Please Pray With M

 




 

“1 In my distress I cried to the Lord,
And He heard me.
Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips
And from a deceitful tongue.

What shall be given to you,
Or what shall be done to you,
You false tongue?
Sharp arrows of the [a]warrior,
With coals of the broom tree!

Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech,
That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
My soul has dwelt too long
With one who hates peace.
am for peace;
But when I speak, they are for war.

Psalm 120

 

It looks like the Warmonger Netanyahu is going to get his Iranian war, as many Warmongers in the US also want it. They appear to have been able to push the Trump administration to the threshold of a serious war with Iran.

“A large wave of American airpower is heading toward the Middle East to bolster forces already there as U.S. President Donald Trump considers an attack against Iran. Online flight trackers are showing F-22 Raptors, F-16 Fighting Falcons, E-3 Sentry radar planes and a U-2 Dragon Lady spy plane either in transit across the Atlantic or newly arrived in Europe. In addition, a seventh Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer, the USS Pinckney, has recently deployed to the U.S. Central Command Area of Responsibility (AOR) as well, a U.S. Navy official told us.

While we don’t know whether Trump will decide to attack Iran, these are exactly the movements we’ve been expecting, but so far not seeing, in advance of a sustained operation, both defensive and offensive. The U.S. aircraft heading east represents the most intense phase of a force plus-up that began after Trump started threatening Iran over its harsh treatment of anti-regime protesters. Taken together, the force now assembling in the Middle East, combined with the Israel Air Force’s capabilities, including hundreds of fighter aircraft, as well as USAF ‘global airpower’ bomber flights, would be enough for a major operation that could last weeks not days. We will likely see additional assets deploy in the coming days.”[1]

I say it looks like they are getting the war they want, because Trump has shown he can be unpredictable to both enemies and allies. This could all just be posturing to threaten Iran to cave in to a deal. But history shows threats can often turn into fights. So, we will have to wait and see what happens.

However, all of the necessary assets are being moved into place. The propaganda campaigns in our own country and across the West are seeking to tell people this is about "democracy" and "Peace through strength" and how these country destabilisers are different this time (they aren't). The Christian Zionists are chirping loudly about how this is a prophesied confrontation (it is not).

It all looks to be coming together. Just as many want it too.

Yes, the Iranian regime is bad. No doubt. But when has any US intervention in the Middle East succeeded in creating a more stable country? Christians are currently suffering more than ever in Syria, as a result of a past intervention.  

We can debate back and forth here about how evil or necessary this is (it is evil by the way).

But I want to invite you all to appeal upstairs with me. Pray that our Lord and God frustrates the plans of the warmongers. Pray that he turns their plans into snares. Pray that the evil forces wanting to bomb the country where the Church is growing the fastest in the world, would be halted. Pray that those who cheer on such wars will be rebuked and shamed. Pray that God opens up Iran through the spread of his gospel, not the poorly employed use of foreign interventions.

Who knows what God might do?
