‘Huge Biological Risk’ After Lab Containing Deadly Diseases Seized in Sudan: WHO

A World Health Organization (WHO) official warned on Tuesday that there was a “huge biological risk” in the capital of Sudan after one of the fighting parties took control of a laboratory containing samples of deadly diseases.

Dr. Nima Saeed Abid, the WHO’s representative in Sudan, told a United Nations briefing in Geneva via video link from Port Sudan that the central public health laboratory in Khartoum—which stores disease pathogens for polio, among others—has been seized by armed forces and technicians are unable to secure the hazardous materials after being removed from the building.

Abid expressed concerns that fighters “kicked out all of the technicians” from the laboratory, adding that he believes the building is now completely under the control of one of the fighting parties as a military base. Abid did not say which of the fighting sides had taken over the laboratory, which also reportedly contains a major blood bank.

“That is extremely, extremely dangerous because we have polio isolates in the lab. We have measles isolates in the lab. We have cholera isolates in the lab,” Abid said. “There is a huge biological risk associated with the occupation of the central public health lab in Khartoum by one of the fighting parties.”

The expulsion of technicians and power cuts in the Sudanese capital means “it is not possible to properly manage the biological materials that are stored in the lab for medical purposes,” the WHO said.

The lab is located in central Khartoum, close to flashpoints of the fighting that pits Sudan’s military against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group that grew out of the notorious Janjaweed militias implicated in atrocities in the Darfur conflict. (The Epoch Times) Read more

Holy One, we ask You to hover over this volatile situation, keeping everything under the shadow of Your wings.  We ask You to neutralize all pathogens and wicked intentions, in Jesus name.  We declare that no illegal or unrighteous virus will come out of this lab or any other in Jesus name and we bind and silence every plot to release another virus pandemic, and bring it under the authority of Almighty God.  We trust the presence of God and the blood of Jesus over this situation and believe Holy King, that You will block the plans of the wicked ones, in Jesus name.  

"But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe."  (Jude 5)

Bill Requiring Schools To Inform (Indiana) Parents Of Students’ Pronoun Changes Headed To Governor’s Desk 

A bill requiring schools to inform parents if their child requests to change their name or pronouns is headed to the governor’s desk after passing in the Indiana House of Representatives Monday.

House Bill 1608, authored by Republican state Rep. Michelle Davis, overwhelmingly passed the state House Monday in a 63 to 28 vote. The bill is now headed to Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb’s desk to sign only weeks after he signed legislation banning transgender medical procedures for minors. 

The bill would also ban any education on “human sexuality” for pre-K through third grade, according to the bill’s text, in addition to barring schools from withholding information from parents if a student requests a pronoun or name change.

Davis told the Daily Caller News Foundation that she believed the bill was the “right policy” for Indiana parents.

“I continue to hear from constituents who are concerned about what their kids are being taught in the classroom, and that they’re being left out of important discussions with their children,” Davis said. “I think this is the right policy to ensure Hoosier parents are in the driver’s seat when it comes to introducing sensitive topics to their kids by keeping instruction on human sexuality out of pre-K through third grade. The bill also increases transparency by requiring that parent be notified if their child is struggling with their gender identity at school.” (Daily Caller) Read more

We thank You Father, for the lawmakers of Indiana who are taking a stand to protect parental rights regarding their children and what is taught in the schools.  We bless everyone involved for this law that requires the schools to notify parents and submit to their authority in the lives of their children.  We pray for strong enforcement tools and consequences so that schools can be required to uphold the laws of their state, in Jesus name. 

"And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him."  (Psalm 37:40)

‘Just Say You’re Gay:
 
Border Agents Say Migrants Would Abuse Dems’ Proposal To Not Detain LGBTQ Migrants

A bill congressional Democrats are proposing that would force immigration authorities to release migrants who say they’re part of the LGBTQ community would be ripe for fraud and abuse, four Border Patrol agents, who requested anonymity because they’re not authorized to speak publicly, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, which was introduced by Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Democratic Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, would force federal authorities to not detain “vulnerable” migrants, including those who claim to be LGBTQ, according to the text of the bill. The four border agents, who all work along the southern border with Mexico, believe that migrants are likely to see this as a new opportunity to get released into the country and will lie about their sexuality or gender to do so, they told the DCNF.

