A  Message from the National Day of Prayer Something to Ponder on Pentecost 2021 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?  Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”                    (Acts 2: 1-11) Pentecost Sunday is this coming weekend, and marks the celebration of the Holy Spirit’s coming with power, signs, and wonders fifty days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Jesus had told His disciples that He would send Another Advocate, Intercessor, Consoler, Comforter, Helper – One who would be with them forever – and when He came, EVERYONE knew it! He came BOLDLY, with a GREAT COMMOTION, and EVIDENCES that no one could deny! The same Spirit and the same power that had raised Christ Jesus from the dead, now came to LIVE in them! When the Holy Spirit moved in, their lives changed immediately – and supernaturally. As we reflect on Pentecost this weekend, let’s reflect on this truth from Romans 8:11, as it applies to us, “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you.” … think about that!  The same Holy Spirit that came in BOLDLY like a MIGHTY, ROARING WIND at that first Pentecost, now LIVES IN US! If we have received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, then our lives should be overflowing with EVIDENCES that He lives in us!  The very SAME Advocate, Intercessor, Consoler, Comforter, Helper who was sent to THEM – has been sent to US! As we reflect on this truth, let’s ask ourselves the same question that Francis Schaeffer asked in the title of one of his books, “How Then Should We Live?” Let's pray. Holy Spirit, thank you for coming to be OUR Advocate, Intercessor, Consoler, Comforter, and Helper … One who is with US forever. Thank you for Your work in our life. Thank you for enabling us to live this life praying, sharing, and caring the way that YOU do. Thank You that You show Yourself BOLDLY, with a GREAT COMMOTION, and EVIDENCES in our lives that no one can deny. Pour out through us MORE! Love through us MORE! Live through us MORE! We ask this in all the mighty and powerful name of the Jesus Christ – Amen! A Message from P.M. Benjamin Netanyahu Netanyahu: Any Gaza rocket fire will be met with ‘whole new level of force’   Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Friday that the current round of fighting with Hamas, which appeared to end with an early morning ceasefire, would see a much tougher Israeli stance toward the terror group, and that any future rocket fire from Gaza would be met with “a whole new level of force.” He said Israel had achieved its military objectives in Gaza with “extraordinary” success. Speaking together with Netanyahu and other security chiefs, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said the truce created an opportunity for peace and it was now time for diplomacy to build a new reality “on the rubble of the homes of the Hamas leaders.” Added Gantz: “If we don’t act diplomatically, quickly and wisely,” this operation will go down as “simply another round of conflict to be followed by the next one.” In a special statement from the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, the prime minister said that the “rules of the game were changed” and there would now be no tolerance of any rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.

CRT is rooted in Marxism, an anti-American ideology that has caused untold suffering and death everywhere it has been implemented. Moreover, CRT teaches discrimination based on ethnicity and racial background.” “The governor has zero tolerance for state-sanctioned racism,” Pushaw emphasized, stressing that DeSantis adheres to the same principle expressed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in that he “believes that every child should learn to judge people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Keith Flaugh, Managing Director of Florida Citizens Alliance (FCA), is pleased by the announcement by DeSantis that CRT will have no place in Florida’s public schools. However, he is concerned about the content of textbooks, which are soon to be adopted in Florida’s public school system. “We’ve been huge supporters of a number of things DeSantis has done,” Flaugh told The Epoch Times. “We think he’s doing a great job on a lot of fronts, and we certainly applaud his words when he declares critical race theory as ‘whacko theory’ and being banned in Florida. The trouble is, those words have to mean something. Since we have every school district in Florida buying these English Language Arts textbooks right now—that will be in the classrooms for the next four to six years that are full of critical race theory—how does the governor maintain any credibility by saying he’s banned them when, in fact, critical race theory is rampant in the new textbooks they’re buying?” “These textbook manufacturers are the same publishers that gave us Common Core and they are very progressive,” Flaugh asserted.

WHY WOUNDED HEALERS ARE GOD’S SECRET WEAPON By Mario Murillo Ministries It is clear that a new breed of weapon is about to emerge.  They are the wounded healers.  Who are these people?  Well, they do not have every hair in place or a clean record.  They are not the sanitized, immaculate version of the Body of Christ.  They have messed up and then gotten back up.  Trampled and left for dead, God restored them! They have no image to protect or ego to wound.  They are the most dangerous people that Satan will ever face! They gained all new appetites in the furnace of affliction. They do not need the glory, and they eschew titles and awards.  Their unswerving passion is to show compassion and take prisoners of love.  You cannot get them to fight over doctrine, because they have been to the Cross.  They know the Blood that bought them, and then brought them back to life. They are like Peter at Pentecost.  Only a soul who has been handed another chance after denying the Lord three times will understand the inner fire of a wounded healer.  Who could write such a dangerous song as Amazing Grace but John Newton whose plaque says, “Once an infidel and libertine / A servant of slaves in Africa / Was, by the rich mercy of our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST / restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the Gospel which he had long laboured to destroy.” (Read more) Recent Floor Activity Daily Digests: M 5/17 • T 5/18 • W 5/19 • Th 5/20 • F 5/21 — Prayers   Related Headlines: Monday, 5/17 Senate Moves Forward With Bill Aimed at Countering China’s Rise — S. 1260 Tuesday, 5/18 Senate narrowly advances Biden civil rights nominee Marjorie Taylor Greene delivers impassioned speech on why she opposes Capitol riot commission — Full Speech, Subsequent speech on parallel tracks for protestor justice House Passes COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act Passes Congress — S. 937 Wednesday, 5/19 Senate repeals rule that provided employers with a written summary of the facts behind an EEOC complaint, a written explanation of the legal justification, and 14 days to respond — S.J.Res. 13 House votes to condemn Atlanta spa shootings — H.Res. 275 House passes Fairness in Orphan Drug Exclusivity Act, related to drugs not economically viable due to rarity of the diseases they treat — H.R. 1629 House Democrats Vote Against Hamas Sanctions — Debate, Vote to oppose sanctions, H.R. 261 text Democrats block GOP move to end House chamber mask mandate — H.Res. 414 House Passes January 6 Commission Bill, 252-175, over GOP objections — H.R. 3233 House passes resolution condemning hate crimes against Asian Americans — H.Res. 275 Thursday, 5/20 Senate declined to pass resolutions related to Israel — S.Res. 226, S.Res. 225 House Passes Bill Approving $1.9 Billion More for US Capitol Security, 'Squad' vote against — H.R. 3237 Congress Last Week National Security House Republicans aim to stamp out 'woke' military training 23 House Republicans Demand Reinstatement Of Space Force Commander Fired For Criticizing Marxism House Republicans Aim to Stamp Out Critical Race Theory in Military Training GOP Lawmakers Reintroduce Legislation to Confront CCP Espionage Foreign Policy GOP Senators Announce Resolution To Support Israel’s Right to Defend Itself Amid Attacks From Hamas As Israel faces Hamas rocket attacks, these are its most virulent critics in Congress • Top House Democrat to request pause on arms sale to Israel: reports • Democrat Congresswoman Appears To Claim Israel Should Be Blamed For Hamas Firing Rockets Pelosi Calls for US and World Leaders to Boycott China’s 2022 Olympics Senate Needs To Keep Its Eye on the China Challenge, Not Political Spending Priorities Biden administration confirms it's waiving sanctions over Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline • Senate Foreign Relations Chairman to Biden: “rip off the Band-Aid, lift these waivers & move forward with the congressionally mandated sanctions” — Chairman Menendez Statement • GOP bill would reimpose sanctions on Kremlin-backed Nord Stream 2 after Biden waiver Introduced: S.Res.220 -
