1. 14 Out Of 15 UNSC Member States Condemn Israeli Sovereignty On Golan- Jerusalem Post
For the second time this week, United Nations Security Council members are set to condemn the US decision to recognize Israel's 1981 annexation of the Golan Heights.
Syria asked the UNSC to hold a special meeting on the matter on Wednesday in New York.
It followed a UNSC meeting Tuesday, in which 11 of the council's 15 member states condemned the proclamation US President Donald Trump made on Israeli sovereignty in the Golan this week, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House.
It is unlikely that any action will be taken in the meeting, because the US is one of five permanent UNSC members who have veto power.

2. Israeli Politicians To EU: Shame On You For Opposing Golan Sovereignty - Jerusalem Post
Israeli right-wing politicians lashed back at the European Union for its "shameful" rejection of Israeli sovereignty on the Golan Heights, calling its 28 nations "peace refuseniks."
"Minutes ago the EU announced that it would not recognize the Golan Heights as part of the state of Israel," Far Right Party head and Education Minister Naftali Bennett said in a video message he posted on Twitter.
"We could add to that the fact that the EU does not recognize Jerusalem as our capital," he wrote, adding "Shame on you."
"The Golan heights and Jerusalem and the Land of Israel has been the home of the Jewish people thousands of years before France was the home of the French and the United Kingdom the home of the British," Bennett said.
"So we will continue building our amazing country. We will continue defending the free world from radical Islam, even though you do not deserve it," Bennett said.

3.'The time for restraint has ended' - Israel National News
Maj. Gen. (Res.) Uzi Dayan, the former deputy chief of staff and now one of the Likud party's candidates for the Knesset, said that the leaders of the Blue and White party are the last ones who should be criticizing the government's response to the rocket fire from Gaza.
"There have been arguments in the past about whether to overthrow the Hamas government or not. [Former Defense Minister Moshe] Ya'alon said that we should not do it but fight and not topple it because it would strengthen the PA. Our competitors, the party of the former chiefs of staff say that we should have responded, but exactly where will you all? After all, you were in these places and did not say this and did not present plans to overthrow Hamas, but you were always preaching caution and said 'the political echelon should tell us what to do,'" Dayan told Arutz Sheva.

4. Despite lull, 'fighting may resume at any moment' - Israel Hayom
Palestinians fired rockets from Gaza into Israel on Tuesday night, drawing retaliatory airstrikes and breaking a day-long lull in fighting between Israel and Hamas
At least two rockets launched from Gaza triggered sirens on the Israeli side of the border, the military said.
Earlier on Tuesday, a senior Israeli official said that despite the emerging lull, "the fighting may resume at any moment."
The official further stressed "there is no cease-fire agreement" and that Israel reserves the right to strike Hamas.
The next big test comes on Friday when Palestinians are expected to launch massive demonstrations on Gaza border fence to mark a year of weekly protests.

5. Explosions Rock Aleppo Airport, Syrians Blame Israeli Attack - Jewish Press
Syrian sources are blaming Israel for at least two waves of air strikes that were carried out late Wednesday night in northern Syria in the area of Nayreb Airport outside of Aleppo. Loud explosions were heard at an Iranian arms depot in the area, according to local sources who blamed Israeli warplanes for the attacks.
The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) issued a statement saying, "A military source announced . . . the army air defenses intercepted an Israeli air aggression that targeted a number of industrial sites in Sheikh Najar industrial region to the northeastern side of Aleppo and downed a number of the hostile missiles. The source added that the damages were restricted to materials only."
Several sites and warehouses belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in the south and east the city were targeted, according to local reports. Syrian air defenses were activated.

