PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

FromTanya, Bedford, VA

Abba Father, your word tells us in Eph 2:10 that we are YOUR masterpieces, created to do YOUR will, which YOU have prepared in advance for us.  How we thank you for creating men and women who are willing to serve our country by serving in the military whatever their capacity. They sacrifice their lives, to save our lives and give us our freedom.  You gifted them each so uniquely and we celebrate them. 

Oh Abba father, how hard that must be for our soldiers and those who serve in governmental areas that cant share what they are doing or going thru.  Be their EL ROI the God who sees and make your manifest presence known as only you can as the Elohim creator GOD.

Thank you LORD that we can pray for them and we expect you to continue to encourage and uplift them.  Please give divine wisdom to the many chaplains stationed there to be your hands and feet.  Give each of us great sensitivity in how to pray, even if we don’t understand, our prayers do matter, please forgive us for our unbelief. Please even now as the Congress and Senate meet open the floodgates that the money needed for our troops can get there and for places of healing, debriefing and adjustment to be made readily available--so they can get back to normal life and if called again--be able to serve you most effectively.

Thanksgiving of 1621/2008

For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.  2 Chronicles 16:9a

Although King Asa did not heed to this Word of the Lord spoken through Prophet Hanani, the Pilgrims did!  When the Lord saw that this persecuted English believers were loyal only to the King of kings, He used miracles to allow them to land in Plymouth Rock (rather than Virginia), meet Squanto (a Native American knew Jesus and spoke English!), survive to celebrate the First Thanksgiving (with new friends), and write the Mayflower Compact (which was the forerunner of our constitution!!!).  America’s Thanksgiving is incomplete without a careful study of what God did in and through the Pilgrims, and the Natives who were used to rescue them, nearly 400 years ago.  Please read the articles in the following links:

Prevailing Intercession for the Persecuted Church

Elizabeth, Intercessor from MA, wrote:

In the upcoming weeks, is it possible to consider praying for the following issues? 

Praying for persecuted Christians: An estimated 200 million Christians in 60 countries are at risk of being persecuted.  Christians are exiting Iraq to escape death.  Christians are being persecuted in Orissa, India.  Christians continue to be persecuted in Sudan, Ethiopia, North Korea and China.  Believers in Columbia who stand against the drug lords are assassinated.  Countless nations are persecuting our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.

“A Good News Story from Iraq” by LTC Al McCarn  

Following is a portion of a letter written by LTC Al McCarn, our Prayer Surge Now intercessor stationed in Baghdad.  For the complete letter, please contact prayersurgnow@gmail.com   

Last week I had a surprisingly uplifting experience in an interesting place: a facility in Baghdad where several thousand people our forces have captured during our operations in Iraq remain in detention.  The Soldiers who conducted our tour set the impressive tone for our visit.  Most of them were Reservists.  As I have seen for many years, it is hard to tell who is from the Active Army, National Guard, or Army Reserve; Soldiers from all three Components live up to the same standards.  They are consummate professionals who take their responsibilities seriously, and for these Soldiers their first responsibility is to treat the detainees in their care with dignity and respect.  That is the good news story I would like to relate.

 

PSN Supports Welcome Home Troops!

Prayer Surge Now is in partnership with Susan Rebar, Founder and Director of Welcome Home Troop (WHT).  We honor WHT caring for the needs of returning troops and ask you to consider contacting WHT to volunteer and providing financial assistance.  Please go to www.usawelcomehometroops.org and get involved in the lives of those who have served us in Iraq and Afghanistan!

Susan Rebar will share her heart for our troops and the new commander-in-chief during “Joint Prayer Meeting Across America” this Saturday morning!

 

America’s Original Blueprint

“The Seed of a Nation” a book written by Darrell Fields

Understanding the story of Pennsylvania is profoundly important when considering the spiritual battle for America as a whole. This small state contains redemptive potentials in its foundations like few others and a story of modern heroism and sacrifice is beginning to unfold that could instruct us all.

–John Dawson, International Reconciliation Coalition

There may be room there for such a Holy Experiment.  For the nations want a precedent and my God will make it the Seed of a Nation.  That an example may be set up to the Nations.  That we may do the thing that is truly wise and just. 

–William Penn, The First Governor of the Colony of Pennsylvania

For more details of “The Seed of a Nation” go to www.seedofanation.com.

What role will YOU play in this Holy Experiment?
