I Prayed have prayed
Heavenly Father, Your Word says that You do not want anyone to perish, but for everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Help us to remember the love You have for all and not become hardened in response to the evil in this world.

President Donald Trump in a statement Saturday said late al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden‘s son Hamza bin Laden had been “killed in a United States counterterrorism operation in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region.”

He did not give a time period for the operation or the death.

“The loss of Hamza bin Ladin not only deprives al-Qa’ida of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group,” the President said in the statement. Trump also said “Hamza bin Ladin was responsible for planning and dealing with various terrorist groups.”

CNN previously reported on July 31 the U.S. believed Hamza bin Laden was dead. At that time, two defense officials with knowledge of the operation told CNN bin Laden had been killed at least several months prior.

CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank told CNN at the time that one thing puzzled researchers who are closely tracking al Qaeda: “If Hamza bin Laden has indeed been dead for months, you would expect al Qaeda to have released some form of eulogy before today. The fact they haven’t is highly unusual, given his status in the group.”

U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper also appeared to confirm in a Fox News interview in August that Hamza bin Laden was dead. U.S. officials told CNN Saturday the administration wanted to make sure it explored all angles and gathered all of the intelligence it could before making the announcement.

Earlier this year the U.S. State Department called bin Laden, who was believed to be in his early 30s, an “emerging” leader in the terror group, offering a million-dollar reward for information leading to his capture. As far as rewards go, however, it was a distinctly modest one. The price on the head of Ayman Az-Zawahiri, the actual leader of al Qaeda, is $25 million.

Our own government did it. Osama Ben Laden denied having anything to do with it. Sixteen foot hole in the pentagon. Look at the facts.

Dear Father, thank you for setting President Trump in office and for Your direction given to him to attack ISIS and Al Quaeda and the Cabal. The hidden powers that have been controlling up to now are being exposed. Let all your people become awake to Satan’s schemes. Protect those who are waging the war against the Deep State Cabal. Open our eyes so we can see the truth. May Your light expose all darkness. May Your justice be done! Let there be a revival among all nations where multitudes will accept You as their Savior.

Dear Lord, We know that it is not good to rejoice when someone dies, but even David and the Isrealites were overjoyed when Goliath was dead. He too was a terrorist wanting to destroy the nation of Israel. I dont know how you will deal with this young man’s soul, he was brought up to believe in a false & evil god. Have mercy on his soul, and bring comfort to his mother. But I pray; please intervene & bring Al Quaeda and all terrorist groups down, even those who now work in our hightest offices of power.
In Jesus precious name, Amen

Truly sad that our world has gone backwards, even to celebrating anyone’s death. He, like them all, are products of the lies of fear and separation from both God and each other. I pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal and heal us from the lies we have believed and WAKE US ALL. As believers we were told in
2 Chronicles 7:14 the responsibility lies, not with those asleep to God’s perfect love, but us TO LIVE HIS TEACHINGS. “Lord, may your blueprint from Heaven be how we live, not just talk.” Our Jesus teaches us to forgive ALWAYS. “May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be pleasing to You, oh God” I pray these things in the Name above all names, Jesus

Lord, I continue to pray that the power of Al Quaeda would be stripped to nothing. I pray against the evil plans of the enemy to bring destruction through this terrorist organization. Raise up champions of faith to lead masses from Muslim terrorist groups to salvation through Christ!
