Thank you for your commitment . . .

Thank you for your commitment in joining Iraq Prayer Surge ~ NOW! Your intercession for our troops in Iraq will be the difference. Just as intercession gained brought victory to the Allied Forces in World War II, our prevailing prayers will bring the Holy Spirit into action and God's victory and peace to Iraq.

Here's an encouragement from what happened 67 years ago in Europe:

"You are more responsible for this victory today than those men on the battlefield." Rees Howells spoke these words to his group of intercessors as the British soldiers were about to be destroyed by the Nazis at Dunkirk on May 17, 1940. The Lord heard the cries of Mr. Howells and his intercessors and delivered the soldiers. (Ch. 34 of Rees Howells, Intercessor by Norman Grubb)

There is a mandatory prerequisite before answered prayers. 2 Chronicles 7:14 must be properly applied. In order for us to gain intercession, we must go before the Lord pure and holy. Let us examine this key passage...

"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

1. We must be ONE IN JESUS.

2. We must HUMBLE OURSELVES.

3. We must PRAY.

4. We must SEEK GOD.

5. We must REPENT (turn from our wicked ways)

Do we want GOD TO HEAR FROM HEAVEN? Do we want FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS? Do we want HIS HEALING IN THE CHURCH, AMERICA AND THE NATIONS? Do we want GOD TO BATTLE ON OUR BEHALF? Do we want HIS VICTORIES AND PEACE IN IRAQ?

Then, let us first of all AS ONE CHURCH, TURN FROM OUR SINS, WAIT UPON THE LORD AND PRAY WITH HUMBLE HEARTS.

Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us (& our military). just as we hope in You. Psalm 33:20-22
