as we take our place in the battle!

The recent riots up and down this country shows the extent to which the people of this country and particularly the youngsters has strayed away from the principles of Godly living. The prince of this world has unleashed a spirit of lawlessness against the decent Christian people in this country. The basic building blocks of manners and respect have been jettisoned for envy, greed and lawlessness. We are told by an ancient writer that these vices along with wrath, anger and abusive language are the direct opposite to a life that pleases God (see Colossians 3). In the past when this country was faced with impending danger, King George VI called for a national day of prayer. This occurred on the 26th May 1940. God is raising up people who are prepared to fight this battle in the ‘spiritual realm’ rather than attacking the youngsters themselves. They are being used by the enemy as their minds are fertile ground.  Listen to what a Daily Mirror writer, Paul Routledge says about the underlying problems: “I blame the pernicious culture of hatred around rap music, which glorifies violence and loathing of authority (especially the police but including parents), exalts trashy materialism and raves about drugs.” We as people of faith need to be extolling the virtues of the gospel of Jesus Christ, after all we know that it is the power of God to the salvation for everyone who believes and is prepared to allow the Spirit of the Lord to transform them(see Romans 1:16). Can this nation be saved? Well if we believe that nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37) let us start take our stand in the battle. Join in a prayer movement and let us all Push, Pray Until Something Happens.  Read the book of Jonah.
