There they shall be called sons of the living God."

Focus on Israel
1. Palestinian PM: We will declare state on 1967 lines if Israel annexes W. Bank- Jerusalem Post
If Israel annexes part of the West Bank on July 1, the Palestinian Authority will declare a Palestinian state based on the armistice lines from before the 1967 Six Day War and call on the international community to recognize it, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh warned on Tuesday.
Speaking to members of the foreign press from the prime minister's office in Ramallah, he also said that he would expect the international front to impose sanctions on Israel if such a move was made.
"We are facing the moment of truth: nowhere on earth can we live with this annexation," he threatened. "If Israel goes to annexation, it is a different day for us . . . Annexation is an existential threat to our future."
There are four pillars of a Palestinian state: Gaza, Jerusalem, Areas A, B and C of the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, Shtayyeh said. Therefore, "annexation is the erosion of a future Palestinian state," he said, "and the world has to choose between international law and annexation. I am sure the international community will choose international law."
2. PA submits 'counter-proposal' to US plan, providing for demilitarized Palestine - Times of Israel
The Palestinian Authority has sent the diplomatic Quartet a plan for Palestinian statehood in response to the US Mideast proposal, which sees parts of the West Bank being annexed by Israel, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said Tuesday.
"We submitted a counter-proposal to the Quartet a few days ago," he said, referring to the group mediating the conflict, made up of the United Nations, United States, Russia and European Union.
Shtayyeh said that the PA's plan provides for the creation of a "sovereign Palestinian state, independent and demilitarized" with "minor modifications of borders where necessary."
The Palestinian text foresaw possible land swaps between the two future states on a like-for-like basis, he said at a press conference.
3. 'The entire Deal of the Century should be refused' - Israel National News
Daniella Weiss, leader of the Nachala movement, spoke to Arutz Sheva on Tuesday about her organization's opposition to the US administration's so-called "Deal of the Century".
"We are very concerned about the 'Deal of the Century' but to be concerned is not enough. We are acting in a very intensive way to completely put aside the whole plan, because this deal, as Ambassador David Friedman explained, has a tight connection between the idea of sovereignty for 30% of Judea and Samaria, including the Jordan Valley, and 70% for a Palestinian state," she said.
"The heads of the Yesha Council sit with ministers, with different representatives of the Israeli government and see how they can improve the map here and there. To me, it reminds me of the horrible picture of a sack of potatoes being thrown to the yard of a ghetto and people who are terribly hungry all pulling and they take the potatoes in order to survive."
"They should say no to the entire plan. It is just an illusion that there can be a separation of these two parts. I'm warning against the terrible thing of pushing to a Palestinian state, God forbid," said Weiss.
4. Netanyahu Turns to Police as Death Threats Mount - Jerusalem Online
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that he had filed another complaint with the police due to threats on social media addressed to him and members of his family.
"This morning, I filed another complaint with the police for incitement to murder me and my family. Recently, this incitement with an explicit call to kill me and members of my family has crossed a red line," Netanyahu wrote on Twitter, attaching screenshots of posts with the threats published on social media platforms.
The prime minister added that he was looking forward to a determined response from the police to bring those accountable to justice.

