation of senior citizens from this war torn town.  Father God, we give You praise for First Lady Melania's courage and wisdom as she negotiated this time of peace and help, we ask Holy Spirit to move in these circumstances, create a deep trust between our First Lady and government officials from both nations.  Jesus, intervene  in these new relationships, create pathways to build respect and compromise among all involved, let this become another avenue to seek peace.  We ask this in the name Yahweh Jireh, The Lord Will Provide.

Hochul faces revolt from unlikely New Yorkers as Democrats deliver scathing verdict on their party
Stephen Kaufman rallied for Republican Bruce Blakeman's bid to unseat Gov. Kathy Hochul at a Bronx diner 

BRONX, N.Y. – Republican New York gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman is courting disaffected Democrats as he seeks to unseat Gov. Kathy Hochul, betting that frustration over affordability, crime and the party's leftward shift could help him make inroads with traditionally Democratic voters.

"They're not Democrats. They're socialists and communists," former Democratic Bronx Assemblyman Stephen Kaufman told Fox News Digital. "They're just not Democrats, they're not moderates."

Kaufman delivered the blistering criticism while rallying alongside Blakeman at the Crosstown Diner in the Bronx, where several voters expressed similar frustrations with Democratic leadership and said they were backing the Republican candidate.

"Every time I go out and meet the people, another Democrat comes up to me and says, 'Bruce, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've never voted Republican in my life. We're voting for you,'" Blakeman told Fox News Digital.

Kaufman accused the Democratic Socialists of America of gaining increasing influence over the party, warning that Democrats are "rapidly becoming a house of hatred" that no longer welcomes moderate voices.

Several Bronx voters who spoke with Fox News Digital echoed those concerns, pointing to rising costs, public safety and the Democratic Party's increasingly progressive direction as reasons they feel politically abandoned.

"It's not your Democratic Party anymore. It's not your grandfather's Democratic Party. It's become the Democratic Socialist, a.k.a. Communist Party," Lisa, a resident of the Bronx's Throggs Neck neighborhood, said.

"The socialists here literally said we’re land-hoarding if we only have a single-family home or a four-family home and that we were a problem… Kathy was all in support and quiet about it. She didn’t defend the homeowners," another man from the Bronx added.

Abba, the Democratic Socialists platform for the upcoming election is creating many "DemoReps" in New York city, allowing Bruce Blakeman's bid to unseat Gov. Hochul, very interesting.  Father God, we ask that You raise up a loud cry of "NO", from those in our nation who have lived through the horrors of Socialist rule, who have lost loved ones who refused to be silent, who have had property taken from them and given to others. Holy Spirit, we ask You to move across New York state and all of our country, remove the blinders that the enemy has put over the eyes of so many people, let them see the truth for themselves, give them ears to hear the stories, the TRUE stories of what life is really like under Socialism.  We ask this in the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has ultimate power over all things.

Trump points to France riots in fiery midterm warning: ‘It’s never happening here’ 
President Donald Trump weighs in on Paris and France rioting and unrest from ultra-left radical groups amid violent demonstrations and hotly contested elections, pointing to the dangers of open borders and warning about socialist policies.  

President Donald Trump pointed to the ongoing riots in France during his Wichita, Kansas, rally Monday, warning supporters that the destruction should serve as a wake-up call ahead of the midterm elections.

“If you want to see what is at stake in this election, just look at what’s happening in France,” Trump said.

The president blamed migrants, jihadists and communists for the violence, accusing European left-wing leaders of pursuing immigration policies that undermined their countries. “We’re not going to let that happen to this country,” he said.

Trump said he had warned French President Emmanuel Macron years ago to tighten border controls. “Close your border or you will lose France,” Trump recalled telling him.

He urged European countries to close their borders and remove people who hate their adopted countries, while arguing that his administration’s immigration crackdown had protected the United States. “They’re losing their country, they’re losing Europe,” Trump said. “That’s never happening to the United States of America.”

Trump closed the remarks by accusing Democrats of seeking a similar future for Americans. “When you see burning steeples and raging fires in France, just remember that is what the radical Democrats wanna do to America,” he said. (Fox News) Read more here. 

Abba, our nation and the world need Your help!  Illegal Immigrants,  Democratic Socialists, along with other left-wing organizations have created chaos in France and other European countries.  Holy Spirit, send out Your warrior angels to fight this battle in the heavenlies, bring victory so Your intercessors can pull down strongholds, break unholy agreements spoken over our nation and the nations of the world.  Release warring angels to move into these riots and stop them in their tracks, in the mighty name of Jesus!!  Holy Spirit, pour fear and dread into the hearts of all who are part of these destructive groups, allow their fear to overpower the demonic voices telling them what to do.  Open their awareness to these voices, show them the power these voices have over them, let their hearts race as they see themselves like puppets at the enemies beck and call.  We ask this in the name Yahweh Shaphat, The Lord Our Judge.
 
Yet you say, 'What does God know?
             Does he judge through such darkness?...'

He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
He shall prevail against His enemies."

Lost city in area tied to biblical Exodus may have finally been discovered in Egypt

Archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered new evidence that could help pinpoint a long-lost ancient city along a military route, with possible ties to the biblical Exodus.

The discovery was announced by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities on August 15.

The excavation centered on Tell Abu Seifi, an ancient fortified site in northeastern Egypt near the Sinai Peninsula that archaeologists believe may be the long-lost city of Mesen.

The site once stood along the Horus Military Road, a strategic route connecting Egypt with Sinai and Canaan, which some scholars have linked to the "way of the land of the Philistines" in the Book of Exodus.

As Exodus details, the Israelites fled Egypt under Moses but were led away from the more direct route through the land of the Philistines, despite it being the shorter path toward Canaan.

In a translated statement, officials said archaeologists found a massive sandstone lintel, or stone beam, bearing the titles of Ramesses II, the pharaoh often associated with Moses.

Ramesses II, born around 1303 B.C., is considered one of the most influential and powerful Egyptian rulers of the New Kingdom era.

He died in roughly 1213 B.C., placing the newly uncovered beam at more than 3,000 years old.

The lintel also bears an inscription referring to the restoration of a statue of Horus, described as "Lord of the City of Mesen." (Fox News) Read More
