Franklin Graham says Americans Must Help Each Other Amid Storm Devastation, Trust in God's Goodness
Samaritan's Purse CEO Franklin Graham told The Christian Post that God is faithful amid suffering and that Americans must rely on each other after the recent hurricane devastation in the southeastern United States that afflicted his hometown. He also advised Americans against waiting for the government to save them in the wake of the damage from Hurricane Helene, which tore through a corridor extending from the Florida panhandle into Appalachia last week. The storm left wide swaths of death and destruction, especially in Graham's native western North Carolina, where his nonprofit Samaritan's Purse is based in Boone. The relief organization has been using helicopters to carry food, water and medical kits to some of the state's remote western counties, Graham told CP. They are also responding in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. Earlier this week, Graham toured the devastation with former President Donald Trump in Valdosta, Georgia. Read more

Obama to Campaign for Harris in Pennsylvania, other Key States

Former President Obama is preparing to hit the campaign trail next week for Vice President Harris, focusing on key battleground states in the lead up to Election Day, according to a senior campaign official with anonymity to discuss the matter.

Obama, who served back-to-back terms as president from 2009 through 2017, will kick off his drive in the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania on Thursday, a state which remains one of the tightest contests in the nation and which could tip the scales for either candidate. 

A Fox News survey of Pennsylvania voters last week found Harris narrowly ahead of Trump by 2 points (50-48%) among registered voters, while the race is tied at 49% each among likely voters. President Biden won the state by more than 80,000 votes in 2020. 

President Obama’s Senior Advisor Eric Schultz tells Fox News that the 44th president is determined to help Harris and other Democrats get elected. 

"President Obama believes the stakes of this election could not be more consequential and that is why he is doing everything he can to help elect Vice President Harris, Governor Walz and Democrats across the country," Schultz said. 

"His goals are to win the White House, keep the U.S. Senate, and take back the House of Representatives. Now that voting has begun, our focus is on persuading and mobilizing voters, especially in states with key races. Many of these races are likely to go down to the wire and nothing should be taken for granted."

Former President Obama remains extremely popular among Democrats according to opinion polls and his favorable rating is also in positive territory among independent voters. But most Republicans hold an unfavorable view of the former two-term president.

Holy Lord, we pray that people will not be swayed by this attempt to deceive voters by using former President Obama to campaign for Harris. We ask that all truth regarding the Harris/Walz ticket be revealed to every American. We ask that ears and eyes be opened to that truth.

“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.” Proverbs 10:9

 Kamala Harris Announces $750 for Hurrican Helene Victims After Announcing $8B for Ukraine

Vice President Kamala Harris announced $750 in aid for Hurricane Helene victims, just days after her and President Joe Biden’s administration announced $8 billion in a new installment of aid for Ukraine.

Harris spent the weekend campaigning on the West Coast as the hurricane unleashed deadly destruction across the nation’s southwest, killing hundreds of Americans, with hundreds more still missing.

On Wednesday, Harris visited Georgia — two days after former President Donald Trump visited — and announced what many are criticizing as a measly amount of aid for hurricane victims: $750.

Harris touted during remarks in Augusta, Georgia, “The federal relief and assistance that we have been providing has included FEMA providing $750 for folks who need immediate needs being met, such as food, baby formula, and the like. And you can apply now.”

The $750 is $50 more than the amount the administration gave the 2023 Maui wildfire victims, which included many who had lost their homes and loved ones.

Just a week ago, the Biden-Harris administration announced $8 billion for Ukraine.

Father, the injustice of the government is on full display in this horrific action. We pray that You will bring Your people to this region to assist all who are suffering and let everyone see Your hand in it. We ask for realignment of priorities in all areas of the administration.

Judge Unseals Legal Brief Targeting Trump Just One Month From Election Day 

Former President Donald Trump is blasting the Biden-Harris Justice Department for “weaponizing” the legal system in a political “hit job” against him as a federal judge is releasing a lengthy brief accusing Trump of election interference crimes.

On Wednesday, Obama-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed a brief filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith in his continuing case against Trump related to the former president’s handling of the 2020 presidential election. Trump’s legal team previously requested that the brief be largely sealed until after the 2024 election in order to avoid “an improper motion for summary judgment in the court of public opinion” ahead of November.

