1. Christian Broadcaster Daystar's Jerusalem Studio Destroyed by Firebomb - CBN News
JERUSALEM, Israel - The Jerusalem studio of Daystar, one of the largest Christian networks in the world, was firebombed over the weekend. The attack destroyed Daystar's new studio but the network plans to rebuild.
The fire began early Saturday morning when an arsonist threw a firebomb into the facility.
Daystar was in the midst of a major renovation and upgrade of its studio here in Jerusalem overlooking Mount Zion and the Mount of Olives. The fire destroyed the new work and much of the existing facility.
"The control room I would say is probably totally devastated," Dave Sharett, the contractor overseeing the renovations told CBN News. "The controls actually start here with the electric panel, the main electric panel and anything plastic is totally melted."(Read more)
- Abba, we agree in prayer with Daystar asking for protection from any further destruction. We also ask that there be restoration for everything they have lost. We ask in the name of Yeshua, amen
2. Israel okays armored cars for PA security forces, to settlers' chagrin - Times of Israel
Israel has authorized the transfer of 10 armored cars to Palestinian security forces in the West Bank, after years of rejecting such requests, Palestinian media reported Tuesday.
The vehicles provided by the European Union entered the West Bank through Jordan, the report said. It was not clear what led to Israel to okay the entry of the cars at the present time, but the move came amid concerns that the Palestinian Authority could downgrade security cooperation with Israel in the West Bank over a dispute involving tax revenues. Israeli officials say the cooperation is vital for anti-terror efforts. (Read more)
- Heavenly Father, we pray for protection of the cooperation with security between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria. We ask that these cars be used for their true purpose and that no hidden agendas or plans made in darkness would be allowed to occur. In the name of Yeshua, amen.
3. Israel Condemns Top UN Official for Meeting With Hezbollah Leader - Algemeiner
Israel on Tuesday condemned a top UN official for meeting with a Hezbollah leader in Lebanon. A day earlier, UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jan Kubis tweeted, "Grateful for an open and substantive discussion on a broad range of topics with Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem of Hizbullah. On top I received a copy of his book - a necessary reading."
Responding on Tuesday, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon tweeted, "We are shocked and disappointed by this meeting with a designated terror organization's leader, threatening Israel, Lebanon and the whole region. One doesn't need to read the Naim Qassem book, courtesy of #Hezbollah terrorists, in order to understand this!!"
The Israeli military was more snarky, replying to Kubis, "Do you know what else appears to be necessary reading? @UN Resolution 1701." (Read more)
- Abba, we lift up the world leaders to You and ask that You would take the scales off their eyes. We pray that they would see the terrorist organizations for what they are: terrorists. We ask that Your truth would be released upon them and the lies of the enemy would stop filling the hearts and minds of world leaders. We cry out for them to have repentant hearts and a genuine love for Israel. We ask this in the mighty name of Yeshua, amen.
4. Report: PM's lawyers ask to postpone pre-indictment hearing by at least one year - Israel Hayom
Lawyers for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have asked the country's attorney general to postpone a pre-indictment hearing in three criminal corruption cases against the premier by at least a year, the Haaretz daily reported, Tuesday.
Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit had previously said that the hearing must be held by July 10. But he is expected to agree to a hearing by the end of September, with the time allotted for a pre-indictment hearing in Netanyahu's cases shorter than in past cases involving public figures.
Netanyahu's lawyers say that they need more time to properly prepare their defense for the three cases, citing the enormous amount of materials to be examined. While the case files had been available to the premier's legal team from April 10, they were only collected last week after a dispute over payment was partially settled.
A spokesman for Netanyahu said that an interim agreement on payment was made with one of the defense attorneys, Amit Hadad, who is representing the premier while fees are settled with the rest of the defense team. (Read more)
- Heavenly Father, we ask for You Will to be done regarding Prime Minister Netanyahu's hearing. We ask that his lawyers be given everything they need to build their defense for the Prime Minister. Give them the time, the ease of evidence, and show them all truth as well as any areas of deceit that need to be revealed. We pray in the name of Yeshua, amen.
