"Praying for All in Authority"

Tuesday, February 10, 2015

21 DAYS OF FASTING AND PRAYER

Spread the word!!!!

Three weeks from today, on Tuesday, March 3rd, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to speak before a Joint Session of Congress.

Due to the potential impact of this speech, and to the controversy now surrounding his address, we are asking all who will to begin a time of intense prayer and fasting starting tomorrow, Wednesday, February 11, and continuing on through Tuesday, March 3rd.
Together, we will ask the Angel of the Presence of the Lord to go before the Prime Minister, making all crooked paths straight, so that his words and his actions will align with the will of God, and the Lord's Kingdom purposes would be fulfilled during the time of his visit to our nation.

Together, we decree:

"My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." (Exodus 33:14)

AMEN.

Parents of Kayla Mueller say they have been notified of their daughter's death at the hands of the Islamic State, which had held the Prescott, Ariz., 26-year-old since August 2013, when she was taken hostage as she left a hospital in Syria where she was providing humanitarian aid. (Read more)
- Lord God . . . Lord God . . . Lord God . . . you have now received another sweet angel into Your heavenly arms. Lord, as we read these words that Kayla has written to her family, our hearts are touched for them:

"I remember mom always telling me that all in all in the end the only one you really have is God. I have come to a place in experience where, in every sense of the word, I have surrendered myself to our creator because literally there was no else. . . by God, by your prayers I have felt tenderly cradled in freefall. I have been shown in darkness, light have learned that even in prison, one can be free. I am grateful. I have come to see that there is good in every situation, sometimes we just have to look '. . "

We thank You for the life of this brave young martyr, who has now given her life in the service of others. We ask for Your comfort to enfold those who remain, in Jesus' name, amen and amen.

2. 'Increasingly destructive' Iran is sabotaging Obama's plans - Washington Examiner

President Obama soon may be forced to deal with an issue he has tried to avoid: Iran's aggression in the Middle East. Administration officials have tried to wall off talks on limiting Iran's nuclear program from the many crises in which Iranian actions play a role, from the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria to the implosion of Yemen's government, to even Iran's prosecution of U.S. citizens on questionable charges.
- Oh, Father, only You can give wisdom to our leaders concerning the aggressive ambitions of Iran. We pray that American leaders will first of all see through all ploys to distract from the real issues and that next they will address the issue of nuclear weapons head on. We pray that no sympathies for Iran will be found in our policies that would weaken the security of the US. In the name of Jesus, we break down walls of denial at the White House.

- "So I will break down the wall you have plastered with untempered mortar, and will bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered; it will fall and you shall be consumed in the midst of it. Then you shall know that I am the Lord." (Ezekiel 13:14)

3. Military action needed in Iraq to help Christians, archbishop says - BBC

Christians in Iraq "do not have much time left" without direct military action on the ground, the Archbishop of Irbil has told UK peers and MPs. Archbishop Bashar Warda said air strikes were "not enough" to defeat Islamic State militants and "begged" for Western troops to be deployed. He said Iraq's Christian population was declining and that he would speak to the UK government about further action.

- Father, we pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in Iraq. Keep them hidden, and lead them to safety to escape the Islamic State militants. We place the angels of God around them to protect and guard them, in Jesus name.

- He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. (1 Samuel 2:9)

4. Greece: Greenspan predicts exit from euro inevitable - BBC News

The former head of the US central bank, Alan Greenspan, has predicted that Greece will have to leave the eurozone.
- Dear Lord, we see that man has made plans, but that they have not consulted You. We pray wisdom for the leaders of Greece to wisely manage their country's financial affairs so that their people do not suffer. We pray that all will consult You for Your divine wisdom. We also speak this out for the leaders of the EU, so that God's will may prevail in all things.

