PRAY FOR AMERICA: THANK GOD for His many blessings on America throughout it's history. May we then ask that AMERICA once again be a blessing TO GOD, by once again submitting to HIS will in our affairs - both personal and national - that He may truly "heal our land." (2 Chron. 7:14)
WORLD-WDE PRAYER REQUESTS:
Friday, Sept. 26th - Two Year Anniversary of Pastor Saeed Abedini's Imprisonment in Iran! - [NOTE TODAY'S POST!]
We need to continue to pray for Pastor Saeed - that his health will improve and that he will be re-united with his wife and two young children who live in the United States. We also remain hopeful that in addition to getting the medical care he so desperately needs, that Iranian officials display the kind of humanitarian treatment that often accompanies the start of the Iranian New Year which began on March 21st. This is the time of year when the Iranian government frequently offers clemency to prisoners of conscience. [If you have not yet, please sign the petition for his clemency- http://beheardproject.com/saeed#sign]
"Not Everyone Happy with Religious Ambassador Pick," Caitlin Burke,July 29, 2014;
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2014/July/Obama-Taps-Rabbi-for-Religious-Freedom-Ambassador/ "..An estimated 76 percent of the world's population live in countries where religious freedom is restricted. Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States must take a strong stand against those violations. "Around the world repressive governments and extremists groups have been crystal clear about what they stand against, so we have to be equally clear about what we must stand for," Kerry said. "We stand for greater freedom, for greater tolerance, greater respect, for rights of freedom of expression and freedom of conscience," he said A key development in the 2013 report is the large number of displaced members of religious communities, including entire Christian communities in Syria and Iraq that have been forced to flee their homes because of persecution."
SIGN A PETITION TO THE UN FOR THE PROTECTION OF CHRISTIANS :" The church in Syria has shone brightly for 2,000 years. But today violence and persecution threatens its survival. Thanks to an incredible response, Open Doors is helping 8,000 families in Syria survive each month. We believe the signatures and prayers of 500,000 people will encourage the UN to act and protect the rights and lives of all Syrians, especially the vulnerable Christian community."

UPDATE: "Second US Doctor Sick with Ebola; Crisis 'Out of Control'" - CBNNews.com, Sept. 02, 2014;
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/healthscience/2014/September/A-Losing-Battle-Ebola-Going-to-Get-Worse-CDC-Says/ "Another American doctor in Liberia has tested positive for the Ebola virus, according to the international Christian mission organization, SIM. SIM leaders report the American doctor was treating obstetrics patients at the organization's ELWA Hospital in Monrovia and not treating Ebola patients..."The epidemic is going faster than we are," he warned. 'We need to scale up our response. We can hope for new tools and maybe they'll come, but we can't count on them.' So far, the West African outbreak has killed more than 1,500 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria."
Of course, let's CONTINUE PRAYING FOR AN END TO THE EBOLA CRISIS IN WEST AFRICA AND THE HEALING OF ALL THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INFECTED.
PRAY FOR THE CRISIS HAPPENING NOW IN IRAQ (see post #907) Pray that allied forces will be able to drive the group ISIS back (see post #964)
LATEST:"Christians in the Middle East Arm Themselves As Genocide Comes to Their Front Door" - Katie Pavlich | Sep 05, 2014;
http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2014/09/05/christians-in-the-middle-east-arm-themselves-as-violence-rages-around-them-n1887849" Earlier this week the BBC and Al Jazeera both reported on armed Iraqi citizen volunteers who helped government forces fight off ISIS in Amerli. Today, the AP is out with a story about Christians in the Middle East who are arming themselves, carrying weapons with them during daily tasks and heading to the hills at night to defend their communities as violence continues to rage around them. Genocide is at their front door and they're doing everything they can to stop it from coming in... So far, the terror army ISIS has slaughtered and tortured thousands of Christians in Iraq and Syria."

"This Millennial Mom’s Incredible Sacrifice for Her Daughter" - Katrina Trinko / @KatrinaTrinko / October 01, 2014 / http://dailysignal.com/2014/10/01/millennial-moms-incredible-sacrifice-daughter/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailydigest&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRonsqvLZKXonjHpfsX56eguXa%2B3lMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4DRMNhI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFQrLBMa1ozrgOWxU%3D
When then-pregnant Ashley Bridges found out she had bone cancer, she refused to have an abortion in order to have the recommended chemotherapy treatment. “There’s no way I could kill a healthy baby because I’m sick,” Bridges told the Los Angeles CBS affiliate.
Bridges, who is 24, found out when she was eight months pregnant that her cancer had spread. “And that’s basically when they told me it was terminal,” said the young mother, who also has a six-year-old son.
She delivered daughter Paisley, now two months old, and has been having chemotherapy treatment since. But doctors say she has less than a year left.
“I tried so hard to keep Paisley safe and do the minimum to keep her healthy … The thought that I’m not going to see her grow up is really hard,” Bridges said.Bridges’ fiancé, who serves in the military, is taking care of Paisley during the night. She’s also been getting help from family. “She’s a real life superhero,” Jessica Bridges, her sister, said while crying.
Bridges said she doesn’t regret her decision.Paisley, she said, is “my little sunshine.”

"Days Before The Abortion of Their 'Disabled' Baby, They Said No, Now He’s Perfectly Healthy" - by Steven Ertelt | London, England | LifeNews.com | http://www.lifenews.com/2014/09/26/days-before-the-abortion-of-their-disabled-baby-they-said-no-now-hes-perfectly-healthy/
Robyn and Adam Wilson were told their unborn baby might not survive and doctors advised them to have an abortion because their child was supposedly in a grave condition. Doctors said it was likely he would be born with a life-limiting illness and may have Down syndrome.
On the advice of their physicians, the Wilsons scheduled an abortion. Days later, they changed their mind and now their health child us turning two. The couple held on to a ‘slither of hope’ and refused to give up on their son and now little Harry was born healthy and with no sign of any illness and ready to celebrate his birthday.
This amazing story is another incredible reminder to not give up hope and to give life a chance..

"Shane Haley is due Oct. 12, and he’s probably going to die soon after he’s born. He has anencephaly and will be born without parts of his brain and skull. But his parents, Jenna and Dan Haley of Pennsylvania, refuse to let his short time out of the womb affect memory-making with their son.
