Let God Arise!

LET GOD AR I SE!

Of all the hardest and most difficult to reach fields on earth today, America’s inner cities are arguably one of the toughest. The levels of poverty, violence, despair, and hopelessness make ordinary efforts fall short and seem completely futile. I am convinced that only if God visits, if the Lord arises and scatters his enemies, as spoken in Psalm 68, will freedom, wholeness, and justice prevail, both within God’s people of the city and through them to those who are in desperate need for God’s grace and provision. This tract, like that of Edwards, represents another humble attempt to mobilize believers to cry out day and night to God on behalf of a slumbering Church and those suffering and dying without Christ. The heart cry here, however, is focused on the inner cities of America. This represents an earnest plea to call out a nucleus, an army of godly and available intercessors who will pledge themselves to lay hold of God in prevailing prayer for a breakthrough of God’s divine power, for spiritual awakening for his people and advancement of his Kingdom in the city.
