Yet another shooting in School

               Yet another shooting in school!! News says like this, "Two heavily armed gunmen opened fire on terrified students in a suburban Colorado high school on Tuesday April 20th, killing up to 13 people before taking their own lives and injuring more than 20, police said.

                All are asking one question, why this happened? Why...?? The reason is simple, Because we have forgotten God, because we have kicked God out from our schools and invited devil and guns to our schools. On the one side you cannot pray in schools but you can bring guns in... what a tragedy? When this type of things happen we think of praying, but do you consider God as your servant? When you do not want, you kick Him out and when you need, you go to Him and pray? No, not at all...., He is sovereign God, He is almighty God, He is not going to dance at your tunes.... He says, in Isaiah 1:15, "When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood."

             If we read from the Bible, we can see that whenever a person or a community rejected God, they saw death, destruction, curse and misery in their lives. If we read in Numbers 14th chapter, we see that those people who rejected God were killed and the whole congregation could not reach the Promised Land...

Now the question is how can we fight these problems?

Seek God:
             Mathew 6:33 - 34 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." When we seek Him every day, He protects us from all evil. He gives us grace to walk before Him worthy. That’s why Psalmist says in Psalms 32:7, "You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall surround me with songs of deliverance."

Holy Spirit:

              Some days back Florida Jungles caught fire and it was destroying many acre’s of land so they tried to prevent this fire to spread to other areas with fire. When they were asked how you will fight fire with fire they said, "we will burn the grass and vegetation along a long narrow strip of land surrounding the fire so that the fire is localized and could not spread outside."

              Yes, my friend, Jesus came into this world to send the fire of Holy Spirit. Luke 12:49 "I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!"

               Yes, my friend, Jesus came into this world to set the fire of the Holy Spirit in our lives. To prevent this violence, you need to be filled with the mighty power of Holy spirit. When it will come upon you it will give you strength to fight the evil powers of darkness.

               My dear parents if you want to see your child safe, growing, happy and excelled in life.... repent and come to Jesus. Come to Jesus before that your child may get shot or killed by this type of senseless violence. Come to Jesus He will protect you, He will fill you with His peace and joy and happiness.

May God bless you!
