Greeting All Intercessors & Christian Brothers and Sisters and Friends:
Please read the following attached e-mail message from ACLJ and pray for all Christians in Egypt. Have you been praying against evil like this lately? There is injustice around the world. The cries of the victims got to the ears of our Lord. Pray that God will give wisdom and knowledge to the authorities how to capture all radical muslim brotherhood who were involved in the killing of Christians and burning of Christian churches.

Through the whole Bible, both New and Old Testaments, we found many good prophets, apostles, and disciples of God were persecuted severely. If you want to be rewarded and honored by our Lord Jesus, the true God eternally, you may have to face persecution like the Christians you found in different countries. We, Christians in America, are spoiled to me because there is not much persecution we face. Yet, we are abundant in resources but most of us are poor in spirit. It is the time to pray and seek God humbly and earnestly. Please pray for all persecuted Christians and missionaries in Egypt and other countries.
Just to remind you all that if you are a true born-again Christian, you do not belong to this world (John 17:14, 16, Jesus prayed: "They (Christians) are not of the world, just as I (Jesus) am not of the world.") and are a Citizen of Heaven (Philippians 3: 10-12 "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.").
You are here on earth for a mission call or a divine purpose whether you are a full time employee, an owner of a business, a housewife, a school student, or a minister, etc. (Ephesians 2:10). We are examples of who Jesus is and are the light of the world and salt of the earth. We show the truth and the way of eternity or heaven to all people (Mark 16:15). We pray and work diligently like a farmer (1 Peter 1:10 and Timothy 2:15 "Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure..Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth".. Please do not fear (1 John 4:18: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear", be at good courage (Matthew 14:17, 1 Corinthians 16:17).
Matthew 5:10-16: "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his Savior, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
May God bless you with a real beautiful home in heaven after this earthly life. I just pray for you all that you would value what is eternal and permanent and the free gift of salvation from Jesus Christ for all who believe in His name. Welcome to go to my website www.royalcrownlife.org for more information.
The Lord's blessed one,
Esther, your servant

Edna,
It's time to take sides in Egypt.
Egypt's Christian community is under assault from jihadist radicals.
Churches are burning, including ancient cathedrals.
Nuns are captured and paraded through the streets.
Christian homes and businesses are attacked.
Christian children are dying.
The jihadist Muslim Brotherhood, furious that it has lost power, is taking out its rage on Egyptian Christians. It's past time for a clear message from the United States.
No to Christian persecution.
No to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Sign our new petition today; add your voice before more churches burn:
Defend Egypt's Christians; Defeat the Muslim Brotherhood.
