TODAY'S TOP STORY
Israeli Police Say Extreme Sexual Violence, Rape by Hamas Terrorists Was Systematic
Israel on Tuesday sharply condemned international organizations for failing to act over the years as Hamas turned Gaza hospitals into terror bases.

“For too long international agencies and officials have been tacitly complicit with Hamas’s long-standing abuse of hospitals as human shields,” said Prime Minister’s Office Spokesman Eylon Levy at a press briefing.

“We are demanding full accountability from them. What did you know? Why did you not say anything? Why do you continue to do propaganda for Hamas instead of doing your jobs?” he asked.

The PMO spokesman singled out Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), and U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths for special censure.

The two criticized Israel Defense Forces operations near Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City on Wednesday, with Ghebreyesus tweeting that “the reports of military incursion into Al Shifa hospital are deeply concerning,” and Griffiths posting that he was “appalled by reports of military raids in Al Shifa hospital.” (Israel365News) Read more here. 

Abba, we pray that these international organizations would be DEFUNDED by the US and the EU:  the World Health Organization (WHO), and UN Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief  Agency. Abba, they have been complicit in sending "humanitarian aid"  to Gaza, and we see that millions and millions have been diverted into building 300 miles of terror tunnels, weapons caches, rockets and launches. They have been funding terrorism. May these UN agencies be SHUT DOWN! 

A roaring lion and a prowling bear Is a wicked man ruling a helpless people. (Proverbs 28:15)

Critics Slam Biden Admin for Waiver That Gives Iran Access to $10Billion Dollar Fund: Absolutely Outrageous
The U.S. extended a sanctions waiver that critics slammed as tantamount to continuing to fund Iran’s disruptive activities as its proxies attack U.S. forces across the Middle East.
 
"It is absolutely outrageous the Biden Administration continues to find ways to send Iran money — especially from Iraq, where the same Iranian-backed militias who are targeting American forces increasingly run the show and are helping keep Iraq addicted to Iranian energy," Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.   
 
Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed an extension to the initial 120-day waiver that allows Iraq to pay for Iranian electricity through an escrow account, where it has so far deposited an estimated minimum $10 billion — all without fear of reprisal for potentially breaking any U.S. sanctions. 
 
The waiver allows the payments so long as they go through Oman, where a portion is converted to euros or other widely-traded currencies for Iran to buy non-sanctioned products such as humanitarian aid. The State Department has insisted, as it did with the $6 billion held in Qatar, that the money can only be spent with U.S. approval. The department ended up quietly refreezing the Qatar-held funds (Read more) . 
- Abba, the Biden regime's decision to extend the waiver on Iran's access to $10 Billion US dollars is nothing short of aiding and abetting our enemy.  The Biden regime has again and again shown it's true colors by making decisions that ultimately erode the United States credibility with our allies and the world.  Father God, we ask you to supernaturally shut down all Iranian access to these funds in Jesus' Name, 

We ask you to speak to the hearts of every Congressman and Senator, bringing the truth of what the Biden regime is actually doing, in Jesus' Name.  Allow a cry to arise within our Congress and across our country that is so loud it will force the Biden regime to refreeze these funds just as they did with funds held in Quatar, in Jesus' Name. We ask you to speak to Pres Biden and Sec Blinken, show them that you are watching and you will hold them accountable for every action they take that puts American lives in jeopardy, in Jesus' Name.   AMEN


- "Then the Lord said to me, "Look, Jeremiah!
            What do you see?"
       And I replied, "I see a branch from an
            Almond tree."
   And the Lord said, "That's right and it means
            that I am watching, and I will
       certainly carry out all my plans."

WATCH NOW! (10 MINS)
Netanyahu: Victory Begins with Moral Clarity
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. Ezekiel 44:23

In this news update:
*We hear a short message from Bibi Netanyahu as he calls for moral clarity in the Israel-Hamas war. Israel is on the front lines as they fight against the enemies of civilization. Right now, we must know the difference between good and evil and between right and wrong.
*We get a glimpse of what it is like for Zaka workers, Israeli volunteers who go in and with utter respect, to help recover the remains of those who perished on Oct 7 so they can be laid to rest. (not graphic, only anecdotal stories).
*We see a video clip to help us to “Remember the Babies” who have been kidnapped. May they remain at the forefront of our prayers until ALL the hostages are rescued and returned home safely!
- Abba, we pray that moral clarity will come forth. As nations, tribes, churches and individuals go through the "valley of decision",  we pray that people and nations will CHOOSE the God of Israel, the LAND of Israel and the PEOPLE of Israel!  Abba, we see that this Hamas war is bring up to the surface what is in the heart. Abba, may your convicting Holy Spirit bring light and truth forth and may many who are morally confused or deceived come into your truth! May MANY stand with Israel and the Jewish people! 
 
