Mar 22, 2024 – Notes Shabbat Call
03-22-24 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration”
24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
As we enter tonight’s call, we welcome the Presence of God and ask Him to help us to prepare our hearts for several observances this weekend: Palm Sunday, a National Day of Repentance, and the 6th Annual Night of Hosannas on Sunday, March 24th, and Purim, Saturday night through Sunday evening, which refers to the “lots” that the evil Haman cast to select the date of his proposed genocide of the Jewish people…the 13th day of Adar, the 12th month of the year on the Hebrew calendar. Haman’s plans were foiled by Mordecai and Esther, Mordacai’s cousin and adopted daughter, who became queen of Persia when chosen to marry King Ahasuerus / Xerxes. Purim celebrates the day of “deliverance” with feasting and rejoicing among Jews. Around the world, the Book of Esther (Megillat Esther, in Hebrew) is read aloud. People cheer or boo when the heroes or villains are named and some wear costumes and masks to emulate the way Esther “masked” her Judaism from the King).
We will pray into this more after we pray to receive the Ephesians 6 armor of God, as we engage in the BATTLE OF THE BRIDE…A WARFARE OF LOVE on behalf of our beloved nation!
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”
Ephesians 6:10-18
We prayed corporately, receiving God’s armor and asking that we wear it with the dignity it deserves!
~~~
Prayer requests:
For Jewish people worldwide, that they would come to know Yeshua, their Messiah.
Danielle (SC) Draw them to salvation (Jesus) and let them receive Him and the Kingdom!
For the end of the war in Israel, the complete defeat of Hamas and VICTORY for the Jews, so they will no longer be threatened with annihilation…“from the river to the sea.”
Kim (NY) as Your representatives, we petition You for an end to this war. We stand and partner with our
brothers and sisters in Israel and ask for peace! Let their enemies turn and receive truth and embrace
Israel.
For our own nation, which the forces of evil are plotting against! Deliver us from the evil that besets us and save You people! AMEN!
Sherrill (TX) thanked God for the example of Moses, who told God if the people of Israel were
destroyed, it would not bring honor to Him. Save us, Lord, that You may be glorified, honored, and
respected by the nations of the world.
~~~
Following Sherrill’s prayer, we read the first two chapters of 1 John
1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—
2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us—
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.
5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
1 John 2
1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
3 Now by this we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments.
4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this, we know that we are in Him.
6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
Ps Ioan then took us through these verses and explained them:
John spoke these words from his personal experience with Jesus. He welcomes all people to hear the truth and enter into fellowship with Jesus and the Father. John declares: “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.”
As we become believers, there is a price to be able to walk in the light: we may NOT walk in darkness. “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” What is the answer? “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” We, who are his and who walk in the light, need that continual cleansing to keep our relationship with the Father and Son. We must repent and turn back to God! Whatever is “not of God” in our lives has to go, and as we confess it as sin and repent, it is removed! “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Regarding “unbelievers,” they are also invited to be cleansed and enter into that relationship. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth (Jesus) is not in us.”
The great end-time revival will begin when people search their hearts and convicted, turn to the Lord, repenting.
In 1 John 2, John writes to believers! “My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin.” If we should sin, we have Jesus as our Advocate!
As we enter into Palm Sunday and journey through Passion Week, let the Holy Spirit show us where we have sinned. Then agree with Him, repent of it, and allow the Blood of Jesus to cleanse us.
We prayed corporately into this, reflecting on the depth of God’s love and mercy! HalleluYah!
To the Cross I Cling
No day of my life has passed that has not proved me guilty in Your sight.
The best I have to offer are these filthy rags and yet, You love me.
All things in me call for my rejection. All things in You plead my acceptance.
I am guilty but pardoned, by grace I’ve been set free.
I am ransomed through the Blood You shed for me.
I was dead in my transgressions, but life You brought to me. I am reconciled through mercy.
To the Cross I cling! To the Cross I cling.
No more am I a slave to sin but bought with a price,
Redemption that was purchased through the blessed cross that You bore for me, You bore for me!
