President
Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović recently said,
“…my goal is to be very realistic, not optimistic, nor pessimistic but to warn
people of the state that exists in our country, because it is my duty to
citizens and it’s my constitutional obligation as well. I repeat, we’re talking
about a constructive debate that should lead to finding a solution to the
current situation we’re in.”
Encouraging words from
Croatia’s president. May she be very convincing toward positive change.
Now we are people of faith
and we operate on the promises of God; therefore, we should be very pessimistic
because great are His promises. We can stand on His promises and look forward
into the future with great expectation. One of the greatest hindrances in the
Balkans, is a lack of expectation from Christians.
Ask
of Me, and I will give You The
nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
For over two
years we have been contending and ask the Lord for the salvation of many in
Croatia. In the past few months we have been experiencing people coming to
Jesus; five ladies and one man. One of those ladies lead two others to the
Lord, one being her grandmother a few hours before she died.
Not only new
people coming into the Upper Room Zagreb, but we will be moving into a new
place for the HOP in a month. Also, our worship leader that had been with us
since the beginning left the URZ to pursue other opportunities. So, we are in
transition.
Prayer Points:
1) Pray for the Croatian President Kolinda
Grabar-Kitarović .
2) Pray for the Croatian Parliament,
there are some unproductive people that either need to get serious are get
removed.
3) Pray for the citizens of Croatian to
stop criticizing the government and get involved through an informed vote and a
positive voice.
4) Pray for the Croatian Christians to
be positive and expect righteousness to arise. Although we are pessimistic
about the future, we need wisdom for the present.
5)
Continue to pray
for us at the Upper Room. We are starting to have noticeable victories against
the enemy; may we dare not relax, but pursue until satan is made ineffective.
6)
Pray for work in
Lika, the heartland of Croatia. Pray for the raising up of an evangelical
church where done exist. We are believing for a house of prayer to be raised up
there next year.
He
raises the poor from the dust and
lifts the beggar from the ash heap, To set them among princes And make them inherit the throne of glory. “For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, And He has set the world upon them.
