Last week I heard a news report on CBS where Scott Pelley interviewed the King of Jordan. The King speaks English, so I could understand what he said, not what an interpreter said he said. He told Mr. Pelley that we are in World War III. When asked why he said that, he said, "Isis is in many countries and they are causing trouble where ever they are. It is not just in the Middle East." He also said that Jordan is a Muslin Nation, but they are Muslims that are not a violent faith, that they are not against Christians or Jews. He said they have had to deal with the off shoots who are violent before. When Mr. Pelley asked what he mean, he said, "We had to stop them."
This is the first time I have hear the Jordan King, and was surprised that he spoke fluent English. He said at first they took in refugees, but stopped when they were taking over the jobs of his people. He said They are outside our borders, but we send them food and water, and help them in what ever we can.
In my estimation that is what we should be doing. This is what Mr. Trump has said, "Set up places in their country that are not in battle, and send them food & water & shelters there instead of flooding Nations with them.
As I also say, we need to pray, pray.
I have found this prayer and am praying it;
Father God, open our eyes.
We pray for those who are in the bondage of sin.
Open their eyes too. Do not let them continue to miss out on the far greater joys of this life, and even more importantly, on the eternal joy of heaven.
Save our Nation. Change the hearts of people. Protect our children and our families. Guide us in the up coming Election, and guide the crucial up coming court cases. Open the eyes of Your people, and help us to deliver this Nation back to Thee! For Christ's sake, and in His Name, we pray. Amen.
We have to realize we are in a really bad place in our Nation, and only Prayer and contrition for allowing our Nation to be turned away from God will turn it around and back "One Nation Under God!"
Sincerely,
Katie Holtel "
