Jesus Allegedly Appears to Man Amid Horrific Accident, Transforms His Entire Life
|
|
|
Samuel Brownback, co-chair of International Religious Freedom Summit, an annual gathering bringing thousands of leaders together to expose global religious persecution, recently shared some of the horrors — and elements of hope — unfolding across the world. Among the more hope-filled stories, he documented the journey of a man from Nepal who converted from Hinduism to Christianity after experiencing an apparent visit from Christ. “He was involved in a traffic accident,” Brownback said. “He wasn’t a believer in Jesus at the time. His car went down the mountain and the friend with him was killed in the accident. He was able to get out of it, come back up, and try to find some help.”
At that point, though, this man reportedly had an encounter he would never forget. “Jesus appears to him and Jesus says to him, ‘I saved you, now you follow me,'” Brownback said, noting that the exchange transformed the man’s entire life. “And he’s been one of the people that’s talked the most about following Jesus in Nepal.” He continued, “And you hear story after story like that around the world, like these Pauline-type figures that are released on a country, and all they do is go out and tell their story.” (Faithwire) Watch Interview
- Abba Father we PRAISE You for amazing testimonies of real encounters with Jesus Christ causing immediate conversion and desire to share with the world. In the midst of these beautiful revelations, we also lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering persecution for their faith. Come to their rescue quickly and bring all necessary help for International Religious Freedom to create protective measures for all believers. Bless Sam Brownback for exposing the truth of persecution. By Your Holy Spirit guide intercessors to lift persecuted believers and their families in prayer without ceasing. In the Name of Jesus, we plead the blood of the Lamb upon each one and declare Your Hand of protection on them now. Bring powerful healing and restoration to those who have suffered much and cause Your GLORY to be revealed through their faithful lives. In Jesus Name-Amen.
- "My Father who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Fathers Hand." (John 10:29)

Iran Believed to be Behind Central Israel Bus Bombings, Initial Security Assessment Finds
|
|
Several buses exploded in various locations across central Israel on Thursday evening in a planned mass terror bombing attempt. At least three bombs exploded buses in the area of Bat Yam, Israel Police said.
The initial assessment from the security establishment is that the plan for the attack came from Iran, and was carried out by Hamas terrorists from the West Bank. Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) identified Iranian involvement in the West Bank by supplying weapons, training terrorists to carry out attacks, and assembling explosive devices, according to Maariv.
Iran also transferred large amounts of money to terror cells in West Bank, Maariv added.
The bombs were set to explode at "around 9 or 10am, but were set incorrectly," according to Maariv, and were composed of non-standard explosive material, including fertilizer and urea.
Bat Yam Mayor Zvika Brut told Maariv that he intends to increase security in the city, particularly around schools and other education establishments, but it is unlikely that terrorists remain in the area. (Jerusalem Post) Read more here. |

- Abba, we give You high praise for protecting Your people from demonic plans to murder many through blowing up buses in Your land. We thank You for ensuring that the detonators on these bombs were misprogrammed, saving many lives. Holy Spirit, dispatch Your warrior angels to protect Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and all lands given to Your people through Abraham. We ask that You deconstruct every plan and purpose of the enemy to kill, seal and destroy within the boundaries of Your nation, bring into the light all hidden in darkness. Jesus, we ask that Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We ask this in the name Jehovah Sabaoth, The Host of Heaven's Armies.

will protect us forever from the wicked,"

IAEA Reports Iran Has Enough Uranium for 6 Nuclear Bombs
|
|
|
The International Atomic Energy Agency has published new reports indicating Iran increased its enriched uranium stockpile by 92.5 kilograms, enough for two more atomic bombs
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Wednesday published two reports on Iran for its member states, revealing that Iran currently holds 274.8 kilograms (606 pounds) of enriched uranium.
The implication is that Iran can now produce two more bombs than before, up from four. According to the report, Iran has actually increased its uranium stockpile by 92.5 kilograms (202 pounds). The IAEA estimates that close to 42 kilograms (92.6 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60 percent is theoretically enough to produce a bomb, if it enriches up to 90 percent. Both report indicate a high level of enriched uranium production and accumulation in Iran, raising serious concerns. (I24News) Read more here. |

- Abba, the fear of nuclear war has been a concern for many years. We have been trusting You to keep Your creation safe from the enemies desire to destroy all that You made. Father God, we ask You to move on the hearts of all leadership in Iran, Israel, the US and all nations who have nuclear capabilities, let the fear of You fall on each heart, remind them who is God and it is not them! We ask You to intervene as these leaders discuss how to best move forward without causing chaos in our world. Holy Spirit, dispatch Your warrior angels to fight this battle against demonic forces in the heavenlies, bring forth victory and peace on the earth. We ask this in the name Jehovah Shalom, The Lord Our Peace.

but those who promote peace have joy."

