The Daily Brief -Thursday, April 19, 2012
"And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD." (Psalm 27:6)
The Daily Brief
1. TransCanada submits new Keystone XL pipeline plan - Fox News
For the first time since President Obama issued a controversial order halting its progress, the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline is once again on track for bureaucratic review after TransCanada submitted a new route through Nebraska designed to avoid environmentally sensitive areas.
- Lord, we ask that this pipeline be allowed to traverse the US to bring the much needed source of energy.
- "You have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor as in the day of Midian." [Isaiah 9:4]
2. Three agents forced out of US Secret Service over prostitute scandal - UK Telegraph
Three US Secret Service agents have been removed from the agency in the wake of allegations that they were involved in hiring prostitutes ahead of an international summit in Colombia.
- Father, we again repent of the sins that have beset our government. We ask for Your mercy over these men and those like them. We pray for a move of Your Holy Spirit for conversion of hearts and minds.
- "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:17)
3. Pentagon chief: 'We're within an inch of war almost every day' -The Hill
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta offered a blunt assessment of the threats facing the United States on Wednesday, saying the potential for another war breaking out remains high in places like North Korea.
- Lord, we ask for Your mighty protection over America, as defense spending is slashed at a time when war seems to be all around us.
- "No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper." (Isaiah 54:17a)
4. Obama Lawyer: Birth Certificate Irrelevant to Eligibility - WND

5. Quake Expert: Earth Cracking Up - Croatian Times
"The quakes are a surprise that cannot be easily explained by current scientific knowledge. With the Indonesian quake for example, statistically, there should be one big earthquake in this part of Asia every 500 years. However, since 2004, there were already three quakes with a magnitude of over 8, which is not normal," said Gheorghe Marmureanu an expert from Romania's National Institute of Earth Physics.
- Lord, we do not know Your timetable for the final days. We pray that You will keep the earth as long as You have chosen before the "New Heavens and New Earth" comes into view. We bind the spirit of fear that emanates from this type of news, and speak faith in its place.
- "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." [Genesis 8:22]

"Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Your name give glory, for Your mercy, and for Your truth's sake. Why should the nations say, Where is their God? But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever He has pleased." (Psalm 115:1-3)

The Daily Jot!
In Egyptian Democracy a blow to peace
The man who occupies the Oval Office has done a great disservice to the free world by assisting the Muslim Brotherhood in overthrowing the Egyptian government in favor of democracy. Not that representative government is bad, its just that Islamic extremists have caught on to using democracy to legitimately establish radical Sharia Law governments hostile to the United States, Israel and worldwide peace in general. The Bush Administration was the first to prove this by demanding elections in Gaza--Bush even pressured Israel to remove Israelis from Gaza, in effect, setting up a so-called democratically elected Palestinian state in Gaza. Only problem is the people elected terrorists to represent them.
The current White House has perfected the worst aspects of the previous administration by actually taking sides with a known terrorist supporting group, the Muslim Brotherhood, and helping foment revolution throughout the Middle East, destabilizing the entire region, driving oil prices extremely higher. The situation in Egypt is a prime example. Elections there comfortably established the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party in control of the country. Now the Muslim Brotherhood has two of the three candidates locked down in the elections for president. One is the Freedom and Justice Party's nominee Mohammed Morsi. The other is a former Muslim Brotherhood member Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh.
The third candidate is the former foreign minister Amr Moussa, who many say is the frontrunner. Moussa was also the leader of the Arab League for a decade. He recently released his 80 page political program, which according to the Times of Israel, is hostile to Isreal. Moussa writes that "all forms of political, economic and legal support must be given to Palestinians in their struggle for rights." Moussa met with Hamas in 2010 as the secretary-general of the Arab League. He has been a longstanding critic of both the US and Israel. He took the Bush Administration to task for not recognizing Hamas in Gaza, he is a proponent of Jerusalem as the capital of a palestinian state, and is friendly to Iran.
Representative government requires moral and ethical participation by the citizen population. Trouble is, Islam is neither. A lot of people were manipulated into believing that peace and freedom would come with democracy. Irrespective of who is elected as President of Egypt, the bad guys are in charge thanks to the American president, the United Nations and the European Union all working in the name of peace. Jeremiah 8:15 says, "We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble." Yeshua said in Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of YHVH." But how can peace come from establishing the violent in the seats of authority? Only by the LORD.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