The Daily Brief
1. Democrat Senate Candidate Violated Ethics By Accepting Personal Gifts, Committee Rules - Daily Wire
A Democrat running for the U.S. Senate was found to have violated a ban on accepting personal gifts while in office, a state ethics committee ruled.
The Washington Free Beacon reported that former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper (D), who also ran a failed bid for president in 2019 and is currently running for the U.S. Senate, was in violation of the ban for accepting a flight on a campaign donor's priva te jet and using a Maserati limousine while attending a conference in Italy.
Hickenlooper also accepted three flights on friends' private jets, though the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission didn't find those violated the state's ban on receiving gifts, The Colorado Sun reported. The commission determined those particular flights fell under an exemption that allows gifts from friends or gifts that benefit the state.
"The verdict in the case - the state's most high-profile ethics trial since voters approved the ban in 2006 - came after a two-day hearing that started dramatically with Hickenlooper refusing to testify and being held in contempt. The commission delayed a decision about potential sanctions for the ethics violations and the contempt charge to June 12, but he faces a fine that amounts to double the benefits he received," the Sun reported. (Read more)
- Father, we rebuke the corruption and greed present in our entire political system. We Ask that in this case You change Mr. Hickenlooper's heart and show him the truth.
- "But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction." (1 Timothy 6:9)
2. Supreme Court ready to spark fury on gay and transgender rights - Washington Examiner
The Supreme Court this month will deliver a divisive ruling about whether or not Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects gay and transgender people from employment discrimination.
The case, Harris Funeral Homes v. EEOC, is a consolidation of several cases involving gay and transgender people arguing that Title VII's prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex should be expanded. It was heard in October and was the court's first on the issue since the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who delivered the decisive swing vote in the landmark 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges case, legalizing gay marriage.
No matter how the court rules, the decision is expected to heighten partisan disagreements. If the court does not extend protections, it will draw the ire of gay and transgender activists. If it rules for them, outcry is expected from religious groups worried that their ability to hire people who align with their beliefs will be restricted. (Read more)
- Oh, Lord, we ask that You would oversee the final stages of this controversial ruling so that only Your will and Your way will be honored in the end. We pray that all the justices will have Your mind as they deliver their decisions and that the decision will flow with Your plans for Your Kingdom on earth. We further speak peace over our country in the aftermath of this ruling and tell these Canaanite spirits to be silent before the Lord. We know that Your words produce peace and justice.
- "Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah." (Isaiah 1:10)
3. George Washington's Virginia church taking down his memorial - The Hill A church attended by George Washington will take down a memorial to the nation's first president, a move church leaders say is intended to make the place of worship more welcoming.
The Washington Times reported Friday that Christ Church in Alexandria, Va., will remove memorials of Washington and former Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, which stand on either side of the church's altar. "The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome," church leaders said. "Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return because they receive an unintended message from the prominent presence of the plaques."
Washington began attending the church soon after it opened in 1773, and bought a pew there. He attended for more than 20 years, though he appeared more regularly at Pohick Church, southwest of his estate at Mount Vernon. Father, we come against this bullying spirit of political correctness. We pray that people will start to stand up against this emotional movement with reason and the mind of Christ.
- Father, we come against this bullying spirit of political correctness. We pray that people will start to stand up against this emotional movement with reason and the mind of Christ. Lord, establish in our country the Your true values of righteousness and not whatever is considered to be popular at the moment.
- "And that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." (Ephesians 4:24)
4. US Congressional Candidates Tainted by Antisemitism Defeated in Iowa, New Mexico Primaries - The Algemeiner
Two high-profile candidates in Tuesday's election primaries who were tainted by racism and antisemitism lost their bids to serve in the US Congress. In Iowa, nine-term Republican congressman Steve King lost his party's primary to State Sen. Randy Feenstra, while in New Mexico, former CIA operative Valerie Plame was defeated by local attorney Teresa Leger Fernandez in the Democratic race to represent the 3rd congressional district.
Among those who welcomed King's defeat was the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC). "Steve King does not represent the Republican Party and it's time for him to leave Congress," RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said in a statement. "We are happy that Randy Feenstra, a strong conservative and a friend of Israel, will be our party's candidate for Congress in Iowa's 4th district seat this year." (Read more)
- Father, thank You for this victory in the US Congress! We pray for victories like this in all the primaries. Grant us godly men and women who serve You with all their heart and will not be moved, and will stand strong!

5. Health Experts: White Supremacy Contributes to COVID - Western Journalism
In the letter released last week, 1,288 "public health professionals, infectious diseases professionals, and community stakeholders" subscribed to the belief that "white supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19."
The letter, began with a complaint about the "heavily armed and predominantly white protesters" who dared to peacefully demonstrate against the stay-at-home orders that forced millions of hardworking and law-abiding Americans out of work.
Alternating between acting as medical experts and left-wing political activists, these "experts" acknowledged that "[s]taying at home, social distancing, and public masking are effective at minimizing the spread of COVID-19." However, they then proceeded to disregard their own advice by declaring that "we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission." (Read more)
- Father, we pray You open the eyes of people everywhere to see the contradiction in these statements. Give us ears to hear the truth and not be led astray.
- "If you have ears, pay attention!" (Matthew 11:15)
6. WHITE NC COPS & CIVILIANS WASH BLACK PROTESTERS', FAITH LEADERS' FEET - TMZ
A group of white police officers and other community members came together to wash their black brother's and sister's feet . . . and asked for forgiveness.
The scene that was captured Saturday in Cary, North Carolina . . . where, during BLM demonstrations, a handful of white folks came together to clean the feet of black religious leaders, while offering a prayer repenting for the sins inflicted on black people at large.
There's one man with a megaphone leading the prayer, and he acknowledges there's one race of people . . . going on to ask for forgiveness for their white ancestors enslaving, mistreating and oppressing African-Americans. (Read more)

