This is the ICT prayer meeting on Tuesday
the 10th of March 1998.
Thank you for your prayers.
Comes right after Titus.
Tucked in there before Hebrews.
Okay, let's read this.
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus.
And Timothy, our brother, to the NIV.
To Philemon, our dear friend and fellow worker.
To Aphia, our sister.
To Archippus, our fellow soldier.
And to the church that meets in your
home.
Grace to you and peace from God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I always thank my God as I remember
you in my prayers.
Little phrase, isn't it?
But if we took that seriously it would
revolutionize our lives.
Because I hear about your faith in the
Lord Jesus and your love for all the
saints, I pray that you may be active
in sharing your faith so that you will
have a full understanding of every good thing
we have in Christ.
Your love has given me great joy and
encouragement because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts
of the saints.
Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold
and order you to do what you ought
to do, yet I appeal to you on
the basis of love.
Amazing.
I then, as Paul, an old man and
now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus, I
appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who
became my son while I was in chains.
Formerly he was useless to you, but now
he has become useful both to you and
to me.
I am sending him, who is my very
heart, back to you.
I would have liked to keep him with
me so that he could take your place
in helping me while I am in chains
for the gospel, but I did not want
to do anything without your consent so that
any favor you do will be spontaneous and
not forced.
Perhaps the reason he was separated from you
for a little while was that you might
have him back for good, no longer as
a slave, but better than a slave, a
dear brother.
He is very dear to me, but even
dearer to you, both as a man and
as a brother in the Lord.
So if you consider me a partner, welcome
him as you would welcome me.
That's strong, isn't it?
If he has done you any wrong or
owes you anything, charge it to me.
I, Paul, am writing this with my own
hand.
I will pay it back, not to mention
that you owe me your very self.
I do wish, brother, that I may have
some benefit from you in the Lord, refresh
my heart in Christ.
Confident of your obedience, I write to you
knowing that you will do even more than
I ask.
And one thing more, prepare a guest room
for me, because I hope to be restored
to you in answer to your prayers.
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends
you greetings.
And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke,
my fellow workers.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be
with your spirit.
What a phenomenal epistle.
We don't have time to give a great
exposition and go into detail, but I would
encourage you to study Philemon.
I've heard messages on this book and read.
Of course, a lot that you read as
life goes on, you're not able to remember.
And so just reading this afresh in preparation
for tonight was a great ministry to my
own heart.
The thing that God put on my heart,
especially for tonight, and I wish it was
in a more work-through form, because I've
been working on it for a long time
and still don't really necessarily have God's mind
on how to express it, is simply that
I believe one of the great mistakes, we've
made many mistakes, speaking of myself, speaking of
the movement, people in the movement from the
early days, but it's been impressed upon me,
again, that one of the great mistakes is
mistakes in evaluating people, in evaluating their spirituality.
The great thrust of OM in the early
days, and I hope true to today, was
not firstly just evangelism.
If you've ever listened to the orientation tapes,
if you know anything about this movement's roots,
it was not primarily just evangelism or missions
or unreached people.
It was spirituality.
And we were reared, some of us after
our conversion, in an environment of heavy challenge
about spirituality.
If you sit under the feet of Alan
Ridpath, as I did in Chicago, Redpath, it's
all spirituality, it's the Lordship of Christ.
If you go to a place like Moody,
you are hit every single day with some
aspect of spirituality.
And you watch the students around you, many
of them crumble, as they are unable to
really respond to this kind of environment.
And I was reminded of this, again, as
I'd just been ministering in Trinity Bible College
in Florida, where Billy Graham went.
And if you read his autobiography, which is
just at the market in paperback, I even
got a $2 discount at Walmart.
I bought half of their stock, which isn't
many, it's a retail place.
But I was so excited that that book
finally got out in paperback, and very, very
attractive.
But as I poured myself out for two
or three days at this college, and then
over lunch with students, realized, many of the
students didn't even go.
They all are required to go to this
chapel, but they didn't go.
I thought, we had the ACMC conference was
going on simultaneously, plus missionaries, visitors.
It's a relatively small meeting, maybe twice the
size of this.
And they had enough video equipment in there
to make, I would have thought, a major
movie.
But I found out, of course, that a
lot of the students didn't even go, even
though it's required.
And, of course, that's not the main thing
that's led me to share what's on my
heart right now.
