City
Transformation will Replace City Destruction
1
God is hijacking evil to establish his kingdom
In Romans 8: 28 we read that all things work together for good to those
who love God, who are called according to his purpose. In the same passage
(v.36) we read,"… we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities
nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the
love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." (vv 37-39)

God is bringing about a new unity and reconciliation
This most heinous and horrendous crime that was committed against all
civilised peoples in most nations failed to achieve its goal. It has moulded
a widespread international unity of empathy and sympathy. We read of the
heroism of the men on the plane that crashed in the forest, and saved
the White House. How this reminds us of the greatest of all sacrifices,
that of Jesus who died that we might be removed from the kingdom of Satan
for eternity.

City Destruction is about to give way to City Transformation
God has changed
whole cities and communities, and he is about to do it more widely. George
Otis Jr has put out two videos called Transformations I and II about regional
transformations in Columbia, Kenya, Guatamala, Baffin Land, Uganda, and
other places. Dr. Stuart Piggin, Master of Robert Menzies College, in
Firestorm of the Lord, points out that revivals have usually been preceded
by a period of much prayer and expectation that God was about to move
dramatically to turn regions around and to bring about many conversions
to Christ.

What can we do?
Pray that God will lift off our area and city the bondages and strongholds
associated with idolatry, immorality, secular humanism and rejection.
We are taught in Ephesians 6 that we wrestle not with flesh and blood
but with demonic "principalities and powers, the world rulers of this
present darkness, the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the spiritual realm".
