For Freedom

March 17th, 2009

“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Gal 1:1

This is a call to intercession for those who are free in Christ…

Ugandan children in the north have suffered 20 plus years of slavery. They have been the target of a demonic war for there souls. First it was the Lords Resistance Army. Recently, children have been the target of the witch doctors.

“Jesus said, Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” Luke 18:16-17

In January and February this year, between 50-60 children have been abducted by witch doctors in the Lira district of northern Uganda and sacrificed to demonic spirits. Two weeks ago the Favor of God staff went to a village called Palabec. Two schools had been shut down because of curses put on the children. Favor of God went in to reclaim that village back to the Lord and reclaim the children back to Jesus.

The spiritual warfare was intense. Many children were freed from demonic oppression. Many people came to know the power of Jesus. God showed himself in Palabec, but for Christians, that is one battle in a larger war. Children will still be targeted.

My heart has been going out to these children and it is atrocious to me that the children are persecuted over and over again. I believe that we, as believers, need to stand in the gap for these children for protection. Jesus said let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God needs children in Uganda to freely come to him and i believe that when that happens the power of His Name will be spread over the land and overflow into other nations.

Please pray with me for protection for these children. Please pray with me for freedom. Please pray with me that Christ’s power will show stronger than any demonic power.

Please pray.