We also pray for the Zaka volunteers who go in to the places of devastation to respectully find the remains of those slaughtered, so they can be brought to rest. They are exposed to much trauma. Abba, please cover their minds and their hearts and shield, protect and heal them from this trauma. 

Finally, Abba, we lift up the babies and toddlers to you who are STILL being held hostage. Would you send your guardian angels to them? Would you protect them under your wings? We ask that ALL the hostages be rescued and returned home soon!  In Yeshua's name, amen and amen!

- "And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean." (Ezekiel 44:23)
FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Surveillance footage shows Hamas bringing hostages into Shifa Hospital on Oct. 7 - Times of Israel

The Israel Defense Forces releases surveillance camera footage from Shifa Hospital showing Hamas terrorists bringing a Nepali and Thai citizen who were abducted from Israel on October 7 to the medical center.

One of the hostages is visibly wounded in his arm and is brought on a hospital bed, while the second is forcefully dragged into the hospital.

“These findings prove that the Hamas terror organization used Shifa Hospital on the day of the massacre itself as terror infrastructure,” the IDF says. (Read more)

2. Hezbollah increases rocket fire, IDF ups counterattacks - Jerusalem Post

After a few quiet days, sirens wailed on Saturday morning across northern border towns, including Kiryat Shmona, following a barrage of at least 25Hezbollah rockets fired from Lebanon.

The IDF responded throughout the day, striking the source of the rocket fire and several Hezbollah terror positions.Lebanese officials said an Israeli airstrike hit a building in an industrial area near the town of Nabatiya, one of the deepest Israeli strikes inside Lebanese territory since fighting resumed last month.

The IDF hits back

The IDF said both air and tank units struck Hezbollah targets including an advanced anti-aircraft system. It did not specify the location of the targets. (Read more)

3. Israel did not enter Gaza to hand it over to the Palestinian Authority, Netanyahu says - Jerusalem Post

Israel has no intention of handing Gaza over to the PA once the war is over, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday night as he rebuffed US pressure to do so.

“The Palestinian Authority in its current form is not able to take responsibility for Gaza,” Netanyahu said. “After we fought and did all this, how could we hand it over to them?”

He noted that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has yet to condemn the October 7 massacre, which sparked the Gaza war, in which Hamas killed more than 1,200 people and seized over 239 hostages. (Read more)

4. Israel-Hamas hostage deal edges closer despite fierce fighting in Gaza - Reuters

GAZA/JERUSALEM, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Hamas gunmen battled Israeli forces trying to push into Gaza's largest refugee camp on Sunday, but despite the fighting U.S. and Israeli officials said a deal to free some of the hostages being held in the besieged enclave was edging closer.

About 240 hostages were taken during Hamas's deadly cross-border rampage into Israel on Oct. 7, which prompted Israel to invade the tiny Palestinian territory to wipe out its ruling Islamist group after several inconclusive wars since 2007.

Israeli tanks and troops stormed into Gaza late last month and have since wrested control of large areas of the north and northwest and east around Gaza City, the military says.

But Hamas and local witnesses say militants are waging guerrilla-style war in pockets of the densely urbanised north, including parts of Gaza City and the sprawling Jabalia and Beach refugee camps. (Read more)

5. Yemenite terrorist group hijacks Israeli-linked ship - World Israel News

Yemenite terrorists operating in the Red Sea hijacked an Israeli-linked cargo vessel Sunday.

The ship, Galaxy Leader, was seized by members of the Iranian-backed Houthi rebel movement, which has been engaged in a years-long war with the government of Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

Following the Hamas invasion of Israel last month, the Houthis have also attacked Israel repeatedly, launching missiles and unmanned aircraft towards the southern Israeli port city of Eilat.