7. Long lines, lack of voting machines frustrate voters during Georgia's primary election - The Hill
Voters in several Georgia counties experienced long lines and frustrations on Tuesday as the state held primary elections, with at least one precinct reportedly going hours without any voting machines. State leaders voiced their concerns about irregularities in two counties, Dekalb and Gwinnett, on social media and in comments to the press while voters raised their own issues experienced at the voting booth.
"Now being told line is out to the street at Sandtown Recreation Center and their machines are not working either @gasecofstate. Is this happening across the county or just on the south end?" tweeted Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D).
Goldie Taylor, an editor-at-large for The Daily Beast, tweeted that her voting machine at a precinct in Georgia's 5th Congressional District erroneously did not show the House election for that district, in which Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) is facing Barrington Martin II (D) in Tuesday's primary. (Read more)
- Father, safe and secure elections are so important to keeping our nation out of the clutches of socialism. We pray for every state election commission to come under Your authority and that You give them the wisdom and understanding about how to undermine and defeat corruption. We pray for effective watchdogs who will have the resources to intervene and turn things around for righteousness.
"But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No." For whatever is more than these is from the evil one." (Matthew 5:37)
8. NYC police officer charged with violently shoving protester - AP News New York City police officer caught on video violently shoving a woman to the ground during a Brooklyn protest over George Floyd's death was charged Tuesday with assault.
Officer Vincent D'Andraia, 28, was released on his own recognizance after a video arraignment and ordered to stay away from protester Dounya Zayer, who was hospitalized after hitting her head on the pavement in the May 29 altercation. She said she suffered a concussion and a seizure.
D'Andraia is also charged with criminal mischief, harassment and menacing. His lawyer pleaded not guilty on his behalf. D'Andraia did not say anything as he appeared on video from behind bars in a suit and protective face mask because of the coronavirus pandemic. He is due back in court in October. (Read more)
- Father, we pray for both people involved in this incident. At this point in our nation, we really don't know what is truth, but You do. Jesus, the truth sets the captives free--may Your freedom and healing love be released into hearts and lives of the people in our city streets -- protectors and protesters, alike. You are the answer to these troubled times.
- "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, 'Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!'" (John 1:29)
9. Barr, in FNC interview, calls defund police push 'dangerous' and 'wrong' - Fox News
Attorney General Bill Barr on Monday blasted calls from protesters and activists to defund police departments in the wake of George Floyd's death - saying in an exclusive interview with Fox News' Bret Baier that going after entire departments is "wrong" and "dangerous."
Barr's comments come as demonstrators in cities across the country are holding daily protests against police brutality and racial injustice. After Floyd, an unarmed black man, died in Minneapolis police custody after an officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes, a number of cities have proposed major cuts or reforms to police departments or - in the case of Minneapolis - moved to "dismantle" the force entirely.
Barr told Fox News he agreed on the need for changes in police departments to address the concerns of many people of color, but he stopped well short of supporting moves to defund departments.(Read more)
- Holy One, we are in a trying time right now, with the raging of the accusers overwhelming wisdom. The very thought of removing our police forces is appalling and the possibility that a replacement might be sharia islamic police is abhorrent. Would You please overwhelm this nation with Your peace and wisdom to do the right thing for all people. We, Your bride, know full well that You alone are the answer--may we impart Your grace into the hearts of the lost in these painful days and conversations, with Your love. Amen.
- "And the God of peace will crush satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen" (Romans 16:20)
10. Nasdaq sets new record, close to confirming bull market in place - Reuters
The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC rose to a new high on Monday, and looks on track to confirm that it was the first of Wall Street's main indexes to enter a bull market two and a half months ago, after Wall Street's nosedive on worries about the novel coronavirus.
According to a widely accepted definition, the tech-heavy index must officially end above its record high close at 9,817.18 on Feb. 19, before the spread of COVID-19 closed economies across the globe, to designate that a new bull market began when it bottomed on March 23 to close at 6,860.674. Monday marked back-to-back intraday records for the Nasdaq. On Friday it became the first of the big three indexes to bounce back to a record high. (Read more)

