WATCH OF THE BREAKER 2024! April 1-Passover for Israel and America. 

SUPPORT LAMPLIGHTER! Your offerings keep us blazing in Washington DC over this critical time. Please consider a generous contribution! https://jonandjolene.us/contribute-2/

DEAR FRIENDS,
RED ALERT. PRAY FOR ISRAEL & AMERICA as Shabbat descends upon the covenant land. Attacks from Iran are imminent, possibly within the next 24 hours according to news sources. Drone swarms and missile strikes are reported as likely. 

Please IMMEDIATELY PRAY for CENTCOM Gen. Erik Kurilla, now in Israel for coordination and collaboration. Pray for the holy intersection of courage and wisdom for Gen. Kurilla, Yoav Gallant, and members of both the Biden and Netanyahu administrations. Pray for their continued safety. Pray supernatural synergy. Pray for counsel from Heaven’s council. Pray for eyes that truly see—in other words accurate intelligence disconnected from any attached agendas!

In retaliation for last week’s takedown of high-level Iranian generals meeting in Damascus, Ayatollah Khamenei is said to  weighing a measured response. That would be wise on their behalf. Last year in Israel, I warned prophetically we were overdue in dealing with Iran’s ever-increasing nuclear capacities. A few days later that very warning was validated in the press. That said, any strike by Iran against Israel, America, and our assets could be taken as validation to finally deal with this threat. 

Again this is where extreme wisdom is needed. Thank you for interceding.

Coordinated Attacks Against Israel & America?
We are also encouraging our Lamplighter family and other prayer networks nationwide to immediately cover Washington DC and their respective states. Yesterday afternoon FBI Secretary Christopher Wray issued an unexpected warning about COORDINATED by jihadists. From Voice of America:

According to Secretary Wray, “Now increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia concert hall a couple weeks ago.”

Pray also for Speaker Mike Johnson as he meets with Donald Trump today at Mar a Lago. Just today he led the House in passing a revised FISA bill after adjusting the next deadline to two years from five, thereby ensuring the next president has the opportunity to significantly revise the program. 

Speaker Johnson was himself an opponent of FISA due to documented abuses. But he alleges that recent classified briefings brought clarity. He has recently set up a viewing room for fellow members to review classified documents. 

From an article from the Hill:

“When I was a member of Judiciary, I saw all of the abuses of the FBI — there were terrible abuses, over and over and over,” Johnson told reporters in the Capitol on Wednesday evening. 

“And then when I became Speaker, I went to the SCIF and got the confidential briefing from sort of the other perspective on that, to understand the necessity of Section 702 of FISA and how important it is for national security. And it gave me a different perspective,” he continued, using an abbreviation for sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF).  

“So I encourage all the members to go to the classified briefing and hear all that and see it so they can evaluate the situation for themselves. And I think some opinions have changed both ways, but that’s part of the process. You’ve got to be fully informed.”

Hostage Heartbreak
Let me close by sharing personal observations regarding recent Israeli strikes. Hamas leader Haniyeh actually praised Allah for allowing his sons, who were serving as operatives in the Gaza conflict, to be ‘martyred’ in the war, even as he was representing Hamas in the hostage negotiations. Isn’t that a little weird? 

Additionally it seemed very extreme for the IDF to strike right in the middle of delicate hostage negotiations. Especially as Netanyahu and Gallant were reportedly not briefed beforehand. 

Here’s a possible reason. At the time, a deal to exchange 40 Israeli hostages for 900 hardened Hamas jihadists held by Israel had been on the table. Shortly after the strike, news broke that US intelligence assessed Hamas had been unable to confirm even 40 hostages out of 160 missing were actually still alive. 

This heartbreaking news made clear the current hostage negotiations were a sham, and that Hamas brutality against the precious men, women and children held captive had already robbed an additional 120 hostages of their lives, their loved ones and from the nation they loved. 

I hope this adds clarity to possible reasons for the strike. Again it is purely speculation. Our hearts are weeping, our prayers are tears for the precious families who have lost their ones during these six horrific months of captivity. Please continue to pray for them.

And again, SHIELDS UP FOR ISRAEL & AMERICA. It’s now time to act.