Is the Stage Being Set for Damascus to Be Utterly Destroyed and Turned into a Heap of Ruins?
|
|
|
The Sunni radicals that have taken over Syria are demanding that all Israeli forces must leave Syrian territory. On the other side, the IDF is hammering military targets in southern Syria with a blistering wave of airstrikes, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that any military forces aligned with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham will not be allowed south of Damascus. Do you understand what this means? It means that Damascus is now right on the front lines of a conflict between Israel and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham that is rapidly heating up. If all-out war erupts, Damascus is likely to be absolutely devastated.
Of course many prominent buildings in Damascus have already been turned into piles of rubble, but now it appears that things could be about to go to the next level.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has confirmed that IDF airstrikes are being conducted in southern Syria, and he is warning that any attempt by forces aligned with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham to enter the security zone in southern Syria “will be met with fire”…
Israel confirmed it is conducting strikes in southern Syria, as the new Syrian government calls for the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Syrian territory.
“We will not allow southern Syria to become southern Lebanon,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said regarding the strikes. “Any attempt by the Syrian regime forces and the country’s terrorist organizations to establish themselves in the security zone in southern Syria will be met with fire.”
Katz said the Israeli Air Force is “now attacking strongly in southern Syria as part of the new policy we have defined of pacifying southern Syria.”
So just how large is the security zone in southern Syria?

- Abba, there are so many things in this article that can bring fear, but Abba, You are much bigger than any of these things. Holy Spirit, we ask You to move over the hearts of all who are called Jesus followers, pour in the truth of who You are in us and who we are in You. Remind us of Your promise that You will never leave us nor forsake us, that each of us was created for a purpose and You will complete the good work You started in us. Give us eyes to see You, even in the midst of darkness, reveal to us where You are and build our faith! We ask this in the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has power over all things
- "Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is
over Israel, whose power is in the heavens."

1. IDF seizes Hamas plans for mass attack in Judea, Samaria and central Israel - JNS
Defense Minister Israel Katz revealed on Thursday that security forces recently discovered Hamas files proving the terrorist group had plans to carry out a large-scale assault on communities in Judea and Samaria and along the Seam Line security barrier.
“Hamas files have been seized that had a purpose of attacking towns in Judea and Samaria and along the Seam Line,” Katz said in remarks to heads of regional councils, Israel Hayom reported.
“The communities in Judea and Samaria are the protective wall of most of the State of Israel,” the defense minister declared. “When Judea and Samaria are protected, the large cities are protected. We must be on the offensive in Judea and defeat the enemy.”

2. Israel sends delegation to Cairo for Gaza talks as ceasefire’s future put in doubt - Times of Israel
An Israeli delegation arrived in Cairo for “intensive” talks on the next stages of the Gaza hostage-ceasefire deal, Egypt said Thursday, joining mediators from the US and Qatar hoping to keep the fragile agreement alive as its initial stage draws to a close.
The talks were announced hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said it was dispatching negotiators to Cairo and other officials indicated that Jerusalem would seek to maintain the deal albeit without advancing to a second stage which would see Israeli troops withdraw from the Strip.
“The relevant parties have begun intensive talks to discuss the next phases of the truce agreement, amid ongoing efforts to ensure the implementation of the previously agreed understandings,” Egypt’s State Information Service said in a statement. (Read more)

3. Israeli official says IDF won’t withdraw from Philadelphi Corridor as ceasefire stipulates - Times of Israel
An Israeli official has sent a statement to Israeli reporters on condition of anonymity stating that Jerusalem will not withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor, despite the hostage-ceasefire deal’s requirement for the IDF to depart the Egypt-Gaza border stretch at the end of the first phase.
“We will not leave the Philadelphi Corridor. We will not allow the Hamas murderers to again roam our borders with pickup trucks and guns, and we will not allow them to rearm through smuggling,” the Israeli official says, maintaining that Hamas had been using the route to sneak weapons into Gaza.
In July, when Israel’s hostage negotiating team believed that it was on the verge of a hostage deal with Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu added new conditions aimed at maintaining Israel’s presence in the Philadelphi Corridor, thereby scuttling the talks, Israeli and Arab officials have told The Times of Israel.

