GOD SENDS A SIGN OF LIFE IN THE SKIES OVER ISRAEL
Amazing. Above Israel, "Chai" shines -- the Hebrew symbol of life!
Please note:
Even though some of the headlines we bring you are naming "Palestine" as a state, in the Word of God there is no "Palestine." Rather, the correct terminology is "the West Bank" or "Judea and Samaria." The only state is the state of Israel.
Due to legal constraints, we are not allowed to change text we are forwarding to you. Thank you for hearing our heart in this critical matter.

1. PM to tap US-born human rights activist as new spokesman- Times of Israel
Human rights activist David Keyes is to become Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new foreign media adviser and spokesperson, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Keyes, who was born in California and currently lives in New York, will replace Mark Regev, who has been appointed Israel's new ambassador to London.
The Prime Minister's Office on Monday did not confirm Keyes's appointment, which was first reported by The Jerusalem Post.
Read more
Heavenly Father, we pray that You have given Prime Minister Netanyahu wisdom regarding this position. We pray that You protect Mr. Keyes from manipulation or temptation to report any falsehoods about Israel, and that he sincerely holds Israel's best interest in heart. May You bless David Keyes, prosper what work he does for the Kingdom. Father, we ask that You reveal yourself to him so deeply that he hungers and thirsts for Your Righteousness. In the name of Yeshua, amen.
2. Pregnant Israeli seriously injured in Gush Etzion stabbing attack - Israel Hayom
A pregnant Israeli woman in her 30s was seriously wounded in a stabbing attack Monday at a clothing store in the community of Tekoa in Gush Etzion.
The terrorist was shot and critically injured. Nonetheless, residents of the area were instructed to remain indoors until police finished combing the area for possible accomplices or additional threats.
The victim was later named as Michal Froman, the daughter-in-law of the late rabbi of Tekoa, Menachem Froman, who was well known for promoting coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Read more
Abba, we pray for this woman and the life that is inside of her. We ask that You send Your healing and protection to her and her family. We pray for complete healing from not only the physical wounds, but also for the emotional trauma for mother and baby. We ask that You nullify all acts of darkness that try to manifest, in the name of Yeshua, amen.
3. IDF chief: Iran deal raises specter of proxy wars with Israel - Times of Israel
IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot said Monday that Iran will likely honor the nuclear deal reached with world powers in the coming years, but intensify its proxy war with Israel through the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah and other armed groups. He also anticipated that Iran would start allocating increased funds to terror groups, and called the deal a "strategic turning point" as regards the challenges to Israel.
Still, Eisenkot said the landmark agreement could present Israel with opportunities in the future.
He also warned that terror in the West Bank was unlikely to abate anytime soon.
Read more
Father, we know that there will be problems that come from Iran. We ask that You put your protection over Israel, and that Your will be done. Let only what You ordain be allowed to happen. In the name of Yeshua, amen.
4. Israel aims to compel social media to combat Palestinian incitement -Israel Hayom
Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan on Sunday proposed new legislation that would compel social media platforms to remove posts deemed to directly incite murder or violence.
According to Erdan, an Israeli law should be enacted in conjunction with legislation in other Western countries.
The issue has been raised in the past, with various visiting ministers expressing interest in cooperating with Israel on such an endeavor.
Erdan stressed that "my aim is to systematically expose the Palestinian culture of incitement among relevant audiences around the world."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that inciting messages should be sent out to world leaders to raise awareness of the problem.
Read more
Father God, we pray that if this legislation passes, that it would be used for good. We ask that You would see to it that the world leaders who see the messages would have eyes to see and ears to hear. In the name of Yeshua, amen.
5. Indian FM in Jerusalem: Ties with Israel of 'highest importance' to India - Jerusalem Post
India attaches "the highest importance" to the full development of ties with Israel, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said Monday, adding that there was room for more growth in the rapidly developing bilateral relations.
Swaraj, on the second day of a three-day visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, said at a press opportunity before meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that, "Our bilateral cooperation has developed well in a number of areas over the past two decades, but the potential of our relations is much more."
Sarwaj, who visited Israel once before she became foreign minister in 2014, is only the third Indian foreign minister to visit the country, and the first since 2012. Her visit is seen as an indication of the flowering of ties between the two countries and as a precursor to an expected visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This would be the first-ever visit to Israel by an Indian prime minister.
