God’s Work in the Next Generation


“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

In the days ahead, God is going to move in a mighty way. He has an incredible plan, and is going to work powerfully in the lives of those He allows us to touch in India.

Feeding Children in Bangalore
I am amazed at the work He has been doing there, and am preparing myself to be absolutely awed by the power of His name in the future. He has placed mighty men and women of faith there to whom He has revealed what He is doing, and what He is about to do in that country. They are praying and acting out of obedience and belief. Jesus is being made known among the nations!

We have been blessed to have the opportunity to pray over the next generation of followers of Jesus Christ, to lay our hands on them, and be used to pour His love and power upon them. When we pray, God hears us! My prayer for this summer was that God would perform the miracle of rescuing sinners and redeeming them, and I have seen Him do this. When we praise, God hears us! Worshiping alongside believers from all over has been a wonderful experience; to truly worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).

When we seek, God hears us! God has caused me through the Holy Spirit to seek Him and His wisdom. And He has heard me. He has revealed Himself, His purposes, and His ways. I have heard His voice and have come to know Him even more. God has shown me this summer what He can do with faith like a grain of mustard seed – He can move mountains. The enemy has attacked, and will yet attack in a multitude of ways, but God will have the victory because God always wins.

Children's Ministry at Sahid Smity Colony
Please pray with me for that victory in the days to come in India. Pray for Pastors Johnpaul, Babu, and Paresh and their families. They, and we, need His strength! Apart from Him we can do nothing.

We should go out relying completely on our Lord. One plants, another waters, but it is God who gives the growth. Please pray for healthy and plentiful seed! Please pray for pure and clean water! Please pray for God to give that growth! I would encourage you, don’t just sit back and watch as others plant and water,  God has commanded you to do the same. Join Him in His work. Listen to His voice and obey. Pour yourselves out and give it all to Him who is worthy! Think in terms of eternity.
