Iran May be Reconsidering Major Strike After American Show of Force
|
|
The report comes after the US sent more warships to the region in preparation for an Iranian-led attack on Israel.
in Tehran, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius reported on Wednesday morning, citing White House officials.
The regime's proxy militia in Lebanon, Hezbollah, is still a "wild card," however, Ignatius added.
has been sending strong messages to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to stand in the way of hostage deal-ceasefire negotiations and messages, via regional partners, to Tehran urging restraint in its response.

- Abba, we give you great praise for answering our prayers to give Iran "second thoughts" after the US sent many ships into the region. We ask Holy Spirit to continue speaking into the hearts of Iranian leadership, allow fear of Israeli and their allies attacks to bring into focus the risks of any type of severe response on their part. Father God, give them vision to see themselves as You see them, let that awareness cause a change of heart, an unwillingness to challenge You by coming against Israel in these circumstances.
We ask You again to send out your warrior angels to put a barrier around Your land and people, one that nothing can get under, over, around or through, in Jesus' name. We ask that You bring glory to Yourself as You answer our prayers. We ask all of this in the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has ultimate power over all things.
- "You, Lord God Almighty, you who are the
God of Israel, rouse yourself to
punish all the nations; show no mercy to traitors."
(Psalm 59:5)

"They Destroy. We Build." One Jewish State Presents a Tisha B'Av Documentary
|
|
And Hashem said to Avram, after Lot had parted from him, “Raise your eyes and look out from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west, for I give all the land that you see to you and your offspring forever. Genesis 13:14-15
As the Jewish people prepare to commemorate Tisha B’Av, the national day of mourning for the destruction of the first and second Jewish Temples, a powerful new video from Rabbi Tuly Weisz and Israel365 offers a message of hope and resilience for these challenging times. The video, set to release on the eve of Tisha B’Av (Monday August 12th), presents a compelling case for maintaining a unified Jewish state and highlights the importance of Israel’s biblical heartland in Judea and Samaria.
In the wake of the October 7th attacks, which left an indelible scar on the nation of Israel, this year’s Tisha B’Av takes on added significance. Rabbi Weisz’s video draws parallels between the historical tragedies remembered on this solemn day and the recent events that have shaken the Jewish world.
“Since October 7th, every day has felt like Tisha B’av,” Rabbi Weisz notes in the video. This sentiment echoes throughout the Jewish community, as the pain and shock of the attacks continue to reverberate nearly a year later.
The video takes viewers on a journey through the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria, featuring interviews with residents who have dedicated their lives to settling and developing these Biblically and historically significant regions. Through their stories, the video paints a picture of the deep connection between the Jewish people and this land – a connection that spans thousands of years and is rooted in biblical prophecy.
|
|
Abba, we thank You for Rabbi Tuly Weisz and Israel365 hearing Your voice to produce such a needed video. We ask for this video to deeply impact all who watch it, to educate, but more importantly, to change minds and hearts of those who have been walking in deception concerning the truth connecting Israelis to their land. We ask You to connect Jews all over the world with the message of hope, with the need to continue even in the face of adversity, the need to see themselves as one of the many who continue to build and rebuild their lives in the Land given to them by Hashem. We ask this in the name Jehovah Shalom, God our Peace.
- " ' The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you and
and give you peace.' "
(Numbers 6:24-26)

Another Foreign Policy Disaster: Biden Regime Officially Hands Over US Bases to Military Junta in Niger
|
|
While the Taliban is enjoying billions of dollars of U.S. weapons left by the Biden administration in Afghanistan, the military junta that seized control of Niger now has two U.S. bases which will be occupied by Russian troops.
The U.S. has officially handed over its last military bases in Niger to the Nigerien authorities, marking the end of a significant counterterrorism mission in the region.
|
|
Abba, again the Biden regime has given away US military bases, just as it did in Afghanistan. We ask Holy Spirit to move in Niger to protect any personnel who worked with the US making them targets of the junta. Jesus, we ask You to raise up a mighty chorus of intercessory prayer to bring down the demonic strongholds that were set up by those putting the junta in place, prayers that will target all whose hearts have been hardened, who have decided that they are god. Reveal to them that You are God, the only God, and they are not. Put the fear of You into their hearts, let them "melt like wax" at the sound of Your voice. We ask You to replace the junta with leadership whose hearts are after Yours, who will call on Your name for guidance and truth. We ask this in the name Jehovah Sabaoth, The Host of Heaven's Armies.
- "You have broken through all his walls and
reduced his strongholds to ruins."
(Psalm 89:40)

