Hati
In the spirit of solitude worship and prayer, let us take some time to pray for the people of Hati. This tragic event can shake the core of christians and none christians alike. Jesus told Peter that satan has asked to sift him as wheat. Jesus replied "but I have prayed for your faith that your faith might not fail". When satan's course is over Jesus told Peter to strengthen his brothers. Jesus didnt pray for the pain and suffering to go away nor did He rebuke satan. Jesus has the power to send satan away from Peter like He did in the wilderness, but He didnt. He allowed satan to serve his purpose in Peters life.
let satan run his course in Hati and in the world we live in, but lets pray for the faith of the people of Hatian descent and the skeptics alike. let us continue to reassure them that God is in the struggle with them. We must remember in the face of these calamities God is still soverign and He is still benevolent. As evil, chaos and destruction runs it course in human history God is in the the tradgedy with us and our families. He is carrying us and He has set the parameters for evilto operate. God is the midst of the agony and suffering with us. He is in the fire and our deaths. He is greiving with the people of Hati. This was not God's intention for them to suffer when He created the world. Adam had turned the keys of control to this physical universe to satan, and he must run his course so he chooses to rule the world by terror and fear. God has set parameters for him to operate, and in the midst of that God is running a rescue shop on the gates of Hell to redeem and save our souls.
We have to be careful not to draw conclusion and judge the people and country, regardless of they their spirituality, or practices of occultism God still loves them and He has been working out their redemption since the beginning of time. Towers fell in the days of Jesus. Natural disasters are not new, nor will they stop.
The people brought a sick man to Jesus, they asked Him, Master whose sin caused this to happen, was it his mother or his father they asked.? Jesus replied that it was neither, but rather for God's power to be made manifest. God operates according to a pattern based on a principle. God's power of recovery and redemption is still at work in the midst of this catastrophy. lives are going to be touched, people will get saved, and some will loose and question their faith in Him. We have to be there to pray that God will strengthen that country and the millions scattered all over the Globe. God is still Good. He is Benevolent. As He was in the fire with the three hebrew boys so is He now in the midst of pain and suffering. He is omnipotent. He is all loving, He is everlasting. He brought us hope in the person of Jesus Christ, hope and redemption are some of His specialities. lets us look with spiritual eyes and see the salvation of God
This is a call to arms for all christians to pray and share the spiritual gifts that God has baptized us with. This is where we express Christ in Culture. This is the mandate for the decade. This is a war cry and our weapons are in Ephesians chapter 6. lets suit up for battle because we will never know when the General will call us to fight. (provide us an opportunity to testify of his goodness and His redemption).
God bless us all.
