‘A new low’: Biden admin eviscerated for response to 'Butcher of Tehran' Raisi's death
|
|
|
US State Department offered 'condolences' after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran
|
|
|
Top House Republicans are coming down hard on the Biden administration for expressing condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, whose ruthless ways earned him the nickname "Butcher of Tehran."
"It is absurd that the Biden administration touted their support for human rights while, in the same breath, offering official condolences for the ‘Butcher of Tehran.’ Clearly, the Democrat Party of today has become the pro-terrorist party," House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital.
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., called the State Department’s message "unacceptable, unnecessary, and outrageous."
"Biden’s State Department expressing condolences for the death of a brutal and monstrous enemy of America who tortured and killed his own people and led the charge to fund terrorist proxies around the world that have killed American soldiers is a new low for Joe Biden," Stefanik wrote in a Tuesday morning statement.
"Sec. Blinken’s weak leadership and eagerness to appease the hostile Iranian regime reflects Biden’s policy of rolling over for our nation's adversaries." (Fox News) Read more

- Holy One, this was definitely a tragedy that all these people were killed in the helicopter crash. We pray that any one among them who may have known You might have spoken of You. While unlikely, we pray for this matter to result in changes for the better in Iran. We pray for the believers to continue growing and hearing the word of God in this nation, in Jesus' name, and we call the leadership to turn from its wicked ways and get itself a new heart.
- "'Perhaps everyone will listen and turn from his evil way, that I may relent concerning the calamity which I purpose to bring on them because of the evil of their doings.'" (Jeremiah 26:3)

Democrats warned by New Yorkers as Trump preps for NYC rally near AOC's district: 'We are awakening'

|
Bronx resident says Dems 'gaslighting' New Yorkers about crime, economy
|
|
|
Democrats are "dropping the ball" with Black voters ahead of November as former President Trump prepares to rally thousands of supporters just blocks away from AOC's deep-blue district, one New York resident argued.
Lou Valentino accused Democrats of "gaslighting" Black voters on issues like crime and the economy during "Fox & Friends," as Biden's approval among the critical voting bloc continues to slide.
"I think the Democrats have been dropping the ball," Valentino told Lawrence Jones on Monday. "You see crime, you see a woman being dragged, with a belt. You see all types of stuff happening in the Bronx, and they're just gaslighting it, acting like it's not happening. So I just think it's the perfect opportunity for people to speak up."
"A lot of bad things are happening. A lot of people can't afford groceries," he continued. "And Trump is speaking to those people in those barbershops or people that just can't afford this lifestyle that they had probably four to five years ago. So this is just a, I think… once in a lifetime opportunity."
Trump’s campaign announced that Thursday’s rally will take place at 6 p.m. in Crotona Park, a 127-acre public park just blocks away from the boundary line of Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district.
The campaign has a permit to fit 3,500 people into the space, The New York Post reported, as he sets his sights on flipping the Empire State red this November, a situation that would have been unfathomable in 2021 when he departed the White House.
"I think this is an opportunity Republicans should not let go," Valentino said. "Throughout the years, I've never heard of a Republican going to the Bronx, so seeing Trump make the effort with everything going on, what is the excuses for Republicans and conservatives?" (Fox News) Read more here.

- Glory to God that our strong and courageous New York President is just bold enough to head into the heart of New York with a plan and a purpose to wake up the people and let truth about this nation's state of affairs run in the streets. May each of his events be very successful in drawing former naysayers to listen and consider what he says. We pray for a turn-around in New York that causes shockwaves and may there be many Republican candidates who gain traction in the coming elections, in Jesus' name.

Heat, humidity torment Texas as thousands remain without power after destructive derecho
|
|
|
The Houston area is forecast to see temperatures in the 90s, with heat indices around 100 degrees. Even though it'll be hot, Houston will at least miss out on the worst heat, which will impact much of West and South Texas.
|
|
HOUSTON – Hundreds of thousands remain without power in Texas after last week's devastating derecho as the heat and humidity intensify across the region.
The death toll from the storms has increased to at least eight. Restoration work quickly began to bring power back to the more than one million affected customers. As of Tuesday morning, more than 145,000 customers remained in the dark around Houston, according to PowerOutage.us.
According to Harris County Executive Judge Lina Hidalgo, it could be weeks before some people's power is restored, as 10 energy transmission lines are down.
The triple-digit feels-like temperatures now pose a growing risk for those without air conditioning. This comes after one of last week's storm victims died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Some people have been using generators to stay cool and run their AC.
CenterPoint Energy spokeswoman Alyssia Oshodi told FOX Weather that crews are working around the clock to restore power to their customers, which peaked at more than 922,000 after the storms passed.
"We saw significant damage from these storms. What is taking a significant amount of time is the amount of vegetation," Oshodi said. "A lot of the harder-hit areas of our service territory we are coming across where not just tree limbs but entire trees have come down on top of our lines, taking down poles." (Fox) Read more here.

