These are the words of Bank Hi Moon General Secretary to the United Nations endeavouring to describe the situation in Syria.
However as we look around the world today we know that statement could be made in many countries including our own.
The consequences of telling God we do not need Him, and that man is quite capable of sorting things out, that we can manage on our own are becoming more evident to those who want to see.
However at the same time all over the world God is raising up an army of young (and not so young) people who are, through word and action, saying ‘enough is enough’.
In nation after nation people are turning their backs on the depravity spewing out of nations and seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, often at great cost to them and their families.
In response to the prayers of millions around the world they are arising in the power of the Holy Spirit and as the light of the world dispelling the depraved darkness.
By the grace of God, together we are rising with them, as part of an army knowing that at the cross Jesus won such a victory that the most depraved could be redeemed, healed and restored.
Will you be part of the mighty army that God is raising?
