Foreign Minister Yair Lapid met Monday with US Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley, who is visiting the region.
According to Ynet, Lapid told Malley that Iran has no intention of returning to the 2015 nuclear agreement and is merely using the negotiations with western powers in Vienna to buy time to further its nuclear program.
Lapid also told Malley that the 2015 deal is no longer relevant due to Iran's violations of the deal as well as the approaching sunset provisions which lift restrictions on Iran's nuclear program. (Read more)

4. Iran buying property at strategic locations in Syria to create bases - World Israel News
Representatives of the radical Shiite axis headed by Iran are purchasing real estate and are investing in the Damascus region, as part of their drive to cement their presence in the country, the Alma Research and Education Center reported.
Alma Center said that there has been a concentration of land acquisition efforts near Damascus International Airport and along the highway leading to it from the city. The areas where land was purchased are al-Malihah, Shebaa, Deir al-Asafir, and Hutaytet al-Turkman.
“Iran aims to create a foothold in strategic places such as border crossings and major airports, enabling it to create a continuous and secure land and air corridor from Iran to Syria and from there to Lebanon and Hezbollah,” the report said.
For Iran, control of the Albukamal border crossing with Iraq and control of Damascus airport and its environs are necessary to create a land bridge between Iran and Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea. (Read more)

5. US to Partner With Israel to Combat Ransomware Attacks - Algemeiner
The US Treasury Department said on Sunday it will partner with Israel to combat ransomware, with the two countries launching a joint task force to address cybersecurity.
The task force will develop a memorandum of understanding supporting information sharing related to the financial sector, including cybersecurity regulations and threat intelligence, the Treasury Department said.
The announcement follows a virtual meeting on ransomware that held at the White House in October with the European Union and more than 30 countries, including Israel.
Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo asked then for international cooperation to address the abuse of virtual currency and disrupt the ransomware business model. (Read more)

1.Houthi Rebels Storm U.S. Embassy in Yemen, Take Hostages (msn.com)
Houthi rebels have stormed the American embassy in Yemen and taken hostages, the Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday.
State Department officials told the Free Beacon that “the majority of the detained have been released, but the Houthis continue to detain additional Yemeni employees of the embassy.”
Houthi fighters reportedly took the compound on Wednesday, demanding “large quantities of equipment and materials,” per the Middle East Media Research Institute. Yemen has been embroiled in a brutal civil war between the Houthi rebels — who are backed, financed, and armed by the Iranian government —and the standing Yemeni government, which has the support of Saudi Arabia. The conflict is oftentimes described as a “proxy war” being fought by the two Yemeni sides on the ground, but largely on behalf of the two larger powers.
Within a month of taking office, President Joe Biden removed the foreign-terrorist organization designation placed on the the Houthis by the Trump administration. The designation had cut the Houthis “off from financial support and other material resources that are routed through U.S. banks or other American institutions.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the decision “a recognition of the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen.”
- Lord, we pray that You will rescue the hostages who are still missing, return the stolen property, and bring conviction to the hearts of the terrorists. Bring glory to Your name in a region that does not know You!
- “Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.” (Psalm 2:8)

2.Florida School District Finally Drops Mask Mandate After 8-Year-Old Gets Suspended 38 Times For Refusing To Comply | The Daily Wire
A Florida school district has finally dropped its student mask mandate, following the very public journey of an 8-year-old girl who was suspended a stunning 38 times for refusing to comply with the order.
Notably, the mandate defied Republican Governor Ron DeSantis’ executive order giving Florida parents ultimate control over their kids’ masking habits, not administrators.
The district mask order was repealed on November 8, following a ruling from Division of Administrative Hearings Judge Newman which declared the Department of Health’s Emergency Rule 64DER21-15 valid.
“Based on a new development at the State level, the School District will be moving to an opt-out status for facial coverings for students in all grade levels beginning this Monday, November 8, rather than on November 15 as you were originally informed,” the Palm Beach County school district told parents on November 6. “A ruling yesterday by Division of Administrative Hearings Judge Newman found the Department of Health’s Emergency Rule 64DER21-15 to be valid, therefore, a parent face covering opt-out will be reinstated effective Monday.”
- Lord, we thank you for this little girl standing strong against the constant pressure, and now others will benefit. We pray for You to touch her with Your love and power as she continues forward in life.
- “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)

