Greetings,
A short word of pleading for prayer for our current need.
"Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God." - Revelation 3:2
IN the last 48 hours there has been a great increase in evil in our land. Yesterday we had our first school death of this school year. (to my knowledge) Two girls fighting and the one stabbed the other and she died from those wounds. I awoke this morning to the next tragedy of 6 dead in CA, in a murder-suicide. This death coupled with the hurricanes activity is quite alarming again that we are seeing so much in such a short time frame. And as I plead for help in prayer yet so little response to push back stop this evil from the church leadership. .
"when evil comes in like a flood, God raises up a standard bearer" This is to combat the evil that is being allowed and permitted by God upon our nation for its great evils against Him. We are in such dangerous times. And no matter how much I plead and report these EPIDEMICS upon us, it seems to little avail for the standard bearers, the church, to arise and respond. I often illustrate it that I feel like the little Dutch boy plugging the holes of the dam with his fingers and toes to stop breach. And I thank God for those of you that pray, of the remnant, in like manner.
Be watchful, strengthen the things that remain for its getting ready to die. Is God getting ready to remove our candlestick? Have we gone so long, amidst so many remedial judgements that we are nearing the end as church as we know it? I believe in 4 pillars to be maintained: 1. Bible - reading/memorizing/study/meditate; 2. Prayer - prevailing, private and corporate settings; 3. Church - active and attending; 4. Evangelize - to engage and create opportunities to speak to men of eternity and their souls.
In these 4 pillars I seek to strengthen that they may remain among the brethren. Our 24/7 prayer page will come to a close at the end of September, due to failure to have active participants engage in prayer throughout the week for these things. Another reason for 'our getting ready to die'. Working the stats to prepare for Prayer Links meeting next month find that less than 10% of all churches and entities have any monthly corporate setting of prayer. For many this is weeks, months and for some, years on end. Another reason for our death. . .
But I will be watchful. I will enter into my secret closet. I will seek to plead yet, for the time of death is near. I will continue to encourage you to deepen and engage your prayer life for His kingdom. Please consider where we are and what is going on and resolve for your prayers to be offered up this day. souls are at stake, our future is at stake.
When moments like this come with increase of evil in our land, I have pleaded with church and prayer leaders to make the body aware and call for immediate prayer to this. Always it seems with waiting till the disaster then pray. Understanding that the handwriting on the wall has happened and our nation is in great peril this day. And when evil begins to happen, I believe that the Lord is waiting for His intercessors to plead with Him to 'repent of the evil that He thought to do to us."
Therefore I am asking you to set time aside today, for I fear for what may be coming with all these things happen in so short a period of time. And I still believe that there is a greater calamity on the horizon for our nation. Economic, war, disease, I don't know. but we are in serious trouble and you are needed.
EPIDEMICS:
1. DRUGS; continued death, useage and deepening of impact upon society, future;
2. CANCER - the lists continues to grow and deepen;
3. GREAT EVIL - school death yesterday; 6 dead in murder-suicide in CA;
4. LGBT;
5. CHILDREN
6. NATURAL DISASTERS - 4 named storms in Atlantic right now; possible #5 to be named today and to hit south Texas; we keep hearing the reports and the words, 'catastrophic'; 'record' 'historic' Don't we understand what is happening!
Until,
dan
