Under the Cross of Christ" Standing in Agreement: Hurricane IDA will diminish, TURN and go out to sea!  New Orleans evacuates as Hurricane Ida could strengthen to Category 4 with 140 mph winds  Ida could make landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on Sunday when it hits the Gulf Coast with maximum winds of 140 mph, according to the latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center.  Mandatory evacuations are being ordered in Louisiana on Friday as Ida gains strength in the gulf.  The storm was about 90 miles southwest of Havana, Cuba around 5 p.m. ET on Friday. Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and western Cuba will face heavy rains, flash flooding, and mudslides throughout Friday evening.  President Biden declared a state of emergency in Louisiana on Friday afternoon, directing the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts.  Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards also declared a state of emergency earlier in the week and warned residents Friday to spend their weekend preparing for the storm.  "While we’re going to have lots of people, lots of boats and helicopters, and we’re going to do urban search and rescue just as soon as we possibly can, everyone is encouraged to have three days worth of supplies on hand," Gov. Edwards said at a press conference Friday. "That’s the rule of thumb. The first 72 hours are on you."

Lord God, in Your Word, we see that even the wind the waves obey You. Lord God, would You please extend Your Hand over this storm, cause it to abate, and to turn back into the Gulf Coast. We ask this prayer in Jesus' name, amen and amen. - 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?  (Mark 4:37-41) Prayer update on the Afghanistan crisis Please read John Robb's latest Prayer update on the Afghanistan crisis. Go Here   Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America August 27th Update: 1. If the Democrats could fight wars as well as they execute Election Fraud, we would have obliterated all of our many enemies throughout the World, and would have nothing to worry about!  2. The Leftist “select committee” has further exposed itself as a partisan sham and waste of taxpayer dollars with a request that’s timed to distract Americans from historic and global catastrophes brought on by the failures of Joe Biden and the Democrats. Unfortunately, this partisan exercise is being performed at the expense of long-standing legal principles of privilege. Executive privilege will be defended, not just on behalf of my Administration and the Patriots who worked beside me, but on behalf of the Office of the President of the United States and the future of our Nation. These Democrats only have one tired trick—political theater—and their latest request only reinforces that pathetic reality.  In Context After an abbreviated 2-day work week for the House, Congress has returned to its August recess. The Senate returns in two weeks, the House in three weeks. Upon returning to Washington, the Congressional agenda is quite full: 1. Fund the U.S. Federal government for a year within two weeks, or extend last year's funding levels while next year's funding is finalized. 2. Manage the national debt which is expected to be at its limit in October or November. 3. The Biden/Democratic agenda: elections, infrastructure, union support. 4. Taliban response. Even before the Afghanistan government collapse and  subsequent terrorist attacks, Congressional leadership has been in discussions about war authorization repeal votes. Senate Majority Leader Schumer has announced his intention to bring election-related legislation to the Senate floor as soon as the Senate returns.
