83,000 Christians Taking a Stand Against Satanic Ritual at State Capitol
|
|
|
Something dark is brewing in Kansas . . .
|
|
|
Something dark is brewing in Kansas, but “God-fearing Americans” are rising to meet it with prayer, faith and unwavering conviction. Later this month, The Satanic Grotto plans to hold a “black mass” at the Kansas state Capitol—an event meant to “dedicate the grounds and our legislature to the glory of Satan.” The very thought of it is disturbing, but rather than sit idly by, Christians across the country are taking a stand.
As reported by The Christian Post, TFP Student Action, a group affiliated with the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property, has launched a petition and organized a counterprotest in Topeka on Mar. 28. Their petition has already garnered over 83,000 signatures in an effort to stop what they call a “blasphemous parody of a Catholic Mass.” Jon Paul Fabrizio, a spokesperson for TFP, made it clear that the response has been overwhelming: “This outpouring of support shows that Americans still recognize blasphemy when they see it and are willing to stand up in defense of God’s honor.” This is more than just a political or cultural battle, it is a spiritual one.

- Abba Father, we plead the Blood of the Lamb over the Kansas State Capitol and across our nation! We thank You for revealing this demonic plan and for the 83,000 believers standing against blasphemy planned for Friday, March 28th, in Topeka. We stand in unity with our brothers and sisters and ask for Your Holy Spirit prompting in gathering Christians at the Kansas State Capitol and throughout our nation, joining together in prayer, to rebuke and renounce all plans of the enemy. In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, we declare all intended assignments through this "black mass" are null and void and all evil schemes will fall to the ground! May satanists come to repentance by experiencing the presence of the Lord. We proclaim Jehovah Nissi, the Lord is our Banner, over the State of Kansas and upon the United States of America!
By the Blood and powerful Name of Yeshua-Amen and Amen.
- "And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them." (Isaiah 42:16)

Noem to visit El Salvador prison that took in hundreds of deported criminals: 'Clear message'
|
|
|
Kristi Noem's trip will send an unambiguous message to criminals, DHS says
|
|
|
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is planning to visit several spots in Central America next week – including El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center, where hundreds of migrant criminals were famously deported last week.
On Sunday, DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that Noem's trip "underscores the importance of our partner countries to help remove violent criminal illegal aliens from the United States."
"President Trump and Secretary Noem have a clear message for criminal aliens considering entering America illegally: don’t even think about it," McLaughlin said. "If you come to our country and break our laws, we will hunt you down, and lock you up."
Noem's visit will kick off with a stop at the Terrorist Confinement Center on Mar. 26, which she will tour with the Salvadoran Minister of Justice, Héctor Gustavo Villatoro. The Trump administration official will meet with President Nayib Bukele later that day. (Fox News) Read more here.

- In the name of Jesus we cover Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem in the blood of Jesus as she makes these visits to these facilities that no harm or evil can come against her or her team. We thank you Lord for her leadership and her willingness to do what is right for our country. Continue to empower her with wisdom about how to further protect our country, in Jesus' name, amen.

US deportation flights to Venezuela resume following weeks-long standoff
|
|
|
A deportation flight carrying 199 illegal aliens - including members of the Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang - to Venezuela landed on Sunday
|
|
|
Deportation flights to Venezuela resumed on Sunday after a weeks-long standoff between the Trump administration and the Venezuelan government, signaling a deal had been reached between the two countries.
A flight carrying 199 illegal aliens – including members of the violent Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang – to Venezuela landed Sunday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to Fox News Digital.
The Trump administration has vowed to strike a deal with the Venezuelan government to accept flights carrying deportees from the United States, but has been limited in the regularity of the transfers after President Nicholás Maduro halted the flights earlier this month – with only four flights being received by the Venezuelan government since Trump was sworn into office.
Maduro refused to receive the flights after Trump announced that the U.S. would terminate the Biden-era permit allowing Chevron to export Venezuelan oil, effectively closing off a major revenue source for the country.
However, Venezuelan officials have confirmed that a deal was reached on Saturday.
"Venezuela reports that, within the framework of the Return to the Homeland Plan and with the goal of returning our compatriots to their nation with the safeguarding of their human rights, we have agreed with the U.S. government to resume the repatriation of Venezuelan migrants with an initial flight tomorrow, Sunday, March 23," Jorge Rodríguez, the president of Venezuela's Assembly and chief negotiator with the U.S., said in a statement posted to X by the network Telesur.

