08.18.07 JOINT PRAYER MEETING ACROSS AMERICA
In this week’s issue:
1. 08.18.07 JOINT PRAYER MEETING ACROSS AMERICA
2. OPERATION PRAYER SURGE PRAYER POINTS AUGUST 2007
3. A SOLDIER WHO APPRECIATES YOUR PRAYER
4. “THE NEED FOR PRAYER”
08.18.07 JOINT PRAYER MEETING ACROSS AMERICA
You are invited to a “joint” prayer meeting on Saturday, August 18th for the purposes of:
- UNITY in the Body of Christ
- REPENTANCE on behalf of the sins of the Church & our nation
- INTERCESSION for Iraq & the Middle East
Prior to September 15th, General David H. Petraeus will testify before the Congress on the progress of the "troop surge" in Baghdad, Iraq. This crucial assessment will most likely determine the decision of President Bush and Congress regarding “Operation Iraqi Freedom.” Our military's success (or lack there of) will have far reaching consequences around the world.
The greatest impact will be among Iraqis and other Muslims in having access to the Word of God, as well as a Christian witness. Will the Middle East experience a great revival and salvation among the millions of Muslims? Or will God once again raise up the kingdoms of "Babylon," "Persia," and "Assyria" and use them as God's instruments of judgment upon His people to expose their prideful, unrepentant and disobedient hearts. Our intercession will make the difference. Let us choose HUMILITY over HUMILIATION!
We are asking that praying Christians everywhere gather to pray on Saturday, August 18th, in their hometowns (or while vacationing). Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions on how to put prayer meetings together in churches and homes. Naturally if the schedule below does not work please use your own, but pray.
8:00-10:00AM Eastern Time
7:00-9:00AM Central Time
6:00-8:00AM Mountain Time
5:00-7:00AM Pacific Time
We will be connected through a conference call for the first 15 minutes (8:00-8:15 Eastern) for a brief-time of teaching and instructions which will help provide a clearer focus for the prayer meetings.
Let us link our hearts as one asking our heavenly Father to have mercy and sweep across the Middle East with His Spirit. If you desire to participate in the 08.18.07 JOINT PRAYER MEETING ACROSS AMERICA, please contact prayersurgenow@gmail.com for more details including the conference call number and code.
OPERATION PRAYER SURGE PRAYER POINTS AUGUST 2007
One month ago, we provided several detailed prayer points for Iraq and the Middle East. Please request your copy of this month's prayer points and find out how prayers have been answered and where we need to now target our prayers. As more encouraging news emerges from the Middle East, let us KEEP ON ASKING, KEEP ON SEEKING, and KEEP ON KNOCKING.
A SOLDIER WHO APPRECIATES YOUR PRAYER
Below are the words of gratitude from Pete Hegseth, Executive Director, Vets for Freedom.
I believe in the power of prayer, and as a soldier, I felt it first hand. When I was in Iraq, my family and friends back home held me up in prayer, and it gave me an assurance and sense of calm that I otherwise would not have had. This is what makes the Iraq Prayer Surge so important. Your prayers—for our troops AND their mission—are a powerful component of bringing a lasting peace to Iraq. Thank you for your prayers. They mean a great deal to soldiers, their families, and the people of Iraq. God bless you.
Please learn more about Pete Hegseth and Vets for Freedom by going to www.vetsforfreedom.com.
“THE NEED FOR PRAYER”
The need for prayer…… once realized……is overpowering.
It’s like a soldier entering a mission for the first time that might be his last.
He becomes aware of his needs……especially the need to get a grip on his fears.
Some people of our country are becoming aware of our need for God’s help……His divine intervention.
They know that without His action……
what Americans have been familiar with over the past decades will be gone.
The strength of our military nor the great and high tech weaponry nor the great ingenuity and
courage of the warrior will be sufficient.
Just as General George C. Marshall…… a man who fought in both World Wars……
said in a speech to a college student body after World War II.
“The soldier’s heart, the soldier’s spirit, the soldier’s soul are everything. Unless the soldier’s soul sustains him, he cannot be relied on and will fail himself, his commander, and his country in the end.”
George C. Marshall, General of the Army
Just as it is with the heart……the spirit……the soul……
of the soldier – so it goes with the nation.
Prayer……humble……fervent……committed……selfless……
prevailing……persistent is what our nation needs.
In Addition To….Repentance….