1. Witnesses in House DOGE Panel Hearing Detail Billions of US AID Dollars Going to Terrorist Groups. – The Epoch Times
While some say money through USAID has been funding anti-democratic practices, one witness say China benefits whenever American foreign aid is withdrawn.
House Oversight Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee Chair Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and her GOP colleagues on the panel cited examples at Wednesday’s hearing of how foreign aid undermines U.S. interests abroad as Democrats sought to focus the discussion on Elon Musk, leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The contrast between the two parties’ perspectives on whether U.S. foreign aid, especially as distributed by USAID, helps or hurts American overseas objectives was clear from the opening statements by Greene and Ranking Member Rep. Angela Stansbury (D-N.M.).
“After hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayers’ dollars have been distributed throughout the world, has the world become safer? No,” Greene said in her statement. “Has the world become more stable? No. Is the perception of the United States around the globe any better? No.
“But have some of the most anti-democratic principles like censorship and the canceling of elections been funded through USAID because of opposition to the ruling regimes? Yes. Has money through USAID been funneled to terrorists? Yes.” (Read more) |

-Oh Father, we pray for our leaders to have Your wisdom as they manage the vast misuse of US dollars that have been used to promote terrorism worldwide as well as things You consider an abomination. Thank You for the close scrutiny and pushback that our government leaders have initiated and we pray that ALL fraud and misuse will surface and be quickly eliminated. If there are any voids, we pray that You will arrange for that void to be filled by those who carry Your Gospel and that the world will learn Your ways of living.

2. White House Orders Agencies to Accelerate Large Scale Firings of Federal Workers – The Epoch Times
The Trump administration is accelerating its sweeping federal workforce cuts, directing agency heads in a Feb. 26 memo to finalize plans for “large-scale” firings by mid-March.
Federal agencies have been ordered to prepare and submit “Phase 1 Agency RIF [reductions in force] and Reorganization Plans” by March 13, according to a memo jointly authored by Russell Vought, acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Charles Ezell, acting director of the Office of Personnel Management.
The directive implements and expands President Donald Trump’s Feb. 11 executive order aimed at launching a “critical transformation of the Federal bureaucracy.” The order seeks to downsize and restructure the government workforce—which Trump has long described as bloated and insular—to maximize efficiency and productivity.
“By eliminating waste, bloat, and insularity, my Administration will empower American families, workers, taxpayers, and our system of Government itself,” Trump wrote in the order, which he signed in the Oval Office alongside Elon Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE was created by Trump and tasked with rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in federal operations. (Read more) |
|
|
- We praise You, Lord, for the speed with which the streamlining of our government has occurred and pray that You will be giving the leaders wisdom from above for the hard job of eliminating waste of all kinds. We bless them to even increase the speed at which this moves so that no momentum is lost and pray that they find all areas where there is overlapping of jobs, unnecessary jobs, or no one at all in a position. May the workforce left in place be those who are diligent and efficient in every way.
- "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Colossians 3:17)

3. A Generation Led Astray: The Consequences of LGBT Indoctrination – Prophecy Newswatch
In recent years, we have witnessed a staggering and deeply troubling shift in how young people identify themselves regarding gender and sexuality. According to the latest Gallup poll, a record-high 9.3% of American adults now identify as LGBTQ. However, the most alarming aspect of this trend is the overwhelming representation of Generation Z in these numbers. More than one in five Gen Z adults (22.7%) now claim to be part of the LGBTQ community. This is a dramatic increase from previous generations and signals a cultural crisis that Christians cannot ignore.
The Social Contagion and Cultural Indoctrination
How did we get here? The answer lies in the deliberate and aggressive promotion of LGBTQ ideology in every facet of society. Whether in public schools, higher education, entertainment, corporate policies, or even church movements that have abandoned biblical teaching, young people today are bombarded with messages that distort truth and morality.
A key driver of this increase is what some researchers call "social contagion." Multiple studies have suggested that a significant portion of individuals, particularly young women, are being influenced into identifying as LGBT, especially as transgender, through peer pressure, online communities, and relentless media reinforcement.