Chutkan, however, argued Wednesday that there is “no support” for the Trump team’s claims. “These accusations, for which Defendant provides no support, continue a pattern of defense filings focusing on political rhetoric rather than addressing the legal issues at hand,” she wrote. “Not only is that focus unresponsive and unhelpful to the court, but it is also unbefitting of experienced defense counsel and undermining of the judicial proceedings in this case.” Read more

Father, the audacity of this administration to continue to target President Trump with all manner of charges is extremely concerning. We pray that all charges be dismissed and fall to the ground. The election interference is deep with these prosecutors, so we pray that You remove the seeds of hatred from their hearts.

“O you who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 97:10

FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Israeli Forces Redeploy to Northern Gaza to Quell Hamas Resurgence - Algemeiner

JNS.org – The Israel Defense Forces said on Sunday that Israeli forces had encircled Jabaliya in northern Gaza ahead of an operation there to prevent Hamas from reestablishing itself there.

The army said that soldiers from the 162nd Division were redeployed to the Jabaliya area overnight Saturday after being stationed along the Philadelphi Corridor separating Gaza from Egypt’s Sinai.

Troops from the 401st and 460th brigades had encircled the area and were continuing to operate there on Sunday, according to the IDF. They were assisted by the Israeli Air Force before and during the ground operation, directed by the 215th Brigade. Among the targets hit were weapons storage facilities, underground infrastructure, terrorist cells and additional military sites. (Read more)

2. PM Netanyahu: No country would accept the attack from Iran, and neither will Israel - Jerusalem Post

"We have an obligation to respond to Iran - and we will," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded message broadcasted on Israeli media channels on Saturday night.

The statement came as the world awaits an Israeli response to Iran's missile barrage on Tuesday. "No country in the world would have accepted such an attack, and neither will Israel," he added. (Read more)

3. IDF vows ‘no relief or respite’ for Hezbollah; 440 terror operatives killed in ground op - Times of Israel 

The Israel Defense Forces continued its campaign to degrade Hezbollah in Lebanon on Saturday as it targeted command centers, weapons caches, tunnels and more, and as the military said it believed it had killed at least 440 Hezbollah operatives since the start of ground operations on Monday.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said in a statement that Israel “must continue exerting pressure on Hezbollah and creating additional and lasting damage to the enemy. Without relief and without allowing a respite for the organization.”

The army said on Saturday said it had struck Hezbollah operatives overnight in a command center embedded in a mosque in southern Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil, located within the Martyr Salah Ghandour Hospital compound. (Read more)

4.  Israel's UN Mission to mark one year since October 7 massacre - Israel National News

5. Gallant heads to US as Washington weighs in IDF strike on Iran - Jerusalem Post

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is set to visit Washington on Tuesday as the United States seeks to weigh in on the scope of Israel’s anticipated retaliatory strike against Iran. 

“Whoever thinks that a mere attempt to harm us will deter us from taking action, should take a look at [our achievements] in Gaza and Beirut,” Gallant said Sunday, less than a week after Iran attacked Israel with ballistic missiles.

“We are powerful in both defense and offense, and this will be reflected in the manner of our choosing, at the time and place of our choosing,” he said as he visited the Nevatim Air Force base. (Read more)

The Daily Brief
1. Bureaucrat Allegedly Threatens To Arrest Helicopter Pilot For Flying Unauthorized Rescue Flights In North Carolina- Daily Caller

A fire official allegedly threatened to arrest a South Carolina helicopter pilot who flew to Lake Lure, North Carolina, on Saturday morning to help rescue stranded Hurricane Helene victims, according to a report.

Jordan Seidhom and his son, Landon, were rescuing stranded Hurricane Helene victims in their private aircraft after the storm left much of Western North Carolina decimated, according to Queen City News. Despite previous successful rescues a day prior, and receiving approval from other local officials and volunteer firefighters, one official interrupted Seidhom’s efforts Sunday, and threatened to arrest him if he continued his operation, the outlet reported.

