With the current events occuring in our world I just wanted to remind everyone to keep our military forces in prayer, along with our leaders who are making these critical decisions. Please pray for God's will to be done during these times and his protection on all those involved. There are many people who are in fear right now with the uncertainty of terrorism. Pray that the Lord will use each and everyone of us as a vessel to share Christ and his love to others in these crucial times. And be sure to take a little extra time to spend with your families and loved ones. If things do get tough the memories you create today will be a comfort to those around you tomarrow. You are all in my prayers.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Subject: PRAY BEFORE IT STARTS A torch has been lit today to be passed along to your friends...asking them to pass it along....and along....and along. We can do something about the threat of war; both in Iraq and with terrorists. In the Old Testament, God's armies were always led by the priests. When the waters parted in the Jordan, it was the priests' feet which first hit the turbulent river. In the New Testament, Christians are also referred to as priests...all Christians.
We must, therefore, go in first.
As war approaches with Hussein and Iraq, we are asking the priests to step in first.....ahead of our military. Let us be setting up camp for our soldiers' entrance into the conflict. How? By prayer.
Let us be sending in "prayer missiles," "cruise and scud prayers" to target enemy plans. "Patriot prayers" to shoot down incoming threats.
We should be praying for two things: (1) that the enemy leaders become confused, disoriented, and distrustful of each other; that their entire system of attack fall apart, and (2) that in God's wildest ways, these enemies would become aware of His deep love for them and the war Jesus has already fought for them, personally, on the cross.
God had Gideon reduce his army from 32,000 to 300 men. He then equipped them with nothing but trumpets, pitchers, and torches. What an odd combination to fight off well-armed soldiers. When Gideon gave the command, the Bible says the enemy fled crying and turned on each other...all because God messed with enemy plans.
Prayers were started for this about a month ago. On CNN last weekend a report came out that although Hussein has nothing to lose, his generals do.
Is confusion beginning to develop? Please pray for God to set the stage for defeat of all those who intend to do harm. When our men and women of uniform arrive on the scene, may they be surprised at how God had camp set up before they ever got there.
Would you please do two things?
(1) pray, and (2) pass this along to those you know will pray.
May we build a prayer army of over a million in force...beginning with us.
