Christian Soccer Star Writes ‘Jesus’ Message on the LGBT Armband He Was Forced to Wear
A Christian soccer player could be sanctioned for writing “I love Jesus” over an LGBT armband he was forced to wear during a 90-minute match. The controversy unfolded Tuesday after Marc Guehi, a defender with the Premier League soccer club Crystal Palace, scrawled “I love Jesus” on a rainbow armband that team captains were required to wear, ESPN reported. The armbands were issued to all 20 Premiere League soccer clubs to express support for the LGBT agenda. Guehi, a devout Christian, is the son of a church minister, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported. While he donned the armband, he chose to write a religious slogan on top of the rainbow.
In response, England’s Football Association issued a warning, reminding the soccer star that wearing a religious message on his uniform is banned under league rules. Rule A4 of FA regulations states that any violation of this rule could result in sanctions against the player and his team, per ESPN. Marc Guehi’s father, Minister John Guehi, slammed the FA’s double standards, pointing out that a Muslim player who had refused to wear the armband was not punished, according to the Mail. He also accused the British Football Association of pandering to the LGBT community and prioritizing its warped agenda over Christian beliefs. “If you look at what the LGBT community are doing, they are trying to impose on others what they believe in,” John Guehi told the Mail. He continued: “Marc is a devout Christian, the son of a church minister, and he accepted to put the arm band on to welcome everyone in football. But the problem we have now is that players are being used as spokespeople now.” (Western Journal) Read More Here

We decree in Jesus Name that all plans of the enemy will be thwarted and no backlash will come against this young man for simply revealing his belief.

In the mighty and powerful name of Yeshua- Amen.

Trump Plans to Pardon Jan. 6 Defendants
on First Day in Office
President-elect Donald Trump announced on Dec. 8 that he will move to pardon those pursued by the Department of Justice in relation to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach.
“I’m going to be acting very quickly,” Trump said in an interview with “Meet the Press” anchor Kristen Welker, clarifying that he would begin the process of considering pardons for the nearly 1,500 people charged in connection with the event starting on his first day in office.
“These people have been there for how long? It’s three, four years. You know, by the way, they’ve been in there for years, and they’re in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to be open,” Trump said, referencing the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Jail, a facility that has long been dubbed the “gulag” by its critics.
The promise to pardon those charged in connection with the events of the day—including many arrested, convicted, and incarcerated for nonviolent offenses—was a pillar of Trump’s campaign for reelection in 2024.
In the interview, Trump said that he would be looking at individual cases and that there “may be some exceptions to it,” such as “if somebody was radical, crazy,” he said, adding that “there might be some people from Antifa there.” (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

UnitedHealthcare CEO murder sends executives scrambling to hire security: experts
A manhunt gripped New York City after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was killed in a targeted shooting
The Wednesday assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson will "heighten [executives'] awareness of vulnerabilities" and likely lead to a wave of new security contracts, experts told Fox News Digital.
In an ambush caught on surveillance video, a gunman with his face covered aimed a pistol with a silencer at Thompson at 6:46 a.m. Wednesday outside the Midtown Hilton Hotel and shot the executive three times.
Former New York Homeland Security adviser Michael Balboni told Fox News Digital that at least one prospective client, the head of a large financial institution, specifically mentioned the shooting when calling to ask after an executive-protection assessment through his company, Redland Strategies Inc.
"In the short term, this incident highlights the need to perform threat assessments on not just infrastructure or systems, but key personnel as well," he said. "As a result, security personnel should be busy." (Fox News) Read more here.

1. Amb. Danon to UN: Israel's presence in Syria is temporary - Israel National News
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon on Monday sent an urgent letter to Linda Thomas-Greenfield, President of the United Nations Security Council, regarding the IDF's recent entry into Syria and the recent developments on the Syrian-Israeli border.
In the letter, Danon wrote, "Two days ago, on Saturday December 7th armed groups entered the aforementioned Area of Separation, targeted UNDOF forces, temporarily took control of several UNDOF outposts, and looted equipment belonging to UNDOF, putting the safety and security of United Nations personnel at grave risk. The IDF assisted the UN forces in repelling the attack. It is essential to emphasize that any military presence in this area is prohibited under the 1974 Disengagement Agreement between Syria and Israel which, as United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions expressly stipulate, no military forces, other than those of UNDOF, shall be present in the Area of Separation."
"In response to this evolving security threat and the danger posed by it to Israel – particularly to the residents of the Golan Heights - Israel has taken limited and temporary measures to counter any further threat to its citizens. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have deployed temporarily in few points and in a limited capacity east of Line A, focusing on specific locations where defensive measures are necessary to maintain security, stability, and preventing armed groups from threatening Israeli territory.

3. Defense Minister meets bereaved families: Goal of eliminating Hamas remains unchanged - Israel National News

Regarding the northern border, the Defense Minister stated that there would be a response to any threat or violation of the ceasefire.

