Healing our land must include healing the mind of Haitians

PRAY FOR HAITI DAY 34
GLOBAL PRAYER INITIATIVE OF HAITIAN CHURCHES

Theme Verse 2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Healing our land must include healing the mind of Haitians.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Haiti has been conforming to a pattern of thinking that has affected their outlook on their country. This oppressive mindset has infiltrated many hearts and minds to the point that they feel limited in what they can do. Similar to how an elephant is trained. While the elephant is a baby the trainer would tie its leg to a post and whenever it would go a certain distance he would feel a tug on his leg limiting him from going any further. This would engrave a message in his mind saying this is your limit you can’t go any further. Years later though the elephant is five times larger and can easily pull the post out of the ground; he doesn’t, because when tries to walk away he feels a little tug on his leg and doesn’t go any further. To some degree this has happened to our Haitian brothers and sisters. There are few who would rise up to become community leaders and organizers because the mindset would say this is your limit , you can’t go any further. Pastors who have an opportunity to rise up and make a difference in some cases would rather sit and wait for help. Though resources may be limited ideas are unlimited. It takes an idea to generate motivation, motivation creates momentum, momentum creates action and action brings the idea to reality. Proverbs 27:3 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. (KJV)

PRAY: Ask the Lord that they Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world
