SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST FOR US TROOPS IN IRAQ
SPECIAL REQUEST FROM DBC MEMBER LYLE SHACKELFORD,
SERVING AS A CHAPLAIN WITH U.S. ARMY UNIT IN
IRAQ:
As a transportation battalion, my unit will be
delivering the voting machines and the ballots to
villages and cities throughout Iraq during the
upcoming elections. (January 30/31, 2005) Our
convoys are prime targets for the insurgents because
they do not want the equipment to arrive at the
polling stations nor do they want the local Iraqi
citizens to have the chance to vote; timely
delivery must occur so that the elections occur.
Encourage your friends and family members and those
within our churches to pray specifically for the
electoral process. Historically, the previous
totalitarian regime would not allow individual citizens
to vote. Democracy will not be realized in Iraq
if intelligent and competent officials are not
elected to those strategic leadership positions
within the emerging government; freedom will not have
an opportunity to ring throughout this country if
the voting process fails.
\r\n
Announce \r\nthis prayer request to your contacts
throughout your churches, neighborhoods, \r\nand
places of business. Those with leadership roles
within the local church post \r\nthis message in
as many newsletters and bulletins as possible.
There is \r\nunlimited potential for God\'s presence
in this process but if we do not pray \r\nthen
our enemy will prevail (See Ephesians 6:10-17)
\r\nA prayer vigil prior to the end of the month may
be an innovative opportunity \r\nfor those within
your sphere of influence to pray. This is a
political battle \r\nthat needs spiritual
intervention. A powerful story about God\'s intervention in
\r\nthe lives of David\'s mighty men is recorded
in 2 Samuel 23:8-33. David and his \r\nwarriors
were victorious because of God\'s intervention. We
want to overcome \r\nthose who would stand in the
way of freedom. David\'s mighty men triumphed
over \r\nincredible odds and stood their ground and
were victorious over the enemies of \r\nIsrael.
\r\n(Iraqi
insurgents\' vs God\'s praying people). They
don\'t stand
a \r\nchance.
I will pray with my soldiers before they leave on
their convoys \r\nand move outside our
installation gates here at Tallil. My soldiers are at the
\r\nnerve center of the logistic operation to
deliver the voting machines and \r\nelection ballots.
They will be driving to and entering the arena of
the enemy. \r\nThis is not a game for them it is
a historical mission that is extremely
\r\ndangerous. No voting machines or ballots. No elections.
Your prayer support and \r\nGod\'s intervention
are needed to give democracy a chance in this war
torn \r\ncountry. Thank you for reading this
e-mail. Please give this e-mail a wide
\r\ndissemination. Thank you for your prayer support for me
and my family. \r\nStand firm in your
battles.",1]);//-->fails.
