Subject: Help me with your prayers
From: “James Christian”

Dear In Christ ,

Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !

My name is James Christian and i need your prayer support.

I have come to know that my father Mr. Imanuel W.Christian is in adultery.
Since a long time i, my mom and sister we are praying for my dad’s
salvation. He had a severe heart operation and god saved him miraculously
and at that time while he was resting home he was reading the Bible and
even left cigarrete smoking but since he started Job he left reading the
word of God and started cigarrette smoking.

Only i know that my dad is still smoking and also in adultery. I dont want
to tell this thing to my sister and mother because they will not bare it.
God has strengthened me through his word therefore i could bear this news
and also praying for my dad’s deliverance from smoking habit and adultery.
God has shown me a way to tell my father about his sins. I am going to
walk on the path Jesus has shown me. Please pray that i may get success
and my father not only repent of his sins but also stand firm in Christ
till the end of his life and leave smoking and adultery promptly and
become a child of God.

I urgently need your prayers and please send my prayer requests to as many
genuine prayer friends as you can so that we together may win my dad for
Jesus Christ.

Thanking You

In Christ

James Christian

Subject: Urgent Prayer Request
From: “Mari Muthu”

DEAR ALL

We have an important and urgent prayer need. Our School of Evangelism and
Pioneering(SOEP) training center is run on a rented property. The SOEP has
trained many missioanries and sent them all over the world from this
property. This is an ideal place for training people.

Recently the owner of the property has asked us to vacate. Our rental agreement
expires on 8th November 2008. The woner wants to give it some people who are willing
to pay more money. He wants to raise to another 150% as rent.

Will you please pray for with us? We really need God’s wisdom and direction. If you
get any Word from the Lord, please share with us.

Thanks

Muthu

Hi folks,

Three prayer requests have come to me within the past three days. Please
take these to the Lord:

  • 1) Joanne Simpson, missionary to Guatemala, needs prayer. She is experiencing severe back and leg pain which makes it difficult for her to do everything from the simplist to most demanding tasks.

  • 2) Carmen (Ogden) Chatterton, from LICF, is experiencing back pain that interferes with her work.
  • 3) Dee Copley’s husband, Todd, recently received a preliminary diagnosis of Hodgkin’s Disease (a type of cancer) and has been referred to the cancer clinic.

    Thanks for keeping these sisters and this brother in prayer.

    Most Urgent Prayer Request For Earthquake Kills and Affected Victims People in Pakistan

    This message has been sent to you to alert you to specific spiritual warfare. Thanks for your participation.

    Pastor Chuck & Arlyn

    Greetings from Reverend Pervaiz Khokhar! Thank you so much for all of your prayers and loving support of our ministry and May
    God continues to bless you for your generosity! You are a matchless Blessing to our lives and the lives of countless others that you
    help us to reach for Christ!

    Today we will share with you earthquake report and many people killed, injured and were wounded, affected victims by earthquake in
    Province Baluchistan Pakistan. Please continually pray for these people killed, injured and were wounded, affected victims by earthquake.
    Truly this news is very sad for all saints Brothers/Sisters living in the earth. Praise the Lord!!! I and my team, family members are
    doing well and continually praying for these people.

    The Report is given below:

    - Earthquake kills and affected Victims Many People in Pakistan Wednesday, 29 October 2008 A strong earthquake measuring 6.5 on
    the Richter scale hit Baluchistan, in Pakistan, and killed at least 215 & 400 people injured and many Hundreds of people were wounded,
    affected Victims by earthquake and many of them left homeless and the estimated at least 500 people have been killed. Many people were
    conjectured to be under debris.

    The Quetta, largest city and provincial capital and district of Baluchistan Province, and many other districts of the province was
    hit by the earthquake between 4:30 a.m. and 5:10 A.M and some 165 km southeast of the Afghan city of Kandahar. The earthquake struck
    southwest Pakistan before dawn Wednesday, killing at least 215 people, destroying mud homes and sending survivors screaming into the
    streets in panic. At least eight villages were badly hit by the 6.4-magnitude quake, local police and officials said, warning the
    death toll could rise as rescue workers reached villages in the remote mountainous region bordering Afghanistan.

    Dilawar Kakar, the mayor of the historic hill town of Ziarat, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of the city of Quetta, said the death toll had risen to 215, while about 400 people in the area were injured. The city of Quetta was almost completely destroyed
    by a 7, 1-magnitude earthquake on May 31, 1935, in which about 40 000 people perished.

    Pakistan covers an area where seismic activities occur very often. Thus, Pakistan has had similar natural disasters in the past.

    On Oct. 8, 2005, an earthquake (measured 7.8 on the Richter scale) killed more than 75,000 people and a calculated approximately
    3.5 million people were left homeless. In one other earthquake occurred in 1935 in Quetta nearly 30,000 people died. Pakistan’s central
    government and many Local & International NGO’s Christian Ministries has pledged thousands of dollars to the families of those
    killed in the quake and hundreds of dollars to those who are seriously injured.

