Greetings,
"A CALL FOR A SOLEMN ASSEMBLY II" is set. August 28 - 30 - via live stream.
"The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!" Lamentations 5:16
Jeremiah, the prophet of the Lord, has gone from the revival days of King Josiah to the annihilation of Judah and Jerusalem. Within 25 - 30 years he had witnessed the rise of Judah under Josiah, to fearing the Lord and receiving His mercies; to the opposite time of evil under Jehoiakim and Zedekiah and their evil reigns and the demise of God's people. And at the end of their destruction, as Jeremiah viewed what God had done to them, he utters these words, 'woe unto us, that we have sinned.'
Do you not know that this is where we are heading? As a nation and the plight of the church, we are in the midst of God's judgement. And we are headed for final judgement; the kind of final judgement that Jeremiah speaks of here in Lamentations, where nothing that was, what we was used to in living, will be any more. Woe, unto us, its all gone. All freedoms, all blessings, all conveniences, all enjoyments; everything is no more. And it is all because 'we have sinned', as a nation and as God's people.
God is gracious, merciful and longsuffering. Yet, He is also just, Holy and judge of men and nations that refuse His mercies and provoke Him to anger. We, as a nation have done that for a long time. AS the church we have not fared better, but embracing more humanism, we have rejected the sincere work of humbling ourselves and waiting and trusting in Him alone. Always seeking to employ the latest gidgets, gadgets and gizmos of some better way to employ the Gospel, rather than simply relying solely on the Holy Ghost. For this we 'give an occasion against our Lord'; woe that we have sinned!
And because of our nations continued abhorrence of the Lord God, and the churches wayward attempts from His directive in and through Scripture, we stand in the midst of what is termed, "historic, record" judgements. Judgements that God sends, allows and causes upon our land, upon homes, upon schools, upon the minds and hearts of men and upon their physical bodies in disease. WE are in a desperate plight for a correction; for His help.
Therefore, during such times, the Scriptures tells us in Joel that 'when we see', 'when we hear' of such things, we are to call for a Solemn Assembly. During a Solemn Assembly, it is needed for several things to take place:
1. Proclamation of the Word - a declaration of the Word of God to our gross sins and abominations as a nation, people and as the church;
2. Prayer - there is the crying out, the groans, weeping, lamenting for what we have caused and allowed due to our negligence, participation and living against Him and His ways; "Let your priests, weep and howl. . . '
3. Confession and repentance - a solemn assembly that is keenly aware of their folly and what it has caused; Out of this comes confession of specific sins and vow of repentance, to no more allow such sins to be named among us;
4. A waiting - the people, the individual shall wait before the Lord, until His forgiveness and favor is bestowed; the desired end to see God's manifest Presence descend upon His people first and revival come to the church; and to see His Holy Ghost fall upon lost sinners and see a spiritual awakening of lost men coming ot Christ as Savior and Lord.
With such times upon us, it is needful to labor and seek these truths to be put forth to His church. Such times given to seek Him, to call upon Him and to wait before Him. Thus, we have set up protracted times of prayer via 'Broken Before the Throne', a week long prayer time; and in April, a full weekend of times before the Lord in 'A Call for a Solemn Assembly.' Shortly after April's live stream, we heard the news that there are several solemn assemblies being planned. The most inclusive is September 26, 'The Return' held at the Washington mall. It is with a deep sense of need to prevail before September 26. Therefore, we are set for August 28 - 30 to hold another live stream event of being led to do one thing, PREVAIL IN PRAYER.
What is being asked of you is to consider, when everything of our future is said and done, did you do all that you could have done to prohibit the end judgement of God? did you prevail for our future? for lost souls? for His glory Name's sake? for the kingdom of God to all the nations? And I want it to be said and known that when time was given, we set forth to PREVAIL in Prayer before Him, led of Him and for His glory. Not just 'saying prayers', but prevailing in prayer. IT is the prayer that is fervent, urgent because it is an emergency. Let us wrestle now; and prevail before Him. "For who knows if He will turn and leave a blessing behind Him."
Please be in prayer for our days; please help us promote our time the last weekend of this month; please join us and plan to participate so as to prevail.
The hour is late, the need is great; pray so as to prevail.
PRAYER TARGETS:
EPIDEMICS:
1. Drugs/Alcohol -
2. LGBT -
3. Children - sex trafficking, abuse, neglect, near and far for all that is happening in our nation and globally to the innocent; The abused younger generation propels the next generation to a perverse generation. And thus, the huge push for legalizing of pedophilia.
4. Great Evil - after record setting May & July in almost all subjects, huge decrease thus far in August across the board; yet it is still prevalent of how many in so many different locations, and people with their minds evil affected are committing suicide. This is a huge judgement on our society.
5. Natural Disasters - fires and floods world wide; Amazon, CA and out west; flooding world wide; melting of all ice packs; this will be interesting in next 18 months to see rising of ocean levels on coastal lines; hurricane season continues record historic setting in Atlantic; impact on US remains to be seen, but looking for huge destruction;
6. Plagues - covid continues its march globally; cases and deaths returning to Europe again; highest places of cases and death - Columbia, Philippines, India and US; South America really getting hit;
--outside of the EPIDEMICS, i am noticing how many places, governments are toppling. Protest and riots in Belarus, