1. Pastors pledge to defy IRS, preach politics from pulpit ahead of election - Fox News
More than 1,000 pastors are planning to challenge the IRS next month by deliberately preaching politics ahead of the presidential election despite a federal ban on endorsements from the pulpit.
- Father, even as those in power come against our freedom of speech guaranteed in the Constitution, we thank you for these pastors who are standing in what has made our country strong, great, and blessed by You. We look to You, and You alone, to sustain us during these troublesome times. Father, bless these brave men and women, and may they be an inspiration to others as they come against the same tyranny our founding fathers fought against.

Lord, as Your searchlight is focused on these events, we ask that those involved would come to repentance and ask You for forgiveness and cleansing. In the name of Jesus, we ask that future abuses of power will not happen.

-Our Mighty God, we have heard this man say one thing at one time, and an opposite thing at another, and then deny it happened. Lord, we ask that truth and truth only would be spoken out of our leaders mouths; and when anyone seeks to deceive, that they will only be able to say what is true.

- Father, give our officials wisdom and skill in handling these cyber attacks. We place a shield of protection around all websites and infrastructures in our country. We plead the blood of Jesus over our people. May no harm come to us. May every plan of evil be cast down and come to nothing.
- The Lord will keep you from all harm--he will watch over your life;(Psalm 121:7)

Iran deliberately provided false information about its nuclear program to Western investigators and the International Atomic Energy Agency, a senior Iranian official has confirmed.

7. US troop numbers in Afghanistan returned to pre-surge levels - UK Telegraph
The last of the 33,000 'surge' troops ordered into Afghanistan by President Barack Obama in 2009 have withdrawn from the country, returning the American presence to pre-surge levels, a senior US defense official said on Friday.

- You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. (Psalm 31:20)

Islamic vs Christian Eschatology Part 4, Jesus and the False Prophet
From an eschatological standpoint, the Islamic Jesus is very similar to the Christian false prophet as found in Revelation 13. The false prophet "causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast," "deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles," and, among other things, "cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." The false prophet establishes the one world religion and enforces the war against the saints, even to beheading them as found in Revelation 20:4 "...and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yeshua, and for the word of YHVH, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image"
The Islamic version of Jesus is prophesied to also perform miracles. Sura 3.049 says, "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe..." The Islamic Jesus also enforces Sharia Law upon all the unbelievers, Sura 2.050: "'(I (Jesus) have come to you), to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me.'"
The Islamic Jesus will persecute and kill those who are not Muslim. Sura 3.050-55, "When Jesus found Unbelief on their part He said: "Who will be My helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples: "We are Allah's helpers: We believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims." And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah....Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute."
The similarities between the Muslim Jesus and the false prophet are undeniable. Both will perform miracles, cause people to worship the Mahdi or the antichrist, establish the one world religion and force people to worship the Mahdi or the antichrist, will behead those who do not worship as instructed, and will enforce the religious law of the time. As you can see, the Islamic end times is very similar to the Christian end times, except that the Muslim Mahdi is like the Christian antichrist/beast, and the Muslim Jesus is like the Christian False Prophet. This is why it is so difficult to evangelize Muslims. They know their Jesus and his purpose--which is to persecute and kill those who do not believe in Islam. It is important to know the true Yeshua of the Bible, lest deception prevail.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

On the Campaign Trail:
46 Days to Election Day
Mom & Pop Bakery says 'no' to Biden:
Look what happened!
August 15, 2012, when the Secret Service walked into a small bakery in Radford, Virginia to ask the owner, Chris McMurray, if he would like a chance at priceless publicity by letting his tiny store, "Crumb and Get It, be used as a photo op for Vice President Biden, heaven knows, Chris needed all the help he could get. He and his wife had just started the small bakery only three months ago (May, 2012) and were struggling desperately to make a go of it with a workload that often required the wife to work 24 hours straight. To the agents' astonishment, however, Chris respectfully but firmly said no.
When asked why, Chris said he was at odds with the President for telling small business owners throughout America - "you didn't build that". As Chris explained, he and his wife did build their store. In a later interview, after the public responded, Chris said his decision was based on "convictions and principles . . . and a stance for my faith . . . faith in God."
Result? Chris has been swamped with business. They had to close their store at 1:15 pm (August 16th) because they ran out of bakery goods. As he told the TV reporter days later in amazement, the phone has been ringing nonstop with orders from all over the country for Chris and his wife to deliver cookies and cupcakes to homeless shelters, churches and nonprofit groups, etc.
This may be the best part, their first order in response came from the secret service agents who returned shortly after to say, "Thanks for standing up and saying 'no' ". (WDBJ7 TV) Read more.
To see a video of this news, go here.
If you want to order cookies or cupcakes or just say THANKS, contact Chris & Kelly McMurray at: 540-838-2288 Crumb and Get it , 1154 E. Main Street, Radford, VA 24141

SEPT. 23, WORLDWIDE JEWISH PRAYER FOR PEACE WITH MASHIACH
A Call to Fast and Pray to Keep Jerusalem United
Hi Sara,
Here is yet ANOTHER prayer initiative happening on 9.23.12; a call to all Jews around the world to unite as "All Jews as One". This is VERY VERY significant. This has never happened before.
Below is commentary from another prayer leader suggesting that we unite with them in prayer on that day to show our love and support for our brother Judah.
Blessings,
Laura Densmore
Hebrew Nation News
(Message from Laura)
When you sent out the Jerusalem Unity prayer email, I forwarded it to my contacts and received this reply from Laura Densmore about another prayer initiative being organized by our Jewish brothers called; "All Jews as One".
This can be a time to join with our brother Judah in prayer ALL AT THE SAME TIME around the world and it fits right in with the Jerusalem Unity prayer too. The date and time for the Pacific Coast is Sunday, September 23rd at 8:00 am The link to the 5 minute Youtube video is just below.
(11:00 a.m. EDT/10:00 a.m. CDT/9:00 a.m. MDT)
The words to the prayer that this initiative is putting together is:
"Master of the Universe, We, the children of Israel, ask you for Mashiach to redeem us , now and with mercy, from exile and all suffering, to reveal your Name in the world and to bring peace."
This is yet another evidence that Yah's spirit is moving strongly among his people to bring them to their knees and on their faces to petition Him for Israel (both the people who are in the land and those of us who are still scattered).
This whole initiative may or may not be perfect, but this will be the first time that our Jewish brethren will be united in one voice at the very same time around this world. This is the evidence that Yah's spirit is moving strongly among His people - whether Jew or exile, or sojourner. Our prayers will be said with a repentant heart and mind. Baruch HaShem, B'Shem Yeshua!!!!!
