Prayer

And Prayer Within This Terrible Time
    One person is quoted as having said, "Prayer gives peace that our God is in control." And it is true that unless God is in total control, the turmoil we are in now, will become as nothing when compared to a world without His hand in our daily lives. It's easy to pray for someone who loves you and whom you love, but God says to love the unlovable. (See Proverbs 25:21-22 and Romans 12:19-21 below.) So let's begin our prayers for the Taliban leaders and every single terrorist that they might be led to Jesus during this trying time; that they might learn of Christ's love and His peace that comes from that love. We pray for Afghanistan and the children that suffer the most in this cruelty, unjustly, we pray for the people who lost loved ones, we pray for the firemen, we pray for the police, we pray for the military and people in the service. And the list goes on....
    Romans 13:1-3, (see below) dwells on the authority of government to smite evildoers. This brings to mind the thought that Christ would teach us to forgive and not seek vengeance, but governments are ordained to carry out justice. We pray that our leaders continue to be guided by Christ's consistency in their decisions and actions. We must not forget that the path to peace begins in our own hearts.
     We know that evil and death do not have the final say. We will have struggles and battles that we lose, but we know, through Jesus Christ, who, in the end, will come out on top is God.
     In Scripture 2 Chr 7:14 (KJV). tells us, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." At this juncture in worldly affairs there could be no more urgent need than for people everywhere to follow His admonition. This is a two-fold admonition from God that we humble ourselves and turn from sin. Both are needful and both are do-able. God doesn't ask us to do anything that would be impossible for us to do. Then we can pray confidently and expect God to do for the nation and the world what we ask of Him.
    I call upon every God fearing child of God to kneel and pray for our nation and our world. Heb 13:5 He will not leave us nor forsake us, even in times of the most stress our nation and this world has ever seen. Pray, For God's Sake, Pray

Prov 25:21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
Heb 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
