Scriptures on reversing the trend:

John 3:16. Everything changed when Jesus chose to die for all mankind. Hope was established

Matthew 16:13-20. Jesus made it known that he was the messiah and the gates of hell will not prevail.

Acts 2:1-11. The first miracle in the name of Jesus, reversed the trend. We are the instruments of God almighty.

2 Corinthians 5: 17-21. We are new in Christ and we are now ambassadors for Christ.

Pastor’s Thoughts:

•We need a move and God will use us as his instruments to show the world God’s Glory. Jesus left heaven to die for our sins and now we are left to be the ambassadors to show God’s Glory and Love to the world.

•We can’t change to world by ourselves, but we can be ready to be used by God.

•We can reverse the trend of Godlessness in the world by beginning with our own hearts.

•We are the Laborers God will use us for the plentiful harvest. Matthew 9:36-38