HUGE GAINS IN IRAQ!
There has been significant improvements in Iraq. Our prayer efforts must increase during these critical days of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Please read the following articles and be encouraged as you intercede!
1. WHAT BUSH CRITICS SAW IN IRAQ
2. WHY ARE SOME OUR LEADERS AGAINST SUCCESS IN IRAQ?
3. VICTORY BEGINS WITH HUMILITY: A LESSON IN HISTORY
WHAT BUSH CRITICS SAW IN IRAQ
“VIEWED from Iraq, where we just spent eight days meeting with American and Iraqi military and civilian personnel, the political debate in Washington is surreal. The Bush administration has over four years lost essentially all credibility. Yet now the administration’s critics, in part as a result, seem unaware of the significant changes taking place.”
Please read the rest of this honest assessment of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the New York Times article below:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/30/opinion/30pollack.html
WHY ARE SOME OUR LEADERS AGAINST SUCCESS IN IRAQ?
Before you read this alarming article below, please ask Jesus for His humble heart of intercession and meditate upon 1 Timothy 2:1-8. Let us pray for godly wisdom for our leaders, and their for salvation, “lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” Please read http://www.nysun.com/article/59744
VICTORY BEGINS WITH HUMILTY: A LESSON IN HISTORY
During the most difficult time in our nation’s history, the president called for America to humility. Here is an excerpt of this historic letter from the heart of our humble president:
"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness."
President Abraham Lincoln understood the importance of prayer and repentance. Many Americans responded and sought the Lord in desperation. The Lord heard, forgave and ended slavery and preserved the Union. For the comlete text of this call to national repentance, please go to

Praying with the heart of 2 Chronicles 7:14 is even more critical today than in 1863. Would you join us in humility and pray:
Lord, we are your people who are called by your name. We humble ourselves this day, pray and seek Your face, repent of our sins and for the sins our nation.
Would you graciously hear from heaven, forgive our sins and bring Your healing to the Church and salvation to the lost and dying world? We humbly ask You to bring revival in America & the Middle East. In the Name of Our Humble Savior we pray,
AMEN

Kairos Moment in History!

2. An Amazing Video From Northern Iraq
3. Urgent Prayer Points in the News
Iraq: A Kairos Moment in History
Abby Abildness, Director of Healing Tree International
Having recently returned from Northern Kurdish Iraq on a medical training mission on crisis response, I have gained perspective on the strategic moment in history the United States is facing in that region. Iraqi Kurdish government physicians told us they rejoice at their newfound freedoms since the fall of the Saddam regime, and the United Nations establishment of the City of Refuge and Healing in that region. Their Kurdish Globe reports that Duhok is proud to be a business gateway of massive rebuilding housing and business projects. Their people are impressed as they watch President Bush’s resolve to continue the fight no matter the opposition. Iraqi’s are impacted by the integrity of American values so much that they welcome us to come into their land to live and teach them. They want to learn how to rule with justice, and how to heal with medical and spiritual wisdom. They want to learn our faith as they see trustworthiness they don’t see in their own people. They say it would be good for the United States and for them if we remain in their land for security and rebuilding. Pray the truth of this good comes out in the media and that we see this positive diplomacy for the victory of our government purposes and sacrifices of our soldiers. Intercession for God’s purposes to be fulfilled is critical since rebuilding is determined not by might, nor power, but by His Spirit (Zechariah 4:6). I see the potential fulfillment of Isaiah 61:4 for Iraq in rebuilding the ancient ruins, and raising up the former desolations, repairing the ruined cities, the devastations of many generation and (verse 7) instead of shame there shall be a double portion, and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot and have everlasting joy.
Our nation is founded on the faith of our fathers, and has been called to be a nation to show the Father God’s heart to protect and care for other nations in need. This battle in Iraq is a KAIROS moment in history as the eyes of the world are watching and being impacted by the unveiling of justice and truth to the Middle Eastern people. It is no wonder the media battle rages with such high stakes. Prayer Surge is critical in releasing the power of the Spirit of God to bring victory in that region. Just as Northern Iraq is becoming a gateway to rebuilding business and housing, to bring healing to the land of Iraq, it will also be a gateway to healing for America and the world. As other nations are watching, we are providing a powerful witness to the faith of our nation’s founding fathers. This war is a sacred task. If we can keep the focus as One Nation Under God on healing their land we will find it will bring healing to our land. America has a Father’s heart to bring justice and healing to nations. If we trust in God for success, we would come out of there having done a great thing for the world.