3.Biden announces Califf as pick to lead FDA | TheHill
Biden on Friday tapped former Obama administration official and Duke University professor Robert Califf to lead the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The Califf pick comes after a months-long delay in selecting an FDA commissioner, which drew some criticism given the agency’s role in helping fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Califf is a familiar face, having led the agency at the end of the Obama administration.
"Dr. Robert Califf is one of the most experienced clinical trialists in the country, and has the experience and expertise to lead the Food and Drug Administration during a critical time in our nation’s fight to put an end to the coronavirus pandemic," Biden said in a statement. "As the FDA considers many consequential decisions around vaccine approvals and more, it is mission critical that we have a steady, independent hand to guide the FDA…
A few Democrats did previously raise concerns about his ties to the pharmaceutical industry, as well as whether the FDA was doing enough to fight the opioid epidemic. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Friday issued a statement opposing the pick moments before it was officially announced, citing concerns about Califf's ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
- Lord, this man has extremely close ties to the pharmaceutical industry. We ask that You weigh his heart and his thoughts and decide whether he should be in the position of leading the Food and Drug Administration. If not, then we pray that his nomination will not go forward.
- “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.” (Jeremiah 17:10)

4.Police investigate Arizona school board 'dossier' on parents (nypost.com)
Police have launched an investigation into claims an Arizona school board president kept a dossier on some outspoken parents who oppose mask mandates and critical race theory.
Scottsdale Police Department said Saturday it was aware of the allegations leveled against Scottsdale Unified School District President Jann-Michael Greenburg.
“We are conducting an investigation into the matter and will report our findings once it is complete,” police said in a brief statement.
The allegations came to light after Superintendent Scott Menzel revealed Friday that Greenburg, who is a business executive and attorney, had accidentally shared the Google drive folder on certain parents.
- Lord, we pray that You will remove any school board member in any state that seeks to destroy parents right to choose what’s best for their children.
- “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 18:10)

5. Metallurgist admits faking steel test results for US Navy subs - BBC News
A metallurgist in the US state of Washington has pleaded guilty to fraud after she spent decades faking the results of strength tests on steel that was being used to make Navy submarines.
Prosecutors say Elaine Marie Thomas, 67, gave false positive readings for strength and toughness tests in at least 240 cases between 1985 and 2017.
Authorities did not disclose which vessels were affected.
But there was no indication that any submarine hulls had failed.
Ms Thomas, of Auburn, Washington, was the director of metallurgy at a foundry in Tacoma that supplied steel castings used by Navy contractors to make submarine hulls, the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington said in a statement.
- Lord, we are grieved at the lies from this situation that could easily have harmed our Sailors. We pray for this woman’s soul that You would bring conviction of sin to her heart and repentance to be saved.
- “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.” (John 6:44a)

6.Missouri Utility Warns Of Blackouts As Biden Administration Considers Shutting Pipeline | The Daily Caller
An upcoming Biden administration decision on a key pipeline could lead to widespread blackouts, Missouri-based power company Spire Energy warned in an email to customers.
The natural gas company, which serves 1.7 million homes throughout Missouri, Alabama and Mississippi, emailed customers Wednesday that a federal review of the STL Pipeline could jeopardize their energy supply. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will discuss revoking the pipeline’s permit during a Nov. 18 hearing.
“The STL Pipeline was built to support your energy needs, along with those of more than 650,000 homes and businesses in the St. Louis region,” Spire President Scott Carter wrote in the email. “Since 2019, this safe, fully operational pipeline has been bringing even more reliable and affordable natural gas to our community.”
- Lord, we take authority over this agenda to destroy all pipelines in the US and we bind it tightly. We ask that you break in pieces every agenda to destroy us, especially as winter comes and people need heat to survive.
- “Break off their fangs, O God! Smash the jaws of these lions, O Lord! May they disappear like water into thirsty ground. Make their weapons useless in their hands.” (Psalm 58:6-7)

7.Top Obama Economist: ‘Quite Unlikely That Inflation Will Recede Back To Its Normal’ Rate | The Daily Wire
Larry Summers, who served as Treasury Secretary under former President Bill Clinton and director of the National Economic Council under former President Barack Obama, warned during a CNN interview late last week that it was unlikely that inflation rates would return to normal any time in the near future.
“Given that you were worried about this before almost anybody else, and given that now you have got all these CEOs saying it’s going to go a year, maybe even past that, right, at that point, it wouldn’t be transitory,” CNN host Erin Burnett said. “How long do you think inflation is going to go up?”
“I think the odds are that we’re going to have inflation of a kind we haven’t seen in 30 years, until either the Fed takes some significant move with respect to monetary policy, or until there’s some kind of accident that disrupts the economic growth we’re enjoying,” Summers responded. “I think it’s possible but quite unlikely that inflation will recede back to its normal 2 percent level without some significant change in the path we’re now — we’re now on. I think the Fed has made a significant mistake in the approach that it’s taking by doubling down on the massive fiscal stimulus we had at the beginning of the year with really easy monetary policy.”
- Lord, this nation is rapidly being destroyed by the actions of this administration. We call on Your Name to save us, and to bring the gift of repentance in a mighty wave across the nation! We thank You for being our Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.
- “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)

