Pray for Romania


Week of July 16-22,2012

Earlier this year Zuzanna and I were introduced by email to a man who has given a lot of time and resources to shipping relief items into Romania; clothing, food, medicine, medical devices, etc. This past weekend Zuzanna and I plus a couple that have been our mentors, Dale and Linda Hood, drove down to Louisiana to meet him. It was a pleasure to meet Johnny Huffman and his wife Sissy. To hear the stories of how God provided the relief items, how the finances came in to ship containers, to see their warehouse and how they process the relief items was just amazing. Over and over they gave glory to God as they told of miracle after miracle. It is amazing what God will do through those that are willing to go the extra mile.



Matthew 5:41

And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.


Johnny Huffman has shipped 71 containers of relief items to Romania in the past 15 years. He even sent a tractor one time. These things were not sent to the government but mainly to Romanian churches and ministries to be given to the Romanian people in the name of Jesus.


1) Let us celebrate Johnny and Sissy Huffman for their loving hearts. (By the way, their main ministry is taking care of orphans and they presently have ten children) Lord, we ask for your continual blessings upon their lives.

2) Johnny is planning to ship another container to Romania in October. Let us pray for the contents, finances for shipping, and an overall covering of angels to make sure each item gets to a soul in need.

3) For this planned container, there is a need for winter coats. Let us pray that there would be an abundance of coats donated.

4) Of all the Balkan countries, the people of Romania have opened their hearts to the Gospel more than others. Lord, we ask that You continue to pour out Your blessings on Romania.

5) Although God is blessing Romania in many ways, there are still many villages without an evangelical church. Let us pray that many will go into all the villages and share Jesus with the poor, hurting and lost.

6) Let us pray for Christian radio and television in Romania. May finances come forth for the stations to be setup. Let there be managers and owners that really love the Lord and can hear His voice. May preachers and teachers see the importance of proclaiming the Gospel over the air-ways.

7) Let us also pray for the Internet and the development of Christian websites. Let us believe for Romanian websites where people brag about what God has done for them and salvation is presented.

8) Let us pray for a major ministry that will incorporate the above technologies to reach those that speak Romanian.

Pray for Montenegro 7-9-12

~ Pray for Montenegro ~


Week of July 9-15, 2012


In April when we prayed for Montenegro, one of our directives was to pray against cronyism and corruption in the government.


IN THE NEWS: OSCE Chairmanship representative, in Podgorica, welcomes Montenegro’s reform progress

As OSCE [Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe] reported, in a meeting with Montenegro’s Foreign Minister Milan Rocen, she [Minister for European Affairs Lucinda Creighton] discussed OSCE support to the country in democratization, rule of law, media freedom, and combating high-level corruption and organized crime.

“We urge Montenegro to do more in the fight against high-level corruption and organized crime and to ensure full respect for fundamental rights and freedoms. These are priorities of the OSCE in the country and I am pleased that we are working on addressing these issues together,” she said.


1) We thank You, Lord for beginning to deal with the corruption in Montenegro.

2) Lord, we just ask that the people of Montenegro would be able to do business and go to court without having to pay someone off for favor.

3) Human lust and greed is born into the heart of every man and can only be tamed by a power greater than himself. Thank You Lord that You have a solution: Your awesome love. Lord, let the message of Your great redemptive love be heard in Macedonia.


4) One of the ways of spreading God’s love is through summer youth camps. May this be a year when the camps planned by the churches in Montenegro are bigger and better than they have ever been.

5) Lord, we pray that You would release the provisions for these youth camps.

6) May the churches reach out to the communities’ un-churched youth and be able to give these children scholarships.

7) May volunteers come from other countries to help with the camps in Montenegro.

8) Let us pray for speakers that will speak the truth to the youth about sin and its destructive results, about God’s forgiveness and bring them into the joy of salvation.

Psalm 35:9
And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; It shall rejoice in His salvation.

Pray for Macedonia 7-2-2012

Pray for Macedonia 
Week of July 2-8,2012

 Acts 2:  38- 40 (NKJV) Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off —for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”

1)      I read these verses and knew I needed to pray for evangelist to be sent and raised up in Macedonia. Let us pray to the Lord for the ministry of evangelism.
2)      Pray for evangelism to not merely be taught in the Macedonian churches but that it would be acted upon. Street evangelism, mass evangelism, radio evangelism, internet evangelism, neighbor to neighbor, family to family may the Good News be proclaimed.
3)      May the Lord expose the sin of this “corrupt generation” and call many Macedonians unto salvation.

Luke 8: 11-15
“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.  Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.  But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.  Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.  But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

4)      As the Good News goes forth and many are saved, may there be great celebrations when they are baptized.
5)      Lord, we ask that You protect the seeds. I can’t help but believe that as we fervently pray for the mission field, God causes the ground to be “good ground”.
6)      Lord, You know men’s hearts and how they will receive. May the Macedonian Christians enjoy sowing the seeds and watch as the Lord brings increase. 
7)      Holy Spirit, we cry out for Your fire to come and dwell in Your people in Macedonia. Some say Macedonia is the heart of the Balkans, may the heart catch on fire for Jesus.

In my research I am finding there are investments coming into Macedonia because they have created sound economic policies. The culture is modernizing.

8)      Modernization can have positive and negative effect.  Lord, we ask for Your protection of Macedonia. Lord, draw well-intended investors. Let us pray for Christian based businesses to invest.
9)      It is believed that the gray-market business in Macedonia is 40% of the economy, which can breed corruption. Lord, we pray for the exposure of those involved in dishonest trade.
10)  With a rate of 29% unemployment, let us pray for the Christians in Macedonia to be blessed with jobs.
11)  May the Christians bring their gifting to the market place. Lord, inspire them with inventions and successful methods of commerce.
12)  We pray also for Christians in the Macedonian government. Lord, open doors of influence.

Pray for Greece
Week of June 25 - July 1, 2012




In the News: Economic collapse in Greece is finally sinking into the consciousness of its citizens

On Sunday, June 17th, voters narrowly elected a center-right New Democracy Party to take the reins of power in a country that, besieged by debt and teetering on the brink of insolvency, is literally in chaos. For months now, Greece has only managed to exist, not thrive, as successive bailouts of its government by the European Central Bank (led mostly by German efforts and money) have kept Athens from tumbling headlong over an economic cliff that, frankly, its leaders should have seen coming years ago.

Life in the capital has come virtually to a standstill. The streets are less congested, sure, but because few can afford to drive. And while less trash goes to the landfill, it's because people are consuming less because they have to.

Giorgos, a 27-year-old economics [said] "There is a depression in the Greek people, in all my friends," ... "They keep saying: 'I can't take it. There's depression about our jobs, depression on the news, depression about the economic situation, depression in our family, depression and fighting among friends.'"

The Financial Times reports that violence, hate, polarization, fear, resignation and despair are rife across the country. It's so bad, in fact, that the country is developing the same characteristics of the German republic in the early 1930s, before Adolph Hitler rose to power.


In the News:
Greece still in trouble as talent leaves country

Brain drains are insidious. Like cutting away at muscle, they leave a country emaciated, unable to respond to crises and too lethargic to work hard to get where it has to. Then there’s the damaging effect they have on morale. Those who are left behind are either too old, too poor or too unskilled to be able to leave the country. This creates a deep sense of disillusionment, apathy and lack of national pride just when you need the exact opposite to get the country out its difficulties.

      Romans 1:16 (NKJV)
      For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for
     everyone  who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

1)      Jesus primarily ministered to the Jews but He sent Apostle Paul to the Greeks. Let us pray for apostles to be sent again to Greece for this time of great need. Men and women anointed to guide the country out of this critical economic situation. – Apostles to the marketplace –
2)      The enemy would love to bring an Adolph Hitler, but let us stand in prayer against such an outcome.  

Acts 17:21-23 (NKJV)

For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing. Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: “TO THE UNKNOWN GOD”. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:

3)      Upon Mars Hill (Areopagus), Paul pointed out to the Greek philosophers that there was a benevolent God beyond their myths and idols. Greeks have bowed down to new idols of self-sufficiency and a socialist state. Lord, as You shake this false trust, remember mercy.

4)      We see that when Paul arrived the Greeks had an empty place in their lives to hear the Gospel. Lord, we ask that that empty place will be exposed once again. Soften their hearts.

