Day of Prayer Event Called For Saturday, August 1, 2015

I don’t know how to adequately put in words how I feel at this moment.

Numb. Shock. Sick at heart.

While all of these are true, they don’t fully express the heaviness I feel.

I just learned of an event that took place this past Saturday in Detroit, when a false image of Satan on a throne with two adoring children nearby was unveiled. The Satanic “church” hosting the event hopes to place the statue in Little Rock, Arkansas after their previous attempt to have it placed in Oklahoma City was denied.

I will say this.

Of all the emotions rushing through me at the moment, the one I don’t at all feel is fear.

Our God is greater! He reigns! He is victorious!

But still the heavy ache in my chest will not go away. I grieve for what our world has become. I mourn for what is yet to come. I hurt for those who have wandered away–that they will turn back before it’s too late.

So in response to this abominable statue, I created a Facebook event for this coming Saturday, August 1, a day of prayer for all Christians to bombard the gates of heaven on behalf of this country and this world. You can join us here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1447444982231438/

Please share the event and invite your friends so we can stand together against this evil as we cry out to our Mighty God.

Yes, I am more than aware that all this has been foretold. The increase in wickedness is to be expected and prepared for. But that doesn’t negate our responsibility to prostrate ourselves before the throne of God’s grace and mercy and cry out to Him.

Here are some specific ways in which we all can pray.

Pray for those deceived by Satan.
Pray that the devil’s lies will be exposed before more are swayed to worship evil.
Pray for godly men and women of God to step forward and lead others to do the same as we go to battle against something I never expected to see in my lifetime.
Pray for God to bring down that statue, just as the statue of the false “god,” Dagon, fell before the ark of God.

After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon. When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. -1 Samuel 5:1-4

Pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world, who daily stand strong for their belief in Christ, even in the face of death.
Pray for our complacent and half-asleep brothers and sisters, who need to wake up before the enemy draws them in.
Pray that those of us unaccustomed to the loss of religious liberty will stand strong, even if it means dying for what we believe.
Pray for godly leaders on every level of our government. While elected officials can’t  save us, they can keep us from going in the wrong direction and even head us back in the right direction.
Pray for unity among those who belong to God and His family.
Pray for God’s wisdom, guidance, and direction.
Pray that we will continue to be about His business of making disciples and leading others closer to Him.
Pray for God’s perfect will and timing.
Pray for Jesus to come quickly!