- Lord, we pray for Venezuela and the leaders there that they would make wise decisions for their country and their people. We thank you they are choosing to comply with the United States. Help those who are suffering under their socialist regime. We pray for justice for this country, Lord, that all the people would prosper and be taken care of by their leaders. In Jesus' name, amen.
- “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” (Hebrews 4:16)

Hegseth Says Campaign Against Houthis Will be 'Unrelenting' Until Hostilities Cease
|
|
|
During a media interview yesterday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. military will continue to tactically engage Iranian-backed Houthis until they stop acting aggressively against U.S. ships in the region.
Hegseth commented on the topic following President Donald J. Trump's order for U.S. Central Command to launch multiple airstrikes against Houthis in Yemen, March 15, 2025.
"Freedom of navigation is basic; it's a core national interest," Hegseth said, adding that the current campaign is about restoring deterrents in the region in addition to freedom of navigation.
"The minute the Houthis say, 'We'll stop shooting at your ships [and] we'll stop shooting at your drones,' this campaign will end but, until then, it will be unrelenting," he continued.
Hegseth also said the airstrikes were meant to draw Iran's attention.
"The message is clear to Iran … Your support of the Houthis needs to end immediately. We will hold you accountable as the sponsor of this proxy, and I echo [the president's] statement [that] we will not be nice about it," Hegseth said. (DoD News) Read more here.

|
- Lord God, we cover this situation in the Blood of Jesus. We pray, Lord, that the Houthis would comply with the United States' request. We come against all tension, division, and chaos that is trying to create war and destruction, and we break their powers now in Jesus' name. And we pray that our leaders would be wise when making these kinds of decisions, in Jesus' name, amen.
- " ... so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another." (1 Corinthians 12:25)

With the collapse of the ceasefire and renewed fighting in Gaza, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has called for an escalation against the Hamas terrorist group.
“Hamas is stalling for time—this is a strategy, not just a tactic,” Zamir said in security discussions, according to a Channel 12 News report on Monday. “The IDF’s actions are hurting them and causing instability, but they are not leading to the release of hostages. Therefore, we have no choice—we must increase the pressure.”
Meanwhile, the IDF and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) continued expandedmilitary operations in Gaza on Sunday, targeting key Hamas operatives and infrastructure.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir on Monday night rejected claims made by Defense Minister Israel Katz regarding the investigation of Brig.-Gen. (res.) Oron Solomon, calling them "false and entirely baseless."

1. DOJ Explores Criminal Charges Against Ousted USIP Mutineers - The Daily Caller
The Department of Justice is exploring potential criminal charges against former U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) officials who attempted to block the Trump administration’s leadership changes at the federally funded think tank Monday, a senior DOJ official told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The official, who requested anonymity, told the DCNF the DOJ is examining whether certain USIP actions — such as the removal and destruction of internal and external door locks — created illegal fire hazards. The official also flagged the widespread distribution of internal flyers instructing USIP staff not to cooperate with incoming Trump administration officials as potentially obstructive conduct. The DCNF was the first to report on USIP’s internal flyer campaign and destruction of door locks. (Read more)

4. ‘You Need A Pitbull’: House Task Force To Probe Whether CIA Misled Congress On JFK Assassination - The Daily Caller
The House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets will hold its first hearing on the newly released John F. Kennedy files on April 1 and could probe whether the Central Intelligence Agency misled Congress about the assassination, Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida announced Thursday.
In a Zoom meeting with Mary Ferrell Foundation Vice President Jefferson Morley, Luna shared early details about the nascent probe into the failure of the nation’s intelligence agencies, chiefly the Central Intelligence Agency, to prevent the assassination of Kennedy.
“The task force and the transparency this is providing is long overdue,” Luna said. “The reason that you have such an array of theories is because the government was not transparent.”
Morley, a longtime independent investigator of the JFK case and declassification advocate, will serve as an expert witness.
An early priority for the committee is ensuring that all of the records eligible for declassification under President Donald Trump’s Jan. 23 executive order are released. The executive order required the director of national intelligence to present a plan for the release of the John F. Kennedy records within 15 days. (Read more)

