Trump welcomes Australia's PM, cementing strong trade, security ties
Published Friday morning, September 20th
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Australia's prime minister on Friday for only the second state visit of his administration, signalling the close bond between the two allies as Washington takes on Beijing and Tehran. . .
Days before the visit, a sign draped across the Australian Embassy in Washington proclaimed "100 years of mateship" between the two countries. On Friday, Trump feted Morrison's arrival at the White House's South Lawn with a 19-gun salute and U.S. Marine Band performances of each nation's national anthems.
"It's highly symbolic of where the relationship sits at the moment," said Patrick Buchan, a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, noting that Morrison's state visit was second only to French President Emmanuel Macron's last year.
Following an arrival ceremony, bilateral meetings, and a joint news conference, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will host a luncheon for Morrison to be followed by a state dinner at the White House. (Reuters) > > > Read more here.
(Includes a video of the magnificent Welcoming Ceremony that the President and the First Lady hosted in honor of the visit of Australia's P.M. Scott Morrison and his wife, Jennifer.
- Capitol Hill Prayer Partners were blessed and honored to have been invited to view this magnificent opening ceremony yesterday in the White House Rose Garden. Ten of us stood, alongside 8,000 other guests, witnessing the military tribute to our visiting dignitaries, and listening to President Trump as he welcomed P.M. Morrison to the White House.
We were all gathered there, knowing full well that in doing so, we were representing all of YOU, now 5,000 strong, who have joined our prayer network. Thank you, and thank you, Mr. President, for this amazing honor!

Trumps host Australian prime minister for rare state dinner in Rose Garden - Fox News
President Trump, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and guests dined on Dover sole and summer squash as U.S. military bands fill the air with music in the green- and gold-themed Rose Garden Friday night -- only the second state dinner of the Trump White House.
"The first lady and I are honored to welcome you and Jennifer to the White House, and we look forward to hosting you for a state dinner tonight in the Rose Garden," the president told Morrison during a pomp-filled military arrival ceremony Friday. "It will be quite something."
According to the first lady's office, which planned the dinner, the colors for the visit are green and gold, Australia's national colors. Unlike state dinners past, this one was held outdoors, under a crisp autumn sky.
The president and first lady Melania Trump greeted Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and his wife, Jenny, with handshakes and kisses on the Pennsylvania Avenue side of the mansion Friday evening. Meanwhile, the worlds of politics, media and even sports collided as a stream of administration members from both countries, aides, lawmakers and even golfer Greg Norman headed outside for the open-air dinner.
"I'm looking forward to celebrating tonight," said Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C.
Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani was also among the more than 170 guests. (Read more, and view this elegant setting, by going here.)
- Father God, we thank You for the most gracious way our President and First Lady have welcomed P.M. Morrison and his wife to our nation's capital this weekend. We are, indeed, blessed to have had the nation of Australia on our side as an ally over two World Wars, and through the many years since. We pray that both of our nations will continue to be graced by Your Hand to stand as beacons of light to the free world. In Your Name, amen.
- "In everything, give thanks . . ." (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

