Dear Friends,
Charles Spurgeon once said, “If a person should ask for an audience with royalty and then say, ‘I don’t know why I have come, or that I have anything In particular to ask,’ would he not be guilty of folly? As for our great King, when we venture into His presence, let us have a purpose there. Let us beware of playing at praying.”
1. XI, PUTIN MEET IN MOSCOW: Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian leader Vladimir Putin met for a 4 and 1/2 hour summit in Moscow. Their meeting followed a recent Saudi-Iran peace deal brokered by China. While Xi and Putin met directly before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 to announce a “no limits” partnership, The Washington Post notes this visit “signaled a deepening alliance.”
Xi said China and Russia are prepared “to stand guard over the world order based on international law.” The two countries signed a significant economic agreement and discussed using the Chinese yuan to facilitate trade between countries.
Before bidding farewell, Xi told Putin, “Change is coming that hasn’t happened in 100 years. And we are driving this change together.” Xi added, “Please, take care, dear friend,” while Putin told Xi to have a “safe journey.”
Ed. Note: America’s enemies are drawing alarmingly closer together, and Communist China is the most dangerous of them all. China expert Gordon Chang warns, “Xi Jinping appointed what is now known as his ‘war cabinet’ in October, at the Communist Party’s 20th National Congress; he is implementing the largest military buildup since the Second World War; he has been trying to sanctions-proof his regime; and he is mobilizing the civilian population for war.”
2. WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRUMP INDICTMENT: Leftists were salivating over the possibility of a politically-motivated Trump indictment brought on by Soros-funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. A Wednesday grand jury session was canceled following testimony from Attorney Robert Costello charging that Bragg was hiding hundreds of pages of documents that would exonerate Trump.
Conservative Mike Cernovich, a strong DeSantis supporter, said DeSantis “missed his moment” after the Governor failed to stand more firmly with Trump. The American Thinker notes a more fundamental point in the Trump-DeSantis feud, “An arrest or not, many patriots respect both Trump and DeSantis and would gladly vote for either man. But they also think that without election integrity, it does not matter whom the Republican party nominates for president. They believe Democrats plan to steal the 2024 presidential election just as they did in 2020. And through it all, they are convinced that the UniParty GOP will have done little to nothing before, during, or after.”
3. CBDC DEVELOPMENT ACCELERATES: On March 15, The Federal Reserve announced its FedNow service will launch in July, and will “enable all the banks…to offer instantly available funds in real-time payments to their customers.” The same day, The World Economic Forum asked, “could we be seeing the end of cash?” and declared, “Central bank digital currency (CBDC) is inevitable, with 90% of central banks developing one and the percentage of countries developing or piloting a CBDC having doubled in one year.”
Last year, financial advisor Joe Brown warned that FedNow “transforms the purpose of the entire banking system really into infrastructure for the CBDC,” making it easier to fully roll out a CBDC in the near future. Professor Daniel Lacelle rightly calls CBDCs “surveillance disguised as money” and warns they would obliterate the private sector and create “hyperinflation and full government control and financial repression.”
Ed. Note: Mac Slavo writes, “There has been some speculation that the banks’ collapse was a preplanned problem that will produce a fear-based reaction in the public, so that the masters can usher in their preplanned solution, or the CBDC.”
4. BANKING CRISIS EXTENDS: USA Today reports, “186 more banks are at risk of failure even if only half of their depositors decide to withdraw their funds, a new study has found.” Swiss bank Credit Suisse was acquired by USB in a nearly $3.2 billion “emergency rescue,” a sign that American banking instability has spread to Europe. Another European banking giant, Deutsche Bank, is at risk. Michael Snyder asks if the Federal Reserve is “trying to crash the economy on purpose,” after the Fed raised interest rates by .25%.
Ignoring banking collapse and soaring inflation, Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed, “We do not see a recession or pre-recession. We see a strong economy, and it’s because of the work that this president has done.” Likewise, the Federal Reserve claims the banking system “is sound and resilient.”
5. WILL BANKS BE NATIONALIZED? In a telling exchange, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted to Senator James Lankford (R-OK) that small banks would not be bailed out in coming bank crises, but large banks will. Hedge fund manager Peter Schiff commented, “[Biden’s] implicit guarantee only applies to the banks they like. The ones they deem systemically important, too big to fail. The government created a run on all the smaller regional banks.” AM Greatness warns the end goal is to essentially nationalize “the entire banking system.”