-"The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations." (Psalms 33:11)

5. Liberty Counsel Defends More Alabama Probate Judges - CanadaFreePress

Mobile, AL - As the battle to preserve natural marriage rages in Alabama, Liberty Counsel is standing with probate judges who are following the direction of Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy S. Moore. Yesterday, Chief Justice Moore issued this directive: "Effective immediately, no probate judge of the state of Alabama nor any agent or employee of any Alabama probate judge shall issue or recognize a marriage license that is inconsistent with. . . the Alabama Constitution."
- Father, thank You for this directive from Chief Justice Roy S. Moore. We pray that Alabama preserves natural marriage in their state, in Jesus name. Thank You for this victory. Amen.

7. Bills Focusing on Bible Elective Classes in Public Schools Introduced in Two States - Washington Free Beacon

Bills introduced in Oklahoma and West Virginia focusing on Bible courses in public schools continue to face mounting opposition, but lawmakers have indicated the legislation is important and supported by constituents.
- Praise You, Lord, for these two states that are bold enough to stand up for freedom of religion on the local level. We speak success for these bills in the name of Jesus, and pray that other states will enact similar legislation to combat the anti-Christ atmosphere present in contemporary society.

- "And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children." (Isaiah 54:13)

8. Boston Up to Its Eyeballs in Snow, More Ahead - CBN News

Once again a winter storm system is targeting Boston, with forecasters predicting 12 to 16 inches by the end of Tuesday.

The problem is not the storm itself but that it's coming on the heels of two others. In the last month, a record-breaking five feet of snow has fallen on the city.

"This is pretty much unprecedented," Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said. (Read more)
- Lord God, tonight we lift up all the residents of the Boston area, all of New England, and all others who are in the path of these storms. We ask for the safety and the protection of each one. Abba, we see too that, in many cases, the authorities no longer have any place to put the new snow, as they seek to clear their streets and parking lots. We ask that You would open up a way for them to cope with this unending barrage of snow. We ask this in Jesus' name, amen and amen.

- " If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." (John 14:14)

9. Obama: 'Real differences' with Netanyahu over Iran - Times of Israel

Obama stressed at a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Washington, DC, that Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and others involved in the talks all agree that more sanctions wouldn't make sense at this point.

"I don't want to be coy," Obama said. "The prime minister and I have a very real difference around Iran, around sanctions."

He said Merkel and Cameron and he agree "that it does not make sense to sour the negotiations a month or two before they're about to be complete. And we should play that out." If a deal can be done, it should be embraced, Obama said. If not, he said, he'd be "the first to work" with Congress on more sanctions. "But what's the rush? Unless your view is that it's not possible to get a deal with Iran and it shouldn't even be tested. And that I cannot agree with," said Obama.

If a diplomatic resolution cannot be achieved, the options "are narrow and they're not attractive. From the perspective of US interests, and I believe from the perspective of Israel's interests, although I can't speak obviously for the Israeli government, it is far better if we can get a diplomatic solution. So there are real differences substantively, but that's separate and apart from the whole issue of Mr. Netanyahu coming to Washington." (Read more)
- Father God, for once we agree with this president: there are, indeed, "real differences" between these two world leaders. Obama sees little, if any danger, in a nuclear Iran; while P.M. Netanyahu sees clearly that a nuclear Iran would endanger the world. Lord, we continue to ask that You grant our own "king" Your wisdom to see evil as evil and good as good. Help us, O Lord, we pray in Jesus' name. Amen and amen.

- "But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost." (Job 11:20)

10. Bob Woodward: Military upset that Susan Rice telling generals how to fight - Breitbart

Sunday on Fox News Channel's "Fox News Sunday," veteran journalist Bob Woodward said people in the military are complaining to him that the Obama administration has no strategy to defeat ISIS other then having people like Susan Rice "micromanage" military responses. Woodward said, "If you talk to people in the White House and the military, I think there's agreement and John McCain is right and General Flynn is right, there is no strategy. They have not sat down and said this is where we want to go and this is how we want to do it. And the measure of that, when you head into the weeds here, people from the White House are micromanaging the tactical situation on a daily and weekly basis. That's not their job. They have to kind of do strategic planning and say what do we want to accomplish in the next year." (Read more)
- Lord God, we thank You that as our generals turn their eyes upon You, You will direct their actions. In Jesus' name, amen.

