In speaking about the signs of the end of the Age, Jesus said:
“At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold…BUT … he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations…” Matt. 24: 10-14b
Our hearts grow cold toward God unless a fire is kindled within. Sometimes the fire comes from our seeking. Sometimes it comes mysteriously, from the movement of God in our lives. Usually, it is a combination.
And so, in this dark, deep winter season we pray for deliverance from the coldness around us and within us and for God to ignite a fire within and among us for the sake of his kingdom.
Join us daily in prayer in this month of February that winter’s hibernation would be aroused into glorious spring on our campuses. Please pick an hour each day and join hundreds of folks praying around the region, country and globe for the mission of InterVarsity on college campuses throughout New York and New Jersey.