“I’ve only seen a handful of LGBTQ [migrants], but if this is passed I guarantee everyone is going to be LGBTQ,” one agent told the DCNF.

All of the Border Patrol agents who spoke to the DCNF predicted migrants would abuse the bill’s authority, if it’s passed into law, to ensure they’re not detained.

“I feel like it’s just another incentive or tool for them to use to get into our country, with no restrictions. They would be backed by our own government approval, which will only encourage more illegal entry and a reason to gain free entry,” a second agent told the DCNF. (Daily Caller) Read more

Holy One, clearly that the legislators have the intelligence to understand the long-range consequences of this action, so then, perhaps that is the plan with this proposed bill.  We bind and rebuke the plans of these legislators to further degrade our national sovereignty by opening another door for people to cross the border without consequences.  We command full exposure and repudiation of this agenda, in Jesus name and ask Mighty God, that You would put a massive roadblock on this border and bless and empower the Border Patrol in their difficult jobs, in Jesus name.  

"All the ends of the world Shall remember and turn to the Lord, And all the families of the nations Shall worship before You.  For the kingdom is the Lord's, And He rules over the nations."  (Psalm 22:27-28)

FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Israeli envoy blasts UN, honors fallen IDF soldiers and terror victims before walking out - World Israel News
 

The United Nations Security Council convened Tuesday for an open debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict despite requests to move the meeting by Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan in order to respect the sanctity of Yom HaZikaron, Israel’s Memorial Day for fallen IDF soldiers and victims of terror.

In an act of protest, Ambassador Erdan read the names of the troops who fell and those murdered by Palestinian terror over the past year, lit a memorial candle, and left the chamber.

Before leaving the chamber together with the Israeli delegation, Ambassador Erdan slammed the members of the Council.

“We made numerous requests to reschedule today’s debate, describing the deep importance of the day, yet tragically, this Council refused to budge. The decision to nonetheless hold this debate on today of all days only further proves what Israelis already know and feel about this biased organization,” he said. (Read more)  

2. Jewish Federations’ annual conference becomes embroiled in political battles - JNS

(April 25, 2023 / JNS) While “dialogue” was a central theme of the “Israel at 75 General Assembly,” the annual gathering of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), held this week in Tel Aviv to coincide with the 75th anniversary of Israel’s birth, several of the key discussion topics appeared overwhelmingly one-sided.

This was especially evident when it came to the foremost political issue of the day—judicial reform—a topic that has consumed Israel’s political landscape for the past three months.

Federation told JNS that it strove to present “leaders from the opposition and coalition representing a diversity of views and opinions,” referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Knesset member Simcha Rothman, a key architect of judicial reform. (Read more)  

3. Meeting PM at Israel Prize event, two recipients warn of danger to society - Times of Israel

Concluding Independence Day celebrations, the Israel Prize, the country’s highest civilian honor, was awarded on Wednesday to 12 citizens, two of whom used the opportunity to personally appeal to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his government’s controversial judicial overhaul plan.

The diverse group of recipients including researchers, scientists, and artists received their prize at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem, at a ceremony attended by Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, Supreme Court President Esther Hayut, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana and Education Minister Yoav Kisch.

This year’s prizes included three honorees for lifetime achievement: Amnon Shashua, the president and CEO of Mobileye; Rachel Haber, chair of the Matnat Chaim kidney donation organization; and Druze author and former Likud MK Amal Nasser el-Din, who chairs the Druze branch of Yad Labanim, an organization that assists bereaved families.

