Israel’s ambassador to UN detained after leaving General Assembly to protest Iranian president’s speech
|
|
|
Raisi’s presence at UN General Assembly drew protesters outside hall
|
|
United Nations security personnel on Tuesday detained Israel’s ambassador to the U.N. shortly after he left the General Assembly Hall to protest a speech by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
It was not clear why he was being detained, though he was later released. Fox News Digital has reached out to the U.N. for comment. The ambassador told Fox News Digital he was detained with "unacceptable" brutality.
Before storming out of the General Assembly Hall, Gilad Erdan held up a picture of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian woman who was brutally murdered last year by the country’s so-called morality police for not properly wearing her hijab. Amini’s murder sparked waves of protest across the Islamic Republic, which were met with brutal repression.
"The U.N.'s lost moral compass was on full display today," Erdan said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Being detained for standing with the Iranian people and protesting a vile mass murderer who was given an audience on the global stage is utterly disgraceful. It is yet another example of the strong bias Israel suffers at the U.N. Other ambassadors have previously held signs for ideological reasons, including in recent sessions on the war in Ukraine, with no repercussions. I will not be deterred and will always stand up for what is right and just." (Fox News) Read more here.

- Abba, the United Nations has once again shown the truth of where it stands between good and evil. We ask you to speak to the hearts and minds of those in our government who are responsible for our participation, open their eyes and understanding to the reality of what we are aligning ourselves with as a nation. We ask Holy Spirit to invade the minds and hearts of foreign diplomats who speak disrespectfully of our country and leaders, may the fear of the Lord silence them. We ask for a mighty move of your hand at the UN, changing minds and drawing those who do not know you into your Kingdom, adopting them as sons and daughters. Take away all fear and sorrow, replace them with joy unspeakable and a deep intimacy with you. We ask this in the name Adonai, the God of majesty, respect and authority.
- "But the one in heaven laughs.
The Lord scoffs at them.
Then in anger he rebukes them,
terrifying them with his fierce fury."
(Psalm 1:4-5)

Mexico railway halts train operations after viral video showing migrants riding to the US
|
|
|
Migrants have long used trains, known collectively as 'The Beast,' to hitch rides to the US border
|
|
A Mexican railway company has halted operations after a video showing migrants packed into freight cars riding into the U.S. went viral earlier this week, citing safety concerns for those climbing aboard.
Ferromex railway announced Tuesday that it would temporarily suspend trains running in the northern part of the country as migrants are getting hurt in the process of climbing aboard the freight cars.
"There has been a significant increase in the number of migrants in recent days," Ferromex said in a statement, adding that it was stopping the trains "to protect the physical safety of the migrants" while it awaited action by governing authorities and law enforcement to solve the larger issue.
The company specifically cited about a "half-dozen regrettable cases of injuries or deaths" caused by migrants hopping onto freight cars in recent days. It also said some migrants were jumping onto moving freight cars "despite the grave danger that represents." (Fox News) Read more here.

- Thank You, Lord, that this train service has been stopped! We pray that You would raise up circumstances like this to stop the influx of illegal immigrants that our government will not do. We pray for the deception to be lifted that people are under to risk life, limb, and fortunes to come here. We pray for more and more cooperation from the Mexican government concerning this matter and that all governments will make changes in the lives of their collective citizens that will make life much better where they live. Lord of Glory, we ask that You remove our government leaders who are a hindrance in this area and replace them with those who have the mind of Christ. We especially pray that these wandering masses will find peace in staying in the countries that You have placed them in and will seek You and Your Kingdom ways to establish governments that are not oppressive.
- "Young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing." (Psalms 34:10)

