"Seven Christian Detainees
Released by Saudis"
June 10, 2005
According to a report by the Christian Wire Service, Saudi officials announced the
release of seven Christians yesterday (Thurs), who have been held in a Saudi prison.
Six of the Christians had been detained since May 28th, when they were arrested
for having Bibles, crosses and teaching materials in their possession. Samkutty
Varghese from India, the 7th detainee, had been held since March.
Saudi officials deny any practices of arresting and torturing Christians; however,
it is illegal in Saudi Arabia to express any faith other than Wahabbist Islam. The
Christians' release was contingent on them signing a renunciation of non-Muslim
practices. Of the seven prisoners, four have been repatriated to India, while the
others are waiting to hear whether or not they will be allowed to remain in the
Saudi kingdom.
Last year the United States deemed Saudi Arabia to be a "Country of Particular Concern
for Severe Violations of Religious Freedom" . . .

"Pray In" the
Pre-Ordained!

 As
people of God who are experiencing many major shifts and transitions in our life's
experiences in this earth, we have grown apt to pray and intercede to God according
to the feelings of our infirmities. We have grown accustomed to praying according
to our response to the thing, as well as our reactions to shifts in the Spirit,
the natural, and the provisional.
When you pray from a reactional dimension, we are left to wonder if God is hearing
us. We are left to ponder our magnitude of faith, commitment, and holiness to the
Lord as well. We are usually left open to the attack of the enemy as it relates
to our faith, waiting, expectation, and patient endurance! Usually, in the midst
of endurance, many have come to faint in the faith. They may not desire to, but
the unknown, as well as the intensity of the need and the deadline, will usually
team up together and deliver an invisible "sucker punch" to the Mind.
But the Spirit of the Living God has indeed given us a strategy that will allow
us to prevail every time during these uncomfortable seasons of the "waiting on the
unknown!" It is found in one's "praying in the Pre-Ordained!"
He Will Activate and Manifest the Truths That
Were Established in the Beginning!
You see, nothing on earth, in earth, and in the realms of the invisible, can keep
from you what God has already given you before the foundations of the earth! When
God opens a door, that door was opened before the beginning of time. And even though
you may be standing before something that is closed off, what you are actually seeing
is a lie. God does not have to respond to what is a lie. He will activate and manifest
the truths that were established in the beginning!
The sons of God are told to live by faith. When we live by faith, we are actually
living by the power of what has already been done. We are living by the "Pre-Ordained,"
and not by sight, which is actually a "lie in temporary clothing!" We are inspired
by the Living God not to live by what is reactionary, but by what is visionary.
We were created to live by the Pre-Ordained Dimensions of Life, and not the temporal.
For we walk by faith, and not by sight. We live by the Done, and not by "what someone
said, or DID." We live by Done and not by "what someone, or something, is doing!"
Look at our Ultimate Example, Jesus Christ. He is the Example for all sons of God
in the earth to take notice, practice, live, and become. We are conformed to the
image of the Father's dear Son. Our lives, responses to the Spirit, and expectation
in God, are to imitate that of Christ. Our imitation of Christ comes as a result
of the Nature that we, too, partake of in the Father. True imitation (expression)
derives from the Spirit of the Father's nature. There can be no true essence of
God without the true Nature that expresses it. Imitation, without the Nature, are
"works" and "forms of godliness." And works will eventually burn you out!
How to "Pray In" the Pre-Ordained!
When you pray, pray the Father's will. The Father's will is not an answer in response
to a dilemma, but the intentions of the Father's Heart that is necessary to prioritize
and direct a person's life. Pray the intentions of God in all things. As you pray
the Father's will, you will discover that many of the dilemmas we face are actually
part of the plans of God. God has invested in the "end result" (which is really
that "Already Done") and He is not bothered by the "particulars" that causes much
of our frustration.
When God closes a door, He has already closed it before the foundations of the world.
God has already protected His investment in you, even though you may face much trial,
temptation, or frustration. He has already closed the door to the enemy. Destruction
may come "close" to you, but it cannot come in. Do not allow the spirit of fear
to come in your "house" and bring destruction. Sometimes, when faith has not been
lived from, we can find ourselves destroying our own progress by reacting or responding
to things negatively, even though the thing has already been taken care of by God.
We walk by the Pre-Ordained and the Already Done. We do not walk by temporary lies
which affect what we see, feel, and hear. We live from the Will of God, and not
from what is temporal or destructive in appearance. We live from what was already
spoken of in God.

relevance, he grasps what is both revelatory and real." - John L.

don't need to go on and on about Graham. Just know that you will not go away
from this encounter with a man of God unchanged. I sure didn't. I never do. Even
when I sit down and have coffee with him (oh, he calls it 'St. Arbucks!').