1. IDF reinvades Khan Yunis for third time after only 8 days - Jerusalem Post
The IDF started moves on Thursday for a third invasion of Khan Yunis, eight days after it concluded its second invasion on July 30.
In early December, the IDF invaded Khan Yunis for the first time, fighting heavily with Hamas until achieving operational control in early February.
On April 7, the IDF withdrew from Khan Yunis for the first time, only to return until July 22, when it said Hamas was trying to reconstitute itself, including having fired dozens of rockets into southern Israel. (Read more)

2. Security cabinet convenes as Israel warns Hezbollah of ‘destruction’ if it attacks - Times of Israel
The security cabinet convened Thursday night in Tel Aviv, as the country continued to brace for a potential attack by the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon.
The cabinet met in the underground command room of the Kirya military headquarters, Hebrew media reported, the first time such a meeting has been held there since the night of April 13-14, when Iran launched some 300 missiles and drones at Israel, almost all of which were intercepted.
The meeting was taking place in “the pit,” as the underground command room is known, but not due to immediate security concerns, but rather in order to drill for a potential emergency situation, Channel 12 news reported, as Israel was preparing for a promised attack by Iran and its terror proxies to several recent high-profile assassinations.

The "For Them - We Won't Return to October 6th" organization organized a unity event at hundreds of intersections across the country, led by Hagay Lober, whose son Yehonatan was killed in battle in the Gaza Strip.
Lober himself stood at the Mehola Junction in the Jordan Valley together with hundreds of others. "My son fought and sacrificed so this nation would be together. That was my son's goal," the bereaved father stated.
"When he said 'the nation' - he didn't mean a certain color. You here at this intersection are continuing in his path. Thank you," he added. (Read more)

4. Israel strips Norway's PA diplomats of status - Israel Hayom
Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced Thursday that Israel is canceling the diplomatic status of Norway's representatives to the Palestinian Authority in response to Oslo's recognition of a Palestinian state and decision to join South Africa in its lawsuit against Israel at the International Criminal Court.
Katz made the government's position unequivocal, warning that "those who attack us and pursue a unilateral policy against us will pay a price." The eight Norwegian diplomats tasked with representing their country's interests vis-à-vis the Palestinian Authority will now have their entry permits revoked within the next seven days. They will be forced to decide whether to remain in Tel Aviv in a bid to mend Israel-Norway relations, or return home.
In summoning the head of the Norwegian Embassy in Israel, the Foreign Ministry delivered a diplomatic note informing Norway of the punitive measures. According to the ministry, the new policy will be implemented immediately, stripping the eight diplomats of their diplomatic status and severing their connection to the PA. (Read more)

5. Jerusalem's Second Temple was built with gigantic stone blocks — now we think we know where they came from - Live Science
The source of the building stones for Jerusalem's Second Temple may have been discovered.
The vast quarry spans about 3,500 square meters (37,674 square feet) and contains building blocks, some of which weigh about 2.5 tons (2.25 metric tons) (the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) recently announced in a statement.
Archaeologists at the newfound quarry, which is located in the Har Hotzvim area of Jerusalem, also found a stone jar that would have been used for purification of a person, along with other artifacts. (Read more)

1. Connecting Hearts Through Prayer: Rami Goldberg’s Inspiring Initiative – Israel365 news
In an era marked by global tensions and cultural divides, Rabbi Rami Goldberg has initiated a project that taps into the universal human desire for connection and meaning through prayer. As the Director of Strategic Relations at Israel 365, Rabbi Rami has launched a WhatsApp Prayer Group
that serves as a daily touchpoint for a growing international community. This innovative project goes beyond prayer, aiming to forge connections, foster understanding, and build a faith-based community that transcends geographical boundaries.
The power of collective prayer has long been recognized in Judaism. As Psalms 133:1 states, “How good and how pleasant it is that brothers dwell together.” While traditional gatherings in synagogues and churches have been the cornerstone of Jewish and Christian spiritual life for centuries, Rabbi Rami’s initiative brings this concept into the digital age. It creates a virtual space where voices can unite in harmony and purpose.
“There’s something truly special about praying together,” Rabbi Rami explains. “Even when we’re physically apart, the act of joining our voices and intentions creates a powerful spiritual connection. It’s a reminder that we’re all part of something greater than ourselves.” (Read more)