4. Palestinian Authority: Israel ‘playing with fire’ at Temple Mount - Jerusalem Post

Palestinian Authority officials on Wednesday stepped up their attacks against Israel and warned that its policies, especially on the Temple Mount, would lead to violence and instability in the region.

The attacks came in response to visits by Jews to al-Haram al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary), the Muslims’ term for the Temple Mount, and the dispute over the Bab al-Rahma prayer hall in the eastern part of the Aqsa Mosque compound.

The officials expressed outrage after some of the Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount carried Israeli flags. (Read more)   

5. Anonymous Sudan claims it hacked Netanyahu's website - Israel National News

A hacker group calling itself Anonymous Sudan claimed to have hacked and taken down the website of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today (Wednesday).

It appears that Netanyahu's website was briefly taken offline by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.

Netanyahu's Facebook page was also hacked and briefly displayed a video of Arabic-language prayers at a mosque. (Read more)

1. Asa Hutchinson, ex-Arkansas governor, launches bid for 2024 GOP presidential nomination - CBS News

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson formally launched his long-shot bid for the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nomination on Wednesday, making the case that his "mettle has been tested" and he's ready to take on President Biden.

The former governor, congressman, administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and border security official had previously said he would run for president, and formally launched his campaign with a speech in Bentonville, Arkansas, his birthplace. 

"Today, I am announcing that I am a candidate for president of the United States," Hutchinson told supporters. "In this campaign for president, I stand alone in terms of my experience, my record and leadership. From Congress to the DEA to Homeland Security, I have served our country in times of crisis. (Read more)

- Lord God, we thank you that you will make it known to your people by your Spirit your will for this upcoming election. Show us who you would like to be elected to rule and govern this country. We declare that we want what you want, Lord, and we want whoever is going to stand up for righteousness and justice in Jesus name, amen.

- “Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.”

2. House to vote on plan to raise debt ceiling, slash spending despite potential GOP holdouts - DML News

Senior Republican lawmakers emerged from their closed-door conference meeting Wednesday morning confident that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s bill to increase the federal government’s borrowing limit and cut federal spending will pass the House in a vote later today.

McCarthy told reporters he expected the vote to come today but did not say whether he had 218 votes to get it over the line. With his razor-thin majority, McCarthy can afford to lose four GOP votes at most to pass what’s shaping up to be his largest test as Speaker yet.

House Rules Committee Chair Tom Cole, R-Okla., told reporters “I do” when asked if he thought there would be a vote on the bill today, after his panel led a six-hour hearing overnight to get the bill ready for the floor. (Read more)

- Lord God, we praise and worship you for righteous leaders, who are wanting to control spending, use taxpayer money wisely, and not be wasteful. We pray that others would be inspired by the same character traits, and remember the duty that they have to serve the American public and use our resources wisely. In Jesus name, amen.

- “Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.” (Roman’s 13:8)

3. Disney files lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis - DML News

Disney is suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis after the state revoked its self-governing authority in a highly publicized feud over the company’s political activities.

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc., filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida on Wednesday, alleging DeSantis led a “targeted campaign of government retaliation” against the company that violates Disney’s free speech rights.

“Disney regrets that it has come to this. But having exhausted efforts to seek a resolution, the Company is left with no choice but to file this lawsuit to protect its cast members, guests, and local development partners from a relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials,” the complaint states. (Read more)

- Heavenly Father, thank you for those who fulfill your purpose for government–to punish those who do evil and praise those who do good. Thank you for our leaders that take a stand against evil. We pray protection over DeSantis that you give him wisdom and help him in this fight. Let this situation be fruitful for Your glory and the protection of the children whom You dearly love.

- “or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.” (1 Peter 2:14)

4. Whistleblower to tell House that US govt is ‘middleman’ in multi-billion dollar migrant child trafficking op - DML News

A House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on Wednesday will feature the testimony from a whistleblower who will warn lawmakers that the U.S. has become the “middleman” in a multi-billion dollar migrant child trafficking operation at the border.