5. IDF sparks outrage with nod to LGBT community, replacing mother and father with 'parent 1', 'parent 2'- World Israel News
The IDF is confirming that a directive has been issued to alter enlistment forms so that the spaces for a soldier's parents will no longer read: Mother and Father, but instead - Parent 1 and Parent 2. The decision, reported on IDF Radio Tuesday morning, has been made to reflect sensitivities toward soldiers who are children of same-sex couples. "The IDF updates and makes changes to its questionnaires periodically in accordance with directives which are received and needs which arise in the application process," said the IDF spokesperson's office. The announcement follows a prolonged campaign waged by LGBT activists. However, it has resulted in reactions of outrage from some religious groups, including one which called on soldiers to cross out the terms 'Parent 1' and 'Parent 2' from the form. (Read more)
- Heavenly Father, please forgive us for allowing pieces of your principles to crumble. We pray for every group and person who has fallen into the political correctness that has engulfed our world today. We stand in the gap and cry out for mercy, when our world has shown that it deserves judgment. We thank You that Your Word is true and you created us male and female, in Your image. Father, forgive us for rejecting Your family model, and creating our own that pleases our flesh. Abba, we pray for the IDF, we pray for the leaders of Israel to have a strong backbone and stand up to those going against Your principles. Release Your truth, in the name of Yeshua, amen.

1. Collusion Narrative Unravels As Transcripts Reveal Lack of Evidence To Obtain A FISA - SaraACarter
President Trump is nearing the end of a three-year battle over now disproven allegations of Russia collusion. Rep. Doug Collins released new transcripts Monday night. Investigative reporter Sara A. Carter pointed to Trisha Anderson's testimony. According to Carter, Anderson was an FBI lawyer who worked in the area of national security who worked directly with James Baker and Lisa Page.
Carter said she believes exculpatory evidence regarding information on Carter Page and George Papadopolous were withheld from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court by FBI officials. "Trisha Anderson basically tries to downplay Bruce Ohr's involvement when they question about being the backchannel for Christopher Steele after the FBI fired him," said Carter.
According to Carter, Anderson evaded repeated questioning as to whether there was enough evidence to obtain a FISA on Trump. Carter said the transcripts - along with other evidence obtained by Congress and the soon to be released DOJ's Inspector General report - will reveal that senior FBI and DOJ officials involved in the Trump campaign investigation with Russia curtailed the rule of law. (Read more)
- Almighty God, we ask for the full exposure of all the corruption surrounding and within our federal government. We pray those guilty of crimes will confess what they have done in order to bring healing to our nation.
- Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (James 5:16)
2. Trump Files Appeal After Judge Upholds Democrats' Subpoena for Financial Records - Epoch Times
Attorneys for President Donald Trump filed an appeal on May 21, challenging a federal judge's ruling to uphold a House committee subpoena seeking financial records from Trump's accounting firm. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, an appointee [and supporter] of President Barack Obama, ruled in favor of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on May 20 and gave Mazars LLP seven days to comply with the committee's subpoena.
Mehta also denied a request by Trump's attorneys to stay the decision pending an appeal. The ruling marked the first time a federal court has weighed in on how far House Democrats can go in probing Trump's business affairs.
Trump's lawyers argued that the subpoena didn't have a valid legislative function and that the Democrats are on a quest to "turn up something" they "can use as a political tool against the president now and in the 2020 election."
"It is simply not fathomable that a Constitution that grants Congress the power to remove a President for reasons including criminal behavior would deny Congress the power to investigate him for unlawful conduct-past or present-even without formally opening an impeachment inquiry," Mehta said.
A judge in Manhattan will hear arguments on May 22 in a similar lawsuit Trump filed to block subpoenas issued to Deutsche Bank AG and Capital One Financial Corp. The effort to obtain Trump's financial records was one of three investigations launched by Democrats on three key House committees on April 3. The other probes are seeking the commander-in-chief's tax returns and the unredacted Mueller report. The number of inquiries led by House Democrats has since grown to ten. (Read more)
- Father, our courts contain judges who pervert justice. We pray for You to give President Trump's legal team wisdom as they move forward and fight for the privacy of every President, now and in the future.
