(2 Corinthians 10:4) says, " For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds."

Prayer is an invisible tool which is wielded in a visible world.  There is a story I want to share with you.  Both a major thoroughfare in Tel Aviv and a bridge that spans the Jordan River are named in honor of Viscount Edmund Hyndman Allenby, a British soldier.  As commander of the Egyptian Expeditionary Forces, he outwitted and defeated the Turks in Palestine in 1917 and 1918, conquering Jerusalem without ever firing a single gun.  As a British soldier, Allenby was noncommittal about the official British policies concerning the establishment of a Jewish National Home, but he did have a deep understanding of the Jews' desire to dwell in Palestine.

At a reception in London, he once told how as a little boy, he had knelt to say his evening prayers, repeating with his childhood lisp the words his mother prayed: "And, O Lord we would not forget Thine ancient people, Israel; hasten the day when Israel shall again be Thy people and shall be restored to Thy favor and to their land." Allenby concluded, "I never knew then that God would give me the privilege of helping to answer my own childhood prayers."

What you pray today may very well be part of tomorrow's work. The world you envision in prayer may very well be the world in which you one day live.

Father God, I thank you for your blessings, and I ask you to let me do what I need to do today, to serve you.  Help me to be a witness for you today.  Father, I ask you to set up a standard of protection for Rose Boyd and everyone she is with today.  In Jesus Name I Pray Amen and Amen

Joyfully, In The Master's Service