Read more
We thank You Yahweh!!! We ask that You bless this friendship and that the bonds would truly be strengthened to be allies between Israel and India. Father, we pray that by India restoring the relationship with Israel, that You would have mercy and bless them. We pray that Your Holy Spirit would fall over the entire sub-continent of India! We pray that every man, woman, and child would have a supernatural encounter with the one true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! We pray for their salvation and for revival fire to spread throughout the entire land! Have Your way there, Lord! We pray this in the mighty name of Yeshua, amen.

1. Carson cancels campaign events after fatal car crash involving volunteers, staffer - Fox News
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson canceled the remainder of his campaign events Tuesday after a fatal car crash involving staff and volunteers.
According to the campaign, a van carrying three volunteers and a campaign staff member slid on an icy Iowa road and flipped on its side near Atlantic, Iowa. It was then hit by another vehicle.
One volunteer, 25-year-old Braden Joplin, was transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Obama, Neb. where he died Tuesday around 4:30 p.m., according to a statement from the campaign.
"Carson plans to meet with Joplin's family members once he arrives in Omaha later this evening to offer his condolences," the campaign said. The accident comes less than two weeks before the Iowa caucuses, where Carson is polling fourth behind Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, according to polling data from RealClearPolitics. (Read more)
- Father, we are so saddened to hear of this tragedy. We pray Your presence covers Ben Carson, his staff, volunteers, and their families. Give wisdom on how to continue this campaign. Give direction on how to go forward, or if they should go forward. We speak peace and comfort, in Jesus Name.
- "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."(Psalm 147:3)
2. Obama signs emergency order over Flint water - CNSNews.com
President Barack Obama signed an emergency declaration Saturday for Flint, Michigan, that clears the way for federal aid for the city, which is undergoing a drinking water crisis. The White House issued a release calling for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate all disaster relief efforts to "alleviate the hardship and suffering" on residents. Flint switched water supplies in 2014, and the corrosive water from the Flint River leached lead from old pipes.
FEMA has been authorized to provide water, filters, cartridges and other items for 90 days. Direct federal funding also will be made available.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder requested the declaration late Thursday, saying needs "far exceed the state's capability," and added that emergency measures could cost $41 million. His letter to Obama painted a bleak picture of the troubled city, describing Flint as an "impoverished area" that has been overwhelmed by the release of lead from old pipes. (Read more)
-Abba Father, we thank You for covering the people of Flint, Michigan and exposing this horrific water problem. We also thank You that Reuters' reports that the state of Michigan has the funds to cover this from a surplus of money that the state has. Thank You that President Obama has stepped in, but it looks like You have already taken care of this problem. We ask that those who have ignored this problem will be held accountable. In His Name we pray, Amen.
-Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; (Romans 3:19)
3. Justices Take Up Obama's Amnesty Orders - Gary Bauer
The Supreme Court announced today that it would take up a lawsuit from dozens of states challenging the constitutionality of President Obama's executive orders granting a quasi-amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.
The president's "deferred action" program has been suspended for nearly a year since a federal judge declared that Obama exceeded his authority. An appeals court upheld that ruling in November. Oral arguments are expected to take place in April with a decision coming this summer.
- Father, we thank You that the president's program has been suspended. We pray for the decision this summer to be in favor of the states who have challenged the constitutionality of the president's executive order.
- When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously. (Daniel 6:10)
4. 'Saeed Is Free:' Naghmeh Abedini Thanks Franklin Graham, Jay Sekulow and Millions of Petitioners - Christian Post
Naghmeh Abedini, the wife of released Pastor Saeed Abedini, has thanked President Barack Obama, the Rev. Franklin Graham, the various groups that campaigned for her husband's release, and the millions of people around the world who signed petitions for the cause.
"I wanted to say thank you to all of you for having prayed and have wept with us, have signed petitions and have called your government officials. Thank you for having stood with our family during this difficult journey," Abedini wrote on Facebook late on Sunday, just hours after her husband was finally released from Iranian prison. (Read more)
- Father God, we continue to rejoice with Naghmeh that her dear husband is now out of prison, and has returned to the United States. Praise God!
