Trump Signs $2 Trillion Coronavirus Stimulus Bill
Trump signs $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill
President Donald Trump on Friday signed the $2 trillion coronavirus economic stimulus bill, putting in motion desperately needed financial relief for millions of Americans set back by the pandemic.
Trump signed the bill just hours after the House passed it in a bipartisan vote.
"I want to thank Democrats and Republicans for coming together and putting America first," Trump said. "We got hit by the invisible enemy and we got hit hard," he added. "I think we are going to have a tremendous rebound."
The legislation, which passed unanimously in the Senate on Wednesday, will provide billions of dollars in relief for struggling industries, a significant boost to unemployment insurance and direct cash payments to Americans, many of whom have been financially devastated by the outbreak.
Before signing the bill, Trump marveled at the size of it. "I never signed anything with a 'T' on it," he said.
The more than $2 trillion bill is the largest economic relief package in modern U.S. history.
At the White House signing ceremony, Trump was flanked by Vice President Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as well as several members of his Cabinet. (Yahoo News) Read more.

Bombshell News Out of Israel
BOMBSHELL: Emergency unity government suddenly forming in Israel. In shock move, Gantz to serve as Foreign Minister for 18 months, then become Prime Minister. Netanyahu then to step down. Blue & White Party breaking up in fierce disagreement. Here's the latest.
By Joel C. Rosenberg
Thursday, March 26, 2020
(Jerusalem, Israel) -- The coronavirus pandemic appears to be accomplishing something that three elections couldn't. It's forcing Israel's long-deadlocked party leaders to put the well-being of the nation ahead of their own political fortunes.
More than 2,500 Israelis now have the virus. Eight have died. Decisive action is needed to save lives and our economy.
Like most Israelis, I've been calling for months for a unity government. It now appears to be at hand. But it's a bombshell story -- almost entirely unexpected by most Israelis -- and events are fast-moving and updating almost minute by minute.
Here's what we know so far:
* Netanyahu and Gantz are creating an emergency unity government, in a deal apparently brokered by Israeli President Reuven Rivlin.
* Gantz was just elected as Speaker of the Knesset, winning 74 votes in favor, 18 were opposed, and the rest abstained.
* But this is only temporary -- once the full agreement is finalized and signed, Gantz will become Foreign Minister for 18 months.
* Netanyahu will serve as Prime Minister for 18 more months.
* Then, Gantz will become the Prime Minister. * It's not clear at this hour what happens to Netanyahu at that point.
* Upset with this move, two of Gantz's key allies -- Yair Lapid and Moshe "Bogie" Yaalon -- have rejected the Gantz move.
* The Blue & White Party is now breaking up. * Gantz's team are expected to get the major Cabinet portfolios, including the Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry, Justice Ministry and the Economic Ministry.
* These are enormous concessions by Netanyahu and the Likud.
* In his first speech after being elected Knesset speaker, Benny Gantz says "democracy has won," the Times of Israel reported. Gantz says he was chosen "to unify the people and not divide." Gantz added: "I promise to all Israelis to do the right thing at this time. The Knesset will work for the people and citizens - all of them."
* Not clear yet: what happens when Netanyahu goes on trial.
Thought for the Day
Thought for the Day:
Habakkuk 3:17,18
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
- In this barren time, we praise the Lord for His promise to His people. Thank You Lord, that in Your time, You WILL provide for Your people once again. Amen.

Operation Restoration
BULLETIN!! PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW NUMBER AND ACCESS CODE:
712-770-5350

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.