According to a statement by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office Sunday evening, the 25 crew members of the Galaxy Leader are Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Filipino, and Mexican nationals, with no Israeli citizens on board the Bahamas-flagged vessel. (Read more)

6. Israeli police say extreme sexual violence, rape by Hamas terrorists was systematic - Fox News
 

The Civil Commission on October 7th Crimes by Hamas Against Women is working to compile a database of gender-based atrocities.
 
> > > Warning: This article includes graphic and disturbing accounts from the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel.

JERUSALEM — The first suggestion that Hamas terrorists committed acts of extreme sexual violence and rape against victims during their Oct. 7 rampage through southern Israel came on social media early on that fateful Saturday morning six weeks ago. 

Two short videos, shared by the terrorists themselves, quickly emerged showing groups of cheering Palestinian men, some armed, in the streets of Gaza crowding around half-naked and bloodied young Israeli women.

In one clip, a woman later identified as German-Israeli citizen Shani Louk, 22, can be seen barely clothed lying unconscious in an unnatural position on the flatbed of a pickup as men spit and abuse her body while screaming "Allahu Akhbar."

In another video, 19-year-old Israeli soldier Na’ama Levy is pulled from the back of a jeep by an armed gunman, her hands bound behind her back and  thick blood stains between her legs, as Palestinian men jeer at her. (Read more)

- Lord, we fervently pray for an end to this violence. We also pray for Your justice against it. May violence of this magnitude not be found in the land and may Your healing come to all affected.

- "Violence shall no more be heard in your land, devastation or destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise."           (Isaiah 60:18)

The Daily Brief
1. Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter Dead at 96 - Western Journal

Former first lady Rosalynn Carter, the closest adviser to Jimmy Carter during his one term as U.S. president and their four decades thereafter as global humanitarians, has died at the age of 96.

The Carter Center said she died Sunday after living with dementia and suffering many months of declining health. The statement announcing her death said she “died peacefully, with family by her side” at 2:10 p.m. at her rural Georgia home of Plains.

“Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished,” Carter said in the statement. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”

The Carters were married for more than 77 years, forging what they both described as a “full partnership.” Unlike many previous first ladies, Rosalynn sat in on Cabinet meetings, spoke out on controversial issues and represented her husband on foreign trips. Aides to President Carter sometimes referred to her — privately — as “co-president.”
(Read more)

- Father, we give honor to a life well-lived.  Rosalynn Carter was a strong and reliable support for her husband for so many years and worked to help those who were less fortunate, most especially those fighting mental illness.  We grieve with those who grieve and pray for her journey with You, Lord.  We also pray for Jimmy and the family, that every one of them will walk in Your salvation and light, in Jesus name."

- "'For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist.' Says the Lord.  'But on this one will I look:  On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.'"  (Isaiah 66:2)

2. Another Lousy Deal For America, Brought To You By John Kerry – Daily Caller
 
It seems that any meeting between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping inevitably presents another opportunity to render the U.S. increasingly reliant on China for its energy security.
 
This week’s meetings at the APEC conference in a suddenly cleaned-up San Francisco were no exception.
 
One of the most disturbing aspects of the bilateral meetings between the U.S. and China was the looming presence of John Kerry at the table. Kerry serves as Biden’s “climate envoy,” a made-up job that is not even a confirmed position and does not merit a seat at such meetings. But there he was, making sure the President and other U.S. officials toe the line on climate commitments.
 
Fox News reports that Kerry’s efforts resulted in more security compromising fruit, as State Department officials agreed with their Chinese counterparts to triple down on commitments to further inhibit American energy and national security in the name of climate change. The two governments agreed to “accelerate the substitution for coal, oil and gas generation” with renewables and electric vehicles in the coming years, a pledge that China has already undermined with its implementation of a new round of subsidies for the acceleration of its already-massive expansion of coal-fired power plants in the coming years.
 
It is the sort of deal China has routinely violated in recent years as it continues to prioritize its own energy security at the expense of stated climate goals. It is also the sort of deal that Kerry, Biden and other Democrats have systematically used over recent decades to render the U.S. increasingly reliant on China for its own energy future. (Read more)
 
- Father, we stand on Your word that says You have good plans for us, and not evil. We rebuke the demonic powers that continually try to destroy the US by making us dependent on a Communist regime in the Name of Jesus.
 
