A prayer for the nations
June 28 2005
"Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession." Psalm 2:8
Well, we don't want to possess the nations, but we do want God to be glorified in them. This morning during our staff intercession time, God was depositing in us as a base a heart for the nations. One girl got a picture in her mind during prayer of a torch that was thrown into the air, and as she watched it come back down, she knew once it hit the ground, it would ignite everything around it. When it did hit, shockwaves of fire rippled in all directions. Another staffer brought up the story of Elijah on Mt. Carmel. Initially in YWAM the vision was to see tons of young people go to every nation like waves crashing on the shores. Like fire from heaven that lapped up the water around Elijah's altar to prove Jehovah as Sovereign God, we prayed that God would send fire among the waves of young people with YWAM. And He would be proven unmistakenly powerful and sovereign in all nations.
As for our base, the NY base director Nick felt God instruct him weeks ago to resurrect the Go Teams ministry at our base- short term foreign mission trips for anyone to participate in, but organized by specific YWAM bases. I believe God is preparing our hearts for this ministry again, and it will begin with a burden for the nations.
I am anxious to begin planning our first trip. Thailand, Bangladesh, Haiti, Mongolia, Hong Kong all have been mentioned. Hopefully we will go to all of them and many, many more. I am excited just talking about it!