- Father of All, we thank You for this prayer initiative started by this rabbi in Israel. We thank You that Your country of Israel is being highlighted and prayed for in this fervent and growing group. We pray that this group will continue for a long time and that You will answer all the petitions that they bring before You. May the result be peace and prosperity in Israel and in the lives of those who participate. Thank You, Lord. Amen

2. Why Has the United States Been Shaken by So Many Unusual Earthquakes Lately? - The Economic Collapse Blog
It is getting very difficult to ignore all of the shaking that is going on. Over the past few months, there have been very unusual earthquakes all over the United States. As you will see below, there have been noteworthy quakes on the west coast, on the east coast, near our northern border, and near our southern border. Of course all of this comes at a time when the entire planet is being shaken by unusual seismic activity. Is all of this unusual seismic activity building up to something? If so, what does that mean for all of us?
|
|
- Father God, we we stand before You in humble repentance for how our nation has left the Godly standards that it was founded upon and ask Your forgiveness as we see earthquakes and other disturbances going on. Dear Lord, we pray that Your people in this land will humble themselves and pray as a result of what they see everyday. We pray that by Your mercy, there will be minimal harm to property and people during this time. Amen.
- "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)

3. Donald Trump Says that a Great Depression is Coming. He is Right
Do you believe Donald Trump? He is entirely convinced that if we stay on the path that we are currently on we are heading into a “great depression”, and many believe that he is right on target. Unemployment is rising, manufacturing activity is contracting, bankruptcies are soaring, home sales have fallen to depressingly low levels, the cost of living crisis never seems to end, poverty is soaring and homelessness is at the highest level ever recorded. Since Barack Obama first entered the White House, our politicians in Washington have been propping up the economy by adding 25 trillion dollars to the national debt. Now our national debt has crossed the 35 trillion dollar mark, and our politicians continue to spend money at a pace that is absolutely absurd. But despite this tremendous influx of borrowed cash, the wheels are starting to come off the U.S. economy anyway.
.This week, everyone is talking about a “recession” because of what has been happening in the financial markets.
|
|
- Oh Lord, we can all see what has happened in the last few years as those with poor knowledge of financial matters have controlled our country. Father, we are grateful that President Trump has the insight to see what is happening and what has caused it. We pray that those in charge now will be replaced by those who have practical experience in monetary matters and will call on You for wisdom to move our country forward out of the dark place it is in.
- "He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing love to his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever." (Psalms 18:50)

4. Tim Walz: No Right to Free Speech if Government Deems It Is Misinformation or Hate Speech – Discern Report
Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz believes people shouldn’t be afforded First Amendment protections if they say things the government has deemed “misinformation.”
The Democrat Minnesota governor shared his disdain for free speech during an MSNBC discussion in Dec. 2022, where he proclaimed that people expressing that “mail-in ballots aren’t legal” represented voter intimidation.
“Years ago, it was the little things. Telling people to vote the day after the election, and we kind of brushed them off,” Walz said. “Now we know it’s intimidation at the ballot box. It’s undermining the idea that mail-in ballots aren’t legal. I think we need to push back on this.” (Read more)

- Lord God, Thank you for allowing us to have freedom of speech in our country. We are Americans with the rights of free speech. We are grateful and humbled by your presence in our land. We ask you to prevent the socialists who have been quietly working to take this freedom away from us, and who would turn us into a government-controlled society. We come against every demonic spirit who plans to implement its socialist agenda on The United States of America. As Americans we trust You, almighty God, who our forefathers depended on to guide us the way to freedom. We call on you to defend us and bring us back to sanity. Uphold us and let your will be done for the USA. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen and Amen.

5. Chinese American Posing as Pro-Democracy Activist is Convicted of Spying for China – The Epoch Times
‘The indictment could have been the plot of a spy novel,’ said U.S. Attorney Breon Peace.
A prominent Chinese American scholar based in New York was convicted Aug. 6 on charges he lived a double life as a spy for communist China for over a decade.
Wang Shujun, a 75-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, established himself as a critic of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and co-founded a pro-democracy organization in New York. However, behind the facade was a man who spied on pro-democracy activists and shared his findings with four officials in China’s top intelligence agency, the Ministry of State Security (MSS), according to prosecutors.
A jury found Wang guilty on four counts, including acting as a foreign agent without notifying the U.S. attorney general and making false statements to law enforcement officers, following a seven-day trial in Brooklyn federal court.
“The indictment could have been the plot of a spy novel, but the evidence is shockingly real that the defendant was a secret agent for the Chinese government,” said U.S. Attorney Breon Peace for the Eastern District of New York in a statement after the verdict. (Read more)

