GOD ANSWERS PRAYERs
Egyptian Christians Turned the Tide:
Watch this video and you will know why the outcome of the Egyptian protests came out as best as it could be:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnddS_cLGP8 For years our Egyptian brothers and sisters have been praying fervently for their nation, the Arab region and the entire world. Their regular prayer meeting usually draws a thousand people each time. Is there any wonder why God is moving so powerfully now?
Miracle on Friday, February 11th:
Mubarak supporters started to attack peaceful demonstrators midway through the protests at Tahrir Square . The situation looked bleak and it looked like everything would turn violent giving Mubarak the excuse to use force. To make it worst, a few thousand convicts were either released from jail or escaped on their own. They were causing havoc on the streets. On Friday, February 11th, the number of protesters swelled because it was the day of worship. However, they were also most vulnerable because of it. (They prostrate themselves in prayer.) What better opportunity for the trouble-makers to cause disruption to the protests. Then the Christians took the initiative and did a most gallant thing. They held hands and formed a human protective wall around the Muslims so that they could fulfil their religious obligation.
Miracle on Sunday, February 13th:
The Kasr El Debora Evangelical Church is located right next to Tahrir Square . For a few weeks its 8,000 regular worshippers were not able to get to the sanctuary to pray. On February 13th, they took the bold step of taking the worship to the Square. This is totally unthinkable just a month ago. In the past, this would be illegal and it would draw serious and deadly consequences not only from the government but from the public. However, this is a dream of the Church, that someday they will be able to openly and publicly worship the Lord. They thought it would take another 50 years before this would become a reality. But on February 13ththey took that step by faith. 250,000 were at the Square that day, most of them Muslims. Due to the Christian gesture on February 11th, the worship went on without any disturbances. In fact, many in the Square joined in the worship, in prayers and in singing.

Miracle on Wednesday, February 16th:
With this historic breakthrough, Christians invited Muslims to come to Church to pray for the nation, for peace and for the new leader. Amazingly, one thousand Muslims joined 2,500 Christians in prayer. Could we be experiencing the partial fulfilment of Isaiah 19:22-25?
22 The LORD will strike Egypt , striking but healing; so they will return to the LORD, and He will respond to them and will heal them.
23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
24 In that day Israel will be the third party with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,
25 whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”
God is shaking up Egypt to call Israel to repentance. In the last thirty years, Israel , through the help of USA has become dependent on Mubarak’s Egypt to give them a sense of peace, false peace. God wants Israel to not trust in Egypt but to return to Him in repentance and in trust:

For thus the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel , has said,
“In repentance and rest you will be saved,
In quietness and trust is your strength.”
But you were not willing,
And you said, “No, for we will flee on horses,”
Therefore you shall flee!
“And we will ride on swift horses,”
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
Isaiah 30:15
This email has touched me deeply and has opened my blind eyes towards my brothers and sisters of other religions. I personally feel that we have no right to scrutinize their beliefs unless of course we are willing to sacrificially show God's love to us and for them.
