Bomb Kills Dozens of Police in Pakistan

A suspected suicide bomb exploded in a police compound mosque during afternoon prayers in Peshawar, Pakistan yesterday, at least 88 people and injuring about 50 others during afternoon prayers.

Pakistan is nearly 98% Muslim and ranks seventh on the list of most dangerous countries for Christians due to violent Islamic oppression. It is home to 828 people groups still unreached with the gospel of Christ. Throughout Muslim nations, a movement of the Spirit has begun, drawing many to Jesus, mainly due to their hunger for Truth. They see the violence and hatred of Muslims against Muslims and long to know the God who is Love. Let’s join in prayer that millions of lost in Pakistan will experience God in deep ways and believe in the One who is their only Hope and Salvation.

Lord, our hearts are grieved at the numbers of people dying senseless and horrible deaths without the hope of salvation and eternal life. Most have never heard about Your great love and Jesus’ sacrifice for their sin. Please break their chains. Father God, in 1 John 4:8 Your Word says, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” In this region where most have never heard Your Good News (John 3:16), Muslims fight against Muslims in a reign of hatred and terror. They kill and terrorize in the name of God, because they don’t yet know You as You truly are. As they cry out to You and make their vows, answer them, O Lord, with Truth. Invade their prayers and dreams with visions of You, arms spread wide, nail scars in Your hands, inviting them to repent, believe and be saved. As suicide bombers prepare to sacrifice their lives so they can kill others, rise up, O God, get up in the face of their idols of hatred and death and speak LOVE and LIFE. Give every heart in this region such a hunger for You they will lay down their weapons, defy their traditions that lead to destruction and death, and seek the One who is the Resurrection and the Life. John 10:10, 11:25-26.

Please comfort those who mourn and heal those who are injured. When they cry out to You, answer them as the One who is the Way, the Truth and the LIFE. Burn within them a hunger for a better Way. Then, as they seek Truth, point the way to Salvation. Show them You are the only answer, the only One who can bring them the meaning and purpose their devotion seeks. Awaken every heart in this region to You, O Lord. Lift the veil from their eyes so they can see You as You truly are. Make a way for all to hear the Good News in their own language, spoken in such a way that their hearts and minds will be opened, chains will break, the scales will fall from their spiritual eyes, and they will at last freely choose You as King. Visit imams in their dreams, giving them the plan of salvation in such a clear way they are stricken with fear of the Lord, and not only turn to You to be saved, but lead entire communities to faith in You. Yes, O God, awaken the peoples of Pakistan and Afghanistan to Perfect Love that casts out fear, and transform them forever. 1 John 4.