The pair reportedly rescued four individuals Saturday before spending the night in recliners at a local airport’s pilot lounge. They were determined to continue their recuse efforts and help a stranded couple they saw from the helicopter Sunday morning, however the plan took a turn for the worse, according to the outlet. Read more 

Lord, as the “bureaucrats” involved deny that this occurred, we ask that all officials involved be aware of the lack of government help to the people of this region and allow such flights to help. We pray for a move of repentance to bring compassion and understanding in the face of devastation. Let Your Holy Spirit become preeminent over the situation.

“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.” Acts 3:19

2. London Hands Over Important U.S. Military Base to China Ally - Breitbart
  

Britain’s left-wing government announced a plan on Thursday to surrender sovereignty of a British Overseas Territory in the Indian Ocean that has hosted an important joint U.S.-UK military base and listening post for the past 50 years.

The United Kingdom is giving the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, from whom it bought the archipelago in the 1960s. The announcement is the latest development in years of sovereignty claims by Mauritius, now drifting into China’s sphere of influence, which until recently were not even recognised as legitimate by the UK or its allies.

Just last week, President of Mauritius Prithvirajsing Roopun barracked the United Kingdom at the United Nations General Assembly, saying: “We urge the United Kingdom to conclude expeditiously an agreement.” Read more

Lord, we ask for Your protection over all US assets around the world, including those administered by other countries. We pray for wisdom and truth for these countries.  As Mauritius grows closer to China, we ask that all troops involved be under Your protection as the “agreements” go forward. If this action is not in Your perfect will, we pray that it be reversed.

 “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10

3. Firefighters Union Snubs Kamala Harris with Non-Endorsement After JD Vance Speech at Convention- Breitbart

The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) has snubbed the Harris-Walz ticket with a non-endorsement — news which comes after Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) spoke at their event in August.

IAFF President Edward Kelly made the announcement on Thursday following an executive board meeting, where the determination was made.

“Today, the IAFF Executive Board, by a margin of 1.2 percent, voted to not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election,” he announced, noting that IAFF took “unprecedented steps to hear out members’ views on the candidates and the policy issues that matter most to them” over the last year.

“As we have over our 106-year history, the IAFF will continue its work to improve the lives of firefighters and their families,” Kelly continued, contending that the Executive Board determined that “we are better able to advocate for our members and make progress on the issues that matter to them if we, as a union, are standing shoulder-to-shoulder.”

“This decision, which we took very seriously, is the best way to preserve and strengthen our unity,” he continued, encouraging members to get out and “make their voices heard in the upcoming election.” Read more

Lord, we thank You and pray that Your wisdom will prevail over all political decisions by different groups. We ask that those who hear about or see such decisions will understand the reasons and not be swayed into falsehoods.

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 1:22

4. Report: ‘Sinicization’ Policies in China See Crosses Removed from Churches, Mass Arrests, and Genocide- The Washington Stand

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is attempting to remake religious belief in its own image, according to a new report. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) published a report last week addressing the “sinicization of religion” policy enforced by the CCP, which includes mass arrests and the removal of religious imagery from churches.

“Sinicization, or the complete subordination of religious groups to the CCP’s political agenda and Marxist vision for religion, has become the core driving principle of the government’s management of religious affairs,” the report states. “Through regulations and state-controlled religious organizations, authorities incorporate CCP ideology into every facet of religious life for Buddhists, Catholic and Protestant Christians, Muslims, and Taoists. They also forcibly eradicate religious elements considered contradictory to the CCP’s political and policy agenda with ultranationalist overtones.”

“Sinicization is a political indoctrination process that embeds the CCP and its political ideology into every aspect of religious life, from the religious beliefs themselves to the physical structure of places of worship,” the report explains. It continues, “The goal of sinicization is to turn religious adherents and institutions into perfect vessels of the CCP, root out all perceived non-CCP influences — which the government often disparages as ‘foreign’ — and subdue ethnic minority communities through forced assimilation.”

Lord, we pray that Your Word will go forth to preserve Your people in the face of the Communist regime’s hatred. We ask that Your Spirit penetrate all religions and bring about a revival for Christians, and the face-up knowledge of Your love through repentance to all others.

