1 Tim 2:1 makes it clear that praying for government and civic leaders is an important priority. This summer, a House of Prayer dedicated to praying for our nation and its leadership and the upcoming elections.
LOU ENGLE: 120 NAZIRITES
We believe God is calling for 120 YOUNG NAZIRITES to come to Colorado Springs for 50 days of day and night worship and intercession. We're inviting thousands more to join them from July 10 to August 28, 2004.
This will be no easy walk in the park. It will be intense. Each student will be expected to give eight hours a day or night... Many will go on extended fasts. The night watches will be as important as the day battles.
I am asking for worship teams that can carry the fire of worship. There will be two-hour shifts for devotion and spiritual refreshing. Then we will follow the Lord again into the battle for the elections, for the courts of our nation and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, for a great youth awakening, for peace and stability in Iraq and for a powerful move of the Holy Spirit in the homosexual communities of America...THE CAUSE USA
The Cause USA (www.TheCauseUSA.com) is a prayer initiative to urgently mobilize nationwide prayer and fasting for America. Though The Call offices have officially closed since January 2004, the need to fast and pray for our nation is greater than ever! In the four short years since The Call DC, America has endured the horrors of 9/11 and fought two wars that continue to claim lives.
SPIRITUAL CRISIS
The nation and the church are buckling under an escalating spiritual and moral crisis, punctuated by events such as the removal of the Ten Commandments from the Alabama courthouse, the Catholic Church sex abuse scandals and the ordination of a practicing homosexual being given a place of prominence and spiritual authority within the Body of Christ as an Episcopal Bishop...
Our nation is in desperate need of historic revival leading to righteous reformation! Recently, Massachusetts became the first state in our nation's 200 year history to recognize homosexual marriage, in bold defiance of the law of God.
AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS
The outcome of this election will shape America's judicial future for decades to come.
The next President of the United States of America will almost certainly decide the fate of abortion: whether millions of innocent lives will continue to be taken 'legally' in our country.
Chief Justice Rehnquist, appointed 32 years ago by Nixon, is now 80. Justice Stevens, a liberal, is 84 years old. Justices O'Connor and Ginsburg are 74 and 71 years old respectively. Any of these Justices could vacate their seats during the next 4 years, due to illness, death or retirement...
In addition to electing our next president, thirty-four U.S. Senate seats and all 435 U.S. House seats are up for re-election in 2004 and in light of what is at stake, it is crucial that the church gather for extended prayer and fasting.
SEPTEMBER 11 PRAYER VIGIL
We are urgently calling for 24-hour fasting and prayer vigils on September 11, around the country, in all 50 states. This is a grass roots event, mobilized by local churches at state capitols and city halls.
GOVERNMENTAL HOUSE OF PRAYER
There will also be 50 days and nights of continuous worship and prayer in Colorado Springs at the Governmental House of Prayer to cry out to God for following issues:
- For righteous senators, congressmen and a godly president to be elected.
- For a shift in the courts of this land, back to the biblical foundations our laws are based on, and for the reversal of Roe vs. Wade.
- For a revival that leads to reformation in America.
- For a sweeping outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the gay and lesbian communities and for a great harvest with true repentance and for the church to receive these new believers with love.
- For a great youth revival on college campuses and the birth of another Student Volunteer Missions Movement.
"There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens. Great revolutions for good or for evil occur in the vacuum created by these openings. It is in these times that key men and women, even entire generations, risk everything to become the hinge of history, that pivotal point which determines what way the door will swing."
This November, that door of destiny is once again opening for America as we face what will surely be a closely contested election and a fight for the moral and cultural direction of our country.
This is not the summer to sleep! Join us in The Cause!
Hey, all of you! My brother Clay. I made it home , barely, wow. I was so tired. God really blessed me on that trip, big! I don't know if I shared with you that I was going to a surprise Birthday Party for my Dad who was turning 75. I had come from there to you all at the house of prayer. The party was very significant because my brother had not spoken to my dad for almost 15 years. My Father had a very succesful business for years and my brother worked with him; apparently they had a falling out over money. Some business deal gone bad. Anyway I have been crying out to God for many years for their healing and forgiveness over it. My step mom invited my bro nad we all prayed and God convinced him it was time to make up! The warfare was horrific before I came, and they actually made up. My father gave glory to God for his life as he was totally blown away over the amount of people that came and his son who I know he loves. They have still more work to be done , but the biggy was they publicly made up, it was so powerful. My father is a very powerful man in Colorado, so everyone heard at this awesome gathering. Most of them surprisingly seemed to know alot more than I ever dreamed anyone would, it was unreal! It finally hit me on the way home on the plane finally alone to hear better from God, He said. I said, "the hearts of the father has been turned back to the children, and the hearts of the children turned back to the father." I just rejoiced as I hadn't really even fully realized the fulness of what all happened . So much did happen. Before Colorado Springs and during of course! Remember the Isaih 22:22 thing? The day after I got home was my son's 22nd birthday, on the 22nd!!! I was really blown away when he told me he knew this year was very significant in his life, more than any other Birthday he had had! It all just keeps confirming and confirming. I have been so blessed since I returned. I have seen the double portion being poured out over myself and my family in a very profound way. God was showing me how when we really stretch forth through the adversity to do His will, He will truly open up the windows of heaven and pour out so much more than we could imagine! All so obvious. For example I work as a car broker with a small brokerage, it's totally a God business. When I came home even though I was so sick, the LOrd sent me my favorite customer who bought "TWO" brand new work truck almost identical, color ect. He went to great lengths to show me it was directly related to His word He gave that morning when the car opened and shut. Praise the Savior, His favor was a shield around me as He said it would be on the trip. That was afaith trip all the way, even though I didn't get to pray longer I know He opened up a Governmentle door in the spirit that won't be closed and vice versa!! Tomorrow I work on my second set of double truck deals, Thank-you Lord!! I am trying to stay on track with you all here. We are opening up a couple of houses of prayer. One in Rancho Cordova, and one in Rocklin, hopefully. They are in the early stages for sure. This has been my heart for over 10 years I hope to be able to help them become established whereever God says. He gave me a word long ago about them being the answer to Americas deliverance, so I'm with you all in spirit and I will keep lifting all up to our King. He says, " He is not unrighteuos to forget your labor of love." You will be rewarded mightily. Thank-you so much for your warm kindness that morning. I won't forget it, as God aid neither will He! The best is yet to come! I would love to hear how it's going, but I don't know if you have time. Blessings, your sis in Christ, Sherilyn...or Sheri! P.S. I noticed the date, June 22,2004 Go Jesus!! I hope you get all this, I'm sorry it's so long!
