Belize City House of Prayer Alert: Iran's Islamic Regime Faces Fall Attack from Israel & Christian Revival
By: George Ferrar - Tree of Life Ministries, Belize
On August 13 Breitbart reported that both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have called for pre-emptive attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities this Fall due to Iran's increasing capacity—as well as its repeated intentions—to destroy Israel. On August 17, which was International Quds Day in Iran, responded according to WND “every regime official from the supreme leader and president to military commanders openly called for the annihilation of Israel.” Quds Day is an annual Islamic event devoted to the destruction of Israel and its takeover by Palestinian Arabs.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the most recognizable figure in Iran, said on Quds Day that the “Zionist regime will disappear from the landscape of geography.” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's second most recognizable figure, said, “The Zionist regime and the Zionists are a cancerous tumor... With the grace of God and help of the nations, in the new Middle East there will be no trace of the Americans and Zionists.”
Iran's third most recognizable figure is, surprisingly enough, “the Billy Graham of Iran,” Pastor Hormoz Shariat, because of the popularity of his TV show accessed by satellite. More than 60% of Iranian homes possess illegal satellite dishes, and millions are watching his show. “The present regime is terrified of the transformative power of the Gospel among the Iranians,” according to Joel Richardson, author of The Islamic Antichrist. Due largely to widespread disenchantment with Iran's Islamic regime, Richardson says “the nation of Iran is presently experiencing the greatest Christian revival in the world.” There have been millions of conversions in the past few years, especially of youth, despite the death penalty for apostasy from Islam to Christianity.
PRAY WITH US: Father God, You hold the world in Your hands, for the earth is the Lord's and everything in it. We thank You for sending us Your Son Jesus, who is the desire of the nations. We thank You for choosing the nation of Israel to be a blessing to all nations. You have allowed Israel to be hardened to the gospel so that the fullness of the nations can come into Your kingdom. That fullness includes hundreds of millions who are presently Muslims. We praise You for reaching some of those millions in the nation of Iran, and pray that You will reach many more in Iran and the Mideast, where Islamic leaders are not only cursing Israel but plotting its destruction.
We pray that You will totally disable Iran's nuclear capacity, by supernatural or other means, before Iran has the ability to strike, so it will no longer be a threat to Your chosen nation. To the extent that You allow this to be done by Israeli weapons, we ask that You spare human lives so that they may be saved. We ask that God arise, and that His enemies be scattered, and that none of His enemies' weapons would prosper. We call for a regime change in Iran, so that Your new children there may live in peace in a nation open to the Gospel. Let Christians in Iran be witnesses to Islamic nations throughout the world that Jesus, Your Son, has all authority in heaven and on earth now and forever. In Jesus' name, Amen.
