Urgent 24 hour prayer request

Nov 25, 2008

Hey all. If you're reading this, thanks.

For the remainder of this blog, it matters not who you voted for in the recent elections. What happened, happened. I can't say it's the will of God, because I simply don't know it was... God wanted to lead Israel, but they wanted a king, so God gave them a king after their own heart, and it ended up being their downfall.

But that's not the point I'm trying to make in this Blog.

If you're a Christian, you've been instructed by the Lord "that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence" (1 Tim 2:1-2). Why, you ask? "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 tim 2:-3-4).

So, regarding that. I've invited most of you to this event on facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=50987482352

It's called "Pray for Barak." Simple enough. (also, please invite your friends as well...)

I assume the date for this event is correct...if it's not, the correct date wins. ha.

If you'll notice, the date of the event is set from monday Jan 19th at 12AM to Tuesday Jan 20 at 12AM. That's obviously a 24-hour period... and it's hard to think that one person can pray for 24-hours.

So here's my suggestions, and I'm breaking it down by places my friends (YOU GUYS) are.. so here's my ideas:

24 hour prayer event:

- LCHOPpers: You know what to do.. get to it!
- Josh and the OUHOPpers - I'm confident you guys are ready to pull this off. Contact me/LCHOP buddies if you need some help organizing
- people in Savannah/Statesboro - I know we'll probably all be in class by then, but if possible I'd like to combine forces (Jarod, your ZEAL group with the RUF @ SCAD, and others as well) and do a 24-hour prayer session. simply put, if we have 24 people, each agreeing to pray for 1 hour in the same room, this would be great, and would pave the way for future long-format prayer meetings (totally NOT expecting people to pray for like 5 hours on end.. )
- Michael and SCAD RUF - I know this might seem daunting and maybe weird, but I'd like to try it.. if it utterly fails, we'll put it on the shelf for a later date. But i"ll need help getting the word out and also organizing. anyone with the gift of administration? I got the mobilization!

- others of you in the US, but outside of the GA area, I encourage you guys to gather your friends and organize some sort of 24-hour meeting.. if not that, try to get together with friends and pray before, during, and after the inaugurational speech.

- and finally, my international friends - we need you on this one... I've heard it said before, "as america goes, so goes the whole world." meaning that america, in a way, paves the way for a new cultural shift in the world. Pray that america would not lower the cultural standard bar, but in fact raise it. I really appreciate every prayer you guys say for this country! I only wish I could say I was faithful enough to do the same. Forgive me for not.

My closing statement I guess... GIVE ME FEEDBACK!

Let me know what you guys are planning, and what you need help on. Get most of this planning done over the winter break, so that way you can have solid plans to give to people while spreading the word around your campuses/workplaces/churches etc come january!

I guess that's it everyone... Bless you all!!!

Today's Elections

Nov 4, 2008

So.. I've never been so gripped over the elections (it's only my second one), but the Lord gave a certain grace this morning as I loaded the Global Bridegroom Fast webstream from IHOP-KC. I began weeping over the unborn, and pleading for LIFE, and that voters today would abandon their party affiliation unto a Greater Affiliation, of one to Christ, and His morals.

I am convinced that there is VERY RARELY a case where Jesus would stand for "the rights of a woman" in order to have an abortion. I don't think that abortion is an actual right. I think it's something that has been fabricated in the name of Molech, the name of Convenience. "It's easier for me this way, so I'm going to do it."

All that aside, that doesn't mean that Jesus is not holy, and that Jesus is not righteous, and that He is not forgiving.

He is holy.

He is righteous.

and

He is forgiving.

Where there is a godly sorrow for sins, there is cleansing of sins.

anyway... that's really all I wanted to say.

bless you all as you vote today!

I pray that you would choose to vote LIFE, as opposed to voting for "change."

The Call DC

TheCall DC II

Guys, let's face the hard truth: America is messed up. BIG TIME. Pornography, prostitution, and pop culture influence the sexual immorality, human trafficking, and abortion in this nation. Not to mention the greed, lust, and love of money that causes so much crime in many american cities. Not only is this rampant, but it is openly being marketed to our kids. there was a statistic for Canada that said that the average age a canadian loses their virginity is 16.. and that more than a third of 13 year old boys from Alberta said that they had watched porn of the internet "TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT." I must stop here and make one point: Don't try to tell me that pornography has some good uses. I say to you that you are WRONG. (Isa 5:20). These stats are for Canada, but I can guarantee you that they are very similar in America. Divorce rates are climbing, and laws are being passed so that a boy can declare himself a girl and walk into a girls bathroom in public schools in California.

So enough of the negative, huh? well.. more of the hard truth is that the Church in America is sick and lukewarm. There needs to be a massive overhaul in the Church. So many leaders in the Church are addicted to the same things that their kids are. I heard another statistic about a year ago that said that the number of pornography rentals at hotels actually go UP when the Christian conferences go to town.

so think of this, people in america are calling good evil, and darkness, light. We then turn around, and have record floods in the midwest, droughts in the southeast, and raging forest fires in the east. on a larger, world wide scale, there are earthquakes in China, and hurricanes that flood cities..

'nuff said.

Okay. I'm tired of being negative now.

That moment is NOW, beloved. There is a solution, and it's called fasting and prayer. God came up with it. In His great unfailing mercy, He has decided to give us a prescription for this virus of death that has infected our nation.

The Call on the march

On August 16th 2008, God is calling over one million people to the National Mall in DC, where they will fast, pray, and repent for the wickedness that is running rampant in this nation. all this according to the passage in Joel 2:15, with a solemn assembly of worship and prayer. I went to TheCall Nashville last year on 07.07.07, and I can tell you that as over 70,000 people gathered together, we moved things in the Spirit with our prayers.

I can tell you that this year will be no different, except that the feeling will be 234526462 times as strong, and the effect just as awesome. I can't wait guys.

So come to Washington D.C. on August 16th, and from 10AM to 10PM, we will stand before the throne of God on behalf of our nation, pleading for mercy, and, renewing our covenant with Him.

I wish I could give you guys more information, but I to tell the truth, I am out of steam for today. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