I am guilty but pardoned, by grace I’ve been set free.
I am ransomed through the Blood You shed for me.
I was dead in my transgressions, but life You brought to me. I am reconciled through mercy.
To the Cross I cling! To the Cross I cling.
All things in me call for my rejection. All things in You plead my acceptance.
I am guilty but pardoned, by grace I’ve been set free.
I am ransomed through the Blood You shed for me.
I was dead in my transgressions, but life You brought to me. I am reconciled through mercy.
To the Cross I cling! To the Cross I cling! To the Cross I cling!
Maureen said this would be a very special Passion Week…and encouraged us to enter in fully, not hold back!
Tesi (FL) This is a time when You are showing us what we need to do to walk like Jesus and be like Him and love like Him! She also prayed that God shows us what we don’t even see as sin!
Sharon Thank You, Lord, for what you are doing through the message in this time of prayer, now. Help me in my thoughts, Lord, and for wellness that is coming!
Bev (MT) Asked to be washed whiter than snow! Psalm 51:7 “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
Carol (TX) repented and read Psalm 51:7-13 “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You.”
Bobby (WI) sang those verses.
John (NJ) this is the perfect word for the perfect time…and takes our eyes off everything else to see where we’ve missed the mark. I’ve been feeling so detached, distracted, and lost lately, and I thank You for the cleaning, the Blood, and Your sacrifice.
Brad (DC) God is calling me to the secret place, and I’m sad that I haven’t because of business…this is my first day.
Bobby (WI) sang “Commune with Me” and prayed that, though we might be overwhelmed at times, to remember that You have delivered us and come to live within us, and continually cleanse us! You died for us! We rejoice in that.
Ps Ioan said that John spoke the words earlier…THAT OUR JOY MIGHT BE COMPLETE!
Kim (NY) had a chance to teach in a hospital recently and was able to quietly rejoice in the Lord, even when attacked by someone there. All she could do was to stand and rejoice in the Lord working as she saw their love for Jesus!
Carol (TX) in a Bible study on abiding and covering 1,2 and 3 John. “Abide, abide, abide!”

President Trump has until Monday to secure a $454M bond for his appeal re: the civil fraud case against him in NY…or risk losing his property! It’s been reported that NY AG Letitia James would likely go after his bank accounts first!
Statements from President Trump re: the NY case:
“Insane radical Democrat AG Letitia James wants to SEIZE my properties in New York. THIS INCLUDES THE ICONIC TRUMP TOWER! Democrats think that this will intimidate me. They think that if they take my cash to stifle my campaign, that I’ll GIVE UP! Here’s one thing they don’t know…WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER!”
“THROUGH HARD WORK, TALENT, AND LUCK, I CURRENTLY HAVE ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH, A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WHICH I INTENDED TO USE IN MY CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT. THE OFTEN OVERTURNED POLITICAL HACK JUDGE ON THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT A.G. CASE, WHERE I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG, KNEW THIS, WANTED TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME, AND THAT’S WHERE AND WHY HE CAME UP WITH THE SHOCKING NUMBER WHICH, COUPLED WITH HIS CRAZY INTEREST DEMAND, IS APPROXIMATELY $454,000,000. I DID NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT WIN AN ELECTION IN 2016 THAT I WASN’T EXPECTED TO WIN, DID EVEN BETTER IN 2020, AND NOW LEAD, BY A LOT, IN 2024. THIS IS COMMUNISM IN AMERICA!”
