Christian testimony films reaching into closed countries for Christ
|
|
International (MNN) — November 18 was the global day of prayer for Muslim background believers. The website I Found the Truth captures the testimonies of these Christians from Muslim backgrounds for the world to see. “Some of our films have gone into all parts of the Muslim world, 100% Muslim areas, and we’re getting responses from Muslims all over the world wanting to know who Jesus is,” says Josh* with Uncharted Ministries. “We connect with Muslims that become Christians and then they use the films as tools to evangelize to Muslims.
We started I Found the Truth to reach Muslims with the gospel, to have a safe space for Muslims to come and hear about Jesus, where they weren’t able to find some of these answers before,” Josh says. "We’ve got trained folks on our end that can talk with Muslims and bring them through that continuum of who Jesus is all the way to knowing how to accept Him into your heart.” More than half of the population in the Middle East is under 30 years old. Josh says their team connects with many young people in this region who are looking for hope and peace. (Mission News Network) Read More Here
- Abba, we rejoice for the 'I found the truth' films sharing testimonies from converted believers who once practiced the Muslim faith. We celebrate Your mighty work in the Middle East as hearts are seeking Jesus! We ask for Your protection upon the life of each courageous believer and their family. May Your favor continue to fall upon 'Uncharted Ministries' as they spread the truths of FREEDOM in Christ, by sharing these powerful testimonials. GLORY to God Almighty!! By the blood and powerful Name of Yeshua- Amen and Amen

US Intelligence Chief Brands China-Linked Phone Hack "Worst in Our Nation's History"
|
|
Is somebody listening in to your phone call? Too late. It might have happened already. A major breach of U.S. telecom companies occurred earlier this month that has since been branded the “worst telecom hack in our nation’s history – by far” according to Mark Warner, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Allegations link China to the attack with hackers intercepting sensitive surveillance data intended for sharing across American law enforcement agencies and some wider private users.
Reuters reports the breach was confirmed in a joint statement by the FBI and U.S. cyber watchdog agency, CISA, on November 13.
“This is an ongoing effort by China to infiltrate telecom systems around the world, to exfiltrate huge amounts of data,” Warner told the Washington Post. Read more

- Lord, we pray that Your power would preserve our cybersecurity ability, and stop the incursions that hack into them.We delete any repercussions of this action and ask for Your Mighty protection for all victimized by it.

Wait Until You Hear What Planned Parenthood Was Just Caught Doing
|
|
The nation’s largest abortion clinic was caught selling 23-week-old aborted babies for research— the same clinic that argues they are “saving” women’s lives.
According to shocking emails, Planned Parenthood negotiated terms concerning the donation of aborted fetuses for medical research regarding a “research plan” submitted to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Ethics Review Board. In 2018, the so-called “plan” was approved, noting that scientists requested up to 2,500 fetuses that were aborted at the six-month gestation period.
The heavily redacted plan stated that the project would harvest fetuses from four weeks up until six months old from patients undergoing “elective surgical pregnancy termination” who are carrying viable, non-anomalous fetuses at Planned Parenthood. The aborted fetuses from Planned Parenthood were transferred to the research center thanks to the help of a “Biological Materials Transfer Agreement” contract. Read more

MSNBC Contributor Warns Trump's New AG Pick Pam Bondi Should Spark "fear" - "Because She's Competent"
|
|
College professor and MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson warned that President-Elect Donald Trump’s new pick to lead the Justice Department should spark “fear” among the left because she could actually execute his agenda.
Trump announced Thursday evening that he’s nominating former attorney general of Florida Pam Bondi as the next attorney general of the United States. The latest cabinet pick replaces former Florida representative Matt Gaetz, who withdrew as nominee for attorney general on Thursday after the “distraction” his nomination had caused due to a swirl of allegations about paying underage women for sex.
Johnson told MSNBC host Ari Melber that this is bad news for those concerned about Trump.
“Occasionally, attorneys general try to behave like they are not the personal lawyer of the President of the United States. That is completely out the window. Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment that we should all fear, because she’s competent,” he said. Read more

- Lord, we pray that the allegations and attacks against President-Elect Trump’s picks for his administration would stop. We ask that only honest questions and honest answers prevail rather than unhinged thought processes.

