5,000 Students Seek Jesus at WVU,
Nearly 1,000 Respond to Altar Call: 'Life-Changing Salvation'
|
|
Organizers of a nationwide revival movement taking place on college campuses across the United States say they were "blown away" Tuesday night after 5,000 students gathered at West Virginia University to praise Jesus. UniteUS is an evangelistic college campus movement marked by salvations, water baptisms, and worship, and last night at the Morgantown, WV campus was no different. We are blown away at how God moved tonight at the WVU Coliseum.
Before visiting each campus, we pray and ask God to do what only He can do. And we saw that happen as the room filled up tonight with 5,000 students chasing after Him in Morgantown," the founder and visionary behind UniteUS, Tonya Prewett, told CBN News. "Over a thousand students saved, set free, and flooding the altar to make a move toward something different than the world has to offer," she shared. Prewett continued, "Life-changing salvation. Life-altering freedom. Life-giving connections. Jesus is marking this generation." (CBN) Read More Here
- Abba Father, we lift a HALLELUJAH for the thousands who witnessed Your presence at WVU and for those who surrendered their lives by being baptized! Bless each new believer as they are discipled in the Word of God. Continue to empower the efforts of UniteUs ministry, as they visit college campuses across America and transform the atmosphere through worship, altar calls and student's acceptance to follow Christ. We declare in Jesus Name, Your Holy Spirit FIRE will fall upon university students and bring an awakening for true REVIVAL across our nation! In Jesus Mighty name-Amen and Amen.

They Are Accusing Trump of "Manufacturing" a Recession: What's Really Going on?
|
|
Is it just a coincidence that a large number of talking heads in the corporate media have all suddenly decided to start blaming Donald Trump for causing a "recession"?
During the four years of the Biden administration those same voices insisted that there was no "recession" on the horizon even though homelessness was setting record high after record high, demand at food banks surged to levels never seen before, inflation was out of control, home sales plunged to extremely depressed levels, stores and restaurants were closing all over the nation and debt levels were breaking records.
Let's be real. The U.S. economy has been on a downward trajectory for a long time, and that downward trajectory got even steeper in the final stages of the Biden administration. But now we are being told that the economic problems that we are experiencing are happening because Donald Trump is "manufacturing" a recession...CNBC host Jim Cramer went off on President Donald Trump for fueling recession fears and cratering the stock market, noting competitor markets are "crushing us" and accusing Trump of potentially "manufacturing" a recession -- or worse.
Really?
Trump has been in office less than 60 days. He simply has not had much of an opportunity to have much of an impact on the economy yet.
But following more than 1,400 days of Joe Biden, U.S. households were absolutely drowning in debt. In fact, we just learned that the average credit card debt load during the fourth quarter of last year was the highest that we have seen since the Great Recession...

- Abba, there is much concern about the US economy and where it will be taking us as a nation over the next months. President Trump is working to bring our trade deficit on par with our trading partners, but that will take some time to complete. We ask You to go before President Trump, make the pathway smooth and straight as he puts tariffs in place, please keep Your hand on our economy as all things fall into place. Father God, raise up Your intercessors with wisdom and understanding to pray that what You intend to change will be changed with no negative economic side effects, allow Your people to begin to see the growth and positive impact that You are bringing through Your son, Donald. We decree and declare that the voice of the "woke" media will be silenced by the increase in all measures of economic growth in our country, in Jesus' name. We ask all of this in the name Jehovah Jireh, The Lord Will Provide.

gathers money little by little makes it grow."

