Subject: LET US PRAY BEFORE IT STARTS





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 PRAY BEFORE IT STARTS A torch has been lit today to be
passed along to your e-mail 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 the possibility of war approaches with Hussein and Iraq, we are asking
the priests to step in first.....ahead of our military.  Let us be the ones
setting up camp for our soldiers' entrance into the conflict.  How?  By
prayer.



Let us be the ones 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 an e-mail army of over a million in force...beginning with you.
