As fires continue to rage in California, a new blaze began earlier this week. Help this state, Lord!
From The Epoch Times. The Hughes Fire which broke out on Wednesday morning in a rugged mountainous area north of Los Angeles has exploded to more than 10,000 acres. The wildfire has led to mandatory evacuation orders for tens of thousands of people, including inmates at a Los Angeles detention center.
Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.
The fire, which is burning in both Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, was 14 percent contained as of 10:22 p.m. It has not claimed any structures, Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said at a press conference Wednesday evening.
Currently there are 4,000 firefighters deployed; approximately 32,000 people are affected by evacuation orders, and approximately 23,000 more are under evacuation warnings, he added.
Located near Castaic Lake six miles north of Six Flags Magic Mountain, the Hughes Fire erupted around 10:40 Wednesday morning, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). Within two hours, it had devoured 5,000 acres, and skies were darkened and ash falling as far away as Ventura, approximately 50 miles from Castaic. …
Weather is predominately driving the fire, Marrone said. “The situation remains dynamic, and the fire remains a difficult fire to contain, although we are getting the upper hand.”
Large swaths of Southern California will remain under a red-flag warning for extreme fire risk until Friday as dry and sweeping Santa Ana winds continue to whip through much of the region.
Though conditions are a little better, with winds lower than during the Palisades and Eaton fires earlier in January and more resources to fight the fire, the situation remains challenging. …
Wildfires have been burning in Los Angeles and Ventura counties since Jan. 7. The Palisades Fire has burned 23,448 acres so far and is 68 percent contained. Cal Fire estimates 6,000 structures may have been damaged or destroyed.
The Eaton Fire, meanwhile, has charred more 14,021 acres and is 95 percent contained. More than 9,000 structures were lost in the fire. There are presently 571 evacuees in six shelters. The Foothill Water District plans to test water for up to two weeks before lifting a standing “Do Not Drink” order.

Father, Is this a time of judgement on a State. California has led the way to very liberal living. Have you lifted Your hand and released the judgements of Romans 1, for they have exchanged the Truths of Your Word for their own carnal beliefs and practices. Father, may You exercise mercy to the people and lead us to repentance. In Your kindness lead us toward repentance and confession of our sinfulness, turn our hearts to You. Show us Your Glory and heal our states. Protect and comfort Your people who are in these areas, let them see Your hand of Love and mercy. Do now what You have done in the past.
These fires are beyond my comprehension….but God knows.
John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
Ephesians 2:8. For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—
Matthew 3:11-12 I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Hebrews 12:29 Our God is a consuming fire!
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us. We are sinners. Your Word says, No one can come to You unless the Father who sent You draws them. And only by grace are we saved through faith but it is not our own doing; it is the gift of God. Lord and God Almighty, please draw all Californians to Yourself and extend Your Mighty Grace and gift of salvation over that region of fire and beyond. You know the threshold of every heart. I pray with Your consuming fire, You will quickly bring each one to the end of themselves to usher in repentance, salvation and restoration…living water! I ask this for the sake of Your Holy Name and appeal to You in the Name of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Amen