- Father God, how disturbing this is to hear. We pray first of all for those who are caught up in this deception of the enemy. We pray that for each one, You will send a witness of the saving and delivering truth of Your special plans for each person on earth. We pray that You will orchestrate situations to prepare their hearts to receive You and Your truth. We secondly pray that there will be a decrease in the pressure and the messaging on social media and in schools of all kinds to indoctrinate young, impressionable minds. Also, Lord, we pray that parents will become more alert than ever to the voices their children are listening to. Help them, Lord, to protect and educate their children correctly.

4. 17 Signs That America’s Long Economic Slide Threatens to Become an Economic Avalanche – The Economic Collapse Blog
Are you better off than you were four years ago? If you are, you should consider yourself to be extremely fortunate, because the vast majority of the population is not. The U.S. economy has been sliding the wrong direction for a very long time, and now our economic momentum in the wrong direction is accelerating. Retail sales are slowing down, the housing market is in a depressed state, mass layoffs are happening all over the nation, stores are closing at a staggering pace, the cost of living has become extremely painful, and debt levels have soared to unprecedented heights. Four years of deteriorating economic conditions have brought us to a breaking point, and now we are witnessing quite a bit of shaking in the financial markets. Even though many in the mainstream media are still trying to deny it, the truth is that we are in an enormous amount of trouble. The following are 17 signs that America’s long economic slide threatens to become an economic avalanche…

- Father God, America needs help. Our economy is slowing down and inflation is rising. We need your help in all areas, housing, markets, stock, markets, retail markets, banking markets. Lord keep our country alive and let us thrive once again. You are America’s only hope we pray that you will intervene and give our leaders and CEOs of our companies supernatural ideas to turn us around quickly. We are believing in you and trusting in your Word as we receive your help. We give you all honor and all glory for the works you will do. In Jesus' mighty name we pray, amen and amen.

5. Massive Sting Nets 25 Arrests and 1.7 Million Fetanyl Pills in Arizona – The Epoch Times
Officials said the latest enforcement effort marks the next level of cooperation among state and federal agencies.
A major sting operation in Arizona has resulted in 25 arrests and the seizure of 1.7 million fentanyl pills and other drugs, as well as guns, vehicles, and a large amount of cash.
The seven-month enforcement effort called Operation Double Down targeted the illegal narcotics trade across the region from April to November 2024, and involved multiple agencies.
“Operation Double Down is a powerful example of what can be accomplished when law enforcement agencies at every level work together to combat the deadly flow of fentanyl and other illicit drugs into our communities,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement on Feb. 21.
The joint investigation discovered a transnational criminal organization operating in both the United States and Mexico, trafficking millions of dollars’ worth of illegal drugs, Mayes said. (Read more) |

We ask for supernatural protection over all these officers and their families and that no weapon formed against them will prosper. In Jesus' name, we thank you that these drugs, guns, vehicles, and cash have been removed off our streets.

6. DOJ Dismisses Biden Era Decrees Imposing DEI on Fire, Police Departments – The Epoch Times
‘American communities deserve firefighters and police officers to be chosen for their skill and dedication to public safety—not to meet DEI quotas,’ Bondi said.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has dismissed Biden-era consent decrees in North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, and Indiana that sought to impose diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring requirements on their fire and police departments.
DOJ chief of staff Chad Mizelle announced the move in a series of social media posts, citing the Trump administration’s commitment to prioritizing merit-based hiring over race-based preferences.
Consent decrees are legally binding agreements that settle legal disputes without admitting liability, often used to enforce policy changes in government agencies and institutions. Mizelle said that their introduction “sought to penalize fire and police departments for using race-neutral hiring tools.”
Mizelle explained that the Biden administration justified the need for the consent decrees as it faced lawsuits against certain officer hiring assessments. The assessments in question included written tests requiring only a 70 percent passing score, covering basic skills such as reading comprehension and report writing.
“There was NO evidence that the departments engaged in intentional discrimination,” Mizelle said on X. (Read more) |

- Lord of Lords, thank you that the DOJ is dismissing the ridiculous DEI policies that the Biden administration imposed on our fire and police departments. It is common sense to hire employees based on their God-given abilities and skills to do their jobs and not to be subject to DEI quotas. We thank you again and again for this new administration's commitment to merit based hiring instead of race based hiring. We pray this movement would continue throughout our nation, yielding fair and common sense hiring in all of our fire and police departments. We give you all our praise, our faithful and true God. In Jesus mighty name we pray amen and amen.