    The military has flown in tents, food, supplies and doctors to the affected region. The quake affected areas shortages of food,
    water, warm clothes, blankets and shoes in some places. They appealed for the government, Local & International NGO’s Christian
    Ministries to provide heavy digging equipment to help them bury their dead, as well as shelter and blankets to endure the night-time
    temperatures that fall below freezing.

    Please pray.

    Yours Brother in Christ!

    The Statement made to the Press by Sr Meena

    This message has been sent to you to alert you to specific spiritual warfare. Thanks for your participation.

    A heart wrenching account by the Sister who was raped in Orissa. Please continue to pray for her, perpetrators of the crime and for Orissa.

    The rape victim of Orissa Anti-Christian Violence came out in public statement in a press conference held in New Delhi on Friday after Supreme Court of India denying the CBI enquiry demanded in a writ petition.

    Sr. Meena Lalita Barwa, in deep grip over the crime committed against her by Hindu militants says, “Orissa police failed to protect me from rapist and attackers. I lost my trust in them. Justice will be only possible if my case is taken by CBI.Very police forces who watched while the crime was committed against me, and who also failed their duty to register my complaint initially and twisted later on and took over 40 days to take action until public outcry pour out. I do not trust in them to give me fair justice and punish the culprits,” says Sr. Meena.

    Civil societies and Christian communities of India were disappointed at Supreme Court’s judgement for refusing CBI enquiry over the rape case on October 22, 2008, Court’s refusal to transfer the case from Orissa Police to CBI came for the reason that the accused persons of the rape crime are already arrested by Orissa Police.

    Sr. Meena was working at Divyajyoti Pastoral Centre at K. Nuagaon, Kandhamal District, Orissa before anti-Christian violence broken out in Kandhamal district of Orissa after the killing of Lakshmananada Sarawati on August 23, 2008 by Maoists.

    “On 24th August around 4.30 pm, hearing the shouting large crowd, at the gate of Sivyajyoti pastoral centre, I ran out through the back door and escaped to the forest along with others. We saw our house going up in flame. Around 8.30 PM, we came out of the forest and went to the house of the Hindu gentleman who gave us shelter,” Meena’s statement said.

    “On 25th August, around 1.30 PM, the mob entered the room where I was staying in that house; one of them slapped on my face, caught my hair and pulled me out of the house. Two of them were holding my neck to cut off my head with axe. Others told them to take me out to the road; I saw Fr. Chellan also being taken out and being beaten. The mob consisting of 40-50 men were armed with lathis, axes, spades, crowbars, iron rods, sticks etc. They took both of us to the main road. Then they led us to the burnt down Janavikas building saying that they were going to throw us into the smoldering fire,” Meena said.

    “When we reached the Janavikas building, threw me to the verandah on the way to the dining room which was full of ashes and broken glass pieces. One of them tore my blouse and others my undergarments. Father Chellan protested and they beat him and pulled him out from there. They pulled out my saree and one of them slepped on my right hand and another on my left hand and then a third person raped me on the verandah mention above. When it was over, I managed to get up and put my petticoat and saree. Then another young man caught me and took me to a room near the staircase. He opened his pants and was attempting to rape me when they reached there,” Meena said.

    “I hide myself under the staircase. The crowd was shouting “Where is that sister, come let us rape her, at least 100 people should rape.” They found me under stair case and took me out to the road. There I saw Fr. Chellan was kneeling down and the crowd was beating him. They were searching for a rope to tie both of us together to burn in fire. Someone suggested to make a us parade naked. They made us to walk on the road till Nuagaon market, which was half a kilometer from there. They made to fold our hands and walk. I was with petticoat and saree as they had already torn away my blouse and undergarments. They tried to strip even there and I resisted and they went on beating me with hands on my cheeks and head, and with sticks on my back several times,” she said. “When we reached market place, about a dozen of OSAP police men were there. I went to them asking to protect me and I sat in between two policemen. They did not move. One from the crowd again pulled out from there there and they wanted to take us in their temple mandap. The crowd led me and Fr. Chellan to the Nuagaon block building, saying that they will hand us over to B.D.O. From there along with the block officer, the mob took us to police outpost Nuagaon, other policemen remained far,” she added.

    “The mob said that they will comeback after and one of them who attacked me remained back in the police outpost. Policemen then came to police outpost. They were talking very friendly with the man who had attacked me and stayed back. In police outpost we remained until the inspector incharge of Balliguda with his police team came and took us to Balliguda. They were afraid to us straight to the police station and they kept us sometimes in jeep in garage, from there they brought us to the station. The inspector incharge and other two government officers took privately and asked whatever happened to me. I narrated everything in detail to the police, how I was attacked, raped, taken away from policement paraded half naked and how the plicemen did not help me when I asked for help while weeping bitterly. I saw the inspector writing down. The inspector asked me “Are you interesting in filing FIR? Do you know what will be the consequence?” At about 10 PM, I was taken for medical check up accompanied by a lady police officer to Balliguda hospital” They were afraid to keep us in police station, saying the mob may attack police station. So the police took us to I. B. (Inspection Bungalow) where CRPF men were camping,”.

