At Longwood, myself and a wonderful young Christian woman named Neena George - or Neenya - have been meeting with other Christians on campus each week to pray.I guess this is a lot like the whole "Meet me at the Pole!" thing back in high school; but this really is such a wonderful thing.
Our campus, our state, our country, and our world need prayer. The citizens of this world are in such dire straights as of today, and since all the yesterdays of the past. People are dying, physically and spiritually they are dying. It is up to us to beseech our creator, the Lord God, King of Heaven and Earth, the Alpha and Omega, for help. He is the only one who can save us.
Psalm 65:2 "O you who hear prayer, to you all men will come."
Psalm 143:1 "O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief."
Romans 12:12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Brothers and sisters, we have not been faithful in prayer, and patient in affliction, and joyful in hope. We have not prayed a prayer for the LORD to listen to. And we have not prayed that men would come to Him.
Now is the time to band together. Jesus Christ is coming soon, this I know in my heart, and we need to pray that when he comes he is received by the multitudes of the earth. We need to pray for our campus, in that we would be a light unto all those here that are lost in darkness. We need to pray for this country and it's leaders; President Obama cannot change the world by himself. We need to pray for this world, because our brothers and sisters in other countries are being martyred, and there are still those who turn deaf ears to our ministries.
We must, we will pray that God fills us with his spirit, and uses us as the tools to change the spirit of this world.