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

5. Biden-Harris Admin Accused Of Deceiving America On Its Way To Freezing Gas Exports - Daily Caller
The Biden-Harris administration may have based its decision to freeze certain liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects upon a major act of deception, according to a government watchdog group.

The Department of Energy (DOE) announced the pause on new and pending approvals for certain LNG export terminals in January, stating that it must conduct a review of potential environmental, economic and security impacts of LNG exports to ensure that approving new capacity is still in the public interest. An ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) legal battle between the agency and an independent group called Government Accountability and Oversight (GAO) reveals that the administration may have actually conducted — or started to conduct — such a review in 2023 before effectively burying it because it may have been producing politically inconvenient conclusions, according to GAO.

If GAO is correct, the Biden-Harris administration essentially deceived the public in an election year to institute a policy that undermines American geopolitical interests, chills investment in domestic energy projects and greatly pleases the well-funded environmentalist lobby which is spending big to help Democrats in this election cycle. The DOE did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story. Read more

Lord of Justice, You are aware of the hearts of men, and You know the intents of all. We ask that You reveal all truth that is being hidden, and bring a move of repentance in great power to America.

“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8


6. EXCLUSIVE: They Watched Trump Get Shot In Butler. Now They Want to Sit As Close To Him As Possible.- Daily Wire

On Saturday evening, former President Donald Trump will take the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, the very spot where a gunman tried to end his life, killing a father and injuring two others. It is a bold, defiant gesture from a man who survived not one, but two recent assassination attempts — and it’s a gesture that his supporters intend to match.  

“That man stood there and took a bullet for us and stood up and told us to fight, and that’s exactly what I plan on doing,” Devin Dashnaw told The Daily Wire in a phone interview ahead of the rally. “If I could stand on stage right behind him, that’s where I would be.” 

The Daily Wire has learned that dozens of the rally goers who stood behind Trump as bullets flew are determined to once again flank the former president. Some of these supporters said they have been selected by the Trump campaign to sit behind the former president and to meet him after the rally. Some are excited, others are anxious, dwelling on the tragic death of Corey Comporatare on July 13, or scanning news reports about updated safety measures for Saturday.

All of them echo Dashnaw’s sentiment: they are going on Saturday, worried or not, to stand behind the man who stood up for them.

Father, we praise You for the resilience and courage of Donald Trump to face the very place where he could have lost his life. We thank You for the miracle that preserved him. We ask that for every rally, every campaign stop, You and Your Heavenly Host will go before and after him to keep him safe and prevent all who hate him from harming him or his family. As he stands before the thousands of people in the crowd that holds people from Texas, Idaho, and other states, we pray for Your wisdom and anointing to surround him.

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.”  Ephesians 5:15

 

Trump: Israel should attack Iranian nuclear facilities
"Hit the nuclear first, worry about the rest later," the Republican presidential candidate said. 

Israel should attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said during a campaign rally in North Carolina on Friday.

“That’s the first thing you want to hit. The answer should be: Hit the nuclear first, worry about the rest later,” said the former president in response to President Joe Biden’s statement on Wednesday that he does not support striking Iran’s nuclear facilities.

These remarks came after a senior U.S. State Department official told CNN that Israel had not provided any guarantees that a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, in response to the Iranian missile attacks on Israel, was off the table.

“We hope and expect to see some wisdom as well as strength,” said the official regarding the possibility of an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, adding, “but as you know, no guarantees.”

Elon Musk at Trump Rally: If You Don’t Vote ‘This Will Be the Last Election’
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk implored Trump supporters to vote at Saturday’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, saying, “This will be the last election” if they do not.

After Trump invited him on stage to speak, Musk declared that Trump must win the election to “preserve the Constitution” and “democracy” before calling on those at the rally and watching around the country to register to vote.

“This is a must-win situation. Must win. So I have one ask for everyone in the audience, everyone who watches this video, everyone on the live stream. It’s this one request. It’s very important: Register to vote,” Musk said, adding folks should ensure others they know are registered to vote as well.

