Great Britain, a nation that was once a power house for global mission, is like a ship adrift from her mooring, which has lost her bearings. God is therefore bringing people from all over the world to join forces with the British to reclaim lost ground and declare this nation’s rich heritage and destiny in Christ. The United Kingdom belongs to the King of kings and therefore the devil is not going to have it!
Sometimes the church needs to stand up and be bold. Despite the enemy’s threats and boasts we should now step up against the darkness and say ‘away with you Satan!’ Jesus taught us to pray down God’s Kingdom and modelled for us how to resist the enemy. During His temptation He not only resisted the devil but rebuked him with the words “Get behind me Satan!”
No nursing mother looks on while a stranger attempts to steal her baby. You only have to try touching a mother hen’s chicks to see her fierce and violent reaction. So why would we look on while evil forces attempt to steal our children and young people right under our noses? Why is the church majorly silent as the nation slowly but surely drifts towards the precipice? As a nation we need to declare that this nation does not belong to secularism, humanism, pluralism and any other negativism. It belongs to Jesus and His Kingdom! Our young people, our families, our communities, our finances don’t belong to Satan, they all belong to Jesus.
I urge the church to arise and begin to literally prayer walk our neighbourhoods and streets placing a stake in the ground. I pray that more Christians will get involved in prisons, the judiciary, our schools, nightclubs, sports, local governments, and the media … as missionaries! It is great to provide social amenities and live out our faith with acts of compassion and kindness. In addition, though, we need not only to be salt but also light, proclaiming the Gospel boldly with signs and wonders following.
