Dear Abba
Thank you for Your Holy Spirit who guides me in praying through the decisions and direction in Your church; but the most staggering issue of prayer is the willful arrogance of lost humanity surrounding us. They spend thousands attending seminars to discover how to get rich, find peace, live longer, or buy your own island.
We hear famous celebrities telling the world how we must have their own cups full, without a word of being filled with Your Holy Spirit. You saw the Barna Report indicating only 37% of pastors have a Biblical World View today. Many declaring to be Christians are hoping to hear You say, “well done,” while many have done little to nothing without a conviction. For such a time as this o Father, please rise up in the name of Your Son Jesus. Deliver us from this worldliness and into Your holiness. The dead literally are burying the dead because, so few are in love with You at all.
For Your glory, will You please awaken the people of Black Canyon City concerning who You really are. May our Lord not allow the blood of Jesus Christ to be split in vain for these people. You have invited all to come now and reason together with You. Though our sins are as scarlet, You and only You can make them white as snow (Isaiah 1:18). They’re not convicted of sin, so they’re not willing to be corrected.
Jesus said the Holy Spirit will come and, “He will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8).” O Father, for all the suffering on earth, these people are going to weep without end if You don’t pour out Your Spirit on us soon.
Much of today’s church gropes in the light, while the world gropes around in the dark. “Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought we to be in lives of holiness and godliness (2 Peter 3:11).
In Jesus’ name
Pastor Huck
