Action Alert
June 24, 2005
Canada is in a crisis
in the natural realm, perhaps as a result of a crisis in the
church.
Marriage is about to be redefined, government corruption is at
unprecedented levels, and now historical democratic conventions have been
violated.
On June 27th there will very likely be a vote to redefine
marriage. And Bill C-38 will be passed if that happens, short of divine
intervention.
The legal re-definition of marriage can never change
the essence and substance of biblical marriage as between one man and one woman,
just as God's word will never change.
But it is incumbent upon all of us as God's
Church to pray earnestly over these next few days and to call upon God that His
will be done in His nation. Pray that the political leaders do not open
themselves and this nation to the enemy in this matter.
Pray that Members of Parliament (MPs) will
do what is right in God's eyes.
Should marriage be redefined, it will
become the sole responsibility of the church and parents to preach and teach
that marriage is still one man and one woman. There is no other source of truth
except the church and God-fearing parents. In fact, if the church fails to do
this, in one or perhaps two generations the ideal of marriage will be lost to
the children of this nation.
I ask: Would you set aside time this weekend
to lead people in prayer for our nation? This is a priority issue in Canada.
NOW. Perhaps prayer in front of the MP offices would be worthwhile, but most
certainly, anyone who prays, pray in home groups, church services or in private
is a MUST. We must do all we can and trust God's will is the
result.
I sensed God show me another area of great concern in
Canada: that a "spirit of deception" has covered this nation like a blanket. It
has deceived many including His church. Canadians have failed to respond in a
righteous manner to moral and social issues in Canada because we have been
deceived.
The best weapon against deception is to expose it with
truth.
And the best weapon for the church is prayer.
May I suggest we
focus on these three areas for prayer:
1)
God's will be done in upholding the definition and ideal of marriage as
a man and woman.
2)
MPs will not be influenced and directed by an anti-Christ spirit, but
will be influenced and directed by Spirit of God and
righteousness.
3) The church rise up
in prayer to break the spirit of deception over Canada so we may understand and
fulfill God's call.
May we enter into intercession this next 3 days at a
new level, nationally?
Would you lead in prayer on Saturday June 25 and
Sunday June 26 in all services?
God, grant us mercy and bless this
nation.