11. Trump calls Jared Kushner 'my star' after the adviser announces he's working with law enforcement to 'fix' policing - Business Insider
President Donald Trump referred to Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and senior White House adviser, as "my star" during a Monday White House roundtable with law enforcement. During the event, Kushner praised law-enforcement officials, several of whom were invited to the event, for embracing reform and "coming together to fix" policing after hearing the "cries from the community."
He added, "Hopefully at this time where there's a lot of people in the country who are feeling different pain and feeling different concerns, law enforcement can be a leader in coming together and helping us work towards bringing solutions that could bring this country forward." Trump then thanked Kushner and called him "my star." (Read more)
- Father God we ask that you would reveal yourself to Jared Kushner in a supernatural way. That he would repent and turn to you. We pray that he would start to seek your perfect will for the Trump administration and for the future of our country. We pray over President Trump that you would give him the gift of discerning of spirits and be able to discern right from wrong no matter who is giving him advice. In Jesus name amen.
- "So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin." (James 4:17)

The terrible deception
The Old Gray Lady, AKA, The New York Times, continues its downward spiral with fake news and editorializing passed off as news. It is now surfacing that the story the NYT wrote that the Bush family-the former president and his brother-were not going to vote for the reelection of President Trump is patently false, made up, fabricated. Speaking of the end of days, the Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:13, "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived." Christ told his disciples in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." There is deception all around us. We are in the midst of deception, living in a post-truth world where facts and truth and justice have fallen in the streets.
When the NYT story broke, a myriad of other news organizations, including Drudge, The Hill, The Independent, The Week, the mainstream media television networks, and others parroted and discussed the Times story ad nauseum without checking a single fact. These so-called reputable news organizations failed to look into the flimsy sourcing by the NYT, which quoted unnamed sources who were "familiar" with how the Bush family thinks. Ignored in the virtual trash can, was a complete denial from spokesman for former president Bush, Freddy Ford, who told the Texas Tribune, "This is completely made up. He is retired from presidential politics and has not indicated how he will vote."
As reported by The American Spectator, "Ford reiterated this statement to the Times, indicating that the former president would stay out of the election and speak only on policy issues, yet America's "newspaper of record" has yet to correct the story." A tweet from President Trump thanked George P. Bush for his endorsement posted by The Hill: "George P. Bush says he'll vote for Trump: "Only thing standing between America and socialism."" Quoting unnamed sources, and sources familiar with the situation, or knowledgeable sources may be OK for sports reporting, but it's not a good optic for politics. If someone doesn't want to put their name to it, it's probably suspect.
The problem is that when a fake news story is published and many news outlets just cut and paste and post it, it becomes fact immediately. This is when the newness of the "news" is at its peak. It circulates and settles in the minds of those who read it or hear about it. Then days later when the facts come out, the facts have far less impact and are seen or believed by far less people, so the damage is done even if there is a retraction. This is why discernment is so desperately needed. It's getting to the point that you cannot believe anything that you read from the news media, and probably not much of what you hear or see on television. These so-called "journalists" are liars and deceivers, deceiving and being deceived. Recognize the signs such as no named sources. Check things out for yourself.
IFA: Defunding the Police is a Terrible Idea
Intercessors for America:
Defunding the Police is a Terrible Idea
Defund the police? Have you ever heard of this? Have you ever thought that people would think that defunding the police would be a good idea?
For the first time in the history of our nation, the leaders of a major city, Minneapolis, intend to defund and disband their police force! So many city council members plan to vote in favor of this radical move that their decision will be veto-proof. The mayor, who opposes this move, would not be able to stop it. But he will certainly have to deal with the consequences.
This decision illustrates the most basic question we need to answer: Is man's nature essentially good or eternally flawed?
If you believe that man's nature is essentially good, then you would come to the same conclusion as the Minneapolis City Council. If man's nature is good, then if we do everything we can to give people the opportunity to do right, they will rise above circumstances, make moral decisions, and see the scourge of racism removed from our society. Law authorities could be replaced by education, social programs, and agreement about collective thought.
If you believe man is good, you believe in external solutions.
However, if you believe that man is eternally flawed (original sin nature), you would come to a completely different conclusion. You would believe what the Bible says in Romans 13:4-government's most basic role is as "God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer." You would see that because of the sinful nature of man, societies need rules and authority to retain law and order that protect everyone's freedoms. This structure is needed because sin will always be with us and only the moral teaching of Scripture (and the regenerative power of the Holy Spirit) give our society hope.
If you believe man is essentially flawed, you believe in internal solutions.