“Text people now, now!” he said. “And then, make sure they actually do vote. If they don’t, this will be the last election. That’s my prediction. Nothing’s more important.” (Breitbart) Read more here. 
- "Father God, at this point we see that it is now "all hands on deck" for those who are going to vote for Elon Musk's candidate. We ask that Your people would rise up, creating a tsunami of energy and bringing many others to join them in voting and supporting for this candidate. Thank You, O Lord, for hearing our prayer. Amen and amen.

'Extreme impacts': Milton to become major hurricane, barrel ashore near Tampa Bay midweek

A state of emergency has been declared in Florida ahead of Milton, which is forecast to plow into the western peninsula on Wednesday as a major hurricane, packing wind gusts up to 140 mph and 15 feet of storm surge. As the extreme scope of Helene’s damage has become clearer in the days since the storm, AccuWeather is estimating total costs from the hurricane to exceed the GDP of the country of Hungary.

 

Just days after the devastating impacts of Hurricane Helene, another significant tropical threat to the U.S. is lurking in the Gulf of Mexico. AccuWeather hurricane experts are warning that Hurricane Milton will strengthen into a major hurricane and plow ashore in the west-central Florida peninsula later this week.

Impacts ranging from a devastating storm surge to major flooding from rain, damaging wind gusts, pounding surf and tornadoes are expected in Florida as Milton moves through during the middle of the week. Because of the risk, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency and is urging that preparations to protect life and property should begin immediately.

“This is an unusual and extremely concerning forecast track for a hurricane approaching the Tampa Bay area,” warned AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter. “Milton could rapidly intensify into a major hurricane with extreme impacts. This hurricane could create a life-threatening storm surge. Please make sure your family and in friends in this area are prepared." (Accuweather) Read more here. 
- Lord God Almighty, when will this stop? We ask that You decree a HALT to these neverending storms, even as the citizens of
Florida now prepare to be hit by Milton. We stand in repentance for our personal and national sins, asking Your divine forgiveness
of the same.

Father God, there are some who believe that these storms are not "natural," but instead are being generated by man-made devices (weather weapons) designed to do damage to our nation. Lord God, only You know the truth of this dangerous matter, so we come before Your Throne of Grace, asking for Your mercy in time of need. Holy One, in Your name, we lay axe to the root of these storms, and we say "No More!" in Your Mighty Name! Amen and amen!

- "“But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!”" (Matthew 8:27)

1. Trump in Michigan: If I Win America Will Enter ‘Golden Age,’ if Kamala Wins U.S. Enters ‘Dark Age’ - Breitbart

Former President Donald Trump is expected to say that America will enter a “Golden Age” if citizens vote for him in November, but the country will quickly descend into a “Dark Age” if Vice President Kamala Harris wins.

Trump, who is slated to speak at a rally in Saginaw, Michigan, around 3 p.m., is expected to highlight the failures of the Biden-Harris administration, asking “every citizen across our land to join me in launching a new Golden Age for America.”

“As catastrophic as Kamala Harris’s failures have been, we have a plan to fix it, and fix it fast,” Trump is expected to say, previewing an America with “soaring incomes, skyrocketing wealth, millions of new jobs, and a booming middle class,” as well as a “manufacturing renaissance.” (Read more)

Tropical Storm Milton expected to strengthen into a major hurricane and target Florida
A dangerous, damaging and disruptive situation will unfold in Florida this week as Tropical Storm Milton is forecast to evolve into a major hurricane and deliver flooding downpours.

Even as Hurricane Helene was pressing toward the Florida coast, AccuWeather's team of expert meteorologists had been monitoring part of the Gulf of Mexico for yet another round of tropical trouble. On Saturday afternoon, Tropical Storm Milton formed, just hours after becoming a tropical depression, and it was expected to intensify and strike the Florida Peninsula this week as a major hurricane, with torrential rain, wind and the likelihood of flooding.

Thunderstorms have been persistently erupting in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico for the past few days. AccuWeather began to refer to the system as a tropical rainstorm late in the week to raise public awareness of the risk to lives and property and to assist in planning and preparation.

As Milton continues to churn over the warm Gulf waters over the next several days, it is expected to strengthen into a major, Category 3 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale) before making landfall near Tampa Bay, Florida, on Wednesday. Read More
