President Biden’s Brother James Biden Set to Be Questioned in Closed-Door Deposition on Capitol Hill
|
|
(VIDEO)
House Republicans take the next step in their impeachment inquiry into the president. This week, President Joe Biden’s brother will be on Capitol Hill to answer questions as the GOP probes large money transfers within the Biden family.
Former President Donald Trump spoke out for the first time about Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death. What’s he hinting at, and what is President Biden’s campaign touting amid dismal poll numbers?
President Biden and other top Democrats are urging the House to pass the $95 billion foreign aid package. We look at why some Republicans, including Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), are opposed to the bill.
While the entire country celebrates Presidents’ Day, Virginians made sure to remember the first president of the United States by throwing their annual George Washington’s birthday parade.

- Lord God, there is so much illegal activity that follows the Biden family that is covered up. We continue to lay this at your feet, Lord. And we declare that truth would win out, and that justice would be done in this situation. We command all evil forces that are trying to hide the truth to be eliminated in Jesus name. amen.

International Prayer Alert: Praying for Europe and Pushing Back against the WHO's Tyrannical Treaty

Dear Praying Friends,
Thanks to those of you who were able to join us in prayer for the Global 2033 event in Poland that brought together 160 ministry leaders from 35 countries to focus on completing Jesus’ Great Commission and also the two special prayer initiatives for the European Union in both Strasbourg, France and Brussels, Belgium. The Lord anointed and blessed all three of these efforts, and we felt your prayers of support so much as He gave our team favor with officials in the E.U. and also the Council of Europe. We were allowed to enter and pray on-site, receiving helpful briefing by them and the local intercessors with whom we had strong times of prayer. The E.U. represents 448 million in 27 countries and the Council of Europe 675 million in 46 countries. How crucial it is that we keep them in our prayers, so l et’s please continue to pray for these powerful institutions impacting such enormous numbers of people. While having some noble intentions to work for international peace and development, they need to be set free from their increasingly totalitarian tendencies that seek to hyper-regulate the lives of European men, women, and children. Pray also for the Jesus followers who work inside them as well as the outside intercessors in these two strategic cities that they will be deeply encouraged, fortified, and increasingly multiplied to meet the real challenges to human freedom and national sovereignty there. Please note the Council of Europe flyer with the Tower of Babel imagery reflected in the architecture of the Strasbourg E.U. offices as well as the pentagrams overhead, a sign of the occultic spirit that some are invoking over these institutions. Let's pray with the authority Jesus gave us that the evil one be bound and unable to influence the E.U. and Council of Europe, their officials, and organizational agendas any more!
> > > Today, the World Health Organization begins a two-week marathon to finalize their Pandemic Treaty and through it gain control over global healthcare. Mat Staver from Liberty Counsel as usual gives much helpful detail on this link. Please have a look here.
> > > Citizen Go is another advocacy group in Europe that has been monitoring the WHO and mobilizing resistance to its globalist tyrannical intentions. They write: “The globalists and radical left controlling the World Health Organization are plotting a so-called 'marathon' - a two-week stretch in Geneva come this February 19th. What's the game plan? To ram through and secure critical sections of the Pandemic Treaty to ensure it is ratified in May 2024 before anyone finds out the truth of their power grab. We're against the clock. Globalists seek to become the global health authority before "the next pandemic strikes."
But we know that this isn't about health - it's about who holds the reins of power in times of crisis.

Let’s join our prayers together along with the mustard seed of faith that Jesus said can move mountains. Let’s agree together in faith that the WHO will not be able to make progress in these two weeks of meetings. Let’s pray that the current resistance of the European farmers’ and some European Parliament officials will spread to the 196 nations that are the focus of this “treaty”. May there be a great wake-up call and overwhelming push-back against this global totalitarian power grab worldwide, including especially the U.S. Congress so that further American involvement with its large financial support will be cut off.
Thanks for watching on the wall in united prayer and trusting the Lord for His transformational breakthroughs!
Blessings, greetings, and thanks,
John Robb

