Here Is How We Stop This Freedom-Crushing Bill . . .
Feb 25, 2021
Thanks to your involvement, our D.C. team just delivered more than 58,000 petition signatures opposing HR 5 to 13 key members of Congress, including U.S. House leadership.
Even if the House narrowly passes the misnamed "Equality Act," I believe we can stop this dangerous bill in the Senate!
If it becomes law, it will—for the first time ever in America—force everyone to comply with a damaging LGBTQ agenda. We absolutely MUST stop the "Equality Act" in the Senate! It will not just infringe on religious freedom in America ... it will obliterate it.
Every senator must hear from you now! Demand that they block this bill with your immediate fax. - Mat
It's difficult to communicate the far-reaching impact this bill would have.
In America, churches and people of faith have always had the freedom to live out their faith. Until now. This bill would completely strip that away.
However, it goes far beyond just applying to your church or business. It governs private homes and dabbling in online sales of a good or service or program! This bill applies to "any gathering" and is not limited to a "physical facility or place."
If you offer something for sale from your home on Etsy, eBay or other internet stores, then this bill will apply to you and subject you to lawsuits.
This nightmare legislation even applies to any "perceived" slight against someone who was associated in the past with anyone who is LGBTQ. It includes "beliefs." This means you could owe court-mandated "damages" for something that is entirely in a person's head.
This opens the door to mind-blowing injustice! The Catholic League described the "Equality Act" as the "most comprehensive assault on Christianity ever written into law."
The "Equality Act" must be stopped! Send a fax immediately to fight against this outrageous bill.

by a vote of 224-206. The Senate IS next. We must fight!
- Father God, when a battle is this intense, we turn to You for help. The fight over the defeat of H.R. 5 is not over; and we pray for a victory of its defeat in the Senate. Lord God, we thank You for fighting this battle with us and for us, because the language of this bill is steeped in the agenda of the Anti-christ himself. Thank You, O Lord, for hearing our prayer, in Your name we pray, amen and amen!
- ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of armies." (Zech. 4:6)
Focus on Israel
1. Israel's red line: 1,000 precision missiles in Hezbollah's hands - Israel Hayom
"If Hezbollah crosses a quantitative or qualitative threshold for precision weapons, we will have to act against it. This is a serious decision, but one from which we cannot run away," said Lt. Col. Eran Niv, the head of the IDF's Warfare Methods and Innovation Division.
"Beyond Iran's nuclear program, this is the greatest threat to Israel today. This is theevent, with a capital T. It is the focus of situational assessments. It is the scenario in training exercises. Everything is geared in that direction, but so is the response. In the meantime, we are trying to act in other creative ways, which won't allow [Hezbollah] to get there," said Niv.
Military Intelligence Directorate chief Maj. Gen. Tamir Hayman recently said that Hezbollah presently has "a few dozen" precision-guided rockets and missiles. Israeli officials are troubled by Hezbollah's efforts to acquire a much larger arsenal of such weapons, which are capable of hitting high-quality targets in Israel in the next war, such as air force bases, infrastructure facilities and government buildings.

2. Israel reportedly in talks on defense alliance with Gulf states - Israel Hayom
Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates are exploring the possibility of creating a four-nation defense alliance, according to an exclusive i24NEWS report.
Israeli officials who spoke with i24NEWS refused to confirm this report but said "Israel is constantly working to improve its relations with its Arab neighbors."
The i24NEWS report said the talks were likely designed as a means to counter the "growing Iranian threat" in the region ahead of a possible resumption of talks on a nuclear deal between Tehran and the West. (Read more)
3. Bahrain Crown Prince Calls Netanyahu Regarding US-Iran Nuclear Talks - Times of Israel
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Bahrain’s crown prince spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday about the return to nuclear talks with Iran, Bahrain’s state-run news agency reported, as the new US administration tries to revive the tattered 2015 nuclear accord.
Bahraini Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, also the country’s prime minister, stressed to Netanyahu “the importance of the participation of regional countries in any negotiations on the Iranian nuclear file” to support “security and stability in the region,” according to the official Bahrain News Agency.
The statement marks the first response from a Gulf Arab leader to US President Joe Biden’s announcement earlier this month that he was seeking a return to nuclear negotiations with Iran. (Read more)
4. Israel to Put on Hold Program to Send Vaccines Abroad Amid Legal Scrutiny - Jerusalem Post
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu froze his plan to send doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to countries friendly to Israel on Thursday, following questions of its legality, as he vigorously defended his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
“I said at the beginning of the pandemic that there would be thousands of people dead – people mocked me,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Channel 13. “To my dismay, this is what happened.”
He defended the country’s high death rate – there were 5,685 people who succumbed to COVID-19 as of press time on Thursday – saying that the pandemic has been globally fatal.
Other nations sustained greater damage,” he said. “Thirty world leaders have called and every one of them has said, ‘We tip our hats to you.’”
The interview took place within hours of a decision by Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit to ask National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat for more details about the initiative to supply foreign countries with vaccines, out of a concern that there may be a petition against it to the High Court of Justice.