- Dear Lord, we thank you that the Chinese spy Wang Shujun has been caught and convicted of his crimes against The United States of America. We also pray that anyone else who is spying on us will be exposed and convicted quickly. We pray that anyone on earth that is considering becoming a spy against us will be filled with so much conviction that they will not be able to complete their task. We pray a hedge of protection over all souls in our 50 states and our territories and all of our military bases throughout the world. We pray for a supernatural divine protection for all Americans. We praise and thank you for all you do and believe you will stand mighty against all evil plots that come against America. God bless the USA. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen and Amen.

6. This isn’t the End for the Financial Markets: The Truth is This is Just the Beginning of the Chaos – The Economic Collapse Blog
If you are surprised by what is happening in the financial world right now, you probably haven’t been paying much attention. Stock prices were obscenely high and many investors were massively overleveraged. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted by more than 1,000 points on Monday. During the days ahead, we are going to see some wild ups and some wild downs, and this tragedy is going to take some time to fully play out. But without a doubt, we have got a major problem on our hands.
After the chaos that we witnessed on Friday, I wasn’t sure that we would see even more carnage on Monday, but that is precisely what transpired …
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 1,033.99 points, or 2.6%, to close at 38,703.27. The S&P 500 fell 3%, ending at 5,186.33. Both averages notched their worst daily losses since September 2022.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shed 3.43%, finishing at 16,200.08. At one point the Nasdaq was down more than 1,000 points. That is the first time in history that has ever happened. (Read more)

We believe this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen and Amen.

The Battlefield of the Mind
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, August 8, 2024
The headlines these days are alarming. The world seems to be in a panic over the election and a possible recession. The narrative seems to be pointing toward economic, government, political, and social disruption. Disruption on all levels. There is no rest from disruption. It is so, because the media and the disrupters make it so. So there they are making their noise, accusing others of what they are doing, judging people from the content of their own hearts, spewing forth hate, derision, suspicion and darkness. What is it to us? Why do we have to allow them to occupy the battlefield of our minds? Does their darkness overcome the light of Christ and the Holy Spirit in each of us? I stand to say “NO.”
In John 8:12, Christ said, “I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” In Matthew 5:14-16, Christ affirms this transfer of light, saying, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Philippians 2:14-15 says, “Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.” Read More

18 Days: Kamala Harris has not held a press conference since emerging as presumptive Democratic nominee

JD Vance pushes media to stop giving Harris 'a honeymoon'
|
|
Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 18 days without holding a formal press conference since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee as of Thursday.
"It's been 18 days and Kamala Harris is still not taking questions from the media or voters. Regardless of who you support, a terrible precedent has been set," Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., posted on X.
Harris became essentially the de facto nominee after President Biden endorsed her on July 21 when he dropped out of the race and she officially clinched the nomination last week. She has been busy on the campaign trail, spoken at various events, and given informal remarks to reporters at various points, but hasn’t done a formal press conference or wide-ranging interview in the 16 days that have followed.
She also failed to appear at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, where former President Trump made headlines last week with a heated question-and-answer session, although she could make a future appearance with the group.
Trump will be conducting a news conference on Thursday from Mar-a-Lago. (Fox News)

- King of Kings, we pray for a shout from the citizens demanding that Harris and Wolz submit to questioning by the media and that they agree to debates with Pres. Trump and J.D. Vance. Father, as voters we need to know what’s really going on in the hearts and minds of anyone running for President/Vice-President of the U.S. May the planned policies of Harris/Wolz and close staff members be revealed quickly, as time is of the essense!
We thank You for the media personnel diligently doing their homework, revealing what views and policies the candidates expressed or acted upon in the past-- a hint of what to expect if Harris is elected. The Harris Team is demonstrating very crafty and unheard of behavior for a presidential candidate and her V-P, and it must be challenged. We also pray for those voters who don’t care; open their eyes to the realities of life under Harris! Lord God, we pray for TRUTH! In Yeshua’s name, Amen.
- "There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community."