"Solidarity Fever": Biden-Harris EPA Weighs Awarding Taxpayer Dollars to Nonprofit That Wants to Defund the Police
|
|
|
One of the last actions the Biden-Harris administration takes could be the disbursal of tens of millions of dollars to a pro-Palestinian nonprofit that disseminated protest materials exalting Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, invasion of Israel.
In December 2023, the EPA selected Climate Justice Alliance (CJA), a Berkeley, California-based “environmental justice” nonprofit, to receive a $50 million grant award despite the entity engaging in anti-Israel advocacy following Hamas’ October 7th attacks and promoting the “defund the police” movement. Nearly a year later, the EPA has not moved forward in obligating the grant to CJA, and the pro-Palestinian nonprofit is demanding that EPA disburse the cash before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
“Now more than ever, the promises of the IRA [Inflation Reduction Act] should be delivered on and the obligated funds that Climate Justice Alliance is waiting on should be released by December,” KD Chavez, executive director of CJA, wrote in a press release on Wednesday. Read more

- Lord, the “IRA”, Inflation Reduction Act, was a sham. We pray that You would prevent these funds from going to leftist organizations or states. We ask that law enforcement be protected against attempts to defund them in the wake of rising crime.

1. Israel signals approval of Lebanon cease-fire agreement - YNET News
Israeli, U.S. and Lebanese sources confirmed Sunday that Jerusalem has given a preliminary green light to a proposed agreement with Lebanon, subject to final approval by the Cabinet. Responding to reports, an Israeli official said that while there is "a willingness and a general intention to move forward," some issues "remain on the table." The official added, "It’s not finalized, but the direction is positive."
However, Ynet has learned that Amos Hochstein, the U.S. special envoy for the region and President Joe Biden’s emissary, informed Lebanese officials of Israel’s decision earlier in the evening.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah ramped up its rocket fire on Israel Sunday, launching over 255 projectiles since midnight, coinciding with a high-level meeting convened by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss a potential cease-fire agreement in Lebanon. (Read more)

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Scott Bessent to lead the U.S. Department of the Treasury, ending days of speculation after other names emerged as competitors to the reported favorite.
“Scott is widely respected as one of the world’s foremost international investors and geopolitical and economic strategists. Scott’s story is that of the American Dream,” Trump said in a statement on the nomination.
Bessent, 62, is a Wall Street veteran and founder of international macro investment company Key Square Group. He served as a key economic adviser to Trump’s 2024 campaign. Read more

2. Blue state to shutter over a dozen migrant shelters as Trump’s set to implement deportation agenda - Fox
Two hotels-turned-migrant shelters in the city have already closed – the Hotel Merit in Manhattan and the Quality Inn JFK in Queens – while 10 other shelter facilities across the state are earmarked for closure by Dec. 31, New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office told Fox News Digital.
The 10 shelters are located in Albany, Dutchess, Erie, Orange and Westchester counties and had been put into operation by the city when it ran out of space, such was the sheer scale of the crisis.
Additionally, New York City's sprawling migrant shelter on Randall's Island, which was designed to house up to 3,000 people, is slated to shut down by February, a couple of weeks after Trump's inauguration to a second term on Jan. 20, 2025.
The closures come as Adams revealed Monday that the city has catered to more than 223,000 migrants and asylum seekers who have arrived in New York City since the spring of 2022, which he said equated to about half the population of the state capital of Albany. Read more

3. S distance runner begs school to remove trans athlete amid safety fears: 'LGBTQ is shoved down our throats' - Fox News
A girls' cross country runner at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California, delivered an impassioned plea to her school board on Thursday amid an ongoing controversy over a trans athlete on her team.
The 16-year-old high school student, Rylee Morrow, addressed a recent lawsuit by her teammates alleging that their "Save Girls Sports" T-shirts were likened to a swastika by school officials. The plaintiffs had worn the shirts after a transgender athlete, who hadn’t consistently attended practices or met key varsity eligibility requirements, was placed on the varsity team, displacing one of the girls from her spot, the complaint alleged.
Athletic department school officials allegedly then forced the students to remove or conceal the shirts, claiming they created a "hostile" environment and comparing wearing these shirts to wearing a swastika in front of Jewish students.
Morrow spoke at a Riverside Unified School District board meeting on Thursday, lambasting her school officials and the notion that trans athletes should be allowed to compete in women's sports. Read more

