I pray for all the Christians
in the armed forces, in our government and those
that surround our president. I pray that they
will be bold and courageous. I pray that the Lord
will confound every evil effort and sow confusion
in the plans.
I pray that the evil-doers will
fall into disunity and argue among themselves
and be disrupted. I pray for all those who are
innocent in that they do not know the Lord and
never have had the opportunity to learn about
Him. I pray that as the Christians among the troops
live and fight for what is right that those who
do not know our Lord will come to know Him as
they see the witness in the lives of fellow soldiers.

I pray that somehow, some way
that the war will be ended soon and that when
it is, there will be a peaceful time for the peoples
who have so suffered. I pray that they, too, will
see the witness of our Lord Jesus which they have
seen in action there. I pray that there will not
be left a stone unturned, so that we may rid the
world of the evil of terror. I pray that the pending
trial of the evil dictator Hussein is fast and
thorough, so all the world can be sure he will
not return to power ever again.
As in many times past, I pray
for the soldiers who are left there that they
fly their craft, sail their ships and march their
miles under the banner of the living God with
the flag of our dear United States and with all
the others from other countries. If God be for
us, who indeed can be against us? May the God
of all the universe look out across the vast expanses
and clear the paths for righteousness' sake and
for the Glory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
and the fatherhood of our God.

May many who do not know our Lord
and are deceived have their eyes opened to see
the gospel truth and turn from evil. This is spiritual
warfare at its height. There are legions of evil
spirits against us now; I pray for legions of
angels to accompany us and that they will be visible
to our enemies and strike a fear like none before.
I pray for God's eyes to see the unseen evils
and put in our hearts and minds what should be
done in time to thwart any efforts to harm us.
God help us to know how to be
prepared and to keep our families safe from harm.
Never, though, do I give any credit to Satan above
our Savior. He is stronger, mightier, larger and
more powerful than a thousand Satans and more.
Satan is persistent, but he will never win, because
he has fooled his own self into thinking he can.
He is beaten already; the battle was won on Calvary.

Our God is the Creator. If a vessel
is broken, He can remake it. If a battle seems
to be lost, He can turn it into victory. There
is nothing ever thought of by evil men, nor by
Satan himself that the Lord cannot handle. So,
we must lift up our Lord before all men and keep
our eye on the prize eternal life - our own, that
of our friends and loved ones and the desire for
it for all the lost souls in this world. That
is the prize; that is the great spoils of battle
in the spiritual realm. The battle facing the
United States, and those who joined us in Iraq.
was not just an armed invasion. It was and is
the liberation of a country from a godless, evil
tyrant who abused and tortured his own people
while he and his lieutenants lavished on themselves
the world's greatest wealth.
Meanwhile his people were screaming
from pain, dying from lack of medical care and
provisions, and the women were being used as throw-away
amusements for evil men. Now the battle has expanded
to be a war against evil. The numbers of evil
men are astounding; nothing is sacred to this
evil. Evil feeds on itself with more evil. A battle
is necessary to stop this. Please dear Heavenly
Father grant the strength, cunning and tenacity
of a Joshua, Gideon, David and the mighty men
of old who were led by the priests and went when
the Lord said go and stopped when the Lord said
stop. When the directions of our dear Father,
were followed to the letter, victory was assured.
I pray that we continue to seek His explicit directions.
God bless everyone and may the Lord keep us under
the wings of His angels and clothed in His love
and righteousness with His whole armor upon us.

Read this and you will know how
to be prepared for any future battles. How marvelous
are these verses:
Ephesians 6:11-19 Put on the whole
armor of God that ye may be able to withstand
against the wiles of the devil, for we wrestle
not against flesh and blood but against principalities
and against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places. Wherefore, take unto you the whole
armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about
with truth. and having on the breastplate of righteousness:
and your feet shod with the preparation of the
Gospel of Peace: above all, taking the shield
of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the
helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the Word of God: praying always with
all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication
for all saints.
In His name, I humbly pray
about all these things.
