The Action Report In Spain and Beyond, People are Tired of Mere Religion "Europe is dead! Hard! A corpse! Europe is ripe for the anti-Christ and nothing else!" Those words have echoed in my ears and even spilled from my mouth for many years. But no more! Shalom V.P. Walter Contreras and I returned a while back from a place that the Apostle Paul tried to reach but couldn't. Spain! The youth conference was held in the mountains near Alicante. We preached. Taught. Counseled. Poured out our hearts day and night. Would they be God's Joshua Generation for Spain? Would they be God's spiritual conquistadors who would reach Spain, Europe and the world with the power and love of Jesus? I gave the call and the march began! Then I gave the call and the march began. For three nights, young and older filled the front of the outside theater and courtyard as they committed their lives to Christ. The devil's drugs, sex, porn and prejudice were rejected and the old rugged cross embraced instead. And to think this all began many years before in Argentina when we challenged other young people to take their stand for Jesus and reach the world. Gustavo and Fabiana answered that call and went to Spain. I helped them plant the church up north and now, years later, they were our hosts down south as the revolution of the Spirit continues to spread. People are tired of mere religion. And what about the older generation? Many claim to be atheists and appear hard. Then you show care and gently answer their accusations against God with His love that has come to save, not condemn them. And then you see the truth. Most people in Spain (and Europe) are not hard. They are hurt! In Spain, dead religion has called for peoples' pocketbooks but is as lost as paganism. People are tired of mere religion. Hurt by it. But those chords in hearts that appear broken and hard can be restored and vibrate with God's forgiveness and love. We saw it happen! ...pray for the great numbers of lives we touched who said "YES!" to Jesus Pray
for Spain. Pray for Europe. And pray for the great numbers of lives we touched
who said "YES!" to Jesus. Oh, and pray for our needs this month as we continue
to say "YES" to the Holy Spirit's open doors. God bless you and meet your every need, Frank Eiklor Related Articles · More Articles Jesus said many would come in His name and deceive the hearts of the simple, sinful and proud. Eastern mysticism and meditation is a big thing in the gullible West. And one day a “world leader” will appear on the scene with the persuasion of a god and the heart of a devil. Jesus warns His children to know the Scriptures, live in obedience to the Father’s will, and stay alert to the signs of the times. They laugh no more. Now God’s description of how He will destroy the old earth and create a
new one makes perfect sense. The splitting of the atom turned many skeptics into believers.
After all, look what man himself is capable of doing with the atom and hydrogen bombs. Now
the fear is that nuclear weapons are being placed in the hands of madmen who wish to annihilate
their enemies. God has blessed man with incredible genius. We stand in awe as we watch men and women in a room full of computers and high-tech instruments guiding and landing spacecraft on distant planets. At that moment, we appear invincible. But then a mammoth tornado comes—or a terrifying hurricane—or rains that flood whole regions and never listen to our shouts to “Stop!”—or the shake that removes from under our feet any confidence or pride we carry, and leaves us numb with hardly enough breath to even utter the paralyzing word “EARTHQUAKE!”. And man is helpless in the face of it all! |