"Everything Is Going Wrong For The Deep State" - Martin Armstrong Warns That's What
"Makes Them So Dangerous" Now
|
|
Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong is predicting political turmoil, civilian unrest, war and a big economic downturn in 2024 in a new report called “The Year from Political Hell.”
It’s not just a US election year, but it is an election year for more than half of the world. This is a global phenomenon which no one can be sure of the outcome.
Armstrong explains, “This is not just the United States election. This is what you hear on the news locally..."
" However, step outside this country, and, for example, Indonesia just voted in a leftist government. You have the EU going for elections. You have on May 2nd all the local elections in Britian. You have Russian elections on May 7th. 60% of the world is going to the polls in 2024 to vote for a new government. You might as well throw them into a tumbler, shake well and see what comes out. I mean it’s all over the place.”
On the war front, get ready for more mass killing, and don’t be surprised if it goes nuclear. Armstrong predicts,
“There will be nuclear weapons. The neocons keep telling people on Capitol Hill that Russia would never use a nuke because they know we would use them back. That is nonsense! If you are about ready to conquer somebody, and this is all they’ve got left, they are pushing the button...
These people, all they want is war. They don’t care. They really do not care. They don’t care about the economy. They don’t care about anything.” (ZeroHedge) Read more here.

- Lord God, we may not know everything that the enemy has planned for this year but You do. So we just agree with Your plans for this nation, Lord, and for the entire world. We agree with heaven's agenda and we reject this worldly system. As a corporate body of Christ Jesus, we come against all plans, agendas, wars, famines, and disease, and we cut it at the root right now in Jesus' name, and we command it to cease and desist these maneuvers, in Jesus' name, amen.

1. Saudi Report Says Hamas Chief Sinwar Escaped to Egypt with Hostages, Israel Denies - Algemeiner
Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, may have escaped with hostages to Egypt via tunnels in Rafah, the Saudi-based Elaph news site reported on Tuesday citing an Israeli security source.
Israeli officials later denied the claim saying there was no intelligence to support it.
According to the Arabic-language report, Sinwar fled to Egypt through the vast network of tunnels in Rafah along with his brother Mohammad Sinwar and other key Hamas operatives.
The IDF said later on Tuesday that it had no reason to believe that Sinwar was not still in Gaza. (Read more)

2. Erdan: Not condemning Hamas is a UN tradition - Israel National News
Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan spoke today (Tuesday) in the Security Council after the United States vetoed a proposed resolution presented by Algeria calling for a ceasefire which would keep Hamas in power.
Ambassador Erdan criticized the Council members who voted for and supported the resolution, “For the past 137 days, the only solution discussed on the international stage is this absurd notion of a ceasefire. Will a ceasefire bring home the hostages? Will a ceasefire eliminate Hamas? Will a ceasefire disarm Hezbollah, the Houthis, and all the other Iranian terrorist proxies in our region?"
"With a ceasefire in place, Hamas will regroup, rearm, and their next attempted genocide against Israelis will only be a question of when, not if…a 4-year-old and a baby were taken hostage by Hamas, and most of you choose to support a ceasefire? Why do you want to leave them in Gaza? Do you not see how immoral that is and what kind of precedent this would set for terrorists around the globe? Did you think about baby Kfir when you voted on this resolution? A resolution that would ensure that Kfir, along with 133 other hostages, remain in dark terror tunnels?” he demanded. (Read more)

3. Qatar: Hamas 'confirms' medicine delivered to Gaza hostages - Jerusalem Post
Hamas has confirmed receipt of a shipment of medicines under a deal brokered by Qatar and has begun delivering the supplies to hostages held in Gaza, Qatar's foreign ministry spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday.
Qatar and France brokered a deal with Israel and Hamas last month on the delivery of urgent medication to hostages held by the terror group in Gaza in return for humanitarian and medical aid for the most vulnerable civilians in the enclave.
"Qatar received these confirmations as the mediator in the agreement, which includes the entry of the medicines and shipment of humanitarian aid to civilians in the Gaza Strip, especially in the most affected and damaged areas, in exchange for delivering the medicines needed by hostages in the sector," Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman, Majed Al-Ansari, said in a statement.