- See, the enemy is puffed up; his desires are not upright-but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness (Habakkuk 2:4)
3. Clarence Thomas rebukes fellow justices over Supreme Court refusal to hear medical malpractice case - Washington Examiner
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas rebuked his fellow justices for declining to hear a case challenging a rule that blocks service members from suing the government for medical malpractice, known as the Feres doctrine. Thomas argued that "Feres was wrongly decided and heartily deserves the widespread, almost universal criticism it has received." Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg also voted with Thomas to advance the case.
"Such unfortunate repercussions - denial of relief to military personnel and distortions of other areas of law to compensate - will continue to ripple through our jurisprudence as long as the court refuses to consider Feres," Thomas wrote in a dissent of the high court's decision Monday.
The case was brought forward after Rebekah "Moani" Daniel died in 2014 at Naval Hospital Bremerton in Washington state. She had given birth to her daughter Victoria and bled to death. Daniel's husband, Coast Guard veteran Walter Daniel, filed a wrongful death lawsuit arguing that the medical team at the hospital did not take appropriate actions to prevent postpartum hemorrhaging. (Read more)
- Father, we lift up the Daniel family and ask You to comfort them in this unconceivable loss. We pray all our military families will receive the competent care they deserve. We also ask for the Supreme Court to take up a case to challenge and overturn the Feres decision.
- Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow. (Isaiah 1:17)
4. President Trump Approves Major Disaster Declaration For Missouri - Breaking 911
Governor Mike Parson announced that President Donald Trump has approved his request for a major disaster declaration to help local governments and nonprofit agencies in 13 Missouri counties recover from devastating flooding and severe storms that occurred from March 11 to April 16.
"This disaster declaration means millions of dollars in vitally important federal reimbursements will be available for communities that are hurting because of damaged and destroyed roads, bridges, and other vitally important infrastructure," Governor Parson said. "I appreciate President Trump making the federal assistance available and all those who are already working to help our Missouri communities recover." The President's declaration also makes available assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Hazard Mitigation Program to prevent or reduce long-term risk to life and property due to natural hazards. (Read more)
- Father God, our hearts go out to all those impacted by spring storms and flooding. We pray this federal disaster relief will bring needed aid to these communities, restoring them.
- Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. (Psalm 71:20)
5. Trump Wants Exceptions in Abortion Bans, Urges Pro-Lifers to 'Stay United' - Christian Headlines
President Trump distanced himself Sunday from Alabama's new law banning abortion, saying he prefers exceptions be made for rape, incest and the life of the mother. He also said his pro-life views mirror those of Ronald Reagan.
"We have come very far in the last two years with 105 wonderful new Federal Judges (many more to come), two great new Supreme Court Justices, the Mexico City Policy, and a whole new & positive attitude about the Right to Life," Trump added.
"The Radical Left, with late-term abortion (and worse), is imploding on this issue. We must stick together and Win for Life in 2020," he wrote. "If we are foolish and do not stay UNITED as one, all of our hard fought gains for Life can, and will, rapidly disappear!" (Read more)
- Father, we are so grateful our nation, overall, rejects abortion and wants to establish laws that honor You and honor all life. Help us hold the ground we have fought so hard to gain while patiently waiting on Your timing for the fullness of victory.
- You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy(Psalm 16:11a)
6. Christian Student Group Wins Lawsuit with University of Colorado - Breitbart
The University of Colorado, Colorado Springs (UCCS) has settled a lawsuit with a Christian student group which forces the university to recognize the group as an official student organization. This week, UCCS settled with the Ratio Christi student group.
The original legal complaint against the university claimed that administrators told students that they could not require their group leader to be a Christian. "It has refused to do so specifically because this religious organization seeks to ensure that its leaders share its beliefs and that its members support its mission, even though other student organizations do the same," the complaint read.
Alliance for Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Travis Barham said that he is pleased with the outcome of the settlement. Barham claims that the settlement included an admission by the university that they failed to uphold the students' right to free association. (Read more)
- Father God, we pray for multiplied blessings upon Ratio Christi as they communicate the Gospel and provide community for college students around the nation.
- Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. (Matthew 10:32)
7. Thomas More Law Center Asks Supreme Court To Decide How Far Schools Can Promote Islam And Disparage Christianity - Education Views
As a Christian and 11th-grader at La Plata High School in Maryland, Caleigh Wood was taught that "Most Muslims' faith is stronger than the average Christian." She was also required to profess in writing, the Islamic conversion creed, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." Ms. Wood refused to complete her anti-Christian assignment and consequently received a failing grade.
The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Ms. Wood claiming the school had violated the First Amendment Establishment Clause and her right not to be forced to profess faith in another religion. Both the Federal District Court and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the High School's Islamic curriculum.
Richard Thompson, TMLC's President and Chief Counsel, observed: "Prompted by zealous Islamic activism and emboldened by confusing court decisions, schools are now bending over backwards to promote Islam while at the same time denigrate Christianity. We are asking the Supreme Court to provide the necessary legal guidance to resolve the insidious discrimination against Christians in our public schools." (Read more)
- Father, we pray the Supreme Court will take up this case and end the promotion of Islam throughout our public schools.
- Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. (Deuteronomy 4:9)
8. Egyptian media outraged by Muslim Brotherhood leaders' visit to State Department - JNS
The New York Times reported that the White House is renewing efforts to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization following Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's recent trip to Washington, D.C. But Egyptian media is outraged, as Akbar al-Hawadeth reports, that a group of Muslim Brotherhood leaders and supporters were received at the State Department ahead of El-Sisi's White House visit.
The Egyptian newspaper cited this incident as yet another example of elements within the State Department undermining U.S. President Trump's pro-Egypt policies.
Akhbar al-Hawadeth specifically noted the presence of Ahmed Shehata, a senior leader of both Islamic Relief USA and the Muslim American Society (MAS), as part of the delegation received by the State Department. The newspaper identified both of Shehata's organizations as Muslim Brotherhood fronts. FBI documents obtained by Judicial Watch also identify MAS as a front for the Muslim Brotherhood, saying that it is controlled by Hamas sympathizers known to conduct firearms and military-style training for its American members.
Their State Department visit was part of a larger "Egypt Advocacy Day" sponsored by Human Rights Watch and the Project on Middle East Democracy. One of the keynote speakers for the event was senior Muslim Brotherhood leader Amr Darrag, former Minister of Planning for deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, and a co-founder of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party. https://www.jns.org/opinion/egyptian-media-outraged-by-muslim-brotherhood-leaders-visit-to-state-department/
- Father God, we pray for the removal of State Department officials, gate-keepers, and decision-makers who are compromised in their allegiance to the United States.
- Like their ancestors they were disloyal and faithless, as unreliable as a faulty bow. (Psalm 78:57)
9. How Qatar funds Muslim Brotherhood expansion in Europe - Gulf News
Ninety percent of Qatari funds to the EU were channeled to Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated projects, two French authors have confirmed, supporting claims made since the summer of 2017 by Saudi Arabia and the UAE. One of the authors-prominent investigative journalist George Malbrunot-spoke to Gulf News about his new book Qatar Papers: How the State Finances Islam in France and Europe.
"The evidence we published was based on bank transfers, cheques, and official letters. It is evidence that they simply cannot contest." A total of 140 projects spread in Europe-mainly mosques and Islamic centers-were directly funded by Qatar over the past eight years. Much of the funding came from Qatar Charity, an NGO that was set up in 1992 originally to help orphans from the Afghan War, then expanded horizontally and vertically across the globe, with the lion's share of its activities focused on Europe. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt severed ties with the country on June 5, accusing it of backing the Muslim Brotherhood and promoting extremist ideology.(Read more)
- Father, we are grateful for the work of investigative reporters who help us know how these Muslim Brotherhood networks are established and funded. We pray these efforts by Qatar to influence and undermine the governments of Europe will be cut off.
- For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land. (Psalm 37:9)
10. The Global Revolt against Climate Policies Continues As Conservatives Sweep Aussie Elections - Daily Caller
The Labor Party made tackling climate change the centerpiece of its effort to retake Australia's legislature from the conservative Liberal-National Coalition, which opposes climate taxes and supports coal power. The election results present a warning to U.S. Democrats pushing costly global warming policies at the national level.
