When l was praying this morning l was thinking of all the sweet smells in the air (l love the morning best) I was thinking how greatly the sense of smell increases when l fast and then l remembered it was Friday and the email a friend had forwarded to me. I'm glad it's Fiday.

I began to pray that God would send his Holy Spirit into these terrorist training camps...l prayed with my heart. Then a funny thing happened....It was like something in the darkness opened it's eyes... and l had the strangest feeling...

We should all pray together....



A MOST SOLEMN CALL TO BELIEVERS WORLDWIDE
TO FAST ON EVERY FRIDAY TO CONTAIN ISLAMIC TERRORISM

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of
injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and
break every yoke?" - Isaiah 58:6

(Daystar International, Israel; Capitol Hill Prayer Partners) An intercessor
living in Israel has written: "Early in the morning before the July 7
bombings in London, sleep eluded me. The Lord said solemnly, "I am calling
you to call my people to fast and pray every Friday to contain Islamic
terrorism." The same morning, a brother in Baghdad who is translating into
Arabic my book, "The Jesus Visions: Signs and Wonders in the Muslim World,"
emailed me concerning Islamic terrorism. He quoted Jesus in Matthew 17:21:
"This kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting." We covenanted to
obey the heavenly call and to add regular fasting to our prayers on Fridays.
Within a few hours the call to fast was confirmed by the coordinated attacks
on London transport; the subsequent failed attempts of similar coordinated
attacks in London encourages us that disasters can be diverted through
prayer and fasting.

"For many years many of us have been praying and fasting individually for
the Moslem people, but the Islamic world is no longer a "special interest
group" of concern to just some believers in the Church. The threat of
Islamic terrorism has now become the concern of every true worshipper of the
God of Israel. In Derek Prince's book, "Shaping History Through Prayer and
Fasting," he stated that there are some answers we never obtain until we add
fasting to our prayers.

Friday is the day that much hatred, violence and blood-thirsty rhetoric is
fomented in fundamentalist mosques around the world. The Lord's solemn call
to fast and pray is not intended to extend into the Sabbath day of rest,
which begins Friday evening at mealtime, but is intended to consist of
afflicting our souls with fasting during breakfast and/or lunch on Fridays
as a way of humbling ourselves and to entreat His mercy corporately. Islamic
terrorists crave a "Hiroshima" upon their enemies. In Israel, a fence can
deter some terrorism, but in most nations we cannot build a wall to protect
ourselves from sleeper cells. Nevertheless "The weapons of our warfare are
not physical but are mighty through God for the pulling down of
strongholds." The weapons of corporate prayer and fasting can bring victory
and delay divine judgments in this time of great peril. Corporate fasting is
part of the process of humbling ourselves that is being required by Heaven.

"If My people who are called by My name [YHVH, not Allah] shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal
their land." - 2 Chronicles 7: 14

Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to participate in this Prophetic Summons
during these strategic hours on Fridays: perhaps forfeit one meal, two
meals, perhaps a partial fast. But do something by faith to be a part of
this corporate response to Heaven.

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew
himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. (2
Chronicles 16:9) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals his
secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7)

Good idea Miki. Lets have a weekly reminder on Thursdays ok?

I think it is a great idea too. I'd like to hear people's experiences on fasting and what it has done in their lives. Also, some biblical scripture on why fasting is important would be informative to us all.

Thanks!

I will join in this effort!!!

Two weeks into a 40 day Daniel fast and my LONG hold out hubby was saved. FASTING WORKS.

I will join you in pray against terrorism.
Marta try this link for pray and fasting teachings http://www.awmi.net/extra/article
apologies for not knowing how to URL it so you can go straight their!!
For what it is worth when i fast i pray that God sustains me with His word..( it says somewhere.the word is health and healing to all our flesh)..so in faith i believe my body is sustained by reading the word especially when i feel hungry...it works!!
I've done daniel type fst (only did it for seven days..lost 8pounds in weight!!)but just gone off sweet things, luxeries crisps, fatty things and just had two meals a day...breakfast/lunch big dish of homemade muilsli and fruit...tea big plate of salad with tin of oily fish or slices of meat..no bread or potatoes or any hot food. in between squash and cups of tea with honey....The main thing i found is concentrating the mind on God and His word not on fleshy things....it's the time spent with Him that makes the breakthroughs ..the relying on Him and not self etc
Hope it helps
Mark

Thanks for the link Mark! When you said 'crisps', I thought that was odd and assumed...oh...you are from the U.K!!! ~~ duh. Excuse my ignorance, is that like chips (potato, doritos)?

Yes I will join the fast every Friday to contain this global terrorism, not simply Islamic terrorism, but worldwide global terrorism against the innocent people in our cities and a prayer for our beloved soldiers -including Godsoldier of course!!

Miki,
Nice Bible quote!!

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of
injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and
break every yoke?" - Isaiah 58:6

I too will join in this , God's peace to you all and yes a Thursday reminder would be a good thing