- “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) 

3. Report: Government Flubs Enabled China Disease Lab in California – Breitbart
 
The federal government failed to notice an unlicensed bio lab in Reedley, California, which stored many communicable diseases and was created by a fugitive Chinese citizen with close ties to China’s government, according to a congressional report.
 
The report by the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party also said that President Joe Biden’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spent at least two months ignoring pleas by local officials to examine and contain the disease storehouse. The storehouse contained canisters of deadly viruses and diseases, including Malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, China’s coronavirus, and perhaps, Ebola.
 
The apparent illegal migrant ringleader was finally arrested in October and charged with fraud crimes, long after he fled from a Canadian court in 2016, and long after he began reportedly selling fraudulent medical products to Americans.
 
“A disturbing realization is that no one knows whether there are other unknown biolabs in the United States,” said the bipartisan, 42-page report, dubbed “The Reedley Report.”
 
The federal government rarely tries to learn from its failures, and there is little evidence that the Department of Homeland Security, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the FBI, or the Federal Trade Commission, are investigating their multi-agency failure. California’s state government also failed to detect the operation until a city inspector in Reedly, CA, discovered an improper water release. (Read more) 

- Lord, this situation over false unlicensed labs is a serious concern. We pray that all of them nationwide would be found and prevented from operating or harming anyone.
 
- “One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.” (Proverbs 14:16)  

4.  Haley rises but Trump remains dominant in early GOP presidential primary state: poll – Fox News
 
With less than two months until the first votes in the battle for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, two new polls in the first primary state show sustained momentum for former ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
 
However, the surveys in New Hampshire, which holds the second overall contest in the GOP nominating calendar following the Iowa caucuses, reaffirm that former President Donald Trump remains the dominant front-runner.
 
The polls also suggest that Trump's supporters are more enthusiastic and committed about voting for their candidate compared to those backing the former president's rivals for the nomination.
 
Trump stands at 46% support among likely Republican presidential primary voters in New Hampshire in a Monmouth University/Washington Post poll released Friday. (Read more)
 
- Lord, as the presidential campaign progresses, we ask that only Your choice for President move forward. Let no one be able to destroy Your plan or remove votes from the one You have chosen.

5.  BREAKING!! Judge Rejects Effort To Kick Trump Off Ballot In Colorado Under 14th Amendment – Daily Wire

A judge in Colorado has rejected a challenge filed by a Left-leaning group to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot under the 14th Amendment. 
 
On Friday, Colorado Judge Sarah B. Wallace ruled that Trump could not be kicked off the ballot in the state because the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment did not apply to the presidency. The challenge in Colorado was filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington on behalf of six Colorado voters. 
 
“Part of the court’s decision is its reluctance to embrace an interpretation which would disqualify a presidential candidate without a clear, unmistakable indication that such is the intent of Section 3,” Wallace wrote. The ruling comes after similar efforts to block Trump from appearing on state ballots failed in Michigan and Minnesota.
 
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said that the ruling was another nail in the coffin for the efforts to make Trump ineligible to run for office. (Read more)  

- Lord, we thank You that President Trump will remain on the ballot for 2024 in spite of the Democrats’ plans to have him removed. We pray that You will stop any further plans like this from occurring.
 
- “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)

6. Army Scrambling to Get Back Soldiers It Kicked Out over Biden’s Military Vaccine Mandate – Breitbart
 
The Army now appears to be trying to bring back into service soldiers it kicked out over the Biden administration’s policy to remove servicemembers who rejected the coronavirus vaccine mandate, according to a letter from the Army several former soldiers posted online.
 
The letter, addressed to “Former Service Member,” states that there is new Army guidance that would correct military records of those kicked out, which would enable those who were removed and had their DD-214s marked with a certain code barring them from reentering service to be able to return.
 
The letter instructed former soldiers on how they could get their records corrected, then added: (Read more)

- Lord, these service members living with the knowledge that the government kicked them out may not be willing to subject themselves to such treatment again. We pray for our nation’s military, that they would have enough members to fight for our nation, and that those who do serve would be faithful and strong.
 
