May God be with them
Luke 22:35-38:
35 Jesus asked them [the eleven apostles], “When I sent you out without a purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “No, not a thing.”
36 He said to them, “But now the one who has a purse must take it, and likewise a bag. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.
37 For I tell you, this scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered among the lawless’; and indeed what is written about me is being fulfilled.”
38 They [the disciples] said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”
“It is enough,” he replied.
Apparently globull warming is more important to them and the Pope.
Prayers could be used for those believers who are bravely taking a stand against ISIS.
BTTTT
And Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” And he led them to Samaria.
As soon as they entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” So the Lord opened their eyes and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. As soon as the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “My father, shall I strike them down? Shall I strike them down?” He answered, “You shall not strike them down. Would you strike down those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master.” So he prepared for them a great feast, and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the Syrians did not come again on raids into the land of Israel.
Absolutely. Thank you for the ping.
Great Bible passage. Thanks for posting it.
Praying for these saints.
My prayers up for the safety of these amazing people. Thankfully the Kurds are guarding them and not those craven Iraqi arabs.
I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ’s heralds to publish this everywhere and to perse all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it is meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it
O Lord, save Thy people,
and bless Thine inheritance!
Grant victory to the pious Christians
over the barbarians
and by virtue of Thy cross,
preserve Thy commonwealth.
I pray that the hearts and mind of the terrorists are softened and they come to see the error of their ways.
Amen to every word of your anointed prayer.
Good luck with that!
I've got nine from SC that could have made that claim; too!
Then there are the folks in Hebrews ...
Chapter 11:33-40
33 Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners:
35 Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection.
36 And others had trial of mockeries and stripes, moreover also of bands and prisons.
37 They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted:
38 Of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, in mountains, and in dens, and in caves of the earth.
39 And all these being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise;
40 God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us.
Well; I've no hand grenades, as I'd blow myself up due to a really weak throwing arm!
But I CAN reach out and touch someone a long, LONG way off!
Here we go!!
I've got 7 churches in ASIA that the Catholics evidently do NOT consider to be 'holy'.
I think John mentioned them long, long ago...
Personally blessed by Francis hisself!!!
Amen.
Excellent article. Thanks for sharing. Where do we get airline tickets to add to the ranks of these brave men?
