“Standing United Together . . . Under the Cross of Christ
A Note from our Editor
A Note from our editor:
Thank you for your support!
Dear Friends,
GOD BLESS YOU ALL OUT THERE TODAY, AMEN!
I am writing this note to you to thank you for your patience with me, and to ask for your help.
Last week, I began to receive approximately 300 emails each day . . . a clearly overwhelming number!
So, try as I might, there is no way I can monitor these many messages that are coming into our office here daily.
I do want to say a huge THANK YOU to the many of you who have written to us recently, thanking us for our work. We do appreciate each and every one of you!
Having said that, I doubt at this time that I will be able to manage the tsunami of messages that came in last week. If you sent anything of critical importance, would you kindly RESEND that message today? And if so, please mark the word "RESENDING" in the subject heading, so that I can spot your message and respond to you, hopefully later today.
> > > Also, some have written, asking to be added to our list. Those requests are most likely "lost" now, too. We do ask that you resend those messages, as well.
And finally, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR FAITHFUL GIFTS TO OUR MINISTRY IN THIS HOUR. (You know who you are!) In these days, when the enemy is trying to say "game over" with our income, YOU are saying "game on!" by your acts of giving, in faith.
In closing, we agree with this Word from Scripture for all of you out there:
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Luke 6:38)
In His Amazing Grace,
Sara Ballenger, President

Focus on Israel
1. Cabinet Sources: Iranian Attack on Israeli Civilian Water Infrastructure 'Crosses Red Line' - Jewish Press
Iran has "crossed a red line" with a cyberattack on Israel's water and sewage facilities.
That was the upshot of a top secret security cabinet meeting held this past Thursday, according to unnamed senior officials quoted in a report Saturday night Israel's Channel 13 television news.
The officials said that although the Iranian cyberattack did little damage, it is seen as a "major escalation" by the Islamic Republic because it targeted civilian infrastructure.
The source of the attack was first reported Thursday by Fox News. An unnamed senior US official with the Energy Department quoted in the report said Iranian hackers routed the attack through servers located in the United States. The official underscored the Trump administration's commitment to keeping both the US and its allies secure.
2. Doctors, anti-coalition, parents: Israelis hit the streets for multiple protests - Times of Israel
Thousands of Israelis took to the streets on Saturday evening to protest multiple issues, from the coalition deal struck between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White's Benny Gantz to working hours for trainee doctors and the lack of childcare during the pandemic.
Around 3,000 people demonstrated in Tel Aviv's Habima Square, calling for an end to 26-hour-long shifts and an improvement in working conditions for trainee doctors.
Medical interns recently began working 12-hour-shifts to try to reduce the country's contagion during the coronavirus pandemic and were protesting moves to reinstate the longer working hours, saying the conditions were unreasonable and exhausted doctors could pose a danger to patients.
3. Yamina sources: 'Netanyahu is kicking us out' - Israel National News
The Likud on Saturday evening offered Yamina to head the Knesset's Committee for Public Petitions.
According to reports, Yamina politely declined the offer. "[Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu is kicking us out," Yamina sources said.
Earlier, it was reported that Netanyahu is not ruling out the possibility of giving the Health Ministry to Yamina, but that such a step might come at the expense of the other portfolios given to the party's members.
According to Channel 12 News, Likud hopes that a final decision on whether Yamina will join the coalition will be made on Saturday evening.
4. EU said to Debate Punishing Israel Over Annexation Plans - Jewish Press
The European Union's Foreign Affairs Commission is reportedly debating punitive measures against Israel should it push forward with its plans to annex parts of Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley in accordance with the Trump administration's Middle East peace plan.
Sources familiar with the initiative told Israel Hayom that European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell is the one pushing for sanctions. Borrell, a Spanish diplomat, is known for his animosity toward Israel. This attitude is currently offset by the positive sentiment expressed toward Israel by Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen, a German diplomat and the sitting president of the European Commission.
The European Union's charter states that all major foreign policy decisions can be made only by a consensus among the bloc's 27 member states. It is therefore believed that Israel's allies in the European Union-Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic-will block any major punitive action Borrell may try to promote.
Currently, Sweden, Ireland and Luxembourg are pushing for the harshest response, namely suspending the E.U.-Israel Association Agreement, which regulates relations between the two.