The Labyrinth of Lies
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, February 27, 2025
Americans are shocked that there are millions of people who are well over 100 years old on the Social Security rolls. In fact, there are 12,422,966 people over the age of 120 on the Social Security rolls. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Musk says Social Security Administration data indicates the number of people eligible for Social Security is more than 398 million, yet the Census Bureau estimates the national population to be roughly 341 million. In a February 17 tweet on X, Musk said that “This might be the biggest fraud in history.” The Guinness Book of World records reports that the world’s oldest living person is 116, but Social Security rolls have people older than that by more than double. It gets worse.
President Trump on February 18 read down the list and it just got more incredible the further he went. He said, “From 90 to 99, Social Security: 6,054,000 people. Well, that’s okay. Maybe that’s possible. You know, 90 to 99. Maybe it’s possible….But people that live to 100 to 109: 4,734,000. Wow, that’s a lot. That means over 100 years old. There are 4 million people…people that are 120 years old, up to 129: 3,472,000 people. Wow…People from 130 years old to 139 years old: 3,936,000. Wow. I wonder if people are getting paid with all this. I mean, are these checks — and that’s what we’re checking right now. People from 140 years old to 149 years old: 3,542,000. A hundred and forty years old and beyond. Now — now we’re really going because we’re looking to break the record by 25 years. Read More

The Answer to 1913 is 2025: Three Charts That Show Why the Income Tax, the IRS and the Federal Reserve Should be Abolished
|
|
|
Most Americans don’t know that for much of U.S. history there was no federal income tax and there was no central bank. But now everyone assumes that we must have a federal income tax and a central bank in order to have a functioning society. Today, there are just a handful of nations that do not have an income tax, and more than 99 percent of the entire population of the globe lives in a country that has a central bank. Of course the two work hand in hand. A central bank creates a spiral of borrowing that is meant to be unbreakable, and an income tax is necessary to service payments on that debt spiral. It is not a coincidence that a federal income tax and the Federal Reserve were both established in 1913. Since that time, we have piled up the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world, and that is precisely the outcome that the system was designed to produce.
So what is the solution to this colossal mess?
The answer to 1913 is 2025.
This year, we are seeing things get proposed in Washington D.C. that once would have been unthinkable.
- Lord God Almighty, we confess that the US, individually and corporately, has not followed Your Word-- Your precepts in the Bible that teach us all we need to know about dealing with finances. As the author of this article has stated, financially the US is well down the path of committing national suicide. Help us all to see that financial operations need to change radically if we expect our nation, and offspring, to prosper. We thank You for visibly uncovering the waste and fraud that has continued throughout our government for decades.
Praise You that the truths regarding our personal and national financial status can set us really free if we permit radical changes to our poor monetary choices and policies; help us to see, to understand and to act wisely. Abolishing the IRS, the Federal Reserve and the Income Tax would require a whole new perspective but brings the promise of real freedom. If this is part of Your solution, we say, “Yes, Lord, bring it on!” While transitions can be difficult, we know You can orchestrate victory out of the financial chaos we are currently living under. Please, Lord, raise the American population up to the challenge! We ask also for Your targeted, tangible help for those who “fall through the cracks” while changes are in process.
Abba, remove our faulty mindsets, and give us the mind of Christ. Bless and protect those who bring us truth.
- "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

'Blessed Is the Nation Whose God Is the Lord': First Trump Cabinet Meeting Opens with Prayer
|
|
|
|
President Trump convened his first cabinet meeting Wednesday, and the milestone was marked with prayer.
Scott Turner, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, led Trump's new team in an opening invocation.
"Father the Bible says that blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, Father today we honor You in Your rightful place and thank You for giving us this opportunity to restore faith in this country and be a blessing to the people of America, and we pray in our meeting that You would be glorified in our conversation. In Jesus name, Amen," Turner prayed as the group responded with "Amen."
While prayer moments were also a visible part of President Trump's first term, he said earlier this month that he's had a deeper realization about God since he was nearly killed by a would-be assassin's bullets during a campaign rally in Butler, PA last summer.
"None of us knows exactly when our time on earth will be over," Trump told those gathered at the National Prayer Breakfast. "You never know — a truth I confronted a few short months ago when there was an incident that … was not fun."
The president has frequently said he believes the Lord saved him that day. "God was watching me," Trump said.
“It changed something in me,” he said. “I feel even stronger. I believed in God, but I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened.” (CBN) Read more here.