- Father God, we thank you that, with you, all things are possible. We ask that You lessen the triple-digit heat in Texas and grace these workers with unusual strength as they seek to restore power to the 145,000 customers who are now suffering without air conditioning in this heat. In Your Name, Abba, we ask this prayer. amen and amen.
- "Nothing is too difficult for Thee!" (Jeremiah 32:17)

New York Judge Reveals When Trump Trial
Will Likely End
|
|
|
The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial said that closing arguments in the case probably will be made next week.
He also ruled that a proposed defense expert cannot give his opinion on election law when he testifies.
Judge Juan Merchan suggested on May 20 that the trial is taking longer than previously expected, adding that the closing arguments are likely to be made on May 28, the day after the Memorial Day holiday. It means that the jury is not likely to make a decision until the seventh week of the trial.
“It was either have a long break now or have a long break then, and unfortunately the calendar is what it is,” Judge Merchan said, referring to the holiday weekend. “It’s become apparent that we are not going to be able to sum up tomorrow.”
Court will be adjourned on Wednesday, May 22, which is the normal day off for the trial each week. It will also be adjourned this Friday and on May 27. (Epoch Times) Read more here.

- Holy One, we pray that between now and then, President Trump takes New York by storm and the spiritual atmosphere will surround the jurors with truth and righteousness in the name of Jesus. We also pray for a burning conscience for each member of the jury so they stand for justice. We see what appears to be a lack of Constitutional justice in that courtroom wherein the judge has refused to allow President Trump to call his own witnesses, so we call for failure to this court case, in Jesus' name.
- "Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth shall spring out of the earth, And righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yes, the Lord shall give what is good; And our land will yield its increase, Righteousness will go before Him, And shall make His footsteps our pathway." (Psalm 85:10-13)

1. Israel calls on ‘civilised nations’ to boycott ICC arrest warrants against its leaders - The Guardian
Israel has urged what it called “nations of the civilised world” to refuse to implement any international criminal court arrest warrants issued against its leaders.
Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the world’s top court, announced on Monday that his office had applied to a pre-trial panel for arrest warrants for three senior Hamas officials, as well as the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his defence minister, Yoav Gallant, for war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Hamas attack of 7 October and the ensuing seven-month-old war in Gaza.
What was widely interpreted in Israel as an equivalence between the named leaders of the Islamist group – Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’s chief in Gaza, Mohammed Deif, the commander of its military wing, and Qatar-based Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the political bureau – and democratically elected Israeli politicians was met with outrage by Israeli officials, the public, and the country’s allies.

2. ‘Appalling’ – European leaders blast ICC’s ‘unacceptable’ comparison of Israel and Hamas - World Israel News
European leaders criticized the International Criminal Court at The Hague and condemned the decision by its chief prosecutor Karim Khan to issue arrest warrants for two senior Israeli leaders over their handling of the war in Gaza.
On Monday, Khan revealed to CNN that his office had decided to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (Likud), along with warrants for three top Hamas leaders.
French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne rejected the “equivalence” between Hamas and Israel implied by the decision.
“These simultaneous requests for arrest warrants should not create an equivalence between Hamas and Israel,” Sejourne told French parliamentarians Tuesday. (Read more)

3. Netanyahu to CNN: Israel has no intention of resettling the Gaza Strip - Israel National News
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday that Israel has no intention of resettling the Gaza Strip after the current war, and that the goal remains ousting Hamas from power.
"I have a very clear plan," Netanyahu said, adding, "The day after Hamas is the day after Hamas. We have to get rid of Hamas. Rafah is the last stronghold that ends the intense part of the fighting. If you mean resettling Gaza, it was never in the cards. Some of my constituents aren't happy but that's my position." (Read more)

