Dear Sir,

Saints, it's time to come out of the religious closet! Things happen when we pray! Situations change when we as Christians come together in one accord!

On Friday, May 26, 2006, there was an exceptional "coming together" of Ministers, lay people and prayer warriors, who in solidarity against the proposed controversial amendment being presented in the House of Assembly, bombarded Heaven in prayer, and as a result the amendment did not come to fruition.

We are admonished to pray for those in authority, and we must also realise that we are not wrestling against "flesh and blood", but against the spirit that's operating in the individual(s).

We must stand up as Children of God for what we believe without fear of repercussions. The enemy is not afraid of the fight, neither should we.

This is not the end of it. We cannot become complacent and think it's all over and go back to sleep.

We must be heard on every social issue which tries to negate "what God says".

We must be the social conscience that God expects us to be!