5. Hezbollah's Latest Threats: An 'Intimidation Campaign' to Silence Criticism with Lebanon - JNS
(February 25, 2021 / JNS) In recent days, Hezbollah launched a high-profile public campaign that included threats to strike sensitive targets deep inside Israel in response to recent Israeli warnings about the consequences of future Hezbollah miscalculations, as well as its systematic use of human shields to hide its firepower in Lebanese residential areas.
But the latest messages by Hezbollah are primarily aimed at a domestic Lebanese audience, according to a former Israeli intelligence officer, and are designed to create a false moral equivalency between the Iranian-backed terror army and the State of Israel.
Maj. (res.) Tal Beeri, director of the research department at Alma Research and Education Center, who spent 20 years as an intelligence officer in the Israel Defense Forces specializing in Lebanon and Syria, told JNS a speech by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi in late January triggered Hezbollah’s own messages. (Read more)
The Daily Brief
1. Citizens United rolls out anti-Biden campaign to 'fight back' against agenda, defend Trump's record - Fox News
EXCLUSIVE:
Citizens United on Thursday rolled out a new anti-Biden campaign in an effort to "fight back" against President Biden's agenda and defend the "successful America first policies" of former President Trump.
Citizens United, the conservative nonprofit famous for its role in loosening campaign finance restrictions, is set to introduce the new project at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Fla., which begins on Thursday.
Citizens United President David Bossie told Fox News that Citizens United’s new StopBidenAgenda.com is an effort to "fight back."
Bossie told Fox News that Biden "did not receive a mandate to impose his radical agenda on America and we won’t let him undo the successful America first policies of Donald Trump without a fight." (Read more)
- Father, we thank you for Citizens United and their agenda to put America first. Thanks for their courage and support of the values our country was founded upon.In Jesus name, amen.
- "Be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do, be done in love." (1Corinthians 16:13-14)
2. CPAC Chair Schlapp: Trump Knows Speech Is 'Important Reset' – Newsmax
Former President Donald Trump, who will mark his first public appearance with a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) gathering on Sunday, knows his speech is a "very, very important reset," CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp said Thursday before the annual conference was to kick off in Orlando.
"He thinks about what he is going to say right until he starts saying it," Schlapp told Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "I think he is talking to advisers, people he trusts, trying to ask where should I go with this speech? He knows it's a very, very important reset for him and for the country, and for half the country, and for so many people here in this ballroom."
Stephen Miller, Trump's adviser and one of his speechwriters, told Fox Business' Larry Kudlow in a preview of the speech Wednesday that Trump will likely speak about the economy, opening schools again, and will "obviously talk about the immigration issue, which the president believes, I agree, is political suicide for the Democrat Party."
Miller also said that the president will talk about standing up to China, bringing back our manufacturing jobs and that blue-collar working-class agenda. (Read more)
- Lord Jesus, open the ears of our nation as President Trump speaks on Sunday. May they hear the truth, follow common sense , give him favor and once again gather around to follow his lead . Just as Queen Esther established a RESET for Israel in her time, may our President, too, lead our own nation in a RESET in this weekend when we all recall the "set time" of Purim. Amen.
- "Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy ways, that I may know thee and find favor in thy sight. Consider too that this nation is thy people." (Exodus 33:13)
3. Journalist Raheem Kassam Says He Was Locked Out of Twitter for 7 Days Without Explanation – The Epoch Times
The National Pulse editor and “War Room” host Raheem Kassam said he was locked out of his Twitter account without an explanation.
“They’ve done it again. Of course they don’t give a reason,” he wrote on Parler and Gab.
Later, Kassam asked “why did Twitter suspend me right as we published this story?” referring to a story alleging that Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio), a nominee to chair the Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus have close ties with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) front groups.
Since Wednesday night, Kassam—whose account is still up—has not sent out any tweets. Kassam was the previous editor-in-chief for Breitbart News. The Epoch Times has reached out to Twitter for comment.
In recent weeks, Twitter, Facebook, and other major social media platforms have suspended or locked a number of accounts, including prominent conservatives, in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s suspension. (Read more)
- Almighty God, we say NO to this big tech censorship. May their following and profits decline and may new platforms be opened with great success. May truth and news not be hindered and may they be held accountable for their censorship. May the public be outraged at the attempt to silence our voices and take away the freedom of speech given to us in the Constitution.
In Jesus name we pray, amen.
- "He who speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit." (Proverbs 12:17)
4. Washington Post Journalists Need To Protest Deplatforming From Jeff Bezos – The Federalist
Washington Post employees should vehemently protest their owner and his flagship company for eroding norms of free expression.
Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s famous founder and CEO, owns The Washington Post, a news outlet presumably staffed by people with an interest in preserving a culture of free expression given that it makes their journalism possible. Bezos is allowing Amazon’s corporate might to deplatform Ryan T. Anderson, a perfectly mainstream conservative writer who researches transgenderism with nuance and compassion.
Amazon recently yanked Anderson’s popular 2018 book “When Harry Became Sally: Responding To The Transgender Movement” from its digital shelves. The company sought to stack the deck against Abigail Shrier’s “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” last summer as well. (Read more)
- Oh Lord, we cry out to you. Have mercy over the people of Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. We come boldly before your throne, asking that you would provide for the critical needs of each family.