4. South African Christians to hold nationwide prayer for Israel - Jerusalem Post
Hundreds of South African Christians are expected to gather in significant towns nationwide next Sunday to offer prayers for both South Africa and Israel. They intend to show solidarity with the Jewish state and to disassociate themselves from what they perceive as South Africa's unfounded accusation of genocide against Israel.
"Many of the Christian community are deeply unhappy about the allegations being leveled by our government on Israel," explained Philip Rosenthal, director of ChristianView Network, who will participate in the afternoon of prayer. "We believe in Genesis 12 that this will bring a curse on South Africa unless we distance ourselves from it. So we will do that, and we have been doing that very strongly."
The February 25 afternoon of prayer is organized by Time2Rise South Africa and will begin at 4 p.m. at various locations throughout the country. Each session will include a prayer for Israel, a declaration against the International Court of Justice case against the Jewish state, and a prayer for Divine intervention in South Africa.

5. ‘Their fate is sealed’: IDF demolishes tunnel spanning length of Gaza - Jerusalem Post
The IDF’s 646th Reserve Brigade, during its operations over the past months, destroyed a “strategic” subterranean Hamas tunnel route that ran from northern to southern Gaza, the IDF stated on Tuesday.
The IDF has been conducting extensive work in the tunnels beneath Gaza in recent weeks. On Monday, the IDF published footage recovered from a tunnel showing footage of the kidnapping of the Bibas family. The footage was dated to the early days of the war.
Last week, in another Hamas tunnel, the IDF recovered footage of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as he fled with his family. (Read more)

1. Biden Admin Shells Out Taxpayer Dollars On Getting Americans To Eat Trash-Fed Bugs – Daily Caller
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) began funding research into trash-fed crickets as an alternative to conventional and “unsustainable” protein production in July 2023, a federal grant listing shows.
The $130,000 grant supports research that “addresses the need for more cost-efficient production of crickets as a sustainable protein source,” according to the listing. Specifically, the grant will support research into using municipal landfill waste to feed crickets that will later be harvested for human consumption.
USDA awarded the grant to Mighty Cricket Inc., a private firm that sells cricket flour, cricket protein powder and cricket oatmeal. The agency believes that using landfill waste to feed crickets could help the firm “procure cricket feed at lower cost than what is available on the market,” leading to savings that could then be passed along to the consumer.
USDA’s grant listing criticizes traditional animal farming for being too resource-intensive and too harsh on the environment. (Read more)
- Dear Lord in Heaven, something is wrong with the minds of the current administration, that they would attempt to force people to eat bugs in the name of the false religion of Climate Change. We ask that You intervene in this situation, and thwart every one of these plans.
- “Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; state a proposal, but it will not happen. For God is with us.” (Isaiah 8:10)

2. Biden Admin Proposes Student Loan Cancellation for Borrowers With ‘Hardship’ – The Epoch Times
Months after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked a blanket federal student loan debt cancellation plan, the Biden administration is proposing a new way for as many borrowers as possible to qualify to have their remaining balance discharged.
Under a plan unveiled on Feb. 15, the U.S. Department of Education said it would consider “hardship” in borrowers’ lives that could hinder the progress of repaying their loans when the agency determines who is eligible for debt relief.
The proposal outlines a wide range of factors that could be used to identify “hardship.”
For example, having a relatively high loan balance and required payments compared to one’s household income would become key factors in the Education Department’s consideration. Whether a borrower has “high-cost burdens for essential expenses” such as paying for child care or health care would be considered as well.
Some other categories of borrowers who could receive debt discharges in this new plan are those who have outstanding balances greater than what they originally borrowed; those who have loans that first entered repayment 20 or 25 years ago; those who took out loans to attend a career training program that didn’t pay off; and those who have been eligible for debt relief through different plans but have never received it. (Read more)
- Lord, in spite of Supreme Court rulings, this administration presses forward with actions that will ultimately fall back upon taxpayers’ burdens. We ask that all of their plans be thwarted.
- “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.” (Proverbs 6:16-19)

