God is answering as we cry out to Him about ISIS and its monstrous atrocities upon the Christians and other minorities in northern Iraq. The Iraq and Kurdish armies have managed to retake the Mosul dam, delivering ISIS its first defeat, thank the Lord! Let's continue to pray for the following:

1. That the international community and especially the USA will throw off all timidity and hesitation about taking the fight to ISIS in Iraq and their base in Syria and will fully engage with all their resources to utterly defeat and destroy this terrorist threat to the world.

2. That the new prime minister of Iraq, Haider al-Abadi, will be successful in uniting the Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish faction of the nation in a united front to fight and drive out the ISIS army. They have already retaken the Mosul dam so this is encouraging.

3 That the humanitarian aid effort will be well-coordinated and that there will be enough aid getting to the refugees in Kurdistan and other places to which they have fled for assistance.

4 That the powers of darkness and destruction controlling ISIS will be bound and driven from Iraq and Syria and that the Iraqi and Syrian Christians will be encouraged to continue praying with unity, faith and authority together. That ISIS soldiers will have visions and dreams of Jesus and give up their destructive course.
