THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

URGENT PRAYER NEEDED

ARE WE LOOKING AT ANOTHER BLACK MONDAY?

Good – BBB passed

Bad – Saudi Arabia: secret meetings 

Ugly – Judea & Samaria

Good: budget deal

Legislative Breakdown: What’s in the Big Bill

  • Tax Cuts Extended: The Trump-era tax reductions that were set to expire are now locked in, benefitting individuals and small businesses.
  • Tipped Wage Tax Eliminated: A major win for restaurant and service workers — and a clear political nod to working-class Americans.
  • Border Security Surge: Billions in new resources for the southern border — fencing, surveillance, and detention capabilities.
  • Regulatory Rollbacks: Additional deregulatory provisions aimed at streamlining federal red tape across sectors.
  • Planned Parenthoods lose $1 Billion close 200 facilities

Bad: Secret meetings 

Will this Monday be a “black Monday”, will Israel be sold out and told to accept a deal that is not in their best interest?  A few weeks ago Prime Minister Netanyahu flew from Europe to get Trump’s blessing to attack the nuclear facilities in Iran.  Trump told him to stand down and allow the US to broker a deal with Iran.  No deal was reached and the attacks happened anyway.  My fear is the same for this Monday, Israel needs to be in on all talks that concern peace in the Middle East. They are our long-time partners.

Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman secretly met with President Donald Trump and other key officials in the White House on Thursday to discuss de-escalation efforts with Iran, multiple sources confirmed with Fox News.

According to sources, the talks included discussions about de-escalation with Iran and getting to the negotiating table. The talks were also reportedly about ending the war in Gaza and negotiating the release of the remaining hostages – whether dead or alive – and about working toward peace in the Middle East. Although the talks were not exclusively about the possibility of normalization with Israel, sources said the conversation dealt with steps that needed to occur to get there.

The Saudis are in the process of finalizing a defense and trade deal with the U.S., and the message shared between the two allies, sources added, is that they see eye-to-eye on all issues.

  • Saudi Arabia – expansion of Abraham Accords
  • Likud Party deal to preserve Judea & Samaria
  • 60 day Hamas ceasefire
  • Who will rule Hamas?

Ugly: It’s all about the land.  

Remember James Carville ( insert crazy Cajun dialect) “It’s the economy stupid” to President Clinton on his re-election bid.  Well with Israel it is “all about the land.”

Fast forward to today: we are seeing signs of another round of Abraham Accord expansion, driven by geopolitical ambition and economic interests. Letters of warning have been sent to the White House by Pastors and Christian Conservatives, (myself included), but don’t yet know if they’ve reached President Trump’s desk. But the message remains the same

  • Genesis 15:18 (NKJV): On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.”
  • Joel 3:2 (NKJV): “I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter judgment with them there on account of My people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations: they have divided My land.”
  • Likud Party ministers in the Knesset demand that Netanyahu annex the West Bank (Biblical Judea and Samaria) before the end of the month.

Let us watch closely. Let us pray fervently. What are his faith advisors telling him?  

  • Are they speaking Biblical truth to Trump?
  • Do they understand the severity of dividing the land??
  • Or is Trump not listening to his counsel?
  • And let us speak truth boldly — that no campaign, no peace deal, and no political ambition is worth compromising the eternal covenant of the Lord.

Wrap up

  • Pray for discernment.  Someone needs to get into the President’s ear.
  • How badly does Trump want peace ?
  • Are financial deals more important?
  • Investments are great, but can two walk together???
  • Intercede because God frowns on division of the land of promise (covenant?)
  • Honoring God’s covenant with Israel is MAGA or America first.
  • Israel is the best friend we have in the world & in the most volatile area of  the world is Israel.

Sage words from Ambassador Mike Huckabee : “Hamas has “no future” in Gaza, it would be like the Nazis rebuilding Germany after WW2

Prayer points below:

  • Discernment for President Trump
  • No division of the land
  • No two state solution
  • Safety for IDF and citizens of Israel
  • Hostages returned first before a cease fire
  • Psalms 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

Jews Are Not Just a People, But They are A Testimony

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Below is an excellent article that captures so very much about the stamina and drive of the Jewish people and a small nation called Israel. Rh

This is an excellent article by Alister Heath, a British journalist for the Daily Telegraph:

There’s something about Israel that makes people uncomfortable, and it’s not what they say it is.

