Food For Thought - March 2010

BY Dr. Elias Malki

We have a saying in the Middle East - Have one thousand enemies outside your home but not one inside your home. The Good Old’ U.S.A. is the land of the free and the home of the brave. America’s gates have been opened to the world. I recall when I arrived in this country in November 1952 I fell in love with America. I automatically integrated into the American way of life. I became an American by choice. I was amazed when I saw that America has always fought her enemies on Foreign soil and not on U.S. soil. Thousands have come through these gates and they love this country. By choice they integrated into the American way of life and became true citizens. Yet it is sad to say that others that have entered these gates, enjoy our freedom, but have hate and want to change what made America great, strong and blessed of the Lord. Many of these people are now occupying sensitive government positions. They have the authority to change what made America strong and a blessing to the whole world.

Yes, we are fighting the enemy in two wars, Iraq and Afghanistan. But it is more dangerous when the enemy is on U.S. soil. I believe God can change the enemies that are outside and inside this country. The Church is the light of the world and the salt of the earth. We the Church need to rise with prayer and fasting, bearing in mind that Daniel was alone when he prayed and fasted for his people. We need to pray that God will bring the enemy of America to the foot of the cross, and that God will raise men and women like the founders of this nation to take positions in these sensitive areas of government. To lead this nation as the early fathers did, so that we can remain living safely in our beloved America. The land of the free and the home of the brave. Thank you for taking the matter seriously. Also, thank you my partners for being a part of this ministry. The gospel we preach has changed many of these people.