- "Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord!" (Psalm 150:6)
5. Kerry on the Still-Missing Bob Levinson: 'I Feel Horrible For The Family' - CNSNews.com
Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday the Iranians were "cooperating" in efforts to trace the missing retired FBI agent Bob Levinson, acknowledging how hard it must be for his family since five other Americans held by Iran have now been released. "I feel horrible for the family," he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "I know it's very, very difficult for his family to see these other folks come back and not have answers."
Levinson's wife of 40 years, Christine, told reporters on Monday the family learned from television news reports that he would not be among the Americans returning from Iran. "We had to learn it from the TV ourselves, and that's very disappointing and heartbreaking," she said. (Read more)
-Abba Father, we speak comfort to the Levinson family. We pray that You will empower those who know where Bob Levinson is to speak out and end this torturous ordeal for this family. It is time for closure. In His Name we pray, Amen.
-Then all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Surely I will go down to Sheol in mourning for my son." So his father wept for him. (Genesis 37:35)
6. Syrian opposition faction: Russia is bombing civilians, not ISIS - Jerusalem Post
A prominent Syrian opposition faction is challenging Russia's claims that a well-documented air strike it carried out in Syria targeted ISIS positions, claiming instead that the attack targeted civilians unconnected to the terrorist group. New video released by the media institution of Ahrar al-Sham, one of the largest Syrian opposition groups, presents ostensible evidence of the Russian bombardment of Syrian civilians. (Read more)
- Abba Father, we cry out to You for mercy for these refugees. Abba, Russia is protecting President Bashir Assad. Russia has come into this debacle on the side of the Syrian regime and is attacking those who fight against Assad. Abba, only You can stop this injustice. Only You are God, and we have no other. We cry out to You for Your intervention in the Middle East. In His Name we pray, Amen.
-You destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit. (Psalm 5:6)
7. ISIS confirms death of 'Jihadi John' - Fox News
For the first time, a propaganda magazine for the Islamic State terror group included an admission that the notorious militant known as "Jihadi John" was dead.
It appears in the latest edition of the magazine Dabiq. U.S. officials had previously said an airstrike killed him in Syria in November.
The magazine reports "Jihadi John," otherwise known as Mohammed Emwazi, was born in Kuwait and traveled to the United Kingdom when he was young.
He had figured prominently in a string of ISIS beheading videos, but analysts said he eventually became an outcast as U.S. and British intelligence teams devoted more time and resources to finding him.
"His harshness towards the kuffar (disbelievers) was manifested through deeds that enraged all the nations, religions, and factions of kufr, the entire world bearing witness to this," the Dabiq article said, according to a translation provided by SITE. (Read more)
- Lord God, we know You take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and neither do we, for if a wicked man dies without repentance and salvation, he is condemned to an eternity without You. We ask You to comfort the parents of this terrorist, and help them and many others to come to faith in You. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
- "'I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways!'" (Ezek. 33:11)
8. US West Coast Earthquake Warning as Cascadia Subduction Zone Surges - Eugene Daily News
An ocean data buoy is alerting to an "event" in the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the west coast of Oregon. This is where a magnitude 9 earthquake hit in 1700. According to the data buoy, the water column height (depth) fell sharply within minutes off the coast of Oregon, signaling the land beneath the ocean has suddenly "sunk." This means a Tectonic Plate in the Ocean named the "Juan de Fuca Plate" has made a sudden, eastward movement and slipped beneath another Tectonic Plate named the "North American Plate." This type of event is usually followed by a massive upward movement of the North American Plate causing a very severe earthquake. (Read more)
[Note: This is intended for public awareness, not a live warning.]
- Father, we pray Your intervention in this possible future severe earthquake. Protect this region. Correct these Tectonic Plates, in Jesus Name.
- And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:(Hebrews 1: 10-12)
9. German Jewish leaders: We are no longer safe here - Jerusalem Post
The spokesman for Hamburg's Jewish community, Daniel Killy, said deteriorating security in Germany has led to a highly dangerous situation for Jews.