4. Nearly 70% of Gaza aid from US-built pier stolen - JNS
Close to three-fourths of the humanitarian aid transported from a new $320 million floating pier built by the U.S. military off the Gaza coast was stolen on Saturday en route to a U.N. warehouse, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Eleven trucks “were cleaned out by Palestinians” on the journey to the World Food Programme warehouse in Deir El Balah in the central Strip, with only five truckloads making it to the destination.
“They’ve not seen trucks for a while,” a U.N. official told Reuters. “They just basically mounted on the trucks and helped themselves to some of the food parcels.”
According to the United Nations, no aid was delivered to the warehouse from the U.S. military’s pier on Sunday and Monday. (Read more)

5. Herzog: Normalization with Saudi Arabia a ‘game-changer’ -JNS
Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Tuesday said that normalization with Saudi Arabia is a real possibility, adding that such an eventuality would be a “game-changer” for the region.
Speaking at a conference in Jerusalem, Herzog said, “Two days ago, I met with the U.S. National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, and heard from him what was officially announced yesterday—that there is an option for normalization with Saudi Arabia. This is a move that could bring about tremendous change, a historic ‘game-changer’ that constitutes a victory over the empire of evil.”
This same “empire of evil sought on Oct. 7 to destroy the chance for normalization,” he said. “Our struggle, in the end, is not only a fight against Hamas. It is a wider, strategic, global, and historic battle, and we must do everything to integrate into the grand vision of normalization,” he added. (Read more)

1. FBI Was Prepared to Use 'Deadly Force' at Mar-a-Lago Raid - Newsweek
A new court filing unsealed Tuesday provides a behind-the-scenes look at how federal agents prepared for and executed the raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022, including "deadly force" being within the mission's guidelines.
An "operations order" of the 9 a.m. raid that was produced in discovery contained a "policy statement" regarding the "use of deadly force," which said in part: "Law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force when necessary."
Agents at the scene of the raid, who were instructed to wear unmarked polo or collared shirts, had planned to bring "standard issue weapons, ammo, handcuffs and medium and large sized bolt cutters."
A contingencies plan was also created in cohesion with the raid, showing that a paramedic be at the scene in case someone is "injured." The name of the nearest local trauma center, complete with an address and a phone number, was included on the same form.
Contingencies also said that agents "will be prepared to engage with" Trump and U.S. Secret Service should he have arrived at Mar-a-Lago. (Read more)

- Mighty God, we pray for criminal consequences to be brought upon this evil plan by the DOJ and FBI and who knows who else. As a nation, we cannot countenance one branch of government willing to take up arms against the opposing side and we ask You Father, for a mighty intervention upon these actors and agents, in Jesus name. We declare continued angelic protection over the life of President Trump and his family which was and is still being threatened by the highest level of the democrat party and their spiritual operatives. We erect a wall of fire around all those who are working for righteousness and justice and may Godly boundaries of morality stand firm and fast in this covenant nation against every threat against it, in Jesus Holy Name and by the shed blood of the Lamb of God. Amen.

Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you." (Isaiah 59:21-60:2)

2. Assange wins right to challenge US extradition - BBC
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange can bring a new appeal against extradition to the US, the High Court has ruled. He was granted permission to appeal against the order that he be sent to the US to stand trial for leaking military secrets.
The decision means Mr Assange will be able to challenge US assurances over how his prospective trial would be conducted and whether his right to free speech would be infringed.
The 52-year-old’s lawyers hugged each other in court after the latest ruling in the legal saga. They have argued that the case against him - relating to the release of highly classified documents almost 15 years ago about alleged US war crimes - is politically motivated.
The US argues that the Wikileaks files - which disclosed information about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars - endangered lives.
In a short ruling on Monday morning, two senior judges granted him permission to appeal against an earlier order allowing his extradition to the US. They ruled that he needs to be given a full appeal in the UK. (Read more)

- Father, we pray for justice for Julian Assange. This is a very complicated and drawn-out case and we pray that the Constitution is applied equally on his behalf, in Jesus name. May this case be fair and may he have honorable representation. We also lift up his safety and security, as he returns to the US for trial, in Jesus name.

