Timothy 2: 1,2 "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications,
prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and
all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and reverence." [Prayers that implement God’s Word]
John 15: 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who ABIDES in Me,
and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can
do nothing. 7. If you ABIDE in Me, and My Words ABIDE
in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you”
[The conditions for freedom]
2Chronicles 7:14 “if My people
who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face,
and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive
their sin and heal their land.”

EXCERPTS FROM LETTER TO EURCP
The
news today is not good eh! Is this the fall of the house of cards, I wonder, or
are the battle lines now being visibly and concretely drawn. I fear we now
begin the real war.
Barroso's back down and Buttiglione's 'martyrdom' for his Christian values tells us
much about the EU agenda. No talk at all about his political ability. In our
evening news he was called 'fundamentalist' twice. One of our most liberal
MEP's spoke out against him on the 6pm news but I do
have to say a more moderate MEP from Cork spoke about the way his Christian
values were being attacked. Mind you, this was on a news
during the day where only those at home watch, if indeed they do. [continued next page]
In
recent months I have become increasingly conscious of the need to pray for
the conversion of the hearts of 'decision makers' and the UN and the EU feature
very strongly in this!