5)      Let us pray for the Evangelical churches in Greece. May this be their greatest hour. Lord, send them into the streets and homes with the good news. Give them a word of comfort and assurance for their countrymen.

6)     Burning hearts for Greece. Lord, raise up Your intercessors that will declare on earth as it is in heaven Your blessing for Greece.

7)      It is likely that things will get worse before getting better so let us pray for an influx of aid to come from Christians worldwide and be funneled through the Greek Evangelical churches.

8)      As mentioned in the news report above, when things turn bad in a country a brain-drain results. This has been a problem in all the Balkan countries for the past twenty years. Lord, we ask that You guide them to countries where they can find You.

Pray for Croatia
Week of June 18-24, 2012


Well the biggest event on most Croatians minds today is the Croatian team’s soccer (futbal) match with Spain in the EURO 2012 elimination trials in Poland. In fact by time you read this the match may be over.

But there are two problematic things that happened in Croatia last week; The display of vulgar acts in an international setting and the seeking of recognition for the homosexual lifestyle.

First:

In the NEWS: European soccer's governing body has charged Croatia's Football Federation (HNS) for racist chants and symbols displayed by the national team's fans during the Group C match against Italy in Poznan, [Poland] on Thursday. [June 14] [A fine of 31,000 Euros]

Second:

In the NEWS: Zagreb, Croatia – Some 2,000 people took part on Saturday in a gay-rights march in Croatia’s capital, calling on the government to boost the rights of same-sex couples in the largely conservative EU-bound country.


They urged “equality, dignity and visibility” for all gay and bisexual people and their families.

In 2003 Croatia extended the same rights to gay couples living together as to unmarried heterosexual couples, including state recognition of shared assets. The law only applies to gay and lesbian couples living together for at least three years.

1) Let us first pray for the Lord’s mercy on Croatia. Of course these two acts do not represent all Croats but they are a stain on the country. Lord, hold back judgment until repentance has been offered.

2) It is time for godly citizens to speak up with boldness to their pastors, priest and government leaders. Lord, give boldness to Your saints.

3) Let us pray for one such pastor that has spoken up against these things in Croatia, Mario Ducic. Lord, we pray for more doors into the government to open for Pasto Ducic. We ask for protection, wisdom and the anointing to lead in this matter.

4) Lord, we ask that the righteous ones be given loud voices to speak up against crude acts, homosexuality, abortion, etc. Lord, we pray that Croatian Christians would unite and let their elected officials know the Christian worldview on these issues. Unite them in prayer, bring them to repentance and lead them to action.

5) Let us pray for Foreign Minister Vesna Pusic who joined the marchers. Lord we pray for change or removal of this elected official.

6) The week before the gay-pride march in Zagreb there was a smaller parade in the coastal city of Split were about 500 people marched including five government ministers. http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/croatian-gay-pride-event-1455047.html We ask for mercy on the city of Split. Stir the Christians to do what is right.

7) Let us pray that the Catholic church, which has a big influence in Croatia, would speak up against these incidents.

8) Lord, we thank you for the Evangelical churches in Croatia. May they see these events as a warning to intercede for their country.

Pray for Bulgaria
Week of May 11-17,2012

Let us confront the enemy.

1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

In the news: Vampire Hype to Boost Bulgaria's Tourism

People on three continents are excited about Bulgarian vampires in the wake of local archeologists claiming to have found a vampire skeleton in the Black Sea town of Sozopol.

The skeleton is believed to be about 700 years old. In the past, because of the fear of vampires, sometimes deceased loved ones were buried with a spike pierced through their chest, believing that would keep them from coming back to life to terrorize the villages.

You might say, well that was 700 years ago, surely no one believes in those myths today. Perhaps, however we do know the devil has a way of changing his techniques of witchcraft in order to keep a country enslaved from generation to generation.


Surva International Festival of the Masquerade – In the city of Pernik, about 20 Kilometers from Sofia, there is a festival held every year in January that is much like Mardi-Gras in New Orleans, Louisiana. It has its roots in the Dionysian Mysteries. The Dionysian Mysteries were a ritual of ancient Greece which used intoxicants and other trance-inducing techniques (like dance and music) to remove inhibitions and social constraints, liberating the individual to return to a [so called] natural state.

