Brothers and sisters let us gather together in prayer for the nations amenn as we know Afflictions become blessings when they cause us to turn to the LordWe too need to be reminded daily to incline our heart to the Lord by staying faithful to His word and His ways. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him (Psalm 103:13). So don’t give up. We need to recognize that God loves to forgive. Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven (Matthew 18:22). But the undesirable fact is, wasted years of opportunity cannot be relived. Therefore, we must strive to use our time to the glory of God. Lets not waste years that could be used to build Gods kingdom. Jesus said: I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work (John 9:4). LORD we come boldly to your throne and pray for Country: Latvia (3 million) eastern coast of Baltic Sea in northeastern Europe • Major languages: Latvian and Russian • Religious freedom • 20% Protestant; 20% Roman Catholic; 15% Russian Orthodox; 1% Jewish • Confess wrongs you have committed to the Lord and to those whom you have hurt; ask for forgiveness (Matthew 5:23-24) Faith increases as we read -then act upon- Gods Word, enabling us to claim His promises. We pray ye come out from among them, and be ye separate (II Cor. 6:17) LORD JESUS WE PRAY FOR Country: Laos (5 million) in Southeast Asia • Major languages: Lao and French • Great suppression of all Christian activities • 58% Buddhist; 33% belief in spirits and ancestor worship; 2% Christian; 1% Muslim •Pray that God will move His people to give faithfully to His work (Malachi 3:8-10) . If ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange (foreign) gods, then He will . . . do you hurt (bring disaster), and consume (destroy) you, after that He hath done you good. . . . Now therefore put away . . . the strange gods which are among you, and incline (yield) your heart unto the Lord God of Israel (Josh. 24:19-20,23). Unbelief produces unrest, inward conflict and distress. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom (Ps. 90:12). See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time (Eph. 5:15-16; Col 4:5) Country: Kyrgyzstan (5 million) eastern central Asia • Major languages: Kirghiz and Russian • Religious freedom: 60% Muslim; 11% Russian Orthodox; .8% Protestant/Roman Catholic •Can you say you are ready for the Lord’s coming (Malachi 3:2)?The Lord gives grace and blessings to those with a humble Spirit: he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.... Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up (James 4:6-7,10).Pray for Country: Kirabati (86,000) 3 islands in southwestern Pacific • Major languages: English and Gilbutese • Religious freedom • 52% Roman Catholic; 44% Protestant; 2% Baha’i • : Ask the Lord to make you willing to go wherever He wants to send you (Isaiah 6:8 Compromise is never a good substitute for obedience . Lord JESUS deliver your people we pray a deliverer upon whom the Spirit of the Lord rested (Judges 3:9-11). The Spirit of God was also upon Christ, our Deliverer (Matthew 3:16). There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob (Romans 11:26). Jesus declared: The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me . . . to preach deliverance to the captives (Luke 4:18) : I brought him word again as it was in mine heart (14:7). We are sometimes afraid to speak about our faith when our convictions are unpopular; but the person blessed of God speaks what is in his heart on spiritual issues. Those who have their hearts fixed on the Lord and trust in His Word are not afraid to speak out or move forward to accomplish the Lord’s will regardless of what others say or do. As an example those who witnessed Pauls circumstance and were waxed confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear (Phil. 1:14) The spirit reminds us that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). The truly blessed are faithful to God. Yes, most of us will face giant “Canaanite” difficulties in life as well as friends who attempt to discourage us. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Rom 8:35). We can be assured that when opportunities arise to witness for the Lord the Holy Spirit will give you the words to speak. And when they bring you unto the synagogue; and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you the same hour what ye ought to say (Luke 12:11-12). Since we are greatly influenced by those with whom we associate, we need to choose friends that will lead us closer to the Lord. Let us join together and lead others to the TRUTH . Christ crucified and the promise of salvation . The God of mercy and FAITHFULNESS be with u all amen .
