Prayer for a revival 2. Evil attacks all that is good in creation, seeking to steal and destroy. But God is stronger.
(Notes inpired by Evert-Jan Ouweneel, Strategy Director Identity within the Dutch Salvation Army)
As his disciples, we are called to be that prophetic voice in the storm of bad news.
We declare that this world is still in the hand of God. This world is still a safe place created and desired by God. We must repeat: "God wants me and you, he wants to give life, to restore, to equip".
We cannot fix the world. But we need extraordinary faith and commitment to do what we can today, here.
We must remain calm and at peace in Christ.
We must remain compassionate to our neighbor.
We must remain peacemakers.
We must remain visionary and build God's kingdom.
We must remain hopeful, faithful and joyful.
With our prophetic voice, we must stand in the storm and proclaim the Word of God as Ezekiel did:
« Thus says the Lord God:
Come from the four winds, O Breath, Holy Spirit,
and breathe on these slain that they may live. »
Ezekiel 37.9
Bible reading Ezechiel 37.1-10