Iraq Prayer Surge ~ NOW!
Hosted by MEN for NATIONS, Washington, DC
The Mission
1. 2 Chronicles 7:14 To remind Biblical Christians across America to approach God in unity, humility and repentance in order to receive His listening ears, forgiveness and healing. He is already answering our prayers in Northern Iraq and in and through our troops who consider themselves as Christ’s Ambassadors in Iraq.
2. Hebrews 4:14-16 To promote deep intercession within the Body of Christ across America for “Operation Iraqi Freedom” that will result in God's victory and security in Iraq well beyond September 15th. We are in great desperate need of His mercy and grace in Baghdad, Jerusalem and Washington, DC.
3. 1 Timothy 2:1-8 To pray daily for God's protection and blessings upon our troops and the Iraqi people for the purpose of revival in both America & Iraq. We must also pray for President Bush, the US Congress, our military leadership, and the families of our troops who are grieving and waiting as well as God’s salvation among the Iraqis.

Iraq Prayer Surge ~ NOW!
Hosted by MEN for NATIONS, Washington, DC
The Mission
1. 2 Chronicles 7:14 To remind Biblical Christians across America to approach God in unity, humility and repentance in order to receive His listening ears, forgiveness and healing. He is already answering our prayers in Northern Iraq and in and through our troops who consider themselves as Christ’s Ambassadors in Iraq.
2. Hebrews 4:14-16 To promote deep intercession within the Body of Christ across America for “Operation Iraqi Freedom” that will result in God's victory and security in Iraq well beyond September 15th. We are in great desperate need of His mercy and grace in Baghdad, Jerusalem and Washington, DC.
3. 1 Timothy 2:1-8 To pray daily for God's protection and blessings upon our troops and the Iraqi people for the purpose of revival in both America & Iraq. We must also pray for President Bush, the US Congress, our military leadership, and the families of our troops who are grieving and waiting as well as God’s salvation among the Iraqis.

Iraq War From a Kingdom Perspective
The United States Congress poised to bring our troops home even before General Petraeus gives his assessment of the “troop surge.” Without a significant prevailing Prayer Surge, global terror will spread like a wild fire and the ancient Middle East kingdoms such as Babylon, Persia and Assyria will be revived. The Lord is leaving the destiny of America, Iraq, Israel, and the rest of the nations in the prayers of His intercessors. Let us include our congress in our Prayer Surge as instructed in 1 Timothy 2:1-8.

The War in Iraq From a Kingdom Perspective
Pastor Tatsuo Akamine, Global Revival Mission
From a Kingdom perspective, which for all 'born-again' Christians, is the most critical, the war in Iraq is essentially about the breaking of the 10/40 window.
"Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by miraculous signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes? (Deut. 4:34)
In the field of Christian missions, the 10/40 window is that region in the globe which encompasses all of North Africa, the entire Middle East, extends into India, China and the Far East. This area contains close to 2 billion people who have yet to hear the Gospel. For centuries this area has been the stronghold of the Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist empires and has been impervious to missionary activity for centuries up until now!
God is using this war to break open this window!
Advancement of Gospel Mission
Unprecedented numbers of Muslims are coming to Christ since the war erupted. Christians in the area thank God for the war as the freedom to propogate the gospel is greater than it ever has been.
Last year I was invited to Malaysia to attend the 2007 Global Prayer Summit. While there, I met a physcian from Eygpt and he told me,
"Tatsuo, since the war, there have been more Muslims converted to Christ than in the previous 1,400 years combined!"
A Christian leader from Kuwait told me that since the '1991 Gulf War' the entire atmosphere of Kuwait has changed!
The Prince of Persia
The 'Prince of Persia' which is the ruling principality in this area (Dan. 10:13) wants to close this window and reclaim his losses, that's why through his global networks of other principalities, especially through secular media, which is his main tool, he is stirring up regional, international, and domestic protest to get our troops out of Iraq and to effect the politics of this nation.
2008 Presidential Elections
We must fervently pray that the eyes of Christians would be opened by this kingdom of God perspective rather than be blinded by CNN, MSNBC, and other major secular networks! Mark my words, this will be the key issue for next year's battle for the 2008 Presidential Elections!