6G's Prophetic Implications: More Than Just a Tech Upgrade
|
|
|
I don't know how many people remember Operation Mockingbird. This was a covert CIA program launched in the 1950s to manipulate mainstream media. Journalists on the CIA payroll were given talking points to push specific narratives, influencing what Americans saw and believed.
This was exposed in 1976 by The Church Committee Hearings, which the Senate Intelligence Committee conducted. These hearings revealed that terms like "fake news" was a term created by the CIA for the JFK Assassination.
In a 1977 Rolling Stones magazine article, Carl Bernstein confirmed that major media outlets--including CBS, NBC, ABC, NY Times, AP, UPI, Reuters, Saturday Evening Post, Newsweek, and Time--had news reporters and journalists on the CIA payroll. George H.W. Bush, the CIA director at the time, said, "The CIA will no longer pay journalists to write stories; it will now be voluntary."
6G and AI integration
I remind you of this because there was a time when the elite wanted to keep what they were doing under wrap. That has changed. These elites are now so confident that nothing can be done to stop their plans that they are now publicly releasing what they plan to do next.
Even with their plans being put out for all to see, they seem confident that most of the general public still has no understanding of what is being planned--6G and AI integration--which are being promoted as a breakthrough for sustainability, efficiency, and convenience.
But the reality is far deeper: this has been a slow, deliberate march toward total surveillance, control, and the erosion of individual autonomy. (Prophecy News Watch)

- Abba, the enemy would love to use the internet and AI as tools against Your people through monitoring our actions and trying to control our thoughts through what "appears real". We ask You to give Your intercessors vision and wisdom to know how to pray against these demonic plans. Father God, we ask You to bring confusion and uncertainty to those who develop these tools, allow mistakes to be made in calculations ensuring "failed testing", allow developmental processes to not work as designed, let Your hand be seen bringing down these evil schemes.
Your Word tells us that as Your enemies plot ways to stop Your intentions for them and for us, You sit in the heavenlies and laugh! Give us eyes to see You and ears to hear You as You laugh, knowing they are powerless against You. We ask this in the name of El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has ultimate power over all things.
- "Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vane?
The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them."

China is Preparing for War and the Chinese Military is Now Ahead of the US Military in Many Key Areas
|
|
Do you remember the days when the complete and utter dominance of the U.S. military could not be questioned? Sadly, those days are long gone. I have written extensively about how the Russian military has now surpassed us in a number of key areas, but it could be argued that the ascendancy of the Chinese military has been even more stunning. At this point nobody can deny the fact that China is a military superpower, and Chinese defense spending continues to soar ...
China will raise defense spending by 7.2 percent for a third consecutive year, the country said Wednesday, as it continues a military buildup that a Trump Pentagon nominee has warned is geared toward war with the United States.
Of course when we are talking about China we always need to make a distinction between the figures that are being released for public consumption and what is really going on behind the scenes.
That makes the Chinese military the largest in the world.
That makes the U.S. military just the third largest in the world.
But at least we have a bigger navy, right?
Wrong.
At this point China has more than 700 warships, while the U.S. now has fewer than 500 warships. (The Economic Collapse Blog) Read more here. |

- Abba, there is much concern about China's ability to wage war against our country. In the last few decades, enemies foreign and domestic have plotted to destroy our nation, to conform us to a Communist way of life and, sadly, we have not been watching and we now seem to be at a disadvantage from the human perspective. Lord, our response must be, "BUT GOD"! Without You, nothing can save our world as we know it, but with You all things are possible. Give us the grace to seek Your face as our God, our Savior, our Deliverer, build our faith to know You as God, the creator of all things! Teach us to get on our faces before You, to pray in the Spirit when we have no words and to pray in our native tongue when we do have words, show us Your faithfulness in keeping the promises You have given us. Help us become a people who know who we are because we know who You are in us. We ask this in the name El Gibhor, Mighty God, the God who will accomplish the destruction of His enemies and rule with an iron rod.
- "He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold
and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take
refuge, who subdues peoples under me."