3. Trump’s Former Attorney John Eastman Arrested in Phoenix over His 2020 Election Legal Work - The Arizona Sun Times
Former President Donald Trump’s former attorney and constitutional legal scholar, John Eastman, was arrested, booked, and arraigned Friday in Phoenix over his role in the 2020 election. Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes brought charges and secured indictments in April against him, Arizona’s alternate Republican slate of electors, and a few others, including Rudy Giuliani and Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator.
Eastman, who voluntarily surrendered to arrest, pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, fraud, forgery, and related felony charges. The indictment, which was initially released without his name and a few of the others since they had not been served yet, accused him of pressuring the Arizona Legislature to “change the results of the election.” It said he “encouraged the Republican electors to vote on December 14, 2020, and spread false claims of widespread election fraud.”
Additionally, it said he attempted to convince Vice President Mike Pence to “reject or at least delay the confirmation of the lawfully chosen electors.” Eastman provided a statement outside the courthouse after the arraignment. “These charges should’ve never been brought. I pled not guilty. (Read more)

We pray that justice would be done and all these people, if truly innocent, would be exonerated, in Jesus name, amen.

4. Fani Willis suffers new blow as Georgia court allows Donald Trump's appeal to remove the Fulton County DA from his election fraud case - The Daily Mail
The Georgia Court of Appeals has given a green light to Donald Trump's case to remove Fani Willis from his election fraud trial in the latest blow to the Fulton County DA. Willis has courted controversy while prosecuting the county's election interference case against Trump after it was revealed she had a past relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
She escaped with just a slap on the wrist after Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dramatically ruled she could stay on the Trump election interference case if Wade removed himself.
Trump and eight of his co-defendants charged in the Georgia state court have since urged the appeals court to overturn McAfee's March ruling. Now the court has given Trump's appeal the green light to go ahead, but there is not yet a set timeline for when the case will be heard. (Read more)

- Thank You Father, for turning around this ignoble court case brought against President Trump and others. We are grateful the Appeals Court has ruled and we pray for the next prosecutor to be unable to make sense of the pieces because they are so scrambled and chaotic with no order or foundation, in Jesus name. May it cause this entire prosecution to completely collapse, in Jesus name.

5. A Fuming Judge Merchan Runs Interference for Bragg, Shouts at Trump Defense Witness Robert Costello - The Gateway Pundit
President Trump was back in a Manhattan court on Monday in Alvin Bragg’s Soviet-style ‘hush money’ lawfare trial. The prosecutors earlier Monday rolled out their ‘star witness’ Michael Cohen, a convicted perjurer, to take the witness stand. Cohen shocked the public when he admitted he stole tens of thousands of dollars from Trump and lied to Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg.
After the prosecution rested their case, Trump’s defense team called attorney Robert Costello to the witness stand. Recall that Robert Costello previously blasted Michael Cohen as a “convicted perjurer” and said Bragg’s prosecutors cherry-picked emails.
Merchan grows irate, begins EXCORIATING Robert Costello on the stand for making a few off-handed remarks and rolling his eyes during the testimony. (Read more)

6. Gas prices will be temporarily slashed to ‘pre-Biden’ levels in nationwide event at 25 locations - DML News
From Fox Business: An influential, fiscally conservative and libertarian political advocacy group will work with gas stations across the country this week to remind Americans what the price at the pump was four years ago.
On Monday, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) will host the first of a series of events that will roll back gas prices from coast to coast “to get a pre-Bidenomics break at the pump.” More than 20 gas stations will participate throughout this week, temporarily reducing prices to as low as $2.38 per gallon – near the average price per gallon of gas on the day President Biden assumed office. In a press releaseon Monday, AFP announced:
Bidenomics is not working. We all know it. Every time Americans buy groceries, pay their bills, or fill their tank, we all feel the pinch of President Biden’s failed economic policies.
Under Biden’s watch, the national average price of gas went from $2.38 to $3.59 a gallon. At AFP, we are partnering with local gas stations across the country to roll back the price of gas to $2.38 to bring some relief to Americans ahead of the unofficial start of summer. (Read more)

