I say, " Let's Praise God for Victory in Iraq!"

I am very disturbed about the comment made by one of our U.S senators this past week. He came out and said, "We have lost the war in Iraq." Now I realize he is of the opposite political party as the president and the battle between the two parties is always very disturbing to watch...

but...

Why have we as Christians not seen this as a spiritual battle? Why have we not risen up in prayer and said, "No Satan! You will not take this land! You have ruled it for a long time, but that time is over! Our God is more powerful and you were already defeated at the cross!" No matter if you are a democrat or a republican, if you are a Christian... this is a spiritual battle!

Do we realize (well, I actually didn't until I learned history through kindergarten homeschooling - imagine that) that Iraq is where the Garden of Eden was? This was where sin first entered the world; where the tower of Babel was built where men thought they could reach God, and God punished them. It is where Babylon was (a kingdom that ruled over Isael) that is mentioned in the endtimes prophesy... and if we do not see insurgents and the ones who are killing anybody and everybody through horrific bloodshed, including the innocent, as evil I don't know what evil is.

So if God is more powerful, and we are his people, and our men and women are over there fighting, and we are not on our faces before a holy God continually fighting the spiritual battle through praying and fasting expecting them to win, what is the point of having the power of God within us?! We are winners through Christ, and our nation is a nation blessed by God.

So I say let's pray people! Let's fall on our faces together continually so that we can help a nation defeat evil, and protect us and the rest of the world from this evil entering our country again. Let's pray for these poor Iraqi's who are going to live in this if we do lose this "war". We in America at least have the opportunity to hear the gospel. Most people in Iraq will never have this opportunity.

Let's pray like we have never prayed before! Let's pray for victory! Victory and protection for our troops and for the innocent Iraqi's. Let's pray for confusion among the ranks of terrorists like happened so many times in scripture when God's people won in crazy ways where they started killing each other; where a wall would fall when the believers shouted and praised God at the top of their lungs. Let's shout unto God for victory! Our country is worth it. Our troops are worth it, and our God is definitely worth the glory of victory even in a war that some say "is lost." Let's show them who our God is and who really has the power... it is not them, it is us.