But it's reminded me of how easily, at
Bible College, and also in an OM environment,
you can get so many challenges about spirituality,
you can no longer absorb it.
The whole challenge of prayer right now is
a huge thing going on in the States.
I don't know how many are participating, in
which a particular Christian leader has called people
to 40 days of prayer and fasting.
Now, the average evangelical has never fasted two
days.
They don't even go to any prayer meetings.
And yet, suddenly out of the blue, not
quite out of the blue, but it's presented
that if you really want to see America
revived, if you really want to see what
needs to happen, go and fast for 40
days.
You can imagine the complexity of that for
family people, for pastors.
Usually it's certain amounts.
For some people it's a partial fast, at
least having some kind of fruit juices or
something.
I talked to one man who just entered
into it.
And I know that in my own life,
I have made, and I think I'm still
making, and still struggling at least, false evaluations
of people in terms of where they are
spiritually, and whether God can use them or
not, and whether they should be on OM
long term.
We're hit with all kinds of decisions about
people.
Our movement is a movement of people.
And I remember once, years ago, disagreeing with
a particular leader, as I felt his level
of rating people spiritually was too low.
People that he thought were basically spiritual people,
that God could use.
I can remember my reaction.
What is he using as his measuring rock?
Of course, if you've spent a lot of
time in Tozer, and a lot of time
in Watchman Knee, and a lot of time
in Andrew Murray, and a lot of time
in some of these other books, and heard
all the messages that I've heard, not many
people are coming up to that standard.
So it's great to preach these sermons, but
how does that work out in practice?
What if you marry someone that doesn't quite
seem to fit in with Alan Redpath's definition
of spirituality, or Tozer's, or Watchman Knee?
A lot of these writers actually never said
that much about marriage.
If you look through old books, which are
actually being pushed very much back on us
these days, you'll find that most of them
don't say much about some of the things
we face today.
What old book tells you how to handle
the internet?
Pornography on the internet is one of the
number one practical problems Christians, especially the male
species, are facing right now.
One mission society, I think I shared this
with a few of you, took a survey
and it blew their minds how many of
their missionaries are in pornography on the internet.
I just read that some of these companies
now are getting names for their home page,
or whatever they call it, which are very
similar to famous names.
So if you punch in Motorola and put
an extra R, boom, you're into 500 nude
women free of charge on your computer.
There's apparently one email or internet address which
is very similar to something in connection with
Washington.
And apparently if you hit the wrong button
or add one little letter, you go straight
into a major pornography display.
It is interesting that last night on the
airplane, featured news on the American airline flight
from Florida that I was on, they're talking
about the internet and the impossibility of controlling
things.
In America, the First Amendment provides an enormous
amount of freedom of speech.
And the government debated recently putting any controls
on the internet.
And the First Amendment and other factors came
out.
There is no control whatsoever on the internet.
Not true in other countries.
In fact, on this interview, this particular program
was featuring on the American militia movement and
aspects of the militia movement that are completely,
completely racist.
Make the Ku Klux Klan look like they're
gentle.
And they're pushing this stuff on the internet
into Germany and they're getting lots of people
in Germany, a neo-Nazi movement in Germany,
clicking in and getting some of the most
hateful material you could ever imagine.
One of these famous Jewish institutes, a famous
man, Isaac Wasserman, incredibly famous person, I'm probably
just pronouncing it a little bit wrong.
His institute in America, used to be based
in Vienna, are mainly watching what's going into
the internet.
And then they referred, this program wasn't about
that, but they referred to a similar problem
in connection with pornography, child pornography, every kind
of mutilation.
It is all there on the internet.
Now what do we find in some of
the old books on this subject?
Somebody will immediately say, well the basis for
all these answers is found in the word.
That's true.
And so I hope you will be a
diligent student of the word and come out
with your message on how to handle the
internet from the New Testament because the basics
about discipline and moral purity and the other
challenges are all there.
I guess this is partly on my heart
because a friend of mine has been more
or less removed from his pastorate because he
had some struggle with pornography.
As far as I can see it wasn't
a huge thing, but he got into it
for a while.
And when he eventually confessed this, people did
not know how to handle this confession.
And even now, though he's gone through many,
many months of counseling and discipline and is
completely free from this, he's been asked to
leave.
He's the founding pastor of this fellowship.
He's been asked to leave for one year,
one year's discipline.
And they will not restore him now until
after, even though he's been through some discipline,
they want him to go through more.
