Mar 24, 2023 – Notes Shabbat Call

03-24-23 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration” 

24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call

7-10 PM ET 712-770-4340 code: 543555 # 

Pastor Ioan opened the call and spoke blessings over all who were joining us on this line! May this night be one in which God is glorified through all we say and do!

Sherrill (TX) led us in receiving the armor of God, according to Ephesians 6:10-18. 

“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.”

We prayed corporately and received God’s full armor, asking that we wear it with the dignity it deserves! 

~~~

Pastor Ioan asked that we read these verses about the Feasts of the Lord:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 

‘The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.

 ‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. 

You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.”

Leviticus 23:1-3

He spoke about everything being impacted by the glory of God, and how SHABBAT is a feast of the Lord that must be kept! It is to be celebrated, and is not to be a burden! It takes place every seven days, and in it, God rejoices with us! What a joy to be together in it with Him and one another! Shabbat is a HOLY CONVOCATION!

The beginning of the day is right after sunset when we have finished the work of the day, and come together with others to celebrate His Manifest Presence in our midst! There will come a time when all people will become aware of the GLORY OF GOD! 

Around the world, the beginning of the day is considered to be 12 Midnight. That is the Greek mindset. But SHABBAT begins at sunset when the day ends on the Biblical calendar. It is then when we can enter into the SHABBAT. We prayed corporately in gratitude for being invited into His presence and to the celebration of SHABBAT!

He added: When we enter into His Presence, we are separated from the past, and from our enemies. There, in His Presence, is fullness of joy and a peace that passes understanding! As a child who is hurt and crying comes to his parents for comfort, we can enter into His Presence and come to our Father to be comforted and healed. When we have been with the Lord in this way, we can go forth in the Battle of the Bride on behalf of this nation, filled with His peace, protection and understanding. 

We offered individual prayers for what the Lord is doing now in our lives.

• Debbie (TX) thank You for wanting to spend time with us, stirring in our hearts the desire to draw close to You! The SABBAT is like a 24-hour family date with God, and we delight in God wanting to spend that time with us.
• Mary Ellen (IL) thanked the Lord for all the times that she doesn’t know what’s happening, so she listens more to Him to hear what He will say to her.
• Judy(VA) What sheer joy and delight there is in being with You! There is never a moment that we are apart! I love You, Lord! AMEN!
• Sharon (CA) thanked God and felt convicted that often my mind wanders. Help me to be focused on You, especially at this special time of SHABBAT! I surrender this to You! 
• Bev (MT) Shared words on “The love of God”…saying that “it goes beyond the highest sky and lowest hill! Oh the love of God, how rich and pure!” 
• Joan (AZ) it takes time and attention to communicate with those we love, and so too with Him. Let us seek to have that with Him as we seek His face!
• Bobby (WI) As we are praying, a four-line chorus comes to mind: “Thou art worthy, Great Jehovah. Thou art worthy, Mighty God. Thou art worthy, Abba Father, Thou art worthy, Lamb of God “
• Diane (MT) “Who have I heaven but YOU?” Thank You for loving and protecting! 

We sang:

I love You, Lord

I love You, Lord and I lift my voice to worship You, oh, my soul, rejoice! 

Take joy, my King, in what You hear, let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear!

In moments like these

In moments like these I sing out a song, I sing out a love song to Jesus.

In moments like these I lift up my hands, I lift up my hands to the Lord.

Singing, I love You, Lord! Singing, I love You, Lord! Singing, I love You, Lord, I love You.

I Have Loved You

I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have called you and you are Mine;

I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have called you and you are Mine.

Seek the face of the Lord and long for Him: He will bring you His light and His peace.

I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have called you and you are Mine;

I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have called you and you are Mine.

Seek the face of the Lord and long for Him: He will bring you His joy and his Hope.

I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have called you and you are Mine;

I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have called you and you are Mine.

Sally testified as to the Lord’s love. She just finished a Coast to Coast trip by bus, WY to NC and back through OR, including attending Mario Murillo’s Crusade in CA! The mailman found some of her mail had blown onto the ground, and in them was a letter containing a QUIT CLAIM DEED to her house…which she has been paying off over time! So now, she is a homeowner! She has a new car now, a Subaru Forester, and was blessed! Her daughter said that she noticed that Sally has been praying all these years…and it’s impacted all of them! The group burst into song: “YOU’RE A GOOD, GOOD FATHER!” She now has some relationship with 2 daughters (out of the 5). Her grandchildren are now starting to have relationship with her.

WORDS OF WISDOM from the past:

Evangelist Smith Wigglesworth passed away 75 years ago. Shortly before he passed into glory, Wigglesworth prophesied THIS: “When the new church phase is on the wane (76% of churches report decrease since 2020), there will be evidence in the churches of something that has not been seen before: a coming together of those with an emphasis on the Word and those with an emphasis on the Spirit. When the Word and the Spirit come together, there will be the biggest move of the Holy Spirit that the nations, and indeed, the world have ever seen. It will mark the beginning of a revival that will eclipse anything that has been witnessed.” IT’S HAPPENING! 

Andrew Murray, of South Africa, said:

“A true revival means nothing less than a revolution, casting out the spirit of worldliness and selfishness, and making God and His love triumph in the heart and life.”

