Headline News, and Prayers, from IFA
1. WHERE IS JUSTICE?
After two years, 25.2 million dollars, 19 lawyers, 40 agents, analysts, accountants and staff, 500 witnesses, 50 orders, 13 requests for evidence and information from foreign governments, 2,800 subpoenas, 500 search warrants, 230 communication orders, the Special Counsel resulted in no indictments on collusion. In fact the Mueller Report found no collusion, interference, or obstruction of justice by the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump in the 2016 election. Does that mean that justice has been served?
While we didn't learn of any grand plot by President Trump to collude with a foreign government or illegally interfere with the 2016 elections, we did learn some interesting things through the course of the Special Counsel. We learned that real, actual crimes by persons within the government who did attempt to interfere with the 2016 elections, by submitting false information for illegal surveillance, unethical behavior, misuse of power, and more. Who? Not Donald Trump, but Strzok, Page, Brazile, McCabe, Comey, and even Clinton. Now that we know these facts, will we see justice? How can we pray for it? (Read full article here.)
- We want to desire and pursue what is true and just--help us as a nation to value these things. Bring justice to these unlawful actions in our government, Lord.
2. REP. NUNES PLANS TO ACT ON FALSE CLAIMS OF RUSSIAN COLLUSION
(This is a video report. You can access this news by going here.)
- Lord God, we pray for bipartisan support of truth seeking in Congress. We pray also for a new wave of justice and righteousness in our government.
3. MORE CALLS FOR SCHIFF TO RESIGN POSITION
Today's unprecedented call for the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee to resign is the result of chronic leaking and other misconduct - some of it illegal - by Chairman Adam Schiff and his staff.
Fred Fleitz, now President of the Center for Security Policy, denounced this illegal activity in an interview on Fox News last November. He predicted that, once Schiff took over as committee chairman in January, systematic leaks under his supervision would severely compromise American intelligence capabilities.
Fleitz, who had served as a staffer on the House Intelligence Committee, flatly accused Schiff and his staff of illegally leaking. (Read more)
- Lord, show those in authority your ways. We rely on your word for the blueprint of our character and conduct.
4. HEALTHCARE BACK IN THE NEWS--DO YOU HAVE THE FACTS?
President Donald Trump told reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday that the Republican Party would soon be known as the "party of healthcare." He reiterated that commitment in the Oval Office on Wednesday, claiming Republicans would have a health care plan that is "far better than Obamacare." . . . Still, President Trump already has significant achievements on health care that can be summarized as follows: more choice, lower prices, life-saving drugs. (Read more here)
- Lord God, help the Trump Administration tackle healthcare in a way that will benefit most Americans. And help us all understand and know the facts about what is wrong with our country's healthcare and what changes can be made.

Democrats refuse Mueller findings, counter-coup emerges
Like its counterpart in the Senate, the House Select Committee on Intelligence traditionally has been one of the most bipartisan in Congress because the national security is so acutely tied to confidentiality and demonstration of strength through putting America first and politics a far second. Enter neo communist Adam Schiff (D-CA) who now chairs the committee for the Democratic Party majority. Schiff has been one of the most outspoken of the current Administration. So much so, that the entire Republican delegation on the committee has called for his immediate resignation as chairman because of his refusal to accept the Special Counsel's report clearing President Trump of wrongdoing.
Congressman Mike Conaway (R-TX) read the letter before the committee Thursday. He said, "Your willingness to continue to promote a demonstrably false narrative is alarming. The findings of the Special Counsel conclusively refute your past and present assertions, and have exposed you as having abused your position to knowingly promote false information. Having damaged the integrity of this committee, and having undermined the faith in the United States government and its institutions, your actions both past and present are incompatible with your duty as chairman of this committee. As such, we have no faith in your ability to discharge your duties in a manner consistent with your Constitutional responsibility and urge your immediate resignation as Chairman of this Committee."
After saying that he accepted the Special Counsel's report, Schiff then responded with his liturgy of charges against Trump, totally countering the very findings of the Special Counsel. Schiff listed dozens of the same accusations that the media and the Democratic Party have been and continue to use against Trump and his Administration. He punctuated each accusation by beginning it with, "You might say it's OK to . . ." and ending it with, "I don't think it's OK." He insisted Trump colluded with Russia, saying it was immoral, unethical and unpatriotic. He refused to allow Republicans to respond to his angry retort. Schiff's double-speak shows he does not accept the Special Counsel's findings as he said he does.
The recent Democratic Party media talking points on the Special report ignore the findings of the very report the Democrats instigated. The line that is repeated by Schiff and other Democratic Party leaders is: "There is obvious evidence of collusion and obstruction." The two key findings of the report were that there was no collusion or obstruction. Yet, these people continue to refuse to accept the findings of the very investigation they demanded. Meanwhile, Ranking Republican on the Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes (R-CA) told Fox News that committee Republicans will submit criminal referrals to the Department of Justice for false claims committed regarding the Russian investigation. Proverbs 12:22 says, "Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight." May there be justice in truth.
Have a blessed and powerful day,

