One picture from that article touches the heart

Amazingly, this picture was on the front page of our liberal rag this morning. My sister, a pediatric nurse, looked at the child and immediately recognized the signs of malnutrition or worse in this innocent tot -- as you say "the forces of hell have been encamped there a very long time." Praying for our brave warriors to drive them out.

Hi, SuziQ - I am not sure if this is the same picture as you mention. Could be. It is from Basra - and I believe this is a British medic - but it doesn't matter - in that what we are seeing is compassion and caring on the part of Americans and Brits - where from the demonically driven Iraqi's we see only heinous crimes against humanity.

The people of Iraq - one hopes - will see these acts of kindness and understand what we are doing there. Many do. But it is the "nest of demons" in these cities that we are praying against and for deliverance from. Will add you do the targeted prayer ping list. We are still targeting BASRA right now - and great advances have been made thanks to our great allies and also thanks to Almighty God.

Here are some links to more information about Basra that have been posted so far. It is important to know as much as possible about a locale which is being targeted by our prayers. Be sure also that you and everyone put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6) and be covered by the shed blood of Jesus Christ and go into prayer with praise and thanksgiving because we truly are on the "front lines" when engaging in spiritual warfare. God is our rock and our fortress, our strong tower, our shield and defender....so let's be sure we are walking in faith, covered by HIS WINGS - and all our loved ones the same as we go forward in prayer for the deliverance of Basra!