7. Bombshell messages reveal Anthony Fauci’s top advisor bragging about making emails ‘disappear’ - DML News
During a congressional hearing last Thursday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer read aloud some shocking emails from Dr. David Morens, who served as a top advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci from 1998 through 2022.
In the emails, Morens bragged that he had learned “how to make emails disappear” and how to never be caught with “smoking guns.”
The hearing on Thursday was part of an investigation into the origins of Covid, and the theory that it came from a leak in a Chinese lab. From the Daily Mail: Morens, who works at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), wrote about deleting his communications to avoid turning them over to the public under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
He was writing to Peter Daszak, whose organization EcoHealth Alliance had its federal funding suspended this week for its role in contracting controversial coronavirus research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. (Read more)

8. Biden’s DOJ threatens another GOP state with lawsuit over anti-illegal immigration efforts - DML News
The Biden administration is threatening to sue yet another Republican-led state over its efforts to crack down on illegal immigration — after suing two other states over their respective anti-illegal immigration bills.
The Department of Justice has written to Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and Attorney General Gentner Drummond about HB 4156 — legislation that makes it a state crime to be in the state illegally and gives local law enforcement the ability to arrest illegal immigrants, and require them to leave the state within 72 hours following conviction or release from custody.
The law was signed by Stitt this month and is due to go into force on July 1. It is similar to laws passed and signed into law in Iowa and Texas — and those laws have subsequently both been hit by lawsuits from the DOJ, which argues that it infringes on federal authority over immigration law and enforcement. The Texas law is currently on hold amid the ongoing lawsuit there. (Read more)

Biden And WHO Lie And People Will Die
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, May 21, 2024
On May 10, the World Health Organization (WHO) posted a news release saying that “Governments of world today agreed to continue working on a proposed pandemic agreement, and to further refine the draft, ahead of the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly that starts 27, May 2024.” Meantime, the United Kingdom said it would not support the agreement, largely because it mandates “richer nations” to share 20 percent of their vaccines and treatments with “poorer” countries. WHO is scrambling to get the nations in agreement with its sovereignty-busting accord and outside of the press release WHO is not commenting on the agreements because, as Reuters reports, “no proposals have been agreed.”
This smacks of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi’s comments prior to passing socialized healthcare in America—“We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.” The fog of the controversy is created by the gaslighting of the world that allowing WHO to direct pandemic decisions is a deadly game. WHO continues to fear monger by bringing up COVID and how it handled the pandemic. Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, said in the release, “During more than two years of intensive negotiations, WHO’s Member States have shown unwavering commitment to forging a generational agreement to protect the world from a repeat of the horrors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.” Read More

World Economic Forum Founder Klaus Schwab To Step Back From Executive Role
|
|
|
|
Arch-globalist and head of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab has reportedly informed staff that he will be stepping down as WEF executive chairman.
The 86-year-old self-appointed Sultan of Davos sent an email to staff on Tuesday announcing that he will no longer run the world’s most prominent globalist advocacy group although he will likely stay on in some non-executive role, the website Semafor claimed.
A WEF spokesman told the website that the Forum will be changing its governance structure and that as a result, Schwab “will transition from Executive Chairman to Chairman of the Board of Trustees” by the start of next year.
Although Schwab has not officially named a successor, the Financial Times reported that former Norwegian Foreign Minister and current WEF President Børge Brende will take over the top job in Davos.
Last year, the POLITICO website reported that, according to 29 WEF insiders, Schwab is treating the organisation like a “family heirloom”, indicating that Schwab may have sought to appoint one of his two children, Nicole and Olivier — both of whom already serve in high-ranking positions within the WEF — as a next executive.
The final decision will reportedly need to be cleared by the government of Switzerland, which hosts the group’s annual Davos meeting. The reported move by Schwab to step down from his leadership role in the group comes despite his previous claims that he wanted to stay in power and run the WEF for decades to come.

ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant and 3 Hamas leaders
(Khan an Ahmadiyya Muslim)
|
|
|
In an unprecedented and hugely controversial development, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Kahn, said Monday that he had requested arrest warrants from the court’s judges for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, along with top Hamas leaders.
Kahn said that the charges against Israel’s premier and defense chief are for the crimes of “causing extermination, causing starvation as a method of war including the denial of humanitarian relief supplies, deliberately targeting civilians in conflict.”
“We submit that the crimes against humanity charged were committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the Palestinian civilian population pursuant to State policy. These crimes, in our assessment, continue to this day,” said Khan in reference to Netanyahu and Gallant. (Times of Israel) Read more.

