PRAY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

This war needs soldiers on the ground and soldiers who know how to pray.

Isaiah 28:5, 6 says, "In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, and for a spirit of judgment to him that sittest in judgment, and for STRENGTH TO THEM THAT TURN THE BATTLE TO THE GATE."

All the blood, sweat, and toil that the USA put into winning the war over Al Qaeda in Iraq is about to be lost as ISIS positions itself to take Baghdad. Men, along with our families, we must pray that God will somehow and in some way divinely intervene. In the last week approximately 1,000 people have been killed by this murderous group as it sets itself up to take Baghdad. We must pray that God in His mercy will cause our government to act wisely and appropriately, despite the foolishness of man's wisdom.

There are many Christians in Iraq and Syria whose lives are being snuffed out and brutally threatened by this evil land murderous group. As we all know, two of our our journalists were beheaded by them. Now we have the beheading in Oklahoma, which is without a doubt connected, and should warn us that all these terrorist groups need to be severely dealt with right now by all peace loving nations before we suffer something even worse than 9/11.

All of these terrorist groups hate us with a demonic, satanic hatred. We must pray also that millions of moderate more peace-loving Islamics will leave their Islamic faith out of disgust for its ever-increasing violence toward innocent people. We must pray that they will turn to Jesus Christ who alone is the "way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6).

Be encouraged.
