Department of Defense officials held a press briefing Thursday following two explosions in Afghanistan that killed a dozen U.S. service members and injured many more…

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby and Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr., commander of U.S. Central Command, provided an update Thursday about the situation in Afghanistan.

“Two suicide bombers, assessed to have been ISIS fighters, detonated [a bomb] in the vicinity of the Abbey Gate at Hamid Karzai International Airport and in the vicinity of the Baron Hotel..,” McKenzie said…

“The attack on the Abbey Gate was followed by a number of ISIS gunmen, who opened fire on civilians and military forces..,he added…

McKenzie did not offer many details about the second bomb. When asked if there were subsequent attacks in Kabul following the aforementioned explosions at the airport and the Baron Hotel, he said, “I can’t confirm that there have been other attacks in Kabul.” According to McKenzie, “Typically, the pattern is multiple attacks … and we want to be prepared and be ready to defend against that.”…

When asked by The Associated Press for his “assessment of the ISIS threat going forward” and whether the terror attacks “cut the evacuation short,” McKenzie maintained that “the threat from ISIS is extremely real…”

Throughout his remarks, McKenzie discussed a partnership with the Taliban, a terrorist group, to counter the influence of the Islamic State’s Afghanistan affiliate, known as ISIS Khorasan or ISIS-K: “We expect those attacks to continue and we’re doing everything we can to prepare for those attacks. That includes reaching out to the Taliban … to make sure they know what we expect them to do to protect us and we will continue to coordinate with them … as they go forward.”

McKenzie indicated that the U.S. had shared national security information “with the Taliban so that they can actually do some searching out there for us” in addition to sharing his belief that “some attacks have been thwarted by them.”

He stressed that “We cut down the information we give the Taliban. They don’t get the full range of information that we have.”…

These certain military and political elements ARE TERRORISTS to true Americans who are loyal to our foundational documents.

This message needs to be spoken out loud now.

We no longer have to wonder in our secret prayer closets about WHO is our enemy. If you don’t see that, you need to ask God Almighty to open your discernment….Holy Spirit reveal and help us to stand against that which you are calling us to stand against.

We have innocent Americans being held by our government on our soil without due process and barely given human rights. Many Congress members have tried to see them.

Yet we listen to the same evil element that holds our fellow Americans, wrongfully holding them, as though these officials will tell us the truth. As though they will consider our well being.

Wake up! Christian men and women. They are not after me (“TRUMP”) they are after YOU!

God is standing in the way of the enemy now but he will not forever.
Our fight is on our knees seeking His will in the battle.

We ask God to fight for us.
He says, STAND UP , and I will.

Praying Mercy and Grace upon us all.

You don’t “partner with terrorists”. It’s obvious that certain American military leadership and political hacks have become so inept that they truly forgot something called 9/11. We are watching a veil of deception pulled completely over the heads of those who consider themselves “experts”.
They think words mean something when the Taliban wants to convince us how “legit” they are. What we are seeing now would never had taken place with the “real president” that we had before. The ‘wise men’ that Biden has are so wise that they are fools and they don’t get it. But worse, they don’t care about Americans or our nation.
The Taliban will promise to protect you and then park a car packed with who knows what next to the same government offices people work in. Has our government learned nothing or is this just another piece of the deep state sell out?
It is heart crushing to millions of people to realize that our nation is being led by imbeciles.
•Lord God help us please. Our hearts are grieving at those lost in Afghanistan, at the loss of leadership in our nation and that our country has wandered so far from you.

    Wake up! Christian men and women. They are not after me (“TRUMP”) they are after YOU!

    God is standing in the way of the enemy now to a degree but he will not forever.

    We ask God to fight for us.

    He says, STAND UP , and I will.

At this point, not many things this truly inept, corrupt, disgraceful, administration could do would surprise me. The Taliban do not “partner” with anyone!! The Taliban are terrorists, killers, beyond the word, EVIL!! Biden, at this point, couldn’t partner with anyone, let alone, the Taliban! Biden has decimated our country, morally and physically, not to mention spiritually!
It is difficult to know, yet, exactly where this is all going to lead to, but I do believe THERE IS A REASON, that we don’t quite know for now! So, pray, God will shed His light on that which is “hidden” that is not clear to us yet. This administration has a “reason” for what they have done! May Christians wake up and see through His “eyes of understanding.” America has been “sold out” for a price! I believe we will see that one day!
Father, thank You, that You hide us, in the shadow of Your wings!

(From Isaiah) Holy,Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts. You are the God with armies of angels you are a holy God. Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. Holy Father I come against this Muslim spirit in Jesus name. They believe Allah is the one and only God and Jesus is a prophet. I am thankful you are God and Jesus is my savior. I thank you for the saving grace of Jesus. Now we have entered a “holy” war. One muslim extremist against the other and we are siding with one over the other and trusting them. This is not my battle except in prayer. Maybe that is what they have to do. I look to you Prince of Peace. Lord I pray for good leadership direct them, they do not understand the spirit they are dealing with. Nothing is impossible with thee. I pray Lord for victory over this spirit. Help our leaders make good choices. Many of them need you as savior do a work in their hearts. Lord these Muslim terrorist they need you too. In Acts 9 it says a light from heaven flashed around Saul and he fell to the ground. You can move on the hearts of these men like you did Saul’s. All I know for sure Lord is we need a miracle in Afghanistan. I am grateful I serve a true God that hears and answers prayer. In Jesus name Amen

how are we suposed to pray about a ..”leadership”..that asks our enemy,that we are currently in battle with,,to protect us? I pray that..
..”Lord, please heal our land from this insanity in the thinking of the ..supposed leaders”..please intervene in ways that only you can to guide our military/pentagon/and any stout hearted legislators and military leaders through infusing them with courage, even bypassing the foolishness of the state department who has refused to allow other countries to house our escaping citizens, including the afghan citizens”