5. Abbas: We'll take the 'proper measures' in response to Israeli sovereignty - Israel National News
Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas warned on Friday that measures will be taken against Israel and the United States if Israel implements its plan to apply sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria.
Abbas' warning was made during a meeting he chaired at his office in Ramallah for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee.
"As soon as Israel announces that it adopts the annexation plan, we will take the proper measures, which will not be against Israel alone, but also against America," said Abbas, according to the Xinhua news agency.
Abbas did not detail what are the measures that will be taken, but renewed his rejection of the US peace plan, also known as the "Deal of the Century".

The Daily Brief
1. Coronavirus Updates: Three White House Task Force Members Self-Quarantine After Contact with Positive COVID-19 Case - The Weather Channel
In a sign of how no place is completely safe from the novel coronavirus, three members of the White House coronavirus task force have started partial or full self-quarantine after coming in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, are in quarantine, aides confirmed Saturday.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, confirmed a CNN report that he had begun a "modified quarantine" after what he called a "low risk" contact.
Fauci will stay at home and telework, The Associated Press reported. He will go to the White House if called and take every precaution, his institute said. (Read more)
- Father God, as we see reports now of more and more White House staffers, including the members of the President's Coronavirus Task Force, testing positive for this virus, we call forth the promise of Romans 8:28 for our people. We call forth Your redemptive purpose in this time of adversity, in Your name, amen.
- "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)
2. Fauci at odds with President Trump - WND
At odds with the statements of President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview he believes the coronavirus did not originate in a lab in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
"If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what's out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated," Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told National Geographic magazine.
"Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species," he said.
Fauci said he also does not believe "an alternate theory - that someone found the coronavirus in the wild, brought it to a lab, and then it accidentally escaped." (Read more)
- Heavenly Father, we trust You will expand on.the truth of this virus and reveal the actual physiological cause and effect of it. Father, through the power of the Blood we bind all lies, all coverups, and any other misleading scenarios that make no sense. Expose the culprit who introduced this tactic of annihilating the human race. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "He has turned aside our ways, and pulled us in pieces: he has made us desolate." (Lamentations 3:11)
3. White House Rejected 'Overly Prescriptive' CDC Guidance For Reopening Communities - NPR
The White House coronavirus task force rejected detailed guidance drafted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how workplaces ranging from schools to bars to churches should resume operations to prevent the spread of the virus because it was viewed as "overly prescriptive."
President Trump has said he wants to see the country begin to reopen. The pandemic crashed the economy by keeping people at home, leading to millions of job losses. The White House task force issued guidelines on how to gradually and safely reopen but left decisions up to governors based on conditions in their states.
Experts have warned that a rush to reopen could have disastrous implications for containing COVID-19. Many businesses have said they want more details about how to do things safely. (Read more)
- Father God, we ask that You overrule the coronavirus task force's rejection of getting our country to resume operations. Take that control out of the hands of the enemies of America. We pull down all constraints of evil which prevent the removal of Chinese power from the United States. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him." (Psalm 91:15)
4. Bipartisan group of lawmakers press Trump to issue executive order moving drug manufacturing out of China - Washington Examiner
A bipartisan slate of lawmakers is calling on President Trump to issue an executive order requiring that the government purchase only medical equipment and pharmaceuticals made in the United States. The small group sent a letter to the White House on Thursday outlining why the lawmakers believe an executive order targeting China would be a good move by the administration. The letter, spearheaded by Republican Rep. Vicky Hartzler of Missouri and Democratic Rep. John Garamendi of California, was co-signed by seven other Republican members of Congress.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed a serious vulnerability for both national security and public health," the letter reads. "There is bipartisan support in Congress for ending our nation's reliance on China for pharmaceuticals and their ingredients."
"China is the principal developer of active pharmaceutical ingredients [APIs] for generic prescription drugs, which account for approximately 90 percent of pharmaceuticals used in the United States. Right now, China has the ability to attack the United States without firing a single shot by poisoning our nation's medicines or cutting off access to the supply," it adds. (Read more)
- Father God, we cry out to You to speak to President Donald Trump to sign this executive order immediately. We need a strong stand against Chinese infiltration into our pharmaceuticals and their ingredients. Thank You, Lord, for protecting the United States both now and in the future. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling." (Psalm 91:10)
5. Most who recover from coronavirus carry antibodies, study finds - Fox News
A research study posted online Tuesday claims that most patients who recover from the novel coronavirus will make antibodies despite age, gender or how badly they were infected.