- O Blessed Abba, Lord of the Universe, we weep with tears of joy to see what You have wrought! We praise and thank You for Your mercy, bountifully extended to Your people and our nation. While we realize that we are still very much in a war with the enemy, we see that You have chosen to reveal Your power and grace to us in the multitude of victories we have seen since the new Trump Administration took office on January 20.
We totally agree with Scott Turner, HUD Secretary, in his opening prayer for the first cabinet meeting of Pres. Trump’s second term. We pray that the prayers would both continue and multiply, and that Beloved Holy Spirit would make His presence known to each cabinet member. Yes, Lord, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, in the USA as it is in heaven. In the all powerful name of Yeshua, Amen!!!
- "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." (Eph. 3:20-21)

Dear Patriot Warriors,
The Muslim holy month of Ramadan starts at sundown tomorrow February 28th. Muslims will fast and intentionally seek Allah for 30 days.
There is much demonic activity that is energized out of the Muslim prayers and fasting of the season of Ramadan. We need to lift up our own fastings and prayers and raise our sword (the Word of God) against this activity and the deception of Islam and for the release of the Muslim people.
|
|
KEYS To Praying for Muslims..
- They don’t believe that God binds Himself to His people through covenants.
- They believe that works and legalized prayer is the only way to please their god.
- They have no guarantee of eternal reward or life in heaven, especially women.
- They have no concept of grace, nor is love present in the Quran.
- Their religion is based on intimidation and fear. This spirit of terror holds even whole nations and governments hostage, where Islamic leaders fear the violent reprisals of radical fundamentalists.
|

Decree Using the KEYS Above:
The sword of the Spirit declares over the stronghold of deception of Islam, “Your covenant with death is annulled and your agreement with hell shall not stand” (Isaiah 28:18). For the Lord Jesus Christ has already disarmed your powers and authorities, by making a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the blood of His cross (Colossians 2:15). And we declare that the Blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, continues to prevail against these demonic powers. Therefore, we declare annulled the efficacy of all Islamic prayer and false worship offered to this false god.
Jesus died so that all men would be saved and set free to know and worship HIM. Therefore, we loose the Muslim people from spirits of superstition, fear and intimidation. We loose them from the Deceiver and the anti-Christ spirit — the spirit of Islam. And we bind them to the Spirit of Truth (John 14:6 and 17) and to reconciliation with God (2 Corinthians 5:20).
We praise You, Lord, that the garment of Islam, the veil that is spread over all nations (Isaiah 25:7), is being unraveled, so that those who are walking in darkness would see the Great Light of Messiah Yeshua (Isaiah 9:2 and 6)! O Lord, give them “a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:9). Enlighten the eyes of their understanding (Ephesians 1:18) to see the true God, the Mighty One of Israel, Whose name alone is the Lord, the Most High over all the earth (Psalm 83:18)!
Thank You, Mighty Deliverer, for setting these captives free from a religion that imprisons them through deception, oppression and fear. Reveal Yourself to the Muslim people as the personal, covenant-keeping God Who manifests Himself to His people in grace and love. Visit them in dreams and visions of the night, when You open the ears of men and seal their instruction ... . That they might turn from their deeds, and that their souls might be rescued from the pit and their lives from perishing by the sword (Job 33:15-18)!
Most High God, glorify Yourself and set the captives free during this season of Ramadan!
Amen and Amen!

He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
He shall prevail against His enemies."

SpaceX rocket launches private moon lander and NASA 'trailblazer' to hunt for lunar water (video)
|

If all goes according to plan, the Athena lander will touch down near the moon's south pole on or around March 6.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off shortly after sunset this evening (Feb. 26), carrying Athena and NASA's ride-along Lunar Trailblazer orbiter aloft against a darkening sky here at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC).
Athena — which was built by the Houston-based spaceflight company Intuitive Machines — carries 10 NASA science instruments, many of which are designed to hunt for signs of water ice. Lunar Trailblazer will do similar work from its higher perch. That's a big priority for NASA, which aims to establish one or more human settlements on the moon via its Artemis program.
"I'm very excited to see the science that our tech demonstrations deliver as we prepare for humanity's return to the moon and the journey to Mars," Nicky Fox, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, said during a prelaunch briefing today.
The Falcon 9 launched at 7:16 p.m. EST (0017 GMT on Feb. 27) this evening from KSC’s Launch Complex-39A. About 8.5 minutes later, the rocket's first-stage booster came back to Earth for a landing on SpaceX's A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship as planned. This was the ninth launch and landing of the Falcon 9 booster (B1083) supporting the IM-2 mission. Read More

"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."