2. Israel strikes in Damascus: 'Julani will find fighter jets circling above him'- Israel Hayom
Arab media outlets reported on Thursday that an airstrike attributed to Israel targeted the "Damar Project" area near Damascus, Syria. The area is a luxury residential district in the northwestern part of the Damascus metropolitan area. The building that was hit caught fire, but as of now, no casualties have been reported.
Shortly after the reports emerged, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the IDF Air Force strike. "There will be no immunity for Islamic terrorism against Israel, not in Damascus and not anywhere else. Wherever terrorist activity is organized against Israel, the leader of radical Islam, Julani, will find Israeli fighter jets circling above him and striking terror targets. We will not allow Syria to become a threat to the State of Israel," Katz said.
According to reports, the target was likely a headquarters of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization. A Syrian security source told Al-Hadath that the strike was aimed at a Palestinian figure. (Read more)

3. ‘Blood libel': UN continues to make accusations against Israel - Israel National News
A new report by the United Nations claims that Israel committed "genocidal acts" during the war in Gaza, including intentional harm to women's health facilities and the weaponization of sexual violence.
The report claims that Israel committed sexual violence against Gazans, including making them undress in public and carrying out sexual assault as part of the procedures meant to punish Palestinian Arabs for the October 7th Massacre.
It also claims that there was a surge in maternity deaths due to restricted access to medical supplies, amounting "to the crime against humanity of extermination." (Read more)

4. Netanyahu: Shin Bet head is blackmailing me with 'mafia-style' threats - Jerusalem Post
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the Shin Bet head is conducting a "campaign of blackmail against him," in response to Bar's predecessor Nadav Argaman's sharp criticism of him in an N12 interview on Thursday evening.
Earlier in the evening, Argaman told N12, “If I come to the conclusion that the prime minister has decided to act against the law, there will be no choice—I will say everything I know and have withheld until now.”
Argaman's comments come amid efforts to revive the judicial overhaul. He said he has yet to reveal certain incriminating information because he wishes "to preserve the significance of the relationship between the head of the Shin Bet and the prime minister." (Read more)

5. IDF Launches Multiple Strikes in Lebanon - Jewish Press
On Thursday evening, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched at least five strikes in Lebanon, targeting a Hezbollah missile facility in the Beqaa Valley. This site had been previously attacked by the IDF and is now reportedly being rebuilt by the terrorist organization.
The strike was carried out after intelligence indicated that Hezbollah was working to restore the missile production plant. The IDF’s assessment suggests that Hezbollah may be planning attacks against Israeli forces operating in the buffer zone along the northern border, according to a News12 report.
The IDF’s ongoing operations during the ceasefire with Lebanon are part of a broader effort to prevent Hezbollah from restoring its capabilities and to deter future aggression. Israeli officials have repeatedly warned that they will not tolerate attempts by Hezbollah to rebuild or enhance its military infrastructure. (Read more)

1. The Islamization of American Towns: New Jersey’s First Islamic City is a Warning – Prophecy Newswatch
A shocking transformation is unfolding in Paterson, New Jersey, where local officials are rapidly reshaping the city into an Islamic stronghold. Once a beacon of American industry and blue-collar resilience, Paterson has become a case study in how unchecked Islamic immigration, demographic shifts, and political pandering can erode a city's original identity.
Islamic Officials, Islamic Agenda
Muslim elected leaders with deep ties to radical Islamic organizations are prioritizing Islamic identity over American values, steering Paterson away from its historical roots. Every policy change, symbolic gesture, and political appointment moves the city closer to becoming an Islamic enclave.
Hilal Lighting Ceremony: A Symbol of Islamic Dominance
The latest development? The Hilal Lighting Ceremony, a city-endorsed event marking Ramadan, held in the heart of "Little Palestine"--Palestine Way. This was no mere religious event but a thinly veiled political rally for Palestinian nationalism.
Officially renamed in 2022, Palestine Way cements Paterson's transformation into a de facto Palestinian enclave, complete with flags, street signs, and businesses mirroring the very nations many residents supposedly fled. The area is home to an estimated 15,000 Arabs, dominated by Palestinian presence. Main Street, now a mile-and-a-half-long strip lined with Palestinian flags, Arabic signs, and halal restaurants, is more than cultural representation--it is a territorial claim. (Read more) |