An antibody is a protein made by plasma cells in response to infection and is a sign of the body's attempt to fight the virus.
The study, which has not been reviewed by scientific experts, was authored by doctors from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. It said the vast majority of infected patients who recover from coronavirus become immune to COVID-19.
The study relied on a test developed by Florian Krammer, a researcher from the Icahn School of Medicine, that has a less-than-one-percent chance of producing false-positive antibody results, The New York Times reported.
"It really shows that most people do develop antibodies and that there's very good correlation between those antibodies and their capability to neutralize the virus," Columbia University virologist Dr. Angela Rasmussen told The Times. (Read more)
- Father in heaven, we thank You for directing these studies that give hope to the world regarding a positive outcome from this virus. Restore hope and confidence back to all the world. We thank You, God. In the Name of Jesus we pray.
- "Restore unto the world the hope of Your salvation; and uphold us with your free Spirit." (Psalm 51:12)
6. State asking churches to turn over names of its members - WND
Governors and mayors across the nation have claimed that their emergency powers allow them to ban large groups during the coronavirus pandemic. They don't want groups gathering in malls, movie theaters or even churches, despite the constitutional protection of religious rights.
Now one official is moving into extreme territory, demanding churches provide him with the names, addresses and telephone numbers of anyone who shows up to worship.
The move by Quinton Lucas, the mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, already is attracting the attention of Liberty Counsel, which has been defending churches amid the coronavirus lockdowns.
Liberty Counsel founder Mat Staver noted Kansas City is requiring that churches "submit list of members and attendees along with their names, addresses and telephone numbers to city officials for tracking and surveillance purposes." (Read more)
- Almighty God, hear our heart's cry for Your divine intervention. Close the mouths of the enemies and those who stand with evil and the dark side. Let freedom from the throne of God prevail over our world. Dethrone the ungodly from their authority to rule. Pull them down, Lord. The Church is in the hands of God, and we cry out for holy protection. Evil is defeated by the Blood of Jesus. This is Truth. God and Truth always prevail. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your Name for Your lovingkindness and for Your Truth: for You have magnified Your Word above all Your Name." (Psalm 138:2)
7. Judge Gives Churches A Huge Victory After Strict Lockdown Restrictions Are Imposed By Democratic Governor - The Political Insider
Churches in the great state of Kentucky got some very good news on Friday when a federal judge ruled that they will be allowed to hold in-person gatherings this weekend as long as they follow social distancing guidelines.
This came after the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Nicholasville, Kentucky filed a lawsuit against the state's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear, demanding that they be allowed to hold in-person services. They argued that Beshear's ban on in-person services infringes upon their First Amendment rights, and U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove agreed.
Van Tatenhove granted a temporary restraining order that stops Beshear from "enforcing the prohibition on mass gatherings with respect to any in-person religious service which adheres to applicable social distancing and hygiene guidelines," according to Lexington Herald-Leader. (Read more)
- Father God, we rejoice at this news. We ask that You continue to grant Your wisdom in the courtrooms across the nation, so our freedoms are secured. In Your name, amen.
- " . . . if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them [a]by My Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 18:19)
8. Franklin Graham speaks out on violation of rights - WND
Dozens of court cases have erupted in recent weeks, mostly from faith-based groups, challenging state and local government restrictions in response to the Chinese coronavirus.
Now, Franklin Graham, CEO of the worldwide Christian ministry Samaritan's Purse, which is providing a mobile hospital to treat patients in New York City, warns that the restrictions on constitutional rights might not be temporary.
"Here we go again," he wrote on Facebook. "Another headline by CNN to try to put fear in the minds of readers. What happens if a coronavirus vaccine is never developed? "The 'what-ifs' could be endless. What if the sky fell tomorrow? There are a lot of hypotheticals being thrown out there that are intended to scare people," he said.
"It's becoming more obvious to people that the response of some in the government is not just about protecting lives, but it's about control. Never before in our history have those who are well been quarantined rather than those who are sick! I don't want to minimize the fact that the coronavirus is dangerous. We need to take precautions and we need to exercise personal responsibility," he continued. "But we also need to be cautious before we say yes to every ban proposed and agree to anything that we think might help protect us from the virus, to make sure that we're not letting go of some of our constitutional rights.