The hearing, “The Biden Border Crisis: Exploitation of Unaccompanied Alien Children,” will be held by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security and Enforcement and will examine the surge in unaccompanied children (UACs) at the southern border.

When child migrants are encountered at the border, they are transferred into the custody of Health and Human Services (HHS) and then united with a sponsor — typically a parent or family member already in the U.S. (Read more)

- Lord God this news does not surprise us as we are aware that this is a global tragedy that has gone on for far too long. And we know the evil spiritual forces behind this abuse. But right now as the corporate body of Christ we take this down and cut at the spiritual root of all child abuse and trafficking. We cut off its communications, funding, and operations in Jesus name, amen.

- “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

5. Hundreds of noncitizens ended up on voting rolls in Maricopa County - Washington Times

More than 200 self-acknowledged noncitizens have managed to register to vote in Arizona’s Maricopa County and at least nine of them have cast ballots in federal elections, according to a report that questions the federal law that pushes states to register more voters.

The study is the first in a series of reports by the Public Interest Legal Foundation to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Motor Voter law, which requires states to allow people to register to vote at their local motor vehicle bureau offices.

In Maricopa County, which is the fourth most-populous county in the nation and is home to Phoenix, 222 people have alerted officials since 2015 that they were on the rolls but did not hold citizenship. Of those, nine cast ballots in federal elections before acknowledging that they should have been excluded, the foundation said. (Read more)  

- Lord God, we submit our voter rolls and our elections to you. We, as a nation are so weak in this area, Lord. Our elections have been abused and run so poorly that we just need a miracle in this situation. We cover our elections in the blood of Jesus, and we just bind all plots and schemes of the enemy to steal away the peoples voice in Jesus name amen.

- “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:10)

6. Blue state bans ‘assault weapons’ in sweeping gun control bill - DML News

The mood at the Washington State Capitol was jubilant Tuesday as Gov. Jay Inslee signed a trio of gun control bills, one of which immediately bans the manufacture, purchase or importation of so-called assault weapons. “Party safely tonight,” the governor told supporters after signing the bills.

The White House released the following statement:
Today, Washington State has become the tenth state in the nation alongside Washington, D.C. to ban assault weapons and get weapons of war off America’s streets. President Biden commends the leadership of Washington Governor Jay Inslee, and legislative leaders, as well as the advocates, survivors, and elected officials who fought for years to make today a reality. In so doing, they have made every community in the state – from Seattle to Spokane and everywhere in between – safer and more secure.”

The liberal group “Call to Activism” cheered the move on Twitter, writing in a statement:
Governor Jay Inslee of Washington has just BANNED the manufacture, sale, and import of assault weapons in the state.
“No one needs an AR-15,” he said.
“Today, we’re standing on the right side of history by taking action on gun violence to improve the health, safety, and lives of Washingtonians,” Inslee tweeted in reference to House Bill 1240. (Read more)

- Lord God, help us stop blaming one another to push an agenda and instead unite and become stronger against the forces of evil. We pray for this administration that they would fight the urge to destroy our freedoms and liberties. Instead, help our leaders to renew their commitment to defending our freedoms, in Jesus name, amen.

- “I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.” (1 Corinthians 1:10)  

7. Space Force chief says U.S. is facing a ‘new era’ of threats beyond Earth - CNBC News

When Gen. Chance Saltzman took the stage for his keynote at the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado, this week, his message was simple: The U.S. is in a new era of space activity.

“The threats that we face to our on-orbit capabilities from our strategic competitors [have] grown substantially,” Saltzman, the U.S. Space Force’s second-ever chief of space operations, said in a CNBC interview after the speech. “The congestion we’re seeing in space with tracked objects and the number of satellite payloads, and just the launches themselves, have grown at an exponential rate.”

