Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of famous evangelist Billy Graham, recently released a prophetic warning and calls for urgent prayer. "As I look ahead into 2016, I believe our national and global situation will get worse. A good friend has focused my attention on Isaiah 60:1-2 as a word from the Lord for the New Year: "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For the darkness shall cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord shall rise upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you." I can feel the encroaching dark-ness of evil that is like a heavy moral and spiritual fog. It's permeating our nation at every level. At the very same time that our nation is enveloped in thick darkness, God commands us to arise, let our Light shine, and the distinctive glory of our Lord will be obvious to all. These conflicting thoughts of thick darkness and light, of encroaching evil and glory, were on my mind during these days before Christmas of 2015. I have been meditating on 2 Chronicles 20 in which Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, was warned that a vast army was coming against him. As I put myself in his place, I asked myself, what do we do when we are warned of the enemy's advance? The answer was given in the next verse: "Then Jehoshaphat was fearful and set himself to seek the Lord, and he called for a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah was assem-bled to seek the Lord; even from all the cities of Judah, they came to obtain aid from the Lord" (2 Chron. 20:3-4). Jehoshaphat led God's people in a prayer that was a desperate heart's cry for help! I have been repeatedly warned in my spirit that the enemy is advancing. It's something that I know. And I feel compelled, like Jehoshaphat, to lead God's people also in a desperate prayer for help before we plunge past the point of no return into the abyss of God's judgment. The glory is that God answered Jehoshaphat's prayer by reas-suring him, "'Do not fear, nor be dismayed because of this great army, for the battle is not yours, but God's. ...It will not be necessary for you to fight in this conflict. Take your positions, stand, and observe the delive-rance of the Lord for you, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Do not fear or be filled with terror. ... (T)he Lord will be with you" (2 Chronicles 20:15, 17). What is the position we are to take up? I believe it's a position on our knees as we humble ourselves, seek God's face, repent of our sin and intercede for our nation. Then, having done all, we stand firm in our faith that God has heard and will answer our prayer! http://www.charismanews.com ... ooo OOO ooo ...
Darkness is prevalent and thickening all over the globe. No corner of the world is excluded from the vicious attacks of the enemy. Satan has been a murderer, adversary, and liar from the beginning, seeking to inflict suffering on mankind. As this age is drawing to a close, he is intensifying his warfare, for he knows his time is short. We as Christians should unite in prayer and fasting for our communities and children, so that we can rise, shine, overcome and live victo-riously! - Editor, Good News
