Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment!

By Rev. Bert Farias
Windham, NH

Recently, on the way to a meeting, a pastor friend of mine blurted out, "give negativity no breath," and out of my spirit I responded with, "and give positivity no rest." As the meeting started, I prayed and thanked the Lord that what the devil meant for evil and destruction in Haiti, He would turn it around for good. People immediately began to rejoice and praise the Lord. I'm sure there were many others praying also, and even though this earthquake was a great tragedy, we cannot do anything about what has already happened. Too many people are dwelling on the negativity having to do with this whole thing.

A couple of days later the following turn of events occurred. A CNN correspondent reported that when the 5.9 aftershock hit on Wednesday morning, all the people in a hospital raised their hands and..."they asked JESUS to forgive them and they asked JESUS to save them; and then it (the aftershock) stopped."

This was on CNN, seen around the world! That was a real miracle! The name of JESUS proclaimed on CNN worldwide. "His mercy endures forever."

We are living in the day where, if the people of God will pray, there will not only be a sudden turn-around in situations, but there will even be an unseating of evil power and the destinies of nations will be changed.