I have reported numerous times regarding the “Silence Procedure.”
Under this procedure, a draft resolution is circulated to Member States with a timeline to respond. If a country supports a resolution, it does nothing. If it opposes a resolution, it sends an email breaking silence. Just one such action stops the adoption of the resolution and could trigger an extension of time for revisions or to resolve the objections.
Eleven countries have formally objected to the political declarations that were scheduled to be adopted during the High Level Meetings (HLM) at the annual United Nations General Assembly.It seems that they have “broken the silence.”
The objections were conveyed in a letter dated 17 September 2023 to the President of the UN General Assembly H.E. Dennis Francis that was signed by the permanent representatives of the following countries:
-
Belarus
-
Bolivia
-
Cuba
-
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
-
Eritrea
-
Islamic Republic of Iran
-
Nicaragua
-
Russian Federation
-
Syrian Arab Republic
-
Venezuela
-
Zimbabwe
Our delegations are convinced that this is no way to handle multilateral and intergovernmental negotiations on issues of great relevance for the international community, particularly for developing countries.

1. Netanyahu tells Biden: Peace with Saudi Arabia possible under your leadership - Jerusalem Post
Israel wants to see many safeguards put in place to ensure that Saudi Arabia’s civilian nuclear program can't be weaponized, a senior Israeli official told reporters in Washington on Wednesday.
“Israel and the United States have the same position” on the nuclear aspect of the deal, the official said, adding that Israel doesn’t plan to back down from its principled points of concern.
The official spoke after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden met in New York amid a push for a security pact between Washington and Riyadh that would include a normalization deal with Israel. (Read more here)

2. MK Avi Maoz: 'Take a break from the reform, cost of living is top priority' - Israel National News
Noam chairman and Deputy Minister MK Avi Maoz claims that the coalition should slow the pace of promoting judicial reform legislation and focus on the most crucial matter for the public – the cost of living.
"We need to take a break from the judicial reform and deal exclusively with the cost of living. It is hurting the weaker sectors. We have three more years to deal with this, and in the meantime, it’s ridiculous that a young family with two children pays about NIS 8,000 every month in daycare. This should be our main concern ", said Maoz in an interview with Israel National News-Arutz Sheva.
Maoz believes the scenes of the protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to the US are unnecessary. “I am upset with the protests in the US. We should not hang our dirty laundry outside. The MKs and politicians understood that the Prime Minister should not be attacked when he is on a political mission to another country. I call on the Leftist supporters to drop the demonstrations against Prime Minister Netanyahu in the US." (Read more)

3. Israel’s UN Ambassador Detained by Police After Protesting Iranian President’s General Assembly Speech - Algemeiner
Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan was detained by UN police on Tuesday after protesting Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s address to the international body’s General Assembly in New York.
Video provided to The Algemeiner by Israel’s mission in New York showed one uniformed and one plain-clothed security officer from the UN’s Department for Safety and Security gripping Erdan by the elbow and leading him out of the General Assembly hall after Erdan had protested Raisi’s speech by holding a sign saying, “Iranian women deserve freedom now!”
“It is a disgrace that member states stay to listen to a mass murderer,” Erdan said in a statement. “It should not be possible for a murderer with blood on his hands to receive a platform here at the UN. I left the speech to make it clear that the State of Israel stands by the Iranian people. I call on the international community to stop the madness and prevent murderers and antisemites from coming and speaking here at the UN.” (Read more)

4. Gaza man carries butcher’s knife into Tel Aviv train station - World Israel News
A Palestinian from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip was arrested on Wednesday at the Tel Aviv Savidor Central railway station while in possession of a 30-cm. (11.8-inch) butcher’s knife.
The 35-year-old man is a resident of Jabaliya and had a permit to work in Israel, according to police.
Authorities said the suspect tried to hide the knife in a bag he was carrying but security guards spotted him at the entrance to the station.
Also on Wednesday, the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) said that Hamas was behind the attempt earlier this month to smuggle explosives from Gaza into Israel in a shipment of clothing. (Read more)

5. Airport Authority: GPS jamming is forcing planes to land using alternative routes - Times of Israel
Incessant GPS interference by unknown forces has recently forced planes landing at Ben Gurion Airport to use alternate routes over West Bank settlements in recent months, the Israel Airports Authority said Wednesday.
The cryptic IAA statement came in response to complaints by the Binyamin Regional Council in the West Bank on behalf of its residents — particularly from those living in the settlement of Hashmonaim — over intolerable noise from planes constantly passing above.
“In recent months, the State of of Israel has experienced non-stop GPS jamming from unknown sources, likely from outside the country,” Iris Raz, head of the environmental and engineering division of the IAA wrote, adding that planes are often unable to land using the usual approach. (Read more)