Exit polling projected a Labor win, according to BBC. Labor saw climate change as a winning ticket after record summer heat, alarming Great Barrier Reef headlines and intense storms battered Australia in the last year.
At the end of the day, however, a surge of support from working-class voters kept conservatives in power. The Liberal-National Coalition is expected to win 77 seats with Labor trailing with 68 seats - only 76 seats are needed for a majority. Aussie conservatives were able to successfully argue the costs of Labor's climate agenda outweighed any benefits. (Read more)
- Father God, You have given Australia more time to repent and turn to You, wholeheartedly, as a nation. We pray they will not miss this opportunity and will experience the fires of revival throughout their land.
- Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. (Song of Solomon 8:6)

New communist revolution hits mainstream USA
Gallup is reporting that some 43% of Americans now see socialism as a good thing for America. This compares with 25% in 1942. Gallup says "a majority of Democrats have said they view socialism positively in Gallup polling since 2010, including 57% in the most recent measure in 2018." The Gallup survey, taken in April, also found that nearly 30% of Americans want government distribution of wealth, 35% want government responsibility for wages, and 33% want government control over the economy. Interesting that these percentages coincide with the percentage of the population who are also registered Democrats, although the Gallup survey did not distinguish party affiliation. But wait, there is more.
The Democratic Party platform has promoted a progressive income tax, extremely high inheritance taxes, expanded government property ownership, a centrally managed economy and credit system (aka Federal Reserve), expanded federal control over towns, counties and states, minimum wages, and is increasingly moving toward endorsing free education and a mandatory minimum income. At the same time, Democratic members of the House of Representatives have passed the Equality Act that elevates homosexuality and transgender sexual orientations above religious rights, even to the point that girls would have to share showers and bathroom facilities with men, and churches would be forced to support the LGBTQ agenda or face prosecution. Now let's compare all this to the Communist Manifesto.
The goal of Soviet Russia was to infiltrate American values with the destructive social goals of the Communist Manifesto. Former Soviet KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov, who defected from the Soviet Union in 1970, was interviewed in 1984 about Soviet infiltration methods. He said that by 1970 the Soviet Union already had infiltrated the US through brainwashing left-leaning people in the news media, entertainment, politics, business, education, and religion. Progressives are the new communists. Government is in. God is out. Exodus 20:3 says, "Thou shalt have no other god's before me." When government replaces God, bad things happen. We need to sound the warning bells from the church tops, a new revolution is here.
Have a blessed and powerful day,

2019 European Parliament election: May 23 - 26
Prayer Needed Now!
Introduction: from Wikipedia
The next election to the European Parliament is expected to be held between 23 and 26 May 2019 and will be the ninth parliamentary election since the first direct elections in 1979. A total of 751 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) currently represent more than 512 million people from 28 member states.
Why Is This Important?
Just as in the United States, and now in Australia, the war is on to see which parties will gain power in all the 28 member states of the EU: the progressive left-wing (i.e., Communist or socialist), or the right-wing candidates who seek to preserve the heritage and the destiny of their various nations.
President Trump, unlike most other presidents in the past, has promised to bring change not only in America -- aligning our nation with conservative principles and policies -- but he is also doing this at the global level. Hence, our President needs to see others in leadership with whom he can be allied in the attempt to reset all nations according to the solid principles of conservatism. In other words, our President needs allies!
What do WE do?
Below, please find an article, published last summer by the Independent UK, that reports a plan that Steve Bannon has been working on, to help these European nations vote in men and women to serve at the EU who hold conservative values.
We recommend you study this material carefully; then refer to the pictures of many who are running in eight nations in Europe, and who, if they win, will indeed align themselves with the policies that President Trump has established to "make America great again." Together, they have created a coalition, called The Movement, which will be on the ballot in their various nations at the EU this weekend. > > > To read this article, go here.
What is our Prayer Strategy?
Because we serve an omniscient God, who knows all the details of each nation, we simply pray in the Spirit, releasing the burden and the outcome of each of these elections to Him. Praise the Lord!
Our prayer
Father God, we thank You that it is You who rules the nations. We place the upcoming elections at the EU in Brussels, Belgium, this weekend before Your Throne of Grace, and we ask that You move each voter to vote according to Your will, that Your kingdom will come, in Your name, amen.
