This is an urgent call to all our friends who read this blog. As we seek the Lord and are in the Word and reflect on the events of these dangerous end days, we are pressed by the Holy Spirit to renew the call to praying people to gather together for a solemn assembly of prayer as we read in the Prophet Joel.
“Turn ye even to me with all your heart, with fasting and with weeping…and rend your heart…gather the people, sanctify the congregation…weep and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thy heritage to reproach that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?” Joel 2:12-17
It is not the threats of Islamic terrorists, economic collapse and destruction of our religious freedom that should primarily compel us to such prayer, though these are very real realities. God’s judgment is over the Church and this nation because we have sinned and committed all kinds of abominations as a nation and, as Church, have not repented and called the nation to repentance. There is a spiritual blindness and dullness of heart and mind that Christian leaders have not stopped everything and called for all-out repentance and humiliation before our Holy God!
We are very much aware of the critical importance of this coming national election and the need for Christians to vote. We follow closely national and international events as the antichrist global system is taking control. But no politician, no Bible conference, or even “low intensity” prayer meetings will turn the judgment of God away from this sinful, rebellious nation and compromised Church.
We desperately need the “high intensity” crying out before God that the prophet Joel called for. What will it take for us to see this and stop everything and do it?! For a start, we are urging believers wherever they are to gather people together and to enter the covenant with God of 2 Chronicles 7:14 – “If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.”
Here in Christiana, we are inviting praying people to gather weekly on Saturdays at starting March 3rd for prayer, all out “high intensity” prayer. If you know the press, or will allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the urgent need to press in with God at this crucial hour, come join us! Stay as long as you are able. Who knows if the Lord will repent of the judgment we deserve, and be jealous of this land that He has favored in the past and will yet pity His people?! Who will stand in the gap?