~~~

We read Leviticus 2:1-5 about The Grain Offering

“When anyone offers a grain offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it. He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests, one of whom shall take from it his handful of fine flour and oil with all the frankincense. And the priest shall burn it as a memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. The rest of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is most holy of the offerings to the Lord made by fire. 

And if you bring as an offering a grain offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. But if your offering is a grain offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil. You shall break it in pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.”

The fine flour is made from the grain that is harvested, as it is crushed and broken down almost to a powder (a figure of our own lives)! When mixed with oil (the symbol of the Holy Spirit), it becomes an acceptable burnt offering (Romans 12:1). He is here to lead and direct us so that through Him, We can be the LIGHT Of THE world that Jesus said we are!

We prayed that our lives would be sanctified and that we can be HOLY, and pleasing to the Father! 

Andrew Murray said: “It is not as if we had to seek to have more of the Spirit: we have Him in the fulness of the gift as it is. It is rather the Holy Spirit who must have more of us. As we yield ourselves entirely to Him He will entirely fill us.”

We prayed for revival.

• Diane (MT) You give us life, freedom and joy, and we ask for Your protection for this revival. Let those who love and seek You be contagious and spread it everywhere! 
• Sharon (CA) said that she read a report that the Orthodox in NY are finding themselves more closely aligned with some Christians than other secular Jews regarding abortion

• Sally (WY) the Crusade for revival was in Bakersfield, CA with Mario Murillo – a powerful experience
• Peter (FL) Acts 2:17-18, 21 And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ 
• Kay (IL) prayed for so many of our young people in the military who have been blocked from hearing the Word of God.

Pastor Ioan said that when his grandson Andrew was in boot camp in 2022 he was not allowed to have a Bible.

