6. Ex-Shin Bet head calls on PM to end spat with Obama over Iran deal -Times of Israel

A former head of Israel's Shin Bet security service called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop battling US President Barack Obama on the nuclear deal reached between Iran and world powers, and instead work more closely with the US administration to enhance Israel's security.

In a New York Times op-ed, Ami Ayalon said Netanyahu should recognize the accord signed in July as a "done deal," and slammed the PM's "spiteful" battle with the US president over the accord as counter productive in a "post-deal world."

7. Netanyahu: 'Tyrant' Khamenei is wrong, Israel is here to stay - Times of Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday dismissed comments by the Iranian supreme leader that Israel will have ceased to exist in 25 years, vowing the Jewish state is here to stay. The prime minister said remarks by the "tyrant" supreme leader left no "room for illusion" for supporters of the nuclear deal.

"Khamenei is not giving supporters of the agreement any room for illusion. He has made it clear that the US is the Great Satan and that Iran intends to destroy the State of Israel," Netanyahu said after landing in London for talks with British Prime Minister David Cameron. "This will not happen. Israel is a strong country and it will become even stronger."

Dozens of intelligence analysts working at the U.S. military's Central Command (CENTCOM) have complained that their reports on ISIS and the Nusra Front in Syria were inappropriately altered by senior officials, according to a published report.

The Daily Beast reported late Wednesday that more than 50 analysts had supported a complaint to the Pentagon that the reports had been changed to make the terror groups seem weaker than the analysts believe they really are. Fox News confirmed last month that the Defense Department's inspector general was investigating the initial complaint, which the New York Times reported was made by a civilian employee of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).

(Read more)

3. GM embryos 'essential', says report - BBC

It is "essential" that the genetic modification of human embryos is allowed, says a group of scientists, ethicists and policy experts. A Hinxton Group report says editing the genetic code of early stage embryos is of "tremendous value" to research.

It adds although GM babies should not be allowed to be born at the moment, it may be "morally acceptable" under some circumstances in the future. The US refuses to fund research involving the gene editing of embryos. (Read more)

- Father, this "genetically modified" plan to use human embryos attempts to take Your hand from the process. We ask that You do whatever it take to shut down such "research" and reveal Your power. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

- "The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations." (Psalm 33:11)

The memorial, also placed in 2012 on the date, consists of small flags displayed around the quad, and was very well received by students. This year, though, the University denied the request for the memorial, citing "irrigation" concerns. (Read more)

- Father, as the politically correct agenda tries to move forward, we thank You that the College Republicans were able to force a change in this University's decision. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

6. URGENT! California lawmakers approve right-to-die bill- RT

A bill allowing terminally ill people to legally end their lives has been passed by the California State Assembly. The measure now goes to the State Senate, which is expected to give the act its endorsement. However, California Governor Jerry Brown, a lifelong Catholic, has not said whether he will sign it into law. Approved on a 42-33 vote, The End of Life Option Act would allow doctors to prescribe life-ending medication, according to the Associated Press. Specifically, patients would be required to make two oral requests spaced 15 days apart, and submit one written request. All three requests would have to be personally received by an attending physician. (Read more)

- Lord, this action by California lawmakers grieves us- we pray that Gov Brown will not sign it, and that the legislature will not be able to move over a veto. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. - "For Your word has given me life . . ." (Psalm 119:50b)

Qasem Soleimani, commander of Iran's elite Quds Force, has sent hundreds of ground soldiers into Syria in the past few days apparently in cooperation with Russia's President Vladimir Putin, said a senior Israeli security official Thursday.

Russia has also recently deployed military assets in Syria and according to the Israeli source, has teamed up with Iran in an unprecedented attempt to protect the embattled regime of Bashar Assad from falling to rebel groups including the Islamic State.

The Israeli source said that Iran's increased military involvement in Syria was "due to Assad's crisis and under Russian-Iranian cooperation as a result of a meeting between Soleimani with Russian President Vladimir Putin," said the Israeli source. (Read more)

- Father, we echo the prayer above, now including Iran in this intercession. Thank You, Lord, that as we pray, You will answer . . . and bring peace and safety to your people. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

"It is a symbolic thing, but another step to solidify the pillars of the state of Palestine in the international arena," Riyad Mansour said. (Read more)

- Dear Lord God Almighty in Heaven, this is not just a "symbolic thing" . . . this is a move to acknowledge the sovereignty of a Palestinian state, which is a lie. Lord God, we beseech Thee to block this action and cause it to come to nought. We ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen and amen.