Military experts say space is likely to be the front line in any future conflicts – a battlefield that could extend to the private sector and impact civilians in real time. Look no further than Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an example: Recall the unprecedented cyberattack on the European communications network of U.S. satellite operator Viasat

Just as Russian soldiers mobilized to cross sovereign boundaries. Saltzman said the space-based tactics of adversaries like Russia and China run the gamut, from the communications jamming of the GPS constellation; to lasers and “dazzlers” that interfere with cameras on-orbit to prevent imagery collection; to anti-satellite missiles like the one Russia tested in late 2021.

- We plead the blood of Jesus over our airspace that no harm or evil can come near it, and every demonic entity, and every demonic assignment is canceled and cannot come to pass, in Jesus name. We thank you, Lord, that you are the creator of the heavens and the Earth, and that you are supreme over everything and everything is yours! Amen!

- “And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.]”  (Colossians 1:17)

8. 673 university professors sign letter opposing courses on America’s founding, Constitution - DML News

Hundreds of professors at the University of North Carolina signed a public letter Tuesday opposing legislation that would require university students to take courses on America’s government and founding documents.

The 673 UNC Chapel Hill professors revealed the public letter Tuesday, arguing the new courses and another bill in the North Carolina House of Representatives would constitute an infringement on the university’s “academic freedom.”

The first piece of legislation, House Bill 96, would require students to take a 3 credit-hour course covering America’s founding and history. Required reading for the course would include the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, at least five essays from the Federalist Papers, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail and the Gettysburg Address. (Read more)  

- Lord God, we thank you for righteous leaders and bills like these aimed at retaining the proper education on this country‘s founding. Lord God change our hearts and let us be grateful and thankful for the freedoms that we have. Let us show our gratitude towards all the men and women in history that served to protect our freedoms and our rights. And let it never be a crime or be against the law to continue to teach how this Godly nation was started and established.

- “For the kingdom is the Lord’s
And He rules over the nations.”

(Psalm 22:28)

Stupidocrisy: Dems Attack On Football

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, April 26, 2023

Joe Biden goes to Ireland and tears into a distinctly American sport, one that is in its various forms the fastest growing sport in the world—Football. Instead of being an Ambassador for American sports, he attacks them. Biden told the Irish Parliament on April 13, “I’d rather have my children playing rugby now, for health reasons, than I would have them playing football…Fewer people get hurt playing rugby. And you have no equipment. You have 280-pound guys like we do, and you just don’t hit each other in the head very often.” First, and foremost, once again Joe is misinformed, but he is feeding a narrative that is shared by his mentor Barack Obama and others in the Democratic Party seeking to ban the sport.

A fact check by PolitiFact points out that there are a lot of various studies with conflicting conclusions. But overall, PolitiFact says: “Perhaps the leading meta-analysis, published in the journal Sports Medicine in 2021, looked at 83 studies. It found that rugby had the highest concussion rate of any sport, or about three times higher than the second-place sport, American football. The third- and fourth-place finishers were ice hockey and wrestling. Rugby was the only one of the sports studied that the authors labeled “high risk” based on these numbers.” PolitiFact’s conclusion: Significant academic research suggests that rugby results in higher rates of overall injuries and concussions than American football does — often two to three times higher.” Biden’s statement is, therefore, false. But it is indicative of a larger, more sinister agenda. Read More

We Personally Saw So Many Young, Chinese, Single Males Coming Across Our Southern Border.
Greetings Sara!

We were at the border. We saw it ourselves. We saw lines of young Chinese males – all about 20 to 25 years of age – who had just come illegally across the border. When they are apprehended, they are held in the “Processing Center” for less than 72 hours. Every person we observed being processed out – as they were given a cell phone – was Chinese. The country with the most undocumented migrants entering the U.S. is Guatemala. Second is El Salvador. China is third. Why are they coming? Seeking asylum from China? Or do they have nefarious plans for our country? No one knows.
 
What is happening? What does this mean? Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas says, “The border is secure.” He lies. When we were there, 5,600 had come illegally that day. After May 11th, when it is believed Title 42 will be lifted, it is expected that 9,000 a day will illegally enter.