• Audrey (CA) was issued a Bible when serving with the military 
• Kim (NY) when working in Japan in the Chaplain’s office in the military, she was not allowed to lead Bible studies on base, so she did it in people’s homes. 
• Judy (VA) knows the mother of Rear Admiral Cash, the head of the Chaplains; she will ask her about it!

~~~

Mary Ellen (IL) heard that US Representative Marjorie Taylor Green and 17 Representatives were going to go to the J6 prison today. We prayed corporately on their behalf and then offered individual prayers! 

• Diane (MT) let the weight of this on our Representatives and Senators be felt so that they act on their behalf
• Nancy (MN) let us all put pressure on our Congressional members to pressure McCarthy to release these videos to all …so the prisoners have evidence to use in their cases
• Mary Ellen (IL) lifted up McCarthy and Ashli Babbit’s mother who met today. Let that be the start of something that triggers compassion and the release of the prisoners. 

We paused at 9 PM, as we do nightly, to join the J6 prisoners from across the nation,

and were led by Justice Redhawk (NY) as we sang the National Anthem, in unity with them. 

Having prayed on-site for them in DC, we now sing corporately 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! 

• Mary Ellen (IL) gave a report from 2 tweets by Marjorie Taylor Green, who exercised her Constitutional authority for oversight. She spoke of a man there harassing them blowing a whistle as they visited the Gulag!

Mark Meadows and other former top aides to President Donald Trump were ordered to testify before a federal grand jury investigating Trump’s actions leading up to January 6, 2021, “happenings” at the U.S. Capitol. In ordering the testimony, federal Judge Beryl Howell rejected President Trump’s claim of executive privilege. Meadows, who served as chief of staff, and the other former aides were subpoenaed by special counsel Jack Smith for testimony related to the investigation. 

Aides include President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, his national security adviser Robert O’Brien, top aide Stephen Miller, and deputy chief of staff and social media director Dan Scavino. The judge’s sealed order also named Trump aides Nick Luna and John McEntee, along with top DHS official Ken Cuccinelli.

Trump is likely to appeal the ruling and did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Meadows did not respond to a request for comment, nor did an attorney representing him. Scavino, Ratcliffe, O’Brien, Miller, Luna, McEntee, and Cuccinelli did comment. Attorneys for President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence were in federal court Thursday to fight efforts by Smith to subpoena Pence as part of his investigation.

We prayed corporately for those who are being hauled in to testify. Let them stand strong in the Spirit of the Lord, and not be compromised! Let the truth come out and President Trump be vindicated!

From Jail, Oath Keepers Founder Responds to Guilty Verdict for January 6 Seditious Conspiracy Stewart Rhodes alleges the 3 guilty verdicts in his January 6 trial came from a ‘partisan, hopelessly biased, tainted, and prejudicial’ jury

Four months after he was found guilty of seditious conspiracy and two other charges related to the U.S. Capitol incursion on January 6, 2021, Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III decried the verdicts as “pre-ordained” results from a “guaranteed-conviction zone.” He also warned conservatives that Jan. 6 was “only the beginning of a political persecution campaign aimed at all of you.”

In his first extended comments since being found guilty on three charges and not guilty on two others, Rhodes told The Epoch Times he was prosecuted for “who I am” and “what I said,” not for any criminal actions on January 6.

Rhodes, Kelly Meggs, Kenneth Harrelson, Jessica Watkins, and Thomas Caldwell were accused by federal prosecutors of a seditious conspiracy to attack the Capitol and prevent a joint session of Congress from certifying the Electoral College votes from the 2020 presidential contest between President Donald Trump and Joseph Biden. Only Rhodes and Meggs were found guilty of seditious conspiracy in the first Oath Keepers trial that ran from September 27 – November 29, 2022.

Rhodes faces a May 25 sentencing hearing. The seditious conspiracy charge alone carries a potential 20-year prison term. He and his four co-defendants filed for acquittal or a new trial, but a ruling has not yet been made on those motions. “I did not enter the Capitol. Nor did I instruct anyone else to enter the Capitol,” Rhodes said in a 46-page reflection written from his cell at the Alexandria Detention Center in Virginia. “And yet, here I sit, because of who I am, and because of what I said—my political speech—not because of anything constituting an actual crime, not because of anything I actually did.” 