3. US to impose 'major sanctions' on Russia over Navalny death - Reuters
The U.S. will announce a major package of sanctions against Russia on Friday over the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny and the two-year Ukraine war, President Joe Biden said on Tuesday.
Biden, speaking to reporters as he departed on a trip to California, did not give details.
The latest sanctions on Russia will target a range of items, including the country's defense and industrial bases, along with sources of revenue for the economy, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said.
The package will "hold Russia accountable for what happened to Mr. Navalny" and for its actions over the course of the war in Ukraine, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said. A senior U.S. official said a sanctions package was already being planned to mark the second anniversary of the war, which Washington will now reconsider and supplement in response to Navalny's death. (Read more)
- Father, we thank You for the U.S. taking a stand against Russia in this matter. It is an evil affair to see the way this man has been attacked, both through poisoning in public and now, death in Siberia and we pray for justice on his behalf, in Jesus name. We pray for these sanctions to have a strong effect against Putin and the leadership of Russia, so that they would all be brought under Your authority and honor human lives.

4. Chinese coast guard boat driven away from Taiwanese waters as tensions continue to rise between the two - Fox News
Taiwan on Tuesday drove away a Chinese coast guard boat that entered waters near its sensitive frontline islands, in a rise in tensions a day after China's coast guard boarded a Taiwanese tourist boat that a Taiwan minister said has triggered "panic".
A Chinese coast guard boat, numbered 8029, entered Taiwan's waters near Kinmen on Tuesday morning, Taiwan's coast guard said in a statement, adding it dispatched a boat and used radio and broadcast to drive away its Chinese counterpart, which left the area an hour later.
Taiwan's coast guard said it will continue to use radar, surveillance and patrols to ensure the "harmony and safety" near the waters of Taiwan-controlled Kinmen islands, which are close to China's shores. Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory despite the island's rejection, has been wary of efforts by Beijing to ramp up pressure on Taipei following the election last month of Lai Ching-te as president, a man Beijing views as a dangerous separatist. (Read more)
- Father, we pray for Taiwan's sovereignty to hold firm in the face of China's aggression and plots to take over. We saw what they did to Hong Kong and we bind and rebuke their plans to violently impose themselves upon Taiwan, in Jesus name. We call for a strong wall of Godly protection over Taiwan and ask You Father, to bring this nation to You in a deeper and more committed way, in fact, let Holy Spirit revival flow over Taiwan, for Your glory. Amen.
- "He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them. He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, And makes them wander in a pathless wilderness." (Job 12:23-24)

5. Largest-ever COVID vaccine study links shot to small increase in heart and brain conditions - Fox News
The largest COVID vaccine study to date has identified some risks associated with the shot. Researchers from the Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) in New Zealand analyzed 99 million people who received COVID vaccinations across eight countries.
They monitored for increases in 13 different medical conditions in the period after people received a COVID vaccine. The study, which was published in the journal Vaccine last week, found that the vaccine was linked to a slight increase in neurological, blood and heart-related medical conditions, according to a press release from GVDN.
People who received certain types of mRNA vaccines were found to have a higher risk of myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart muscle. Some viral-vector vaccines were linked to a higher risk of blood clots in the brain, as well as an increased likelihood of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a neurological disorder in which the immune system attacks the nerves. (Read more)
- Father, we thank You that proof is coming out showing that the covid injections have serious consequences to human health. There are more and more articles and research showing the tragic consequences to human health from this irresponsible rush to inject all of human-kind. We pray for justice, we pray for healing, we pray for every family who has suffered immeasurably because of the dire response to covid-19, in Jesus name.
- "'Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.'" (Jeremiah 33:6)

