U.S. ‘Must Oppose’ Islamic ‘Anti-Defamation’ Demands Proponents ‘Will Continue To Push’ Agenda At U.N. In Coming Years

By Bob Unruh
 
A Heritage Foundation expert warns that the U.S. will need to maintain active opposition to plans for “religious anti-defamation” laws both within its borders and on an international scale, or face consequences.

In a report published on the foundation’s website,  Steven Groves said the U.S. “must remain wary of continuing efforts by U.N. member states to gain wider acceptance of the ‘defamation of religions’ concept.”

Proponents “will continue to push the ‘defamation of religions’ agenda at the U.N. Human Rights Council, the U.N. General Assembly, and at other international forums such as the April 2009 Durban Review Conference,” he warned.

Groves is the Heritage Foundation’s Bernard and Barbara Lomas Fellow in the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, a division of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for International Studies.

He also said within its own borders, the U.S. should refuse to recognize “a new legal cause of action that bans insults or criticism of religion,” because it would provide no benefit whatsoever. (more…)

Breaking Christian News

The latest attempt by the country’s largest atheist group, the Freedom from Religion Foundation, to banish reliance on God in America, is coming in the form of a lawsuit against President George W. Bush, among others, for their propagation of the National Day of Prayer.  The intercessory day developed from America’s first official call to prayer in 1775 by the Continental Congress which included such members as: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin.

Prophecy For Sarah Palin

By Steve Strang

Sarah PalinIf you’re like me, you’ll be glued to the television tonight to watch the first vice- presidential debate, which is being held at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. The 90-minute debate between Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Joe Biden will begin at 9 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on all major television networks.

I’ve publicly endorsed Sen. John McCain and Sarah Palin, so you know for whom I will be rooting. I’ve reported in the Strang Report how unfair the media has been to Gov. Palin, even ridiculing her Pentecostal background. Now we’ve learned that tonight’s moderator, Gwen Ifill of PBS, has written a pro-Obama book. So much for objectivity.

This is a call to pray for Sarah Palin. Read the incredible prophecy quoted below that is going around the Internet. At the end I tell about attending a huge Palin rally in Florida 10 days ago. Below, read about an important new book we just published by Perry Stone. (more…)

James Dobson1) As Bible-believing God-fearing Christians, we must keep praying that the Lord Jesus will increasingly open our spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear His Prophetic Word of Truth, what His Holy Spirit is saying to His Church in these perilous last days when even the very elect are being deceived left, right, and center!

Praying For John McCain And Sarah Palin To Become President And Vice-President / Prophetic Insight Regarding US Election By Lou Engle Of The Call

Dear Friends and Family in Christ,

Sarah PalinAs Bible-believing God-fearing Christians, we must unite in praying to our righteous Father in Heaven, ‘Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done’ in the upcoming and very critical election on November 4th in the US.

As the Body of Christ around the world we must pray in the Holy Spirit and the Truth of the Word of God that America will not make the same mistake as Australia and vote in Obama as their next President. The Democrats in the US are the Left of politics (like the ALP & Greens) and the Republicans are the Right of politics. (like the Liberal / National Coaltion)  Obama who is representing the Democrats, with his Islamic background, leftist ideologies and support for abortion, if elected, will drive America away from its Christian heritage and destiny.

Let us pray that the US will get a Republican President (John McCain) and not a Democrat (Barack Hussein Obama). (more…)

EXCLUSIVE: Al Qaeda Targets Leading Arab Evangelist Operating In The U.S. For Preaching The Gospel To Muslims

By Joel C. Rosenberg

 (Washington, D.C.) You have probably never heard of Father Zakaria Botros.

But you need to know his story. He is far and away the most-watched and most-effective Arab-American evangelist focused on reaching the Muslim world, and by far the most controversial. The Rush Limbaugh of the Revivalists, he is funny, feisty, brilliant, opinionated, and provocative. But rather than preaching the gospel of conservatism, he is preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. And his enemies do not simply want to silence him. They want to assassinate him.

Last week, I had the honor of interviewing Botros by phone from a secure, undisclosed location in the United States, where he now resides. He told me that he had just learned that an al Qaeda website had posted his photograph and named him one of the “most wanted” infidels in the world. The Radicals have even put a bounty on his head. The Christian Broadcasting Network reported the figure was as high as $60 million. Botros does not know for certain. But just to put that in context, the U.S. bounty on Osama bin Laden’s head is “only” $25 million. (more…)

Messianic Revival In Israel?

In Israel, a resurgence in the number of Jews who believe in Jesus is getting a lot of attention.Many leaders say it’s the strongest growth since the time of Jesus andthat the Messianic movement could be on the brink of a great revival.

‘This is the first time where we’ve seen Israeli society in generalbeing so open to consider who Yeshua is,’ said Messianic leader AsherIntrater. ‘This is a real miracle, and there’s beginning to be graceand favor with us in the land.’

Although Jesus and the early disciples were Jewish, for nearly 2,000 the gospel has been viewed as a religion mainly for Gentiles. Even thename Jesus or Yeshua has been a forbidden word among many Jews. But inthe last few years, Messianic leaders in Israel say something importantis happening. (more…)

MSNBC Publishes New Report On Lakeland Revival; Can’t Ignore Impact The Outpouring Is Having

By Teresa Neumann

“I say, you have nothing to lose but your sickness. If the doctors can’t help you, why wouldn’t you give God a chance?”

FOUNDING EDITOR’S NOTE: I debated whether or not to even link to this MSNBC story. It was well done, but the secular media feels, as is normal, the obligation to post both pro and con arguments toward this revival or any news story, honestly. One can’t blame that approach as they are not there to “fan the flames” for the Church . . . at least not yet. So in order for them to be considered “news,” they have to find someone on most stories who say “My take on this is that it isn’t good.” (words to that effect). So it is with mixed feelings (mostly good) that I post this story. The summary was well written by our own Teresa Neumann with Breaking Christian News. As many of you link to the story from MSNBC, I would encourage the reader to remember what Jesus’ response was when His strange healings were happening and John the Baptist was stuck in prison. “Are you the ONE?” He was asked, “or should we look for another?” Jesus’ response was simple and direct: “. . . So He replied to the messengers, ‘Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.'” Luke 7:21-22 (NIV) – Steve Shultz, BCN.