President Trump to Issue Global Call to Protect Religious Freedom at the United Nations
Monday, September 23, 2019
11:30 a.m.
President Donald J. Trump will host and provide keynote remarks at the Global Call to Protect Religious Freedom event on Monday, September 23, 2019, at the United Nations Headquarters.
The President is working to broaden international support for ongoing efforts to protect religious freedom in the wake of increasing persecution of people on the basis of their beliefs and a growing number of attacks on and destruction of houses of worship by state and non-state actors.
The President will call on the international community to take concrete steps to prevent attacks against people on the basis of their religion or beliefs and to ensure the sanctity of houses of worship and all public spaces for all faiths. (Source: The White House)
> > > A Word of Exhortation from a Key Prayer Leader, On-site at the U.N.
You might be asking, why should we pray for the 74th Opening of the General Assembly at the United Nations in New York City? Let me tell you why . . . there is no where else in the world where 198 world leaders gather at one time. It is the place where the kings of the earth make declarations from the podium in the General Assembly Hall.
These men and women understand authority and the power to wield it amongst their global peers. Everything they say has the full weight of their nations' governments behind them. And we all know there is life and death in the power of the tongue.
Proverbs 18:21 - "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit."
So you may be thinking, what does this have to do with me? If you are a believer in Christ, that means you are a son or daughter of the Most High God, a co-heir of Christ, seated with Him in heavenly places to rule and reign.
Ephesians 2:6 "and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus . . . "
We are citizens of the kingdom and we have more power and authority than any other kingdom here on earth. It is time that we exercise that authority and establish it in the earth realm in New York City and within the halls of the United Nations.
You and I may never visit all 198 nations represented as member states at the UN, but we can influence the atmosphere of our own nation and land that these world leaders are staying in for the next several weeks, so that they have life changing encounters with a Holy God, and His son Jesus Christ!
What would that look like as they return to their home nations? Revival, transformation, and reformation can happen when the leader of each nation goes back and dedicates his or her nation to the Lord Jesus. Christ!
Can I get a hallelujah?
Key prayer points for the power of agreement:
1. Call forth the brooding of the Holy Spirit to hover over the United Nations and New York City, September 22nd - Oct. 6th, 2019 ( to bring forth the birthing of Redemptive Destiny of Nations).
2. Pray for God's angelic visitations. Last week, for the first time, I saw the angel appointed to each nation standing at attention at its flag flying at the entrance of the UN, waiting for their head of state to arrive, so that as they enter into the Gates of Global Governance, God was sending in His angelic representative of the Kingdom.
3. We must pray for Israel's rightful place and right to exist amongst the global community. "I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." (Genesis 12:3)
Thank you for your partnership with all the believers at the United Nations and within New York City these next 2 weeks as we steward this opportunity given to us by God.
(Written by Jody Wood, New York City Intercessors/Global Prayer UN)
> > > Please note:
Pastor Paula White, Spiritual Advisor to President Trump, and others on his staff encourage all of us to watch and to pray as the President delivers this speech on Monday, Sept. 21st, at 11:30 a.m. EDT during a special session of the United Nations. [This speech should be carried on C-Span.]
As you do so, pray that the hearts of the leaders present will be "pierced" to see and to know the desperate need of all people on the planet to be able to worship freely, without government interference. Thank you.
"Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." (Matthew 18:19)

Alert from California

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION MADE LAW IN CALIFORNIA
In March 2019, IFA reported on our new understanding of the use of DNA and cellular remains of aborted children as an ingredient in vaccines on the market today. We also learned of active campaigns in legislatures nationwide designed to eliminate existing religious freedoms that exempt individuals who chose not to use these products based on their faith.
By June 2019, Maine and New York joined California, Mississippi and West Virginia in oppressing religious freedom. In the state of New York, 26,000 children were unable to begin school this fall unless their parents ignored their conscience, succumbed to persecution, and capitulated to the state. Just last week, California Governor Gavin Newsom enacted new legislation further restricting the use of a citizen's remaining medical exemption.
What does this mean for California?
Under the new law, SB 276, physicians extending medical exemptions for compulsory vaccinations to more than 5 patients annually must have their decisions reviewed by a state board. Although this board likely does not know the patients' medical histories or have a relationship with them, their verdict to grant or deny exemptions is final.
This is the current list of over 25 required vaccinations to attend California schools. Without exemptions, as new vaccines are rolled out and/or added to the required list - including HPV (Gardasil), Ebola and HIV/AIDS vaccines, there will be no recourse to refuse them. Citizens will either obey the law, or face persecution. (Intercessors for America) Read more here.
Pray for God's mercy in this situation. Pray that He would reveal His wisdom and make His truth, and will, known in this complicated and emotional health issue. Pray for California's government to operate in God's will as they pass then enact or veto current legislation and enforce their existing laws.
This is not to instill fear. This is to explain why this is a serious, and complex, issue, that impacts fellow believers in five states. This is to raise awareness that this issue may soon impact you and your family. Our brothers and sisters are forced to face a compulsory medical procedure using products containing biblically questionable ingredients, or face persecution for standing firm in their faith-based decisions.
We pray that these difficult conversations are held with grace and mercy. Pray with us for unity in the Body of Christ, especially as all manner of religious freedoms are being eroded. Pray with us that church leadership will seriously seek the Lord on these matters and advise their congregations. Pray with us that all conversations are held with grace and mercy, seasoned with salt and light, conducted with respect for each other and approached in peace and humility.
The time to seek the Father and ask Him for wisdom in this subject is before legislation is introduced in your state next spring. Seek His guidance on what you should do personally, and what you should do corporately.
(Prayer offered by Intercessors for America)