2. IDF Deploying Worm-sized Spy Devices in Gaza to Track Hostages, Future Targets: Report - JPost
Israel has recently intensified its intelligence operations, using drones to deploy espionage devices in various areas of the Gaza Strip and collect information on future targets, the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported, citing sources from Palestinian terror factions in Gaza. The report also said that some of these drones are being used to gather intelligence on hostages still held in Gaza.
Other sources from Gaza-based terrorist organizations claimed that the newly deployed surveillance tools released by drones include cameras and other wiretapping devices as small as a worm. These devices, they alleged, are hidden in bags placed in remote areas, cemeteries, and sometimes even in densely populated neighborhoods.
The sources further stated that operatives from terrorist groups have identified and neutralized some of these espionage attempts.
According to the report, Gaza’s security forces have been monitoring these drop sites to determine whether Israeli operatives arrive to collect the devices. This surveillance has reportedly led to the arrest of several Palestinians. (Read more)

- Father God, We thank you for all the ingenious ways that you have given Israel to protect themselves.. May your holy angels be set in place to guard these devices from being seen by the enemy.

3. Americans, Especially Democrats, Becoming Less Sympathetic to Israel, Poll Finds – Prophecy Newswatch
American sympathies regarding the Middle East are sharply shifting against Israel, according to a new Gallup poll.
The poll, which collected responses from Feb. 3-16 and released its findings on Thursday, found that 46 percent of Americans sympathize with Israelis and 33 percent sympathize with Palestinians, reflecting the lowest level of support for the Jewish state in the 25 years of the survey's existence. The Jewish state's previous low-point in the poll stood at 51 percent in 2001.
Moreover, American sympathy toward Palestinians has steadily climbed over the past decade. In 2015, only 15 percent of Americans expressed sympathy with Palestinians over Israelis. By 2023, that number increased to 27 percent.
Democrats and Republicans also hold widely disparate views on Israel and the Palestinians, according to the poll. Approximately 83 percent of Republicans and 33 percent of Democrats currently have a "favorable" view of Israel, representing a staggering 50-point partisan gap.
Though Republican support for Israel has largely remained stable since the start of the ongoing war in Gaza, Democratic support for the Jewish state has collapsed in recent years, dropping 20 points between 2022 and 2025. (Read more) |

4. Why the US Continues to Kill Millions of Hens, 4 Years into Bird Flu Outbreak - The Epoch Times
The United States is entering its fourth year of a near continuous outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza. Despite leadership changes at the country’s top agricultural and public health agencies, the government is continuing the strategy of culling millions of birds to limit the spread of the disease.A senior official who spoke with The Epoch Times said the culling is continuing because there is no better option available.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) refers to the strategy as “stamping out.” The USDA’s effort to stamp out the virus has led to the loss—through culling and disease—of at least 166 million birds since the latest outbreak began in February 2022, according to USDA figures released on March 5. The disease has led to a crisis in the U.S. egg industry.
.
The declining supply of eggs, due to the loss of so many viable egg-laying hens and hens that had not yet reached maturity, has caused the price of eggs to rise to the highest level on record. The high amount of culling and its dramatic effect on the egg supply without an apparent drop in infections is leading to criticism of the culling plan.
Dr. Robert Malone, a vaccine pioneer known for his skepticism of the U.S. public health establishment’s approach to COVID-19, said he agreed with Cardona’s assessment that the disease is becoming endemic. He said the protocol is now needlessly driving up the cost of a staple good and contributing to political tension surrounding inflation. (Read more)

- Father God, this bird flu is a real problem for America. You created the birds. You created everything: the Earth, the heavens and you created us. Nothing is impossible with you! Heal our hens and drive out this bird flew disease among us. food. We pray and ask you to eradicate this disease from the USA, and provide healthy hens to lay eggs for us, so we can be able to purchase eggs again. We praise your holy name and give you all the glory. We love you. Thank you for hearing our cries. In Jesus, precious name. Amen and amen.

