Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love
God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
PRAY BEFORE IT STARTS
A torch has been lit today to be passed along to your e-mail
friends...asking them to pass it along....and along....and along. We
can do something about the threat of war; both in Iraq and with
terrorists. In the Old Testament, God's armies were always led by the
priests. When the waters parted in the Jordan, it was the priests'
feet which first hit the turbulent river. In the New Testament,
Christians are also referred to as priests...all Christians.
We must, therefore,
go in first.
 As the
possibility of war approaches with Hussein and Iraq, we are asking the
priests to step in first.....ahead of our military. Let us be setting
up camp for our soldiers' entrance into the conflict. How? By
prayer.
Let
us be sending in "prayer missiles," "cruise and scud prayers" to
target enemy plans. "Patriot prayers" to shoot down incoming
threats.
We should be praying for two things: (1) that the enemy leaders become
confused, disoriented, and distrustful of each other; that their
entire system of attack fall apart, and (2) that in God's wildest
ways, these enemies would become aware of His deep love for them and
the war Jesus has already fought for them, personally, on the cross.
God had Gideon reduce his army from 32,000 to 300 men. He then
equipped them with nothing but trumpets, pitchers, and torches. What
an odd combination to fight off well-armed soldiers. When Gideon gave
the command, the Bible says the enemy fled crying and turned on each
other...all because God messed with enemy plans.
Prayers were started
for this about a month ago. On CNN last weekend a report came out
that although Hussein has nothing to lose, his generals do.
Is confusion
beginning to develop? Please pray for God to set the stage for defeat
of all those who intend to do harm. When our men and women of uniform
arrive on the scene, may they be surprised at how God had camp set up
before they ever got there.
 Would you
please do two things?
(1) pray, and (2)
pass this along to those you know will pray.
May we build an
e-mail army of over a million in force...beginning with you.