“THE NEW YORK A.G. USED A STATUTE TO GO AFTER ME THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED BEFORE, NOT ONCE, FOR SUCH A PURPOSE. IT, IN AND OF ITSELF, IS SOOO UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND UNFAIR. UNDER THIS STATUTE, I GET NO JURY AND HAVE NO RIGHTS. All DECISIONS AND RIGHTS ARE GIVEN TO, IN THIS CASE, A CORRUPT, TRUMP HATING JUDGE, WHO CAME UP WITH A CRAZY, OUT OF THIN AIR AWARD, IN ORDER TO DAMAGE ME POLITICALLY, AND NOT ALLOW ME TO USE ANY OF THE LARGE AMOUNT OF CASH I HAVE BUILT UP OVER THE YEARS, THROUGH HARD WORK, INSIGHT, INSTINCT, AND DILIGENCE, ON MY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT. THAT IS JUST WHAT CROOKED JOE BIDEN WANTED THIS POLITICAL HACK, COUPLED WITH A CORRUPT AND RACIST ATTORNEY GENERAL, TO DO. I DID NOTHING WRONG! THIS IS SIMPLY A “TAKING.” MUCH LIKE WHAT IS DONE IN COMMUNIST COUNTRIES, AND WILL LEAVE AN IRREPARABLE STAIN ON NEW YORK STATE AND ITS JUDICIAL SYSTEM. IT IS TOTALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL, INCLUDING THE HARSH GAG ORDER IMPOSED. THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS WAS ALREADY RULED ON, FOR ME!
Statement on the BLOODBATH HOAX:
“At a rally on Saturday, I predicted a bloodbath for American auto manufacturing if Crooked Joe Biden were to win in November. You already know what happened next. The FAKE NEWS used edited clips to viciously misquote me. The LIARS in the Democrat Party said people like YOU were a threat to our country. And just now, Joe Biden released a new ad pushing the HOAX! These people truly hate our country!!! Their only hope in KEEPING CONTROL over our country is LIES LIES LIES! They’re SICK!”
We prayed corporately for our dear President and then offered individual prayers:
Terri (FL) this man has submitted himself to You on behalf of this country and our people. All those who come against him will come to nothing. The Blood of Jesus covers him and his family and his property! You are a MIGHTY MAN OF WAR, and You are standing by him defending him and this nation! We ask for the USA! Anyone who fights against him fights against YOU! Thank You for the VICTORY!
Mary Ellen (IL) there are no coincidences in You, and the word came out today that TRUTH SOCIAL is going public and President Trump might be getting a fortune for it (projected at $3.5 B). We trust and expect that You are arranging things in the background…and You will get the glory!
Ydia (FL) You parted the sea for Your chosen people! Do something so extraordinary that all will see it
and be convinced that he is Your man for such a time as this!
Debbie (TX) we ask You to judge the “gods” (evil spirits) behind these wicked actions of his enemies.
You said those who do such things will fall into their own pits…we reap what we sow. You are always victorious and we thank You for showing the degree of desperation of the globalists in our nation.
Carol (TX) declared Isaiah 42:1-4 and Proverbs 14;19 she prayed that AG James and Judge Ergoran both be removed.
Angela (CA) prayed Hebrews 13:5 “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” She prayed for the Blood of Jesus to cover all that belongs to President Trump, so nothing can be taken… including the Presidency! The Lord is cutting off the hands of the enemy!
~~~
We paused before 9 PM, as we do nightly, to pray for the J6ers.
We prayed corporately according to Hebrews 13:3
“Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them;
and them in adversity as being yourselves also in the body.”
We lifted up all who were accused, tried, and imprisoned unjustly…
and for those with pending cases, such as President Trump.
We were then led by Maureen in singing the National Anthem
united with the J6ers, as we joined them from states across our nation!
Having prayed on-site for them in DC, we continue to stand with them and their families,
praying that they would be set free, return to their lives and loved ones,
and be compensated for the injustice they have suffered!
Let them be comforted and at peace in their cells tonight, knowing that God is near!
~~~
We blessed David Clements as he is speaking in Roswell, GA tonight on LET MY PEOPLE GO!
We prayed for David and for millions to see and hear the message communicated in this film!
Ps Ioan put it on his media channel and many have watched there, Maureen put it on her FB and other places and said that many are responding and sharing it with friends. View this link, spread it, and do your part!