"Our response to the coronavirus pandemic could greatly affect our future and our freedoms," he said. (Read more)
- Almighty God, as You can see from heaven, this pandemic was staged by the wealthy who control earthly circumstances so they can bring in the one world order. God, the world is living like the Chinese live. We cry out to You, God, to deliver our world from Chinese control and from those who are in league with China. Expose the wicked who have attempted to make hearts fearful and inhibit freedom. It has been unequivocally proven this isolation from a virus is a lie. Lord, speak deliverance over our world from the lies and deception of evil men and women. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "For thus says the Lord of hosts, Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams. For they prophesy falsely unto you in My Name: I have not sent them, says the Lord." (Jeremiah 29:8-9)
9. Answered Prayer: Charges Dropped Against General Flynn - Intercessors for America
The Justice Department on Thursday recommended a federal judge reverse the conviction of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and drop the charges, a stunning reversal in a case that became a powerful symbol of FBI misconduct in the Russia case. The government's motion must still be granted by U.S. Judge District Judge Emmett Sullivan.
The government said recent revelations from evidence withheld from the court for years warranted the dramatic recommendation, including that the FBI interview that Flynn was accused of lying during was not warranted by law after agents had already concluded there was no criminal conduct on his behalf.
"The Government has concluded that the interview of Mr. Flynn was untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn-a no longer justifiably predicated investigation that the FBI had, in the Bureau's own words, prepared to close because it had yielded an "absence of any derogatory information,'" the government said.
The Government is not persuaded that the January 24, 2017 interview was conducted with a legitimate investigative basis and therefore does not believe Mr. Flynn's statements were material even if untrue. Moreover, we not believe that the Government can prove either the relevant false statements or their materiality beyond a reasonable doubt," it said. (Read more)
- Father, we are grateful for this move of justice in our nation! We rejoice with General Flynn and his attorney Sidney Powell. Father, we pray that this would be just the beginning to a greater measure of truth and justice in our nation! Join us in praising God for this move of justice! Pray for General Flynn to be able to reassemble his life after this miscarriage of justice. Continue to pray for Attorney General Barr who is using great discernment and courage to make the crooked paths straight in our justice department. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "Thus says the Lord, Keep judgment, and do justice: for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed." (Isaiah 56:1)

10. Pence says he would welcome Trump ex-adviser Flynn's return - Reuters
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday said he would welcome Michael Flynn's return to the Trump administration after the U.S. Justice Department's controversial move last week to drop criminal charges against the president's former national security adviser.
In an interview with online news site Axios, Pence was asked if he would like Flynn to return to work for President Donald Trump. "For my part, I'd be happy to see Michael Flynn again," Pence said, and defended the department's action.
(Read more)
- Lord God Almighty in heaven, we praise You because You are the Righteous Judge among mankind. Now that General Flynn has been exonerated from all charges against him, we thank You for restoring unto him all that the locust has eaten in his life. Thank You , Lord, for hearing our prayer, amen.
- "For I know the plans that I [a]have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11)
11. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING! - Testimony Reveals Deep State Spy Joseph Mifsud Is Member of the Clinton Foundation - Gateway Pundit
Joseph Mifsud is connected to the Obama Spygate Scandal after presumably setting up George Papadopoulos and General Flynn in London.
We knew he was close to Hillary Clinton and even dined with her in 2016. Now we know Mifsud was a member of the Clinton Foundation.
In March 23 we reported that the Mueller gang blamed George Papadopoulos for withholding information that ended up preventing the government from investigating Mifsud leading to their letting him go.
On page 193 of the Mueller report, the Mueller gang claimed that Popadopoulus's false statements impeded the FBI's investigation into Joseph Mifsud who was interviewed in a hotel lobby a month later on February 10, 2017. The Mueller gang next referred to the Papadopoulos case rather than an FBI 302 in their report. This happens for Mifsud even though for everybody else, there is an FBI 302 created with a description of what was said to the FBI. In fact, the Mueller report never references any FBI302 for Mifsud. And it gets even more interesting . . . (Read more)
- Father, thank You that this secret membership has been exposed. We bind the actions of political operatives within the government who do not have our best interests in mind and declare that their works against Americans will be destroyed.
- "For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light." (Luke 8:17)
12. Pence spokesperson denies vice president is 'in quarantine' amid reports of self-isolating over coronavirus - Fox News
A spokesperson on Sunday denied Vice President Pence is in "quarantine" just days after a member of his team tested positive for the coronavirus.