They’ll point to politics, settlements, borders, and wars. But scratch beneath the outrage, and you’ll find something deeper. A discomfort not with what Israel does, but with what Israel is.

A nation this small should not be this strong. Period.

Israel has no oil. No special natural resources. A population barely the size of a mid-sized American city. They are surrounded by enemies. Hated in the United Nations. Targeted by terror. Condemned by celebrities. Boycotted, slandered, and attacked.

And still, they thrive like there’s no tomorrow.

In military. In medicine. In security. In technology. In agriculture. In intelligence. In morality. In sheer, unbreakable will.

They turn desert into farmland.

They make water from air.

They intercept rockets in mid-air.

They rescue hostages under the nose of the world’s worst regimes.

They survive wars that were supposed to wipe them out, and win.

The world watches this and can’t make sense of it.

So they do what people do when they witness strength they can’t understand.

They assume it must be cheating.

It must be American aid.

It must be foreign lobbying.

It must be oppression.

It must be theft.

It must be some dark trick that gave the Jews this kind of power.

It must be blackmail.

Because heaven forbid it’s something else.

Heaven forbid it’s real.

Heaven forbid it’s earned.

Or worse, destined.

The Jewish people were supposed to disappear a long, long time ago. That’s how the story of exiled, enslaved, hated minorities is supposed to end. But the Jews didn’t disappear. They actually came home, rebuilt their land, revived their language, and brought their dead back to life — in memory, in identity, and in strength.

That’s not normal.

It’s not political.

It’s biblical.

There’s no cheat code that explains how a group of people return to their homeland after 2,000 years.

There is no rational path from gas chambers to global influence.

And there is no historical precedent for surviving the Babylonians, the Romans, the Crusaders, the Inquisition, the pogroms, and the Holocaust, and still showing up to work on Monday in Tel Aviv.

Israel doesn’t make sense.

Unless you believe in something beyond the math.

This is what drives the world crazy. Because if Israel is real, if this improbable, ancient, hated nation is somehow still chosen, protected, and thriving, then maybe God isn’t a myth after all.

Maybe He’s still in the story.

Maybe history isn’t random.

Maybe evil doesn’t get the last word.

Maybe the Jews are not just a people… but a testimony.

That’s what they can’t stand.

Because once you admit that Israel’s survival isn’t just impressive, but divine, everything changes. Your moral compass has to reset. Your assumptions about history, power, and justice collapse. You realize you’re not watching the end of an empire. You’re witnessing the beginning of something eternal.

So they deny it.

They smear it.

And rage against it.

Because it’s easier to call a miracle “cheating” than to face the possibility that God keeps His promises.

And He’s keeping them still!

Prayerfully consider the article above. Well stated with many concerns that I have as well. Something has been off with the Abraham Accords since day one, at least that was my feeling. We are living in Biblical times. You were born for such a time as this. Rh

It’s Treason

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Any Congressman that votes for illegal aliens to receive one red cent of benefits, should be removed from office and tried for treason.  That is my money that I have paid into for decades.  They are not deserving of anything but a quick trip back to their homeland.

Being raised on a farm, I learned the value of hard work.  I learned how to drive a tractor at a very early age, probably around 10 or 12 years of age.  At fourteen I was hired out to a family member to work every day including Saturday from 7:00 AM till 7:30 PM.  I earned $10 a day.  Hard work and self reliance was instilled at an early age and has continued throughout my life.  I worked for almost 60 years, and so did my wife.

I know some will cry crocodile tears over this essay, but I said what I said.  Why are we as a people electing representatives who allow our country to be changed from what it was, to what it will become by illegals who care nothing about our way of life?  Look at the protests, they hate our government, unless they are receiving our money.  It is a fundamental changing of the values of America.  It is time to stop the insanity.  

Let me repeat, any Congressman who votes to approve any budget that gives our money away in benefits to illegals needs to be tried for treason.  They are contributing to the decline and fall of America.

God have mercy on us and save us from the stupidity and the purposeful destruction of this land that is a God ordained Republic. Rh

Netanyahu & Trump Reportedly Working on a Plan to End Gaza War and Expand Abraham Accords

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Well here we go again, mentioning a two state solution.  When will the supposed brilliant Trump administration (who plays 4D chess) realize that the Palestinians will never be peaceful.  They don’t deserve a state.  They are a terror group!  Where is this state going to be?  Next to Israel?  That won’t work and no Arab nation in the Middle East wants them.  Never have, never will.  Pushing a two state solution cannot happen.  God is not honored by this dividing of the land or allowing the inheritance given to Israel to be ”squatted on,” by the Palestinians.   Rh

US President Donald Trump is reportedly pushing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to conclude the 20-month-old war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip following the success of the 12-day war against Iran, several Hebrew media outlets reported Thursday, amid calls in Israel for the same.

Meanwhile, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported that as part of the American president’s plan to end the war, new countries would join the Abraham Accords, and Israel would be required to commit to supporting a future Palestinian state.

Citing an unnamed source familiar with the conversation, the newspaper reported that during the phone call, the two leaders agreed to wrap up the war in Gaza within two weeks, requiring Israel to halt its military offensive and Hamas to release the remaining 50 hostages.

The Palestinian terror group’s leadership would then be exiled, and four Arab states, including the UAE and Egypt, would be tasked with jointly governing the war-torn enclave in its place, the report said. It did not identify the other two Arab states that would supposedly govern the territory. Reported by watch.org

Alert: FBI Monitoring Possible Domestic Sleeper Cells

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

By Joe Saunders, The Western Journal 

This has been the fear all along with Democrats open border policy. Rh

The FBI under Director Kash Patel is increasingly vigilant against the possibility that sleeper cells — operatives who remain quiet in a target country until ordered into activity — will engage in attacks within the United States, CBS Newsreported Thursday.

It could be the badly wounded Islamic Republic’s last throw of the dice, an analyst who specializes in Iran told reporters.

“The very fact now that the Iranian regime is volatile, it’s targeted, and it’s highly vulnerable — that’s what actually makes it increasingly dangerous to the West, in that it has nothing to lose it has this about this sense of nihilism, and it affects the rational calculus,” Barak Seener, research fellow with the conservative, U.K.-based Henry Jackson Society, told reporters during a conference call Wednesday, according to the New York Post.

Israel Shall Not Be Moved

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Why I know Israel wins in the end.  No one can drive them out of their land.  The Lord said He would restore Israel, and He fulfilled that prophecy on May 14 1948.  Once they are back, they will never leave again.

Jeremiah 16:14-16 

Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.”

Therefore behold the days are coming: The previous word from Jeremiah was about as dark as could be, with God promising I will not show you favor in the land of their coming exile. Yet as if God could not help Himself, that word of despair is immediately followed by a wonderful and gracious promise.

 No more shall it be said, “The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt”: God’s deliverance of His people from Egypt was the central act of redemption in the Old Testament. Through the Passover celebration and in many other ways, God constantly reminded Israel of this great work.  

c. But, “The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them”: God made a remarkable promise – that there would be a new measure of His greatness and redemptive power. The new measure would be the return from captivity when God would bring them back into their land.

“The reference to ‘all the countries’ shows that the prophet was predicting a restoration from a general dispersion after the Exile.” After AD 70 the Jews were scattered unto the four corners of the earth.  No nation could survive that, however the Jews did!  Because of God.  A greater than Egypt may very well be pulling them back from all nations

God was so determined to fulfill His promise to a return to the land, He sent out fishers (to catch them) and hunters (to hunt them down) to return them to the land of promise. Even so far as the cleft of the rock. (Place of hiding and safety.)

No one could deny the greatness of the deliverance from Egypt, but the regathering was even greater.  Here God pulls them back to their homeland

Isaiah 43:5-6 God says I will bring your descendants from the East (behind the iron curtain), from the west (Western Europe & America), the North (following the fall of the Soviet Union), the South (Ethiopians Jews in 1991).  God brought His sons and daughters from the ends of the earth, to a land given to Abraham.  No people group could have accomplished this on their own.  But God…..

Why do I believe Israel will never be defeated, because they have returned and made the desert blossom like a rose.🌹 

 There is a valuable spiritual analogy here. The initial work of redemption in the life of a believer is great; but the restoring work of the believer – when God brings a chastened child of His out of a metaphorical exile and back into His favor and promise – this work may sometimes be regarded as even greater. This is the principle God revealed to Jeremiah.

None of us are too far gone that Jesus cannot restore.  Welcome home child, you belong in the Father’s arms!