'Born Again by the Power of Jesus': Dozens of People Saved, Healed at Intersection Where Floyd Was Killed
The world has witnessed violent protests and peaceful demonstrations for nearly two weeks following the death of George Floyd.
But we've also seen testimonies of faith and love among Christian brothers and sisters, revealing that there is no racial division in Christ.
Now the streets of Minneapolis where Floyd was killed have become the site of an outpouring God's love and salvation as hundreds of people have gathered to glorify God through worship, evangelism, and baptism.
Videos and photos of this move of God have been posted across social media. Joel Bomberger, a preacher with Circuit Riders, shared an image of a baptism that occurred on the street while bystanders cheered during the joyous occasion.
"A team of our Circuit Riders went to Minneapolis to hold open-air preaching of Jesus and healing calls at the intersection where George Floyd was killed," Bomberger reports. "There are too many testimonies to recount!! They were able to preach to thousands and saw hundreds responding to the Gospel of Jesus!!"
He also reports, "Dozens and dozens of people healed, filled with hope, changed, and born again by the power of Jesus this weekend in Minneapolis!"
"Just got a text that a deaf ear was just opened by the power of Jesus! Praise God!" Bomberger says.
Team members from the ministry Circuit Riders traveled to Minneapolis to hold outdoor services where hundreds of people have prayed aloud and worshipped together.
Words of affirmation echo throughout the street corners as believers have declared their commitment to Jesus Christ.
One video shows a street preacher leading the crowd in a salvation prayer saying, "I believe that You rose again, defeating life and defeating death. I give you my life. The Holy Spirit . . . lead me, guide me, show me the fullness of what it means to follow You, in Jesus' name, Amen."
Brandon Marlow tweeted pictures of people praying together and embracing one another as a symbol of unity.
Even though hearts are still reeling from the injustice done to George Floyd, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is advancing as many are finding solace and salvation in a Heavenly Father who brings hope and healing.

ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOR LEADS ME
"The Lamb . . . will lead them to springs of living water." (Revelation 7:17)
Lyrics
All the way my Savior leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my guide?
Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.
All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father's house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages-
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages-
Jesus led me all the way.

Why a physicist wants to build a particle collider on the moon
As we probe deeper into the innermost workings of the universe, our particle physics experiments have become ever more complex. In order to reveal the secrets of the tiniest subatomic particles, physicists must make colliders and detectors as cold as possible, remove as much air as possible, and keep them as still as possible to get reliable results.
So at least one physicist is asking: What if we just skipped all that and set up our particle physics experiments on the moon?

22-Week Abortion Ban Lands on Colorado Ballot Thanks to
Pro-Life Signature Drive
Colorado voters this November will consider whether to prohibit abortion after 22 weeks of gestation thanks to the success of a bipartisan petition drive.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said this week that a coalition, known as Due Date Too Late, had turned in 153,204 valid signatures to place the pro-life Initiative 120 on the ballot, far more than the 124,632 that were required.
The initiative would make it "unlawful for any person to intentionally or recklessly perform or attempt to perform an abortion on any other person if the probable gestational age of the fetus is at least 22 weeks." It makes an exception for the life of the mother.
"This is an incredible victory for Due Date Too Late and our dedicated volunteers, who worked tirelessly to ensure that Coloradans will have the chance to vote to save lives from late-term abortion in November," said Lauren Castillo, spokesperson for the Due Date Too Late campaign. "The numbers handed in are indicative of the overwhelming support for Initiative 120 and we are prepared and excited for the next step in the campaign."
Colorado voters twice have defeated "personhood" proposals that would ban all abortions. Supporters of Initiative 120, though, say the public is on their side. (Christian Headlines) Read more.

Reading the Bible Together
WELCOME TO OUR BIBLE READATHON!
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." (Habakkuk 2:14)
> > > Reading the Word of God over our nation, six nights per week!! ALL NIGHT LONG!
We are now reading the Word of God every night (except on Sunday mornings) from midnight to 6:00 a.m. EDT. We are reading through the whole Word, from Genesis to Revelation, and beginning again in Genesis when finished. [As of this writing, over the past three years, we have now "read through" the entire Word of God sixty-five times, nonstop. Hallelujah!]
Our numbers of readers continues to grow over time. All are welcome to join, as we use "the weapons of OUR warfare" to confront our enemy and BRING HIM DOWN through the LOVE of our Messiah and, by faith, setting captives free!
Our conference number is: 712-432-0075. The access code is: 206425#.
Please call at any time from midnight to 6:00 a.m. EST! EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN OUR "WARFARE IN THE NIGHT", USING THE WEAPON OF HIS WARFARE - THE WORD OF GOD!
"For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
> > > A footnote: 2020 has been declared "the Year of the Bible."
Hallelujah!!
Please join us as, together, we "soak the very atmosphere of our nation" in the WORD OF GOD!
In closing, let us decree together that . . .
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105)
AMEN!!