    “On 26th around 9 AM we were taken to Balliguda police station. When I was writing the FIR, the I/C asked me to hurry up and not to write in detail. When I started writing about the police, I/C told me this is not the way to write FIR. “Make it short.” So I rewrote it for the third time in one and half page. I filed the FIR, but I was not given a copy of it”

    “At around 4 PM the Inspector In charge of Balliguda police station along with some government officers put us in the OSRTC bus to Bhubaneswar along with other stranded passengers. Police were there till Rangamati, where all passengers had their supper. After that I did not see the police. We got down near Nayagarh and traveled in a private vehicle and reached Bhubaneswar around 2 AM on 27th August,”

    “State police failed to stop the crimes, failed to protect me from the attackers, they were friendly with attackers, they tried their best that I did not register a FIR, not make complaints against police, police did not take down my statement as I narrated in detail and they abandon me half of the way. I was raped and now I don’t want to be victimized by the Orissa Police. I want CBO enquiry. God bless India, God bless you al ,” Sr. Meena Lalita Barwa said.

    Orissa extremists gain outside supporters

    This message has been sent to you to alert you to specific spiritual warfare. Thanks for your participation.

    Photo courtesy GFAIndia (MNN) –There seems to be no end in sight to the heavy persecution against Christians in India. Recent attacks have taken place in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Maharashtra — clear indication that the violence is spreading further than just Orissa.

    Two weeks ago, Gospel for Asia missionary Raju was assaulted in Uttar Pradesh on his way home from a visit with fellow Christians. Extremists severely beat Raju, kicking him repeatedly until he lost consciousness. Raju was unconscious for five hours afterward and unable to speak for longer. He is now recovering from a broken hand and many facial injuries.

    Of course, the reason for Raju’s victimization was not that he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Raju’s church has been blessed by the Lord and has grown to over 150 members. Many Hindu extremists are not happy with Raju’s dedication to his ministry, and they clearly found a way to show it.

    Other GFA missionaries have also served as prey for extremists. In Delhi, Vikram, who leads a church of 80 other believers, was recently warned by death threats to put an end to his worship services. College Bible students in Maharashtra have been arrested and threatened for handing out tracts as well, accused of forcing Christianity on passers-by.

    Although this violence had been seemingly confined to the state of Orissa in past weeks, now it is making headway throughout the rest of the country.

    Please continue to pray for the strength of God’s people, not just in Orissa, but throughout all of India. Pray that these extremists would see Christ in these strong believers and surrender to Jesus. Pray that the Lord would assure Christians in India of the reality of 1 John 4:4, “The One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”

    Persecution in India called ‘religious genocide’

    This message has been sent to you to alert you to specific spiritual warfare. Thanks for your participation.

    Pastor Chuck & Arlyn


    Click here for more articles on the persecuted church.

    Indian Christians in the Bhubneshwar refugee camp in Orissa.India (MNN) –The violence against Christians in India’s Orissa State started in August. Unfortunately, not much has changed, according to Ramesh Landge who works with Partners International, a global ministry that creates growing Christian communities in partnership with God’s people in the least-Christian regions of the world.

    Landge says “This has been a religious genocide according to the U-N definition of genocide, where persistently and systematically it is planned and not stopped. It falls in that category of genocide, and we do agree with that.”

    Landge has been going into Orissa to help the many Christians who have been displaced by the attack from Hindu extremists. He says the situation isn’t getting much better. “There has been a lot of intimidation. There has been a lot of persecution. People have not been able to go back [to their homes]. If they do go back, the Hindu fundamentalists parties want them to reconvert.”

    But, he says, Christians are standing strong. “The fact is, they’ve been living in refugee camps. They’ve been suffering. They have NOT renounced their faith. They continue to stand strong.”

    He tells us why this is so unprecedented. “This is the very first time in Indian history that such a long onslaught against Christians has taken place, and in a sustained way. In a way, the government was part of it. They never tried to stop it. They were just silent spectators.”

    That’s forced many Christians into unsafe refugee camps, or into the jungle areas.

    Landge says Partner International wants to help. “We would like to get in and provide some of the needed relief to the people. We would like to mitigate some of the suffering, especially as winter is approaching and people are in the open, and you can just imagine living in the jungle where it gets really, really cold.”

    While the government isn’t doing much to help Indian Christians, Landge offers so suggestions on how you can help. “They can pray for the people who are being persecuted. They could be the advocates in different countries, and the third thing you can contribute materially in order to mitigate some of the suffering.”

    Despite all the persecution, Christians continue to share their faith and Landge says many are giving their hearts to Christ.

    The Consequences of This Election Are High, So Pray

    This message has been sent to you to alert you to specific spiritual warfare necessary for this great country, America. Thanks for your participation.

    Pastor Chuck & Arlyn

    Source: Strang Report

    My inbox is full of e-mails from many Christian leaders calling for prayer and fasting and warning that if Sen. Barack Obama is elected, there are serious consequences for everything from right to life, to national security, to turning America toward European-style socialism.