- "Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; Speak the word, but it will not stand, For God is with us." (Is. 8:10)


10. Geert Wilders tells Dutch parliament refugee crisis is 'Islamic invasion' - Jerusalem Post

European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker on Wednesday appealed to EU members to share out refugees arriving on the bloc's fringes. Several EU countries oppose the idea of mandatory quotas, as supported by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and the conservative Dutch government says it is only willing to take in more if all EU states agree.

At the start of the debate, Wilders called the wave of refugees passing through Hungary and other countries "an Islamic invasion of Europe, of the Netherlands."

"Masses of young men in their twenties with beards singing Allahu Akbar across Europe. It's an invasion that threatens our prosperity, our security, our culture and identity," he said. (Read more)

- Father God, we ask that You would move upon the hearts of the leaders of the EU and America to heed the warning and the wise counsel of Geert Wilders. We ask that You would lift the spirit of blindness off of their minds, and help them to see the truth spoken here. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. - "Ears to hear and eyes to see--both are gifts from the LORD." (Provebs 20:12 NLT) -

Iran's Khamenei vows Israel's demise


There should be no doubt that the United States is making the wrong move, and a possibly destructive one, by agreeing with Iran on a nuclear deal, and paying the terrorist-sponsoring state hundreds of billions of dollars. All the signs are there--in the past decade, Iran has developed its nuclear program by agreeing to inspections and then refusing them; agreeing to limitations, then violating them, finally resulting in sanctions. But there is no cat and mouse on this day when the US Congress is discussing whether to allow the "president" to go forward with his deal that will assuredly allow Iran a nuclear weapon and pay them with US tax dollars to put the finishing touches on it. Iran's leadership is clear on this.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took to the social media airwaves Wednesday to clearly and definitively spell out his intentions with the nuclear agreement. The Times of Israel reports that Khamenei posted on Twitter, "After negotiations, in Zionist regime they said they had no more concern about Iran for next 25 years; I'd say: Firstly, you will not see next 25 years; God willing, there will be nothing as Zionist regime by next 25 years. Secondly, until then, struggling, heroic and jihadi morale will leave no moment of serenity for Zionists." According to the Times, the quote was taken from a speech given earlier in the day. It was accompanied by a picture of Khamenei walking on the flag of Israel.

Khamenei also had some things to say about the United States--"@IRKhomeini stated "US is the Great Satan," some insist on depicting this Great Satan as an angel." Khamenei stated on his website, "We approved talks with the United States about [the] nuclear issue specifically. We have not allowed talks with the US in other fields and we [do] not negotiate with them." He said that any additional talks would be "a tool for penetration and imposing their demands." These inflammatory remarks are consistent with what has been published in Iran's official media since the very beginning of the talks with Secretary of State John Kerry. Iran has been up front and aggressively telegraphing its intentions.

The "president" has reportedly secured enough Democratic votes to filibuster a recorded vote in the Senate on the agreement. They want a voice vote so Americans, who overwhelmingly oppose this deal, will not know who voted for it. The prophetic implications for the US are severe as in Genesis 12:3 God says of Israel, "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curses thee." In Zechariah 12:3 God says, "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone...all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces..." God is consistent with the beginning and end regarding Israel. Congressional Democrats are being implicit in supporting evil and know they are doing it because they seek to block a recorded vote. Cowards hiding behind procedures. But the Lord knows their hearts.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Major Sandstorm Hits Israel

Israelis suffer through worst dust storm in 10 years;
minimum temperatures in most areas of the country were the highest
ever measured for September


Poor visibility, heavy heat and extreme mugginess are forecast throughout the country into Thursday and beyond. The dusty weather is the heaviest and most polluting to hit the country in 15 years, according to the Environmental Protection Ministry.

Peak electricity demand hit an all-time high on Wednesday, climbing to 12,905 megawatts at 2:45 p.m., with the Israel Electric Corporation providing 10,065 megawatts and private power producers supplying the remainder. Previously, the record was broken during the second heat wave of the summer, with consumption reaching 12,800 megawatts on August 3.

Overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, minimum temperatures in most areas of the country were the highest ever measured for September, and those in the Dead Sea and Arava Desert were the highest minimum temperatures ever recorded for any day of the year, according to IMS data. In Sodom, the minimum nighttime temperature was a suffocating 36.5°C. (Jerusalem Post)

- Father, we ask that Your Hand of protection would rest upon Your people as they endure this intense storm. Bring them through this time safely, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen and amen.

Thousands Attend Rally on Capitol Hill

Protesting the Iranian Nuclear Deal


Cruz: If Iran Deal Passes, Obama Administration Will Become 'World's Leading Financier of Radical Islamic Terrorism'


At a rally in front of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday to protest President Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said the Obama administration would become the "world's leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism," if Congress approves the Iran deal brokered by the president and Secretary of State John Kerry.

"This Iranian nuclear deal is catastrophic," said Cruz at the rally, sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots. "It is the single greatest national security threat facing America."
"If it goes through, there will be three consequences," said Cruz. "Number one, the Obama administration will become quite literally the world's leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism."

"If it goes through, over $100 billion will flow directly to Iran, to the Ayatollah Khamenei, and billions of those dollars will go directly to Hamas, to Hezbollah, to the Hutis, to radical Islamic terrorists across the world," said Cruz, "and those jihadists will use those billions to murder Americans, to murder Israelis, to murder Europeans."
Cruz went on to say that he agrees with former Senator Joe Lieberman, an Independent who caucused with the Democrats, on the importance of Congress' vote on the deal. (CNSNews.com)

House GOP shakes up Iran strategy

House GOP shakes up Iran strategy


House Republicans are changing course on a vote to oppose the Iranian nuclear deal after facing intense criticism from some of the conference’s conservative members.
Instead of a single vote to disapprove of the deal, the House will now hold three separate votes on the agreement.
One would be a resolution to approve of the deal — which is sure to fail and, in the process, force many Democrats to break from the White House.
The second would be to express a sense of the House that the Obama administration has not met the requirements of legislation guaranteeing congressional oversight of the deal by failing to give lawmakers text of the “secret side deals.” The bilateral deals between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency are at the center of the House’s uprising over the Iran pact, and concern the details of inspections at some Iranian sites.
Finally, the House would vote to prevent the U.S. from lifting sanctions on Iran as part of complying with the nuclear deal. (The Hill)

ROCK OF AGES

"The Lord is my Rock, and my Fortress, and my Deliverer." (Psalm 18:2)


Lyrics

Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Save from wrath and make me pure.

Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to the cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

Japan floods: City of Joso hit by 'unprecedented' rain


Widespread flooding and landslides in north-east Japan have forced more than 90,000 people to abandon their homes. The city of Joso, north of the capital, Tokyo, was hit by a wall of water after the Kinugawa River burst its banks. Helicopter rescue teams have been plucking people from rooftops.

At least eight people are still missing and 100 need rescuing. The rains come a day after a tropical storm brought winds of up to 125km/h (78mph) to central Aichi prefecture.
The chief forecaster at the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), Takuya Deshimaru, said that the rainfall was "unprecedented" for that part of Japan. "We can say this is an abnormal situation and there is imminent serious danger," he went on. (BBC) Read more.
- Father, we lift up a prayer for the thousands of citizens in the nation of Japan that are being impacted by these floods. Lord Jesus, we ask that You be with each one, bring them Your comfort, and help the rescue teams to be fully successful in their mission today in saving lives. We ask that those lives be saved unto You, Lord, in the name of Jesus we pray, amen and amen.

- "Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation." (Psalm 85:7)

At a Berlin church, Muslim refugees converting in droves


Hundreds embrace Christianity in possible effort to boost chances of winning asylum, although most claim to be true believers. "Will you break away from Satan and his evil deeds?" pastor Gottfried Martens asks the Iranian refugee. "Will you break away from Islam?" "Yes," Zonoobi fervently replies. Spreading his hands in blessing, Martens then baptizes the man "in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost." Mohammed is now Martin - no longer Muslim, but Christian.
