Is President Obama putting the Israeli people at risk?

Take Action  |   Contribute   Like     f   Like this on Facebook   Robert, President Obama is threatening to force Israel to negotiate with terrorists. He’s empowering terrorists at the expense of our closest ally in the Middle East. He’s putting the Israeli people at grave risk. America has always defended Israel at the United Nations, but now President Obama is willing to use the U.N. as a weapon against against Israel - all because he's angry at the Israeli people for re-electing a strong Prime Minister. We’re mobilizing our offices in Washington, Jerusalem, and at the U.N. to take direct action for Israel. In just days, we will send a powerful legal letter to the White House. We’ll make the legal case for why America must support our ally Israel and why it cannot force Israel to negotiate with those seeking to destroy it. But we need to hear from you. Add your name today to defend Israel. Sign Our New Letter: Mr. President, You Can’t Bully Israel at U.N.

March 11, 2015 - If My People - On Watch in Washington

If you are having trouble viewing this alert click here.

A MAJOR SHIFT IN OBAMA'S WORDS   President Obama's winding path on same-sex marriage reached a major new milepost Friday when his administration told the Supreme Court that the Constitution does not allow states to prohibit gay couples from marrying.   Prayer points like this one are so critical to the future of our country, would you consider a financial gift so we can continue to provide these? The filing's bold language - "these facially discriminatory laws impose concrete harms on same-sex couples and send the inescapable message that same-sex couples and their children are second-class families" - captures the enormous shift Obama has made since he first sought the presidency in 2007. Prayer focus: President Obama is only part of the issue here, though promoting a deviant position. He is who he is, and Americans twice have elected him to the presidency. He has proven to be elusive and "flexible" (to say the least) with his statements and on many positions. We know intercessors are praying for him and his family. Please continue to pray for salvation for the first family. The president is no more or less a sinner than others who need Jesus Christ for forgiveness, changed attitudes, and eternal life. Pray, too, for God's mercy for our country, your church, and for the Church at large, as it is through His people that God will turn our nation back to Himself. Meditate on David's prayer of contrition and repentance.   "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom."   (Ps 51: 1-2, 6)   "He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy." (Prov 28:13)         CONCERN THAT PM NETANYAHU COULD BE DEFEATED  A week from Tuesday, on March 17th, millions of Israelis will go to the polls for one of the most consequential national elections of our times. We will be casting ballots for the political party of our choice, and in so doing choosing the makeup of the next Knesset (parliament) and our next Prime Minister.   It is such an urgent hour for our nation, could you help provide the finances to mobilize more to pray? As I've been traveling across the U.S. in recent weeks on The Third Target book tour, people have been asking me whether Benjamin Netanyahu will return as Prime Minister, particularly in the wake of his impressive but controversial speech to Congress. Prayer Focus: Conservative heroes and statesmen have frequently been disregarded and dropped by those who should be grateful. Primary examples: England's treatment of Winston Churchill after WW2 and of Margaret Thatcher after she sided with the U.S. during the Cold War. Many Christians who support Israel believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu has acted courageously on behalf of his country's interests - indeed, its survival. We believe, as Daniel did, that God raises up "kings" (national leaders) and puts them down. Pray for His determined will. Pray that God will be glorified and Israel will elect the leader and party to fulfill His purposes. Pray for Israel to turn to the Lord.   "Daniel answered and said: 'Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.'" (Dan 2:20-22)         CLEANING UP THE CAMPUS BOONDOGGLES Readers of this column are familiar with my argument that a conservative tide is sweeping the country, contrary to the mainstream media. In the off-year elections of 2010 and 2014, the gains made by conservatives have been substantial in governors' mansions and in state legislatures. To be sure, they have been substantial in Washington, too, at the House and Senate level, but I would argue that they have been more consequential at the state level. There, old conventions that have been in place since the left-wing 1960s are being heaved out and a clamor of protest is being heard from the evicted. It can only get worse.   