    This week’s report is a compilation of what I think are the most serious warnings. It is also a call to pray and to believe for a miracle to see John McCain get elected.

    Meanwhile I’m being bombarded by some very strong negative comments from so-called “Christians” –most of them black–who are supporting Obama because he’s black and blasting anyone who won’t vote for him as racist. This is sad to me because I’ve worked all my adult life to build bridges of reconciliation to the black community. Click here to read Kim Daniel’s important word on the election from a black woman who is not afraid to buck the trend of nearly everyone in the black community.

    The first and most important item is a statement from Dutch Sheets about the spiritual ramifications of this election. You can read that at the end of this report. And you can click on the links below to download a prophetic song by Klaus Kuehn and a prayer from Dutch. Forward this and the entire Strang Report to your family and friends.

    As always you’re invited to leave your comments on our blog.

    Prophetic leaders are hesitant to say publicly they believe God will give McCain a surprising win, much as Truman defeated Dewey in 1948. But that is what I’m hearing through e-mails and phone calls, even though the polls are saying Obama is ahead in key states.

    Some Christian leaders are also predicting a nasty round of race problems and even riots over this election. Let’s pray that the predictions are wrong.

    I’m including an analysis by my friend Mike Evans on the effect that an Obama presidency would have on Israel and predicting he would sell out the Israelis as Jimmy Carter sold out the Shah of Iran in the 1970s. To read it, click here.

    Also at www.valuevotersusa.com there is a video worth watching and passing on. More than 750,000 have viewed it on YouTube in less than a week, and thousands of churches downloaded the video and showed it in their churches last Sunday.

    Finally, click here to read a report I received from a financial advisor I respect–Eric Reinhold–on the serious consequences financially if Obama takes us down the road to socialism. I will also include information from the Traditional Values Coalition questioning those who “groomed Obama” as a youth. You can read it by clicking here.

    The Stakes Couldn’t be Higher

    October 27, 2008

    With the upcoming elections 8 days away, satan has worked hard to deflect attention off of the real issue. This has been relatively easy through the economic meltdown and an unpopular war. Many Americans, including Christians, will vote based on these two issues. While these things are obviously important, they pale in light of the real issue—the Supreme Court.

    The cover story of USA Today, on Thursday of last week, spelled this out quite clearly. It stated that the real legacy of the next president won’t be the economy or the war, but the Supreme Court. The next president of the United States will appoint at least 2, and maybe 3, Justices in his first term. If he serves 2 terms, it could be 5 Justices—there are 5 of the 9 on the Court 70 years old or older! Since the trend is to appoint younger and younger Justices, the next president will most likely shape the court for the next 30-40 years! This means we are not voting only for a president, we are voting for the Court we want for the next generation! The vote we cast on November 4th will do more to shape the culture we give our children and grandchildren than any other vote of our lifetime! Perhaps some succinct bullet points will help us see this clearly:

  • Without question, no institution, organization, or agency has shaped the current culture of America in the last 50 years more than
    the Supreme Court. You don’t need millions of people, the majority in Congress, or the President to shape the culture of America. You
    only need 5 people—the majority of the Supreme Court. Five people can kill 50 million babies (the number aborted since Roe vs. Wade),
    legalize homosexual marriage, remove parental rights, put God out of schools and government, rob from us our godly heritage, etc.

  • It is now split—sometimes 5-4 toward life, family, morality, our godly heritage, the intent of our forefathers when they wrote the Constitution; sometimes 5-4 toward death, immorality, legislating their beliefs from the bench (though not their constitutional role or right, this is easy—they simply say the Constitution is a fluid, living document and therefore must be changed to accommodate the times), removing God from our nation, etc.

  • 2-3 Justices will retire over the next 4 years, their replacements chosen by the next president; possibly a couple more will step down 5 to 8 years from now, making it 5 potential Justices that could be appointed by the next president if he serves 2 terms. This will determine how the Court rules for a generation.

  • The first two Justices to go will almost certainly be Stevens who is 88 years old and Ginsberg who is 75 and ill. They are the two most liberal and are no doubt waiting to retire, hoping for a president that will replace them with 2 more liberals. These two replacements alone, if they are good, conservative judges could shift the Court toward righteousness for many years.

  • Conclusion: our vote this November 4th will be not for a president, not for the economy, not for ending our involvement in Iraq. Our vote will be for what we want America to look like 40 years from now!

    The ramifications of this are staggering! We are no doubt reaping great judgment now in America—diseases, family breakdowns, violence, a death culture, destructive weather, and much more—because of abortion alone…not to mention expelling God and His laws from our schools and government. I don’t know that we can survive another 40 years of this without completely losing our godly heritage and destiny. The economy will recover and the war will end no matter who is elected president—but this is not the case with the Court and the soul of this nation.