*** Report from Anita (GA) — on-site tonight:
I’m sitting in the theater…fairly full! I gave David a big hug from you….He drove the car today and offered comments of how much he appreciates it….He told me to tell the 24/7 NSPC how much he appreciates the prayer…He is praying about March 30th (the date when Abraham Lincoln called the nation to repentance) to be the day when Trump (or others) would call our nation to repentance. The FULTON COUNTY GOP is the one sponsoring this!! How amazing is that? … (It’s where AG Fani Willis resides.)
(Maureen replied: “Give him a big hug from me!”).
My heart is so full…❤️❤️ David was able to interact with the audience. He fielded questions and gave advice on how to work together to fight this fight. He seemed to be talking to Fulton County residents…. Their fight is very heavy. They gathered around him. I audio-recorded some of his input for our Forsyth County.
He carries a SHOEBOX with him (with a slit on the top) for cash donations. It is my husband’s belief this is the best way for him to live (by faith)…Due to IRS and other malfeasance after him.
In his public prayer at the end, he added a prayer for Pastor Ioan Peia and his mission —due to a life of understanding communism and its consequences —that victory would be around the corner (I’m interpreting the prayer )
BTW— I didn’t even have to say your last name before he reacted with a big smile…..and I think…that was the only hug he got last night (at least that I saw) 😂❤️.
~~~
On a lighter note, Barron Trump, (6’7” tall) turned 18 this week. We prayed for his protection, as he is now being targeted as “fair game” by his father’s enemies. (“Fair game”: an expression that means someone or something that is acceptable to criticize or attack. Ps Ioan prayed a father’s blessing upon him!
~~~
Yesterday at the War Room, Liz Harrington requested prayer for Dr. Peter Navarro, who is in prison. Politico, in its glee, tells us what it’s really all about. “He’s the first member of Trump’s White House to face imminent jail time over events stemming from the 2020 vote.” The 2020 Election was stolen from the American People, and it took less than 4 years for the Biden regime to jail those who spoke the truth and tried to do something about it. Will he be the last? Unlikely. The answer is simple: If your elections start to look like a third world country, don’t be surprised if your country starts to look like one. And many more have already been arrested, in states pivotal to the steal. Should we count on scandal to save us? Not in a land that has no shame. Besides, there are countless other Fani Willis’s waiting in the wings to prosecute the political enemies at the behest of the evil ruling class, who are just as corrupt, if not quite as debaucherous.
The real scandal is that these charges are being brought in the first place. They indicted the most popular incumbent president in history for asking Americans to tune into a public state legislature hearing, which happened to be covering the most corrupt election in Georgia history. “Contempt of Congress”? The feeling is mutual. And if it is a crime, then they will have to indict well over 100 million of us.
Politico claims Navarro’s crime was refusing to provide “testimony or documents” to “congressional investigators probing Trump’s bid to subvert the 2020 election,” citing “Congress’ need for Navarro’s information.” (They could have read the Navarro Report.) But they were never interested in the mountains of evidence the election was stolen. Their entire purpose was to cover it up. One cannot subvert something that has already been subverted. The so-called “congressional investigators,” (the UnSelect Committee,) was a group of hacks and thugs who have spent their lives subverting America and our God-given rights, slowly and surely corrupting and perverting our constitutional system meant to uphold the rule of law and keep us free.
We are far removed from the America of old. A nation founded upon heroes, pledging “their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor,” is now led by villains with no honor, who steal the fortunes of others, so they can continue to sacrifice the lives of the innocent. Thankfully, our appeal in this battle does not rely on the mercy of Chief Justice John Roberts. Our appeal is to One, the only One, Who shakes the foundations of prisons. The One who heals the brokenhearted proclaims liberty to the captives, recovers sight to the blind, and sets at liberty those who are oppressed. Let’s call on Him today for Peter Navarro.
We prayed for Peter, and asked for JUSTICE for him and all those persecuted and prosecuted unjustly!