Of course this is sort of splitting the
church as some people feel this is too
harsh and other people feel it should be
more.
And though this is happening way over in
some little state in America, I've had a
heavy conversation from someone who picked up news
about it in China and felt that I,
you know, George Furrow must get more involved
and really get this thing more sorted out.
Right now many churches are going through nightmares
trying to decide what is an acceptable level
of spirituality for their pastor?
What is an acceptable level of gifting?
And in the process, in a big place
like the States with a huge number of
churches, thousands of pastors are burning out, collapsing
under the pressure, or things come to the
surface even from people's past.
I call one city on the East Coast,
none of this I'm adding to.
Just out of the blue, I'm not interested
in talking about any negative things, I'm just
saying hello to an old high school friend
from New Jersey who we discovered because the
ship went to that city.
And he just began to share that the
whole city is feeling a dark cloud because
a pastor who came in from another state,
the absolute other end of the country where
I happen to be at that time, and
now people are making accusations about sexual abuse
with young lads, and it looks like he
may still be doing it there, and of
course with what is going on in the
White House.
This is a main sort of cloud hanging
over the United States at this time.
I pick up the most negative feedback I've
ever had concerning Billy Graham of all my
years.
Three or four or five phone calls yesterday,
all including the man in the church I
preached at Sunday night, all sharing something about
Billy Graham, and apparently in a hot interview
program he was unbelievably soft about morality and
Bill Clinton, probably Billy just trying to be
the diplomat that he is, he has this
friendship with Clinton, just tried to be, because
I heard ten days ago he had a
program with Larry King and I heard all
positive things about that.
But this was another one, and it's been
hit big in main Wall Street Journal reporting.
I don't know if any of you saw
the article about Billy Graham in the Wall
Street Journal.
Peter Mayton has just been given a subscription
to Wall Street Journal, so he's digging up
the article right now.
Just to try to wind this down, tell
you what I'm wrestling with in all this,
is that I believe so often we either
put the level of what true spirituality is
too high, I believe many books do that,
I really feel that very deeply, or we
put it too low.
And I'd encourage you, and maybe we can
have some discussion, what is true spirituality?
When can we say, well boy, that's a
man or woman of God.
Have you ever had anybody say that about
you?
We leaders get people to say that about
us, at least in the places where they
like us.
Places where they don't like us, they don't
invite us, right?
They don't introduce us and say, this guy's
a real jerk and he's a nerd, but
we've let him here this morning because somebody
twisted my arm, and we thought we'd give
him a try.
It's like that preacher that got invited back,
and he was so encouraged by the re
-invitation.
But then the pastor gave him the truth,
because he said, well, you know, we're very
much into forgiveness here, and the first time
you preached it, it was horrendous.
And we wanted to give you another opportunity
to try again.
Boy, I tell you, it changed his position
very quickly.
But just from my own heart, I lean
towards saying that in a movement like OM,
with all the spiritual input we have, we
tend, number one, to not think we're that
spiritual.
We always think somebody else is spiritual.
We do tend to put ourselves down.
We do tend to have spiritual inferiority feelings.
You know, why isn't God using me?
We tend to, I believe, get discouraged when
we sin and fail in the same area
again and again.
And though we may not be heavy deliverance
in our practice, in our minds, we tend
to think, basically, we should be delivered of
everything.
More and more in my counseling among more
spiritually minded people, I see that they give
the impression that basically, more or less, you
should be perfect.
And especially if you're a pastor.
And certainly there can't be any difficulty in
the sexual area.
And this sort of perfectionism, promoted very heavily
by certain seminars, by certain people, and probably
even by me years ago, before the whole
grace message gripped me in a more realistic
way and a lot of other things got
pounded into my heart, I believe leads to
a lot of people being discouraged.
Even in listening to some of the speakers
and tapes in various places, I'm always listening
to other people, they often put such a
level of spirituality up, nobody's going to make
it.
And they've got a bunch of, you know,
1,000 moody Bible Institute students that are
wrestling with all kinds of problems.
We don't need to go into the details.
They get some high lofty message about true
spirituality, knowing God.
There's certain knowing God messages, knowing God books.
When you're finished reading them, you're absolutely sure
you don't know God at all.
Now, some temperaments, that's not such a big
problem.
I, fortunately, am that kind of temperament.
You know, I'm just not so easily intimidated.
A lot of good foundation teaching before I
was even 20 years of age.
