The New Orleans attack took place in the early hours of the morning, when Shamsud Din Jabbar, who had reportedly pledged loyalty to ISIS, rammed his car into a crown on Bourbon Street, killing more than a dozen people.

In Las Vegas, a Tesla cybertruck that was packed with explosives exploded outside the entrance to the Trump Hotel, killing at least one person and injuring several more. The suspect in the latter attack died in the explosion, police said.

Father God I pray that as more attacks against innocent people be stopped by your heavenly host. Surround the intended areas of attack with your glory. As we know there is defeated foe who uses people. Let us continue to intercede until president Trump gets in office and even afterwards. In Jesus’s name I pray.

Our current Attorney General and the FBI are useless at finding terrorist. Their goal under the Biden administration has been to go after any American citizen who does not agree with the democrat agenda The Democrats could give a rip about a criminal. They just want to stay in office. May God expose all future plots against the USA and send the Holy Spirit to convert those with evil plans. Trust in God.
🙏😇🙏

Father may those who were involved with Shamsud-Din Jabbar in this attack to be found out. May they not be able to hide. I pray for the healing of those injured and the comfort for the families of those who were killed. Bring us peace as we repent and seek your face. May those involved in the protest see your truth and worship you instead of their own gods.