5. Senate Democrats Struggle with Funding Dilemma as Shut-Down Deadline Looms – The Hill
Senate Democrats are staring down a major dilemma as they agonize over how to handle the GOP’s stopgap spending bill in the face of a potential government shutdown by the end of the week.
Democrats head toward the Friday deadline trying to reckon with a problem few in the conference fully know how to wrap their arms around: a no-win situation, with every avenue available being equally thorny. They held a second lengthy party luncheon in as many days on Wednesday in search of consensus on the best way out of the morass; they emerged with a plan to insist on a vote on a 30-day continuing resolution (CR) before they would consider voting for Republicans’ six-month plan.
The 30-day CR, however, is almost certainly not viable. And while Senate Democrats said Wednesday they won’t vote to advance Republicans’ bill, pressure on them will only increase. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) sent the House home after the chamber passed the GOP six-month CR mostly along party lines on Tuesday. The House isn’t slated to be back until March 24, leaving Senate Democrats few options beyond eating the GOP’s stopgap measure or allowing the government to shut down.
Neither is palatable to them. (Read more)

Treasury Loses $5 Trillion; Hold You Accountable for Pennies
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, March 13, 2025
While the mainstream news media (translated propagandists for the left) and the Democratic Party (translated modern Marxists) are melting down over President Trump holding the government accountable to the people, a historic level of fraud has been perpetrated by the administrative state. Just recently, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revealed that the Treasury Department cannot account for $4.7 trillion of your tax money. The expenditures were missing a Treasury Account Symbol, a tracking code to verify how the money was spent. This is the same government agency that houses the IRS, which makes each of us justify every single penny of our income under severe penalties.
The media and Democrats are making Elon Musk the issue and essentially ignoring the government fraud that has been exposed at a lightening pace. CNN, for example, is clearly focused on the concept that neither Musk nor his DOGE team should have access to private IRS information. Democrats have shopped around at various courts to find a judge to put a stop to the DOGE investigation. In real terms, the Democrats concerned about access to their private IRS information are likely afraid of what DOGE will reveal. Congresswoman Maxine Waters, (D-CA) said, “the people of this country are being violated because all of our privacy is being taken up by Elon Musk and Trump and we don’t know what all they have on us, our bank accounts, everything in our lives.” Key words: “We don’t know what all they have on us.” Read More

EPA to Roll Back Raft of Climate Regulations, Including EV Rule

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin on March 12 made what he called the “largest deregulatory announcement in U.S. history.”
In a video published by the agency, he said the EPA would take steps to roll back 31 regulations to fulfill President Donald Trump’s “promise to unleash American energy, revitalize our auto industry, restore the rule of law, and give power back to the states.”
Zeldin’s actions presage formal moves to repeal EPA regulations that would exert pressure on Americans to buy low-emission electric vehicles and other significant actions targeting many previously published federal climate and pollution rules. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

We thank You that our government is reviewing EPA regulations and attempting to reign in governmental control and power over our daily lives. We pray that You will bring the wisdom and double edged sword to Zeldon and his aides as they attempt to bring a proper balance between regulations and the lives and options of the American people. We thank You for the earth and all of its amazing beauty, provision and wondrous mysteries. But we especially thank You for creating us, all of humanity, in Your image. Show us the balance, Lord, and thank You that You desire for us to be healthy and to prosper. Holy Spirit, please lead the way!