5. Cartels’ Advanced Technology a Growing Threat to US - The Epoch Times
South Texas rancher Antonio Céspedes Saldierna, 74, was driving his pickup on his ranch in Mexico when his vehicle ran over an improvised explosive device (IED), detonating it. The force of the explosion flipped his truck onto its side, killing the retiree and his friend inside. A third occupant, his friend’s wife, was hospitalized. Saldierna, a U.S. citizen, immigrated to the United States in the 1970s to pursue the American dream, according to his son, U.S. Army veteran Ramiro Céspedes. He told The Epoch Times that his father, who worked on both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border, was a victim of Mexican cartel terrorism.
Céspedes, a veteran of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, is all too familiar with IEDs. He said IEDs and drones are something fairly new that the cartels are using in their turf wars with rival organizations. “I’ve stated that the way that my father was killed was a terrorist tactic because I saw those tactics in Iraq,” Céspedes said. Céspedes said the cartels have armor-plated vehicles, Kevlar vests, night vision technology, and 50-caliber sniper rifles—equipment every bit as sophisticated as that of the Mexican military.
During his March 4 address to Congress, Trump signaled that he is determined to directly confront the threat that cartels pose to the United States. “The cartels are waging war in America, and it’s time for America to wage war on the cartels,” he said. (Read more)

- Lord, we pray for wisdom about how to stop the cartels and about the new technology that they are using. Grant us wisdom to know how to stop the cartels and their wickedness.

6. Trump suggests US could join British Commonwealth if offered by King Charles - Fox News
President Trump said Friday he liked the idea of the United States joining the British Commonwealth after a report claimed King Charles III would make an offer.
"I love King Charles," Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning while linking to an article citing a Daily Mail report that said the monarch would secretly offer the U.S. associate membership in the Commonwealth during Trump's second state visit to Britain. "Sounds good to me!"
Trump also reposted the same report about the king’s "secret" offer of membership late Saturday morning.
The British Commonwealth, created in 1926, is made up of 56 countries, including Australia and Canada, most of which were originally British colonies. The monarch is the head of the Commonwealth, whose maintenance was a major priority of Queen Elizabeth II. (Read more here)

|
|
- Lord, We pray that this would never happen. Please help President Trump see the danger in yielding our ownsovereignty to that of the British Commonwealth. In 1776, we fought and some gave their lives to achieve our independence from the Crown of England. Let us hold fast to that freedom now. In Your Name, amen and amen!

But a foolish person swallows it up." (Proverbs 21:20)

Tabernacle of the Heart
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, March 24, 2025
We often hear preachers panning for money. Give to our ministry and you will be blessed. There are cliché’s like “You can’t out give God.” Or trying to tithe giving to scripture, like “give $133 because Psalm 133 says we will dwell together in unity, so you are giving according to scripture.” Nine ways to Sunday, many are guilting people to give. Others try to compel you to give. I remember a ministry that required its staff to give a minimum of 10 percent, otherwise they would be removed from the ministry. There are a lot of money mongers in ministry. Just saying. But what does God want of your giving? God tells us through His example as far back as in building the Tabernacle in the time of Moses.
Before construction could start, many materials were needed for the building of the Tabernacle. The people generously provided these materials. Exodus 35:1 tells us that Moses assembled the whole community of the people of Israel, and said, “Take up a collection for the LORD from among yourselves—anyone whose heart makes him willing is to bring the offering for the LORD…” We are to give from the heart. The Bible tell us that the people gave all that was needed to build the Tabernacle, even to the point that Moses had to give an order to stop because they were giving too much (Exodus 36:4-7). The giving from the heart was one lesson, but yet another deeper and very powerful lesson was to come. Read More

State of emergency declared as wildfires rage out of control in the Carolinas
|
|
|
Hundreds of firefighters converged on a rural North Carolina county Monday to battle at least three blazes that have scorched almost 8 square miles, destroyed at least three homes and multiple other buildings and forced mandatory evacuations.
The fires come as much of western North Carolina remains in recovery mode from horrific flooding driven by Hurricane Helene six months ago.
The two largest fires had burned more than 7 square miles in Polk County and were 0% contained late Sunday, the state Forest Service said. Both have been burning since Wednesday.
In recent weeks, large sections of North Carolina and South Carolina have been designated an "elevated fire risk" by the National Weather Service because of high winds, low humidity and a dearth of rainfall.
"Many areas across the state have seen fires this weekend. A statewide burning ban (is) in place. Do not burn outdoors at all!" the state emergency management agency warned in a social media post. Earlier the agency had urged people to quickly leave evacuation zones, saying visibility in those areas could be reduced, evacuation blocked − and residents "trapped, injured, or killed." Read More