But don’t take my word for it. Listen to Chief Ron Vitiello, who served as deputy director and acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from June 2018 to April 2019. He previously served as Acting Deputy Commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection from 2017 to 2018 and Chief of the United States Border Patrol in 2017. He is the only person to ever serve all three roles.
 
Also, listen to Pastor Todd Lamphere who has taken 400 pastors to the border so they will pray for (1) proper policies, (2) the people coming across and (3) the patrol who have an impossible task (given the current administration).
 
Listen to and watch Chief Vitiello and Pastor Todd HERE.

Biden Reelection Bid Promotes Abortion, Pornographic School Library Books as 'Personal Freedom'

President Joe Biden officially announced he plans to seek reelection in an online video message that indicates he plans to wage a social issues-focused campaign that presents unrestricted abortion-on-demand and same-sex marriage as “our rights” to “personal freedom.”

Biden chose to launch his reelection campaign, not with a traditional campaign speech, but with a previously recorded video posted online around 6 a.m. Tuesday morning. Abortion is among the ad’s first political messages, as the camera pans a protester holding a sign that reads, “Abortion is healthcare.”

The campaign video, which cites no presidential accomplishments in the president’s tenure, seemingly seeks to paint Republicans as extremists who threaten America’s spiritual health. “When I ran for president four years ago, I said we were in a battle for the soul of America. And we still are,” Biden says. “The question we’re facing is whether in the years ahead whether we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer rights.” But, the president asserts that “MAGA extremists are lining up to take on those bedrock freedoms,” including allegedly “dictating what health care decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love all while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote.”

Conservatives say the ad shows Biden’s newly discovered focus on social issues. “Five seconds. That’s how long it took Joe Biden to endorse abortion in his new campaign ad,” noted SBA Pro-life America. “It’s what he’s running on. It’s what he stands for: taxpayer funded abortion on demand up to birth.”

Critics showed no surprise that the president chose not to highlight his record, which has included inflation unseen in 40 years, a poorly executed withdrawal from Afghanistan, and divisive efforts to brand his political opponents as incipient domestic terrorists.

“This particular president has been a sad story for the United States,” Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) told “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” on Tuesday. “We’re exposed to so many weaknesses in consequence of it abroad.” The last 27 months have inflicted “debilitating damage,” Bishop stated.

Sunday, April 30th:

Global Day of Repentance
PRESS RELEASE
By Pastor Jeff Daly, Founder, National Day of Prayer
 
A Global Day of Repentance:  April 30, 2023
 
In the same way that Nehemiah and his team confessed their sins and then entered into a new Covenant with the Lord, [Nehemiah 9: 38] National Day of Repentance (NDR) , a Christian USA ministry encouraging personal and national repentance, has called for a Global Day of Repentance on Sunday, April 20, 2023.
 
To purify, to build up prayers and repentance, a forty-day repentance cleanse has been underway which will end on April 30. www.globalrepent.com
 
As the Lord continues to shake all that can be shaken in all nations, many are sensing the need to get ready for His soon coming.
 
The Word says in Ephesians 5:27 that the Lord, having loved the church and given Himself for her, has sanctified and cleansed her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 
 
We, as His Bride, can join together to be cleansed from the world and the flesh.   Global Days of Repentance have been a powerful way to join together to bring forth the cleansing of the Bride.  Such days have been held by NDR since 2013.
 
On Sunday, April 30, 2023, in one's private prayer closet or in church services that Day, all across His planet, in Australia, in India, in South Africa and as many as 50 other nations, participants will take time with the Holy Spirit to confess sins, to turn from wicked ways, to repent. 
 
We believe that that combined action of humble repentance, all across the globe, will send a powerful prayer which the Lord will hear in heaven.  In His mercy He may then forgive our sins and heal our lands.
 
