Trump Moves Tulsa Rally
Trump Moves Tulsa Rally So It Won't Fall On Juneteenth
President Donald Trump moved a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, so it would no longer fall on June 19th, or Juneteenth, the day commemorating Black emancipation from slavery.
The president had been criticized for planning a rally on the holiday, specifically in Tulsa, the site of a 1921 racist massacre of Black people by white mobs. Trump said the rally will be on June 20.
"Many of my African American friends and supporters have reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out of respect for this Holiday, and in observance of this important occasion and all that it represents," Trump wrote on Twitter late Friday. "I have therefore decided to move our rally to Saturday, June 20th, in order to honor their requests."
Pressed about Trump's decision to hold a rally in Tulsa on Juneteenth, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters Thursday that it was a "meaningful day" for Trump, adding, "The African American community is very near and dear to his heart." (Yahoo News) Read more here.
- Father God, we thank You for the sensitivity demonstrated by President Trump in making this announcement. We continue to be watchful for any actions we might be able to take, bringing healing and restoration to our land. Amen.
- "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12)
HHS Protects Civil Rights
HHS Finalizes Rule Protecting Civil Rights in Healthcare, Restoring the Rule of Law
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finalized a rule under Section 1557 of Obamacare that maintains vigorous enforcement of federal civil rights laws on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, and sex, and restores the rule of law by revising certain provisions that go beyond the plain meaning of the law (particularly with respect to the definition of "sex"). The final rule will also relieve the American people of approximately $2.9 billion in undue and ineffective regulatory burdens over five years. Learn more here:

President Trump Defends Religious Liberty
Executive Order on Advancing International Religious Freedom
On Tuesday, June 2, President Trump took another strong step to support religious liberty worldwide.
To read his Executive Order on Advancing International Religious Freedom, please go here.
. . . In addition, in recent days, other actions have been taken in our own nation by the administration, again defending our right to practice religious freedom:
1. Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband sent a letter expressing religious liberty concerns with the county orders of a suburban - DC county.
To read this press release by the Department of Justice, please go here.
2. The Department of Justice filed a statement of interest in a Washington State federal court supporting the First Amendment religious liberty claims of a Pierce County church.
To read this press release, please go here.
- Father God, we thank You that President Trump, Attorney General William Barr, and other members of this administration are working tirelessly to uphold our own religious freedom, and our civil rights. We ask that You would grant each one a fresh infilling of Your Holy Spirit, that they would be supernaturally strengthened to accomplish the tasks that are now set before them. In Your Name, amen.
- "He will be a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment, a source of strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate." (Isaiah 28:6)

Once each week, on Sunday mornings and for 24 hours, join with others in OPERATION RESTORATION . . .
"Operation Restoration"
This initiative is based upon the Move of the Spirit that was launched last month during Operation Refiner's Fire. The LORD has shown us that He has used those fires to ignite the FIRE of the HOLY SPIRIT to visit our people, which He now yearns to keep burning among our people until the day of His return!
"Operation Restoration" is based on the promise of Scripture, recorded in
2 Chronicles 7:14,15.
It is written:
. . . "and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."
This is a weekly Solemn Assembly, where saints can feel free to gather each Sunday, to offer prayers of repentance before our Lord, for the many sins our nation has committed before Him.
Abba so desires to hear our prayers . . . He is just waiting to heal us!
You can join us, any Sunday, beginning at 9:00 a.m. EST by calling:
712-770-5350
Access Code: 150411#
Each week, our conference line for Operation Restoration will remain open until Monday morning at 9:00 a.m.EST -- allowing for 24 hours of nonstop prayer before our King of Kings, that He might, indeed, "heal our land." Amen.