    If you don’t know where the candidates stand on the Court and the kind of Justices they would appoint, read the USA Today article. It makes their positions very clear. Share this information with every friend and acquaintance you have. And finally, pray like never before for God’s will to be done in this election. We CAN win this war and we MUST NOT lose this war. Pick up your word, go to war and let’s make history together.Here are some practical suggestions to consider:

  • 1.) Fast (a meal a day; a day this week; a Daniel fast; 3 days; TV; etc.) and spend the time praying.

  • 2.) Agree in prayer with someone everyday for God’s will to be done.
  • 3.) Hold nightly prayer meetings
  • 4.) Take time in every gathering to pray. (Take 15 minutes in every service to pray for the elections. Turn an entire service to harp and bowl style intercession—worship and prayer combined.)
  • 5.) Join 2 or more friends on a conference call and pray for 15, 20, or 30 minutes.
  • 6.) Pray on the way to work (and on the way home).
  • 7.) Pray before you go to sleep.
  • 8.) Pray before church services.
  • 9.) Ask God to give you His strategy—He will!

    From: Bonnie Davis – Urgent Prayer Request

    This message has been sent to you to alert you to specific spiritual warfare necessary for this great country, America. Thanks for your participation.

    Pastor Chuck & Arlyn

    … And now Isreal, what does the Lord your God requrire from you, to walk
    in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your
    heart and all your soul… Dueteronomy 10:12

    Dear Friends, Family, Prayer Warriors:

    I urgently request (challenge you as a nation) to join us in a spiritual
    maneuver against Satan’s war on our country. We must rise up against the
    enemy NOW!! Let’s pray for a Joshua miracle found in Joshua 6:1-21. The conquest
    was impossible for man but not impossible to God. Starting tomorrow, OCT
    29th, you have 7 (God’s number) days to join us in this battle. We need
    your help in making this happen. We must encamp around the enemy and bathe our
    nation in prayer. To do this, it is imperative that this prayer request
    will reach someone willing to participate in every state of the nation. It is
    important we stay distant to worldly things these next 7 days. To some
    of you this may sound foolish, but God’s obedience is a criteria. This is God’s
    plan amplified.

    LET’S RISE UP AS A NATION! Starting tomorrow, let’s band together for the
    next 7 days and pray for the walls of evil to come down in America .

    Joshua commanded his people not to shout or speak for 6 days…so we are
    asking that you pray a silent prayer each day for the next 6 days as you
    extend your hand (sword) toward Washington , DC .

    Please include in your 6 days of silent prayer:

    1. We, the people, stand firm on the words of our Constitution

    2. That people of integrity, high moral standards and a love for this
    country will be elected as President and Vice-President Nov 4th

    3. We, as a nation, will stand together, humble ourselves, pray, seek His
    face, give up our wicked ways, so that we can hear from heaven, be forgiven
    and our land will be healed.

    We ask that on the 7th day:

    An African Pastor’s Uncomfortable Warning to America

    This message has been sent to you to alert you to specific spiritual warfare necessary for this great country, America. Thanks for your participation.

    Pastor Chuck & Arlyn

    Source: fireinmybones.com

    Mbijiwe Mwenda says we are being naive to ignore Barack Obama’s ties to a dangerous Kenyan politician.

    Mbijiwe Mwenda is a voice crying in the wilderness—from the other side of the world.

    The Kenyan pastor, founder of Glory Cathedral Church in Nairobi, does not have a voice on CNN or Fox News. But he has been warning Christians during a recent visit to the United States that more is at stake in the 2008 election than anyone supposed.

    “Many Americans do not seem to realize the price that has been paid for your freedom,” Mwenda says. “I am afraid we are about to lose the America we have known in the past—the America that has been a hope for the world.”

    “Democratic presidential challenger Barack Obama has a cozy relationship with Raila Odinga, an avowed Marxist politician who now serves as Kenya’s prime minister.”

    Mwenda’s main concern: That Democratic presidential challenger Barack Obama has a cozy relationship with Raila Odinga, an avowed Marxist politician who now serves as Kenya’s prime minister. Obama, who made taxpayer-funded visits to Kenya in 2004, 2005 and 2006, campaigned for Odinga in 2006.

    During public appearances in Kenya, Odinga introduced Obama as his cousin. But later a family member denied that claim, saying that Odinga and Obama’s father, Barack Obama Sr., simply came from the same village. Both Obama Sr. and Odinga are from the Luo tribe, Kenya’s third largest.

    When Odinga ran for president of Kenya last year and lost by a slim margin, tribal violence erupted amid claims of voter fraud. About 150,000 people died (many were killed in machete attacks), hundreds of churches were burned and 600,000 villagers were displaced. The international community had to broker a peace deal, allowing Odinga to serve as prime minister while his opponent, Mwai Kibaki, was named president.

    Today, Odinga hopes that Obama will win the White House on Nov. 4 to boost support for his bid to become president of Kenya in 2012.

    Pastor Mwenda says he is amazed that Americans don’t seem concerned that Obama is tied to Odinga. He rattled off a list of facts that Charisma has verified:

    Odinga was trained in communist ideology in Europe and holds Marxist views. “He even named his son Fidel Castro,” Mwenda says.

