“What’s God Doing in This City?”

I was teaching at a spiritual warfare conference in the northeast. At one point I asked, “Can anyone tell me what the devil’s doing in this city?”

Hands flew into the air; many exuberantly jumped to their feet and cried, “I can, I can.”

“Please be seated,” I encouraged as I tried to regain some semblance of order.

“I’m really not concerned with what the devil is doing. Can any of you tell me what God is doing in this city?” I asked.

Suddenly the room grew silent. They cocked their heads to one side and looked at me quizzically with their brows furrowed, as if I were speaking Mandarin Chinese!

“Isn’t it interesting?” I continued. “All of you can tell me ten things the devil’s doing in your city, but you can’t tell me what God is doing?” No one could.

As the bride of Christ, we are His “helpmeets” or helpmates. We are here to help Him do what He’s doing. Jesus said that He only did what He saw the Father doing (John 5:19). He also said, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you” (John 20:21). We are to serve on the same basis. If we haven’t bothered to identify what God is doing, how can we help Him do it? How would we know the first thing to do? Can we conclude, then, that what the devil is doing is most often directing our prayer lives?

Sadly, in many (if not most) cases, it is. We are engaged in the ritual of finding problems Satan has caused and praying for God to solve them. Indeed, we seem to view ourselves as “God’s troubleshooters.” We’ve lost all sight of God, His activity, His glory, and His kingdom!
