Greetings in Christ! Brothers and sister in Christ

I don't know about you, but I imagine your heart is breaking like mine as we see the images coming out of Ukraine as Russia attacks them.

 

While this conflict is seven in duration to this point, we know there has been a conflict for years. While I don't know all the political ramifications, I do know there are Christians in Ukraine, and yes, there are Christians in Russia!

 

I believe God has representatives of His family in every Nation and Tribe of this world, and we should do our best to pray for the protection of those who love Jesus AND who may have never heard of Jesus! They need to hear of His love and mercy for them.

Matthew 24:8 tells us, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come."

 

This podcast is not intended to be a prophetic word about where we are in God's timetable. Of course, only God the Father knows the "day and hour" when Jesus will come again, but if we genuinely love the Lord, we look forward to that day!

 

Revelation 22:20 (NKJV) 20 He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

 

With that in mind, we know that while we as the people of God dwell on this earth, there will be challenges along the way. The people of Ukraine are going through tremendous difficulty as Russia (primarily Putin) has declared war on them.

 

I want to encourage you to pray for the believers in Ukraine, as well as those who may not know the Lord but, even at this time, are calling to Christ quite possibly for the first time.

 

According to the latest polls, a very high percentage of the population, 86.52%, professes to be a believer in Ukraine.

 

Did you know that Ukraine has the highest percentage of Evangelical Christians in the ancient USSR and continental Europe today?

 

Ukraine has the largest concentration of evangelical churches in Eastern Europe. And many Ukrainian missionaries are serving in different countries today.

 

God has been doing amazing things in Ukraine, and I believe He is not finished yet!

 

This is not meant to be a "political" podcast, but in fact, God has His family spread out all over this world in every nation. Many of our brothers and sisters in Christ live in persecution and hardship, but they are our family!

 

I am simply asking you to pray for God's protection and perfect will to be accomplished in this situation. There is power in prayer, and God wants us to come to Him with humble hearts pleading for His mercy.

 

Will you commit to joining me in prayer in the way God leads you throughout the days ahead?

 

Matthew 18:18 (NKJV) 18 Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

 

Let's pray that hearts will soften, and peace will prevail, but most of all, that the Gospel of Christ will permeate the earth!

 

Blessing In Christ,

Thank you for your prayers