6. Committee Members Want Massachusetts National Guard to Restore Order at Violent High School - Breitbart
Several leaders at Massachusetts’ Brockton High School are asking for major help to quell violence among students on campus. Due to the rising violent incidents, four school committee members have asked that the state’s National Guard be sent in to monitor the young people, NBC Boston reported Sunday:
“Recognizing the gravity of the situation, we are formally requesting that you reach out to Governor Healey and request the deployment of the National Guard to assist in restoring order, ensuring the safety of all individuals on the school premises, and implementing measures to address the root causes of the issues we are facing.
We understand the gravity of this request and the importance of collaboration between local and state authorities. The National Guard’s expertise in crisis management and community support can offer a vital temporary intervention, allowing for a comprehensive, long-term solution to be developed in consultation with all relevant stakeholders.”
(Read more)
- Mighty God, we put this school into Your hands and pray for some courageous, God-fearing people in the community who will step up and bring Jesus to the school, inside and outside, in the homes and in the streets. Let the spirit of the Living God flow and wash this school and its people with salvation and life in the Kingdom, in Jesus' holy name.

7. Police ‘staffing crisis’ prompts Louisiana Gov. Landry to declare state of emergency amid 'increased crime' - The Blaze
Louisiana Republican Governor Jeff Landry declared a state of emergency Thursday over a shortage of police officers, the Associated Press reported.
Landry, a former police officer and sheriff’s deputy, signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency, citing Louisiana’s statewide police officer shortage, which the governor claimed has led to an increase in crime.
According to a Friday press release from the governor’s office, Louisiana sheriffs’ offices across the state are down roughly 1,800 deputies as of July. The record-low employment has resulted in longer response times, it noted.
Landry’s executive order read, “Nation and State are experiencing a police officer staffing crisis, and law enforcement agencies are losing officers faster than they can hire new ones. (Read more)
- Holy One, this is a serious step by Governor Landry on behalf of his state and we ask for Your guidance for him as he moves ahead to govern and protect the citizens of Louisiana, in Jesus name. We pray against the lunacy running rampant across this nation that is both disrespecting and putting targets on our police forces, resulting in a massive deficit of officers. These actions are intended to release evil, violence and fear amongst the citizens of this nation and we rebuke it, in Jesus name. We declare the peace of God will rule over this land and the wisdom of God will fill the hearts and minds of leaders who enforce the rule of law, as intended, in Jesus name.
- "Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore. For the Lord loves justice And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off." The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever." (Psalm 37:27-29)

Biden Celebrating Abortion
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, February 20, 2024
Throughout the off-year state elections in Virginia, the Democratic Party saw that abortion was the big-ticket winner. The democrats pounded the airwaves characterizing their opponents as Trump anti-abortion extremists. Now Joe Biden is taking his political preborn killing strategy nationwide. Katie Cox, the woman who sued Texas so she could abort her baby has been invited to Biden’s State of the Union as an honored guest. Cox will be sitting next to First Lady Jill. Cox lost her case at the Texas Supreme Court, but she had already traveled out of state for an abortion. This is portrayed by the pro-death crowd as a horrible, extremist violation of her rights. But there’s a lot more to the story.
In July 2023, 15 women sued Texas saying that the state’s abortion law didn’t provide exceptions for if the mother’s life was in jeopardy. The case went to the Texas Supreme Court and lost because the women couldn’t prove that their lives were in danger. Cox and another Biden supporter OB-GYN Dr. Austin Dennard had out-of-state abortions. They both had very similar situations and both are lending their stories to the Biden campaign to position Republicans and Trump as right-wing extremists. Dennard has done a campaign ad chuck full of problematic claims upon which the Biden folks are building their entire campaign in an effort to brainwash people that killing their preborn kids is righteous.