Help us get prayer points like this one out to more people. Since the late 1960s, state universities have established departments and "learning" centers that have nothing to do with education and everything to do with advocacy for a certain narrow points of view - say, minority studies, feminist studies, advocacy for the poor, people with eating disorders, chronic bedwetters - that sort of thing. State governments also have allowed taxpayers' dollars to be skimmed off into similar projects. Now state governments, recently taken over by conservative Republicans - possibly even by tea partyers - are closing down such boondoggles and provoking howls of indignation from the so-called aggrieved. Prayer focus: It is no secret that many university campus settings are in moral, social, and political crisis. Pray for Christian parents to have wisdom to prepare their children for campus environment and to choose the right college. We do not suggest that Christian colleges are free from risks, but statistics show that they are safer. Parents, are your children trained in how to protect themselves socially from predatory stalkers? Pray for a generation of young people to come forth with a grounded Christian worldview before going off to college. Pray for an awakened Church to preach and teach sound doctrine and not water down its message for popularity.   "As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving." (Col 2:6-7)   "... that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting..." (Eph 4:14)         BOKO HARAM PLEDGES ALLEGIANCE TO ISLAMIC STATE Nigerian militant group Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in a new audio message believed to be recorded by the group's leader, Abubakar Shekau.   A financial statement is available from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Consumer Affairs, 102 Governor Street, Richmond, VA 23219 In the recording, a man identifying himself as Shekau vowed to follow Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and urged Muslims everywhere to pledge allegiance to the caliph, according to SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S.-based organization, USA Today reported. Prayer focus: Boko Haran goes in and out of news headlines depending on its most recent atrocious acts. This report is essentially saying "Terrorist group A has joined terrorist group B." These separate identities all have a singular purpose, which is to bring murder and subjection to all non-Muslims. Pray for world opinion, including in the U.S., to reach the tipping point of indignation and righteous anger and take unified steps to say, "Enough!" We ask again, where is the World Court? Where is the United Nations?     "Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord." (Rom 12:19)   "The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie, and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness." (2 Thess 2:9-12)     UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES  Unintended pregnancies cost American taxpayers $21 billion each year, according to a new analysis released by the Guttmacher Institute. That averages out to a cost of about $366 per every woman of childbearing age in the U.S. Overall, more than half of U.S. pregnancies are unintended, and roughly 1-in-20 American women of reproductive age have an unplanned pregnancy each year.   Prayer points like this one are so critical to the future of our country, would you consider a financial gift so we can continue to provide these? Nationally there were 1.5 million unplanned births in 2010. Public insurance programs like Medicaid paid for 68 percent of those births. "On average, a publicly funded birth cost $12,770 in prenatal care, labor and delivery, postpartum care and the first 12 months of infant care; care for months 13-60 cost, on average, another $7,947, for a total cost per birth of $20,716," the study found. Prayer focus: We will say up front that we are suspicious of the motivation behind this article. The Guttmacher Institute is no friend of the unborn, as it works closely with Planned Parent on all fronts to justify abortion as the "answer" to an unplanned (read: unwanted) pregnancy. Are people to be so shocked at these costs that they will choose to abort the innocent child because he or she is unplanned? Is that the goal? We urge caution and prayer for the right outcome. Please pray as conscience directs. Analyze this article personally and perhaps do research to discover what is behind all this talk of "expense."     "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."   (Gal 6:7-9)   OBAMA'S WORDS A MAJOR SHIFT NETANYAHU COULD BE DEFEATED CLEANING CAMPUS BOONDOGGLES BOKO HARAM PLEDGES TO ISIS UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES NASA ORBITING DWARF PLANET DISRUPTOR IN PLASTIC STUDENTS PRAY FOR FRAT INCIDENT   Sign up at Get America Praying Resources    See who is praying around you!    Start a prayer website for free!    IFAPray.org