His Love for our nations is displayed in 2 Chronicles 7: 13-14: " When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
 
Additionally, participants have been invited to sign a New Covenant [read here].   In that Covenant, following the recent renewed Covenant put forward by the First Landing project [ www.FirstLanding1607] we confess that we all fall short of the glory of God, have not fully followed His word, and placed Him first in our lives, and yet He loves us.  We return fully to the Full Authority of the Risen Christ, (Matthew 28:18), and, like Nehemiah, submit fully to Him, on behalf of ourselves, our families, and our nations.
 
A 3 1/2 hour zoom call beginning at 12 noon Pacific time USA will honor the Lord on that Global Day of Repentance, April 30, 2023.  Please join us.

Asteroid’s Comet-Like Tail Is Not Made of Dust,
Solar Observatories Reveal

A weird asteroid has just gotten a little weirder.

We have known for a while that asteroid 3200 Phaethon acts like a comet. It brightens and forms a tail when it’s near the Sun, and it is the source of the annual Geminid meteor shower, even though comets are responsible for most meteor showers. Scientists had blamed Phaethon’s comet-like behavior on dust escaping from the asteroid as it’s scorched by the Sun. However, a new study using two NASA solar observatories reveals that Phaethon’s tail is not dusty at all but is actually made of sodium gas.

“Our analysis shows that Phaethon’s comet-like activity cannot be explained by any kind of dust,” said California Institute of Technology PhD student Qicheng Zhang, who is the lead author of a paper published in the Planetary Science Journal reporting the results.

Asteroids, which are mostly rocky, do not usually form tails when they approach the Sun. Comets, however, are a mix of ice and rock, and typically do form tails as the Sun vaporizes their ice, blasting material off their surfaces and leaving a trail along their orbits. When Earth passes through a debris trail, those cometary bits burn up in our atmosphere and produce a swarm of shooting stars – a meteor shower. Read More

The Good News Corner
UN Plan to Promote Abortion Worldwide Fails When 22 Pro-Life Nations Object 
The fifty-sixth annual United Nations Commission on Population and Development ended abruptly on Friday, April 14, in New York City. The Commission ended with a thud, not a bang, and turned the entire weeks-long process into an exercise in futility. Why? There was not enough sex and abortion in the plan of action’s draft document, and the EU, USA, and Canada inserted radical and never before agreed upon language to begin making Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE) a human right. National Right to Life vehemently opposes CSE because it would allow minor children to seek abortion providers without their parent’s knowledge or consent.

Once this far-reaching pro-abortion language was added, twenty-two countries, representing over 1 billion people, withdrew their support of the document. The negotiations then spiraled into chaos – if the plan of action is to move forward, the United Nations requires total consensus of all voting member states. At one point, the Pakistani delegation stated that the largest crisis children are currently facing is that because of the fallout from COVID, nearly 100 million children worldwide are not being schooled. That statement was immediately followed by a retort from the Dutch delegation claiming that the REAL crisis is the lack of Comprehensive Sexual Education. You can’t make this up.

By the end of the last week, lines had been drawn, and positions were hardened. So much so that no outcome document or plan of action was produced. And that’s a good thing. National Right to Life was there to support the courageous members representing the twenty-two countries who took on the rest of the world. Many countries contacted Austin Cherry, who was in the NGO Gallery, to thank NRLC for our assistance and encouragement. The battle continues, and the international fight is not won – but we will always be there to defend those who most need us. (LifeNews) Read More
- Father, we praise You that senseless words spoken during the UN gathering created a stalemate in moving forward with worldwide comprehensive sexual education and support for abortion! We are grateful for the 22 Pro-Life countries who stood their ground against foolishness, proclaiming other urgent priority needs for children across the nations. In the powerful name of Jesus we declare that You will defend and shelter the children of every nation, making demonic ploys for their harm NULL and VOID! Thank You, Abba.

- "No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgement. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication form me, declares the Lord." (Isaiah 54:17)