1. Exclusive - Devin Nunes Sending Criminal Referral to DOJ over Spygate: 'Time to Go on Offense' - Breitbart
House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) is planning to send a criminal referral next week to the Justice Department that will detail "multiple referrals on a number of different crimes," including leaking classified information, as part of his investigation into misconduct at the Justice Department and the FBI.
In addition, Nunes plans to interview about 50 people-some who have never been called before Congress-who were involved or know about the pushing of the dossier within various U.S. government agencies, and its use to get a surveillance warrant on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Nunes said he believes Barr will have to act on his criminal referral. "There'll be things in there that cannot be ignored. There will be crimes . . . so they have to be dealt with," he told Breitbart News. He told Fox News on Tuesday he would target "people who lied to Congress, perjury, [and] criminal conspiracy."

2. Michigan GOP "Energized" For President Trump's First Major Appearance Since Mueller Conclusions - WBCK
President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" rally in Grand Rapids [Thursday] night will be his first major appearance since the summary of the Mueller investigation reportedly cleared the president and his campaign of colluding with Russia.
Trump supporters are more amped up than ever as Executive Director of the Kent County GOP told FOX 17 that news of the conclusions of the Mueller investigation will fuel an already energetic crowd at the rally.
Meanwhile, Michigan Democrats in Congress aren't as quick to say that the investigation is actually over. They want the full Mueller report and its underlying documents to be made public. The rally will be held at Van Andel Arena at 7:00 pm Thursday. (Read more)
- Father, we pray for an angelic escort to protect President Trump at all times, day and night. Give him peace as he rests and confidence of Your hand upon him.
- Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me. (Psalm 138:7)
3. Trump Signs First Directive to Prevent EMP Attacks Against US - CBN News
President Trump is taking an unprecedented step to protect America's electrical grid with a new executive order to prevent electromagnetic pulse attacks (EMP). On Tuesday, the president signed the order directing all federal agencies to identify threats posed by EMPs, which experts say could be potentially dangerous to the US electric grid and other infrastructure systems. Trump's directive orders the government agencies to find ways to guard against electromagnetic attacks.
The White House said the order is the first even to "establish a comprehensive policy to improve resilience to EMPs." White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement that the order will create an environment "that promotes private-sector innovation to strengthen our critical infrastructure." (Read more)
- Father God, only You can truly protect us from solar storms and EMP attacks. Help our leadership to have the wisdom to do what is necessary, while we ultimately look to You for our protection.
- My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:2)
4. Top US border official: 'The breaking point has arrived,' with 100,000 encounters in March - Washington Examiner
The top U.S. border official said Wednesday the number of people encountered and apprehended at the southern border will top 100,000 in March, the highest amount reported in one month in 12 years.
"Two weeks ago, I briefed the media and testified in Congress that immigration was at the breaking point. That breaking point has arrived this week at our border," Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan told reporters in El Paso, Texas, Wednesday.
"We are now on pace for more than 100,000 apprehensions and encounters with migrants in March, with 90 percent - 90,000 people - are instead almost guaranteed to remain in the U.S. indefinitely, regardless of the merits of their immigration or asylum claim," he said. (Read more)
- Father, our watchmen are overwhelmed and need Your wisdom to know what to do next. We pray for more help from Mexico to stem this flow of South Americans across our border.
- Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.
(Proverbs 3:29)
5. Trump taps Air Force general to head US Space Command - Washington Examiner
President Trump tapped Air Force Gen. John Raymond on Tuesday to head the U.S. Space Command that Trump authorized the creation of last year.
According to the Pentagon, Raymond will at least temporarily serve as both commander of U.S. Space Command and as commander of Air Force Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado, where he is serving presently - provided he is confirmed.
The creation of the Space Command, which is designed to expedite U.S. space capabilities and will focus on countering threats to U.S. space systems, was approved by Trump in December 2018. The command, which previously existed from 1985-2002, is different from creating the Space Force as a separate branch of the military. (Read more)
- Father, we pray for Your blessing upon General Raymond as he leads this important mission for our defense.
- Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-11)
6. Rubio, Romney, Roll Out Paid Family Leave Proposal - Free Beacon
The New Parents Act was introduced by Sens. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) and Mitt Romney (R., Utah), and Reps. Ann Wagner (R., Mo.) and Dan Crenshaw (R., Texas). "Our economic policies have left young, working families behind at a time when our marriage and childbirth rates are falling," Rubio said at a press conference Wednesday. "It is time to realign our economic policies in support of American families, which is why I am proud to re-introduce the New Parents Act."
At a time when childcare costs are higher than ever, lost income during the first three months of life may deter parents from staying home with their new kids. This matters because research shows that being able to stay home is linked to better bonding and better health in the first year of life, as well as higher rates of moms returning to work.
