I received this in email this afternoon....

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said recently at a meeting of Muslim leaders that "the main solution is for the elimination of the Zionist regime." At a rally in 2005, Ahmadinejad, who earlier had called the Holocaust a "myth," vowed to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth" and made the same remarks about America. Standing before a poster that proclaimed "The World Without Zionism," he stated:

Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism? But you should know that this slogan and this goal are achievable, and certainly can be achieved.

The crowd responded with the popular rallying cry: "Death to America... Death to Israel."

I want to encourage you to stay current on these fast-changing world events.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).

We must pray that God will grant our authorities wisdom and insight into the true nature of this struggle, as well as the best military and political solutions. Lift up the believers who are right now in these fields of battle as missionaries and tentmakers in the Middle East. Pray especially for Christians presently in our military-that they will uphold the highest of ethical and moral standards and serve as "salt and light" wherever they may be.

Most of all, pray for God to move mightily among those who do not know Christ. There are reports coming out of the Middle East of dramatic salvations taking place among the Muslims. God can and will use this trying global storm to glorify Himself.