"Vice President Pence will continue to follow the advice of the White House Medical Unit and is not in quarantine," the spokesperson, Devin O'Malley, said in a statement.
"Additionally, Vice President Pence has tested negative every single day and plans to be at the White House tomorrow."
Bloomberg and The Associated Press, citing sources, reported Sunday that Pence was "self-isolating" and limiting his exposure to other people.
Pence's press secretary, Katie Miller, was one of two staffers to test positive for coronavirus in recent days. As a precaution, all members of the White House press corps at the White House were offered free COVID-19 tests. (Read more)
- Father, we thank You for protecting both VP Pence and the President. We take authority over every plan of the enemy to destroy our leaders and declare that both the President and Vice President and their families will be free of any attacks whether by health or any other means.
- "No weapon formed against you shall prosper." (Isaiah 54:17)

The injustice against Ahmaud Arbery
I have watched repeatedly the videos where Travis McMichael and his father Gregory McMichael hunted down and killed Ahmaud Arbery, a black man, in a Glynn County, GA, neighborhood on February 23. Thursday-45 days after this horrible act-the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested and charged them with felony murder and aggravated assault-but only after a video surfaced in the public that confirmed in graphic detail this brutal killing. On April 2, after accusations by Arbery's mother of bias and nepotism within the District Attorney's office and the police department, Waycross District Attorney George Barnhill recused himself-But not before he wrote extensively that there were no grounds for any arrest.
The police report states that the McMichael's tried to stop Arbery for questioning upon suspicion of robbing a home construction site. Arbery reversed direction and continued jogging. The McMichael's pulled beside Arbery and "shouted 'stop, stop, we want to talk to you'." Then they pulled past Arbery, stopped the truck and Travis McMichael got out of the truck armed with a shotgun. Gregory McMichael was in the back of the truck bed armed with a .357 Magnum handgun. A struggle ensued when Arbery "began to violently attack Travis." The police report never concludes whether Arbery was armed. He was not. The video shows when Arbery ran past the right side of the stopped truck, the truck blocks the view of what happened next, then the two men emerge around the left side of the truck struggling with the shotgun.
District Attorney Barnhill's memo says that the McMichael's and "Bryan William" were following in 'hot pursuit' of a burglary suspect, with solid first hand probable cause," continuing that "Under Georgia Law this is perfectly legal." Barnhill then goes into a lengthy dissertation about how the "video made by William Bryan clearly shows the shooting in real time," where Arbery attacked Travis McMichael and during the struggle over the shotgun, Arbery was shot three times, concluding that "at the point Arbery grabbed the shotgun, under Georgia Law, McMichael was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself." Barnhill said there was "insufficient probable cause to issue a warrant arrest at this time."
No one deserves the death penalty for suspected burglary. NO ONE. The McMichael's should have called the police and let them handle the complaint. This is outrageous behavior to hunt someone down and kill them over mere suspicions. After Arbery collapsed on the road, Travis McMichael turned his back on him and strutted away with the shotgun in his hand, not even looking back to check on Arbery's condition. This sends a message to every black family in America that our country's neighborhoods are not safe for them to jog or walk. Moreover, vigilante justice is a threat to every American, especially when it is upheld by those entrusted by the people as keepers of the justice system.
We all, irrespective of race, religion, or ethnicity, should be furious. It is not only that a man was hunted down and killed for mere suspicion of burglary, but also the systemic and institutionalized bias of those in the legal system that concludes in a lack of probable cause for an arrest. What if this happened to your son? As in Isaiah 59:14 says, "And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter." Christ said in Matthew 24:12, "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." The unjust is an abomination to the just. As a Christian man, I want to go on record that I deplore this injustice in the strongest possible terms.
The Unsealed Files
THE UNSEALED FILES: VINDICATES FLYNN, IMPLICATES OBAMA AND OTHERS
Many of you heard the bombshell news on Thursday-all charges against General Flynn were dropped by the Department of Justice. We have even discovered through these document declassifications that President Obama has been named as having specific knowledge of the details of Flynn's wiretapped calls. But let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture: what new information made his exoneration possible? And what are the other and larger implications of this new information? Who was involved on the inside?