- “Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.” (1 Corin. 4:2)

7. IRS takes aim at Americans' earnings from Venmo and PayPal, dispatches 30 million new tax forms – Just The News
 
A new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report shows that the Internal Revenue Service for the first time will be sending out 1099-K tax forms to about 30 million Americans for earnings paid through Venmo and PayPal.  
 
House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., responded: "Thanks to Democrats, more Americans who mow lawns or sell concert tickets and used couches through Venmo or PayPal will have those transactions scrutinized by the IRS starting in January 2024 thanks to a lower reporting threshold for IRS form 1099-K," read an analysis from Smith's office on Thursday.
 
"A new report from the GAO shows that the IRS will send at least 30 million new 1099-K tax forms to Americans’ mailboxes come January, even though the agency has no plan on what to do with the new information – and it is unlikely most Americans will understand how to fill them out," his office also said.
According to the GAO report, the IRS "expects to receive about 44 million Form 1099-Ks in 2024—an increase of about 30 million. However, this estimate may change as IRS receives more information from large filers and states." (Read more)

8.  Censured, then canceled: Michigan congresswoman Tlaib's speech at Arizona university nixed – Just the News
 
A planned speech from recently-censured U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., on Arizona State University's Tempe campus has been canceled by the school.
 
An ASU spokesperson on Friday told The Center Square that Tlaib's speech would not happen on school grounds, saying the groups organizing the event didn't follow proper channels.
 
"Organizers of events using ASU facilities must be properly registered with ASU and must meet all university requirements for crowd management, parking, security, and insurance," the spokesperson said. "In addition, the events must be produced in a way which minimizes disruption to academic and other activities on campus. The event featuring Congresswoman Tlaib was planned and produced by groups not affiliated with ASU and was organized outside of ASU policies and procedures."
 
The Friday afternoon speech was organized by several groups opposed to Israel's military actions retaliating against Palestine-based Hamas' terrorist raid on Oct. 7 that led to the death of an estimated 1,200 Jews and others in the country. (Read more)
 
- Lord, we praise You that this speech was cancelled for whatever reason. We ask that You bind her from her mission to deceive college students any further. Let no more lies and hatred come from her lips.
 
- “Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.” (Proverbs 26:24-26)

Netanyahu: Israel didn’t enter Gaza to hand it over to the PA  

Israel has no intention of handing Gaza over to the PA once the war is over, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday night as he rebuffed US pressure to do so.

“The Palestinian Authority in its current form is not able to take responsibility for Gaza,” Netanyahu said. “After we fought and did all this, how could we hand it over to them?”

He noted that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has yet to condemn the October 7 massacre, which sparked the Gaza war, in which Hamas killed more than 1,200 people and seized over 239 hostages. (Jerusalem Post) Read more

Abba, we thank you for Netanyahu's resolve. We pray he would remain firm in his position. We know that 75% of the Palestinians were in support of the Hamas massacre.
It would be a HUGE mistake to put the PA in charge of Gaza. It would just become another terrorist stronghold. Abba, please grant wisdom, strength and resolve to Netanyahu, no matter what pressure is put upon him. May Israel ANNEX the Gaza strip and reclaim it back!  In Yeshua's name, amen and amen.

Biden calls for ‘revitalized PA’ control of Gaza and two-state plan after war
Biden calls for ‘revitalized PA’ control of Gaza and two-state plan after war  

U.S. President Joe Biden outlined on Saturday his administration’s long-term goal of ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “forever,” which includes a “revitalized” Palestinian Authority assuming control of the Gaza Strip after the war and a redoubling of the international community’s efforts towards a two-state solution.

In a Washington Post op-ed titled, “The U.S. won’t back down from the challenge of Putin and Hamas,” Biden emphasized that the “goal should not be simply to stop the [Israel-Hamas] war for today—it should be to end the war forever, break the cycle of unceasing violence, and build something stronger in Gaza and across the Middle East so that history does not keep repeating itself.”

To this end, Biden reiterated his administration’s commitment to a two-state solution, which is “the only way to ensure the long-term security of both the Israeli and Palestinian people. Though right now it may seem like that future has never been further away, this crisis has made it more imperative than ever.” (JNS.org) Read more here. 