We mourn with those who are suffering and cry alongside those who have lost loved ones. Come merciful Lord, to the rescue! In the powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen
- “But in my distress, I cried out to the Lord; I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from His sanctuary; my cry to Him reached His ears” (Psalm 18:6)
5. Biden’s Trade Pick Describes Chinese Regime as Both Rival and Partner – The Epoch Times
President Joe Biden’s nominee for U.S. Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, on Feb. 25 pledged to work with allies to hold the Chinese regime accountable for its unfair trade practices.
In remarks at her confirmation hearing in the Senate Finance Committee, Tai described the Chinese regime as “as simultaneously a rival, a trade partner, and an outsized player whose cooperation we’ll also need to address certain global challenges.”
“We must remember how to walk, chew gum, and play chess at the same time,” she added.
Tai, who grew up in Taiwan and is a fluent Mandarin speaker, is the top trade lawyer for the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee. She also previously served several years as head of China enforcement at the trade representative’s office.
“I know firsthand how critically important it is that we have a strategic and coherent plan for holding China accountable to its promises and effectively competing with its model of state-directed economics,” she said. (Read more)
- Lord, we praise you for ‘Parlor’ and the provision of ‘freedom of speech’. We ask for your protection in the continual ability to share with others who voice conservative views in this nation. Shine a light upon the plans of the enemy to silence Your people. We declare that You will place Your Hem of protection over ‘Parlor‘ and new social media platforms to continue to allow your people to speak truth in the United States . In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
- “If you set a trap for others, you will get caught in it yourself. If you roll a boulder down on others, it will crush you instead” (Proverbs 26:27)
6. Trump’s Tax Returns Obtained by Manhattan District Attorney: Spokesman – The Epoch Times
Manhattan’s District Attorney Cy Vance has obtained former President Donald Trump’s long-sought tax returns, coming days after the Supreme Court ruled that it would not block them from being released to his office.
A spokesman for Vance’s office, Danny Frost, on Thursday confirmed the development to several news outlets. A subpoena was enforced against Mazars USA, Trump’s accounting firm.
The Supreme Court wrote a one-sentence order saying it would not block the subpoena without explanation.
Before Monday, the Supreme Court previously refused to stop lower court rulings and sided with Vance. In July, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote an opinion for a 7-2 ruling that rejected Trump’s argument that he was immune to state-level investigations while he was in office. (Read more)
- Father, we call upon your Holy name to remove all the injustices which are being hidden. Make known any lies of the evil one that may put our nation at risk. Father, shine Your light upon all that needs to be revealed-and the truth of people who are suffering under other regimes. We declare that what is now hidden will be made clearly known! Our nation belongs to You, Abba. Remove all secret ploys of wickedness that come against Your will. Come Jehovah Nissi, our Banner of Victory! In the Mighty name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

