An outline of 'A Call to Pray'

We are at a place in history that we have seen record amounts of judgment upon our nation. Without a sincere, direct approach unto the Lord bathed in humility, confession, repentance, God will continue to allow and cause more wrath to be poured out upon us. The question is, 'How far are we willing to go with these judgments before we act?'

Isaiah 22:5, '12 - 14; 'For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and or perplexity by the Lord God of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.. . .IN that day did the Lord God of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth; And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall die. And it was revealed in mine ears by the Lord of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord God of hosts.

Isaiah 47:8 - 11, 'Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, tha tdwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, niether shall I know the loss of children. But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. For thou hast tursted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, NOne seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine hear, I am and none else beside me. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off; and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.'

Does these two passages of Scripture not seem like He is talking of our present day condition in the United States? And what is the final result? DEath and destruction.

A Call to Prayer is to answer the wrath and anger of God toward us. We, as the Church, know that God is merciful and is able to turn away from His fierce anger if there is a people that will seek His face. A set day for a set purpose of being before the Lord that in 'wrath remember mercy'.

What will the next judgment be liek? MOre natural disasters? economic collapse? or the loss of countless souls as the above verse declares - 'Ye shall die' 'You will be widows and childless'. Are we willing to pay such a price? No, I don't believe we are; but the situation calls for an urgent plea to be presented to the people that they understand how far we've gone in provoking the Lord to wrath. There needs to be an explanation of what it will take for the Lord to turn away from His wrath.

If we are one heart and one mind to these truths, then we must with unision declare that now is the time to pray and seek His face. Now is the time to confess and repent of the sins of our fathers and our own doing. We must pray or prepare for the next judgment.


1. The explanation of the judgments must be put before the people. They must be shown that our nation is under judgment. Natural disasters are one part of it; surely that would be enough for even the unbeliever. But not in this generation of blind and deaf. We must make the message clear that God has allowed for our nation to begin to fall in all our way of living. Family, the sound structure is rapidly disintegrating with laws, courts and evil practices of divorce, adultery, fornication. This younger generation is being raised in the midst of a broken home catastrophe. We see it all around us and we are reaping the great price of abused, neglected and unloved children. We must show them that our economy is not about wall street, but what God allows and permits. He is able to make us or break us. The favor of the Lord is granted to the nation that walks in oneness with HIm. But a curse is poured out on those that seek their own selfish desires to satisfy lusts, vanity and pride.

2. Upon declaring these things of judgment upon us. The remedy must be presented of our response. What shall we do? The declaration of people before the Lord that confesses 'we have sinned against You, O Lord and blasphemed Your Holy Name'. A listing of the sins and recognition of where we have fallend from should be presented at this time.

And upon confession and repentance we should seek Him for His Own characteristics of - lovingkindness, mercy, grace, goodness, Divine love and compassion upon us. NOt that we deserve one ounce of it, but that He must remain true to His Own nature. For we know that we have provoked HIm to anger and wrath and that He is just in all His ways, but we seek His help and deliverance from sin and the ways of the world.