We have been hearing for years that then-National Security Advisor Flynn had unlawful contact with a Russian operative, Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and that he lied about his actions when questioned. Now we know the rest of the story. New internal FBI documents that were unsealed on April 29th gave access to the private notes of those pursuing General Flynn from the beginning, including names familiar to us now-Peter Strozk, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe, Bill Preistap, as well as some not so notable figures-Joe Pientka, and James Baker. This shows that this was not the action of a couple of rogue agents, but a widespread, planned operation called Crossfire Razor. These notes also showed clearly that the FBI's goal from the beginning was "to get him fired" (Flynn).
. . . Enter Attorney General William Barr. He ordered a review of the Flynn case, asking U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Jensen to conduct it. Documents were discovered by Jensen that led him to recommend dismissal. "Through the course of my review of Gen. Flynn's case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case," Jensen reported.
What was in those newly-released records is the information that many suspected all along-a concerted, coordinated effort to frame General Flynn. What is next revealed in these documents, and the new documents recently walked to the Department of Justice by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, will likely prove as explosive.
So, what do we know about the wider scope of this misconduct and other activity? We know that we may find out more about the misdeeds and illegal activity going on in the various agencies to oppose the Trump administration. If some have doubted the existence of a deep state, this trove of documents proves otherwise. Here are some of those named in the documents with inside information and /or participation in these activities in addition to those named above: President Barack Obama, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, Vice President Joe Biden, CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and national security advisor Susan Rice. CNN legal analyst and constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley called the implications of the documents "chilling." It is only a matter of time before we find out what else is contained, who else is implicated, and what, if any, prosecutions result. We are already getting information that indicates indictments may be coming next week giving us a second week of big news from the Justice Department. Keep praying for justice!
In Friday action, Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts put a temporary halt on the release of confidential material from the Mueller investigation, at the request of the Justice Department. Actions like this lead us to believe that there are wheels turning that may reach far and wide into many areas of our government.
Will you join us to pray for our nation at this fragile time? As we see wrongdoing and corruptions being unveiled, pray for those who are revealing it-for strength, courage, and protection.
- Pray for AG Barr as he takes bold action to seek justice in the Justice Department.
- Pray for acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who shined a light on the hidden documents, releasing them for the world to see.
- Pray for those in the DOJ, FBI and elsewhere, who have been intimidated to stand up and tell the truth about what they may have seen or heard.
- And pray for our President as he presides over what could be one of the greatest travesties of justice and subversive activity within our government.

- Father, we thank you for the light being shined. We ask for justice. We desire truth and righteousness in our government agencies. Clean house, Lord!
Cut Our Dependance on China
CUT OUR DEPENDENCE ON CHINA
Dear Sara,
It has become clear through the COVID crisis that America can no longer be dependent on China for our products. We've allowed a communist country who seeks to harm us to wield large control over our manufacturing, our medicine supply, and even much of our nation's food products/processing. No more.
A bill has been introduced in Congress to help U.S. companies move manufacturing from China to the U.S. You can read more about it HERE.
Send your thoughts on this new "made in the USA" bill that will help countries bring their manufacturing--and jobs--back home to America. Contact your elected officials about this move to reduce dependence on China. It's easy to do, just click the link and follow the directions.

The year 1979 was significant for Iran and the entire Muslim world. Widespread social injustices, exiled leaders, Western-oriented politics and religious influences led to a revolt. The Persian monarchy was replaced by an Islamic Republic. The famous Ayatollah Khomeini came back to Iran from his exile in France to be the leader of the revolution and establish a new Islamic state.
The country of Iran exchanged Western cultural influences for a conservative Muslim theocracy that included the segregation of women and the censorship of media and culture. These changes spread into many surrounding Muslim countries. Arab states such as Egypt also became more conservative, restricting the freedom of their citizens and influencing daily life for millions.
In Iran now, more than 40 years after the revolution, the population is ageing, many who could leave have left, and many who remain are dissatisfied with the results. The economic situation seems hopeless, the drug addiction rate is one of the highest in the world, and many people are disillusioned with their Muslim leaders.
But at the same time, Christian media and supernatural revelations are leading many Iranians to follow Jesus. Tomorrow's article will focus on the growth of secret house churches in Iran.
The Islamic Revolution had an impact on the whole Middle East region and the world-but so did the message of the gospel when it arrived. It will do so again.