Our Decree
"For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations."
(Psalm 22:28)

Family Research Council Debunks Arguments for California bill to Mandate Abortion Pills in College Health Centers
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Last night, the California Senate passed Senate Bill 24, which would require the state's 34 public universities to dispense the abortion pill from their student health centers. Patrina Mosley, Family Research Council's Director of Life, Culture, and Women's Advocacy, debunked the arguments for this bill in her latest publication, "California's Campus Abortion Mandate is Bad Model Legislation."
The publication summarizes:
"This mandate shows a reckless disregard for the safety and health of young women and moreover creates considerable liability for the universities and all those involved, such as:
- College dorm rooms are unsafe environments to have an abortion.
- University student health centers (SHCs) are not equipped to handle adverse outcomes of on-campus abortions that may occur.
- The bill's funding mechanism is purposefully vague.
- No conscience exemptions are offered for college health center staff who may object to dispensing the abortion pill."
Family Research Council Director of Life, Culture, and Women's Advocacy Patrina Mosley added the following comments:
"The state of California is vying to be the first state in the nation that would force institutions of education to become abortion facilities--with no safeguards for protecting taxpayer dollars.
"Chemical abortions are traumatic multi-day processes that come with a risk of serious adverse effect. No dormitory community is prepared to handle the liabilities such a mandate creates. The physical and psychological health of women is at considerable risk, and no state should consider it for model legislation," concluded Mosley.

About the Hymn:
The song was written while I was conducting a meeting at East Palestine, Ohio, in the home of George Sebring (founder of the Sebring Campmeeting Bible Conference in Sebring, Ohio, and later developer of the town of Sebring, Florida). For some time, I had struggled between developing my talents in the field of art and going into full-time evangelistic work.
At last the pivotal hour of my life came, and I surrendered all. A new day was ushered into my life. I became an evangelist and discovered down deep in my soul a talent hitherto unknown to me. God had hidden a song in my heart, and touching a tender chord, He caused me to sing.

On Jupiter: Is the Great Red Spot Unraveling?
May 20, 2019: Around the world, amateur astronomers are monitoring a strange phenomenon on the verge of Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS). The giant storm appears to be unraveling. "I haven't seen this before in my 17-or-so years of imaging Jupiter," reports veteran observer Anthony Wesley of Australia, who photographed a streamer of gas detaching itself from the GRS on May 19th.
The plume of gas is enormous, stretching more than 10,000 km from the central storm to a nearby jet stream that appears to be carrying it away. Wesley says that such a streamer is peeling off every week or so.
The Great Red Spot is the biggest storm in the solar system-an anticyclone wider than Earth with winds blowing 350 mph. Astronomers have been observing it for hundreds of years. In recent decades, the Great Red Spot has been shrinking. Once it was wide enough to swallow three Earths; now only one of our planet could fit inside the maelstrom. This has led some researchers to wonder if the GRS could break up or disappear within our lifetimes. Perhaps the streamers are part of this process.
. . . The leader of those observations, Glenn Orton of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, noted "a curious hook-like cloud feature on the Great Red Spot's western side. Events like this show that there's still much to learn about Jupiter's atmosphere," he said in a press release.
Wesley describes how the streamers are behaving now: "Each streamer appears to disconnect from the Great Red Spot and dissipate. Then, after about a week, a new streamer forms and the process repeats. You have to be lucky to catch it happening. Jupiter spins on its axis every 10 hours and the GRS is not always visible. A joint effort between many amateurs is underway to get clear images of the process."
Indeed, now is a great time to monitor the action. Jupiter is approaching Earth for a close encounter in June 2019. During the weeks around opposition on June 10th, Jupiter will shine 4 times brighter than Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, and even small telescopes will reveal its storms, moons, and cloud belts.
Stay tuned for more unraveling.

Also, because the scriptures indicate that "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 4:17), we are confident that fervent prayer, offered in the halls of the highest chambers of government in our land, can avail much for America. Capitol Hill Prayer Partners welcomes those who feel called to join us, engaging in this strategic work of intercession for our nation: "For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God." [Romans 13:1]