6. INFLATION LIKELY ONLY BEGINNING: Swiss asset manager Egon Von Greyerz warns, “We will in coming months and years see the most massive avalanche of money printing that has ever hit the world…What we are witnessing is not just a temporary drama that will be sorted out by “the all powerful and resourceful” central banks. Likewise, Economist Peter St. Onge predicts, “I’d expect trillions of dollars in bailouts, driving inflation back towards last year’s highs, perhaps even into double digits. This while the economy careens into recession, indeed into stagflation. The Fed will abandon the inflation fight it started, opting instead to bailout the bankers whom it serves. And We the People, as always, will pay the tab…”
7. THUNBERG AWARDED DOCTORATE IN THEOLOGY, CLIMATE CHANGE IS A RELIGION: The University of Helsinki awarded climate activist Greta Thunberg an honorary doctorate, not in “climate science” or “atmospheric studies”…but in theology. David Strom rightly concludes, “Climate Change is a religion. We all know that.” In 2018, Greta falsely warned humanity would go extinct in 5 years unless the world stopped using fossil fuels.
In related news, Socialist UN head Antonio Guterres responded to the United Nations’ latest fear-mongering climate report saying that every country “must massively fast-track climate efforts” because the “climate time-bomb is ticking.” In a nod to the UN’s “Sustainable Development” goals, Biden announced he would “preserve” more than 500,000 square miles in Texas and Nevada as national monuments and 777,000 square miles in the Pacific Ocean as a national marine sanctuary. Both of these moves advance Biden’s pledge to “protect” 30% of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.
Ed. Note: The climate “crisis” is about control, climate lockdowns, and restrictive “15-minute” cities.
8. GENDER IDEOLOGY IN THE CULTURE AND CHURCH: Christian theology lecturer Dr. Aaron Edwards was fired from a Methodist College in the U.K. for tweeting that “homosexuality is invading the church.” Canadian Pastor Derek Reimer was arrested a second time for protesting a drag queen story hour at a public library. By contrast, San Diego Pastor Pat Gray blasphemously claimed, “Drag is holy” and “Jesus was, and humanity is, God in drag.”
USA Today honored Leigh Finke, a male who pretends to be a woman, as its Woman of the Year for the state of Minnesota. The Biden Administration is targeting the majority-Christian nation of Uganda for imposing strict penalties for homosexuality with new legislation, calling “LGBTQ+ rights” a “core part of [U.S.] foreign policy.”
Incredibly, prominent atheist biologist Richard Dawkins and Harry Potter novelist JK Rowling possess more common sense and courage than many so-called Christians. Dawkins said, “As a biologist, there are two sexes, and that’s all there is to it.” Rowling declared, “I believe absolutely that there is something dangerous about this movement, and it must be challenged.”
9. ISLAMIZATION OF EUROPE PROCEEDS: During the Islamic holiday of Ramadan, Germany erected the nation’s first street sign in Arabic in the town of Düsseldorf, with leftist politicians calling it “a symbolic expression of social inclusion.” For the first time, London’s Coventry Street is decorated with crescent moons and the message “Happy Ramadan.” (14% of London’s population is Muslim.) In the United States, Massachusetts is considering a bill that would promote Islam under the banner of “Diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Ed. Note: Historian William Federer has warned, “An automobile shifts from DRIVE into NEUTRAL before it can shift into REVERSE. In the same way, Western Civilization has shifted from a Judeo-Christian PAST to a Secular-Atheist-LGBT PRESENT before it can shift to a Fundamental Islam FUTURE.”
10. ANATOMY OF THE CENSORSHIP/INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX: In the latest release to “The Twitter Files,” Journalist Matt Taibbi revealed that Stanford University colluded with government and social media companies to censor “[t]rue content which might promote vaccine hesitancy.” Billionaire Craigslist founder Craig Newmark is “the nation’s leading financier of the ‘mis’- and ‘disinformation’ industries and is now the largest private stakeholder in America’s legacy journalism schools,” reports The Federalist.
