Freedom
Liberating Iran and Resetting the World
Massive bombing by U.S. and Israeli forces continue to take out Iran’s nuclear re-build and ballistic missiles and many of their top leadership. Despite numerous negotiations, Iran’s leaders refused to give up their global jihad as the world’s leading terrorist nation.
Now they are reaping what they have sown.
Iran is world’s 17th most populous country (93 million people). The liberation of Iran from the clutches of a an evil religious tyranny could change the course of history.
Control the Streets, Control the Culture
Blythe Harper was a mentor in 1972-73 when I was studying and doing missions work in New Zealand. He ran the Christian bookstore in downtown Auckland and served as a leading organizer of a national “Jesus March” movement.
During that time, believers in Kiwiland took to the streets to lift up the Name of Jesus, bind the principalities and powers, place Bibles in every home, and bring “shalom” to their country.
It worked. New Zealand was a blessed nation during that era and made a huge contribution to global missions. Why? They understand that if you control the streets you control the culture.
We must re-learn that lesson in the 2020’s.
Freedom for Iran
I vividly remember the Islamic Revolution of 1979 when Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran and brought with him the darkness of theocratic evil.
Though the Shah (Mohammad Reza Pahlavi) was no saint, before the mullahs took over, Iran and Israel were America’s closest allies in the Middle East. You read that right. Closest allies.
Now forty-seven years later, the protests by the Iranian people against their authoritarian government just might usher in a rebirth of the nation–and increased peace in the Middle East.
Pray for freedom for the Persian people -and how the USA might help.