Today the House passed yet another sprawling, $1.2 Trillion government funding bill, which includes funding for abortion facilities, as well as LGBTQ activist centers that carry out transgender injections, target minors, hold drag shows, and help illegal immigrants who identify as gay or transgender gain U.S. citizenship — a bill one congressman calls “a total, total abomination.” The “Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024” funds the Departments of Defense, Education, Health and Human Services (HHS), Homeland Security (DHS), Labor, and State until the end of the fiscal year, September 30. Congressional leadership released the text of the 1,012-page bill at 2:30 AM Thursday, giving members of Congress just hours to read before they voted to head off an impending government shutdown at midnight Saturday. The bill contained the following earmarks:
$400,000 requested by Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) for Briarpatch Youth Services in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. The group promises to hide minors’ struggle with gender dysphoria from their parents while indoctrinating teens in extreme gender ideology. It’s “Queer 101 Training” promises to teach “an intersectional understanding of queer oppression” and aims “to demonstrate how limiting the ‘male’ and ‘female’ binary is.” The organization offers “individual counseling services” for children “ages 12-17,” in which a “counselor can work with children on exploring identity, resiliency, and creating a Gender Support Plan for school support and advocacy.” The group’s website says, “Youth do NOT need parent/guardian permission to join Teens Like Us. We understand not all youth are at a point in their lives where they can safely and confidently ‘come out.’” The group’s “Queer 101 Training” aims “to demonstrate how limiting the ‘male’ and ‘female’ binary is.”
$400,000 requested by Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) for the Mazzoni Center in Philadelphia, which carries out transgender hormone shots, clears the way for transgender surgeries, advertises transgender services for minors, and holds drag show fundraisers. Mazzoni carries out cross-sex hormone injections and provides medical letters for transgender surgeries. The center begins targeting teens with its Pediatric and Adolescent Comprehensive Transgender Services (PACTS). Its “Youth Drop In,” which is held each Wednesday night, is aimed at teens “ages 14 to 24” and notes, “Patients under 18 can receive confidential care regarding sexual and mental health without parental permission.” The Mazzoni Center both contributes to and profits from the LGBT movement. Mazzoni invited donors to mingle with “a wide range of acts that include drag queens, drag kings, trans-identifying, burlesque, and burlesque performers” at its December 3 Code Red fundraiser. “In December, fundraising for Mazzoni Center truly was a drag,” the center cracked. “Drag entertainer Cherry Pop and her fabulous friends united for the 10th annual Code Red fundraiser, a drag/variety show,” which it described as a “powerful night” for a “vital cause.”
$1,808,000 requested by Sens Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed (both D-RI) for Women and Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, which carries out first-and second-term abortions at its Family Planning Clinic. “If you need to discuss abortion care for pregnancy, please feel free to contact the Family Planning Clinic,” states its website. Its “services” include “surgical abortion under general anesthesia in the operating room for people up to 22 weeks pregnant” and “medication abortion (the ‘abortion pill’) for people up to ten weeks pregnant.” The facility will also implant a potential abortifacient inside women after the abortion, advertising a “post-abortion IUD or contraceptive implant.”
$650,000 requested by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) for Dartmouth Hitchcock Nashua in New Hampshire. “We routinely provide both medication and procedural abortion care up to 22 weeks of pregnancy,” the group declares. The facility describes surgical abortion as a procedure “ending a pregnancy by having the pregnancy removed by doctors.”
$780,000 requested by Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM) for Amador Health Services in Las Cruces, New Mexico, which boasts that it “can provide transgender/gender non-conforming (GNC) health education, therapeutic counseling and referrals, and additional LGBTQ+ support that puts your safety and comfort first. If you’ve felt rejected by family and loved ones, isolated from your community, or are just in need of an ear to listen, we’re here.” It also decries the “social stigma” surrounding “undocumented immigration” (illegal immigration). “We’re working every day to eliminate that stigma and make all feel like they belong.”
$146,000 requested by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) for Apicha Community Health Center, for facilities and equipment. Apicha’s two locations in Manhattan and Queens advertise “transgender and gender-affirming services” — specifically “initiation and maintenance of hormone replacement therapy,” “letters of support for gender-affirming surgeries” and “help with name change process.” They also distribute potential abortifacients Plan B and IUDs.