1. Nearly half of Israelis want PM to cancel Congress speech - poll - Times of Israel

Nearly one in two Israelis believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should cancel his March 3 address to the United States Congress amid heightened tensions between the White House and Jerusalem, an Army Radio poll on Monday showed. However, more than half (63 percent) also insisted that whether or not Netanyahu goes ahead with the address will not affect their voting choices. (Read more)

2. Netanyahu 'determined to go to Washington' as planned - Times of Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that he was determined to speak to a joint meeting of Congress on March 3, despite the ongoing uproar surrounding his planned address in the US capital.

"At a time when there are those who would deal with protocol and politics, an agreement with Iran is taking shape in Munich that would risk Israel's existence," Netanyahu said on Twitter, apparently referring to talks over the weekend in the German city between US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.

"Therefore, I'm determined to travel to Washington and present Israel's position before Congress and the American people," he said. "From the day the State of Israel was established, there have been substantive differences between Israel and the United States. Relations remained strong. That's how it will be this time." (Read more)
- Lord God, we thank You that Prime Minister Netanyahu will "stay the course" and will speak to Congress about the dangers Israel (and America) is now facing with Iran. We ask that You strengthen this dear leader in the inner man, that that resolve not wane in the face of pressure. We ask this in the name of Yeshua, amen.

- "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being." (Eph. 3:16 NLT)

3. ZOA blasts disunity among Jewish-American groups over PM's speech -Times of Israel

The right-wing Zionist Organization of America suggested Monday that some American-Jewish groups' behavior surrounding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned address to Congress is similar to that of the "Jewish leaders of the 1930s," in reference to the lack of unity and organization in the American-Jewish community in the years leading up to and during the Holocaust.

ZOA President Morton Klein issued a statement criticizing the Anti-Defamation League, president of the Union for Reform Judaism Rabbi Rick Jacobs and J Street for their call to have Netanyahu cancel the speech and the American Jewish Committee and AIPAC for "their deafening silence on the issue."

4. Defying Shiite mainstream, Lebanese cleric reaches out to Jews -Times of Israel

Israelis usually associate Shiite clerics in Lebanon with terror group Hezbollah, a powerful religious organization committed to the destruction of the Jewish state. But a Beirut-based cleric is surprising the public by spreading messages of peace and nonviolence in Hebrew on social media.

"We call on rabbis, priests and Muslim clerics - both Sunni and Shia - to underplay religious traditions and texts that call for violence, since they are more dangerous than nuclear weapons," wrote Sayyed Muhammad Ali Husseini, secretary general of the Shiite group the Arabic Islamic Council, in Hebrew on his Facebook page Sunday.

Just days after Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah warned of a possible war with Israel following an attack by his organization that left two IDF soldiers dead on the border with Lebanon, Husseini said that religious texts must be historically contextualized rather than used to incite perpetual violence.

"Various religious texts calling for the use of violence and ruthlessness to achieve goals are extremely dangerous when used by groups we have warned against in the past," he continued. "These texts religiously sanction acts of violence and murder. Obviously, these are texts that were implemented in specific, limited situations; they cannot necessarily be applied to our time, since every situation has its own unique circumstances." (Read more)

5. Hamas accuses Palestinian Authority of planning to instigate Gaza unrest - Jerusalem Post

Hamas on Monday accused the Palestinian Authority of planning to instigate unrest in the Gaza Strip. Kamel Abu Madi, a senior official with the Hamas-controlled Interior Ministry in the Gaza Strip, said that a number of suspects have been arrested in connection with the alleged scheme.

