Furious Love

“Furious Love”

Imagine that your walk home from work every day is through the part of town where with a few hundred bars and hundreds of prostitutes line the streets. Jesus Christ, Perfect Love died for them. He loves them and wants to set them free from this slavery. Christ, in His teachings, talked about how prostitutes are coming to salvation quicker than the people (the church) whom he has called to serve him who disobey His commands (Matt 21:31).

Tuesday, I met with a young man in military service to our country. He was stationed in Korea where the base is right next to the part of town much like the “red light” district. He said, “it makes the Las Vegas look like Sunday School.” I can only imagine that it's like this movie that I saw on Sunday.

This move, “Furious Love” showed evangelists going into areas like this all over the world to minister the Gospel(www.furiouslove.com). Not only are these people witnessing in the “red light districts” all over the world, but they also have ventured to Witchcraft and New Age Festivals. What stands out about this ministry is the testimony that their first instinct was to go in as warriors equipped for the “war-zone” and ready to fight the Spiritual battle, but, they found this approach ineffective. It didn't work. So, they prayed and sought God asking what to do different...the Holy Spirit said, “love them.” It worked! Demon worshipers, witches, and pagans received prayer, experienced the love of God, and called on the name of Jesus Christ for salvation.

Seeing the lost masses, living in darkness, should compel us to “Go into all the world” as Christ commanded (Mark 16:15, Matt 28:18-20). Knowing that we have military living and working adjacent to streets inundated with sexual immorality and perversion should compel us to pray for them more, and especially to pray for our counties' leadership and for souls.

Praying:
We praise God knowing that the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it (John 1:5). We praise God that all who receive him have been give authority to become children of God (John 1:12, 13,) to be born of God. Therefore, we pray, that believers all over the world would daily seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness (Matt 6:33,) that they would daily seek fellowship with other believers (Hebrews 10:25,) and that they would boldly proclaim the Good News to the ends of the earth. We pray for confidence in the body of Christ, that like Christ, believers everywhere would seek to save that which is lost (Luke 19:10). And we trust that God will do exceedingly, abundantly more than we ask or imagine. Praise God in Christ Jesus, for resurrection power. Amen
