Under the Cross of Christ" Today's Top Story  FBI Altered Statement on Intrusion Into Democratic Network Based on Input From Democrats’ Lawyer  A lawyer representing Democrats proposed alterations to an FBI statement on the hacking of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to avoid undermining the narrative from his clients, according to emails released as part of the trial of former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann. FBI officials in mid-2016 were drafting a statement regarding an alleged intrusion into the DCCC network and sent the draft to Sussmann, a lawyer representing the DCCC, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and other Democrats. Jim Trainor, assistant director for the FBI Cyber Division, wrote to Sussmann on July 29, 2016: “Michael—our press office is once again getting a ton of calls on the DCCC matter. A draft response is provided below. Wanted to get your thoughts on this prior to sending out.” Sussmann zeroed in on the first sentence, which he said seemed to undermine what the DCCC was saying about the reported intrusion. “The draft you sent says only that the FBI is aware of media reports; it does not say that the FBI is aware of the intrusion that the DCCC reported. Indeed, it refers only to a ‘possible’ cyber intrusion and in that way undermines what the DCCC said in its statement (or at least calls into question what the DCCC said),'” Sussmann said. Sussmann proposed changing the press release from saying the FBI is aware of reporting on “a possible cyber instruction involving the DCCC” to saying the bureau “is aware of the cyber intrusion involving the DCCC that has been reported in the media and the FBI has been working to determine the nature and scope of the matter.” Trainor said the proposed alterations were fine.“We try to really limit what we see and not acknowledging too much but the below edits are fine and we will send out,” Trainor said. The bureau ended up using language similar to that offered by Sussmann, telling news outlets that it was “aware of media reporting on cyber intrusions involving multiple political entities, and is working to determine the accuracy, nature, and scope of these matters.” (Epoch Times) Read more here. - We continue to pray in the spirit over this complex case, asking for all hidden details to be exposed and for justice to be served. We ask our Lord to strengthen the hands of John Durham, who is a man who walks in truth. Thank You, Lord, amen and amen. - "For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light." (Luke 8:17)  House Judiciary Committee Votes to Advance Expansive Gun Control Bill The House Judiciary Committee on June 2 voted to advance a gun control bill in the wake of a deadly shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The final vote fell along party lines, with every committee Republican voting against the legislation and every committee Democrat voting to advance it. Splits between Democrats and Republicans were on full display during the hearing, which focused on the “Protecting Our Kids” Act, H.R. 7910. That bill, among other provisions, would ban the sale of “any semiautomatic centerfire rifle or semi-automatic centerfire shotgun that has, or has the capacity to accept, an ammunition feeding device with a capacity exceeding 5 rounds” to citizens below the age of 21; currently one only needs to be 18 to buy such a weapon. It would also codify the Department of Justice’s controversial ban on bump stocks, a weapon modification that increases the fire rate of a semiautomatic firearm. In addition, it would also make it a federal crime to possess weapons that critics have pejoratively labeled “ghost guns,” usually describing homemade or 3D-printed weapons without a serial number.

We ask that Your people would RISE UP and let their voices be heard in opposition to additional gun legislation. It is people who kill people . . . not their guns. In Your Holy name, amen and amen. - "When I said, ‘This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!’" (Job 38:11)   RED ALERT! China Is About To Exploit Serious Weaknesses In US Military Might, Analyst Warns   China has developed new weapons after being humiliated during previous encounters with the U.S. military, Brandon Weichert, a geopolitical analyst, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “In ’96 the Chinese watched what happened, they were thoroughly humiliated, and Beijing said never again,” Weichert told TheDCNF. China’s new carrier killer missiles, hypersonic missiles and aircraft carriers threaten U.S. interests around the world, Weichert said.   China intends to deploy new missile systems and a third aircraft carrier to exploit U.S. military weaknesses, a geopolitical analyst told The Daily Caller News Foundation. China may be able to successfully invade Taiwan because American forces are overextended and the U.S. Navy has become over-reliant on aircraft carriers, Brandon Weichert, a consultant for the U.S. Air Force, told TheDCNF. Washington may also be unable to stop Beijing from launching hypersonic missiles or building military bases outside the Indo-Pacific, Weichert said. “The American Navy I would argue is at its weakest or its smallest probably since the interwar years in terms of what it can do in terms of if it’s pushed into multiple areas of conflict,” Weichert said. “Our Navy now is having to triage and pick what it is going to focus on at the expense of other important regions.” Weichert, the author of “Winning Space: How America Remains A Superpower,” cited the U.S. halting sales of Howitzers to Taiwan in favor of arming Ukraine in May as evidence Washington is already unable to meet global security demands. “The Pentagon is finding that these critical systems are being drained faster than they can be replaced by our ailing manufacturing base,” Weichert said. “We’re going to have to start figuring out very soon where we’re going to cut in order to refocus on China.” (Daily Caller) Read more here.  - Father God, we repent that our leaders have allowed our military to be in such a state of shambles, just when Communist China is doing its own saber-rattling. We praise You for the many troops who have stood firm, choosing to leave the military instead of taking the dangerous and untested vaccines. We now ask for a miracle of divine intervention, that by Your Hand, our military might be restored to its normal strength. Thank You, Holy One, for hearing our prayers, amen and amen. - "“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming [k]locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you."  (Joel 2:25)    2022 Congressional Elections Today's Focus is on the June 7, 2022 State Primaries in:  California, Iowa, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota  To learn more, go here.  In Context: Supreme Court Damage Showing Normally, this weekly update is about Congress, those elected to the Legislative Branch and their actions in their elected capacity. There's also no question that each Branch also affects the other. This time of year, as the Supreme Court approaches the normal end of its ~9-month term in June, its decisions usually come more frequently, appear in national news headlines, and redirect policymaking conversations in Washington. The Court usually takes about 60 cases per annual term, hears oral arguments from September through April, and then has about half of those cases remaining to decide during the remaining 2+ months of its term. This year, as of 5/1, the Court was already 4 cases behind its opinion-issuing pace from the two prior years. Since the leak of the Alito draft opinion in the Dobbs abortion case a month ago, it has issued only 4 opinions, and none since 5/23. For post-6/1-issued opinions, the Court is now about 10 cases behind pace from the two prior years. That's now upwards of a 50 percent increase in its amount of work remaining. The contentiousness of the legal issues in the Dobbs case may have already been slowing the Court down before the leak (the case was heard in December and Alito's draft was from February), and it may have dramatically slowed down internal deliberations since then. In the Court's press release acknowledging the leak, Chief Justice Roberts claimed, “The work of the Court will not be affected in any way.” Nonetheless, trust was damaged. The conclusion of oral arguments marks the beginning of peak season for the Court to be transferring opinion drafts back and forth among the justices and their clerks. Court watchers could already infer plenty of draft circulation from prior opinions, and now the Court overtly acknowledged the practice in that press release: “Justices circulate draft opinions internally as a routine and essential part of the Court’s confidential deliberative work.” While we trust the quality of the Court's work “will not be affected in any way,” the pace of such work is less sure. The Supreme Court has returned to being tight-lipped about its internal deliberations, but its decelerated pace of action shows damage inside the Court. This Court was already on pace for this year's opinions to take well into July under normal circumstances. With increased security imposed on internal deliberations, an ongoing investigation into the leak, and aggressive protests planned, it would not be out of the question for the Court's final conclusion of this term to take into August. The longer this Court takes to finish this term the more the damage will be evident. That the more controversial cases take longer and are released closer to the end of the term could also be due to the intensity of internal debate and struggle over the outcome. While we would prefer the Alito opinion become official sooner than later, it's not hard to see how any justice could delay the release of the final opinion. The Court has designated Monday, 6/6/2022, as its next opinion issuance day. We trust the more it can stay on pace, the more the Lord brought healing to the Court. Father, we have much about the Court to bring before you. We ask that You: restore rightful trust among the justices and their clerks, reveal the source of the leak so it can be rooted out, put in place additional steps and security (digital and analog) to make any future leaks easier to trace, bring healing to the Court (justices, clerks, staff, operations), protect the draft Alito opinion in the Dobbs case, and bring about a right and just opinion for the unborn and all affected by state laws intended to protect human life, work in the hearts of justices and clerks working on dissents against Your Will in that case, may there be clear and convincing answers against any opposition to legally protecting human life, protect the work You're doing in the many cases remaining for the Court, not to be rushed or dismissed, but handled thoroughly as you would intend and as the Court would normally be able to do, work in the hearts of the American people to accept Your Will and the outcomes in this year's cases that You want to bring from this Court, make it clear that these are Your works and use them to turn the heart's of people toward You in all aspects of their lives. Father, we thank You for the work You've already done, for the good decisions you've already established, even in these requests, and we thank You for Your love for us including in giving us a part in this significant and important work You're doing in our lives and in the life of the United States of America. “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” (Philippians 1:3-11) Tim McGhee CHPP Legislative Analyst, Pray for Congress Recent Floor Activity Daily Digests – House • Senate — Prayers Congress Last Week Foreign Policy Portman crosses into Ukraine, calls for more artillery shipments • What's in Biden's $700 million military aid package for Ukraine • Five questions about U.S. help for Ukraine: (1) Is this the first/only time Washington has imposed a restriction on how Kyiv’s forces may use a weapons system provided by the United States or its allies?

Indeed, He commands us to  "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" Matthew 3:2 How, then, can we approach His Throne of GRACE, in repentance? We invite you to join us every week on Sunday evening, as we explore this vital topic together. We present a different prayer focus each week, leading us into repentance, so that we might approach His Throne of Grace in repentance, presenting ourselves to Him as a pure and a spotless Bride, without spot or wrinkle. (Ephesians 5:27) Praying together, we desire to fulfill the mandate of Psalm 139: " Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:24 You can join us, any Sunday evening, at 10:00 p.m. EST by calling: 712-770-5350 Access Code: 150411# ". . . 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."