Recently there was a 5.8-6.0-magnitude earthquake in Bulgaria and the epicenter was Pernik. There were no deaths but there was damage. http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=139746

IN the news: Bulgarian Officials Persecute Pastor over Homeschooling
http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=140046
Authorities in the former communist nation of Bulgaria are reportedly persecuting a pastor and his family over their decision to homeschool, prompting an international outcry among home-education advocates who are calling on officials involved in the growing scandal to drop the case immediately. The matter is even more urgent now as the father has been threatened with criminal charges of "child abuse" for removing his son from government school, according to activist groups and news reports.


1. Let us pray for Bulgaria, asking for the Lord to look down upon that land.

2. First Lord, we ask that the Christians of Bulgaria would seek You with all their hearts. Lord, we pray that a hunger for Your ways would burn within the people.

3. Lord, were You in the earthquake?

Job 37:4 After it a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard.

Joel 3:16

The LORD also will roar from Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake; But the LORD will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.

4. Lord, we thank You for the report that Christians are taking Bibles to the quake victims. Lord, let an angel accompany each Bible, protecting it and blessing the house it is in. Let us pray that these Bibles will be read. Holy Spirit, we know You will teach and soften hearts.

5. James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Lord as we submit to You we want to resist the plans of the devil over Bulgaria. We rebuke him in Your name, Lord Jesus.

6. Lord, show Your saints how to do battle against the enemy. Empower them to stand and proclaim the promises of our God in the enemies face. If the enemy can organize and empower festivals then why can’t the Lord’s people gather and in unity rebuke such unrighteousness? [ I don’t know the laws in Bulgaria concerning Christian expression on the streets but I see in my spirit organized Christians going into this Masquerade festival and being very vocal for Jesus.]

7. Lord, we rebuke the vampire spirit. The enemy would like to use this, so we pray that the popularity of this story would diminish.

8. Let us pray for the right of Christians to homeschool their children in Bulgaria. May the laws guaranty this right and that there would be cooperation and acceptance on the part of the public schools.

Pray for Bosnia
Week of June 4-10, 2012
There was an early Bosnian Church that had an indigenous form of Christianity not only distinguishable from Catholicism and Orthodoxy but also enjoying protection of rulers and noblemen powerful enough to offer a kind of safe heaven to those deemed heretical by the Papacy. They had a tendency to meet in homes or in the open air. Therefore very few ancient buildings of worship have been found. The members are believed to have been very charitable and un-materialistic. Each church or community was not subject to a pope or a metropolitan but independent.
Bosnia Herzegovina was also influenced by Bogomilism during medieval times. The Bogomils were also non-aligned with the Catholics and Orthodox churches. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogomilism Either way, going back to the 10th, 11th and 12th centuries the Bosnian church was independent. One report I read mentioned the Church of Bosnia as being the first protestant movement and very evangelistic. Bosnia is now divided into three camps that are nationalistic in nature; Catholic Croats, Orthodox Serbs and the Muslim Bosniaks. These three groups are trying to govern the country from three points of view. (See Note at end.)
1.      To hear that there were evangelical roots in Bosnia Herzegovina is very encouraging. Lord, we ask for restoration of the roots of Bosnian faith.
2.      Let us also pray for a government (rulers and noblemen) that will respect and protect the beliefs of all faiths.
3.      Let us pray that Bosnia Herzegovina will develop into a stable country. Lord, we know it has a long way to go but You are able to bring blessings. Let us pray for stability in government, commerce, unity among ethnic groups and churches grounded in the truth.
4.      Of all the Balkan countries, Bosnia seems to be the hardest to raise up new evangelical works. Let us pray that the walls holding back the Spirit would fall.
5.      Let us pray for help to come to the Bosnian Christians. Lord, we ask that the spiritual needs of Bosnia would be put on the hearts of mission agencies and churches around the world. This is just a deep burden of my heart, that the Lord would send help.
6.      The Bosnian War during the 90s has left deep scars on the country. People are hurt and all they want to do is leave. Let us lift up the hurting of Bosnia.
7.      Let us pray for those that are leaving the country, may their paths lead to Christian communities.
8.      Lord, we are confident You have a plan. Lord, seek out those that can be trusted with Your plan and move them into position to work Your plan.
9.      Let us remember the youth of Bosnia Herzegovina. May they be rescued from the demons that are working to rob them of hope.
Note: (editor) I am a nondenominational type Christian. I am thankful that denominations have kept the name of Jesus before the people for centuries but I am not necessarily aligned with any one of them. I am looking for Christians that have a passion for Jesus; Those that love the Lord even during the good times. Many use religion like a medication to sooth present uncomfortable situations. To me it is all about a daily relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The greatest need in the Balkan countries is for Christians to communicate the peace, joy and above all the love that He gives us. People need to know that a confession or a once a week church service does not necessarily bring that joy. It comes through a complete surrender to Jesus as Lord and Savior. Most people in the Balkans have given up on the confessional, taking the Eucharist and/or being baptized into a church.  These things are good and can help us focus but having a daily relationship with Jesus is where the abundant life is lived. We are called to love others as Jesus has loved us.
John 13:35
By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Pray for Albania
Week of May 28 - June 3, 2012

