Stirrings in Sydney

For the Last Few weeks we have been reading in the daily newspapers reports of gun shots being fired into peoples homes in the inner west and south western parts of sydney.

This appears to now be getting out of hand and you could perhaps say there is some form of gang warfare taking place with driving by shootings , Police have been involved in pursuits of armed gang members resulting in fatalities in some places.

Some times as believers we can be what is the word - indifferent, we see the crime figures , we see the spiritual state of the church.

Sydney has its problems - and on the outside it looks like Sydney is getting worse.

The only answer to seeing a decrease in crime or stability in the community is the Message of the Gospel, The Gospel of the Kingdom.

It is also a canopy of sustainable night and day prayer - where the people of god have given themselves to prayer and fasting for the City.

Sydney alone the Biggest City in Australia needs a massive spiritual cleanout.

However we the church are our own worst enemy, we put our own church programs, agendas and ministries first - Instead of actually coming to God in prayer and asking what are the things that are on his heart.

If we just cease from our own works, and spend time listening to his voice, even on matters that we read about in the newspaper.  We would see a turn around , if churches and ministries would partner together.

Let us continue in pursuing the Kingdom of God first, ask him how we should pray - especially for Peace in our City. 

If we would have more churches partnering with Generation Fire- More Prayer Furnaces could happen, and more unity between ministries, more of his presence, more of his love and fire - that would break out on the streets.

Perhaps some of these Gang leaders, would melt under the heat of Gods presence if they were to drive past a Furnace.

What could God do - if we just follow him, and obey his word....
