Prayers For ISIS Fighters Being Answered

Nearly a year ago, I called the readers of this blog to prayer not only for the persecuted Christians, especially in the Middle East, but also for their oppressors, the ISIS fighters.

The reason why they are staging now more terrorist attacks around the world is because they are losing ground in the Middle East, not only militarily, but most of all spiritually.

Many Islamic fighters were deeply moved by the love showed to them by many Christians even as they were being murdered, they cannot shake off the peace that they saw in their eyes, and they cannot forget their courage.

But most of all, many of them are seeing visions of Jesus Himself, who comes to them in their dreams showing them His scars( Islam teaches that Jesus was never really crucified) and calling them to live for Him instead of killing others.

Last week, one of my Arabic speaking friends shared with me some testimonies of ISIS fighters becoming followers of Jesus and asking Christians to forgive them and to pray for them. I cannot share too many details of those very supernatural conversions here as to not identify them, but I am sharing this with you to encourage you to continue to pray for them. God is answering our prayers.

In this context, I understand more and more why the Lord told us to "bless those who curse us and pray for those who persecute us." We must remember that our battle as apostle Paul taught us, is not against flesh and blood. Do not look at people who mistreat you as your enemies, the real enemy is that evil spiritual  force that keeps them in bondage and uses them to hurt us and hurting them as well in the process.

Satan is real and he hates humanity, but Jesus came, died, and rose again to save those who are lost, even those who you might consider an enemy. No matter who is it that causes you pain, a nasty coworker, your in-laws, whoever it is. Bless them, show them kindness, pray for them instead of returning evil for evil, and see how God will change the situation you are in for the better of both you and them. This is the gospel in action and the power of God. This is what those ISIS fighters do not have and when they experience it, they will be changed forever. The Gospel of Jesus Christ won over many hateful ideologies before and will win over this one as well. The victory is on our side already.

Keep Praying!

UK Voted To Leave The EU: What It Means For Europe And Global Economy

As of 7 AM this morning UK time, it became official. Great Britain decided by the margin of 4% to
leave European Union. It is no doubt a historic event as it will shape the future of not only UK and EU, but the rest of the world as well.

The people of Great Britain decided to reclaim its sovereignty despite of bullying and scare tactics from the globalists. This will be a big shock to already weak EU, but I believe it will work for good despite of initial scares on the stock market, unless of course the elites decide to make an example of Britain and initiate global economic crush in order to scare all nations into some sort of global economic and later a political union instead.

This would kind of fall in line with what late brother John Paul Jackson predicted about some major event in Europe triggering  a sharp decline in the value of euro, which then US dollar would follow within a week. He also said that this same event would lead to the reform of the EU in which Poland would play a major role, I guess we will have to wait and see if he was correct.

I think it just depends on how EU will react to this news. People on the Brexit side made it clear that though they will be leaving EU, they desire a  good economic relationship with the rest of Europe, and that there will be no radical change in the way Great Britain conducts business. The process of leaving itself will take minimum 2 years according to the EU regulations, which other EU members will be watching closely.

We must pray now for wisdom for both British politicians and EU politicians to wisely implement the will of  majority of the British people. It would be great if EU became once again more of an economic than political union, though the global elites who dream of ruling one world government will not be happy about this.

Prophetically, I think it would slow down the implementation of the new world order and give us more time to pray for people, nations, and to share the gospel with them. My country of Poland had never as yet experienced a strong move of God , and  keeping their sovereignty following the example of Great Britain would open the door to that and bring more stability once again in Europe. In a long run, I think it will make UK stronger, and will force the rest of EU to reform for the better. I hope and pray that this will be the case.