The New Parents Act would implement a paid family leave regime through the same approach taken by other Republican proposals: allowing new parents to draw social security benefits, up to a variable percentage of their normal income, for up to three months following birth or adoption. These drawdowns would be repaid by either delaying retirement by the amount of time taken, or by receiving a proportional reduction in payments for the first five years of retirement.(Read more)
- Father, we pray this proposal will effectively help families care and bond with their little ones.
- But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. (Psalm 131:2)
7. Soros Bankrolled Unverified 'Hate Crime' Database Used by Major Media Outlets - Free Beacon
Liberal billionaire George Soros bankrolled a massive "hate crime" database, ProPublica, that is used by more than 100 media partners-including Google News Labs, New York Times Opinion, and ABC News - to report alleged hate crimes, according to tax documents and interviews.
The database, launched following the election of President Donald Trump, is "unverified" and receives stories of alleged "hate" from the likes of the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization currently in upheaval over charges of institutional racism perpetrated by its recently fired co-founder, Morris Dees, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights group that was previously listed as an unindicted co-conspirator of terrorism.
The project received hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding from George Soros's Foundation to Promote Open Society, according to the group's most recent tax forms. Tofel said that the $375,000 contribution was used for "Documenting Hate" in 2017, while the $200,000 donation was used for 2018 so the group could maintain and continue the project. Soros was the first funder of the project; his grants expired in December. Google is now the funder of the project, according to Tofel.(Read more)
- Father, we pray this exposure will be the end of ProPublica as a news source for the media.
- May slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down the violent. (Psalm 140:11)
8. Pennsylvania state Dems slam Republican's prayer as 'offensive,' bigoted - Fox News
Pennsylvania state Democrats branded as "offensive" a Republican's decision Monday to open a voting session with a prayer and a thank-you to President Trump for supporting Israel, with some Dems claiming to be "horrified" by the remarks and accusing the female lawmaker of Islamophobia.
State Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, a Republican and associate pastor's wife who was elected to the state House in November, was accused of bigotry after she invoked the name of Jesus at least 13 times just before the Legislature swore in its first Muslim woman at the Statehouse in Harrisburg.
"God forgive us - Jesus - we've lost sight of you, we've forgotten you, God, in our country, and we're asking you to forgive us," Borowicz said added. She then praised President Trump for his support of Israel. "I claim all these things in the powerful, mighty name of Jesus, the one who, at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess, Jesus, that you are Lord, in Jesus' name," Borowicz said. The Republican state representative defended her prayer Monday, saying that, "I pray every day." (Read more)
- Father God, we thank You for the precious prayer Representative Borowicz shared from her heart. We pray, Lord, the reaction to her prayer will not lead to censorship of future prayers. Protect those who wish to lift You high within our chambers of government.
- Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. (1 Timothy 2:8)
9. Trump Tells Russia to Get Its Troops Out of Venezuela - Free Beacon
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday called on Russia to pull its troops from Venezuela and warned that "all options" were open to make that happen. The arrival of two Russian air force planes carrying nearly 100 Russian troops outside Caracas on Saturday has escalated the political crisis in Venezuela.
Russia and China have backed President Nicolas Maduro, while the United States and most Western countries support opposition leader Juan Guaido. In January, he invoked the constitution to assume the country's interim presidency, arguing Maduro's 2018 re-election was illegitimate.
"Russia has to get out," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, where he met with Guaido's wife, Fabiana Rosales. Earlier at the White House, Rosales met Vice President Mike Pence, and told him that power outages and food shortages were hurting children in her country. "They are trying to break our morale. They want to submerge us in eternal darkness. But let me tell you that there is light, and the light is here," Rosales told Pence. (Read more)
- Father, we pray for an end to the suffering of the Venezuelan people and a restoration of hope, especially, hope in You. Revive them, in Jesus' Name.
- Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name. (Psalm 80:18)
10. Taliban Fighters Freed From Guantanamo Now Face U.S. in Peace Talks - Free Beacon
The five senior members of the Afghan Taliban who were freed from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in exchange for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in 2014 now face American diplomats and military officials in peace talks over the terms of an American troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Khairkhwa and four other fighters were held at Guantanamo for 13 years, before the Obama administration released them in a prisoner exchange for Bergdahl, the only known American soldier who the Taliban kept as a prisoner of war. Bergdahl walked off his base in 2009, when the Taliban captured him and subsequently held him prisoner for five years. In October 2017, Bergdahl pleaded guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.
For the Taliban, the conflict with the United States is still very much alive, even as the two sides work through peace talks. "It's been a long war, with lots of casualties and destruction and loss," Khairkhwa told the Times in an interview after the latest peace talks ended. "What gives me hope is that both teams are taking the issue seriously. On every issue, the discussions are serious, and it gives me hope that we will find a way out-as long as there are not spoilers to ruin it." (Read more)
- Father, give President Trump and our negotiators wisdom in how best to remove our troops from Afghanistan and officially end the war.
- He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire. (Psalm 46:9)