The U.S. Department of Justice relied heavily on communications between members of the Oath Keepers in encrypted chats, online meetings, text messages, and a push-to-talk radio app as evidence in prosecuting conspiracy charges against the Oath Keepers and associates. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn Rakoczy began her closing argument on November 18, 2022, by turning some of Rhodes’ words against him.“‘We are not getting through this without a civil war,’” she quoted Rhodes as saying two days after the 2020 election. “‘Prepare your mind, body and spirit.’” Rakoczy took those words to mean that Rhodes “called for war with all of its horrors and all of its violence to oppose the results of a presidential election.”

Rakoczy said a “mountain of evidence” introduced at trial “has shown that in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, these five defendants joined together and agreed to do whatever was necessary, up to and including the use of force, to stop the lawful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joseph Biden.”

In an open letter to Trump on December 14, 2020, Rhodes asked, “Will you take your place in history as the savior of our republic, right up there with President Washington and Lincoln?” Or, he asked, would Trump fail to act, “Leaving We the People to fight a desperate revolution/civil war against an illegitimate usurper and his Chicom puppet regime?”

The words of Rhodes and his co-defendants “were not the mere rantings and ravings of old men at a barbershop,” Rakoczy argued. “These defendants repeatedly called for the violent overthrow of the United States Government and they followed those words up with action.”

Three groups of Oath Keepers have been tried since September 2022 in U.S. District Court in Washington. All 15 defendants were found guilty of at least some of the charges against them in trials that ended on Novwmber 29, January 23, and March 20. Five Oath Keepers have taken deals in exchange for guilty pleas and cooperation with the government investigation. Three other Oath Keepers and the group’s former general counsel face upcoming trials in Washington.

Founded in 2009, Oath Keepers bills itself as a non-partisan association of current and former military, police, and first responders who pledge to fulfill the oath that all military and police take to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Taken from Article VI of the Constitution, that oath is made to the Constitution and not any politician or individual. Rhodes said his writings and the other communications that were used against him at trial were political speech that is protected by the First Amendment as enshrined in the 1969 Supreme Court case Brandenburg v. Ohio. The Brandenburg decision held that even inflammatory or violent speech is protected by the First Amendment, unless it is used to incite or is likely to cause imminent lawless action. “The government presented no witness, no evidence of any actual plan to enter the Capitol,” Rhodes said, “nor any plan to use force to resist the authority of the United States.No evidence of an actual crime, other than my very public open letters, which were, according to Brandenburg, protected speech since it did not call for imminent violence that was likely to occur.”

In two open letters to President Donald Trump in December 2020 and January 2021, Rhodes urged the president to invoke the Insurrection Act and seize evidence of fraud from the November 2020 presidential election. He urged Trump to sign an order declassifying caches of documents that he said would expose the “dirty secrets” of the “corrupt and compromised elites” in Washington. He said Trump should “throw the doors open and dump all the skeletons out of the closets and onto the streets for all the people to see and for all the world to see.”

In a twist, the jury found Rhodes not guilty of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy to prevent a member of Congress from discharging their duty. However, despite not entering the Capitol, Rhodes was found guilty of obstructing an official proceeding. “So, clearly, the jury found no evidence of any plan by me to do anything regarding entering the Capitol on Jan. 6,” he said.

Rhodes said there was never a plan for Oath Keepers to go into the Capitol. Those who did acted without authority. “There were over 100 Oath Keepers in DC on January 6, with multiple security teams working,” he said. “Unfortunately, two of those teams, on their own accord, decided to walk into the Capitol after the doors had been opened from the inside by others. I did not know that any Oath Keepers had gone inside until afterward when Meggs walked up to me outside at the northeast corner of the building and told me they had gone inside because they heard someone had been shot and went in to render medical aid, and he told me while inside they had assisted police.”

Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt was fatally shot by U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd outside the House Speaker’s Lobby at about 2:45 p.m. on January 6. Oath Keepers were not involved in efforts to save her life. Shortly after the Babbitt shooting, a group of Oath Keepers intervened between an enraged Capitol Police officer armed with an M4 rifle and protesters who were shouting at him in the Small House Rotunda. Rhodes said the Oath Keepers feared the situation would escalate to the point of the officer opening fire if they didn’t get between him and the crowd. “When Kelly Meggs told me his team had gone inside, I told him, ‘That was stupid,’ because entering the building would make it easier for our political enemies to persecute us. And that is exactly what happened.”

Rhodes said Oath Keepers has a track record of assisting law enforcement from the day of its early 2009 founding. “You will find no footage of Oath Keepers fighting with the police, or breaking windows, or forcing open doors because that didn’t happen,” he wrote.

‘Hopelessly Biased’ Jury The verdicts against the Oath Keepers were a “fait accompli”, Rhodes contended. “We were indicted by a D.C. grand jury and then tried in a D.C. court before a partisan, hopelessly biased, tainted, and prejudicial D.C. jury,” he said. “The outcome was pre-ordained. There can be no such thing as a fair trial in a D.C. court, before a D.C. jury, for any Trump supporter.”

Defense attorneys in the first Oath Keepers trial entered motions for a change of venue in April and September 2022, but those were denied by US District Judge Amit Mehta. Attorneys argued that a heavy bias against the Oath Keepers, coupled with the district’s heavily Democrat population and round-the-clock coverage of the House January 6 Select Committee made it impossible to receive a fair trial.

Rhodes believes that the first Oath Keepers trial is evidence that the First Amendment no longer carries protection against unjust prosecution. Rhodes wrote. “Yes, I was found guilty of ‘seditious conspiracy,’ which can only have been based on all of my political free speech, which was paraded in front of the jury by the prosecution and in the court’s jury instructions, the court told the jury that while the First Amendment protects free speech, the jury could consider my speech as evidence of the charged offenses. And they did just that, using my free speech as well as my lawful possession of firearms, which I left in my hotel in Virginia on January 6, as ‘evidence’ of a crime.” Prosecutors contended that a cache of weapons and ammunition stored at the Virginia hotel was intended for a quick-reaction force to attack the Capitol. The government told jurors that the Oath Keepers had mapped out land and water routes to get the arms to the Capitol. Rhodes said the weapons were a contingency if Trump used the Insurrection Act to call up a militia to defend the White House from attack by Antifa or other groups. The weapons were never brought into Washington. Defense attorneys noted that the lawful storage of weapons and ammunition was part of most Oath Keepers’ security missions around the country.

Security Detail, Not Capitol Attack Rhodes repeated what he said at trial and in statements made to the FBI in May 2021: Oath Keepers went to Washington on January 5 and 6 to provide volunteer security for VIP speakers, including conservative political consultant Roger Stone and conservative activist Ali Alexander, and to do event security at permit-approved events on Capitol grounds.

“Why did those events need volunteer security?” Rhodes asked. “Because violent leftists, including Antifa, had been attacking Trump supporters, not just in Washington D.C. but nationwide, at any Trump rally, any conservative event, anywhere they gathered, anywhere in the nation during the four years of Trump’s presidency and even during the 2016 campaign. By January 6, 2021, Oath Keepers had conducted nine volunteer security missions in Washington starting with Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, where Antifa and ‘Refuse Fascism’ organized mass assaults on Trump supporters and riots against DC police, to attempt to shut down the inauguration and/or prevent Trump supporters from attending.”

Rioting broke out across a swath of Washington on January 20, 2017, as Trump was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States. Rioters, some wearing gas masks, torched a limousine, threw bricks and chunks of concrete at police, smashed plate-glass windows in downtown businesses, and lit trash fires. More than 200 people were arrested and six police officers were injured.

“Across the nation, all through the four years of the Trump administration, Oath Keepers provided volunteer security for hundreds of events, such as the march against Sharia, and our military and police veterans also served as armed escorts outside of Trump campaign rallies, because Antifa would attack Trump supporters after the rally as they returned to their cars or hotels.”

