Praying for my brothers and sisters in Afghanistan
Since the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan does not recognize any Afghan citizens as Christian, it is not legally permitted for a citizen of Afghanistan to convert to Christianity. However, the Almighty God has made a way for church to exist even admist the circumstances. Praise God! Often Afghan believers take great risks to meet in small groups or worship in secret. Today I am praying for Afghan believers who feel alone and isolated to be filled with His Almighty presence. I pray that they will take refuge in the arms of The Lord Jesus and proclaim His name with all boldness and courage. I thank God for making His presence made available even in places where mankind puts limits on His power and ability.

IT'S TIME FOR A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
I truly believe that it is time for a Spiritual Awakening in this world today. I have recently read about the violent uprising in Egypt and I am deeply saddened by what is taking place. During what is seen to be the most holiest months of the year, Ramadan, in the Islamic calendar, I am praying for a spiritual awakening for radical Islamists and Muslims all around the globe, so they will encounter the love and grace of Jesus Christ as they pray and fast.
The Word of God gives great revelation about spiritual awkening:
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” (Ephesians 5:13-14 ESV)
Think about it for a second...If I were to take a flashlight and shine it upon a dark alley, it will show me maybe pipes, stairs, etc...Notice, light does not say anything, it just performs and illuminates what was once dark. Just as light exposes what is hard to see, it reveals the deepest and darkest secrets of our heart, bringing forth conviction from the Holy Spirit and shows the road to true freedom in Christ.
I pray today for the reconciliation and resurgence of the Sons of God to be the hands and feet of Christ today. Let's be in prayer for our brothers and sisters on today.
Pray in the name of Jesus during Ramadan
