Pray, Why pray? He did. He told those He had been with before and after His crucifixion to do the same. We have been instructed to do so also! We are told to "pray for our enemies". Who are our enemies? We are told to tell others about the Lord's love , the identification and acceptance into family, and the power He has to forgive our sin (
sin means we missed the mark). Without His redemption we are lost and lost eternally. Hell, damnation , forever torment and lost-ness is what we have and get without Him.
In this post 9/11 world it seems to me that so many of the woes we have experienced on 9/11 and after the same have to do with radical Islam. These woes I speak of are not just American or Western problems. You can find radical Islamic acts of terror and horror around the world over in the past eight years. The majority of radical Islam has come out of the Middle East and especially from Saudi Arabia.
I believe that what has happened across the world by these radicals has been horrible. The acts have been despicable acts of violence, even so are just the tip of the iceberg of what is to come if there is not a change in the heart's of the Saudi's. There is only one that I know who is a heart changer, and that is the LORD JESUS! He knows the heart of man that it is sick and wicked. He knows how to help, heal and then lead us the rest of our days, for He is the Good Shepherd! He Saves Us.
Who do you belong to? Are you saved? Are you lost? If you are saved,
Who prayed for you before you became born again? Did someone talk to you about Jesus?
Who pointed out that you needed help and only God could give you peace and love everlasting?
Who prayed for you? Who prayed for the one who helped you find the WAY?
What do you think your chances would have been in getting saved if you had grown up in Saudi Arabia? Do you think you would be saved now? Would you be dead and damned? Would you be lost and left to it! Would you be brought out of one of Satan's playgrounds- his strongholds? Would you be left to despair, social restrictions, binding traditions, unbearable lack of freedoms if you are female? Would you be lost in a male dominated world and you are a male who wants to be free? You too most likely would be lost and left with no way to change the way things are done, because the other men of the tribe you belong to would be watching your every step and action to see if you were holding up Islam or not.
You can be killed for leaving Islamic teachhings- man , woman or child. So what are their chances? How will they ever hear the truth? How will they have a shot at spiritual freedom, freedom to choose, freedom to live and follow the Good Shepherd?
The poison that has seeped out into the world from the epi-center of Islam is affecting us whether we like it or not, whether we want to admit it or not, whether we will open our eyes to the real needs of a lost and despised people or not. Radical Islam is growing! The world as we knew it pre 9/11 is gone! We are in a battle over freedoms now. All of our Freedoms are being challenged!
What can we do about this? I choose to pray! REAL Saudi's are lost and living in a kind of hell now, and unless there is intervention will surely be living in Hell after death. Please pray for them with me. We benefit as we pray not just in their Salvation , but in preserving life as we have known it with our freedoms in tact.
What's all this Goob Gob about prayer? Are you in or out? Take a few and pray!