Antifa adherents were often armed with chains, clubs, bicycle locks, or pipes, Rhodes said. None ever attacked an Oath Keeper or one of their protectees. “We deter attacks by our presence, and Antifa, to date, has never closed on us, never gotten physical, and has not been able to touch a hair on the head of anyone we protect,” he said. “Antifa fears us and doesn’t attack because of our high number of police and well-trained military veterans.”

During rioting in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, Oath Keepers protected a bakery owner and her business by stationing armed men on the roof. About 30% of the 40,000 Oath Keepers members as of January 6, 2021, were current or retired law enforcement officers, Rhodes said. The rest were military, firefighters, and first responders. “We have a near-perfect track record nationwide. Not one event we secured was forced to shut down by Antifa violence, not one person we have protected has been harmed, and all without any use-of-force incidents.”

‘Fair Warning’ for America Conditions in Washington with juries drawn from a “hyper-politicized pool of people” will only ensure more guilty verdicts, he said. “All of this adds up to any trial in D.C. of any conservative being nothing but a show trial with conviction assured, whatever the charges, whatever the so-called ‘evidence. Your real crime is being a traditional American—a Christian conservative, a believer in God-given natural rights.”

Rhodes believes that conservatives, Christians, MAGA (Make America Great Again) Republicans, and those who cherish traditional values will increasingly be targets of the left and the Department of Justice. “You will be found guilty of the crime of simply holding condemned viewpoints,” he said. “DC is a guaranteed-conviction zone for anyone on the right who is dragged into court,” he said. “And that will not change. And I do believe that Trump himself will eventually be indicted and put on trial in a public spectacle in DC.”

“You are the problem. You and some 75 to 100 million other Americans are increasingly immune to their propaganda, to their brainwashing, and to their massive gaslighting,” Rhodes said. “You see through most of it, and your eyes are opening more and more each day to the extent of their lies.”

Rhodes claimed that January 6 was a “smokescreen” to hide fraud in the 2020 election and obscure what he called efforts of the Chinese Communist Party and Marxist proxy groups to take over the U.S. government. “Consider this a fair warning that if you are not a leftist, no leftist jury will respect your right to free speech,” he said. “To the contrary, they will use your free speech as evidence to support finding you guilty—and the federal judiciary will let them do it. Everything you say on social media, in group or private chats, in public speeches and private conversations, will be paraded before the jury and they will be invited to use your speech against you and find you guilty,” Rhodes wrote. “For you, the First Amendment is dead as any kind of meaningful shield protecting your speech.”

‘Empire of Lies’ Rhodes said January 6 was and is America’s current-day Reichstag Fire, a reference to the February 1933 burning of the German parliament building. The fire was used by the Nazis to help secure totalitarian control of Germany. “January 6, 2021, was a setup,” Rhodes said. “The powers that be wanted their Reichstag Fire moment. They wanted Trump supporters to enter the Capitol and they wanted footage of some Trump supporters fighting with Capitol Police and DC Metro. Oath Keepers and Proud Boys were “the designated bogeymen of ‘J-6,’ to use as poster boys for the ‘insurrection’ narrative to smear President Trump and to make Jan. 6 into our Reichstag Fire,” Rhodes wrote. “This is only the beginning of a political persecution campaign aimed at all of you.”

When more January 6 CCTV security video is released, Rhodes alleged it “will show agitators, including some in uniform working to enrage the crowd, such as by unprovoked use of rubber bullets, pepper balls, pepper spray, and tear gas canisters fired at point-blank range by select teams of officers, while plainclothes agents and agitators [none of whom have been arrested] steered and manipulated the enraged crowd to push over the flimsy bike racks, move toward the building and to enter the Capitol.”

Rhodes said it is “laughable” to suggest there were no paid provocateurs at work on January 6. “So yes, of course, there were federal agents as well as paid federal assets all over January 6,” he said. “The only real question now is just how many there were and what they did that day.”

Rhodes quoted his former boss, former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), who once said, “Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” “We now live in an empire of lies, and yes, if you speak the truth, that empire of lies will accuse you of treason,” Rhodes said.

