“Update, Thursday, April 4, 2007.”
Dear Friends,
Regarding prayer for Israel:
It is reported that Hamas and similar groups are preparing for war with
Israel. They are ready to be called into action, for example, if America
attacks Iran. Terror cells around the world would probably be activated
to attack U.S. and allies' targets. Please pray that they would be
disorganized and ineffective.
Also, please pray that any illegal immigrants in the U.S. or allied
countries would be found and expelled (this would require a policiy
change in the U.S. that is very needed).
Pray that the U.S. would be involved where God wills, for good and not
for evil, especially that we and our allies would spread the Gospel and
protect the unborn. Pray that we would stay out where it is not God's
will, around the world. Pray that our president and Congress would
follow constitutional limitations and procedures.
The Iranians detained 15 British sailors and just set them free. This
was a clever way of pressuring Britain to compromise, and back off from
assisting in any U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.
www.debka.com states that a British delegation went to Iran, and offered
to pledge not to ever enter Iranian waters - this would prevent Britain
from pariticipating in any U.S. led attack on Iran. Whether or not the
U.S. attacks Iran, it is in the interest of freedom-seekers everywhere
to pressure Iran to stop working on nuclear weapons, and to depose
Ahmanijehad. Pray for no wedge between the U.S. and Britain.
There is a debate going on in Iran's government, between the hardliners
like President Ahmanijehad (who want to provoke military conflict and
get victory over the U.S. and Israel), and pragmatists like Supreme
Ruler Ayatollah Khameini and head of the security council Ali Larijani,
who want to avoid provoking the U.S. (Their long term goals may be as
bad as Ahmanijehad, however.) Pray for Ahmanijehad to lose his office.
Pray that Iran not get nuclear weapons. Pray for salvation for these
leaders and the nations.
Many Arab governments have debates amongst their leaders. For example,
Saudi Arabia's leaders are split, whether to support the U.S., or to
support radical Islam and the destruction of the West. Please pray for
governments to have dominant factions that support enhancing freedom in
the country or at least peace in the world. Pray for believers to be
able to be more open around the world, and for the Gospel to be let in.
Iran made many inroads during the Arab League conference which they
visited and were welcomed into (even though they are not Arab). They are
asking for mutual defense treaties with each of the Arab nations, and
urging protectiveness against American influence in the area. Pray for
Iranian diplomacy to fail. Pray for America to have good influence in
the area. Pray against attacks on America and Israel and our allies.
Pray that America and Israel and other countries (notably Britain and
India) to stand together miraculously for Messiah in our policies and be
a bulwark against Muslim world domination.
Thank you. And Happy Day of Firstfruits/Yom Bikkurim/Resurrection Day!
David
