| | "I will praise You, oh Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works." - Psalm 9:1 1. California officials are preparing to pay out $1.4 million to four churches for their attorney's fees after attempting to force them to provide abortion health care coverage for their employees. Two federal courts in California have ruled that the First Amendment protects the churches’ right to decline elective abortion coverage in their health insurance plans. "Thank You Lord for this victory! Please abundantly bless the churches who refused to bow down to the spirit of Molech and man's wicked attempted rules."

| | PRAYER FOCUSES 1. PREGNANT WOMEN to be made aware of the help and support offered to them so they will not have an abortion! A recent survey shows that 60% of women would not kill their baby if they had emotional and financial support. Majority Of Women Say More Emotional, Financial Support Would Have Stopped Them From Having An Abortion: POLL (msn.com) 2. PRAY for chemical abortion pills to be banned and join the 72 hour Prayer Strike happening now! Besides killing a baby in the womb, women are sharing unexpected, horrible, painful, disastrous results from taking the pill! On May 17, the Fifth Circuit of Appeals Court located at 600 Camp St. New Orleans, LA, will hear Oral Argument in the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine vs. FDA (abortion pill case) at 1:00pm. The Argument will last for 80 minutes on this very important case. On Friday, April 21, the Supreme Court upheld the status quo allowing chemical abortion distribution to continue. They did not write an opinion, so there is not much guidance, but the status quo was preserved while the case against the chemical abortion pill is on appeal. The Court "stayed" or stopped the rulings of the courts below that would have limited or banned chemical abortion pill distribution throughout America. But that could still happen. The Justice Foundation has filed two briefs already, we will now file a third at The Fifth Circuit on behalf of Women Injured by Abortion and The Moral Outcry Petition with all your signatures. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has set the case for Oral Argument on May 17 at 1pm. So far, these decisions have been very preliminary rulings. The best chance for a well-considered, well-written substantial victory will be at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Court will hear the Oral Argument tomorrow/ Wednesday, and then within a couple of weeks probably, will write a lengthy opinion explaining their decision. The above information is for our beloved Pro-Life covering Attorney Allan Parker, President of The Justice Foundation. Beginning last night (Monday) at 10pm Pacific and continuing for 72 hours 24/7 is a Prayer Strike. Please read the attached 72 Hour Prayer Strike attachment and join others on the call whenever you can in the next couple days...it is vitally important for unborn babies and their mothers! |

| | 3. PLEASE PRAY for one another. Many are being attacked physically, emotionally, relationship-wise, financially. Demonic-led people continue to harass and try to discourage and destroy God's people. Please pray for health, a hedge of protection, increased wisdom, divine discernment, revelation, and God's Favor upon one another. Declare Isaiah 54:17 and Psalm 91. |

| | MILLIONS of Christians, and probably many of you, are praying for Israel during the Isaiah 62 Fast. It continues until May 28th. Check it out: Isaiah 62 Fast – A Global Solemn Assembly Hear what our beloved Messianic Jewish Sister Carolyn Hyde from the Galilee (a worship leader and speaker at last year's Pray California Conference) shares about the Isaiah Fast: https://youtu.be/AG30GY7IM4U It is truly amazing how effective the fervent prayers of the Saints are; the LORD is moving on your/our prayers! Consider this: In six days, there were approximately 1,234 rockets shot from Gaza toward Israel with (sadly) two in Israel killed...many rockets did not make it over the border, many were missed shots, 94% were shot down by the Iron Dome and another recent defense weapon.
From Israel into Gaza, rockets killed six top military leaders. They were careful not to aim at innocent citizens...
There has been an agreement to 'stop' the war between the two nations now.
Our Beloved Messianic Jewish Missionary Pray California Partner Natalia living in Jerusalem advised "the war is never over...this is merely a ceasefire until next time." She continued "It will be interesting to see what happens on Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day), May 19th." There are terrorist threats against the Flag Day March that celebrates when Israel regainsof control over the city in 1967. Jerusalem Day Flag March to go ahead as usual, Netanyahu promises - Israel News - The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com) We continue to PRAY for the protection of the Holy Land where our Savior and King shall return, and for the peace of Jerusalem. - Psalm 122:6-8 |

| | | | | Praise: Thank you, Lord, for bringing the body of Christ together to declare the Gospel to the people. Thank you, Lord, for the abundance of rain that has kept our land green.
Prayer points: God's people would not neglect nor rebuke the children but share the Gospel with them. Government leaders would manage resources wisely.
"But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” - Matthew 13:23 |
