"The Lord laughs at the wicked for he knows their day is coming." Ps 37:13

MONSOON FLOODING

Pakistan is going through some hard times, first with extreme heat with thousands dying. Now the monsoons have hit and there is heavy flooding across much of the country.  Several years ago we had extremely heavy flooding.  In the last two years Tarbala and Mangla (two of the largest dams in the world) have been very low with not enough water for irrigation.  Both dams are now full to within a foot of the top. And the monsoons are not over yet. To let the water go means even more flooding in the lower plains.  There are more than a million people who have lost homes, cities, livestock.  Fields are being swept away.  Our tribal people who live on the edge of the desert and perhaps get 1/2 inch of rain a year say their mud homes are standing in water and collapsing.  For those of you from the west, think of this - people have no insurance, no help.  When they lose everything, they become destitute.

PRAYER

  Ø Pray for those who have lost everything and are destitute.

  Ø Pray against the misuse of aid.  Al Qaeda is taking foreign aid and distributing it as aid from themselves.

  Ø The right control of the distribution of flood water.  The pirs are blasting river dams on the wrong side to save their demonic strongholds and diverting water to where large populations of people live.

THE FALL OF EVIL LEADERS- God works miraculously.

Jehoshaphat prayed when the enemy was upon them, and then went out and found that God had gone before them and destroyed the enemy.  Several of the most dangerous leaders in the world have been removed.

The Taliban announced that Mullah Omar has died - in a Pakistani Hospital about 2 years ago. They tried to keep it secret so that there would not be disunity in the group. The top contender to replace him is Maulana Akhtar Mansoor. In Pakistan the leader of the largest Taliban group along the Afghan border died this week.  He has been replaced by his son.

In Pakistan, let's turn our attention to A.Q. that works throughout the world. Malik Ishaq Gullani was killed when some of his people tried to rescue him from a police escort.  He and two of his sons were killed along with 15 others of his group.   He was one of the most dangerous  A.Q. leaders,  a genius in strategy. He was in on the planning of September 11; he planned the Mumbai attack in India; the list is endless in Pakistan and around the world.  He was in on starting the training school in Pakistan that sends thousands of terrorists around the world.  He also trained over 200,000 suicide bombers.

God says, "The Lord laughs at the wicked for he knows their days are numbered "

Like Jehoshaphat who brought the people together and first prayed, we also must do the same.   "Pray and I will hear and answer." PRAISE God that these leaders in the T. and A.Q. have been removed by God. PRAY as there is tremendous infighting in these groups as to who will take their place. PRAY that like the enemies of Jehoshaphat they will fight amongst themselves and destroy each other.

Thank you for praying.  These are miraculous answers to prayer.

Continue to PRAY for four areas of the country we have been praying for- that prayer might be built up and that they might go into these strongholds and pray and see God bring them down with the terrorist leaders.
