Trump Declares Plan to Rededicate America as 'One Nation Under God' for 250th Anniversary
Trump Declares Plan to Rededicate America as 'One Nation Under God' for 250th Anniversary
BENJAMIN GILL 02.05.26
President Trump declared his intent to rededicate America to God during this 250th anniversary year of our country's founding. He made the announcement during the National Prayer Breakfast this morning.
During his speech at today's event, he opened up once again about his previous comments on not being sure if he could make it into heaven. "I was being funny. You know you can't be sarcastic with them," he said, referring to the news media.
"I said, 'I'm never going to make it to heaven. I just don't think I qualify.' I don't think there's a thing I can do with all of these good things I'm doing, including for religion," he recalled. "But I said, even though I did that, and so many other things... I said, 'I won't qualify, I'm not going to make it into heaven.'"
He said the New York Times then reported that he was questioning the meaning of his life. "No," he said today. "I was just having fun. I really think I probably should make it."
Later, he moved on to discuss his plans to "rededicate America as one nation under God" during this historic year. A sacred prayer ceremony will be held on the National Mall on May 17th.
"We're inviting Americans from all across the country to come together on our National Mall to pray, to give thanks and... we are going to rededicate America as one nation under God," Trump said.

"Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved." Acts 2:46-47, NASB

The red heifers. In Ancient Shiloh, Samaria, Israel. Come see. Preparation for the Third Temple
As we started our walking tour, in ancient Shiloh, we were met by a man who seemed to be just leaving. Larry Borntrager, Amish-Mennonite man from Indiana, USA, looked like a farmhand who had just walked out of a barn. At first I paid little attention, having come to see the first tabernacle of the Israelites here in Israel. And having grown up in Iowa, with a few uncles having cattle on their farms, it was no big deal. Then he started talking about the red heifers…and the excitement rose up within me!

him busy. He had recently showed the cattle to USA Ambassador Mike Huckabee a few weeks ago. The “1000 Pastors Tour” from the USA, also a few weeks ago, saw the video and then through a large window were shown them. Larry’s said his last name, Borntrager, means “water carrier” in German. He spoke to us two of his favorite sayings. “Don’t miss God’s move because He didn’t move it right.” (Meaning, His ways are not our ways.) “Don’t end up at the bus station when you should have been at the train.” Lord, thank You for Larry and his care for these special beasts. Oh yes. The cows names in Hebrew : Geula (redemption), Tikva (hope), Techiya (life-giving) and Nechama (comfort). Segula (virtue) was among the original five.

Kim Clement, Lance Wallnau, “Turning Point” in America?
A “turning point” in America? This was broadcast on Lance Wallnau’s show in September 2025. Interesting to be sure.
We must keep going to the places the enemy thinks he has taken over.

INTRODUCTION
From Oct. 16, 2025, to Jan. 12, 2026, my good wife Laurie (48 years of marriage and counting) and I had the most incredible time in Jerusalem and many parts of Israel. We had come to serve with Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem, as needed.
As I sit on the back veranda of the apartment they provided for us, I watch the sun rise over the southeast as another of His glorious days begins. My heart is full of the love of Yeshua (Jesus) for this, His chosen city, His chosen Land, and His chosen people, the Jews.
We came to bring comfort to His people coming out from a heartbreaking war on the eight fronts the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were fighting, after the horrendous, murderous, home destruction years since October 7, 2023. The Israelis had been fighting for their lives, their families, their land promised to them by the Living God of Israel. We hoped to bring His love to them as Christians, standing on His Word.
God the Father did not fail them. In so many miraculous ways, He protected them, united them, and caused them to cry out to Him for His salvation.
Over 1200 Jewish civilians were lost that day. Over 1000 young men, women, and reserves have since been lost, destroyed by the enemy who seems never to go away.
“We just want peace,” is the cry of our friends’ hearts here in Jerusalem and the surrounding hills.
But, when the Messiah Yeshua returns to this very city, Jerusalem, they will know Him as their Peace King, their Shalom Most High.
Come Jesus! Bo Yeshua!
As that time of His return quickly approaches, we joined with several hundred Christians, coming from the nations, to comfort, stand in support, and let the love of the Father work through us for them.
In this, my 40th book, written during my 30th trip to Israel since the late 1990s, I share some of my stories. Some chapters are in the “present tense” because I wrote them at the time they occurred.
Many Jews are returning to their Land now, as prophesied centuries ago by Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Yeshua Himself. Christians are going to Israel to comfort and support them in their return.
And then Jesus (Yeshua) will return as the King of kings and Lord of lords.
I desire that the Lord Himself will touch your heart, and you, too, will join Him in this glorious work, to see His salvation come to the Jews and Arabs of Israel.
Ahava and shalom,

"Clean Heart" by Steve Martin (text only)
Painting by Greg Olsen
Clean Heart
“Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10, NASB
While trying to listen to the Word of the Holy Spirit as to what to write, I heard a few words. Not being sure as to which one to focus on, I thought, “Well, let’s make this a 'mishmash' message, or 'mixed bag' as another way to put it. And so, I shall.
The first word I want to consider is contentious. Have you ever spoken something, only to have another respond and say the opposite, or negatively, as if that were their mission in life: to be contentious?
If you observe and listen to some, they seem to carry in their spirit this counteraction to anything positive, to make sure one sees the “other side”. But is that always necessary? Do we always have to point out what the “what ifs” will be, and just go with a faith response, such as, “I hope that comes true”, or “Lord, Your will be done. Show me the good in this.”
Have we become so ingrained in negativity that we can’t see the Lord’s hand in everything?
At one time, we used to hear the saying, “So heavenly-minded that they are no earthly good.” I want to offer – maybe that is not so bad after all? To imagine the way the Lord would see things from His vantage point, certainly having a higher vision which is so much more vast than ours. And then try to imitate Him.
Think about it, and yes, try it sometime. When someone offers a point of view, try giving a positive or encouraging response, and avoid negativity. Maybe your needed attitude adjustment will get adjusted. I pray it be so.
And then that word which rises up in me sometimes. Jealousy.
As I again read the Scriptures about the prodigal son, found in Luke 15, personally, I still have to agree with the older son and ask, “Why not me?” (Just being honest here.)
We read of the elder son’s response, “But he answered and said to his father, ‘Look! For so many years I have been serving you, and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you never gave me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends; but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you slaughtered the fattened calf for him.” Luke 15:29-30, NASB
Of course, the father was right when he wanted to rejoice and give a party for the prodigal, repentant younger one, but I tend to agree with the elder. Or is it jealousy on my part? Would you have reacted the same way? Be honest.
I am still praying about my attitude regarding this story.
So, these are two words the Lord is working in my heart. I want to be more like Him and have a clean heart.
“Be gracious to me, God, according to Your faithfulness; according to the greatness of Your compassion, wipe out my wrongdoings. Wash me thoroughly from my guilt and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my wrongdoings, and my sin is constantly before me.” Psalm 51:1-3, NASB
Ahava and shalom,
Steve Martin