8. GOP Senator Warns Infrastructure Bill Includes ‘Budget Gimmicks’ That Will Increase Energy Costs, Make Grid ‘Less Reliable’ | The Daily Wire
Senator John Barrasso, a Republican from Wyoming, appeared on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” on Sunday to discuss several topics including the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, which President Joe Biden is expected to sign into law on Monday.
Stephanopoulos pressed Barrasso on why he voted against the package, citing a White House fact sheet that says Wyoming would receive $1.8 billion for federal-aid-highway apportioned programs, $225 million for bridge repair and replacement, $100 million for broadband internet expansion, $335 million allotted to water infrastructure.
“I was one of the original negotiators at the White House with President Biden and ultimately I voted against it because they did use a lot of budget gimmicks and they are adding $256 billion to the debt,” said Barrasso. “Some of the issues in there, in terms of energy, I think is going to make energy even more expensive and I think is going to make the grid less reliable.”
- Thank You, Lord for lawmakers who see the problems and stand against them. We pray that those who see will be able to stop the plans of those who do not care about Americans.
- “So give Your servant a discerning heart to govern Your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.” (1 Kings 3:9a)

10. White House ‘Actively Engaged’ with NSBA Before ‘Domestic Terrorist’ Letter (breitbart.com)
The White House was already “actively engaged” with top officials of the National School Boards Association (NSBA) prior to the group’s letter to President Joe Biden requesting federal law enforcement explore parents voicing concerns about education issues as possible “domestic terrorists,” Parents Defending Education (PDE) revealed Thursday.
An internal memo from Viola Garcia, NSBA president, dated October 12 and obtained by PDE, provided a timeline of NSBA’s exchange with the White House.
On September 14, the association’s Organization of State Association Executive Directors was informed about a meeting that had taken place with the White House.
Additionally, on September 17, the state association executive directors were notified “a letter requesting federal assistance” would be sent.
- Lord, we thank you that more lies are being revealed. We pray that Your Spirit would bring repentance to every portion of the government, from local to state to federal. Let all hidden things be revealed.
- “Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.” (Luke 12:2)

11. Hospital System That Operates in 19 States Blocked From Firing Workers Over Vaccine: Oklahoma AG (theepochtimes.com)
Oklahoma was granted a temporary restraining order that blocks Ascension Healthcare from terminating employees who were denied religious exemptions from the firm’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor had filed for a restraining order against the company’s requirement. On the night of Nov. 12, a Tulsa district judge granted the request, according to the O’Connor’s office.
“This evening, the Tulsa District Court granted the State’s Application for Temporary Restraining Order in our case to keep Ascension Healthcare from carrying out its plan to fire employees who were unfairly denied religious exemptions from their nationwide COVID-19 vaccination mandate,” the Republican attorney general said in a statement. “This is a win for religious freedom and our office will continue to fight against unlawful religious discrimination.”
Some Ascension employees who worked during the pandemic, he said, sought a religious exemption to the vaccine but were unfairly denied.
- Lord, as this vaccinated versus unvaccinated situation grows out of control, we pray that You will protect Your people against any and all agendas to harm them.
- “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” (Galatians 5:1)

12. CRT defender tells parents he's got 1,000 soldiers 'locked and loaded,' some see it as threat | Fox News
Fort Worth parents told Fox News that they felt threatened when a parent who defended critical race theory turned to the crowd during a school board meeting and said, "I got over 1,000 soldiers ready to go," before adding, "locked and loaded," as officers escorted him out of the room.
"Absolutely, it made me feel threatened," Hollie Plemmons, a stay-at-home mother of three, told Fox News on Sunday. "I’m scared and I’m afraid he’s going to do something."
In the Fort Worth Independent School District board meeting on Nov. 9, Malikk Austin turned to address the parents who had spoken up about critical race theory.
- _Lord, we rebuke these threats in the Name of Jesus and by the Power of His Blood we trample them into the ground. Let no harm come to any parent who stands against the rewriting of American history. Give parents strength and courage.
- “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” (Luke 10:19)

