The Daily Brief - Tuesday, November 8, 2011
"Your watchmen shall lift up their voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion." (Isaiah 52:8)
The Daily Brief
1. Obama Opposes FDR Prayer at WWII Memorial - Fox News
Republican lawmakers and conservative activists are expressing outrage after Obama announced its objection to adding President Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. More and more real Americans are saying that he is a pathetic. (Real Americans = born in the U.S. with real U.S. birth certificates)
- We are sorry for the Obama's position and ask for a change of heart to include prayer for the World War II Memorial. Bless those who have taken a stand to honor those who have fought for liberty for us. May this honor of You who gives us true liberty be included as well in this memorial. We are thankful for those who have fought for our liberty.
- Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (2 Corinthians 3:17)
2. U.S. Approaches $15 Trillion Debt Limit - ABC News
It will be the latest sobering economic milestone that few were hoping to see: The U.S. national debt -- any day now -- will soar above the $15 trillion mark.
- Lord, we pray for a spiritual and an economic turnaround and provision for our nation. Please give our leaders wisdom in how to deal with this debt.
- Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God. (Romans 11:33)
3. UN report 'to suggest Iran nuclear weapons work' - BBC
The UN's atomic watchdog is planning to reveal evidence that Iran has been working secretly to develop a nuclear weapons capability, diplomats say.
- Lord, may the truth of Iran's nuclear plans be revealed, and may weapons not be developed to bring harm to Israel and other countries. We pray for peaceful solutions.
- If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. (Romans 12:18)
4. Weighing Pentagon Cuts, Panetta Faces Deep Pressures - New York Times
Under orders to cut the Pentagon budget by more than $450 billion over the next decade, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta is considering reductions in spending categories once thought sacrosanct, especially in medical and retirement benefits, as well as further shrinking the number of troops and reducing new weapons purchases.
- Lord, we pray that no weapon formed against our military and troops shall prosper. We pray for the Defense Secretary and leadership to make right choices. We also pray for needed provision to be released.
- No weapon formed against you shall prosper. (Isaiah 54:17)
5. Quarter-Mile-Wide Asteroid Coming Close to Earth - Weather.com
Closest approach will occur at 6:28 p.m. EST Tuesday when the asteroid passes within 202,000 miles of Earth. That's closer than the roughly 240,000 miles between the Earth and the moon.
-Thank You Lord, for our protection from harmful things out of the skies and for your mercy. You are our shield. In the name of Jesus we pray, and give thanks for your faithfulness.
- I am your shield. (Genesis 15:1)
The Middle East in Focus
This week, for all the headlines cited below, please join us in proclaiming THIS DECREE:
There's no one like your God, Jeshurun! He rides through the heavens to help you. In majesty he rides through the clouds. The eternal God is your shelter, and his everlasting arms support you. He will force your enemies out of your way and tell you to destroy them. So Israel will live securely. Jacob's spring will be left alone in a land of grain and new wine. Dew will drip from Israels skies. You are blessed, Israel! Who is like you, a nation saved by the Lord. He is a shield that helps you and a sword that wins your victories. Your enemies will come crawling to you,and you will stomp on their backs. (Deuteronomy 33:26-29)
1. Barak: Israel has not yet decided on military operation against Iran - Haaratz
Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Tuesday played down speculation that Israel intended to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, saying it had not decided to embark on any military operation.
2. Israel to Experience Complete Annihilation before Attacking Iran - Fars News Agency
A senior Iranian parliamentary official described the recent threats by the US and Israel against Iran as "foolish" remarks, and warned that friends and allies of the Islamic Revolution would destroy Israel before it can make the slightest military move against Iran.
3. Israel's economy to be paralyzed if general strike opens as planned - Haaratz
Proposed strike would cost the Israeli economy an estimated NIS 330 million a day; airports, banks, railway and all government offices would shut down.
Israel's main labor union is planning a strike that would shut airports, ports, banks and the stock market starting on Monday, after talks with the government failed to produce an agreement over the status of workers employed through labor contractors.
The Daily Jot
What appears to be, is not
It is becoming increasingly clear that the man who occupies the Oval Office is linked to the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. On October 18 he told ABC News, "The most important thing we can do right now is those of us in leadership letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side, and that we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, doing what you're supposed to do, is rewarded. And that people who are irresponsible, who are reckless, who don't feel a sense of obligation to their communities and their companies and their workers that those folks aren't rewarded." The question is what "system" does the Occupier in Chief have in mind?
If you are known by the company you keep, there are definite clues to the answer. The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement is endorsed by the Communist Party USA, the Nazi Party, labor unions, Islamic groups, even Iran's terrorist sponsoring "president" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Former organizers of the president's banned community organization group, ACORN, are part of the OWS leadership. Former and unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers is advising the Chicago chapter. Socialist George Soros funneled money to OWS through the leftist Tide Foundation. Soros-funded socialist economist Joseph Stiglitz is teaching OWS members about the global economy. But, wait, there's more...
Amidst all the signs that say "destroy capitalism," "capitalism doesn't work," "America failed because of Christians," there is yet another sign. At Zuccotti Park in New York and at other OWS camps, Guy Fawkes masks are worn by Occupy protesters who are self-proclaimed anarchists.
News stories say the masks have become the symbol of the OWS movment. Fawkes was a terrorist who tried to bomb British Parliament on November 5, 1605. He has become the symbol of revolution. Moreover, Zuccotti Park is owned by Brookfield Properties. Police will not remove the protestors unless Brookfield requests it. A major stockholder in Brookfield is George Soros.
Classic communistic tactics are to use the ill-informed to create crisis to maintain power. Isn't it interesting that top 2008 contributors to the president were Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley, totaling over $3.9 million? Soros contributed tens of thousands to the president's campaign through many organizations. While OWS is employing classical communistic revolutionary strategy for the president, there is ample evidence they are being duped. These are indeed perilous times where what appears to be is not, and what is, is not what it appears to be. Jesus said in Luke 19:13, "Occupy till I come." This parable meant that we be actively faithful to the tenets of the Christian faith until his return.