More Mueller Report--What you need to know
While it does not specifically point to a coup in progress by the Democratic Party leadership, the deep state within the bowels of government, and Republicans who oppose President Donald Trump, there is no doubt a blatant effort to overthrow a duly elected president. This ongoing coup attempt shows no signs of slowing despite the exonerations of the Mueller Special Counsel report. The news media, though partially repentant and admitting it got it wrong, continues to cover the coup-makers in the Democratic Party as if they had some magical pixi-dust to undo what Mueller submitted and make real all their wildest hate-filled dreams of Trump. It's not going to happen. At the same time, the coup attempt continues.
Think about it. The Democrats and news media spent a lot of time speculating how horrible Trump is "IF" he wouldn't accept the results of the election if he lost and the results of the Mueller Report if he were indicted. Oh, how they opined that these reactions would be an undermining of the Constitution and the "democracy" of America. Yet, today, they still do not accept the results of the 2016 election AND they refuse to accept that the Mueller Report cleared the President and his campaign of wrongdoing. Why?--Because they are attempting a coup to overthrow the government and replace it with their brand of neo-communism.
The Democratic Presidential candidates support gun control, lowering the voting age to 16, allowing illegals to vote, and eliminating the electoral college. These are attacks on Constitutional issues that are foundational to the American Republic. It would be next to impossible for these coup-makers to successfully conduct a military coup because the citizens are armed. The only way they can be successful is to make laws and undermine Constitutional rights to win a political coup. Doing away with the electoral college would give New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago the control of America. Lowering the voting age and allowing non-citizens to vote turns the elections into a controllable propaganda effort.
Christ said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." Do not be deceived. Our ministry partner in Ghana, William Agbeti, says, "The whole probe thing looks like the well known tactics that coup makers employ: key accusation(s) they level against a ruling party happen to be the most feared practices they themselves are involved in and want to cover up. Once they accuse the ruling party of such practices, then the likelihood of being accused of the same practice is totally wiped out. With this approach, they never let the issue rest! That will be too dangerous for them!" Agbeti lived through six coups d'etat in Ghana, covering the period 1966-1981. Out of these, only one failed. He has reported on and studied coups and counter coups. He thinks America is looking into the face of an ongoing coup attempt by the Marxist left. I believe him.
Have a blessed and powerful day,

