PRAYER CHANGES THINGS!

We have all had to face difficult and even sad times of late and so much around us is constantly changing.  Thankfully God is not subject to change and remains constant in a time of many inconsistencies.

Whoever, or wherever you are God is right there with you...He's nearer than hands or feet for you have His Word even in your mouth.  Use God's Word to pray yourself out of any situation that you may face or be confronted with. 

The Bible has many examples of people who prayed and as a result brought visible change to their communities and environments.

Look how Daniel prayed - Daniel 9:16-18

16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem,(say the name of your location) thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.

18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.

AMEN!

Covid, Crises & Christ

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: 

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee 

with the right hand of my righteousness

Isaiah 41:10 

The advent of  COVID-19 has changed and transformed our global reality overnight.  The world was literally caught off guard and thrown into a crises that it is still reeling from.  

When crises come into our lives we are reminded of just how really fragile and susceptible we all are to the things that are going on around us.  We all make plans for our future, thinking that we are in control of our lives, but a situation like our present one - a global pandemic has the ability to change EVERYTHING!   

Human life is priceless regardless of whatever status we are regarded by.  The economic consequences that a catastrophe like Covid 19  brings is one we are compelled to face together and we must endeavour at all costs to care for the lives of all. 

Diseases, just like crises, makes no distinction between our given societal classifications or status, our wealth, fame or even obscurity; regardless of this we find ourselves wholly vulnerable and  interconnected to each other and in need of each other...We have a common enemy but together we can and we will overcome!  

Problems whether big or small are not an issue for God, He is the true source of every type of deliverance and lasting security and He is trustworthy. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (2 Tim. 1: 7).  Knowing this will assist you to face all circumstances with confidence and in complete peace (Isaiah 26: 3).

Begin to feed your faith the moreso in these uncertain times.  Just like King David "encourage yourself in The Lord" (1 Sam 30:6) if you cannot find anyone around you to do so.  Your hope will encourage you to move forward in the midst of every difficulty and also in all the circumstances that you face daily.

I encourage you today -  let us join together and become as one in prayer not just for our own lives and healing, but let us remember to include in our prayers, healing for others and our sick world and land:

“If my people, which are called by my name, 

shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, 

and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, 

and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14