Retired police sergeant and Oath Keepers member Michael Nichols uses a bullhorn to make way for the police officers he was helping extract from the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. (U.S. DOJ/Screenshot via The Epoch Times) Rhodes said he plans to remain defiant, whether about the seditious-conspiracy verdict, the 2020 election, or creeping totalitarianism in Washington. “They can take my liberty and imprison my body, but they cannot 

imprison my mind, and they cannot coerce me into repeating their lies,” he wrote. “I will never bend the knee or kiss the ring. I will remain defiant and I will continue to speak the truth, so long as I draw breath.”

We prayed corporately and then offered individual prayers:

• Marsha (CA) spoke Isaiah 59:1 and 9 and asked that the Lord send justice, send truth
• Justice (NY) let the light of Christ and the angelic forces be sent into this matter, so they can obtain mercy and find help in time of need. You sent an angel to open the jail for Paul and Silas, so do that for those there in DC…and to every place, the J6 prisoners are being held! Let their endurance last, so they come out stronger, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually! Let them be catalysts across the nation! 
• Anita (NJ) read Daniel’s prayer to see how he set his face to the Lord and prayed and fasted…trusting!
• Mary Ellen (IL) Isaiah 59:14-18 “Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off;
  For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter. So truth fails, And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him That there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; And His own righteousness, it sustained Him. For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as a cloak. According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, Fury to His adversaries, Recompense to His enemies; The coastlands He will fully repay.” Danielle (SC) found the comments of Beau Davidson, who was selected to sing at Mara Lago in a private gathering for President Trump. The song describes Trump completely “for such a time as this” when threats of his arrest loom before him. He sang “The Impossible Dream”, and AFTER singing he made these comments:

“Now we consider the man, the unlikely politician and when the lyrics state ‘the world would be better for this; that one man would be scorned and covered with scares and still strove with his last ounce of courage.’ For those watching the journey of this man it becomes clear, this is Trump’s quest. Yes, it has become personal to him. If you look at the adversity from the media, the opposing party, his own party to illegal investigations to fighting terrorism to a global pandemic; he never seems to slow down. He seems unfazed. Even if you hate him personally, or dislike what he says on social media or his demeanor; it is hard to deny his unwavering focus on the quest. No matter what you think of him politically, he is undoubtedly inspired as a man with a mission. A man unwilling to take NO for an answer. By no means a man perfect but will shoot straight and do what is best for the country because he loves it. No one ever thought he had a shot at being President, people scoffed at his chances. He proved them wrong as he has a lot of personal convictions. He out-worked them all; that is undeniable. So it is fitting to have this song describe the man on the quest in the song.

The IMPOSSIBLE DREAM 

To dream the impossible dream; to fight the unbeatable foe;

to bear with unbearable sorrow; to run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong, and to love pure and chaste from afar;

to try when your arms are too weary to reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest, to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far.

To fight for the right without question or pause;

to be willing to march into Hell for that heavenly cause.

And I know if I’ll only be truе to this glorious quest,

that my heart will lie pеaceful and calm when I’m laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this: that one man, scorned and covered with scars

still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable star!

Richard and Adam – “Impossible Dream” – performed on Britain’s Got Talent 2013.

Danielle (SC) also wrote: “We never cease to be amazed at the steadfastness, the resilience, the focus, the longsuffering President Trump exhibits and not swaying from the destiny GOD has given him. It is impossible to stand and not shrink back, collapse, or give up under this kind of wickedness unless you are chosen of the LORD. So we pray for President Trump and family as once again evil tries to entrap him and destroy him. “No weapon formed against him shall prosper.” 

When asked why do you want to run for President again? He answered, “I have NO CHOICE.” 

Something inside him knows this is what he was born for and has beaten all odds. We FOCUS ON JESUS YESHUA WITH GREAT EXPECTATION.” 

We prayed corporately for this matter.

We celebrated communion together, and closed the call singing SHABBAT SHALOM! 

Love and blessings!