Somehow, when I hear these overwhelming messages, I
just, you know, repent and claim and go
forward again.
But other people of more sensitive temperament, different
emotional and mental makeup, different background, different family
situation, they get knocked out by these grace
killers.
Forgive my Charles Swindoll expression.
And I just believe that OM still has
a significant grace killing instinct right at its
heart.
And I hope that before I go to
heaven, somehow I can do more to help
kill the grace killing instinct, which means I've
got to be especially careful about myself.
But even when you share this, you can
turn that around and it becomes a grace
killing message.
Because we're going to go around and kill
all grace killers and you know that you've
got a grace killing instinct.
And so it's what you call a no
-win situation.
How many of you believe in the Christian
life it's possible to get into situations where
it's totally lose-lose?
Do any of you believe that?
Peter Conley believes that.
We have a few followers.
Rosemary, Mark, wow.
Rex is going to think about that a
little more.
But somehow, with some of the Lord's people
that I meet, a lose-lose situation, it's
not possible.
They will not accept that terminology.
I was with a top Christian leader at
one of our 82,000 meetings and I'm
assuring that I felt we as a movement
failed in a lot of ways.
I mean, how could anyone have a brain
and not see the failures of the 82
,000 movement?
It's beyond me.
But this brother, he immediately moved into high
gear.
He does not believe we should use that
word failure as God's people.
And that is not in our vocabulary.
Again, I didn't get into detailed conflict.
The audience was maybe on, I don't know
whose side they were on.
Just to try to sum this up, I
believe God is using people a lot more
than they realize.
I believe people are often far more spiritual
than they realize.
And I believe that we don't give enough
credit to the basics.
If a man is living a life, or
a woman, a basic form of purity, if
they are people of basic integrity, they're not
lying, they're not cheating, if they are fulfilling
some of the very basics of the Christian
life, and we know many people are not,
but if they are, then I rate them.
I rate them much higher than I would
20 years ago.
Maybe he's struggling in his prayer life.
Maybe he's not lending anybody to Jesus Christ
this week.
Maybe he isn't feeling the power of God
every minute.
Maybe he or she are having some difficulties
in their marriage.
Maybe he's not the totally Spirit-filled driver.
But to me, if these basics, even going
back to the Ten Commandments, we all fail
in some of those in one way or
the other, especially if we look at our
hearts.
And I just feel, in general, we need
to rate people a little higher.
We need to rate people a little higher.
Why?
Because most of the people out there in
the churches we're going to, which we're all
talking about esteeming in O.M. these days,
I tell you, they are not in to
this level of spirituality that sometimes we talk
about.
There may be a few, and they sometimes
become the leading grace killers in the church
because they believe all the other people who
are not quite doing it this way or
feeling it this way, they're sort of backslidden.
We need to really get with them and
pray they get into the victorious life, which
may be true in some cases.
But in other cases, it may be that
they manifest their spirituality differently.
And one of the things that we find
hard, especially some of us from the western
so-called objective oriented world with all the
books and all the spiritual intake, especially people
in certain circles, when we get out across
the world and see the people that God's
using and then discover the problems they still
have in their lives, it doesn't fit on
the page.
It doesn't fit on the page.
And I remember a leading professor in a
meeting of charismatic leaders here in London which
were trying to bring leaders of the new
church charismatic movement in unity with missions.
We had this professor from one of the
leading Bible colleges give all these very elevated
things and really launch a major attack against
present day missions and the way people are
going about things and the lack of spirituality,
the lack of this.
And I stood up at the end, a
few of you know this story, and I
said, you know, I'm sort of in your
camp.
High level goals, integrity, spirituality.
I said, I'm in your camp but could
you explain why for 40 years I've seen
God using so many complete jerks in such
a powerful way to bring hundreds of thousands
to himself.
And the whole place burst out in applause
and laughing because they are mature men and
women who've seen that.
It's a mystery.
Hell, there's lots of mysteries.
Let's try to be a little more balanced,
fair, grace awakened, mature, a bit like Paul
when he wrote this letter concerning Philemon, the
former slave.
Let's pray.
Lord, maybe this ministry of your spirit as
I prepared for this, maybe it's mainly for
me.
And forgive me when I have misjudged people.
Forgive me when I have made two and
two equal eight.
When I thought negatively about someone because they
didn't seem to have much of a prayer
life or they didn't seem to have a
passion for world evangelism or they didn't seem
to do it the way I thought perhaps
it should be done.