Biden calls ICC prosecutor’s decision to seek arrest warrant for Netanyahu ‘outrageous’
|
|
|
|
Israel’s closest allies on Monday criticized the decision of International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan to seek arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant alongside three leaders of the Hamas terrorist organization.
US President Joe Biden called the decision “outrageous.”
“Let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas,” Biden said in a statement. “We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.”
In his own statement, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the Biden administration “fundamentally rejects” Khan’s decision and questioned the legitimacy and credibility of his investigation, noting that the prosecutor had been set to visit Israel shortly to hear its arguments but instead went on TV to announce the charges.
“We reject the prosecutor’s equivalence of Israel with Hamas. It is shameful. Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization that carried out the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and is still holding dozens of innocent people hostage, including Americans,” Blinken said.

- Lord God, for once we AGREE with this statement by Biden - that the release of these arrest warrants by the ICC against 2 of Israel's top officials is "outrageous." We ask for a quick and speedy resolution of this travesty, and that the friendship between America and its closest ally in the Middle East, Israel, remain intact now and in the days to come. Amen.
- "But let justice run down like water,
And righteousness like a mighty stream."

He shall prevail against His enemies."

How NASA Tracked the Most Intense
Solar Storm in Decades
|
|
|
There are some AMAZING Videos on the NASA's website!
May 2024 has already proven to be a particularly stormy month for our Sun. During the first full week of May, a barrage of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched clouds of charged particles and magnetic fields toward Earth, creating the strongest solar storm to reach Earth in two decades — and possibly one of the strongest displays of auroras on record in the past 500 years.
The first signs of the solar storm started late on May 7 with two strong solar flares. From May 7 – 11, multiple strong solar flares and at least seven CMEs stormed toward Earth. Eight of the flares in this period were the most powerful type, known as X-class, with the strongest peaking with a rating of X5.8. (Since then, the same solar region has released many more large flares, including an X8.7 flare — the most powerful flare seen this solar cycle — on May 14.) Read More

‘Over 12,000’—Sean Feucht, Saddleback Church, Zoe Church
Participate in ‘Largest Synchronized Baptism in History’
|
|
Over the weekend and on Pentecost Sunday (May 19), more than 12,000 people were baptized across the state of California through a movement called “Baptize California.” According to its website, Baptize California is a “statewide movement of water baptisms on Pentecost Sunday, 2024. It unites local churches under a part of theology we can all agree on, which is the public profession of faith through water baptism.” Pentecost Sunday commemorates when the Holy Spirit was first poured out on the church in Acts 2:1-4. The day is recognized in many Christian churches throughout the world. Baptize California’s Mark Francey, who is also the pastor at Oceans Church in Irvine, California, told CBN News Digital’s Billy Hallowell earlier this month that he is excited about uniting churches in California. “There will be hundreds of hosting churches with some of the largest churches in the state, from Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Charismatic, and everyone in between” uniting for the event, Francey said.
Among the churches that participated were Saddleback Church, Sandals Church, Zoe Church, Restoration Life Church, Higher Vision Church, and VIVE Church. Bethel Music, Martin Smith (Delirious?), SEU Worship, Bodie (“The Voice” Season 22), ISLY, Bryan and Kate Torwalt, Circuit Riders, Ryan Ellis, Cecily, Ocean’s Music, Alexander Pappas, and Sean Feucht (Let Us Worship) performed at a two-day event, which took place at Huntington Beach. “What a historic weekend for our state and our nation,” Feucht told ChurchLeaders. “Yesterday, I was a part of the largest synchronized baptism recorded in the history of the world. We had over 12,000 people. The numbers are still coming in,” he added. “But over 12,000 verified people baptized on the same day in the same state—over 6,000 in Huntington Beach where I was.” (Church Leaders) Read More and Baptize California Video Here.

"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."

Jesus Paid it All
To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE
Words: Elvina Hall
Music: John Grape
Scripture: Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow. Isaiah 1:18
Lyrics:
I hear the Savior say,
Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.
Refrain
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim,
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.
Refrain
And now complete in Him
My robe His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side,
I am divinely blest.
Refrain
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.
Refrain
When from my dying bed
My ransomed soul shall rise,
Jesus died my soul to save,
Shall rend the vaulted skies.
Refrain
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down
All down at Jesus’ feet.
Refrain
