Along
came Sandy!
It's Tuesday, October 30th, 2012. Last night,
the history-making hurricane called "Sandy" made
landfall with 80 to 94 mph sustained winds. She
killed at least 17 people in seven
states, cut power to more than 7.4 million homes and businesses from
the Carolinas to Ohio, and caused scares at two nuclear power plants while
stopping the presidential campaign juggernaut stone cold.
Bad
as Sandy was, she could've been worse. MUCH worse.
While
Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy, experience reveals he ALWAYS
overplays his hand. The approach of this "FrankenStorm"
caused
millions of Jesus-loving Intercessors to pray and make declarations against the Spirits of
Death, Destruction and Chaos
while releasing the Peace
of Christ, Divine Order, Unity and angelic protection over 60
million of our fellow citizens. We should keep praying for those
now experiencing blizzards as well as for the safety of those
engaged in the process of getting things back to normal, from
Governors to Mayors to Electricians and tradesmen.
Multitudes
had no jobs to return to this morning, perhaps no physical workplace
even existed for them to go to at all. Besides, they had no
transportation system to help them get there. Instead, millions sat
at home, in the dark, in the cold, with their kids, wondering
what to do next.
Pray
for them.
They are legion.
Sure,
on a natural level, lots of people are left with lots of clean-up to
do. Yes, lots of people lost lots of stuff. But while at least
17 people died as a direct
result of Sandy, many more than that might have been killed
and injured in gang-related shootings, drive-by's, muggings,
abortions, murders and suicides, rapes, car and construction
accidents, had Sandy NOT made landfall.
My
declaration at this point is that Jesus is the Lord over all that
devastation. I pray that The Body of Christ would rally and
reach out to those who are dazed
and confused by the upper-cut punch just delivered.
I
pray the Followers of Jesus would have a calming effect on the
people with whom they connect, and that they would actively
seek to connect; I pray for those DivineAppointments.
I
pray for Wisdom over all who are charged with restoring
their communities, for the repairmen, even those now driving
that direction from
other
states.
Let
us declare an outpouring of Peace, Harmony, Unity,
Love and Brotherhood would overcome those states who
are now recovering.
Let us pray against crime, looting, thieves, price-gouging, home invasion, and speak confusion over all who plan such crimes.
Let us declare total restoration
over all that destruction, redemption and resurrection
over that which looks irreparable. We walk by faith,
not by sight.
Let
us declare a Spirit of Generosity would overcome multitudes who
will sow financially into the Salvation Army, the Red
Cross and other relief
organizations.
Let
us pray the Holy Spirit would urge multitudes of victims to
answer the question, "What possible good could come of
this situation?" while guiding
them to find the answer lies in knowing Jesus, the answer to
every problem
known to man.
Every
blessing,