Albania is coming into the modern age! Albanians have always been isolated from the rest of the world. Being secluded by a mountain range, they have retained their ethnicity and national customs. Because of their seclusion they have become set in their ways, desiring to hold on to the customs of old rather than practice new methods and accept new beliefs. It is reported that the Albanian Christians are superficial in their commitments. The Catholics and Muslims would mix Christianity and Islam with local pagan beliefs just to get what converts they could. Albanians need to see Christians that are totally committed to their faith.Please leave a Comment or Reaction so we will know you Prayed


1. Let us look to the scriptures and find hope for Albania. Isaiah 46: 12-13a “Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness: I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off; My salvation shall not linger…”

2. As Albania opens up to the world, we pray that the Gospel will rush in.

3. There is a need for the Gospel to be demonstrated by the supernatural in Albania. Lord we pray that when the saints assemble, You would be manifest in their midst to save, heal and deliver. (I believe that the supernatural acts of Jesus will break the superficial hearts of the Albanian people.)

4. Lord, we pray for a holy assembling of pastors for the purpose of repentance and seeking Your face. The Lord promises to bring His righteousness near, within grasp. Albania needs to see Christians living holy before the Lord and demonstrating acts of righteousness.

5. Let us pray for faith to arise. May the Albanian Christians cry out for God to move in their country. Let the intercessors arise. Oh, the joy on the Lord’s face to see a great number of Albanian Christians before His throne worshiping Him.

6. Lord, thank You that You respond to the people that cry out to You. Let not Your salvation linger but come quickly to rescue Albania.

7. Many ministries went into Albania since Communism fell and we pray that their seeds would remain. May they be rewarded by seeing the salvation of many.

Pray for Turkey
Week of May 21-27,2012


In the Early Church, they first sent missionaries to Asia Minor (Turkey). Turkey was evangelized to the point that a third of the great city, Ephesus, was Christian. From Turkey missionaries went out to all the world. Then in the 14th and 15th centuries the Muslim hoards came, conquered Turkey and forced many to convert to Islam. Then the Turks, through the Ottoman Empire, expanded their economic base and their zeal for Islam toward the west and thereby dominated the Balkans for the next 500 years. Turkey has been a land where great movements have been launched.

Although we don’t have the actual numbers, Turkey in the 2nd and 3rd centuries was 33% Christian and by the 5th Century near 100% culturally Christian. Now there is around 0.2% Christians and that includes all Christian denominations. Also it is 100% culturally Islam.

1.       Oh, Lord, what can we do? How can we proclaim Your freedom in Turkey? How did the former saints loose the land, How can it be regained?

2.       Lord, we know Your judgments are serious and Your plans are beyond our ability to figure out, but we will cry out for Your mercy. We just simply ask You to lift Your judgment.

3.       Let us pray for the seeds planted by the Early Church. May they come forth once again and grow in Turkey.

4.       The report is that the evangelicals that are in Turkey are strong in their faith. We first ask You, Lord, for their protection. Next we ask for their encouragement. Lord, we pray that Your presence will be with them daily; Divine guidance.