"No, we are no longer safe here," Killy told the news outlet tagesschau.de on Tuesday. He said the disintegration of state power, excesses of the extreme right-wing, the loss of political credibility, and "the terrible fear of naming Islamism as such" have contributed to an insecure environment for Jews.
Hamburg's Jewish community has nearly 2,500 members. (Read more)
-Abba Father, we know that You are in control of all things. But it is with much sadness that we hear that Your chosen people are once again being persecuted. Not only in Germany, but throughout Europe where there has been an influx of Muslims. Jews are being persecuted here in the USA on college and university campuses. Abba, the lack of knowledge of Your word leads the world to once again follow the Pied Piper of anti-Semitism. Abba, we stand in the gap and ask You to forgive us. We repent. In His Name we pray, Amen.
-And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." (Genesis 12:3)
10. BREAKING NEWS: Dow down more than 300 points as oil, global sell-off drags down US markets - Fox News
Oil prices slide to a 12-year low, global markets plunge sending US stocks into an opening-bell tailspin, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 300 points. (Read more)
- Father, we pray over our economy. Give wisdom to those who are invested in the stock market. May we seek Your plan, and obey Your way of doing things.
- During all that time the people could not see each other, and no one moved. But there was light as usual where the people of Israel lived. (Exodus 10:23)

Inspector General confirms state secrets on Clinton server
In an exclusive story, Fox News reports that it obtained a letter sent January 14 from Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III laying out "the findings of a recent comprehensive review by intelligence agencies that identified "several dozen" additional classified emails -- including specific intelligence known as "special access programs" (SAP). That indicates a level of classification beyond even "top secret," the label previously given to two emails found on her server, and brings even more scrutiny to the presidential candidate's handling of the government's closely held secrets." This is so high level that investigators had to possess a commensurate security clearance.

-Abba Father, we speak comfort to the Levinson family. We pray that You will empower those who know where Bob Levinson is to speak out and end this torturous ordeal for this family. It is time for closure. In His Name we pray, Amen.
-Then all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Surely I will go down to Sheol in mourning for my son." So his father wept for him. (Genesis 37:35)
6. Syrian opposition faction: Russia is bombing civilians, not ISIS - Jerusalem Post
A prominent Syrian opposition faction is challenging Russia's claims that a well-documented air strike it carried out in Syria targeted ISIS positions, claiming instead that the attack targeted civilians unconnected to the terrorist group. New video released by the media institution of Ahrar al-Sham, one of the largest Syrian opposition groups, presents ostensible evidence of the Russian bombardment of Syrian civilians. (Read more)
- Abba Father, we cry out to You for mercy for these refugees. Abba, Russia is protecting President Bashir Assad. Russia has come into this debacle on the side of the Syrian regime and is attacking those who fight against Assad. Abba, only You can stop this injustice. Only You are God, and we have no other. We cry out to You for Your intervention in the Middle East. In His Name we pray, Amen.
-You destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit. (Psalm 5:6)
7. ISIS confirms death of 'Jihadi John' - Fox News
For the first time, a propaganda magazine for the Islamic State terror group included an admission that the notorious militant known as "Jihadi John" was dead.
It appears in the latest edition of the magazine Dabiq. U.S. officials had previously said an airstrike killed him in Syria in November.
The magazine reports "Jihadi John," otherwise known as Mohammed Emwazi, was born in Kuwait and traveled to the United Kingdom when he was young.
He had figured prominently in a string of ISIS beheading videos, but analysts said he eventually became an outcast as U.S. and British intelligence teams devoted more time and resources to finding him.
"His harshness towards the kuffar (disbelievers) was manifested through deeds that enraged all the nations, religions, and factions of kufr, the entire world bearing witness to this," the Dabiq article said, according to a translation provided by SITE. (Read more)
- Lord God, we know You take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and neither do we, for if a wicked man dies without repentance and salvation, he is condemned to an eternity without You. We ask You to comfort the parents of this terrorist, and help them and many others to come to faith in You. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
- "'I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways!'" (Ezek. 33:11)
8. US West Coast Earthquake Warning as Cascadia Subduction Zone Surges - Eugene Daily News
An ocean data buoy is alerting to an "event" in the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the west coast of Oregon. This is where a magnitude 9 earthquake hit in 1700. According to the data buoy, the water column height (depth) fell sharply within minutes off the coast of Oregon, signaling the land beneath the ocean has suddenly "sunk." This means a Tectonic Plate in the Ocean named the "Juan de Fuca Plate" has made a sudden, eastward movement and slipped beneath another Tectonic Plate named the "North American Plate." This type of event is usually followed by a massive upward movement of the North American Plate causing a very severe earthquake. (Read more)
[Note: This is intended for public awareness, not a live warning.]
