Intercede Now for Sudan

Rewinding to a year ago, Sudan never crossed my thoughts.  But now it is at the forefront of my thoughts because I have a dear friend who is a Sudanese refugee.  Her heart is heavy for her family in Sudan.  She loves her country and desires peace for her people.  The January 9th referendum is drawing near, and believers are being asked to intercede big time for this day.  www.christianitytoday.com  has some articles explaining what is going on there.  As they say:

"If there were ever a time for intercession in international affairs, this is it."

What do we pray?  From Window International Network, here is a list:

PRAY FOR:

• Christian Believers in Sudan to engage in spiritual warfare and enforce their spiritual authority in Christ Jesus. Pray for them to put on the full armor of God and stand confidently against the enemy's schemes. (The Bible, Ephesians 1:15-23; 6:11).
• the LORD to arise and defend His people. Pray for unity in the Body of Christ in Sudan and for the Church to overcome the enemy through prayer and fasting. (The Bible, Psalm 68:1; I Corinthians 12:12; Matthew 16:10)
• Christian Believers to know those who are with them are more than those who are against them. Pray for the LORD to open their eyes to see the Army of God encamped around them. (The Bible, II Kings 6:16,17)
• the Lord to raise up prophets who will speak His instruction, hope and vision to the people, helping them during this difficult time. (The Bible, Ezra 5:2)
• nothing to stand in the way of the voting - not threats, corruption, intimidation, violence, or evil of any kind. (The Bible, Psalm 97:5)

Our God is mighty to save!