1. Child poverty in the U.S. jumped and income declined in 2022 as coronavirus pandemic benefits ended - The Washington Times
Child poverty in the United States more than doubled and median household income declined last year when coronavirus pandemic-era government benefits expired and inflation kept rising, according to figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
At the same time, the official poverty rate for Black Americans dropped to its lowest level on record, and income inequality declined for the first time since 2007, when looking at pre-tax income, due to income declines in the middle and top income brackets.
However, income inequality increased when using after-tax income, another result of the end of pandemic-era tax credits, according to Census Bureau reports on income, poverty and health insurance. (Read more)
- Lord, our nation is being irresponsible with the money we have earned through the abilities and opportunities You have given us. We have wasted much of it or used it for purposes outside of legitimate and wise boundaries for government. Forgive us, Lord, and forgive each of us when we exhibit similar behavior in our personal stewardship of Your money. Help us to be wise with our finances, and with the people we elect to steward our tax dollars.

2. GOP presidential hopefuls clash over abortion policy - WORLD
Former President Donald Trump took on his leading rival for the Republican presidential nomination during a Sunday interview with Meet the Press. When asked about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ heartbeat law, which protects children from abortion after six weeks in the womb, Trump called the measure “a terrible thing and a terrible mistake.”
The former president also said that Republicans will lose votes if they don’t allow loopholes for abortion in cases of rape, incest, and for the mother’s health. Trump stayed mum on his opinion about federal legislation to protect unborn children and said he could “live with” states implementing their own pro-life laws.
How are other Republican primary candidates responding? Former Vice President Mike Pence released a statement to The New York Times on Sunday morning, saying Trump “continues to walk away from the pro-life legacy of our administration.” DeSantis spokesman Andrew Romeo said Trump’s “compromising with Democrats” already resulted in $7 trillion in new debt, an unfinished border wall, and federal soft-on-crime legislation. (Read more)
- Heavenly Father, You are the Author of life. You intended for the government to protect the innocent. Help us to remember that this battle for the unborn is Your battle. We look to You as we attempt to change minds, hearts, and laws. Give us wisdom and boldness and let us fear You alone.
- “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to depart from evil is understanding.’” (Job 28:28)

3. Hundreds of students baptized after worship service on Auburn college campus - The Denison Forum
Auburn University is the second-largest university in Alabama. Known for its football team and fierce cross-state rivalry with the University of Alabama, the school is making news these days for a completely different reason.
Local ministries became involved and sponsored a worship event last week which around five thousand people attended.
Following the service, a student wanted to be baptized. Crowds then began gathering at a nearby lake, where roughly two hundred people gave their lives to Christ and were baptized. Auburn Tigers head football coach Hugh Freeze, a very public Christian, helped with the baptisms. Now other universities are calling to bring similar programs to their campuses.
One student said she had never seen anything like the mass baptism: “Never in my life. I was even talking to adults who were there that were a part of it, and they said that they had never witnessed anything like that.” (Read more)
- Lord God, we praise you for these new believers joining the body of Christ! We are so thankful for all the local ministries who were led by your Spirit to put on these events that led to this mass salvation. We pray Lord, that all of these people get plugged into a local church or Bible study, where they can be discipled to continue to grow in You. We, as members of that body, have the responsibility to encourage and pray for them. So we pray Colossians 1: 1-14 over them.
- “filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy…”

