1. Hayden slams Senate report - Fox News
Former CIA Director Michael Hayden is defending the agency's post-9/11 interrogation methods, saying detainees like 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed 'gave us kind of a Home Depot-like storage of info on Al Qaeda,' following the release of a Senate report that slammed CIA tactics as 'brutal' and ineffective. (Read more)
- Father God, we continue to repent before Your Throne of Grace that our nation has pursued these techniques of interrogation to try to extract information from our enemies. Thank You, Lord, that we are not a nation that beheads our enemies, but rather that pray for them to come to the truth of the Gospel, and to rescue them from darkness. We ask that You would grant Your own "witty inventions" so that the process of extracting needed intelligence can be accomplished in a more humane manor in the days ahead. We ask this in Jesus name, amen and amen.
-"I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions." (Proverbs 8:12)

3. Boehner: Spending Bill 'Sets Up a Direct Challenge' to Obama's Immigration Action--Later - CNSNews.com
"Tomorrow we'll pass a responsible bill that keeps the government running," House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told a news conference on Wednesday. He indicated that Republican efforts to block President Obama's executive amnesty will come next year, when the a Republican-led Congress takes charge: "Without a threat of a government shutdown, this (bill) sets up a direct challenge to the president's unilateral actions on immigration when we have new majorities in both chambers of Congress. This is all part of preparing for a new American Congress, which will bring new opportunities to help middle class families and get our economy moving again." (Read more)
- Lord God, we understand that, on earth, there is quite a bit of controversy - even among conservatives - whether this bill is good for the nation. But in heaven, where You rule and where You reign, all remains in Kingdom order. We rest this case before the Courtroom of heaven, and we ask Your wisdom to guide and direct the new Congress so that all remaining issues related to next year's budget will be decided according to Your will. We ask this in Your Name, amen and amen.
- "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool." (Isaiah 66:1)

5. China Takes Nuclear Weapons Underwater Where Prying Eyes Can't See - Bloomberg
China is preparing to arm its stealthiest submarines with nuclear missiles that could reach the U.S., cloaking its arsenal with the invisibility needed to retaliate in the event of an enemy strike.

We pray that China will use its nuclear-armed submarines as a hedge to any potential nuclear threats including those from North Korea. We pray that they will not consider the USA their enemy, but an ally. China needs the USA as much as the USA needs China. We ask that You would watch over this relationship. In His Name we pray, Amen.
- "He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me, for they were too strong for me." (2 Samuel 22:18)

'US anxiety is centered on the fact that China is actively experimenting with weaponry that is based on hypersonic speed, which is nearly impossible to intercept using currently-available US missile defense systems,' Korotchenko told Sputnik. (Read more)
- Abba Father, it seems that according to this article China has started a nuclear arms race . Abba none of this surprises You. You know the plans of men and we know Your plans for us. Thank You for holding us in the palm of Your hand. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
- "For I know theplans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11)

In His Name we pray, Amen.

Wednesday, December 10, 2014 CIA, torture, Islam, barbarism
Senate Democrats saw fit to expose to the public the interrogation tactics that the CIA uses against terrorists. Once again the "president" has come down on the side of the terrorists. He said, "The report documents a troubling program involving enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorism suspects in secret facilities outside the United States, and it reinforces my long-held view that these harsh methods were not only inconsistent with our values as nation, they did not serve our broader counterterrorism efforts or our national security interests." Basically, there is the argument that torture tactics don't reveal any useful information, so why do them? But this conclusion is not settled.
What is settled is that certain leftist members of Congress and those at the White House believe as presidential contender Hillary Clinton so radically put it during Fox News Sunday on Pearl Harbor Day: "Showing respect even for one's enemies, trying to understand and insofar as psychologically possible empathize with their perspective and point of view, helping to define the problem, determine the solutions." This is the mentality of the leadership of the Democratic Party--that America is wrong; we should empathize with terrorists; everybody has a point of view that should be considered. And this is the reasoning behind exposing interrogation techniques that might harm or deter our enemies. They say they are barbaric.
I have seen video and photos of mass executions, women and children being burned alive, children being beheaded; men having their heads sawed off with carving knives; crucifixions, women buried up to their waste and being stoned to death. This is the very public and barbaric face of Islam. US Democratic Senators are offended at CIA secret tactics mentioned in the report that included waterboarding, forced nudity, sleep deprivation, dietary and temperature manipulation and wall slamming. These tactics, they say, didn't always lead to good information. It seems that none of these techniques are as severe as what Islam does openly and brags about on a daily basis.
The president says not allowing such interrogation doesn't make us weaker. The double negative explains it, it already has made us weaker. What is the Christian response? If you love the enemy Islam, you will be subject to its barbarism. As a nation of Christians, America needs to have standards established by the Lord. There is much war prophesied for the end times. Jesus will return and many on the earth will die from his judgment. For those of us who are called by his name, Deuteronomy 30:19 comes to mind: "...I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live." As Solomon wrote, there is a time for war. It is a nasty business. We must choose life. That means defending ourselves. It's how we do it, however, that will bring blessing or cursing.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Introducing: Revolution 2014

