Let Me Tell You the Truth About South Bend, Indiana

South Bend is a dying city.

WHAT? MY CITY?????

I was shocked yesterday when my friend mentioned it was reported on the news this week that South Bend, Indiana was one of America's top 10 dying cities. She said she was a little offended. I have to say I was too.

South Bend may not be the best place to live, but I live here and I have Jesus (the Life) inside of me. Anywhere where Christians reside you should find life!

So you know what my friend and I did? I would ask you to do the same. We cursed that false prophecy.(Read more here about false prophecy.) We spoke life over our city and we prophesied to the dead bones that people see here in the natural. We declared that our city will be a city of great revival! We repented for seeing it any other way then the way that the Lord sees this city - A city of great prosperity, healthy families, worshippers of Jesus, etc.

We declared that this city will be a living manifestation of the power of God!

Now that is the truth about South Bend, Indiana. Pray it. Believe it!

Amen!! As I read your post I thought of this story: http://www.bethelcollege.edu/alumni/magazine/08Fall/Vibrant_comm4-5.pdf. I declare that LIFE will spring up in the abandoned places! And not just any life, but life that will nourish the community!

Erin - That link you posted was a great story! I believe that woman went on to start many other gardens in other parts of the city. How cool!