4.Rothman proposes bill to change all mentions of ‘West Bank’ in Israeli Law to ‘Judea and Samaria’ - Jerusalem Post
MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionist Party) proposed a bill on Monday, so that in all Israeli legislation, the term “West Bank” – the area to the West of the Jordan River captured from Jordan during the Six Day War (1967) – will be replaced with the region’s biblical name, “Judea and Samaria.”
According to the bill’s preamble, “Judea and Samaria are inseparable parts of the historic homeland of the Jewish people. The most seminal events in our history occurred in these areas, where our forefathers, prophets, sages, and kings established their capital and kingdoms. In contrast, the term ‘West Bank,’ which originated during a period of foreign rule, reflects a colonialist perspective that disregards the deep historical connection of the Jewish people to its land.”
The preamble adds that the bill “seeks to regulate the use of the term ‘Judea and Samaria’ in Israeli legislation, replacing other terms that refer to the same geographic area. This change aligns with the broader trend of strengthening Israel’s connection to the region and preserving the historical rights of the Jewish people.” (Read more)

Your Place On The Ladder
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, December 9, 2024
We make a big deal in America about climbing the ladder of success. There are those who are willing to step over and on others to achieve the top of the ladder. But is this the ladder with which any of us should be concerned? There is a ladder of far greater importance and your place on it may mean eternal life or death. In Genesis 28 is the story of Jacob’s Ladder. Jacob comes to a “certain place” (ba’makom) and lays his head down on a stone and sleeps. He had a dream of a ladder reaching to heaven, and the angels of ADONAI (the LORD) were going up and down on it. Suddenly ADONAI was standing beside him, He said, “I am ADONAI, the God of Abraham, your (grand) father and the God of Isaac” (v 13).
ADONAI repeats the same promise made to both Abraham and Isaac, that the land he was laying on would be given to him and his descendants as numerous as the grains of dust on the earth. Some Jewish commentators say the ladder signifies the encounter between God and the human soul known as prayer. In Jewish tradtion, there are three daily prayers, the morning prayer, shaharit, attributed to Abraham when he stood in the morning looking out (praying) toward Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:27); the afternoon prayer, minha, attributed to Isaac as he prayed in the field awaiting Rebecca’s arrival (Genesis 24:62-64); and the evening prayer, ma’ariv, representing Jacob’s encounter with God in the night, when God speaks to him and he sees the great vision of the ladder and the angels of God (Genesis 28:12).

MANAMA, Dec 8 (Reuters) - The United States will maintain its presence in eastern Syria and will take measures necessary to prevent a resurgence of Islamic State, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East Daniel Shapiro said on Sunday.
Speaking hours after Syrian rebels announced they had toppled Bashar al-Assad's government, Shapiro called on all parties to protect civilians, particularly minorities, and to respect international norms.
"We are aware that the chaotic and dynamic circumstances on the ground in Syria could give ISIS space to find the ability to become active, to plan external operations, and we're determined to work with those partners to continue to degrade their capabilities," he told the Manama Dialogue security conference in Bahrain's capital.
"(We're determined) to ensure (Islamic State's) enduring defeat, to ensure the secure detention of ISIS fighters and the repatriation of displaced persons," Shapiro added. (Read more)
The situation is volatile. But Christian leaders remain committed to serving their communities, even as they face unprecedented challenges and uncertainty as they navigate the new reality.
And we must pray with Christians in Syria!
“Syrian Christians are asking us to pray for peace, for wisdom, and for the new leadership of the country to be committed to reconciliation for all Syrians,” Summers says. “Christians are also asking us to pray that they will be lights of hope and peace in the midst of a chaotic time in Syria’s history.”
Here are 10 ways you can pray for the church in Syria:
Syrians have endured so much over the last decade—civil war, earthquakes, and economic distress. This latest uncertainty is difficult, but we know God can still be at work and bring peace as only He can.
Please: Stand with God’s people in prayer!
Thank you for praying.

A Letter from France
Dear friends,
This morning I received a letter from Jeannie who lives outside of Paris, France.
Her words really touched my heart, in the aftermath of President Trump's visit to her
country this past weekend, so I share them with you now.
In His Grace,
Sara Ballenger, CHPP
Hi Sara!
How are you? I hope well! So much happening lately, and here in Europe I just feel surrounded by so much turmoil, I mean ESPECIALLY here.
And our wonderful President Trump was super well received here- and funny how all the leaders are just [ cozying ] up to him now! Before, the French press (several years ago) treated him (of course) like a buffoon! But THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!! :)
I keep thinking, these days, of what I believe the book of Revelation says about “Wars and rumors of wars…” I really believe that the tribulation and the Rapture and the rise of the antichrist are all imminent!! Does that mean 5 days, 5 years, etc?? Who knows, but I feel it!!

Thank you, Lord, for guiding them, protecting them and their families as You pour out your Spirit of truth upon each one. We are truly a blessed nation! Amen and Amen.

Philippines' Kanlaon volcano erupts, shooting ash 2.5 miles into the sky and prompting mass evacuation
Manila — A volcano briefly erupted in the central Philippines on Monday, sending a huge ash column high into the sky as the government ordered the evacuation of surrounding villages. Rising more than 8,000 feet above sea level on the central island of Negros, Kanlaon is one of 24 active volcanoes in the Philippines.
A nearly four-minute eruption Monday afternoon sending a 2.5-mile ash column above the crater and a deadly spurt of hot ash, gases and fragmented volcanic rock about 2 miles down the mountain's southeast flank, officials told a news conference. They warned that more explosive eruptions could follow shortly.
"Getting hit by these pyroclastic density currents is like being run over by a high-speed vehicle," said Maria Antonia Bornas, volcano monitoring chief of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. Read More