Revolution 2014
http://revolutiongathering.com/
Sponsored by Jon & Jolene Hamill; Lamplighter Ministries
Dear Friends, Last week, we joined with a convergence of many other ministries to participate in "Revolution 2014" - a conference like none we have ever experienced before!
Below please find the vision for this event:
In 1775, our forefathers began a revolution. They fought for truth and freedom against a tyrannical and illegitimate government. At the core of their struggle against the King of England was the simple yet revolutionary truth that men were "endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. . .", and anyone claiming authority to violate these rights heard the resounding cry, "We recognize no sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!"
Today a new revolution is underway. Rulers are being challenged, kingdoms are in conflict and the landscape around us is changing. But the revolution that is needed today is not against the British crown, nor any government of man, for "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." The revolution we need today is against the illegitimate kingdom of darkness and "any high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God". The voice of Jesus, the greatest revolutionary to ever live, beckons us to join the movement. A cry is rising from His bride, and it is the same cry that was raised by our forefathers; "No King but Jesus!" It is a cry of purity and devotion, a cry of freedom and breakthrough. It is a cry of commitment to the Kingdom of God and the King of that Kingdom above all else.
Representatives from across the 13 original colonies and beyond gathered for a solemn assembly, and together we released the Kingdom of God through worship and intercession, and see the darkness dispelled.
If you want to view our Revolution 2014 conference, it was amazing, uplifting and very current on what is happening in God's realm and our nation in this season. It's a prophetic conference so will be very different from something you may have experienced before. Let your spirit soar!!!
Just click below to watch each session of REVOLUTION 2014- which was the reconvening, if you will, of the 2nd Continental Congress last convened in 1775 of the 13 Original Colonies.
With Jon and Jolene Hamill, Dutch Sheets, Rick and Pattie Ridings
As Jon said at the end, it was like experiencing a year in 3 days. And it was like that.
Please enter in and partake.

The Good News Corner:
'Merry Christmas,' 'Happy Hanukkah' Allowed in Texas Schools
Texas schools now have a legal right to acknowledge Christmas, Hanukkah, and other religious holidays, thanks to the "Merry Christmas" law that Gov. Rick Perry signed last year.
The legislation allows people to say specific holiday greetings like "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Hanukkah" on campus.
It also clears the way for religious symbols, like nativity scenes and Christmas trees to be displayed on school property.
"That allows parents, teachers, students and school administrators to celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah in public schools without fear of censorship, litigation or persecution," Republican Rep. Dwayne Bohac, who helped write the law, said.
Bohac's young son recalls when those things were not allowed.
Texas leaders are quick to point out that no one is required or forced to participate in the acknowledgements. (CBN) Read more here.

Series of Powerful Storms Set To Hit The West Coast of the United States
A powerful set of storms not seen but once every 3-5 years will hit the Western United States, centering Northern California and Western Washington and Oregon on the 10th and 11th of this month, as predicted here at TriforceWeather.com in earlier articles about California getting a lot of storms this month so read on for those details.
If you are in the San Francisco, Sacramento, Northern California, Western Oregon and Washington zones, you are in a high risk flood potential on a series of storms that will impact the area this week. The first storm will hit Western Washington and Oregon on Monday and Tuesday followed by another on Wednesday as the storms keep piling into the region. This secondary storm will push a strong tropical moisture connection into Northern California on Wednesday night through Thursday, owning to very heavy rainfall for the area. Rainfall rates will exceed flood warning levels and we may need to issued multiple large regional flood warning products for the area. Be advised of this and stay with us for those details down the line.
The storms will cease some later Friday into Saturday but the storm window remains open toward the end of the weekend. (Southern California Weather Force) Read more.
- Lord God, friends in northern California are bracing for hurricane-force winds this weekend of up to 150 mph! Lord God, only YOU can protect these citizens from the wind and the rain that is about to hit their coast. Abba, we ask for Your mercy to rest upon those in the path of these storms, that they might be kept safe throughout. We ask this in Your name, amen.
- "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." (John 14:14)