Abu Mdi said in an interview with a Hamas-affiliated online newspaper that his movement would announce more details about the "plot" at the "appropriate time." He also accused the PA of incitement and standing behind reports that the Islamic State terror group was operating inside the Gaza Strip.

He claimed that the PA security forces in the West Bank were behind a series of bombings that targeted Fatah and Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip in the past few weeks. (Read more)

6. PA announces boycott of Israeli food manufacturers -Times of Israel

The Palestinian Authority on Monday announced a boycott of five major Israeli companies in retaliation for Jerusalem's freeze of Palestinian tax funds collected on Ramallah's behalf.

The PA ruled that it would ban the sale of products made by Israeli food manufacturers Strauss, Tnuva, Osem, Prigat and Jafora, senior Fatah official Mahmoud al-Alul said at a press conference. He said the move would take effect on Wednesday. (Read more)

LOS ANGELES, California - An emotionally-charged and highly divisive vote took place at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) on Sunday as pro-Israel students attempted to thwart two different divestment resolutions at the UC Student Association (USCA). Both divestment resolutions subsequently passed, including one which called for divestment from most of the world, including the United States. (Read more)

The Enemy Within

Congress, the US Supreme Court and the American people are faced with one of the greatest threats to the American way of life since the Civil War with a "president" that is dedicated both politically and religiously to fulfilling his campaign promise of remaking America. His latest attack on Christians by comparing them to Crusaders and equating them to the atrocities of the Islamic State Caliphate should awaken all Christians that the spirit of the antichrist dwells among us and is set to steal, kill and destroy a nation that has become so law abiding that it cannot recognize unlawful acts done in the name of the law, nor has it had the will to remove the usurper from his rage of destruction.

It should have came as no surprise that this "president" would embolden Islam with a comparison of modern Christians to Crusaders. That is what they call us and for a president of the United States to send that signal to the Islamic State, it brings justification to the atrocities that they are committing on the instruction of their holy book--the Koran--and the false prophet Mohammad. As one of the "president's" first acts, he distorted the history between Islam and America during his foreign policy speech in Cairo, Egypt on June 4, 2009. He stated, "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco." He then cited the Treaty of Tripoli.

This treaty, and others, were signed by President John Adams in 1797 to prevent the Islamic Barbary Pirates from Moroccan-sanctioned piracy of American ships and the enslavement and ransom of American citizens. By 1801, after continued piracy and ransoms paid, President Thomas Jefferson founded and commissioned the US Navy specifically to stop these raids. There were two wars, then and later in 1815, to end the ransoms and piracy of the Ottoman Empire (Islamic Caliphate)-backed pirates. This distortion of history by the current US "president" in 2009 is even more punctuated with his remarks comparing the new Islamic caliphate to Christians. He is delusional and anti-Christian.

Congress, the Supreme Court and the American people must demand this usurper's ouster to save the nation. He has: placed the full authority of the United States behind a Muslim Brotherhood plan to overthrow governments across the Middle East; supported Islam to the expense of Israel; placed Muslim Brotherhood operatives at high levels within our government; actively supported Islam which has repeatedly declared itself an enemy to all Americans; put us trillions of dollars in debt; socialized our economy; and has taken us down a path of moral, spiritual, and economic destruction. He is an agent of Islam. He is the enemy within. Galatians 6:7 says, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap." His harvest is nearing and it is one of tares and tears for all.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

No apology to Christians from White House

Christians should be outraged that an American "president" would compare them with the atrocities of the Islamic State. No where in the Bible does it instruct followers of the one true God to kill infidels, to torture them, to cut off their heads, fingers and toes, to terrorize them. No Christian is instructed by the holy scriptures to do any such thing. The Koran, however, and the example of the false prophet Mohammad, explicitly instructs Muslims to torture and kill those who do not believe in Mohammad and allah, the false god of Islam. Yet the US "president" equated the atrocities of Islam with Christians at the National Prayer Breakfast, a Christian prayer gathering. Have you called for his ouster yet?