Media now calling for Truth
The problem with the outrageous, hate-filled lies the Democratic Party leadership has been spewing, not only in the wake of the Mueller Special Counsel report, but also previous to that, is the news media being their mouthpiece. While we know that the neo-communists in the Democratic Party are playing politics, the news media is supposed to be unbiased in its reporting. It has not been. The pasty faced news commentators received a deep blow of reality when the Mueller report cleared the President and his campaign. They had been participating in the blood lust of partisan politics and now they should be embarrassed and owe the American people not only an apology, but also a change in their biased reporting.
One such media outlet that recognized its fault was The Hill. The Hill was totally on the anti-Trump bandwagon, repeating any and all the nasty lies of the left. But it has issued an apology to the President and to the American people and is calling for finding out who the people are that "actually took proven, concrete steps to interfere in the 2016 election and sabotage Trump's presidency, beginning in its earliest days." Investigative Journalist Sharyl Attkisson writes on behalf of The Hill, "We did a poor job of tracking down leaks of false information. We failed to reasonably weigh the motives of anonymous sources and those claiming to have secret, special evidence of Trump's "treason." As such, we reported a tremendous amount of false information, always to Trump's detriment.
"And when we corrected our mistakes, we often doubled down more than we apologized. We may have been technically wrong on that tiny point, we would acknowledge. But, in the same breath, we would insist that Trump was so obviously guilty of being Russian President Vladimir Putin's puppet that the technical details hardly mattered. So, a round of apologies seem in order. Apologies to Trump on behalf of those in the U.S. intelligence community, including the Department of Justice and the FBI, which allowed the weaponization of sensitive, intrusive intelligence tools against innocent citizens such as Carter Page, an adviser to Trump's presidential campaign.
"Apologies also to Page himself, to Jerome Corsi, Donald Trump, Jr., and other citizens whose rights were violated or who were unfairly caught up in surveillance or the heated pursuit of charges based on little more than false, unproven opposition research paid for by Democrats and the Hillary Clinton campaign." Attkisson went through a list of apologies pointing out the wrongdoing of the FISA Court and those in the intelligence community against not only the President, but also the American people. The rest of the media should fess up and end this criminal coup attempt that has violated all Americans. John the Baptist exhorted the Pharisees and Sadducees that he called vipers, saying in Matthew 3:8, "Bring forth therefore fruits suitable for repentance." The media can do that by ceasing to cover these liars' empty accusations.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Huge Pro-Life Victory: Dr. James Dobson Defeats Obamacare's
'Assault on Religious Freedom'
The five-year legal fight was all about the Obamacare abortion coverage mandate which was being used to force Christian organizations to violate their Biblical values.
A federal district court ruled on Tuesday the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute and its "Family Talk" radio program do not have to provide the type of healthcare coverage that leads to abortions. The court declared that the Obamacare abortion mandate-which forced even Christian ministries to provide abortion-inducing drugs-violates the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Dr. James Dobson issued this statement celebrating the ruling:
"The assault on religious freedom launched against us and those who share our values has finally been repelled. We are grateful to God and to our supporters for standing with us as we fought for all those like us."
"Because of this ruling, every religious institution-not just ours-has greater legal standing to combat the threats of extinction unless they provide a health plan that includes abortion-inducing drugs. In addition, precedents are now set in the law that will make it much harder for governments, whether federal, state, or local, to attempt to so brazenly disregard our religious liberties in the future. Yet, it is still true that the price of liberty is determined vigilance," he says.
Dobson points out that the Obamacare mandate could have wipe-out numerous Christian ministries.
"When we filed our case in January 2014, our ministry, like every other pro-life and religious organization in the country, faced a life or death decision," Dobson said. "Christian organizations like ours had one of two choices-either we violate our consciences, or we violate the law. The penalty for failing to comply with the ACA regulations was $36,500 per year for every covered employee and family member-clearly unsustainable for any non-profit ministry."
President Obama's Affordable Care Act required all organizations to pay for abortion drugs like the so-called 'Morning After Pill' or 'Plan B.'
"These pills are erroneously called contraceptives, when in truth they allow babies to be conceived but prevent them from attaching to the uterus. When that occurs, a living baby, a child made in the image of God, is killed. That's why these medications are called 'abortifacients,' because they result in the deaths of tiny human beings," Dobson explained. (CBN/Breaking Christian News) Read more.