Rubio pushes back against Mahmoud Khalil defenders: ‘Not about free speech'
|

|
|
Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemns Khalil for supporting Hamas on Columbia campus: 'No one has a right to a green card'
|
|
|
Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the detention and possible deportation of former Columbia University protest organizer Mahmoud Khalil, as critics claim it goes against the First Amendment.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday at Shannon Airport in Ireland, Rubio said that the issue is "not about free speech." Rubio discussed the situation during a refueling stop en route to the G7 Foreign Ministers meeting in Canada after conducting negotiations on the Ukraine war in Saudi Arabia.
A federal judge in Manhattan later Wednesday morning is expected to consider arguments from Khalil's lawyers challenging the Trump administration's revocation of his green card.
"When you come to the United States as a visitor, which is what a visa is – which is how this individual entered this country, on a visitor’s visa – as a visitor, we can deny you that visa," Rubio said. "When you tell us when you apply, ‘Hi, I’m trying to get into the United States on a student visa. I am a big supporter of Hamas, a murderous, barbaric group that kidnaps children, that rapes teenage girls, that takes hostages, that allows them to die in captivity, that returns more bodies than live hostages,’ if you tell us that you are in favor of a group like this and if you tell us when you apply for your visa, ‘and by the way, I intend to come to your country as a student and rile up all kinds of anti-Jewish student, antisemitic activities, I intend to shut down your universities,’ if you told us all these things when you applied for your visa, we would deny your visa. I’d hope we would." (Fox News) Read more here.

- We thank You, Lord, that Sec. of State Rubio appears to have the ‘wisdom of Solomon’ as he works to keep our nation safe, particularly the lives and welfare of our Jewish brothers and sisters. Give him great favor, and continue to bless him with common sense and understanding of the times we are living in. We ask for judges that do not harbor anti-Semitic beliefs that wrongly affect the outcomes of cases brought before them.
We pray for Mahmoud Khalil to have a heart-change—visit him, Lord, with Your truth, love and forgiveness. But we pray, Lord, that until that time You would place him where he cannot disrupt students or cause universities to shut down, where he cannot mentally or physically bring torment and hurt to our Jewish friends and families. Place Khalil where he can do the least amount of damage; may he reap the consequences of his actions.
May those who have supported Kahlil’s behavior, realize their mistakes as well. We pray with our whole hearts that the US continue to be Israel’s ‘best friend’ and that we support our friends both here and abroad. Please bring healing and make good come out of the trauma suffered by Jewish students and families. Restore what the locusts have eaten; may they obtain the education and job placements that You have ordained for them. In Yeshua’s mighty name, AMEN!!!

Judge Orders Trump Administration to Rehire Fired Federal Workers
|
|
|
|
A U.S. federal judge on Thursday ordered six federal agencies to rehire thousands of probationary workers fired as part of Donald Trump’s push to slash the size and scope of government.
The ruling is the latest judicial setback for the administration, coming on the heels of a string of legal defeats that nevertheless seem not to have slowed the pace of change.
Judge William Alsup said the justification of “poor performance” for mass lay-offs last month was “a sham in order to try to avoid statutory requirements,” the New York Times reported.
Ruling on a lawsuit brought by employee unions, Alsup ordered the departments of the Treasury, Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy and Interior to reinstate anyone on probation who was improperly fired.
“It is a sad day when our government would fire some good employee and say it was based on performance when they know good and well that’s a lie,” said Alsup at a hearing at the US District Court in San Francisco. (Breitbart) Read more here.

Volcano near Anchorage, Alaska, could erupt in coming weeks, scientists say

A volcano near Alaska's largest city is showing new signs of unrest, with experts saying the likelihood of an eruption at Mount Spurr in the next few weeks or months has increased.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory said Wednesday it had measured during recent overflights "significantly elevated volcanic gas emissions," and said signs indicated an eruption was likely, though not certain, in the weeks or months ahead.
"We expect to see further increases in seismic activity, gas emissions and surface heating prior to an eruption, if one were to occur," the observatory said in a statement. "Such stronger unrest may provide days to weeks of additional warning."
However, the observatory warned that it was possible that an eruption could happen with little or no warning.
"While we expect additional changes to monitoring data prior to an eruption, it is also possible that an eruption could occur with little or no additional warning," the observatory wrote. "This would be extremely hazardous for recreators on Mount Spurr or near its drainages as well as those overflying the volcano."