The president said, "We see ISIL, a brutal, vicious death cult that, in the name of religion, carries out unspeakable acts of barbarism -- terrorizing religious minorities like the Yezidis, subjecting women to rape as a weapon of war, and claiming the mantle of religious authority for such actions." He recounted other Islamic atrocities and said, "And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ." Of course, he pointed out the terror against the Yezidis, and mentioned nothing about what the Islamic State has done to Christians in the region. Apparently, he thinks Christians deserve it.
That would be the conclusion drawn from Deputy Press Secretary Eric Shultz who unapologetically justified the "president's" remarks saying that Americans must be accountable to our values: "So the President believes that when we fall short of that, we need to be honest with ourselves and look inward, and hold ourselves accountable...Again, I think if you look at the entire text of the remarks, you'll see how well suited they were for that audience and that setting....I'd refer you to his speech earlier this year at the United Nations General Assembly, where he spoke very compellingly about...us living up to our own values and our own principles." Americans fell short of our own values during the Crusades? Huh?

The Crusades were in response to the Islamic Ottoman Empire conquering the Middle East and taking vast amounts of Europe as it sought to establish a worldwide Caliphate--the rule of Islam, the peace of Islam--throughout the known world. They were slaughtering Christians and Jews then as they are now. If not for the Crusades, it is possible that all of Europe would be under Sharia. Christians had to fight Islam or be overtaken by it. Just as it is today. Americans need to wake up and remove their president and any who believe like him, otherwise they will face the same consequence. As a judgment on Babylon in Jeremiah 51:14 says, "Surely, I will fill thee with men as with locusts; and they shall raise a battle cry against thee." You heard the battle cry at the National Prayer Breakfast by the leader of the locusts. No apologies.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

	Understanding the Threat

Understanding the Threat:

Sharia Adherent Muslims are Not "Extremists"

The U.S. government continues to label the Islamic terrorists we face as "violent extremists" who commit acts of "workplace violence." Here at UTT we prefer to live in reality because it is the only place our enemies can be defeated.

The phrase "violent extremism" is a non-sensical term which means nothing, and was brought to the U.S. via the FBI and DHS who were convinced by our British counterparts it identifies those who are willing to support their beliefs with violence. In this light, U.S. military forces and any American willing to defend a just cause can be classified as a "violent extremist." Unfortunately, those participating in the global Islamic jihad do not call themselves "extremists." They call themselves "Jihadis" seeking to impose jihad on the world until the entire world is under Sharia (Islamic Law). American war fighting doctrine states we begin our analysis of any enemy by how that enemy describes itself.
This enemy specifically states they seek to impose Sharia and it is the blueprint for everything it does. Jihad is total warfare. It is Civilization Jihad per the Muslim Brotherhood's own strategic plan for North America, and the MB's global strategy. Jihad is warfare that comes at a society in a hundred different ways: political, economic, psychological, spiritual, cultural, societal, and includes violence in the community and on the battlefield. . . .

	ISLAM a peaceful religion?

ISLAM a peaceful religion?

How can people continue to insist - in the face of the recent wave of awful massacres, inhumane terrorist attacks etc that have without exception been perpetrated in the name of Allah and ISLAM - that the religion of ISLAM is itself peaceful and that it is only 'radical' or 'jihadist' ISLAM that is the problem?

What do these people do with the more than 50 wars Mohammed fought to spread his faith and to establish its path? What do they do with the numerous Quranic verses extolling jihad and all manner of brutality against "the infidels" in Allah's name? How can the world continue to ignore - simply out of a fear of being found politically incorrect - that from its very founding ISLAM has contained and still contains embedded in it a not inconsiderable amount of violence?
Did Jesus initiate even one war? Even when Peter, one of His closest friends and disciples, cut off Malchus' ear in the Garden of Gethsemane in defense of his Lord, Jesus rebuked him and healed and restored the ear.