On March 26, the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Eric D. Hargan, testified before the House Budget Committee on the HHS Budget. During the hearing, Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) spoke in support of the final Protect Life (Title X) Rule and conscience protection.
On March 27, the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health marked up H.R. 1425, the State Health Care Premium Reduction Act, sponsored by Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN). H.R. 1425 establishes cost-sharing reductions (CSRs) and reinsurance without necessary safeguards to prevent these sources of taxpayer funding from going to insurance plans that cover abortion. During the mark-up, Subcommittee Ranking Member Michael Burgess (R-TX) offered an amendment that would have included Hyde protections. This amendment failed to pass by a vote of 15-12. The vote was along party lines, with 3 Democrats and 2 Republicans failing to vote. During the mark-up, Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) spoke in support of the Hyde Amendment, noting that, "Since 1976, there have been a total of 4,072 House Democratic votes for the Labor-HHS bills that included the Hyde language." A full committee mark-up of H.R. 1425 is expected on Wednesday, April 3, 2019.

News from International Prayer Connect
Greetings!
We are pleased to bring you IPC Connections for April 2019.We trust you will be blessed and encouraged as you read the editorial this month, which is an exhortation to know and experience the Glory of God. (Psalm 34)
We thank God for the declaration that the so-called Islamic State has been crushed, with the final few militants being disarmed in Syria this week.
We are thankful for answered prayers last month following the stand-off between Pakistan and India - see the article below. We continue to uphold Afghanistan and Nigeria where there are militant strongholds.
We also spotlight Australia, India and Indonesia in this edition, who have forthcoming elections.International Prayer Connections is produced and distributed freely each month to inform God's praying people around the world.
We are grateful to those who have given generously to enable this to happen and continue to need such support for this and our other transformational prayer initiatives.
Thank you for partnering with us in prayer in these crucial times.
Wishing you His continued blessings, equipping and guidance in 2019.

Operation Restoration
BULLETIN!! PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW NUMBER AND ACCESS CODE:
712-770-5350
150411#
Once each week, on Sunday mornings and for 24 hours, join with others in OPERATION RESTORATION . . .
"Operation Restoration"
This initiative is based upon the Move of the Spirit that was launched last month during Operation Refiner's Fire. The LORD has shown us that He has used those fires to ignite the FIRE of the HOLY SPIRIT to visit our people, which He now yearns to keep burning among our people until the day of His return!
"Operation Restoration" is based on the promise of Scripture, recorded in
2 Chronicles 7:14,15.
It is written:
. . . "and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."
This is a weekly Solemn Assembly, where saints can feel free to gather each Sunday, to offer prayers of repentance before our Lord, for the many sins our nation has committed before Him.
Abba so desires to hear our prayers . . . He is just waiting to heal us!
You can join us, any Sunday, beginning at 9:00 a.m. EST by calling:
712-770-5350
Access Code: 150411##
Each
week, our conference line for Operation Restoration will remain open until
Monday morning at 9:00 a.m.EST -- allowing for 24 hours of nonstop prayer
before our King of Kings, that He might, indeed, "heal our land."
Amen. Access Code: 150411##

Our Weekly Prayer Focus:
for the week of March 31 - April 6, 2019
Released by The National Prayer Embassy
Focus: THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER
The first Thursday each May is the official National Day of
Prayer in America.On May 2nd this year many special prayer vigils and rallies are being planned for cities and towns across our nation. Public school students will gather around their flagpoles for 7:00 a.m. prayer.
Citizens will gather at their closest city halls or other government buildings for noon hour prayer throughout the day and especially in the evening of May 2nd many communities will hold joint church prayer services.
Some are organizing prayer tours using vehicles to pass the main buildings associated with the government, media, economy and military in each community, using them as reminders to pray for each specific concern.
Let's us pray about all of this today:
"Father God, we thank you for helping us to bring forth on the National Day of Prayer those fervent and effectual prayers based on Your word, led by your spirit and multiplied in unity that will avail much good for our nation and world. We thank You, Lord, for good weather leading up to and on May 2nd to facilitate all of the outdoor prayer meetings.
We thank You, Lord, for helping all those working now to organize prayer meetings for the National Day of Prayer, and for helping us to make every day a day of prayer by our nation and for our nation and for all nations, in Jesus' name, Amen!"
Each month, the NPE publishes key issues to be aware of for prayer for the month ahead. With their permission, we will publish their prayer alerts each week in 2019.