The Federalist also reports, “Our government is preparing to monitor every word Americans say on the internet—the speech of journalists, politicians, religious organizations, advocacy groups, and even private citizens. Should those conversations conflict with the government’s viewpoint about what is in the best interests of our country and her citizens, that speech will be silenced.”
11. BOB FU COMPARES COVID LOCKDOWNS TO CHINESE COMMUNIST PERSECUTION: Bob Fu of ChinaAid remarked, “It is very shocking and horrible to see American society’s transformation evolving from its constitutional basis. I saw the governor of California basically proscribe and order the church to shut down and say not only when they can worship, but how. The ways that he threatened to punish those churches and pastors sometimes were word-for-word exactly the same as what the Chinese Communist Party is using against the Chinese churches.”
12. CDC AND PFIZER COVERED UP COVID VACCINE LINKS TO MYOCARDITIS: Documents obtained by The Children’s Health Defense and Project Veritas reveal that the CDC and Pfizer withheld information proving the Covid vaccines were causing myocarditis. Pfizer’s own document stated, “There is evidence that suggests patients who receive a COVID-19 vaccine are at an increased risk of myocarditis.”
At a recent press conference, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo said, “People believe that what is happening isn’t actually happening. These vaccines have a terrible safety profile… I’m not sure anyone should be taking them…”

13. ARE AIRLINES BECOMING MORE UNSAFE? The mother of teenager Kevin Greenridge is suing Americans Airlines after her son suffered cardiac arrest and died aboard a flight because the plane’s automatic external defibrillator (AED) was not charged. A Southwest Airlines pilot became “incapacitated” during a recent flight and was unable to fly. Thankfully, an off-duty pilot was aboard and was able to safely land the plane. Josh Yoder of Freedom Flyers tweeted, “This is now the fifth pilot incapacitation that I’m aware of in the past two weeks.”

FAITH, FAMILY, & FREEDOM REPORT
1. FREEDOM WINS BIG IN NETHERLANDS: In a major win for Dutch farmers, the BoerBurgerBeweging (BBB) party garnered the majority of power in the Dutch upper chamber. Leader Caroline van der Plas tweeted, “The turnaround has started. The voters have spoken and have denounced support of this government.” Weeks of protests have exposed globalist intentions, and freedom was top of mind for voters during the election.
2. WYOMING SAVES LIVES: Wyoming became the first state in the nation to ban abortion “Kill Pill,” thus protecting most unborn babies in the state. State Senator Tim Salazar (R), sponsor of the bill, noted, “By passing this legislation, Wyoming made a clear statement that we wish to protect the unborn and women from these dangerous drugs that are used in the taking of an unborn child’s life through abortion.”
3. UTAH TO BAN ABORTION FACILITIES: The State of Utah will ban abortion facilities in the state beginning January 1, 2024. H.B 467, signed into law by Governor Spencer Cox (R), requires abortion facilities to adhere to the same quality control measures as hospitals, a move that Planned Parenthood admitted will make it impossible for them to operate. The new bill also bans abortion pills from being shipped into the state. While abortion is not illegal in Utah, great strides continue to be made in the pro-life movement.
4. DESANTIS FIGHTS DIGITAL CURRENCY: Florida Governor Ron Desantis released a plan to counter Central Bank Digital Currencies, and to “protect Florida consumers and businesses from the reckless adoption of a ‘centralized digital dollar’ which will stifle innovation and promote government-sanctioned surveillance.” Central Bank Digital Currency has been used experimentally in other countries and has recently made headway in the U.S.
5. BILL INTRODUCED TO BAN CBDC: Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) sponsored a bill that would stop the Biden Administration from establishing a Central Bank Digital Currency. Cruz affirmed the bill “goes a long way in making sure big government doesn’t attempt to centralize or control cryptocurrency and instead, allows it to thrive in the United States. We should be empowering entrepreneurs, enabling innovation, and increasing individual freedom, not stifling it.” Cruz joins the growing number of opposing voices against CBDC.
6. MORE STATES LEAVE ERIC: As Election integrity efforts accelerate, Ohio and Iowa have withdrawn from the leftist voter-roll organization ERIC. Ohio Secretary of State Frank Derose explained, “ERIC has chosen repeatedly to ignore demands to embrace reforms that would bolster confidence in its performance, encourage growth in its membership, and ensure not only its present stability but also its durability.” Seven states have now left the organization, and more could soon follow.