4. American Citizen Journalist Sitting in Ukraine Prison, State Dept. Confirms, as Biden Begs for Billions More to Protect Ukrainian ‘Freedom’ - Brietbart
While lawmakers on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. debate sending billions more in military aid to Ukraine, an American citizen journalist, Gonzalo Lira, is languishing in a Ukrainian prison on allegations of spreading Russian propaganda, throwing into question the status of free speech in the supposed democracy the Biden administration argues is worthy of more taxpayer dollars.
The Biden administration is asking Congress to approve another $24 billion for Ukraine for now through the end of this year, which would add to the $113 billion that Congress has committed to the country since its war with Russia began in February of last year.
However, the administration has been much less vocal about Ukraine potentially violating the rights of an American journalist who is currently detained in Ukraine for his reporting; and in a speech at the U.N. almost entirely devoted to Ukraine, the status of Gonzalo Lira was not mentioned once by Biden. (Read more)
- Lord God, according to the Ukrainian indictment against this journalist, he has been put in prison for discussing publicly known facts about the war—the epitome of free speech in a democracy. We pray for his safety. We pray that the truth will continue to be revealed about the Ukrainian and Russian war, as well as our government in America as we continue to send money over there. We pray that the truth will be revealed, justice would be done, and that our leaders will do the right thing in standing up for free-speech. In Jesus name amen.
- "Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die."
(Proverbs 31:8)

5. The Members of a New DHS 'Intelligence Group' Should Set Off Alarm Bells - Town Hall
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced a new Homeland Security Intelligence Experts Group Tuesday and its 17 members. "Experts Group to provide advice and perspectives on intelligence and national security efforts to the Office of Intelligence and Analysis and the Office of Counterterrorism Coordinator to support DHS’ vital work to protect our country," DHS released in a statement.
Two of the members are former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan. Clapper and Brennan were both key individuals who pushed the false Russia narrative during the Trump administration, claiming the 2016 election was stolen and claimed Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation" just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.
Clapper lied under oath during congressional testimony about the federal government spying on American citizens. Brennan called Trump a traitor, implying he should be put to death. (Read more)
- Lord God, we pray that the Biden administration and the department of homeland security would seek your wisdom and your counsel when picking members of their team for counterterrorism measures. James Clapper and John Brennan have both betrayed the American people, and we need people who care about this country and its citizens in such high-level positions like these. In Jesus name amen.
- “Many plans are in a man’s heart,
But the counsel of the Lord will stand.” (Proverbs 19:21)

6. Judge rejects Hunter Biden bid to appear in court virtually for gun case hearing - Just The News
federal judge on Wednesday rejected a bid from Hunter Biden to appear a court hearing virtually as part of a federal prosecution over gun charges.
"In the end, the Court agrees with both Defendant … and the Government … that Defendant should not receive special treatment in this matter – absent some unusual circumstance, he should be treated just as would any other defendant in our Court," wrote Magistrate Judge Christopher J. Burke, according to CNN. "Any other defendant would be required to attend his or her initial appearance in person. So too here."
The younger Biden is slated to appear in court next Tuesday, where he will be arraigned. Special counsel David Weiss, who has indicted the first son last week for allegedly falsifying a gun application, had objected to his request. (Read more)
- Lord God, we continue to cover this case in the blood of Jesus. We command anything hindering justice, or continued exposure of this corruption, to cease and desist in the mighty name of Jesus. We thank you, Lord, that truth will win out, and justice will be served and the corruption will no longer be allowed to work in our government, in Jesus' name, amen.
- “In your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.” (Psalm 45:4)

7. Gaetz asks Garland if he's 'confident' Hunter Biden is no longer selling 'appearance of access' to hisdad - Just The News
House GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz on Wednesday pressed Attorney General Merrick Garland on whether he was "confident" first son Hunter Biden, the subject of a Justice Department case, has stopped selling the "appearance of access" to his father President Joe Biden.
Garland responded during the House Judiciary Committee hearing that he would not comment on the matter and that he does not intend to interfere with the department's investigation of the first son.
The question by the Florida lawmaker came early in a hearing on whether, or what extent, the department, under Garland's leadership, has become "politicized and weaponized." Gaetz also pointed out Hunter Biden's art career flourished after his father became president.
Near the start of the hearing, Garland was asked by Louisiana GOP Rep. Mike Johnson whether he had any "personal contact with anyone at FBI headquarters about the Hunter Biden investigation?"
Garland replied: "I don't recollect the answer to that question, but the FBI works for the Justice Department." (Read more)
- Lord God, we continue to cover this investigation in prayer. We thank You for those that are choosing to stand up for righteousness and justice, and we ask You to bring down those that are using and abusing their position of power for their own personal gain. We declare that those involved with these lies will be held accountable, in Jesus name, amen.
- “Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.” (Psalm 37:7)

