We thank You Lord for giving us such as these. . .truly You have blessed us!!! Please Jesus, Totally Cover them in Your Love and surround them in blankets of our prayers, be with their families and their precious little ones. Grant also an abundance of Your Wisdom along with Your Perfect Peace which surpasses all understanding! We also ask that revival would spring forth from the trials they are going through, to Your Eternal Glory!!!Abba Father we ask that You place a SUPERNATURAL SHIELD all about them!! Isaiah the Prophet told us "the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard". Oh, LORD God, how we Praise You!!!

JESUS, we come now against the evil that would take the lives of the innocent! We ask that the enemy be confounded, may his plans be filled with confusion, mistakes and mishaps!!! May his hidden evils be uncovered in YOUR LIGHT!!! May his weapons of hate misfire, backfire and fall apart in his own hands!!We also pray for our president and all of our officials, Firemen and Policemen, we pray Lord that You would Grant them of Your Wisdom, fill them with peace, give them strength as needed and draw each and every one into Your Arms of love!

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
children of God."
--Matthew 5:9

This is the seventh of the beatitudes: and seven was the number of perfection among the Hebrews. It may be that the Savior placed the peacemaker the seventh upon the list because he most nearly approaches the perfect man in Christ Jesus. He, who would have perfect blessedness, so far as it can be enjoyed on earth, must attain to this seventh benediction, and become a peacemaker. There is significance also in the position of the text. The verse which precedes it speaks of the blessedness of "the pure in heart: for they shall see God." It is well to understand that we are to be "first pure, then peaceable." Our peaceableness is never to be a compact with sin, or toleration of evil. We must set our faces like flints against everything which is contrary to God and His holiness: purity being in our souls a settled matter, we can go on to peaceableness. Not less does the verse that follows seem to have been put there on purpose. However peaceable we may be in this world, yet we shall be misrepresented and misunderstood: and no marvel, for even the Prince of Peace, by His very peacefulness, brought fire upon the earth. He Himself, though He loved mankind, and did no ill, was "despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." Lest, therefore, the peaceable in heart should be surprised when they meet with enemies, it is added in the following verse, "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Thus, the peacemakers are not only pronounced to be blessed, but they are compassed about with blessings. Lord, give us grace to climb to this seventh beatitude! Purify our minds that we may be "first pure, then peaceable," and fortify our souls, that our peaceableness may not lead us into cowardice and despair, when for Thy sake we are persecuted.

Just a short note on the "Peacemakers" and "Peace "

The "peacemakers"are those who have been reconciled to God They have peace with Him through the cross We are reconciled only by believing that Jesus is God , and being baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38)

The Hebrew word for "peace" is "shalom". It denotes far more than the absence of war and conflict; the basic meaning of shalom is harmony, wholeness, soundness, well-being, and success in all areas of life. It can refer to tranquility in international relationships, such as peace between warrior nations (e.g. 1 Samuel 7:14) Peace can also be seen as wholeness and harmony in human relationships, both inside the home and outside the home. Peace can refer to to one''s personal sense of wholeness and well-being, a being free from anxiety and at peace within our own souls. (Ps. 4:8; 119:165)and with God (Rom 5:1)

Merely knowing that Christ came as the Prince of Peace does nto mean that peace will automatically become part of our lives. to experience peace requires that we be obedient to the Word of God , that not only do we believe that Jesus is God and God's name is Jesus but that we follow in baptism in Jesus name and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Then we must walk in obedience to His commandments and endure to the end.

If we obey the Lord in everything we will know the peace of God even in the midst of persecution and the strorms that rage around us Praise the Lord!

God bless

At this writing its been 10 months since anyone has posted anything on this thread. We are still at war. As I read the sisters prayer I know that the Lord has heard it and is doing all that she prayed for. Thank you so much for standing behind our sons and daughters in your prayers. My son-in-law left this country last Apr. and now will be due home in a few months, lyr of his life over in Iraq to help protect his country. I wish to thank the others who was listed in the other threads for their sacrifice too. I was relieved after we had stopped bombing over there, for our only son was there then. He is home and still backslid, which saddens this mothers heart. I was praying that the war would have changed him but, the Lord knows what it will take to get him back. I pray that our prayers will not cease for all those that are still there and for their families that they have left behind. For it has been a rough road for them too. Our daughter had just had their lst child when her husband had to leave, the baby was 3mos old and now is 13mos old. She is away from home with no one close to her. She's been a brave young women with the Lord on her side. Thank you all again for your prayers and support of our troops.