    * He has obvious ties to Muslim interests and even received funding for his presidential campaign from Libya. Although he officially claims to be an Anglican, Mwenda says, “[Odinga] has been very sympathetic to Muslims and some say he is a Muslim secretly.”

    * Odinga fits in nicely with Arab leaders’ plans for Africa. When they convened in Nigeria in 2001, they released a statement indicating that Kenya is to play a key role in spreading Islam throughout southern Africa. Says Mwenda: “Odinga is a dangerous man. A dictator.”

    * Odinga has promised to enact Sharia law in “Muslim declared regions” of Kenya—meaning that pork would be outlawed, women could not drive and crimes would be punished according to Islamic tradition.

    So why did Obama campaign for Odinga? Independent journalists around the world have been asking that question since 2006. Paula Abeles of African Press International wrote in August: “Clearly Obama campaigned for someone who is corrupt, ruthless and has financial ties to terrorists. … Senator Obama’s actions—intentional or not—were in direct conflict with the efforts and interests of U.S. national security.”

    Many Kenyans are proud that a son of Kenya has a shot at the White House. But Kenya’s evangelical Christians are less enthusiastic. Like Mwenda, many of them are also troubled that Obama’s paternal grandmother has publicly stated that she sacrifices chickens and pours libations daily when praying for Obama to win the election. “She has been doing this since the [Democratic] primaries,” Mwenda says.

    “Something is about to go wrong in your country,” Mwenda warned me.

    I know many people who read my column will assume I am only writing it to boost John McCain’s chances at the polls next week. Some of my critics have also assumed that I must have racist tendencies if I am not voting for Barack Obama.

    They can assume what they want, but the truth is that I have made eight trips to Africa in the last seven years and it is my second home. I will return there in early 2009. If my situation allowed it I would move there permanently—I love the people, the culture and what the Holy Spirit is doing all over that beautiful continent.

    This week I did my own informal poll of African church leaders in Nigeria and Kenya. What I found was that none of them support Obama. Like many American Christians, they are staunchly pro-life, they defend traditional marriage and they certainly do not support politicians who don’t take the threat of militant Islam seriously.

    They have seen enough torched churches and amputated arms to know better. They have seen Christian children thrown into the bottom of wells to die. They have seen Shariah law cast a dark pall over whole regions. They have watched as Middle Eastern governments pour millions of dollars into their local economies to build mosques and infrastructure and to buy votes.

    I asked Pastor Mwenda how American Christians should pray in light of this sobering information. He told me: “I am praying that Obama does not win the White House. It is never too late for God. We can turn the tide. We need to pray: ‘Our Father, Who art in heaven, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’ We must not allow anything in this nation that is not in His will.”

    J. Lee Grady is editor of Charisma. Many people responded to his column last week, and to the column by Kimberly Daniels that he attached to his message. Daniels wrote a response to all who replied to her message. To read “A Response to the Critics,” click here.

    Most Urgent Prayer Request For American Elections 2008

    This message has been sent to you to alert you to specific spiritual warfare necessary for this great country, America. Thanks for your participation.

    Pastor Chuck & Arlyn

    From our friends in Pakistan praying for America:

    Hello! Greetings from Reverend Pervaiz Khokhar! Thank you so much for all of your prayers and loving support of our ministry and May
    God continues to bless you for your generosity! You are a matchless Blessing to our lives and the lives of countless others that you
    help us to reach for Christ!

    We know from the Word of God that God protects the defenseless and when we kill the innocent, judgment follows. May we as a nation
    be for life and not death of the innocent in the womb.

    The upcoming elections will determine who will choose the next two or three Supreme Court justices, setting the direction that our
    nation will go for years to come. Pray for the presidential elections. Pray that God will give us leaders who will nominate and confirm
    righteous judges to the Supreme Court who will defend and uphold life.

    Is. 1:26, “I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be
    called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.” 2 Chron. 19:5, 6, “Then he set judges in the land throughout all
    the fortified cities of Judah, city by city, and said to the judges, ‘Take heed to what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but
    for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment.’” Proverbs 22:28 “Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers
    have set.” Ps. 139:13, 15-16.

    Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night. Nehemiah 4:9
    Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
    For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matt 18:19-20).

    We invite and encourage as many of you as are able to join us Prayer for the Elections 2008. Individuals, families and prayer groups
    can join with us at any time during this 24 hour prayer period in your home or churches. We also encourage those who are prayer group
    leaders or pastors to have some type of corporate gathering where you can pray together for the election. This will be an encouragement
    to all of us as we stand on the wall of prayer together. “My House shall be called a House of Prayer.” Matt. 21:13 Many
    agree that never in recent history has the national media so risen up to influence an election in the favor of the side they prefer.

