UPDATED 2:13pm Tuesday:

Pastor Jerry McCullah leads us in prayer………..

Once more, California residents seek the LORD for mercy and rescue as the Ventura, California wildfire rages beyond 45,000 acres.   The notorious California Santa Ana winds, ranging from 35 miles per hour and gusting upwards to 70, are pushing this fire to burning at a rate of nearly one acre per second!  27,000 persons have been evacuated as over 150 structures have been destroyed at last reporting, which include Vista Del Mar Psychiatric Hospital and a large apartment complex.

The high winds are rapidly driving the out of control fire and hindering the nearly 1000 firefighters at scene.   Hundreds more firefighters are expected to join this major attempt to stop this inferno.  Winds are also preventing the use of fixed-wing aircraft to assist the battle.   California again, needs the LORD’s intervention and rescue.  California again needs the prayers of praying Christians worldwide.  We pray:

Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, again we seek Your mercy on folks in the paths of the California fires.  California as a whole has forsaken You and Your Holy Statutes, but within California are many who love You and Your Word.  Please Dear God, hear the prayers of the righteous in Christ Jesus, and provide mercy.

My God, forgive my impetuousness, but may I be so bold as to note Your directives to us in dealing righteously with our enemies in Matthew 5?  You encourage Your children to love our enemies and to pray for them, and to do good to them.   I humbly pray for them and ask that You would intervene, doing good, protecting lives, including all who work to end this tragedy, and bring maximum seen glory unto Yourself, in Jesus name, Amen