8. Government shutdown? Republicans clash over spending bill, want to ban federal weaponization - Just The News
Congressional Republicans seek to use appropriations bills to end what many call "the weaponization of the federal government" as they clash over a spending measure that could lead to a government shutdown.
Some House Republicans are seeking to pass a continuing resolution for the federal budget to prevent a government shutdown on Oct. 1, as members from both the House Freedom Caucus and Main Street Caucus negotiated a proposal to reduce discretionary spending by 8%.
According to the continuing resolution, which would fund the federal government until Oct. 31, there would be an 8.1285% reduction in discretionary spending, specifically for all the federal agencies except the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs departments.
In June, a debt limit deal became law with provisions that if all 12 appropriations bills are not passed by Jan. 1, 2024, then there would be a 1% cut to the federal budget. The House has passed one bill but none have passed the Senate. (Read more)
- We plead the blood of Jesus over the House of Representatives right now. We loose the spirit of unity over that place so that all representatives would be united in one cause: which is the betterment of America and its citizens. Lord God, this includes protecting us and doing what is right in your eyes O God! We pray that all representatives would lay aside any evil agenda, and seek you and your face for this country. In Jesus' name, amen.
- “I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.” (1 Corinthians 1:10)

Stupidocrisy: Believing The Propaganda
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, September 20, 2023
If you watch any television at all, you can see that Pfizer and Moderna have plenty of money to spend in prime time to tell about their new COVID approach, which is mixed with images of how much they really care about our personal well being. Their bank accounts before COVID were reportedly headed quick to disaster, but the mRNA COVID shot rescued them and put them in good financial health. No more is this apparent than the questionable government-big pharma partnership that fuels this propaganda. Just last week the Food and Drug Administration approved the new shots and the Centers for Disease Control authorized Moderna and Pfizer to make them publicly available. Now we all can live another year.
Joe Biden even got in on the act. In a statement from the White House on September 12, Biden said, “Since entering office, my Administration has made historic progress in our ability to manage COVID-19 so that it no longer meaningfully disrupts our lives. Today marks another important milestone. Following an independent scientific review, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have now authorized, approved, and recommended everyone 6 months and older get an updated COVID-19 vaccine to protect against serious illness this fall and winter…As we head into fall and winter, we are in our strongest position yet with more tools and systems available than ever before – including safe and effective vaccines, widely available at-home tests, and effective treatments.” Read More

Jim Jordan grills AG Garland over allowing Hunter Biden's potential Burisma charges to 'lapse'
|

|
|
Jordan says Hunter Biden's alleged Burisma crimes go 'right to the White House'
|
|
|
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan laid into Attorney General Merrick Garland in a Wednesday hearing, demanding to know why the Justice Department had allowed potential charges against Hunter Biden to lapse.
The Ohio Republican highlighted Hunter's business dealings with Burisma, a company in Ukraine, and noted that the DOJ had allowed the statute of limitations to lapse on any potential tax crimes Hunter may have committed during that time. Garland refused to answer Jordan's questions directly, instead deflecting to future statements by Special Counsel David Weiss.
Jordan recited the facts leading up to the case, that Hunter had taken a lucrative position at Burisma he was not qualified for, and that Burisma executives had told him they were "under pressure." He then asserted that President Biden, then Vice President, moved to get a prosecutor looking into the company fired.
"That all happened. What I'm wondering is why you guys let the statute of limitations lapse for those tax years that dealt with Burisma income?" Jordan asked.
"There's one more fact that's important, and that is that this investigation was being conducted by Mr. Weiss, an appointee of President Trump. You will, at the appropriate time, have the opportunity to ask Mr. Weiss that question and he will no doubt address it in the public report that will be transmitted to the Congress," Garland responded.
"Did they forget? Did the lawyers just, like, oh, darn we let it — were they careless?" Jordan pressed.
"I expect that won't be what he says, but because I promised—" Garland said before being cut off. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Abba, we ask your forgiveness for allowing our nation to be taken over by lawlessness and deception. Forgive us for allowing fear of man to silence us, to make us hide instead of standing up and speaking your truth into our circumstances. We ask Holy Spirit to come and break out in our churches, renew our hope and teach us to walk in the power you gave us to save, to heal, to deliver. Restore our faith and trust in your promises, to take you at your word. Remind us to declare your promises over our families, churches, and our nation. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen

New discoveries off Egyptian coast reveal
‘treasures and secrets’
|
|
|
(CNN) — New “treasures and secrets” have been revealed at the site of a sunken temple off Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, the European Institute for Underwater Archaeology (IEASM) announced in a news release Tuesday.
An underwater archaeological team, led by French marine archaeologist Franck Goddio, has made further discoveries at the site of a temple to god Amun in the ancient port city of Thonis-Heracleion in the Bay of Aboukir, the institute said.
The team investigated the city’s south canal, where huge blocks of stone from the ancient temple collapsed “during a cataclysmic event dated to the mid-second century BC,” the institute said.
The temple to god Amun was where pharaohs came “to receive the titles of their power as universal kings from the supreme god of the ancient Egyptian pantheon,” it said.
“Precious objects belonging to the temple treasury have been unearthed, such as silver ritual instruments, gold jewelry and fragile alabaster containers for perfumes or unguents,” IEASM said. “They bear witness to the wealth of this sanctuary and the piety of the former inhabitants of the port city.”
The archaeological excavations, conducted jointly by Goddio’s team and the Department of Underwater Archaeology of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Egypt, revealed underground structures “supported by very well-preserved wooden posts and beams dating from the 5th century BC,” the institute said.

Israel Pro-Life Leaders, Lay People to Gather
at First National Prayer Event for Unborn
During ‘Ten Days of Awe’
|
|
JERUSALEM, Israel – Pro-life leaders in Israel will hold a first-ever "National Prayer for Life" event in central Israel this Friday during the "Ten Days of Awe" between the Jewish Feast of Trumpets holiday and the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, which begins Sunday evening. It's estimated that 1 in every 5 pregnancies in Israel ends in abortion, and that prompted Messianic and Evangelical Jewish leaders to call pastors and lay people to central Israel for a collective act of repentance and petition on behalf of the nation for abortion, which was legalized in 1977, but has been practiced since the founding of the modern state. Sandy Shoshani, the director of Be'ad Chaim in Jerusalem, one of the few pro-life groups in the country, was one of the event's chief organizers. She told All Israel News that the Ten Days of Awe is an important time to bring the matter before the Lord. “We urge the Body of Messiah to stand with us in the gap for the unborn during these next 10 days," she said.
Shoshani added, “We repent for the shedding of the innocent blood of two million babies in the Land of Israel since its establishment as a State. We beseech the God of Heaven to protect these vulnerable little ones. We pray for restoration for all those who suffer guilt and shame as a result of abortions. And we ask the Lord to rescue those who are being led away to death, and save those who stumble toward slaughter.” Organizers have also produced a prayer guide for the 10 days, suggesting scriptures and areas for prayer. Event leaders hope to enlist support from both Jewish and Arab congregations in the land. All Israel News quoted Orit Kramer, who leads a pro-life ministry in Haifa with her husband called A Future and a Hope, who cited Proverbs 16:7, “When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even our enemies to be at peace with us.” (CBN) Read More

- Father, have mercy upon us as we pray against the demonic-sin of abortion that has defiled the nations. Hear the prayers of Your People as we bring repentant hearts before Your Holy Throne. Our hearts are broken before You and we pray for a realignment to Your Holy Ways, not only for Israel and America but around the world. Forgive us, Abba. May all repentance prayers lifted for "National Prayer for Life" be a sweet fragrant offering to You. In the merciful and mighty name of Jesus Christ-Amen.

All the way my Savior leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,

Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.
All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way.
