Egyptians praying for America
Sherrie Moore
Sep 05, 2004
I cannot tell you how many nations have an urgency to pray for our country. When in Colorado Springs a few weeks ago, I ran into a Pastor from Singapore. He is deeply moved in prayer for our nation (part of the reason for his visit). We have also heard of a great movement among the Koreans to pray for our nation. Now, below, the Egyptians.
Below is a message I received from a friend in Jordan. Please take the time to read the encouragement from Egypt to pray for the United States. I did not change the words that they used - so it may be a little awkward since English is not their first language.
Understand, I am not trying to "convince" anyone of the need for prayer in this hour. And, I may not be able to fully express in the natural the deep stirrings of the spirit and the heart towards the next couple of months in our nation - however, I WILL continue to put the message out and confidently know that there are those in this hour that have ears to hear. Even if we are experiencing great breakthroughs in our personal ministries - we need to understand that God will not judge our nation because of how WE ran OUR ministries, but how the leaders of our nation (church and civil) responded to the ills of society, the laws we pass and uphold, and how we have treated one another. I praise God for all the testimonies and good reports, but ask that we recognize that we are part of the greater whole - we are not the whole.
With bended knee,

I am passing this on because it will bless and encourage you. This is an email sent by some of my friends in Egypt who head a prayer movement there. R from Jordan
America needs prayers,
There's a lot on God's heart to be accomplished by the great nation of America. The nation that one day chose the sentence "In God we trust" to be its slogan & it was the prayer of the Americans for long "God bless America". Now it's far from that & America is badly in need for intense prayers. America needs prayers for awakening from her spiritual slumberness which passed to almost all levels in the land, including - sadly - the church. A prayer for repentance. A prayer for being aware of the consequences of choosing the enemy's ways to be hers & not the fear of the Lord.
In a vision, the Lord showed me that America is destined in a way to stand like Moses on the mountain as is in Exodus 17. There was a battle taking place underneath and there was no way for that battle to be won without the lifted hands of Moses up there on the mountain. There is a great role for America in the whole world in taking its destined place up there in the presence of the Lord regarding the battle fields underneath. In the vision, the enemy was holding a staff trying to beat Moses on his legs to prevent him
from standing in the gap on the mountain trying to hinder God's purposes to be done on earth as it is in heaven. This is exactly what the enemy is trying to do with America, both from the inside and the outside. Our heart prayer is that the Lord would open the eyes
to see the beats that the enemy is keeping to do.Accepted or not, America is seen in many places around the world is representing Christianity. The enemy is continuously trying against the Lord Jesus, His mighty work on the cross, His precious Blood, His love to the whole world and His Heart to reveal His Redemption to all mankind. The enemy is keeping attacking so it is quite natural for him to concentrate his attacks on a figure that represents the Lord.
Throughout the last few years, God used America as His extended Hand to many places all over the earth. The thing which stirred the enemy too much. However, in God's Heart, still there is a lot to be expressed on reality through that nation. It is the destiny of this nation to be the catalyst for God's purposes to be fulfilled against many strongholds in different spots of the world, east and west. Among the important spots that God is intending to use America as a catalyst are the highway nations of Isaiah 19: 23 - 25. In this strategic part of the world, in the end times, there is a deep sense that America will play a role like Moses on top of the mountain and Joshua in the battlefield (representing the highway nations).
There is a deep need for the American Church to understand how to stand in the right place and how to raise hands "both hands". Moses went to the "top of the hill" (v.10) and he kept "held up his hands"(v.11) and "his hand remained steady till sunset" (v.12). Need to notice where to stand, how to stand raising both hands (not one) (fair Godly opened eyes), how to stand steady till the time HE sees. There is a DEEP urge for the church to stand and keep on standing.
Our prayer is that God will make an open eye of understanding and an enlightment in the church of America so that they will not be satisfied by the many knowledge and prophecies they got and received but to pray for a piercing and penetrating Godly directed, sharply targeted prayers.
The coming two months till the day of election is a very crucial time and there is high expectation that the enemy will try to do an extraordinary demonic attack so as to make a shift and a diversion in the mass opinion towards ungodly choice (like what happened in Spain in the last election). May God open the eyes of His people in America to discover the hidden agendas of the enemy whether from the inside or from the outside. There is a cry of travail that the Lord wants to release in the hearts of His saints in America and those who love it that America will not loose its time of visitation. May the awareness of its important role for the end times be raised in the hearts of God's people. May the fear of the Lord will come over the people so that they will understand the critical situation of the time. May the unveiling work of the Holy Spirit reveal to the people the serious consequences of wrong choices. May God give understanding not just knowledge and wisdom, not just intelligence to know God's ways and to follow it in such a time like that.
We need to ascend, lift up both arms and worship the Lord fervently and seek His Will to be fulfilled. We should press not for partial fulfillment of God's purposes but for His complete Will and Plan to be completely and fully done.
May God protect America,
May God stretch His Mighty Hand over America,
Let the blessings of the Godly fathers find a way to come into reality & flow to other nations.
In Jesus Mighty Name.Ayman & Hala