- Father, we pray Your intervention in this possible future severe earthquake. Protect this region. Correct these Tectonic Plates, in Jesus Name.
- And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:(Hebrews 1: 10-12)
9. German Jewish leaders: We are no longer safe here - Jerusalem Post
The spokesman for Hamburg's Jewish community, Daniel Killy, said deteriorating security in Germany has led to a highly dangerous situation for Jews.
"No, we are no longer safe here," Killy told the news outlet tagesschau.de on Tuesday. He said the disintegration of state power, excesses of the extreme right-wing, the loss of political credibility, and "the terrible fear of naming Islamism as such" have contributed to an insecure environment for Jews.
Hamburg's Jewish community has nearly 2,500 members. (Read more)
-Abba Father, we know that You are in control of all things. But it is with much sadness that we hear that Your chosen people are once again being persecuted. Not only in Germany, but throughout Europe where there has been an influx of Muslims. Jews are being persecuted here in the USA on college and university campuses. Abba, the lack of knowledge of Your word leads the world to once again follow the Pied Piper of anti-Semitism. Abba, we stand in the gap and ask You to forgive us. We repent. In His Name we pray, Amen.
-And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." (Genesis 12:3)
10. BREAKING NEWS: Dow down more than 300 points as oil, global sell-off drags down US markets - Fox News
Oil prices slide to a 12-year low, global markets plunge sending US stocks into an opening-bell tailspin, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 300 points. (Read more)
- Father, we pray over our economy. Give wisdom to those who are invested in the stock market. May we seek Your plan, and obey Your way of doing things.
- During all that time the people could not see each other, and no one moved. But there was light as usual where the people of Israel lived. (Exodus 10:23)

Inspector General confirms state secrets on Clinton server
In an exclusive story, Fox News reports that it obtained a letter sent January 14 from Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III laying out "the findings of a recent comprehensive review by intelligence agencies that identified "several dozen" additional classified emails -- including specific intelligence known as "special access programs" (SAP). That indicates a level of classification beyond even "top secret," the label previously given to two emails found on her server, and brings even more scrutiny to the presidential candidate's handling of the government's closely held secrets." This is so high level that investigators had to possess a commensurate security clearance.
Fox reported: "EXCLUSIVE: Hillary Clinton's emails on her unsecured, homebrew server contained intelligence from the U.S. government's most secretive and highly classified programs. The Inspector General wrote the letter to lawmakers with intelligence community and State Department oversight." Quoting from the letter, Fox reports, "To date, I have received two sworn declarations from one [intelligence community] element. These declarations cover several dozen emails containing classified information determined by the IC element to be at the confidential, secret, and top secret/sap levels... According to the declarant, these documents contain information derived from classified IC element sources."
Fox further reports, "According to court documents, former CIA Director David Petraeus was prosecuted for sharing intelligence from special access programs with his biographer and mistress Paula Broadwell. At the heart of his prosecution was a non-disclosure agreement where Petraeus agreed to protect these closely held government programs, with the understanding "unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention or negligent handling ... could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation." Clinton signed an identical non-disclosure agreement Jan. 22, 2009." Clinton's campaign spokesman says its all political and that the IG is working with Republicans to undermine Clinton's presidential campaign."
Daily Jot sources familiar with security clearances indicate that many people have been fired and prosecuted for far less than what Clinton has done with classified material. That she would have a private, unsecured email server with sensitive State Department information in her house should be enough to indict her. She has conducted herself illegally and/or unethically. Her continuous conspiratorial blame shifting to the news media, law enforcement, and Republicans is the same way her husband handled his scandals, and any other issue threatening the Clinton image. She is unfit to become president of the United States. Jesus said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." Clinton's deception and gross negligence in handling state secrets is an indicator both of her character and of how she would handle the presidency.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