A great number of youth in Turkey and the Muslim world are getting tired of the “don’ts” of the Muslin culture. Through the internet and their cell phones they are finding out that other teenagers are living life to the fullest.

5.       This is good and this is bad. We know materialism is deceptive and following secular pop-stars is also. Let us pray that they would hear of the greatest star of all, Lord Jesus.

6.       Thank You, Lord, for the dreams and visions You are giving many Muslims. The Muslim understands the dream language, so Lord we ask that You continue to speak to them in the night.

7.       Let us pray for intercessors that will develop a discipline to pray for Turkey.

8.       Let us pray for more Turkish speaking evangelist that will go.

9.       Lord, send out Turkish ministers on radio, television and the internet. Lord, we ask for invasion.

Pray for Slovenia
Week of May 14-20, 2012

According to the Eurobarometer Poll 2005,[218] 37% of Slovenian citizens responded that "they believe there is a god", whereas 46% answered that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force" and 16% that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, god, or life force". (Info from Wikipedia)

Generally in historic Christian countries you will get way over 50% that believe in the God of the Bible. The statistics above show that only 37% believe there is a God. Then there is an alarming 46% plus 16% that do not believe in the God of the Bible. This may be why Slovenia has the highest suicide rate in the Balkans and is ranked 6th in the world. (This was a 2005 poll, but recent reports show little change)

1.      Hope, hope, hope, this is what Slovenia needs. Thank You Lord that You bring abundant hope.

2.      Lord, we ask that You send out Your angels to soften the hard hearts. Prepare the people to hear the Gospel. Slovenia needs Your help.

Luke 13: 6-6  NKJV

He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.  Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?’  But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.  And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.’”



3.      The “keeper” in the above parable is like unto an intercessor. Lord, we ask that You call out the intercessors to pray for Slovenia; Station watchmen on the walls.

4.      Let us pray for the Slovenian Evangelical Christians to be burdened for their countrymen. Lord, raise up churches in Slovenia that will be safe places for the lost and newly redeemed to find healing. May there be trained ministers that can walk young Christians through emotional healing.

5.      Let us pray for anointed teachers to present the Gospel in purity and truth. Thank You, Lord, that Your Word cleanses us and shows us how to walk righteous before You.



 Amos 9:13   NKJV “Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it.

6.      Lord, we pray for “plowmen” and “treaders” that will go quickly into the harvest field. Lord, we know this happens when the Holy Spirit blows across the land. Holy Spirit blow upon Slovenia.

7.      May the Slovene people ascend the mountain of the Lord and find His sweet wine. May they be so full of the sweetness of the Lord that they will spill out over the hills and into the valleys.

8.      Lord, we rebuke that lying spirit of suicide that inhabits Slovenia. Come Lord, and set the people free.

Pray for Serbia
Week of May-7-13,2012

Economic Headlines in Serbia

• Serbian currency continues its downward slide

• Serbian First-Quarter GDP Contracts 1.3%, Flash Estimate

• Also: 24 percent unemployment, a weak dinar, accusations of endemic corruption, and weak economic growth.

Sunday May 6th there was an election and the above facts weighted heavy on the outcome. If you have time read the following news article: Milosevic Party Emerges as Kingmaker

The final vote tally is not expected until Thursday May 10th. There will have to be a run-off election in a few weeks to discover the presidential victor. After talking with Christian friends from Serbia, it looks like the man they favor, Boris Tadic, will win but will have to make compromising appointments to obtain the votes needed.

1) Let us pray for the shakeout of this election. As Christians we are to pray for peace in the land and believe God to let righteousness rule.

2) Let us pray for the present president Boris Tadic. We pray that he stand firm for what is right.

3) Let us pray for the Serbian media as they report developments leading up to the run-off election. May truth be revealed. Secrets that are hidden, may they come to the surface.

4) Lord, most of all we pray that the Serbian people will hear/know the truth, even truth in politics. Lord, we also pray for rational thinking as the people analyze whom they should vote for. May they not be led astray by false hopes and emotional pleas.

Over the years I have found that a country usually gets the government they deserve. God is a just God whether a nation needs judgment or blessing. God does respond to the Church when they pray.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If My people who are called by My name will 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 heal their land.