7. Biden's Interior pick Haaland tells Senate committee she supports Keystone XL pipeline shutdown – Washington Times
It took four tries, but Rep. Deb Haaland finally acknowledged Wednesday that she supports President Biden’s hotly criticized decision to shut down the Keystone XL pipeline.
Sen. Jim Risch, Idaho Republican, asked Ms. Haaland four times whether she supported the president’s Jan. 20 cancellation of the 2017 cross-border pipeline permit, and after much side-stepping, the Interior secretary nominee reluctantly replied in the affirmative.
“Do you support shutting down the Keystone pipeline?” asked Mr. Risch on his fourth attempt. The New Mexico Democrat responded: “Senator, if I say that I support President Biden’s agenda, I assume that you could take my answer as a yes.” (Read more)
- Father, we pray and intercede for those who are representing us in government. We pray they would listen to the people they represent, and do what's right for the American people, and put Americans first in their decisions.
- "For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man." (2 Corinthians 8:21)
8. Biden moves to reengage with Palestinians after Israel focus – AP
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is moving slowly but surely toward reengaging with the Palestinians after a near total absence of official contact during former President Donald Trump’s four years in office.
As American officials plan steps to restore direct ties with the Palestinian leadership, Biden’s national security team is taking steps to restore relations that had been severed while Trump pursued a Mideast policy focused largely around Israel, America’s closest partner in the region.
On Tuesday, for the second time in two days, Biden’s administration categorically embraced a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, something that Trump had been purposefully vague about while slashing aid to the Palestinians and taking steps to support Israel’s claims to land that the Palestinians want for an independent state.

- Father, we pray You surround Mr. Biden with advisors and counselors who support Israel. May Mr. Biden have ears to hear from Your Spirit in America's relations with Israel.
- "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (Matthew 11:15)
9. Survey: GOP is concerned about policy issues, while Democrats are most concerned about 'Trump supporters' - The Blaze
A new survey found that while Republican voters are mostly concerned with policy issues, Democratic voters are primarily concerned with Trump supporters and the growth of various "-isms" in the country such as "systemic racism" and "white nationalism
The survey, conducted by Echelon Insights last week, found that the top concern among Republican voters was illegal immigration, with 81% of respondents reporting that they are very concerned about the issue. Following behind is the lack of support for police in the country, with 79% being very concerned, and high taxes, an issue that 77% said they were very concerned about.
Republicans also did express concern over issues not necessarily related to specific policy — such as liberal bias in the media, the general moral decline of the country, and socialism — but those concerns did not top the list. (Read more)
- Father, we pray that both parties will concentrate on policy issues and go to work to get things done to help the American people. There is much work to be done, and we pray You put people in government that would pray and seek Your face to get Your strategies and ideas on helping the American people.
- "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." (James 1:5)
10. Trans doctor Rachel Levine faces historic Senate confirmation hearing – The Guardian
Dr Rachel Levine, a pediatrician and health official from Pennsylvania, faces a Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday as Joe Biden’s nominee for assistant health secretary. The process could see her become the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the US Senate.
If confirmed, Levine, 63, would make history and break several glass ceilings. In a country which still only has a handful of openly trans public officials, she would be the most high-profile, occupying a senior position in the Biden administration with major responsibilities in the pandemic response.
Announcing her nomination last month, Biden said Levine would bring “steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get through this pandemic … She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration’s health efforts.” (Read more)
- Abba, we are deeply saddened with the direction that this nation has turned. Abba, we are asking for a miracle. We ask that this confirmation would be blocked and stopped. Please do not allow this to go through. Please make a way where there seems to be no way.
- "…and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds." (2 Peter 2:7-8)
The Daily Jot
Prophecy Clock Accelerates Under Biden
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, February 25, 2021
After four years of an American administration supporting Israel, attempting to broker peace between Israel and its historically traditional enemies, and isolating one of the world’s leading sponsors of terror, the Biden administration is now dangerously reversing Middle East policy. The ebb and flow of prophecy is quickly advancing as President Biden is following in the anti-Israel footsteps of the Obama Administration. To the Judeo-Christian community, these are elements that advance prophecy by boosting the nations, such as Iran, who are specifically mentioned as those coming against Israel when the Messiah returns.

