Whats our response?

As this is the hottest topic right now, which it defiantly should be I would like to take a few moments to share what I have been prompted with.

Praying for the Nations!! 

So what is our response to all that we are seeing and reading everyday in the news, with the sad news of the attacks in France, in Nigeria, in Beruitt, I could go on. With the earth quake in Japan, with the floods in Brasil, with the Russian Plan coming down, with the Sex trafficking that is happening daily in basically every country, on our own doorsteps? Whats our response??

Well I know that if this was happening in my town, neighbourhood or street I would want to know that there are people in the world who are thinking in me and praying for me and being willing to come and comfort us and take care of us, build us houses, or make us food, give us clothes

For me the news I have been reading over the weekend has been giving me a wake up call of "what are you doing???" How are you helping, how are you loving others? how am I caring for the world that I am apart of?

Praying for IS

I see so much time and effort put in by people writing statuses on Facebook which is fine i have done too, to share the news and this is good, but we need to put things into action when and where we can too!!

Today in our school we had our Compassion in Action moment, we have one every week and we learn and understand all the things in the world that are important on Gods heart, such as Adoption, Taking care of the poor, the prostitutes, children, and we can go on. But today we looked at our response to the sad state of our world right now, with the terrorist attacks around the world and IS causing devastation and pain and hurt.

So whats our response, well you know what we are called into war, we are called to take a stand; to fight against principalities and powers and to proclaim the truth, to pick up our swords and to fight!!

Knowing God and praying form there!!

So with Ephesians 6 in our hearts and the knowledge of Who our GOD is, the word of God in our hands, we stood on this truth that is so strong, powerful and concrete, we walked into battle and we prayers, intercede, spoke life into darkness, spoke freedom into slavery, spoke hope into hopelessness.

This was our response today, maybe we can do more too and we will keep seeking what we can do, maybe we can send clothes to the refugees, maybe we can send workers for the Red Cross and organisations who are helping, encouraging words or care packages, or we can even go and share our time, maybe there is something on our doorsteps we can help in and be a part of to show love, and to work in the opposite spirit of the evil in the world and we can LOVE......

Whats your response??

An active morning praying for our world!!