    The media elites in this nation have ridiculed the beliefs of ordinary Christian Americans. That which we hold dear has been maligned.
    Committed Christians are portrayed as zealots and bigots. These voices are meant to discourage and dishearten believers. We have prayed.
    Many of us have fasted. Now what? The word from the Lord is keep praying and don’t lose heart. There is an urgency as we draw near to
    the end of the election. God will hear the cry of those who cry to Him day and night.

    Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who
    did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
    And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow
    troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’” Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And
    shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge
    them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:1-8 What then
    shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us
    all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
    Romans 8:31-33

    How do we pray??????? Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for
    all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this
    is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
    1 Tim. 2:1-4! It is not only biblical to pray for our nation and our leaders, it is commanded. Paul instructs the early
    church, pray first of all for kings and all those in authority. The context of this prayer is to pray with thanksgiving.

    The purpose is so that our lives will be lived in tranquility and that men be saved through the free spread of the Gospel. This is
    the ultimate will of the Father – that men might be saved. When we pray, we are tapping into the power that supersedes the influence
    of any other force, including the media, fraud, greed and demonic powers arrayed against God’s people, His church.

    Proverbs 19:21 tells us, “There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.”
    There is a greater reality and greater influence to which we have access in our prayers to the Father than any of the plans of man.
    So we pray in these elections from the president down to our local leaders that we may live in freedom, peace and that the Gospel be
    spread.

    I believe the Spirit of God is encouraging us to continue to pray and vote:-

    1.) God delights in the prayer of the
    upright!!!!! The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.
    Prov. 15:8

    2). God responds when we call!!!!!!! The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. He will
    fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. Ps. 145:18-19

    3.) Come Boldly to the throne of Grace!!!!!!!! Let us therefore
    come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrew 4:16

    4.) Angels come in answer to prayer!!!!!!! And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak
    to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.
    Daniel 10:11

    5.) Confidence that He hears and answers!!!!!!!!!! Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that
    if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the
    petitions that we have asked of Him. 1 John 5:14-15

    6.) What God has Blessed, No Man can Curse!!!!!!!! Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose to make war against
    Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you. 10 But I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he continued to
    bless you. So I delivered you out of his hand. Josh. 24:9-10

    7.) God will be victorious!!!!!!! Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David
    and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the
    Lord of hosts will perform this. Is. 9:7 We see the power of prayer in the story of King Jehoshaphat. A vast army had
    come up to destroy God’s people. Things did not look very hopeful. In terms of the natural circumstances, certain defeat was staring
    them in the face (2 Chron. 20). And yet, we see that God certainly intervened on behalf of His people, turning defeat
    into victory. As God’s people assumed their rightful position, in intercession “seated with Christ in heavenly places”
    (Eph. 2:6), God caused them to triumph.

    We must exercise united faith in an AWESOME God, persevering in praise and worship, proclaiming His promise. He makes
    His people victorious. In this hour, on behalf of our children and our nation, let us turn more than ever to seek God as Jehoshaphat
    did. Let us rely on the power and ability of our great God to turn things around. We declare “the Kingdom will become His throne, and
    He shall reign forever and ever. We declare the Lordship of Christ over our great and blessed land – God bless the U.S.A.

    8. Prayer Focus for Elections!!!!!!!!

    a.) Jesus is Lord: Make the Lord awesome and mighty. Declare His rulership. Magnify the Lord and His power over the elections.

    b.) Pour Out Your Spirit: Ask the Holy Spirit to be poured out in the voting booths, touching the hearts and minds of Americans as
    they go to the polls to vote.

    c.) Pull the Lever: Pull the lever for God’s choice for President, Vice President, both Houses of Congress and local leaders and
    local referendums.

    d.) Release Angels: Release Holy Angels to guard the destiny and call of God over America. Loose Angels over every precinct and
    every voting booth in America.

    e.) Bind Fraud: Bind Fraud and loose the Spirit of Truth into every aspect of the election.

    f.) Break Enchantment: Break the spirit of manipulation and enchantment, bind the spirits of witchcraft and antichrist as we make
    a choice for the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces.

    g.) Protect the Unborn: The next president will determine the next justices for the Supreme Court. Pray that America will choose
    leaders who will nominate and confirm justices who will be strict constitutionalists, protecting the unborn.

    h.) Bless Israel: May God use these elections to be a blessing and strength to Israel. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the
    plans of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
    Psalm 33:12 “Lord gives us leaders such that it will be for your glory to give us the victory through them.”

    I pray that you are full of great grace and peace, and that God is protecting you, your ministry. I pray to God will give peace in
    your hearts, physical, Spiritual energy to continue your wonderful and hard work to fulfill your prayer ministry. I pray for you all
    that you have good health prosperity and your faith and hope in our savior Lord Jesus Christ will lift you up and bring you much joy
    daily life.

    May this shine on your prayer ministry and that you will know His blessing as you faithfully obey His word and divine purpose of
    your wonderful life. May the Lord bless you as you seek Him each day and are used for His glory!

    Yours Brother in Christ!

    Islamic 20 year plan – Is America Really Going to do This??

    *Twenty-Year Plan: Islam Targets America*
    *By Dr. Anis Shorrosh *

    *When we immigrated from Jerusalem, Jordan* in January, 1967, little did I
    imagine that Islam would become center-stage in world news. As my sincere
    interest in the growth of Islam in America intensified, I began to discuss,
    dialogue, and then debate Muslim leaders throughout the world from an Arab
    Christian’s view of Islam. So far, I have had the privilege of participating
    in over 20 debates and discussions on every continent plus T.V. And radio.
    “Islam Revealed” was released in 1988 and is now in its 8th printing. The
    True Furqan is now in its third printing in the three years it has been
    published. It is the only book which challenges the Quran in substance,
    style, language and contents. *

    *This is my analysis of the Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of
    Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020! Will
    Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were
    attacked on 9/11? *

    *1. Terminate America’s freedom of speech by replacing it with hate crime
    bills state-wide and nation-wide. *

    *2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse
    Jackson and other visible religious personalities to promote Islam as the
    original African-American’s religion while Christianity is for the whites!
    Strange enough, no one tells the African-Americans that it was the Arab
    Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves, neither the fact that in
    Arabic the word for black and slave is the same, “Abed.” *

    *3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in
    colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on
    the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like
    Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith. *

    *4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office for favorable
    legislation to Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting. *

    *5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the
    Internet by buying the corporations or a controlling stock. *

    *6. Yield to the fear of imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America – the
    black gold. America’s economy depends on oil, (1000 products are derived
    from oil), so does its personal and industrial transportation and
    manufacturing -41% comes from the Middle East. *

    *7. Yell, “foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime,
    Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran” anytime Islam
    is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena. *

    *8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with
    Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam.
    Acquire government positions, get membership in local school boards. Train
    Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and
    pharmaceutical companies. Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle
    Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. To connect planners of Islamization
    in a discreet way. Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are,
    when their countries need them more desperately than America? *

    *9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via: *

    *A. Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961) *

    *B. No birth control whatsoever – every baby of Muslim parents is
    automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later. *

    *C. Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000
    annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years – since one cannot
    have the Muslim legal permission to marry four at one time. This is a legal
    solution in America. *

    *D. Convert angry, alienated black inmates and turn them into militants (so
    far 2000 released inmates have joined Al Qaida world-wide). Only a few have
    been captured in Afghanistan and on American soil. So far – sleeping cells!
    *

    *10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American
    educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1500) should be
    sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There
    are 300 exclusively Muslim schools with loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S.
    Constitution. *

    *11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and
    universities in America to establish “Centers for Islamic studies” with
    Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher education institutions. *

    *12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local
    and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, not the truth, which
    is Islam hijacked the terrorists. Furthermore in January of 2002, Saudi
    Arabia’s Embassy in Washington mailed 4500 packets of the Quran, videos,
    promoting Islam to America’s high schools–free. They would never allow us
    to reciprocate. *

    *13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for
    sympathy and tolerance towards the Muslims in America who are portrayed as
    mainly immigrants from oppressed countries. *

    *14. Nullify America’s sense of security by manipulating the intelligence
    community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans of impending
    attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings
    and malls. (We have experienced this too often since 9-11.) *

    *15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic
    Sharia as the way of life, not American’s justice system. *

    *16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S. but use the funds to
    support Islamic terrorism with American dollars. *

    *17. Raise interest in Islam on America’s campuses by insisting that
    freshman take at least one course on Islam. Be sure that the writer is a
    bonafide American, Christian, scholarly and able to cover up the violence in
    the Quran and express the peaceful, spiritual and religious aspect only. *

    *18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic
    student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by internet
    and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and
    engender news in the media of their visibility. *

    *19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals
    who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook. *

    *20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the US by spotlighting their
    voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in
    America. *

    ** Jerusalem was held by Jordan from 1948 when it attacked Israel until
    1967, when it again attacked Israel. *

    *Dr. Anis Shorrosh, D.Min, D.Phil, and a member of Oxford Society of
    Scholars, has traveled in 76 countries. He is a Palestinian Arab Christian
    American, who is an author, lecturer and producer of TV documentaries. He is
    author of the best-seller “Islam Revealed” and his tenth book – “Islam: A
    Threat or a Challenge.” – was published in the spring, 2003. *

    *Say no to Islamofascism*

    When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, `A shower is
    coming,’ and so it turns out. And when you see a south wind blowing, you
    say, `It will be a hot day,’ and it turns out that way. You hypocrites! You
    know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you
    not analyze this present time? Luke 12:54-56*

    *Friends,

    Is America really going to do this, allow itself to be brainwashed by its
    enemies? Journalist Melanie Phillips says it all about the shocking,
    Orwellian spectacle of this disaster in the making. “It is that media class
    which, in refusing to tell the public what it needs to know about Barack
    Obama, may now finally install in the White House the man who personifies
    the repudiation of the American power and western values that the media and
    left-wing intelligentsia (of which the media is the mouthpiece) have
    themselves spared no effort to destroy these past seven years.”

    Absolutely true.

    Naomi