IDEAS FOR PRAYER
1. PRAY THAT the leaders and people of Iran will pursue a new revolution for peace, stability and freedom.
2. PRAY FOR the Iranian people, suffering under difficult economic and social conditions. Be inspired by Psalm 63.
3. PRAY FOR the new movement happening in Iran-the movement towards becoming disciples of Jesus, that it would also grow and spread to other nations.
Prayers for the Persecuted Church
"Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body." (Hebrews 13:3)

I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY
"Let me tell you what He has done for me." (Psalm 66:16)
Lyrics
I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story, because I know 'tis true;
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.
Refrain
I love to tell the story, 'twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story, it did so much for me;
And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.
Refrain
I love to tell the story; 'tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God's own holy Word.
Refrain
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
'Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.
Refrain

Earthquakes Hit Both Vatican City and Israel at the Same Time
Three earthquakes, two in Israel and one in Italy, took place in the same hour. One rabbi with an auspicious lineage, linked their coincidence with the current pandemic, suggesting a timely divine message with ominous implications.
ONE HOUR; THREE EARTHQUAKES
On Monday morning, two minor earthquakes shook northern Israel. At 5:38 am local time, a 3.2 magnitude shook the Lower Galilee with its epicenter some 8.6 miles north of Beit Shean in the Jordan Valley.
The second Israeli earthquake on Monday, 2.7 in magnitude, took place around 6:53 am. Its exact epicenter was believed to be in Lebanon, about 33 miles north of Nahariya, the northernmost coastal city in Israel.
At 5:03 am local time on Monday, less than half an hour after the Jordan valley stopped shaking and half an hour before Nahariya began shaking, a 3.2-3.7 magnitude earthquake shook Vatican City in Rome. Though there were no injuries and no damage reported, reports on social media described panicked residents running into the streets.
Italy is seismically active with frequent earthquakes and several active volcanoes. A 6.6 magnitude earthquake hitting in 2016 some 50 miles outside of Rome left 15,000 people homeless. After a relatively quiet period of 36 years without any major earthquakes, three major 6+ magnitude earthquake hit the area in three months. A major earthquake in Rome could bring its signature ancient stone ruins tumbling to the ground. It would, of course, also shake the seat of the Catholic Church. After the 2016 shake-up, several major sites were temporarily closed. After the largest of the 2016 quakes, cracks appeared in the ceiling of St. Paul's Basilica and plaster fell to the ground.
GOD IS SHAKING THE CROWN OFF THE HEAD OF THE VATICAN
Rabbi Yosef Dayan, a former member of the Sanhedrin ann descendant of King David, noted a direct connection between the two earthquakes linking the Vatican and the Holy land.
"We are currently in a reality dominated by the coronavirus," Rabbi Dayan noted. "By its very name which means 'crown', Corona hints at God's aspect of מלכות (malchut, kingship). The entire purpose of the coronavirus is to awaken all of mankind to the perversion of the concept of kingship in the world. Rulers may only rule by the grace of God. The moment a government rejects God, becomes anti-God, then God will step in and show them who is really in charge."

'A Real Breakthrough': Israel Says It Has Discovered an Antibody that Can Neutralize Coronavirus
The Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) announced on Tuesday that it has completed "groundbreaking" research on an antibody that can potentially be used in treatments against the coronavirus (SARS-COV-2).
IIBR discovered that the specific antibody neutralizes the coronavirus after testing it against SARS-COV-2.
It is not a vaccine, but an antibody that they believe can be isolated and used to treat those already infected.
"Based on comprehensive scientific publications from around the globe, it appears that the IIBR is the first institution to achieve a scientific breakthrough that meets all three of the aforementioned parameters simultaneously. This is the result of the institute's great experience and the unique capabilities of its scientists," the Defense Ministry, which funds IIBR, said in a statement. (CBN) Read more.

About Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
Our Mission Statement
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) is a ministry which is positioned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., helping members of the Body of Christ to "pray for those in authority over us" in our federal government. Our primary purpose is to offer intercession on site for the members of Congress and their staffs each day that the Senate and the House of Representatives are in session; and our chief prayer focus is that "God's will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."

Because Jesus Christ has shed His blood for all, we, too, pray for ALL, in a nonpartisan manner. Also, because the scriptures indicate that "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 4:17), we are confident that fervent prayer, offered in the halls of the highest chambers of government in our land, can avail much for America. Capitol Hill Prayer Partners welcomes those who feel called to join us, engaging in this strategic work of intercession for our nation: "For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God."
