The Recent Events in Aurora,CO

Edit // July 21st, 2012 // No Comments » // 2012

I wanted to write briefly on the recent events that have happened in Aurora, CO. Cruel and heartless happenings like this can cause many questions, lack of faith, and fear in many people all over the world. I am extremely saddened that this has happened and will continue to keep the families of those who lost their lives, and those who are currently fighting for their lives in prayer.

During this time of heartache and sorrow it is important to remember that the evil and unacceptable actions that happened this week are not normal. They are disgusting and sick, we must remember that we live in a world that the enemy of this world rules and reigns. But we have the victory in the end. The Bible says that God is just and will deal with those that are not of Him and those that do evil.

My friends it is important that if we are battling with faith in God during this tragedy that we remember that eventually all things will work together for good. As my pastor says not all things are good and this is far from good, but God will turn it around.

For those of us that are standing on the side lines of this horrible event we must stand up and make a difference in those we are entrusted with in the following ways.

1. Prayer: we all have been called to pray for the families and those injured during this time. We also must pray for those who here of this event, because it can be something that builds fear in people. We need to pray for God’s healing, presence, and provision throughout these times.
2. Equip: we must equip those around us with teaching and discipleship to connect with God on a deeper level especially during the trying times that we live in. Equipping those around us can assist in the times of trials and trouble.
3. Never Give Up! No matter hard it may seem at the moment when people question, and come against you never give up to what the enemy would love. When we give up it makes a foot hold for the enemy to attack our youth and work in the world we live in! Stay strong call on the Lord for help and connect with leaders and youth whenever you can.

There is so much to say about this event, most importantly that we are praying and equipping our youth to be knowledgeable of what may cause this and how to survive these instances.

Love you Guys and Pray God’s presence like never before!