Obama Criticizes National Motto
Obama criticizes "In God We Trust" vote in speech given at base of Francis Scott Key Bridge
On Tuesday, November 1st, the House voted overwhelmingly to reaffirm our national motto "In God We Trust" and to support and encourage its public display. Obama criticized the vote the next day in a speech given at the base of the Key Bridge in Washington, DC. The location of the President's speech was ironic, as the bridge is named for Francis Scott Key, the author of the "Star Spangled Banner." Key wrote the poem, which later became our national anthem, while watching the British bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. The fourth verse contains the stanza, "And this be our motto-'In God is our trust.'"
Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Cross Case
Supreme Court will not hear roadside cross memorial case; Justice Thomas dissents
The Supreme Court declined to hear a case brought by the American Atheists challenging the constitutionality of crosses placed on Utah roadsides to honor fallen state troopers. The Utah Highway Patrol Association asked the Supreme Court to hear the case after the Tenth Circuit held that the crosses violated the Establishment Clause. With Utah's permission, a private nonprofit organization placed the cross memorials at sites where state troopers were killed in the line of duty. The Supreme Court's decision declining the case means that the Tenth Circuit's decision will stand. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented from the Court's denial of the case saying, "Today the Court rejects an opportunity to provide clarity to an Establishment Clause jurisprudence in shambles." He continued, "It is difficult to imagine an area of the law more in need of clarity."
FCC Rules May Strangle Christian TV
FCC change may require churches to provide closed captioning on TV broadcasts.
In 2006, the FCC exempted hundreds of churches from being required to provide closed captioning on their TV broadcasts. On October 20th, the FCC rescinded the blanket exemption and will now require the churches to either provide the service or reapply for individual exemptions within 90 days. The FCC will still grant waivers, but churches will be required to show that providing closed captioning would cause economic hardship, and each application will be considered on a case-by-case basis. (POLITICO) Read more.
- Ask the LORD to cause the FCC to show favor and mercy to the Christian broadcasters that will apply to have this ruilng rescinded again in the 90-day period provided. Pray!
- "When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him . . . " (Proverbs 16:7)
GOOD NEWS ON 11-11-11!!
Many of you have received lots of news about the plans of the enemy on 11-11-11. We do not doubt any of these reports, but . . .
OUR GOD IS GREATER!!
. . . because, it is written, " . . . where sin abounded, grace abounded much more." (Romans 5:20)
On Friday, November 11, 2011, the LORD is causing HIS GRACE to abound in the NORTH, SOUTH, EAST and WEST of our nation, through the praises and the worship of His saints, gathered together in four cities:
TO THE NORTH:
Lou Engle is calling God's people to pray at THE CALL DETROIT: 11-11-11 Transformation Michigan.
"And shall god not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him." (Luke 18:7)
On November 11-12, 2011, thousands from across America will gather to Detroit to fast, pray and cry out to God. To learn more about THECALL DETROIT, go here.**

AND TO THE WEST:
Churches from across the state have joined together to fill the Rose Bowl on 11-11-11.

IN SUMMARY: It is written: "So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him." (Isaiah 59:19)
GOD IS ABOUT TO RAISE A CANOPY OF PRAISE ACROSS OUR LAND, FROM THE NORTH . . . TO THE SOUTH . . . TO THE EAST . . . TO THE WEST . . . FLOODING OUR NATION WITH HIS GLORY THROUGH THE PRAISES OF HIS PEOPLE.
LET US NOT STAND IN FEAR OF WHAT 11-11-11 MAY BRING, BUT . . .
LET'S GIVE HIM THE GLORY FOR WHAT HE IS ABOUT TO DO, FOR HE IS MORE THAN ABLE TO TURN THE TIDE AGAINST THE ENEMY, AND TO DELIVER ALL OF US INTO HIS GLORIOUS LIGHT AND INTO HIS GLORIOUS KINGDOM!!!
Shalom . . .
Shalom . . .
Shalom . . .
Peace!
( In addition to the four cities listed here, there are indeed many other sites across the nation where brothers and sisters in the Lord will gather to praise Him, to honor Him, and to lift up His Holy Name.
We ask His Hand of Blessing to rest upon each and every assembly that Abba will gather on 11-11-11, a day that truly belongs to Him.)
** [Please note, too: we do not have the exact location for TheCallDetroit. If any of you can send it in, we will get that information out to you later this week.

A GOOD PROPHETIC WORD FOR NOW!
You are about to see the patterns that have been declared and were founded in the heavens be established upon this earth. In the very midst of this there will continue to be a shaking and all that can be shaken will be shaken and those things that are not shaken will remain so receive My kingdom, be established in my anointing and walk in the grace of My love. I am calling forth My remnant to start the restoration process, it is a necessary process so that the greater work may be manifest says the Lord. Know that if the foundations be truth, the building will stand because it bears My word and is founded upon My name.