$706,000 requested by Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) for Entre Hermanos, an LGBT group that helps put illegal immigrants on a path to U.S. citizenship. It offers legal counseling and “free immigration clinics” to illegal immigrants who identify as LGBTQ to obtain U.S. citizenship and hosts workshops on “the many identities” under the transgender “umbrella” and strategies to minimize “transphobia.” The group’s website currently advertises the upcoming “Drag Brunch” on April 28.
$850,000 requested by Rep. Ayanna Pressley and Sens Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey (D-MA) for LGBTQ Senior Housing, Inc. (“The Pryde”), in Massachusetts, a controversial funding provision that House Republicans stripped out of a Transportation funding bill last year.
Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL), chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, also listed the following concerning earmarks:
“Sen. Bennet (D-CO), $845,000 – Envision: You, CO (SAMHSA) – LGBTQ advocacy.”
“Sen. Shatz (D-HI), $550,000 – Hawaii Health and Harm Reduction Center, HI (SAMHSA) – LGBTQ services and syringe exchange.”
“Sen. Schumer (D-NY), $1,000,000 — SAGE, NY (ACL) – LGBTQ advocacy.”
The “earmarks in it for abortion facilities” make the bill a “total, total abomination,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) told Steve Bannon’s “War Room” Thursday. “We continue to fund abortion tourism, we continue to fund transgender surgeries at the Department of Defense,” Roy continued. “It busts the [spending] caps …funds the FBI headquarters, doesn’t secure the border, funds the World Health Organization.”
Even these dedicated funding streams do not cover the full extent of the bill’s harmful funding, say its critics.
“I have multiple concerns, among them are the many new social services that this bill would create for the millions of illegal immigrants streaming across our border. Additionally, it would fund facilities providing routine abortion services, including late-term abortions,” said Aderholt.
Experts say the short time frame that legislators have to review such massive legislation makes it more likely wasteful or immoral spending will find congressional approval. “Lawmakers are using arbitrary deadlines and shutdown politics to extort the American people and force lawmakers to vote for a bill they don’t have time to read,” said Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation. “Conservatives were told that the days of omnibus spending bills shrouded in secrecy were over. But this process and the bill it produced are indistinguishable from typical Swamp behavior that’s taken our economy and country to the brink of disaster.”
Principled lawmakers seem to agree. “This is not the bill that my subcommittee produced and supported,” the chairman added. “The Senate has taken liberties with their Congressionally Directed Spending requests that would never stand in the House.”
“Under no circumstances should [House Republicans] vote for this bill,” said Roy. “A vote for this bill is a vote against America.”
“In good conscience, I cannot and will not vote for these projects or this bill,” Aderholt concluded.
The bill passed the House today (Friday.)
Resource: Ben Johnson/ The Washington Stand
As we heard, the bill passed 286 to 134. A majority of Republicans were present and voting opted against the measure. Our hearts are broken by those Republicans who voted for this and against righteousness…for abortion, transgender, and a myriad of other evils! The GOP may have another new round of House elections in the near future. A short time ago, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to vacate the chair and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker thanks to his actions over the House Omnibus bill, which will fund the government until September 30. The legislation passed by a 286-134 vote, achieving the necessary 2/3 vote to avoid a government shutdown. (Democrats bailed out Johnson after over 100 members of his caucus rebelled.)

Maureen remembered us praying into James O’Keefe’s words:
“What is your price? 1 M? 10 M? 100 Million?”
“It is YOUR LIFE!” If your price is not your life, you’re for sale!
At what price has our nation been sold out?
We prayed for those representing us and asked for forgiveness for turning against You, Lord…for as we prayed from 1 John 1 earlier,
5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
We shared in communion, and Maureen asked that we lift up Vince (80), (a lifelong friend of Maureen’s husband, Carmine), who has stage 4 liver cancer. He began treatment today and his family called and requested prayer.
We shared in communion, and then closed the SHABBAT CALL singing “SHABBAT SHALOM!”
With our love and blessings.
Maureen and Pastor Ioan