- Father God, as Your children, we cannot condone nor align ourselves with this position regarding the establishment of a "two-state solution" to bring peace to this land. Joe Biden may speak for himself, but he does not speak for us nor for any "official" U.S. policy. We ask You to forgive him, Lord, for his ignorance of Your Word, which is our covenant of truth. We thank You for the clarity of Your Word: the land belongs to the Jew. In Your name, Abba, we offer this prayer, amen and amen!

- "I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land." (Joel 3:2)

Supervolcanoes and a wooden satellite

This week in science news, we found four supervolcano "megabeds," learned that the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is spinning at near top speed, and debunked claims around tiny "alien" spherules discovered last year.

Researchers discovered four massive supervolcano megabeds that had been resting at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea for up to 40,000 years. These deposits, between 33 and 82 feet (10 to 25 meters) in thickness, point to catastrophic events that have struck Europe every 10,000 to 15,000 years.

While Iceland's rumbling volcano isn't likely to be as impressive, the country is nonetheless bracing for an imminent volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The residents of Grindavík, in southwest Iceland, were evacuated after three sinkholes appeared in their town. Seismic activity began Oct. 25, and the Icelandic Met Office confirmed there was a 9.3-mile-long (15 kilometers) "magma tunnel" stretching from Sundhnúk in the north down to Grindavík, and then into the sea — with experts suggesting an eruption could take place anywhere along it. 

While we await news from below, looking to the skies, NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency are planning to launch the world's first wooden satellite as soon as next year. Called LignoSat, the mug-size satellite is made from magnolia wood and designed to test the feasibility of using the biodegradable material for future satellites. Read More

'Miracle': Muslim Men in Gaza Seek Christ After Over 200 Dream of Jesus on Same Night 

More than 200 Muslim men in Gaza have converted to Christianity after reportedly seeing Jesus in their dreams, said Christian professor Michael Licona.

Licona teaches New Testament studies at Houston Christian University and has also written a number of books, including “The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus” and “Paul Meets Muhammad.”

In a recent Facebook post, Licona said he received a report from “underground Christian ministries” in the Middle East that detailed the miraculous conversions.

“God is working in the midst of war!” his post began.

He then quoted the report from the ministries.“Over the past two days, we have ministered to hundreds of fathers who have lost most, if not all, of their children in the war. As we moved these men to safety, we fed them, washed their clothes, and began to read the Bible to them — sharing the way of peace through Jesus.

“Then, a big miracle happened. Last night, Jesus appeared to more than 200 of them in their dreams! They have come back to us to learn more from God’s Word and are asking how to follow Jesus,” the report said.

Licona then voiced his own stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict. “I side with Israel in this war; not necessarily for theological reasons but because Hamas and those backing it are pure evil,” Licona said.

“Yet, I know that not all Palestinians support Hamas. In fact, they will be punished severely if even suspected of not supporting Hamas. Let’s pray that this war can be over soon and that Israel can eradicate Hamas so that Palestinians can be free … of Hamas!” (Western Journal) Read more here.  

Praise the LORD! 

- Abba, we are in AWE of Your Holy Ways; You are our Deliverer, our Rescue and Bread of Life! We sing HALLELUJAH for powerful dreams that are removing veils from eyes and hearts of Muslims in Gaza. We praise You for answered prayer in revealing Yourself and ask that You would continue to bring in a harvest of souls among Muslims according to your Word, that every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD!! In the Mighty Name of Yeshua-Amen

"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."

Scripture: He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5

Lyrics:
There’s One who can comfort when all else fails,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus;
A Savior who saves tho’ the foe assails,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus:
Once He traveled the way we go,
Felt the pangs of deceit and woe;
Who more perfectly then can know,
Than Jesus, blessèd Jesus?

He heareth the cry of the soul distressed,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus;
He healeth the wounded, He giveth rest,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus:
When from loved ones we’re called to part,
When the tears in our anguish start,
None can comfort the breaking heart,
Like Jesus, blessèd Jesus.

He never forsakes in the darkest hour,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus;
His arm is around us with keeping power,So
Jesus, blessèd Jesus:
When we enter the shadow land
When at Jordan we trembling stand,
He will meet us with outstretched hand,
This Jesus, blessèd Jesus.

What joy it will be when we see His face,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus;
Forever to sing of His love and grace,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus:
There at home on that shining shore,
With the loved ones gone on before,
We will praise Him forevermore,
Our Jesus, blessèd Jesus.