Harris campaign denies support for Israeli arms embargo
|
|
|
The Harris campaign said in a statement that Harris reaffirmed "that her campaign will continue to engage with those communities," an aide said.
|
|
In an effort at damage control, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign reaffirmed her support for Israel Thursday after initial reports of her meeting with pro-Palestinian leaders before a rally in Detroit suggested that she expressed an openness to an arms embargo for Israel.
A campaign source told The Jerusalem Post that Harris “did not express openness to an arms embargo.”
In a post on X, Harris’s National Security Adviser Phil Gordon said Harris has been clear and will always ensure Israel can defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups.
“She does not support an arms embargo on Israel,” Gordon wrote. “She will continue to work to protect civilians in Gaza and to uphold international humanitarian law.”
According to a statement from a campaign spokesperson, Harris has “prioritized engaging with Arab, Muslim, and Palestinian community members and others regarding the war in Gaza” since October 7. (Jerusalem Post) Read more.

- Righteous Father, it would seem that POTUS candidate Harris is speaking out of both sides of her mouth, which suggests a lack of integrity and a lack of total commitment to our close ally, Israel. She also seems to lack understanding of the spiritual underpinnings of the whole Israeli-Arab conflicts throughout the centuries. We earnestly pray that You draw her to Your Son, Yeshua, and show her the truth of Your word and Your plans for the nations. May there be repentance and turning to the Light as she is bathed in The Truth. However, we pray that she would not be elected at this time; may she become mature in her faith in You, Lord.
May the U.S. continue to come along-side of Israel, providing all we can to protect her and help her to prosper. We cry out for discernment for the legally-voting public in November, as well as exposure of any fraud regarding the ballots.
- "Submit therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God and He will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be miserable, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into gloom. " (James 4:7-90)

Perseid meteor shower 2024 peaks this weekend. Here's how to see summer's best 'shooting stars'
|
|
Every August, just when many people go vacationing in the country where skies are dark, the best-known meteor shower makes its appearance: The Perseids.
This year, the Perseid meteor shower should reach its peak during the overnight hours of late Sunday night into early Monday morning (Aug. 11-12), when there is almost no moon, making the late-night sky nice and dark for shooting star spectators and counters. The first quarter moon sets around 11:20 p.m. local daylight time, leaving the sky nicely dark thereafter. Some Perseids do appear during the evening, but the shower is always better from about 11 p.m. or midnight until the dawn's early light.
Or, to put it another way, expect greater numbers of meteors to be evident during the pre-dawn hours because this is when your side of Earth turns to face the oncoming meteors more directly.
You can also watch the Perseid meteor shower online for free this weekend courtesy of astrophysicist Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project. The first livestream will begin at 9 p.m. EDT on Aug. 11 (0100 GMT on Aug. 12,) and the second will begin at 9 p.m. EDT on Aug. 12 (0100 GMT on Aug. 13.), weather permitting. Read More

Pastors need spiritual warfare training;
Set Free Global wants to help
|
|
How familiar are you with spiritual warfare? Dave McIntyre with Set Free Global, a division of Set Free, says Christian leaders worldwide lack the skills to address spiritual warfare. “Pastors are seeing the devastation firsthand, and they’ll ask us, ‘How does this work? What do I need to teach? How should we focus our ministry to lead people into spiritual freedom and fight in the spiritual battle?’” McIntyre says. “Often, these principles are not being taught in the seminary.” McIntyre speaks from personal experience. “I went through seminary. They didn’t prepare me at all for spiritual warfare; many seminaries don’t, and that’s where it needs to be done,” he says. “Missions agencies need to prepare their candidates for the field where the spiritual battle is very real.”
That’s why McIntyre wants to present Set Free’s biblical material in seminaries and the pastors’ conferences that frequently request Set Free speakers. Learn more about Set Free’s approach here. Every principle outlined in Set Free’s spiritual warfare manifesto comes directly from Scripture. “We’re talking straightforward stuff: repenting of the sin that we have in our lives, forgiving the people who have wronged us, understanding humility before the Lord,” McIntyre says. James 4:7 is an overlooked yet critical key to victory. “‘Submit yourself therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.’ – That’s not something we’re supposed to know. It’s something we’re supposed to do,” McIntyre says. (Read and Learn More!)

May 'Set Free Global' spread across nations to prepare the Body of Christ around the world for such a time as this! Quicken the church everywhere, awakening them to the fierce battle we are in. Raise Spirit-filled Pastors to train congregations how to walk in Christ's Authority. Bless this ministry and those who have been assigned to lead it. We decree and declare that only Your Will and Purposes will be accomplished on earth as it is in heaven, by the Blood and Power of Jesus Christ! Amen and Amen.
- "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." (Luke 10:19)

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name."