"UNPLANNED" Opens Tomorrow!
Greatest Pro-Life Movie in a Generation to Hit Theaters Tomorrow!
We now quote from The Western Journal:
Fellow Culture Warrior,
The rabid pro-abortion politicians and media are finally showing their true faces. They're openly supporting infanticide -- the killing of little newborn babies.
The new blockbuster theatrical film "Unplanned" is the story of a devoted Planned Parenthood employee who realized the truth about the perverted abortion industry, took a stand, and became an enemy of one of the most powerful organizations in the world.
Whether seen by pro-life or pro-abortion advocates, Abby Johnson's story will shake viewers as it exposes the true depths of depravity Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry will stoop to in order to kill innocent, defenseless babies.
The American people are standing up and turning against the barbaric abortion industry in droves. And that makes the release of "Unplanned" all the more important.
"Unplanned" is one of the most important films in a generation, and it's vital that as many Americans as possible see its jarring story.
Use this link to order tickets for yourself, your family, and your friends to see "Unplanned" when it opens Friday, March 29: Buy Tickets Here

SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS
"He took the children in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them." (Mark 10:16)
Lyrics
Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o'ershaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest. Hark! 'tis the voice of angels, Borne in a song to me. Over the fields of glory, Over the jasper sea.
Refrain
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast
There by His love o'ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe from corroding care, Safe from the world's temptations, Sin cannot harm me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, Free from my doubts and fears; Only a few more trials, Only a few more tears!
Refrain
Jesus, my heart's dear refuge, Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages, Ever my trust shall be. Here let me wait with patience, Wait till the night is over; Wait till I see the morning Break on the golden shore.

Scientists Surprised to Find One Of the Fastest Shrinking Glaciers is Growing Again
One of fastest shrinking ice glaciers in the world is reversing course and starting to accumulate ice at an alarming pace, a new NASA study published Monday finds.
The Jakobshavn glacier, located in Greenland, began thinning around 2012 to nearly 130 feet annually. It's now growing again at about the same rate in the past two years, a study in Nature Geoscience noted. Scientists reacted with surprise, noting that they grew accustomed to the glacier receding.
"That was kind of a surprise. We kind of got used to a runaway system," Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland ice and climate scientist Jason Box told AP reporters Monday. "The good news is that it's a reminder that it's not necessarily going that fast. But it is going."
Jakobshavn is "arguably the most important Greenland glacier because it discharges the most ice in the northern hemisphere. For all of Greenland, it is king," said Box, who was not part of the study. The lead authors of the Nature Geoscience study claimed the natural cyclical cooling of North Atlantic waters was likely the catalyst for the reversal.
(Source: Conservative Daily News) Read more.
- Father God, by reading this report, we see that the myth of "climate change" is, indeed, a lie. The size of a glacier can only increase if the temperature is cooling. Thank You, Lord, for this report, in Your Name, amen.
- "See to it that no one deceives you." (Matthew 24:4)

Ancient Village Unearthed in Israel Provides Proof of Jewish Connection
to Jerusalem
A large Hasmonean-era Jewish agricultural village was uncovered by archaeologists in the Arab neighborhood of Sharafat, with a major, multi-generational burial chamber, olive press, ritual baths, a water cistern, dovecote, rock quarries and jar fragments dating back to the time of the Maccabees, providing concrete evidence of the Jewish history of Jerusalem as far back as 2,150 years ago. The excavation was funded by the Moriah Jerusalem development corporation on behalf of the City of Jerusalem as part of preparation for the construction of a new elementary school in the Muslim and Christian Arab neighborhood of Sharafat, between Jerusalem's Biblical Zoo and the neighborhood of Gilo on the southeastern side of the city.
The Israel Antiquities Authority said that part of the site, which is believed to have been home to a wealthy or important family, may eventually open for an exhibit.
"Such quality craftsmanship of architectural elements is very rare, found mostly in monumental buildings or burial estates in the Jerusalem area, such as the burial estate of the priestly family of Benei Hazir in the Kidron Valley, and several tombs in the Sanhedria neighborhood."
Jerusalem is believed to have grown from 5,000 residents centered around the City of David to 25,000 residents under the Hasmoneans, necessitating increased agriculture around the city.

About Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
Our Mission Statement
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) is a ministry which is positioned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., helping members of the Body of Christ to "pray for those in authority over us" in our federal government.
