The Elijah List is a regular publication I receive, and the one arriving today is quite relevant to things our President expressed last night.
It gives pause for thought and action, even admonishing us to not judge those who do not agree with our views.

It must be that
Each of us is one of His Works in Progress!!!

====================================================
As President Bush Spoke this evening of being comforted by the Prayers of thousands of people . . .
========================================================

Dear Elijah List Readers,

This list now goes to about 72,000 of you. Please forward this to as many of your friends as you can.

As Our President spoke tonight of being comforted by "thousands" (it's probably literally millions) who are praying for him regarding this potential war with Iraq, I thought of the UN'S resolution 1441 that everyone has talked about . . . the resolution which requires Sadaam Hussein to disarm or BE disarmed . . ..

---I don't know if I heard this somewhere or from someone else (maybe I did and can't remember from whom I heard it) . . . nevertheless, I was suddenly drawn to Psalm 144:1 (from Resolution 1441 -- God doesn't waste ANY word or any thought).

======================
Here is what it says:
======================

Ps 144:1
Blessed be the LORD my Rock,
Who trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle --
(NKJV)

I felt led to make this call to increase our prayers for President Bush in this hour!

Please forward this to all you know who love to pray for this country.

When the Lord is the ROCK of the King or the President . . .
When the Lord Trains his hands for War and his fingers for battle . . .
----this is what the Lord (among other things) includes in that training:

1) Brilliant strategies regarding how to overtake the enemy by surprise (Should we need to war with Sadaam Hussein)

2) A Sudden "uncovering" of the enemy's secret plots and vicious plans of attack, both in Iraq and on our USA soil

3) An exposing of accomplices who are not yet known--who are aiding Sadaam against the USA

4) A confusing of the enemy so that he fights against himself--rather than against the USA and her allies

5) Strategies which protect ALL innocents on both sides. In this case, our prayers should be that "IF" we MUST go to war, that the innocents in Iraq are completely protected and the soldiers who are following orders and acting righteously (on both sides) are also protected.

6) That all innocent civilians on U.S. Soil and those of our allies are protected supernaturally.

Pray Psalm 91 regarding the USA and our allies in conflict with Iraq, should war break out
Pray Psalm 144:1 regarding the USA and our allies in conflict with Iraq, should war break out

================================================
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THOSE WHO DISAGREE
=================================================

Good people "on both sides" will find themselves in disagreement with how the USA handles this situation. In Prayer, our job is not to judge those who disagree with our going to war (or not). For instance, we must NOT find ourselves criticizing, if a given celebrity is vocal against this war, while another may not be against it. Judgment on our part...as people who pray . . .judgment AGAINST those who disagree with our position (whatever it is) -- is NOT pleasing to the Lord. Confess your judgments against those who disagree and bless them in prayer. That WILL be pleasing to the Lord and will truly "be" Christian.

Pray for President George Bush...according to Psalms 91 (See www.ministriestothenations.org) and Psalm 144:1

Also, Yes, please forward this to your own lists and post on your own website(s). Others may subscribe to THE ELIJAH LIST by sending an email (to receive similar words and calls to prayer) to: subscriptions@elijahlist.com or by going to: http://www.elijahlist.com

Much food for thought ~ ~ ~

Thank you for your service, please also thank your sons for my family.

Thanks also for explaining the history of the blue star flags. I'll soon have one of them hanging in my window.

(my husband served in the Marines, and my middle son leaves soon...also the Marines)

Hope you have a wonderful day (-:

Good morning. Enjoyed the photos of you in your aqua coat at the D.C. Freep last weekend. Bless you for attending, cold weather, bad back and all.

Yes, you should hang a couple of yellow ribbons for your niece and nephew and encourage their parents to hang the blue star. Are they brother and sister or cousins?

My Nephew,Brian, is my brother's oldest son

My niece, Melissa, is my youngest sister's oldest daughter.

I heard from Angelwood that there was going to be a "human shield" demonstration at the White House by the DC chapter tomorrow.

I wish I could go, but we have overtime and I already made plans to work it and try to get extra money so I can attend more rallies.

Probably will miss you when you come on later today. Hope you get to "do a wedding soon" to offset all the funerals you have had lately....

Isaiah 58:6-12
"Is this not the fast which I choose,
To loosen the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the bands of the yoke,
And to let the oppressed go free
And break every yoke?

"Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry
And bring the homeless poor into the house;
When you see the naked, to cover him;
And not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

"Then your light will break out like the dawn,
And your recovery will speedily spring forth;
And your righteousness will go before you;
The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

"Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
You will cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.'
If you remove the yoke from your midst,
The pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness,

And if you give yourself to the hungry
And satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
Then your light will rise in darkness
And your gloom will become like midday.

"And the LORD will continually guide you,
And satisfy your desire in scorched places,
And give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.

"Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins;
You will raise up the age-old foundations;
And you will be called the repairer of the breach,
The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.

Thank you, Billie.

I almost forgot-I love the pledge graphic you chose today. Bet it brought memories to lots of Blue Star moms of when their boys were little and they played "soldier".....

To: g'nad; WVNan; All
May God richly bless you and yours, g'nad, for the understanding and spreading of the precepts that guide Christians in war situations.

These passages, in particular, bear repeating:

"And the LORD will continually guide you,
And satisfy your desire in scorched places,
And give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.

"Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins;
You will raise up the age-old foundations;
And you will be called the repairer of the breach,
The restorer of the streets in which to dwell."

Amen and Amen!!!
