Biden’s decision to drain our emergency oil supply was bad enough, but now the war in Israel is making the situation even worse.

From Fox News. President Biden’s decision to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to its lowest level in decades is back in the spotlight amid the war between Israel and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, which has caused oil prices to surge.

On Monday, the Brent crude index, the worldwide oil benchmark, and the U.S. WTI index both surged more than 4% and inched closer to $90 a barrel as a result of volatility created by the Middle East crisis. …

“If the conflict envelopes Iran … up to 3% of global oil supply is at risk. And if a wider conflict eventuates that ends up impacting transit through the Strait of Hormuz, around 20% of global oil supply could be held hostage,” energy analyst Saul Kavonic said in an interview with Reuters. …

However, the Biden administration has depleted the SPR, which contains an emergency oil supply and was established for emergency scenarios, to its lowest level in four decades. The SPR currently contains 351.3 million barrels of oil, 44% lower than it was in January 2021 when Biden took office and a level last recorded in September 1983 prior to this year.

Since taking office, Biden has ordered the Department of Energy to release a total of about 260 million barrels of oil stored in the SPR to combat high fuel prices that hit consumers in late 2021 and mid 2022. While the administration has recently initiated the process of refilling the emergency reserve, Republican lawmakers and energy experts have warned its actions make the U.S. vulnerable to short-term supply shocks.

“There are a lot of reasons why the Biden administration should not have used the SPR to try to bring down prices — one of which is that the SPR then isn’t available if something serious happens. We’re facing that right now,” Ben Lieberman, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told Fox News Digital in an interview. …

Info: Our oil was protected under Donald J. Trump because of His flair with business”Donald Trump, with characteristic flair, modulated this to “energy dominance.”) If the U.S. produced its own fossil fuels, the thinking went, then it would be protected from faraway wars and crises. Perhaps it could even abandon its costly military bases in the Middle East. “ Since 2018, the United States has been the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas. On paper, “we are energy independent,” John Hess, the CEO of Hess, said yesterday at CERAWeek, the energy industry’s annual conference. But what a funny kind of independence it is.“ What happened is: Biden in WH! He stopped all oil producing and now has the oil reserve in a serious level. His New Green Deal and shutting off our oil supply has put us in critical danger, if we have an emergency. His push for all High Priced Electric Cars has not been a good solution to try and place these cars and take away our gas driven cars. Not everyone likes electric cars and there is no solid proof that gas is bad as they say. Proven evidence! “It’s worth adding, too, that the climate consequences of increasing domestic oil production are not as bad as those from other forms of fossil-fuel production. One of the benefits of fracking is that it is “short-cycle production,” in industry parlance:” This administration has not worked together in Unity, they have worked in Control, Dictating their control not the people who should be considered. Their personal agenda not Americas future. “Energy independence was not an awful goal. But true independence cannot be achieved by the market alone. The U.S. ensures that its food supply, timberlands, and water quality are not administered solely by the market..” This administration would not listen, nor did they ever plan to work for America. There are two major resources that apply and that is natural resource fossils fuel and climate. This administration has blamed any and all things that are hurting our climate but most is not proven, it’s like jumping in a hot vat of water to see if it will burn you. I truly believe with better regulations to regulate fumes that the oil will not harm our planet like they shout out. God made oil, He made water, He made seeds for food etc. We must be better care takers of our America and protect it with a more aggressive awareness. It’s not about Life with this administration it’s about control and them wanting just them to exist in Life. It makes no difference to them what we know or think they discard any and all information from us. God says in the Bible – Ephesians-4:18” They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.“ We have prayed, and prayed many prayers, been patient, tried to work in unity but to no avail! “Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.”Yes, that is the position we are in and without oil how are we going to heat our homes, or generators to power up many necessities! What they are doing is placing America in a very vulnerable position against Terrorist Countries. Matter of fact Biden, Obama have placed us in an emergency shortage if needed. Heavenly Father I have proved facts and let my thought be know, I think this is a Criminal action this administration has put us through these past three years. God we have asked, we have prayed to You with many prayers crying out our words of Help! God Tell us what else we need to do to make America productive again. God I understand You are very disappointed in what has happened over these many Years of allowing Evilness to penetrate every state and our Government our Churches, our Schools, our Human lives. We have asked forgiveness, for Changes to come about, I know some lives have Changed, but I am guessing we must do more. God we want that new heart and the spirit of Your love to surround us. I know my spirit tells me there is fear that has grown in many lives, they know You but they are afraid of this Evilness that has surrounded us, afraid to speak out. They must not remember the words of Authority that You gave us. God as I listen to the words of a prophet two days ago, You were not happy with Israel and not happy with America how we have lived these past years. Sorry Father God, we are praying for second chances and I do see some changes in America. Just letting you know I am not giving up on praying and reading Your words of how much You love us. I am claiming Psalms -91 and remind You of our Covenant. Exodus 29-5”Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine;” God I thank You! I pray for America and Your Israel. That we both will remember these days never to go backwards, but go forward with You as First place in our Lives. I know this isn’t all about the oil, but it all ties together in this mess we are in. Praise and honor You Father the only real God! ✝️🧎‍♀️🇺🇸🇮🇱💗 I just felt like talking to You!!

Dear Lord, Father God, thank you for putting plenty of oil resources under our feet in America. I pray Lord you give our president and all that oppose drilling for it, to open their eyes to the fact we could be energy independent, as we were 2016-2020. You have placed it there for our benefit and prosperity, something they seem to have forgotten. People are hurting financially right now, and what a blessing you have given us, if our leaders would use it. I pray in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Excerpt from a South African intercessor, Wendy Alec, October 8, the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles…”The Lord Jesus became visible. He had the stance of a warrior; His robes were pure white, but His eyes were blazing with fire…He wept with compassion for the capture and wounded, both from Gaza and Israel…The Archangel Michael looked into His face…waiting. Jesus shook His head, “It is not yet My time. Call My people to prayer, call My intercessors to pray. Look beyond the political to the SPIRITUAL. Blast the shofars. Let My children’s prayers resound over Gaza; let My children’s prayers resound over Israel. GIRD UP YOUR LOINS AND PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. THIS IS A SPIRITUAL WAR, AND IT WILL BE WON BY PRAYER. Pray, beloved son; pray, beloved daughter. PRAY

    Amen! Chills all over. I have been praying for Armies of Angels to be with those afraid and captured. Believers in both Arab communities Jewish areas. For the Holy Spirit to awaken in people. For miracles and dreams to alert, and speak to those who need to hear. For confusion in the terrorists plans. For the enemy is desperate, but God sees all. He is holding little one’s now. He will be a comfort to the parent’s grieving a child’s brutal loss, Lord give great wisdom to 🇮🇱 commanders. Peace yes, but not just peace in thr land, peace in the hearts of man. Eternal fruit. Protection. Supernatural intervention.
    In Jesus’s name Amen.
