Pastor’s Pen
We are on the brink of a student revival in Buffalo and elsewhere. Students are looking around and feeling hopeless, many are turning to Jesus for hope – others are not. This last weekend Stephanie shared a picture of 49 students on the stage of Bomber Mountain learning more about how Jesus can be their help and hope. Students who catch fire for Jesus can shake up their campus!
Gratefully there are a few of these students who have praying parents or grandparents, but a majority of them have no one praying for them. This prompted a response from some in our online church that in their community many student’s hopelessness has resulted in suicide. It is time for the church to act.
If there was ever been a time the church needs to step into prayer for this next generation it is now. This is the time to stop looking for human solutions…in fact, God is looking for intercessors who will pray into existence supernatural solutions. This is the time to pray…because your prayers matter. This is the time to pray because our world and students dependent on it
We often use the word “intercession” as a synonym for prayer. Intercession is coming to God on behalf of another. All intercession is prayer, but not all prayer is intercession. Intercession is derived from the Latin inter, meaning “between” and cedere, meaning “to go.” Intercession is going between or standing in the gap on behalf of another. Intercession is when someone cannot yet effectively ask for themselves, many students are in this category. Is a bit of time each day where you pray for students something God would have you consider?
Can’t wait to worship King Jesus with you this weekend!