Lord, maybe in some circumstances I was right
but Lord, forgive me for false evaluations of
where people are spiritually.
And Lord, help the body of Christ continue
to have high goals in the things of
the spirit while at the same time maintain
that biblical balance that pays attention to the
basics and realizes how hard it is even
to have some of these basics to stay
away from basic lying, to stay away from
their morality, to stay away from acts of
hatred and violence and anger, to stay away
from embezzlement and theft and things that Lord
we can even end up in prison for
and there are Christians in prison tonight because
they didn't pay attention enough to those basics
and enable us Lord to when we see
people have the basics of the Christian faith
to be able to encourage them to be
able to honor them to be able to
introduce them to other Christians or write letters
like Paul wrote for the sake of Philemon
to get him back into that situation.
Lord, we're overwhelmed when we think of the
challenges and connection with what we've shared this
evening.
We don't have the time to discuss it
tonight but perhaps Lord among ourselves and as
we hear so many different things and get
so many challenges help us to have that
grace awake and balanced way of measuring ourselves,
evaluating ourselves and measuring and evaluating other people
and Father help us to in some cases
not even make an evaluation until we have
more facts and pray more and perhaps talk
more.
I commit this to you thank you that
you've not given up on OM and us
and you're still working still changing people's lives
the gospel is still going out and we
think of so many of our graduates who
we especially are wanting to be linked with
many of them many of them are not
in what they dreamed they would be when
they were 19 but many of them are
going on for you and that is the
bottom line and we praise you whether they're
in the kind of ministry we would like
to see them in or they're in something
completely different if they're going on for you,
loving you attempting to walk with you keeping
some kind of right accounts with you then
we praise you for that and we want
to affirm them and love them and encourage
them to keep on keeping on even when
they do have a failure or they do
sin do something that they may feel is
so completely stupid we praise you we worship
you in the midst of the challenge in
Jesus name, Amen Amen just before I want
to share this burden I almost forgot which
is ridiculous because it's it's very serious how
many of you remember the Parsi brothers Zoroastrian
brother who came and shared in this very
room, raise your hand he is one of
the few converts from Zoroastrianism in the entire
world and he has been for now over
two years trying to do something among those
people and to my amazement I had a
long talk with him on the phone the
other day he has been able to get
very little, almost no backing at all apart
from a little bit from us and our
friend Jack in Canada so he's been pressing
on his own and he did get his
church at least to pray for they won't
support him Baptist church in Texas probably quite
Baptist and wouldn't be able to comprehend what
this guy is on about although I think
they love him and I'm going to try
to follow up with them but he has
persisted in trying to share his faith with
these people in India here United States, there
are thousands of them here and in United
States and many in Iran, he hasn't been
able to get to that much, but in
Pakistan and India the word is now out
among their hierarchy about him and his life
is definitely in danger they are very upset
they've never had anybody like him that was
a Zoroastrian teacher become a follower of Christ
just unheard of they're much harder than Muslims
and he might have shown up here tonight
except he's on a cheap ticket wasn't sure
he could get here by Tuesday night and
he is on his way I don't know
whether I'm trying to I'm supposed to persuade
him otherwise to the city in India where
the high priest of Zoroastrian is two hours
out of Bombay do any of you India
people remember that name of that place it's
half in my mind but if I pronounce
it it will come out wrong but it's
a small place the fire has been burning
in this city for three thousand years and
the high priest of Zoroastrianism are there and
he feels now led since they're after him
anyway to go right into the lion's mouth
and declare the message of salvation he's very
much on his own and I don't know
what else to say except we are one
of the few groups that related to him
even in sharing his unreached people's vision he's
been sort of pushed aside because there's not
enough of these people the unreached people if
you're not over a million over half a
million you don't get on the list there's
all kinds of things that go on among
these unreached people but here's a group that
we know of hardly any converts we know
of hardly anybody in the world's focusing on
them or knows them they are mentioned and
you can change the world with children's edition
and we are one of the few that
know this brother who was converted out of
this background so I thought we could at
least pray for him he normally comes and
stays with Parsi friends don't confuse Parsis or
Astrons with Farsi language of Iranians that's totally
different they sound very similar don't they but
because of the persecution and things against him
he really can't stay so he may be
staying with one of us during his short
time here and if you know of someone
that would like to accompany him to the
heart of the lion's den outside Bombay maybe
give me a phone call would definitely give
that a priority willing to put some finance
