GOD SPEED YOUR MISSION.* PLEASE, DAVE...LET ALL YOUR VALIANT COMRADES - AND THE IRAQI PEOPLE WHO CRAVE TO BE SET FREE - KNOW FOR A FACT, THAT WE ARE ALSO COVERING THEM IN PRAYER, DAY IN AND NIGHT OUT. AND WE LOVE AND RESPECT ALL OF YOU! YOU ARE SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS: THE LORD'S ARMY...AND HE IS YOUR ULTIMATE COMMANDER! *ALSO, PLEASE KNOW, THERE ARE FAR MORE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT YOU, THAN COWARDS WHO TRASH YOU, OR USE IT FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL GAIN, POLITICAL OR OTHERWISE!* YOU ARE AMERICAN HEROES OF THE FINEST ILK!!! *GOD BLESS YOU - GOD BLESS AMERICA - AND GOD BLESS THE NEW IRAQ!* *IN JESUS NAME, WE PRAY IT* *AMEN AND AMEN!* *PS.

Before he left for the service, they were co-workers...AND THEY PRAYED TOGETHER. Anna faithfully writes to him once a week, and sends him packages, as well. The last, held a purple prayer cloth, anointed under the glory of God, at the World Harvest Church with Pastor Rod Parsley, in Columbus OHIO. Dave is a Holy-Spirit filled Catholic, who hung it from the roof [tent, I think?] when he received it! Rock on, Dave! God is so amazing...He has created COUNTLESS BEAUTIFUL VESSELS...may He open our eyes to see them...in His Light.* I humbly ask all of my Fellows and Readers to enter into a Covenant with me, to pray for our President, our Military, Allies, and Civilians, and Iraqis who are struggling with them, to overcome Oppression....Haven't you ever realized, that this war is... God's choice, for THEIR DELIVERANCE? THINK ABOUT IT! love ~ rhonda

Rhonda,

More of our troops need to see this; this is rapidly becoming another Vietnam, when returning soldiers were called "babykillers" and spat on. We need to show our support and keep them in prayer.

An excellent write, thank you.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

As a Veteran, I salute you for remembering.

You sound the clarion call of the faithful and the elect of God...
May God bless our troops in Iraq, and grant us total victory over the satanic forces of evil in the world...
Our trust is in the Messiah, the Lamb of God

You are a voice crying in the wilderness make straight the way of the Lord. Many will choose to ignore you as they did the prophets of old but that will not dismay you in bringing God's word to be heard.. My God bless Sergeant David Ribar for all the brave work he has done and may he have a welcome rest.

Precious dear Saint Sister, God is using you full time, over time to spread His mercy, love and faith, dearest one. Your anointing in the Holy Spirit AMAZES me. You truly are blessed with the anointed Spirit Of God. Yes I see a Dove solid white too around you with the olive branch. Sister God is using you to life out the spirit�s of witchcraft and many more demonic entities such as dis-ease. Your a faith intercessor and divine healer through God. Your prophetic movement is so needed and thank you dear sister for your call to our amazing troops WHO WE LOVE AND ADORE AND ARE PROUD and we mourn the fallen and we comfort the ill� Treasure, dearest. God also told me you are bringing such light on such a massive scale that the anointing that destroys yokes is upon me from the messages your sending, dearest angel light!!!!!!!!
God knows there is streets of gold awaiting us one day. We are not afraid of the terror. I leave you with psalm 91, my fav.. Love you, Dove

We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods.

This I declare, that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him. For he rescues you from every trap and protects you from the fatal plague. He will shield you with his wings! They will shelter you. His faithful promises are your armor. Now you don't need to be afraid of the dark any more, nor fear the dangers of the day; nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the morning.

Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me. I will see how the wicked are punished, but I will not share it. For Jehovah is my refuge! I choose the God above all gods to shelter me. How then can evil overtake me or any plague come near? For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will steady you with their hands to keep you from stumbling against the rocks on the trail. You can safely meet a lion or step on poisonous snakes, yes, even trample them beneath your feet!

For the Lord says, "Because he loves me, I will rescue him; I will make him great because he trusts in my name. When he calls on me, I will answer; I will be with him in trouble and rescue him and honor him. I will satisfy him with a full life and give him my salvation."