Of division and standing
The recent Israeli elections are a reminder of what we have in America right now-division. After all the campaigning and the accusations and the dirty conniving, Israel's Blue and White party could not gain enough seats to reach a majority. Neither could the Likud party. This leaves lesser parties, such as the Joint List of Arab parties to do what they do-sow even more division. There is no national unity, but rather partisan parties seeking their own agendas, caring little about the nation as a whole. This division is systemic. It is also prophetic. When people are divided as they are both here in America and in Israel, it spells trouble because what binds them together is no longer as important as the issues that divide them.
In Mark 3, Jesus is confronted by the scribes who believed he was Beelzebub and said that "By the ruler of the demons, he casts out demons." Jesus responded by saying in verses 23-27, "How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house." The lesson here is that division among people who are supposed to be united leads to destruction in people, kingdoms or nations, and in homes.
In 1 Kings 3, Solomon was faced with a dilemma. Two women claimed the same baby, because one's had died and she swapped the dead baby with another woman's living baby during the night. Both then claimed the living baby. In verses 24-27, Solomon solves the problem: "Then the king said, "Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword before the king. And the king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other." Then the woman whose son was living spoke to the king, for she yearned with compassion for her son; and she said, "O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!" But the other said, "Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him." So the king answered and said, "Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him; she is his mother."
In both America and in Israel, the political division is so systemic that it has turned the natural affection one should have for his neighbor and countryman into a hatred that is dividing not only the nations, but also friends and families. Given the endless visceral rhetoric bantered back and forth, natural enemies do not have to work hard to achieve their intended results. In a spiritual sense, the countries, like the baby in Solomon's example, are on a course for division, which could be lethal. The question is, who will stand before the King and say they surrender that the country might live? And in doing so, the King will save the country and entrust it to its righteous guardian. We need to stand as did the child's mother, and also petition the King of King's to not allow this evil to prevail in its division. Pray, act. Stand in the gap.
Have a blessed and powerful day,

Congress delays fight over border funding; Senate blocks passage of immigration bill
The House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution on Thursday that delays a fight over President Trump's continued requests for funding of additional border fencing. Federal spending was set to run out on September 30, but the CR passed by the House extends existing funding levels until November 21.
The Senate is expected to pass the House-passed CR next week.
Both good and bad news comes with yesterday's vote. The good news is that the CR does not restrict President Trump's ability to use unused funding from other agencies to pay for additional border security. The bad news is that the enforcement restrictions included in the FY 2019 omnibus spending bill-cuts to detention beds and restrictions placed on interior enforcement-remain in place for a few more months.
Republicans and Democrats have not been able to agree on how to fund the fund the government for the next fiscal year. Democrats obviously want to block any funding for new border security, but they also want to place restrictions on interior enforcement, block recent actions taken by the Trump administration to address the border crisis, and prevent the administration's ability to shift money around to pay for additional border security.
Republicans want to provide President Trump with border security funding, especially since this will likely be the last spending fight before the 2020 presidential elections.
By delaying the vote until November 21, Congressional leaders are hoping they can use the Thanksgiving recess as leverage to get lawmakers to agree to provisions they wouldn't otherwise agree to, so our Capitol Hill team will be following developments closely. It's also likely that Congress passes another CR in November to delay the funding fight until December or January.
Per-Country Caps Bill
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), along with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), introduced the legislation (S. 386), but a request for unanimous consent was blocked earlier this year by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). Instead of bringing S. 386 back to the floor, Sen. Lee's request yesterday was to amend a similar bill already passed by the House (H.R. 1044) that would lift per-country caps for some green card categories. The bill would allow for immigrants, mostly from India, to receive most of the employment-based green cards over the next three years. Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) objected to the unanimous consent request, listing concerns similar to Sen. Paul's.
Reports indicate that Sen. Lee is working with Sen. Perdue and may request unanimous consent again next week, however, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has also indicated that he doesn't like the bill and may block it.

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#
