Watching & Praying: February Week 2

6th Week of 2025

Hi everyone. Thank you so very much for joining us in this journey.

First of all, let us take a moment to thank God for the victory He gave us in this past elections. Like we all know, the election was a pretty unstable time, yet the Lord granted us the victory.

In this second week of February, we celebrated historic wins in holding bureaucracies accountable. We also had some news from our brothers/Sisters in Israel, Canada and other nations.:

- USAID dismantled: Over $300 million in taxpayer funds were funneled to Hamas-linked projects, Soros-aligned NGOs, and radical media outlets like Politico and Reuters.

- Elon Musk's DOGE initiative expanded to audit the Pentagon and Department of Education, exposing waste and fraud.

- Sanctuary cities cracked down: ICE raids in Denver and Aurora targeted Venezuelan gangs like Tren de Aragua, with AG Pam Bondi vowing consequences for leaks.

Personal Testimony & Closing Prayer

This week, I experienced God's healing power firsthand after tooth pain disrupted my sleep. Through prayer and practical wisdom (garlic remedy!), I'm restored to serve you. Let's remember: "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).

Final Prayer:

Father, we thank You for victories in accountability, cultural renewal, and global justice. Strengthen Your people to stand firm in truth, compassion, and boldness. Silence every voice of chaos, and let Your Kingdom come in our families, cities, and nations. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Stay vigilant. Keep praying. Never retreat.

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness" (Ephesians 6:12).
