BREAKING CHRISTIAN NEWS – OCTOBER 27, 2023

[FoxNews.com] Rep. Mike Johnson was elected by the House to become the next speaker as Republicans rallied behind their fourth nominee to replace former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Johnson could afford only a handful of defections from his fellow Republicans in the chamber-wide vote, but unlike prior candidates, there were no defections to his candidacy from his party. He won 220 votes, needing around 217 to become speaker… Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here Click Here to read.

…Pray Psalm 91 over your family and community … Ask God to uncover every [Hamas] sleeper cell in the United States. Pray to uncover their activities. Intercede that their funding be cut off…

[Generals.org] Dear Prayer Warriors, (Image: Unsplash-edited)

Mike and I flew to Israel two weeks before the recent barbarous attacks there. God gave me a word that Believers in Israel needed to “Call 911”, as I saw dark clouds coming against the nation and warned of terrorist attacks. I told my husband that I was extremely agitated, and wrote a word on the plane that war was coming.

I do not believe one has to be a prophet to realize that we are in a precarious place in America as well. Of course, we are all grieving and praying for Israel and the innocent in Gaza. However, for the past week, I have been extremely agitated as to the threat of attacks by terrorists on our own soil.

As I prayed for confirmation, I read an article entitled, “The Hamas Network in America: A Short History,” written by Lorenzo Vidino from George Washington University in their Program on Extremism. Things became more clear to me as I studied it. The article lays out the plan of the Palestine Committee to take over the United States in a systematic way. One of the quotes is, “I swear by Allah that war is a deception. Let’s not hoist a large Islamic flag and let’s not be barbaric-talking. We will remain a front so that if the thing (the government ban on Hamas) happens, we will benefit from the new happenings instead of having all of our organizations classified and exposed.”

One of the most chilling parts of the report is the strategy they began in 1988, and some believe much earlier in the 1960s, which involves radicalizing students to be Pro-Hamas on our college campuses. For instance, the Students for Justice in Palestine was formed on our campuses starting in 1992, and now has around 200 to 300 chapters, not only in the US but Canada. We now know that professors as well as students are activists and their rallies are filled with anti-Semitic rhetoric. Hamas has co-opted the narrative about Free Palestine and infected it with a radicalized version that can and will, erupt into violence on various campuses.

I had already felt a strong warning that sleeper cells were already spread across America and were going to “hatch”, and had been sharing it as a prophetic warning. At first, like many, I pictured this being a loose group of extremists who had been radicalized. I no longer feel that way. I now believe there is a connected group here in the United States that is very much like the group that planned the 9/11 attacks.

The warning I want to issue is for immediate “Call 911” intercession from all across the nation to stop the terrorist attacks from becoming Israel/Hamas-type killings on our campuses and house-to-house. Our university campuses need intercessory prayer. Our neighborhoods need intercessory prayer. Our churches need intercessory prayer, and our homes need intercessory prayer.

Many intercessors have read the book, “Reese Howells, Intercessor.” It is not enough to simply read about Howells. We must become him in this hour for the sake of our nation.

How to pray:

• Pray Psalm 91 over your family and community every day.
• Prayer-drive your neighborhood, city, and state borders, and pray.
• Pray that the intelligence community will have “eyes to see” radical plans being made and stop them.
• Pray over the schools in your area.
• Find out what pro-Hamas student groups are operating on college campuses and pray that they will not lead violent protests.
• Ask God to uncover every sleeper cell in the United States. Pray to uncover their activities.
• Intercede that their funding be cut off.

After apparently being inundated with complaints … Hilton ultimately made the decision to cancel the conference.

[MRCTV.org] A Hilton Hotel in Houston, Texas recently canceled a conference on Palestine, which was to feature a number of prominent anti-Israeli speakers. As reported by the Western Journal, the event, the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights National Conference, was to be hosted at the hotel from October 27 to October 29 under the theme “Seize the moment.” (Screengrab image: via Gov. Greg Abbott on X)

As it turns out, a Hamas attack that killed over 1,400 people may not have been the most opportune moment for the conference to seize upon.

The decidedly less-than-illustrious lineup for the event included the foremost among the anti-Israel activism crowd, such as Democrat Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who recently led a protest at the United States Capitol demanding a ceasefire.