Trump Lawyer Says He’s ‘Prepared’ to Pay Nearly $400 Million Bond to Appeal Fraud Judgment
|
|
|
|
A lawyer for Donald Trump said that the former president will pay the nearly $400 million bond required to appeal a fraud ruling in New York City.
“I can tell you what the rules are. Within 30 days, even if we choose to appeal this, and we will, we have to post the bond, which is the full amount and then some,” said Alina Habba during a Fox News interview on Feb. 19.
“We will be prepared to do that,” she said, adding that it’s “close to $400 million for something [where] he did nothing wrong.”
‘Scare Tactic’
“What they’re trying to do between this case and my last case is put [Trump] out of business,” Ms. Habba said during the Fox interview. “It’s not gonna work, number one. Number two, what they’re doing is a scare tactic.
“Unfortunately, they picked the wrong guy to pick on, in my opinion, because he’s strong, he’s resilient and he happens to have a lot of cash.”
The attorney asserted again that the case is politically motivated against President Trump, “because they can’t beat him in November.”
She added, “So I want to use their words against them and invite them to show me how no one is actually above the law.” (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

'Voting for Biden Is National Suicide': Former AG Delivers Backhanded Trump Endorsement
|
|
|
|
America’s former top lawyer is warning against another four years of President Joe Biden. According to Axios reporter Mike Allen, former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr told the Forum Club of Southwest Florida on Friday that although he has issues with former President Donald Trump, incumbent Joe Biden is significantly worse. Barr said, “Voting for Trump is playing Russian roulette with the country. Voting for Biden is outright national suicide.”
Despite serving as Trump’s attorney general for nearly two years, Barr has been critical of the 45th president over the past three years. As recently as last June, for example, Barr took to CBS News to label his former boss “a consummate narcissist” and a “fundamentally flawed person.” Barr’s 2022 memoir “One Damn Thing After Another” was also critical of Trump’s presidency. For his part, Trump responded with an equally-scathing letter calling Barr “slow and lethargic,” alleging that the AG shied away from difficult decisions out of fear of Democrat-led political retaliation. “Bill Barr cares more about being accepted by the corrupt Washington Media and Elite than serving the American people,” Trump wrote. “When the Radical Left Democrats threatened to hold him in contempt and even worse, to Impeach him, he became virtually worthless to Law and Order and Election Integrity. They broke him like a trainer breaks a horse.” (The Washington Stand) Read more here.

- Father, we call for a halt to the continual harassment and hatred of President Trump. We know that those who are determined to stop him are those who want to overthrow our Constitutional Republic in favor of some version of socialism/communism, and we won't have it, in Jesus name. We pray for all those who stand with President Trump to be able to speak truth to the many nay-sayers around them, so that there is such an overwhelming groundswell that will be successful in recovering our nation and moral compass, in Jesus name.

South Carolina Advances Bill Protecting Minors from Gender Transition Procedures
|
|
|
|
A bill to protect minors in the South Carolina legislature is rapidly advancing, despite efforts by LGBT activists and the medical lobby to derail it. The Help Not Harm Act (H. 4624) passed the state House overwhelmingly (82-23) on January 17, and it received its first hearing in the Senate Medical Affairs Subcommittee on Wednesday.
“What this bill and bills like it have done is to offer help to those who are struggling with gender dysphoria,” explained Mitch Prosser, interim president of the Palmetto Family Council, on “Washington Watch” last week. “There are those that are struggling with a clinically diagnosable disorder, gender dysphoria, and many of them are only being told half of the story. … Many people don’t even know there’s another side. … As they struggle with gender dysphoria, they’re only hearing, ‘You can take these pills … or you can have a surgical procedure.’”
“What is being called ‘gender affirming care’ … really is genital mutilation,” Prosser argued. “It is destroying who God made them to be as image bearers and a representation of who he made us to be.” When people with gender dysphoria encounter one-sided counseling, he explained, “they don’t even know that they’re image bearers. They don’t even know that they have the opportunity to learn who God made them to be and [to] get the help they desperately need in order to understand who God made them to be as image bearers of him.”
The two factions visibly opposed to South Carolina’s Help Not Harm bill, according to Prosser, are the medical lobby and LGBT activists. “There is a lot going on behind the scenes in the medical community,” he said. “There’s a lot of money to be made through pharmaceutical companies, who are literally chemically castrating children.” (The Washington Stand) Read more.

