Attributing a spate of recent home attacks to the “carefully calculated works of demon powers,” a local pastor is spearheading an interdenominational “No Weapons Prayer and Walk Rally,” planned for November 15.
The Bahamas is in the midst of a “spiritual crisis,” evidenced by an upsurge of drugs, alcoholism, sexual promiscuity, violence and adultery, according to Pastor Mario Moxey of Bahamas Harvest Ministries.
Pastor Moxey, who is coordinating the “anti-vice” rally, said prayers will be held to invoke divine protection against homosexuality, spousal abuse, lawlessness, witchcraft, illegal gambling, drug trafficking, stealing, lying, and other undesirable vices.
“No weapon, no matter what it is, will not be successful in deteriorating the moral fibre of our nation,” he said.
According to Pastor Moxey, there is much fear in our land because “distressed attackers” motivated by demonic influences, are stalking homes, seeking whom they may assault and victimize.
“These attacks are much too sinister and subtle to be of human origin, therefore they must be carefully calculated work of demon powers. Because this is a spiritual crisis, we need a spiritual solution and the only remedy for us is the blood of Jesus Christ,” said Pastor Moxey.
Pastor Moxey said that many individuals have become fearful in their own homes, especially since reports were highlighted in the media of recent assault attacks of individuals in their own homes. He said a remedy is therefore needed and it has to be spiritual.
“We are facing a spiritual crisis and God’s solution is needed. Prayer becomes the key. There is an invisible war that we are fighting and because of this, we tend to use visible tools to resolve these problems, but it takes an invisible tool to fight this invisible war, which is a spiritual strategy through prayer,” he said.
Pastor Moxey said whether an individual professes Christianity or not, all individuals must find themselves calling on the name of God in times of crisis. To this end, he said, they are expecting “over 2,002” individuals to join them in prayer, as they fortify the spiritual hedge of protection in the nation. He said that 2002 is the year of agreement and already 10 major church denominational leaders have agreed to support and endorse the ‘No Weapon Prayer Walk and Rally.’
Those interdenominational leaders that have already agreed to participate in the Walk, include: Bishop Drexel Gomez, Pastor Perry Wallace, Rev. Vernon Moses, Dr. William Thompson, Pastor Candice Carey, Dr. Genius Wells, Bishop John Humes, Rev. Franklyn Fernander, Pastor Neilly Raymond, Rev. Alfred Stuart, and Pastor Keith Albury.
Pastor Moxey said that regardless of religious affiliation, these 2,002 persons will be walking from Windsor Park to R.M. Bailey Park, declaring that “enough is enough.” The walk will proceed south onto East Street then onto Cordeaux Avenue, Lincoln Boulevard and Robinson Road onto R.M. Bailey Park.
Pastor Moxey said that all persons participating in this significant national act of unity, are asked to wear their ‘No Weapon T-Shirt’, as they symbolically fulfill Jesus’ command.
“He gave us authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy,” Pastor Moxey said.
“Nothing shall by no means harm us and the No Weapon Prayer Walk is a spiritual sign of a spiritual significance,” he said.
