Continue Prayer

Greetings in Jesus Christ,
This has again been a difficult week.  We're thankful that there have not been further incidents this week. However, as the missionary team at Bonne Fin has attempted to continue dialogue this week, we have seen minds and hearts hardened.  The attitudes of the people causing the problems seem to be moving further and further away from reason.  This is evidenced by unwillingness to hear anything contrary to what they already believe, and outrageous demands. 


Those of us that are most directly involved in the situation feel the discouragement of the relentless attack that satan is engaging in.   Please read the previous posts for specific prayer requests, and add to them:
  • That the missionaries on-site could be encouraged.
  • For God's protection and preservation of the work and mission at Hôpital Lumière
As I was reading the Word tonight, the Holy Spirit reminded me of something very simple....that God is God.  I was encouraged by Psalm 24, which I share here:

Psalm 24
A Psalm of David.
[1] The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
[2] For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
[3] Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
[4] He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
[5] He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
[6] This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob.
Selah
[7] Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
[8] Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
[9] Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
[10] Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.
Selah

  1. Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world! Take courage and be strong in your faith. Moving mountains and hearts is what God does well and often. With our prayer and our care. Randy Gasser

  2. You are the temple and you are the gate, ushering in the presence of the Lord. Just before the breakthrough there is great pressure, like a dam about to burst. Praying Gods mighty hand in this situation, that together with your prayers Satan is put down and Jesus is lifted up, that hearts and minds soften and receive Grace. Blessings to you all while you stand.