into it yes father we unite for this
brother we realize his life is now in
danger we realize he's very much alone with
this so neglected people's group we pray you
would show him any others who are actively
working and will want to work among these
peoples we realize that I only discovered even
his Jesus films are in Hindi and English
and Gujarati not in the language of these
people though many of them know these other
languages but it just shows how forgotten how
left out the Parsi and Zoroastrian people are
we understand this headquarters in India is probably
even for those of us who might consider
ourselves very balanced a very demonized place and
we cry out to you and stand against
the forces of darkness that there could come
a breakthrough among the Parsis Zoroastrians and even
here in Great Britain where we know no
one working among them in Britain no one
working among them in the United States many
many thousands and we pray raise up some
who would put these people on the spiritual
map in Jesus name Amen as you know
this recent week we've seen a lot of
things happen on the on TV or news
whatever something new happening from Yugoslavia the war
is over in some parts that is you
can see that in Bosnia and Croatia and
all we thought in the beginning before the
firming was straight up it will start in
this country and spread and what happened the
opposite it started on the top Croatia and
came to this country now this one is
the most dangerous for many reasons political reasons
and I just read on the paper that
this is the most dangerous because in this
nation we have 90% of the Albanian
population pronounce that for us Kosovo if
something happens in this country Albanians they cannot
say just just find political solution because we
are brothers by blood we are the same
nation we have Albanians in Montenegro in Macedonia
and if something happens Albanians will attack here
Macedonians they cannot remain anymore in the same
part because 25 to 40% of the
Albanian population is in Macedonia only but again
Macedonians we don't recognize because their language is
not official according to them Greece we don't
recognize Macedonia either because of their province called
Macedonia and Albanians because of their own population
and everything is getting more and more complicated
now what's happening in this country Serbians they
want still to kill as much as they
can Albanians with one aim as we call
it ethnic cleansing they start here somewhere in
a place called Drenita yesterday I went to
some demonstrations and there were 100,000 Albanians
in London at the same time in the
capital of Kosovo Pristina there were more than
50,000 Albanians and here I've got a
picture of ladies waving white paper which means
Albanians have no rights in that country at
the same time here I've got something else
which says that the Albanian army is here
in Kukesi and is quite ready to attack
last night I heard from the Albanian president
of Albania who said that in fact he
is blaming the Serbian president Milosevic who started
this attack this it won't get changed quite
easily in Donetsk today we had a special
meeting emergency meeting regarding this country and they
have decided in 10 days they gave 10
days to president Milosevic to do something that
means to accept that Albanians would have a
meeting with Belgrade because everything comes from there
if they don't have the war won't stop
it will continue more and more now the
other thing I want to mention is that
Turks which are here somewhere they said we
cannot stay indifferent about this country because they
have some kind of history in this country
because Albanians are Muslim 90% and at
the same time we had demonstrations in Istanbul
more than 3000 Albanians we had demonstrations in
Ankara in Athens and in all Western
Europe so I just heard the official number
of killed 80 people within a week that's
official but this number is much higher because
many people are dead on the fields and
they cannot have access to go and collect
bodies of their brothers and sisters or mothers
and fathers who are they because Red Cross
which is recognizing the whole world didn't get
permission to go and heal the wounded people
what I really want to say is at
least so we can find a way and
send some aid there I was in touch
with an ex-armour he's got one truck
or a lorry or more of food and
post and a bit of drugs and he
said that they need to raise 3000 pounds
so we have to pray for that as
well God's miracle will do before I finish
just let me say that this is the
Albanian flag if you want if you've never
seen one this is the same flag in
both countries whenever Albanians red and black it's
quite old from the 15th century yeah and
I think that's it in brief and really
I don't know which prayer request to ask
anymore because the only thing I want is
that this country will find what they want
what they deserve we cannot say anymore another
Serbia and the most complicated thing is this
because this country we don't have we don't
have army we don't have the police nothing
the only thing we have is white paper
that means nothing so do pray please is
that where you were born?
I was born here wow Lord we thank
you for this burden you put on our
brother Samir's heart we know it's especially hard
for him to see his countrymen being killed
and to see these people have no rights
just sort of chaotic kind of situation and
we pray for the resolution of this problem
here most of us are probably ignorant about
this little land of Kosovo and we now
have our eyes have been opened and we
want to be involved in Jesus name amen
let's have several others pray cry out to
God for this situation
