For Our
Country
Our country has lost its
way. Over half the people that
vote, voted for a government that promises them things it cannot deliver in return
for their souls which it can, will and does take. Our foreign policy backs the rise of Islam, we turn our
backs on those who would follow God and arm those who murder them. Pray God will raise up a leader from
among the people who can turn the country’s course 180° and attempt to come
back to God. Pray the people will
recognize that they are headed down a smooth wide road into the pit, a road
that will get smoother and smoother, steeper and steeper until the only
possible way is down. Down, into the
depths of the pit. Pray people
will recognize there is:
·
One True and Triune God who is goodness in and
of Himself
·
All religions are not equal
·
All ways of life are not equal;
·
The Bible holds the Key to Life;
·
All rights come from God, not the State;
·
Good;
·
Bad;
·
Evil;
·
Right;
·
Wrong;
·
Allah is the Devil;
·
Abortion is no more than sacrifice of children
to Baal.
Pray this recognition will
not come too late. Pray we will,
each of us, do our duty to God, Country and Family, putting His Honor above
all.
Persecuted
The
Islamist group (ISIS) took over Quaragosh, the biggest Christian city in Iraq; 164
men, women and children were beheaded.
People ask where is God?
The real question is where are the people to enforce God’s will. Pray the people of the world will see
Allah for who he is, the Devil.
Pray for those who remain behind that they might find a way to safety.
Around the
world, Christians are under attack, not only in the Muslim world, but from
Hindus and others in India. Also,
they are under continual attack in the name of “Separation of Church and State”
in the western world, as it becomes actively atheist or pro-devil buddy. Please pray for God’s guidance and
protection for all persecuted Christians and those around them.
Education
Aaron is trying out a new job area as an
intern and asks that you pray he might decide if this is a career field and way
of life he might enjoy. Please
pray he might open his heart to God’s guidance and see what he needs to do to
fulfill his potential and live his life in a manner which will bring true
happiness to him.

State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, to finish his Bachelor’s Degree. Please pray for Thomas to focus on

Special Requests

is a horrible time for the people of
India, Christians in particular; they are having problems with Hunger, Bank
Closings, Transportation and Schools not functioning. Pray for the Leaders and Members of our Church in Eluru
Andhra Pradesh. Pray their basic needs will be met and God will be close to
them in this time of need.
We ask that
you pray, please ask God that the Holy Ghost might give you insight into how
you might make the lives of your friends and family better. Remember helping others is not just
those who you don’t know!