- Father, we thank You that the government of the State of South Carolina has not forgotten to protect their children, but rather are taking action to protect these little ones from the dangers of "gender affirming care." May each member of this legislature be protected by Your Mignty Hand, and may this state government serve as a role model in the effort to protect our children in all of our 50 states. Amen.
- “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to tumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be
drowned in the depths of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6)

School bus-sized satellite to crash into Earth's atmosphere this week
|
|
|
The European Space Agency's ERS-2 satellite captured data on Earth's land, oceans and polar caps, including monitoring natural disasters. According to ESA Space Debris Office, the satellite will likely burn up in Earth's atmosphere on Wednesday morning.
A defunct European Space Agency satellite the size of a school bus will come crashing down to Earth this week, more than a decade after the spacecraft finished its mission observing Earth's systems and natural disasters.
ESA's first advanced Earth-observing satellite, the ERS-2, launched on April 21, 1995. After studying Earth's land, oceans and polar caps for 16 years, ESA opted to end its operation in 2011 and deorbit the satellite to prevent the creation of more space debris.
NASA, ESA and other international aerospace community members have guidelines to reduce dead satellites and rocket parts in low-Earth orbit by requiring post-mission disposal of natural decay or a controlled entry.
For ERS-2, mission control sent a series of commands to the 38-foot-tall satellite to lower its altitude over 66 maneuvers until it was in a passive orbit.
The large satellite was recently spotted in late January and early February descending through Earth's atmosphere by other spacecraft in orbit. The ESA said images from HEO, an Australian company, were taken for the UK Space Agency showing the ERS-2 satellite tumbling through the atmosphere. Read More

'Revival Is Here':
Thousands Turn to Jesus at #2 US Party School,
Hundreds Get Baptized in Fountain
|
|
New York Times best-selling Christian author and founder of IF:Gathering Jennie Allen is reporting once again that the Spirit of God is moving in the hearts of thousands of college students, this time at Florida State University in Tallahassee. In a post to Instagram and Facebook on Friday, she shared a photo of a student who had just been baptized in the university's Westcott Fountain on Thursday night. "It's happening again! FSU Baptisms! Hundreds maybe a thousand students came forward to trust Jesus. We can't explain what's happening apart from the Spirit," she wrote. In a second post, Allen shared a video showing hundreds of FSU students gathered around the fountain, singing and praising God. "4,500 Florida State University (one of the biggest party schools in the nation) students confessed struggles and sin tonight. Hundreds came forward to trust Christ. And this is them singing and dancing as they head to spontaneous baptisms," she wrote in text over the video of the students. Along with the video clip, she explained, "God keeps doing it!! They confessed their sin. They came forward in droves tonight to trust Jesus. We baptized hundreds in a fountain usually used for partying and worse. And it's all just the beginning. It literally is everywhere I go right now. Revival is here. And there is no explaining it - when it's God! #FSU #baptisms."
FSU is the reportedly the top "party school" in the state and is the second-biggest so-called "party school" in the country, according to the website Niche that has more than a half million reviews submitted by college and university students in the U.S. One user responded, "My daughter is there! She says it's been incredible. They are hungry. And not in just a swept up in the moment way." Another user wrote, "My daughter was one of the students who was baptized in the fountain that night after the conference! Praise God!!!" One person asked what follow-up was being done by local churches to help the students grow in their new spiritual journey. A few users responded that the students who were baptized are being connected with area churches, who will follow up with them individually. The impromptu baptisms were the result of a free worship event titled Unite FSU that was held on Thursday, Feb. 15 at the university's Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. Jonathan "JP" Pokluda, the lead pastor of the Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, and Allen were the featured speakers. Unite is a movement of college students united to lift the name of Jesus, according to the organization's website. (CBN) Read More

Peace, Perfect Peace
To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE
Words: Edward Bickersteth
Music: George Caldbeck
Scripture: You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3
Lyrics:
Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus’ bosom naught but calm is found.
Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus’ keeping we are safe, and they.
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.
Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.
It is enough: earth’s struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus call us to Heaven’s perfect peace.
Peace, perfect peace, ’mid suffering’s sharpest throes?
The sympathy of Jesus breathes repose.