BREAKING! House Passes ‘Equality Act’ amid heated fight over transgender policy
House passes 'Equality Act' amid heated fight over transgender policy
The House passed the Equality Act, a bill that would prohibit discrimination against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity, despite sharp opposition from Republicans over provisions relating to transgender people participating in women's sports, hormone treatments for minors, and abortion.
The bill, passed 224-206, would expand on last year's Supreme Court ruling that the Civil Rights Act bans employment discrimination based on sexual or gender identity. A version of the Equality Act passed the House in the last Congress, but the Republican-controlled Senate never brought it up for a vote.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday promised to put the legislation up for a vote in his chamber now that Democrats narrowly control it, but he declined to say when, other than it would be "at exactly the right time."
Republicans railed against provisions in the bill that they say could lead to potentially providing a way around a current ban on federal funding of abortion and forcing schools to allow male-to-female transgender individuals on women's sports teams. Religious freedom concerns were also at top of mind, with some Republicans wondering whether the bill would force churches or other religious organizations that reject same-sex relationships and gender changes to close. (Washington Examiner) Read more.
-Father God, the struggle for truth and righteousness continues to be our prayer in this hour of need. The foundation of Your creation is under assault with those who seek the sinful ways of man as their source of justice. We petition to Your Almighty Hand that this hypocritical bill, the "Equality Act," be stopped immediately. The enemy is seeking to deceive the hearts and minds of so many. May Your angel armies encamp and surround us as Your people who are called by Your name.
-‘Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord."(Romans 12:19)
A Word for Purim
Word on Purim:
Though many have prayed, fasted, and worshipped through the distresses of the election and beyond, the Lord is saying it is a "Set time." He is jealous for our attention. In this pre-determined time set time, the tectonic plates of the end-time narrative are moving into place. We have seen it in America. No prayer, no cry, no fasting, or weeping have been able to change the course of what has happened, even from the most sincere and faithful heart. Why? Because it is a "Set time." God is asking us to lay down our opinions, our pre-conceived ideas, and submit to His sovereignty and timing. Therein is your peace. He has not yet revealed what is on the spiritual horizon.
We are in an Esther time. She did not know what would happen, nor understand the consequences, but history would. God is calling us to attention and to a greater intentionality with Him! "Look among the nations and watch--be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you." (Habakkuk 1:5) This does not mean we lose faith, but rather secure it by trusting in Him. It is an hour when He is calling us to lock shields and prepare for what is to come. If we miss it by looking at the old battle ground, we are in danger of missing the unfolding plan. - Susan Rowe, 25 February 2021 (Purim)

Etna erupts with a fury 'rarely seen for decades': Volcano continues its recent spectacular displays as image shows how its deadly rivers of lava look from space
Mount Etna continued its spectacular eruptions on Monday into Tuesday with jets of lava reaching a thousand meters into the air.
The eruptions have awed even seasoned volcanologists in recent days with spurts of lava lighting up the Sicilian sky each night.
Some said Monday's eruption - that continued into the early hours of Tuesday - was the most powerful during its recent burst of activity, with one expert saying an eruption of its kind had not been seen for decades at Etna.
The latest eruption overnight by Europe's most active volcano petered out on Tuesday morning, according to Italy's National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology.
It comes as a satellite image was released showing what its deadly rivers of lava look like from space. (DailyMailUK) Read more here.

Israel Receives One of the World's Oldest Esther Scrolls in Time for Purim Holiday
JERUSALEM, Israel – The National Library of Israel in Jerusalem has been gifted one of the world’s oldest copies of The Book of Esther.
The Book of Esther, also known as the “Megillah” is read every year by Jews around the world during the holiday of Purim. Purim, which falls on Feb. 25-28 this year, commemorates when God used Queen Esther to save the Jewish people from destruction at the hands of the Persian Empire.
Scholars say the new Esther scroll received by the National Library of Israel dates back to the Iberian Peninsula around the year 1465 before Jews were expelled from Spain and Portugal at the end of the fifteenth century.
A scribe from that time carefully wrote the Megillah in brown ink on the leather scroll and it was likely read by 15th century Jews during the Purim holiday. (Read more)

Words and Music: Frederick Lehman
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen
Can ever tell
It goes beyond
The highest star
And reaches to
The lowest hell
The guilty pair
Bowed down with care
God gave his son to win
His erring child
He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin
Refrain:
Oh love of God
How rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints and angels song
Could we with ink
The ocean fill
And were the skies
Of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky
Refrain:
Oh love of God
How rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints and angels song
