No Tsunami if the Japanese had Been Christian!

According to the Rev. C. Peter Wagner, an extremist evangelical Christian preacher, had more Japanese turned to Christianity, perhaps the recent earthquake and subsequent tsunami could have been averted.

“I believe that God has a Kingdom destiny for Japan,” Wagner wrote, “but the enemy has built seemingly impenetrable strongholds to prevent it from manifesting. God did not cause the natural disasters; satan and his forces did. They came to steal, kill and destroy. However, this time God did not choose to use His sovereign powers to prevent them from wounding Japan.”

So, the Japanese were punished for being Buddhists, ........and Satanists? Well, the Rev is from a Country where 30% of it's citizens take the bible literally, so no surprise there.

C. Peter Wagner: Some Personal Thoughts About Japan for Informed Intercession

Three weeks ago, Japan suffered one of the most devastating natural disasters on record, and the end is not yet in sight due to the Fukushima nuclear crisis. Japan has been one of the nations that I have been quite deeply involved with for over 30 years, so I have been attempting to process these events with the help of numerous emails from friends who are praying for Japan, and most of them have been praying for Japan for a long time. In these days, God has spoken to many intercessors, giving them a renewed assignment to focus their strategic intercession on Japan. I believe that God spoke to me, indicating that I should circulate this paper expressing some of my personal observations.

Looking at the big picture, we can observe that Japan as a nation has been in serious decline, reflected in the stock market, the economy as a whole, and the standard of life. You can check the charts and see that the tipping point occurred in 1990, the year that Emperor Akihito performed the Daijo-sai ceremony which I will describe later. The Nikkei Index was in a rising trend until 1990 when it turned around and began a bear market that has not yet stopped. Since the 1990s, Japan's share of the world GDP has declined by half, and China has now replaced Japan as the world's No. 2 economy.

I believe that God has a Kingdom destiny for Japan, but the enemy has built seemingly impenetrable strongholds to prevent it from manifesting. God did not cause the natural disasters; satan and his forces did. They came to steal, kill and destroy. However, this time God did not choose to use His sovereign powers to prevent them from wounding Japan.

[Note by Steve Shultz: This is how I see it, too. God COULD cause any disaster, but normally He makes a choice not to intervene "as much." However, had He not intervened somewhat, many more would have perished.]

Peter Wagner: Most of the people I am hearing from believe that something like this earthquake and tsunami will ultimately be used by God to open the gates for Kingdom blessing.
