PRAYER.....in the correctness of Christ

TURKEY: ALLEGED INSTIGATORS NAMED IN MALATYA MURDERS
Christians called to fast, pray ahead of trial; European parliamentarians demand justice.

Summary:
ISTANBUL, September 28 (Compass Direct News) – An e-mail message to Turkish Protestant leaders in June surfaced in the Turkish press last week, revealing the names of Malatya officials alleged to have plotted the murder of three Christians there last April. The Firat News Agency (ANF) reported on September 18 that an anonymous e-mail message signed simply “A.A.” had named a colonel in the Malatya gendarmerie along with an Islamic faculty member as the instigators of the plot to kill the three Christians. The ANF article identified the officer as Mehmet Ulger but gave only the initials of several others. A September 19 article in Birgun newspaper, however, listed the name of the faculty member as Ruhi Babat. It also identified a member of parliament from Malatya, one military commander and another suspect, claiming that the murder conspiracy had been planned for four or five months. The Alliance of Protestant Churches in Turkey is calling on Turkish congregations to designate each Thursday for prayer and fasting for the upcoming murder trial.

This story reeks of corruption at the highest levels, but that really should not surprise us. The plotting and scheming of our real enemy, Satan, has been refined into an art. Christians everywhere are being subjected to one form of persecution or another that vary in degrees, but all have the same spiritual source. We do need to pray for this trial, but let's do so with a full understanding as is given in the following portion of scripture;


Romans 8:26-28 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

I believe we need to ask ourselves; What are my weaknesses in regard to praying correctly in Christ? Do I pray hard enough to experience the "groanings too deep for words"? Is my heart and mind searchable? Do I fully understand the depth of "knowing" when it comes to God causing all things to work together for good? Am I called to His purpose...........or my own?

Let's Pray!
