Divine Intervention
Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples...He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. Acts 9:1,4-5
God, I pray your peace in the lives of those who are persecuted and those who have seen and are experiencing the horror of evil at the hands of "religious" fanatics.
I pray O Lord, in the name of Jesus, that you would break the hearts of stones of those who persecute you by persecuting others, even as you changed the heart of Saul.
Let your Spirit fall afresh and fill the hearts of leaders around the globe that Godly wisdom will rule their minds and guide their actions.
We join together in one heart, one mind, and one voice as one body of the Kingdom of God to proclaim through word, deed, and sign - Jesus is Lord! Amen.
