Nations in Revival

How to pray… when all hell is breaking loose

In many nations, terror is breaking forth, violence is trying to overtake governments, Christians are being persecuted. So how do you pray in the midst of “hell on earth”?

I’m praying for Mexico, a country that is being overrun by a very violent drug cartel. Using fear, intimidation and violence these drug runners are literally attempting to overthrow the police force and take on President Calderon’s military. It would be easy to focus on this evil - or the evils you may be facing as a minister or missionary in the nations. But we must remember that God is not out to have a perfect world - at least not right now. That is not His focus, and it shouldn’t be yours either.

God is wanting to have a people willing give their lives to Him and to His Kingdom. People that choose to live holy lives for Him in this unholy world. People who are doing everything they can to bring forth the things of God’s Kingdom into this earth. Christ must reign… and it begins by Him reigning in the people called by His name.

YES, we will fight for righteousness and justice. We will use every weapon available to us to overthrow the wickedness in this world and maintain the victory that Jesus won at the cross. But our focus must be to present God with a radiant bride, washed in the blood of her Saviour and to see that bride cover the earth with God’s glory as the waters cover the earth.

If all hell is breaking loose around you, keep your focus, maintain your priorities, and then your warfare prayers against that darkness will be powerful and effective and you will see darkness dissipate through the lives of people ablaze with the very presence of God.

Global revival is on it’s way. Lift your eyes up and see our Mighty God, Yahweh Sabaot, Lord of Hosts. Overcome darkness with His light in your eyes. - Laura Woodworth