4. Graham to Canada’s Trudeau: ‘If You Help the ICC, We’re Going to Crush Your Economy’ - Breitbart
Friday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham had a stern warning for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and anyone else willing to help a “rogue” International Criminal Court (ICC) as a nation enforce an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
The South Carolina Republican threatened sanctions that would impact economies in those countries.
Partial transcript as follows:
What will I do? If you are going to help the ICC as a nation enforce their arrest warrant against Bibi and Gallant, the former defense minister, I will put sanctions on you as a nation. You’re going to have to pick the rogue ICC versus America.
I’m working with Tom Cotton to have legislation passed as soon as we can to sanction any country that aids and abets the arrest of any politician in Israel. What they’re doing in Israel is trying to prevent a second Holocaust.
So to any ally, Canada, Britain, Germany, France, if you try to help the ICC, we’re going to sanction you. Read more

- Lord, we pray that You will bring truth to Justin Trudeau. He has now been given two choices: repent and be changed or continue in this path and have his economy be crushed. We ask that for the sake of Your people in Canada that he will make the right choice.
- “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15b)

5. US Intelligence Issues Warning To Defense Industries About Russian Threats – Daily Caller
U.S. intelligence agencies urged companies Thursday to bolster security amid rising concerns over Russian sabotage activities in Europe.
The advisory pointed out heightened risks for firms supporting Ukraine’s military efforts against Moscow’s ongoing invasion, according to the public bulletin issued by the National Counterintelligence and Security Center. The warning comes after a series of incidents in Europe, which officials attribute to Russian covert operations aimed at undermining Ukraine’s allies.
“Russia’s sabotage activities in Europe increase the risk to U.S. companies abroad and potentially at home,” the officials wrote in the warning. “Such sabotage operations can sow fear and doubt, damage important infrastructure, disrupt commerce, or cause injury and death.”
Recent sabotage cases include arson attacks targeting defense firms and logistics hubs in the United Kingdom and Poland. They also include attempts to compromise public utilities and military installations, the bulletin said. Intelligence officials believe Russian operatives often recruit local criminals to execute these actions, adding a layer of plausible deniability to their activities. Read more

- Father of truth, we ask that only Your timing and Your wisdom will prevail over any actions by Russia. We pray for protection against sabotage operations, and that all hidden plans be revealed ahead of time.

6. Ex-security adviser accuses Biden of trying to 'sabotage' Trump's effort to end Russia-Ukraine war – Just the News
A former top security aide to Donald Trump on Monday accused the Biden administration of trying to intentionally "sabotage" the President-elect's efforts to bring an end to the Russian war against Ukraine.
Former National Security Council chief of staff Fred Fleitz said President Joe Biden was repeatedly unwilling to authorize Ukraine to use U.S.-made missiles to strike deep inside Russia before the election, and his lame-duck decision this weekend to authorize it now smacks of an effort to thwart Trump's effort to create a ceasefire and peace deal.
"The timing is really curious, because Biden was reluctant to do this before the election, because he was worried he would escalate the war. He would take a lot of criticism for possibly escalating the war," Fleitz told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "And now that the election is over, he's made this decision, which Putin has said is a red line and could put Russia at war with the United States. Read more

- Lord, if this action is designed to thwart President Trump, then we take Your authority over it and ask that it actually work to his benefit instead of against him.

3,300-year-old cave ‘frozen in time' from reign of Ramesses II uncovered in Israel
|
|
An extraordinary archaeological discovery has been made in Israel-a 3,300-year-old cave sealed since the reign of Ramesses II has been unearthed near Tel Aviv. This remarkable find, dating back to the Late Bronze Age, offers a glimpse into ancient burial practices and long-lost artifacts.
A Stunning Discovery at Palmahim Beach
The cave was uncovered by chance when construction workers operating at Palmahim Beach National Park accidentally breached its roof. Archaeologists quickly descended into the cavern, finding it astonishingly well-preserved. Inside, an array of ceramic and bronze artifacts lay undisturbed, appearing as though frozen in time. Experts suggest these items were burial goods, meant to accompany the deceased into the afterlife.
Artifacts from a Powerful Empire
The discovery dates back to the era when Ramesses II, one of Egypt's most influential pharaohs, ruled an empire that spanned modern-day Sudan to Syria. Among the cave's contents were a variety of pottery vessels, including bowls, goblets, cooking pots, storage jars, and oil lamps. Some of these items, painted and intricately designed, were likely imported from ancient Syria, Lebanon, and Cyprus, highlighting the extensive trade networks of the time. Read More