COVID 19 Fear Grooming For Revelation
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, November 15, 2021
One has to look no further than Austria, Australia and the United States to see that world leaders are using the fear messaging of COVID 19 to bring entire populations under tyrannical control. Ministry sources in Australia report the government has dictated a “no jab, no job” policy, with a $21,000 fine for individuals and a $110,000 fine for a church or business. Shopping or eating out without being vaccinated is banned. The vaccinated must use an app to check in wherever they go so the government can track movement, purchases and spending. Churches and businesses are to report violations. Parliamentarians who are not vaccinated are prohibited from voting, effectively removing dissent.
Sunday, Austrian Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg announced the country is placing millions of people who aren’t fully vaccinated for COVID-19 on lockdown. Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said there will be thorough police checks and fines of up to $1,660 for breaches, and all interactions with the police will include checking people’s vaccination status. The unvaccinated are already excluded from entertainment venues, bars, restaurants, and similar businesses. Showing official COVID-19 pass proof of vaccination, recovery from COVID-19, or being recently tested has been required for months in various places including restaurants, theaters, cafes, and hairdressers. See the pattern?

Meteor shower known for historic outbursts nearing peak
|
|
|
The Leonids have produced some of the most incredible meteor storms throughout history. Will that be the case in 2021?
The third and final meteor shower of November is about to reach its climax, an event that has become famous over the centuries for occasionally turning into an all-out meteor storm.
The peak of this year's Leonid meteor shower spans several days and will be best observed during the early morning hours of Wednesday, Nov. 17, and Thursday, Nov. 18. The Leonids are often an average meteor shower that offers about a dozen shooting stars per hour on peak night. But every so often, the celestial floodgates burst open, and the Leonids explode into a celestial waterfall with as many as 30 meteors per second.
“The Leonids are best known for producing meteor storms in the years of 1833, 1866, 1966, 1999, and 2001,” the American Meteor Society explained.
The 1833 event is sometimes called “the night the stars fell” when as many as 100,000 meteors per hour fell from the heavens, according to EarthSky. This was the first recorded meteor storm in modern history. Read More

Atheist Dove Into Bible to Debunk His Christian Dad’s Faith - He Uncovered Something Else Entirely
|
|
|
A Canadian atheist named Scott was once on a pointed mission to debunk his father’s Christian faith, so he decided to take strategic steps to expose the purported error of his dad’s ways.
“He downloaded the [YouVersion] Bible app in an effort to refute his father who was a Christian,” YouVersion creator Bobby Gruenewald told Faithwire. “He wanted to basically say, ‘Look, I read the Bible and I’m going to show you why what you believe is wrong.'”
But something unexpected unfolded: Scott started to see the Bible in an entirely new light.
“He began to see God’s voice in Scripture,” Gruenewald said.
Rather than using verses to disprove his father’s faith, the man found himself drawn in by what he was reading. Before long, Scott became a believer.
“God literally used him reading the Bible app in an effort to try and disprove his father’s religion to lead him into relationship with Jesus,” Gruenewald said. “It just shows the transformational power of scripture.” (CBN) Read more.

21 Days of Repentance
Day #4: Pale Horse Judgment~Repenting of Loving this Life
TODAY'S REPENTANCE REFLECTION:
Judgment Seal #4 ~ Rider on the Pale Horse (DEATH)
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
~Revelation 6:7-8 (KJV)
Some versions translate "pale" as more of a "sickly green" color. It conjures up images of rotting corpses with rigamortis setting in. Whatever it is, it won't be pleasant. Flesh and fleshly behavior = SIN. By the time of 4th seal is opened, sin has METASTASIZED.
It's almost become a cliche now. When a preacher mentions "Living Your Best Life Now" someone will say: "Well, if this is your best life now, I guess you are on your way to hell."
While that may be funny to some, it really shouldn't be. Jesus did not come to give us wealth, riches, prosperity, fans and fame. BUT!...what about the promise of "life and life more abundantly?"

Count Your Blessings
To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE
Words: Johnson Oatman Jr
Music: Edwin Excell
Scripture: Blessings crown the head of the righteous. Proverbs 10:6
Lyrics:
When upon life’s billows
You are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged,
Thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings,
Name them one by one,
And it will surprise you
What the Lord hath done.
Refrain
Count your blessings,
Name them one by one,
Count your blessings,
See what God hath done!
Count your blessings,
Name them one by one,
And it will surprise you
What the Lord hath done.
Are you ever burdened
With a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy
You are called to bear?
Count your many blessings,
Every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing
As the days go by.
Refrain
When you look at others
With their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised
You His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings.
Wealth can never buy
Your reward in Heaven,
Nor your home on high.
Refrain
So, amid the conflict
Whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened,
God is over all;
Count your many blessings,
Angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you
To your journey’s end.
