The TOP of the STACK:
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents in Los Angeles on Friday in connection with his presence at a Jan. 18 protest that disrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lemon livestreamed the event and was seen on video engaging with participants and congregants. He was charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and with a violation of the FACE act, interfering by force of someone’s First Amendment right to worship freely and without intimidation.
FBI agents executed a sealed court-authorized search warrant issued by a magistrate judge on Wednesday at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in Union City, GA. Officials seized ballots, voting machine records, and other materials tied to the 2020 presidential election. Tulsi Gabbard was on the ground during the operation due to her role as Director of National Intelligence, which includes safeguarding the security of U.S. elections against threats to voting systems, databases, and related infrastructure. The operation came amid broader legal activity involving Georgia election records. The Department of Justice last month filed a lawsuit seeking federal court orders to access certain 2020 election documents that local officials had not turned over in response to subpoenas.
The House of Representatives will be voting next Wednesday on whether to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt over their refusal to testify about their relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Rules Committee will meet at 4 p.m. Monday to consider the resolutions for the floor. Last week, the House Oversight Committee voted to advance the resolutions, with nine Democrats joining all Republicans in voting in favor after the Clintons announced they would defy a subpoena. If the House approves the contempt resolutions, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said the matter would be referred to the DOJ.
After his stint as Deputy Director of the FBI, popular media personality Dan Bongino will be returning to podcasting this coming Monday, February 2nd. Fans and faithful listeners are excited to welcome Bongino back, eager to hear his unique insight and his trusted take on the state of the country. And I think Dan has missed his audience as much as it’s missed him…

Today’s Lesson:
You’ve probably noticed by now that, every time the current administration attempts to do anything, leftist opposition cries “foul.” They try to make whatever Trump is doing seem like something awful, and they usually make some bogus claim that it’s unconstitutional and illegal somehow. They’ll even go so far as to have a liberal nit-wit judge make some grandiose decree to stop the president from using his own executive powers – powers that are granted to him by the Constitution itself as the only person elected by the nation as a whole. This is an attempt not only to deny presidential authority, but also to deny the will of the people who elected him to do certain things.
Example: Trump’s critics claim that deploying National Guard and regular U.S. military forces to enforce the law in American cities violates civil–military norms, is unconstitutional, and is an irresponsible use of the professional military. But while there may be good reasons to limit the use of the U.S. military in domestic affairs, U.S. troops have been so employed since the beginning of our republic. The authority of the president to use force in response to domestic disorder arises from the Constitution itself. Section 4 of Article IV reads:
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”
In fact, the fundamental purpose of a republican government is to protect its citizens’ rights to life, liberty, and property. Although the First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” it does not protect rioting, arson, and looting. Furthermore, under Article II of the Constitution, the president, as “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States”—and of the militia when under federal control—has the authority to act against enemies both foreign and domestic. But that doesn’t stop Trump’s political opposition from trying to block him at every turn.
This is very much analogous to the power struggle we often experience as Christians. We are battling against a spiritual enemy who knows and understands the power we rightfully have in Christ, but they still try to rob us of it. The enemy will try to fool you into believing you have no power, but your real challenge is learning to effectively use the great power you DO have in God. Just like we must study and educate ourselves regarding political powers and who can actually do what, we also have to study the Word of God to learn and understand the true power and authority we have through Jesus.
Luke 9:1
When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases…
Luke 10:19 (Jesus said)
“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”
Luke 24:49 (about the promise of the Holy Spirit, Jesus said)
“I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
Acts 1:8 (Jesus again says)
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 4:33 talks about the great power the apostles had as they testified to the resurrection of Jesus. Acts 6 talks about the power that Stephen had, how he did great wonders and signs among the people. Verse after verse, the Bible tells of the power WE HAVE in Christ through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us, and it makes every demonic imp of hell tremble in fear. We only need to understand that power, acknowledge from where it comes, and boldly use it in the name of Jesus.
We can face any challenge, defeat any foe, and even tear down the gates of hell with this power. We are called to do this. To go into the enemy’s camp and take back what he has stolen from us. The enemy’s only hope is to fool us into thinking we are powerless. If satan can make you believe lies, doubt the truth, and then fill you with fear, he’s got you defeated.
But remember, fear is a liar. If someone is selling you fear, they’re selling you lies so they can control you. We see this happening all around us today – the propaganda machine that keeps trying to sell us things like global warming hysteria, pandemic scares, and the lie that ICE is really Trump’s modern Gestapo out to harm innocent people. It’s crazy nonsense, but it works on people who don’t fully comprehend the power struggle that’s really going on.
This isn’t a struggle between left and right, republican and democrat, black and white, cats and dogs, or meat-eaters and vegetarians. It’s a struggle between good and evil. How do you tell the difference? Good tells you the hard truths while evil smoothly tells you everything you want to hear. Good promotes right living while evil says do whatever you want. And good gives you hope while evil only offers you fear. Remember…
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
So when you are hearing a politician or media pundit or whomever and they’re making you feel fearful of something, afraid of some other person or circumstance, chances are they’re lying to you. They use fear to control your thinking, alter your beliefs, and mislead you. That’s not from God. It’s not what He wants for you. He wants to give you power, love, and peace of mind.
Seek out the power the Holy Spirit provides. This is the power that rightfully belongs to us as followers of Jesus. It’s what makes the demons scurry away. And so satan doesn’t want you to even know about it. But it’s yours. Don’t let the enemy’s lies convince you otherwise. When hell says, “you can’t do that,” boldly proclaim the authority of Christ and answer, “Oh yes I can!”
