Iraq war brings tears


When I read this post.. It brought tears to my eyes. I ask  God why?

My heart ached for the the persons friend, the boy and the mom in Iraq.

(The Post)
If ever asked why I oppose the wars in the middle east

I think of one my closest friends, he left for Iraq at 19 years old.

5 months into his deployment he calls me, I can here his

voice trembling and realize something is wrong.

I asked what happened and in the most terrified voice I've ever heard

he simply replied "I shot someone today, I killed them"

he told me the horrifying details of how he was on patrol,

came around a corner to see what was afterwards identified

as a child pointing a fake gun at him and how my friend

instinctively raised his weapon and fired.

My friend now suffers from PTSD, he has trouble sleeping at

night and has dangerous bouts of depression.

Likewise somewhere in Iraq a mother weeps for her child.

( End Post)

AS I prayed for healing and Peace, for the friend of the person  who made this post with PTSD,
and the person who made this post. And for all those who were broken hearted from this war and many other wars.

The Lord spoke in a soft and gentle voice.

"It was I she called out to, while she weept.

Many Sacrafices, or martyrs are made for the sake of my name.

My word must be preached to all the nations"

Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come

You see our soldiers who's feet were or are on the soil in Iraq.

Well they Were faithful to God.

They Prayed and read the bible.

Shared their testimonies with the Iraq people.

Becuase they were there in Iraq, that boy is in heaven with God.

That mom knows that one day Jesus will be ready to reunite them.

Thanks to our soldiers.



You see our soldiers treated the Iraq people with love, joy,

peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.

They shared the Good News with the people of Iraq,

sometimes without even knowing it.



I pray for all who read this that God will open your eyes.

so that you may see that  God has a purpose, even when we are not aware.


I pray that God will heal the soldier who has PTSD, in Jesus Name.


I suppose if God can do this in Iraq,  he can do it in Afganastan or any other place in this world.

May the Grace and Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Whitney Houston Journeys Home


Are you the cause of suffering or God’s instrument of healing?

All the fuss about Whitney Houstons death, brought me joy.
Hearing that she sang "Jesus Loves Me" was the last song she sang in public.
Was so sweet to me.
She attended church on Saturday before she went on her journey "home".


To see even the media having to profoundly mention her testimony of Christ brought
joy to me. Glory Be to God. Even while she is on her journey home, She is being a testimony
of the grace of God. Reaching across the earth.

Having family members, and friends bearing witness of her relationship with Christ.
And sharing their own relationships with Christ. Gives me great reason to "REJOICE"
This is evidence that God is bringing a life transforming truth of God’s Word
for all to see.


During the eulogy Pastor Marvin Winans, thanked Cissy Houston (Whitney's mother),
for having the service at New Hope. He Said "That took a lot of courage.
And because of that you brought the world to church today."
 

Boy did she ever, the news articles were all headlines about "her voice being like an angel"
"How her Journey home ends" "Funeral: Stories of faith, love" "Ashanti blown away by her kindness"
It was so nice to see the kindness and love that filled and sorounded her.


 1 John 4:11-12
 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