7. TRUTH (AND MAYBE JUSTICE) IN ARIZONA: According to a new Rasmussen survey, 51% of Arizona voters voted for Kari Lake in the 2022 gubernatorial election, compared to only 43% for Katie Hobbs. Lake scored a victory at the Arizona Supreme Court after the court ruled that a trial court must examine if Maricopa County followed the law regarding signature verification during the election. Lake responded, “The signature verification process in Maricopa County is a house of cards. Thanks to this ruling, my team will get the chance to topple it.”
8. LEE COUNTY BANS ELECTRONIC VOTING: Lee County, Florida, voted to eradicate electronic voting in the county, opting instead for paper ballots. Lee County has been at the forefront of the election integrity fight, lobbying heavily for the state to end its affiliation with ERIC, which came to fruition in recent weeks. The Resolution for Election Vote Accuracy was passed with tremendous support and will now be the new standard for voting in the county.
9. TRUMP RELEASES PLAN TO FIGHT DEEP STATE: Donald Trump released a ten-point plan he claims he will use to take on the Deep State. Pledges in the plan include term limits on Congress, reforming FISA, cleaning out Federal Bureaus, punishing government leakers, and forbidding bureaucrats from working with companies they regulate. Trump stated, “This is how I will shatter the Deep State and restore government that is controlled by the people and for the people.”
10. MISSOURI PROTECTS MINORS: Missouri AG Andrew Bailey announced an emergency declaration to protect minors from the many harmful gender treatments he calls “inhumane science experiments.” Bailey announced, “As attorney general, I will protect children and enforce the laws as written, which includes upholding state law on experimental gender transition interventions. I am dedicated to using every legal tool at my disposal to stand in the gap and protect children.”
11. KENTUCKY STANDS WITH PARENTS: The Kentucky Legislature has passed a bill that protects minors from gender-altering surgeries and upholds parental rights. SB 150 was passed with overwhelming support and now heads to the governor’s desk. The bill gives parents the right to “make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of the student.” Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is the first Democrat governor facing a bill of this sort.
12. WYOMING AND ARKANSAS PROTECT GIRLS’ SPORTS: Wyoming has moved to protect girls’ sports by banning biological males from competing in female sports. Wyoming is now the nineteenth state to have passed such laws, joining other states, including Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) also signed a bill which bans males from entering female bathrooms.
13. UGANDA UPHOLDS BIBLICAL GENDER: The parliament of the Christian-majority nation of Uganda unanimously passed the “Anti-Homosexuality Bill” criminalizing perverse lifestyles. Musa Ecweru, Uganda’s Minister for Works, said, “In our country, we will have our morals. We will protect our children. We are making this law for ourselves. We are making this law for our children. We are making this law for the children of our children. This country will stand firm… homosexuals have no space in Uganda.”
14. HOCKEY PLAYERS STAND ON CONVICTIONS: The NHL’s San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer refused to wear LGBTQ attire in a recent hockey game, stating, “I am choosing not to endorse something that is counter to my personal convictions which are based on the Bible, the highest authority in my life.” Reimer’s stand follows that of Ivan Provorov of the Philadelphia Flyers, who refused to participate in the promotion of the LGBTQ agenda during a January game.
HYMN OF THE WEEK
‘Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer by Fanny Crosby
’Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when our hearts lowly bend,
And we gather to Jesus, our Savior and friend.
If we come to Him in faith, His protection to share,
What a balm for the weary! Oh, how sweet to be there!
Blessed hour of prayer, blessed hour of prayer!
What a balm for the weary! Oh, how sweet to be there!
’Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the Savior draws near,
With a tender compassion His children to hear!
When He tells us we may cast at His feet every care,
What a balm for the weary! Oh, how sweet to be there!
’Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the tempted and tried
To the Savior who loves them their sorrow confide!
With a sympathizing heart He removes every care;
What a balm for the weary! Oh, how sweet to be there!
At the blessed hour of prayer, trusting Him, we believe
That the blessing we’re needing we’ll surely receive!
In the fullness of the trust we shall lose every care:
What a balm for the weary! Oh, how sweet to be there!
Blessed hour of prayer, blessed hour of prayer!
What a balm for the weary! Oh, how sweet to be there!