What an enormous difference there is, then, between Jesus and Mohammed. This is so clear - how is it that this is omitted by nearly all those commenting on ISLAM's definitive character?
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the last day, nor hold that which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger [Muhammad], nor acknowledge the religion of truth [Islam], from among the people of the book [Jews and Christians] until they pay the Jezia [special taxes paid by the Jews and Christians who do not want to denounce their religion] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (Surat Al-Tawbah 9:29)

And fight them on until there is no more sedition (literal translation) and religion [Islam] becomes Allah's in its entirety. (Surat Al-Anfal 8:39)

. . . I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips of them this because they contended against Allah and His Messenger: If any contend against Allah and His Messenger. Allah is strict in punishment. (Surat Al-Anfal 8:12)
. . . Thus ISLAM spread by way of the sword. As Hebrew University Professor in Islamic Studies Moshe Sharon remarked: "ISLAM had the sword before it had the Quran."

With this sword Moslems occupied many countries, terrorizing their populations into embracing to the teachings of ISLAM.

With this violence ISLAM advanced as far as Tours and Poitiers in Southern France, where Charles Martel stopped it. To the east it later advanced to the very gates of Vienna.

There was nothing peaceful, I repeat, nothing peaceful, about the original advance of ISLAM. (Read more)

	ISIS: We're so much bigger than CIA thinks

ISIS: We're so much bigger than CIA thinks

TEL AVIV - The Islamic State and its extremist allies currently boast an army estimated by Egypt to consist of about 180,000 Islamist fighters.

An Egyptian intelligence document, the contents of which were obtained by WND, warns that while the U.S. has been attempting to maintain a coalition to fight ISIS, the Islamic terrorist organization has itself been hard at work building a sustainable coalition of jihadist gunmen.

The 180,000 figure is six times greater than a CIA estimate from last September, which placed the number of ISIS fighters at between 20,000 and 31,500 fighters.
According to Egypt, ISIS has created an umbrella army with the Taliban, Al Shabab, Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, and local jihadist groups from Yemen, Mali, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and the Egyptian Sinai.

Egypt is warning this ISIS-allied army is preparing for a major insurgency in numerous countries by this spring or summer.

"There is no sign the international community understands what is happening before our eyes," stated Egyptian an intelligence official. "ISIS is creating the fundamentals of a real governance in not just Iraq and Syria but also in Algeria, Afghanistan, Yemen and beyond."
Egypt's 180,000 estimate dovetails with figures claimed by Fuad Hussein, chief of staff of the Kurdish President Massoud Barzani.

Hussein told the U.K. Independent in November that Kurdish intelligence believes ISIS militant fighters to number at least 200,000.

"I am talking about hundreds of thousands of fighters because they are able to mobilize Arab young men in the territory they have taken," he said.

Hussein in November met with congressional leaders and declared that to defeat ISIS an efficient army of 80,000 would be necessary. (WND)

"'God' is not a dirty word," High School Senior Wins Victory in Important Pledge of Allegiance Case

"Ever since I was little, I've recited the Pledge of Allegiance because it sums up the values that make our country great. The phrase 'under God' protects all Americans-including atheists-because it reminds the government that it can't take away basic human rights because it didn't create them."

(Washington, DC)-Samantha Jones, a high school student in New Jersey, successfully protected the right of all her fellow students to continue reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in its entirety. After hearing Samantha and her family's case for the words 'one nation under God,' a state judge has decided to dismiss the American Humanist Association's latest effort to take "under God" out of the Pledge.

"I'm so grateful the court decided that kids like me shouldn't be silenced just because some people object to timeless American values," said Samantha Jones a senior at Highland Regional High School. "Ever since I was little, I've recited the Pledge of Allegiance because it sums up the values that make our country great.