Also scheduled to appear were Women’s March leader Linda Sarsour and leftist academic Marc Lamont Hill. Hill, in particular, once declared support for the destruction of the state of Israel, stating “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” The river and sea in question are the River Jordan and Mediterranean, implying that the entirety of the land currently occupied by Israel should be subsumed by the future Arab state.

Conservative activist Laura Loomer was, reportedly, one of the first to draw attention to the event, spurring significant online outcry. After apparently being inundated with complaints from Loomer’s followers, Hilton ultimately made the decision to cancel the conference.

In a statement concerning their rationale for canceling the event, Hilton cited security concerns as one of the primary factors, stating, “given escalating security concerns in the current environment, the hotel has determined that it cannot serve as the venue for this event because of the potential risks to our team members and guests.”

Oftentimes, it has been the case that the left has been the only ideological faction in America capable of pressuring companies to reconsider their support for particular events. Yet, in this case, it seems that organized and motivated conservative groups may be capable of accomplishing similar feats. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here

[FoxNews.com] Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in coordination with the chancellor of the state’s university system, has moved to crack down on student groups in the state they say have expressed support for “Hamas terrorism,” which possibly involves terminating the student chapters and suspending school administrators … The letter states that a student group present in at least two universities in the Florida system, known as National Students for Justice in Palestine (National SJP), published a “toolkit” that refers to the Hamas operation as “the resistance” and says that “Palestinian students in exile are PART of this movement, not in solidarity with this movement.” “These chapters exist under the headship of the National Students for Justice in Palestine, who distributed a toolkit identifying themselves as part of the Operation AlAqsa Flood,” Rodrigues writes… Click Here to read.

Red states appear to be realizing that, even in hives of entrenched DEI ideology like public universities, it is well within their power to limit or otherwise handicap its promulgation.

[MRCTV.org] The state of Florida is looking to implement legislation that would prohibit its universities from using public funds to “advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion” or “promote or engage in political or social activism.” (Image: Unsplash-Karl Callwood)

The proposed piece of legislation, as reported by AL.com, defines activism in detail, stating that it is, “any activity organized with a purpose of effecting or preventing change to a government policy, action, or function, or any activity intended to achieve a desired result related to social issues, where the university endorses or promotes a position in communications, advertisements, programs, or campus activities.”

Naturally, this legislation has already sparked outcry among university faculty and associates, with University of South Florida general counsel Gerlad Solis calling it “overbroad.” While the activities which could fall under the definition of political and social activism within the regulation are relatively broad, it does make specific exceptions for student organizations, school lobbying, and areas set aside in order to accommodate requirements for federal funding and accreditation. Instead, the regulation is targeted toward cracking down on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ideology at Florida’s public universities.

The regulation appears to be part of a larger trend of state legislators taking matters into their own hands to combat the promotion of DEI by state-funded universities.

Last week, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R) withheld pay raises from staff at University of Wisconsin system schools after the school refused to abolish 188 DEI-related positions. Additionally, the state of Arizona passed a statute in 2022 which prohibited state schools from using public funds for DEI-oriented training. Subsequent attempts by Arizona State University to bypass or ignore the legislation have been brought to light by the Goldwater Institute.

Red states appear to be realizing that, even in hives of entrenched DEI ideology like public universities, it is well within their power to limit or otherwise handicap its promulgation.

Raised in ignorance of his true sex, “Sophie” Ottaway experienced a troubled adolescence, leading to depression and substance use.

[LifeSiteNews.com] Earlier this week, The Daily Wire published a gut-wrenching editorial penned by Sophie Ottaway titled “Doctors Performed A Sex Change Operation On Me At Two-Days-Old. I Found Out Decades Later.” It is yet another cautionary tale detailing the folly of gender ideology and the suffering borne by its victims.  (Image: Pixabay)

When Sophie was 22, Ottaway discovered something stunning during a “routine trip to the doctor’s office”—that Ottaway was born male. Two days after birth, doctors had decided to remove “my split penis and testes” and “directed my parents to raise me as a female,” ordering them to keep this fact from Sophie “under the guise of psychological protection.” Ottaway is now 37 and decided to pen the editorial to lay out “the journey I undertook to make peace with myself and my body.”

Sophie had a largely happy childhood in the North of England, but was lied to by both parents and physicians. Urological problems were constantly present; Sophie was told that this was due to a “rare birth condition” and that “I’d been born with ovaries, but due to my condition, they’d been damaged and removed at birth.” As Sophie became a teen, the complications of this condition became clear as periods never came, and estrogen was prescribed:

I started to understand how my lack of (a) vagina would impact my future relationships. At the same time, I knew I had very little interest in the boys around me and struggled to come to terms with the idea that I was most likely gay. I spiraled into a dark period of depression and in my college years began to find an outlet for my pain in drink, drugs, and heavy metal music.

After Sophie found out the truth about being born male—accidentally seeing the evidence on the doctor’s computer screen during a checkup—a 13-year period of intense denial followed, accompanied by anger at the parents and medical system that had made the decision and kept it secret. Several years ago, a specialist in Manchester finally gave the medical condition that plagued Sophie a name: cloacal exstrophy:

Cloacal exstrophy, also known as OEIS syndrome, is a rare birth condition which occurs in around 1 in 400,000 live births. It is a severe birth defect severely affecting the lower abdominal organs. The child can be born with their bladder and intestines on the outside of their body. The penis can also be either flat or split into two halves, which was the case with me.

In later years, as I began researching medical papers on my condition, I discovered that in the 1980s it was common practice for surgeons to reassign the gender of male babies born with cloacal exstrophy. In many cases, the penis and testes were removed and a pseudo vagina created in its place. Patients were often never formally told of their birth gender and were left to discover the information either by accident or never at all.

In 2021, Sophie experienced intense pain, with a fistula opening up near the genital area and leaking fluid and was admitted to the hospital. An attending surgeon, having discovered that Sophie had undergone a sex change at birth, stated that the reason for the emergency was “a failed pseudo vagina had been left in my abdomen from an earlier surgery.” When the surgeon who had performed the original sex change surgery was contacted, he confirmed that “a pseudo vagina… may have been put into my body when I was just two-days old.” This discovery was the last straw:

And that’s when a switch flipped in my brain—enough was enough. Not only had surgeons conducted unnecessary gender reassignment surgeries on my childhood body—I’d spent a whole lifetime without a vagina only to land in (the) hospital with sepsis caused by a failed fake vagina that I never knew existed.

If those birth surgeries were legitimately conducted to help me, then why would I be facing a critical illness due to a vagina a baby boy should never have had? What value could a pseudo vagina ever have been to a two-day-old baby? Was I part of a medical experiment?

Sophie’s search for answers were, initially, stonewalled. Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust claimed to have destroyed relevant medical records, and nobody wanted to respond to Sophie’s questions. A meeting with the original surgeon resulted in the doctor claiming that “he was just following the medical pathways for my condition defined at the time”… Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here

And while [the officer] remained calm and collected during his pleadings with the man, a stunning moment unfolded once the suicidal man was brought to safety…

[Faithwire.com] Dramatic bodycam footage showing a New York Police Department officer pleading with a man not to commit suicide shows the emotional toll cops often face in the field. (Screengrab image)

NYPD Officer Carl Fayette’s body camera captured his attempts alongside fellow Officer Eleodoro Mata Oct. 5 to very literally talk the man off the ledge.

“Police Officers Fayette and Mata responded to a suicidal male who wanted to jump from an overpass,” NYPD 26th Precinct wrote in an X post. “They spoke to the man with genuine empathy to let him know they cared and that help was available.”

Fortunately, the 40-minute quest succeeded, with the NYPD 26th Precinct thanking its officers for “amazing work” saving the man’s life.

Bodycam footage shows various moments from the nail-biting encounter on the bridge.

“I believe … you’re a good man,” Fayette told the man during the ordeal. “You’re a good man. I promise you, brother—I promise you we will do anything in our power to help you.”

The officer also said he, too, has been in the man’s shoes and knows how he feels.

“It’s not worth it,” Fayette said. “Life is beautiful.”

And while Fayette remained calm and collected during his pleadings with the man, a stunning moment unfolded once the suicidal man was brought to safety… Click Here to continue reading, and to watch the video report.
