Urgency

Read this on foxnews.com this morning:
"While faith isn’t necessarily front and center in every aspect of Japanese life, there are 

ancient religious influences entwined in the culture. For example, the traditions of Buddhist 

and Shintoism still run strong, despite some 70 percent of Japanese saying they have no personal god."

Certainly, in moments of crisis at the time of death, at moments of illness and so on, people do

tend to their faith tradition," said Williams. Some Japanese will pray to either Buddha or 

Shinto deities, and ask for the safety of those who are missing. Mantras or prayers will be 

recited, especially in the coastal regions of Japan in fishing villages near the epicenter of the 

quake."

Christians, fellow believers in the Lord Jesus Christ..
This should compel us to be praying constantly for the salvation of the Japanese people. If the christians are not praying for the Lord to work in Japan, then who will be praying for them? 

We should pray that the Lord will reveal himself through this disaster. We should pray that the 

Lord will send laborers to present the Gospel to the lost. Let's pray for the Holy Spirit to move 

across Japan and that the people there will trust in Christ and accept Him as their Savior! He is sufficient to meet the needs of not only the needs of America, but the needs of the whole world! Lord, let the Japanese people see that you hold all things together and that you are in control. Reveal yourself to them in this time of trouble!

Lord, Be exalted among the nations! Father, I pray that they may know you and that you will lead them to salvation that can only be found in you!

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling."

Ps. 46:1-3

"Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth...."Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our fortress."

Ps. 46:8-11

"Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few, therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."

Matthew 9:37-38


"And there is salvation in no one else, for there is NO OTHER name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."


Acts 4:12
