Happy Wednesday!

So, did the Jolly announcement help anyone yesterday?

It helped me several times throughout the day, and especially again this morning when I read about the Presidents “strategy” for Afghanistan. Grrrrrr… dear God save the King! Really, I mean that… I’m praying more for our government TODAY than ever in my life! I believe America is RACING in the wrong direction behind a frilly banner of HOPE and CHANGE… and I’m terrified for the potential state of America in 2012.

What kind of message are we sending our enemy with this announcement? “Hey Taliban-even though we’re sending in more troops to “bolster our military efforts”… if you guys can just hold on until 2011… we promise to withdraw our troops then… no matter what.”

To me, it seems like our President’s “war strategy” was an obvious political move… not a military one. Even though President Obama did not WANT to send the requested troops, he did. This was an attempt to appease the right side of our nation. Then, to APPEASE all of his friends on the left side of our nation… he tagged on a deadline for troop withdrawals.

I don’t want to inspire a furry of political debate here… especially during the JOLLY SEASON! Neither do I wish to fuel a revolt against our President. We all have our varying opinions about the war, politics, and the future of our nation. Actually, I’m envisioning another way for you and me to GET OUR JOLLY ON!

Let’s announce a PRAYER SURGE!

I mean think about the current battle in Afghanistan. Right away: THIS WEEK and THIS MONTH, we’re SURGING at our enemy with a tsunami of American warriors: 30,000 of them! The difference will be FELT, the enemy will suffer!

Surge defined:

• To rise and move in a billowing or swelling manner.
• To move like advancing waves.
• To increase suddenly.

What if back here, in our fatherland, some of we radicals were to RISE and MOVE in a BILLOWING and SWELLING MANNER? What if we would MOVE LIKE THE ADVANCING WAVES? What if we INCREASED SUDDENLY… and we SURGED at the spiritual front lines of our nations biggest battles? What if our president, and our military… and our national-state-and local government… and our economy… and all American citizens were SURGED with the epic PRAYERS of its Christian Church!

The difference will be FELT, the enemy will suffer… and things would QUICKLY change for the better!

The following Bible verse is an oldie but a goody… it still works for the generation that works IT: 2 Chronicles 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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Now thats a JOLLY THOUGHT! The great HOPE of a praying generation! Let’s SURGE today… and this week… and this month… and next year… until this land is secured and our wars are WON!

There’s so much more I could say on this subject… but I’m out of time. I pray you all a most triumphant Wednesday and a WHOLE LOT MORE JOLLY! God bless you all!!
