Mueller and the seven wicked spirits
The news media and coup-makers are in a frenzy interpreting the remarks of Special Counsel Robert Mueller before the nation in closing his office and summarizing his report to Congress. Just to summarize: Mueller said the Russians tried to influence the 2016 Presidential elections, but President Trump was not part of any coordination with that effort. Mueller said that there was no decision whether the President obstructed the investigation. He said, "As set forth in our report, after that investigation, if we had confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the President did commit a crime."
Mueller justified a "no decision" because "a President cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. That is unconstitutional." Mueller gave three reasons: "First, the opinion explicitly permits the investigation of a sitting President because it is important to preserve evidence while memories are fresh and documents are available. Among other things, that evidence could be used if there were co-conspirators who could now be charged. And second, the opinion says that the Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting President of wrongdoing. And beyond Department policy, we were guided by principles of fairness. It would be unfair to potentially accuse somebody of a crime when there can be no court resolution of an actual charge."
Those are Mueller's exact words. How they are interpreted is the real story. AP, in it's news story covering the statement said, "Shortly after Mueller concluded, the president, who has repeatedly and falsely claimed that the report cleared him of obstruction of justice, tweeted a subdued yet still somewhat inaccurate reaction: "Nothing changes from the Mueller Report. There was insufficient evidence and therefore, in our Country, a person is innocent. The case is closed! Thank you." You can see that AP editorialized by using the words "repeatedly and falsely claimed" and by characterizing the President's tweet as a "somewhat inaccurate reaction." The neo-communist coup-makers are now convinced that the President is guilty.
Because Mueller did not specifically clear the President of a crime, The coup-makers say that the President committed the crime-in this case, obstruction. The President's supporters say that Mueller did not have enough evidence to even recommend further action. After all is said and done and millions of our tax money spent, Mueller left without conclusion, further fueling the flames of impeachment by the coup-makers and their lapdog media propagandists. So while Mueller swept clean his office and vacated, more demons have entered in. It's like what Christ said in Luke 11:26 about an unclean spirit who is cast out of a man returning to the house from whence he came and finding it swept clean, he reenters the house "and takes to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself." And so the coup continues.
Have a blessed and powerful day,

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#
