Ephesians 6:12:  "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Job 22:27-28:  27  "Thou shalt make thy prayer unto Him, and He shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thou vows.  28  Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee:  and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

 

Strategic Prayer for At-Risk Countries

 

Article by IPC Connections

 

In 2014 the Coalition forces will pull out of Afganistan.  It is possible that the violen Taliban reel movement and other Islamic radicals will gain more control over Afganisgtan at that time.  These groups could also subvert Pakistan, which is nuclear weapons capable of threatening India, the West, and other parts of the world.

 

The International Prayer Council is launching a year-long prayer focus for 2013-2014, asking Christians around the world to prafy for the dissolution of the Taliban and the restoration off Afghanistan and Pakistan.  The International Prayer Council hopes for a massive response from the Body of Christ to ask God for His deliverance of both these strategic countries from the threat of the Taliban and radeical Islam.

 

Prayer points include:

 

1.  For God to raise up intercessors from around the world whowill intercede during this time.

 

2.  For the Taliban and other radical groups to be thrown into confusion and not allowed to advance in their violence - and that leaders will be removed or caught by Coalition forces.

 

3.  For the fear of God to fall on leaders so that they will convert to Christ.

 

4.  For Pashtun tribal leaders in Afghanistan to forbid the Taliban to operate in their territory - and actually start opposing them.

 

5.  For President Karzai of Afghanistan not to give in to Taliban demands.

 

6.  For a moderate party to win elections in Pakistan and spare the country from radical Islam and Sharia law.

 

7.  For the small population of Christians not to be afraid, but rather to be emboldened by the Holy Spirit to stand up in faith and strongly pray for their own countries.

I would also request that everyone pray that President Obama of the United States will support Israel and break all ties to Muslim countries as well as stop funding Musilim countries with taxpayer money.  To stop his administration's pursuit of Muslim leaders and his trying to change the U.S. into a Muslim country.

 

Thank you for your prayers.
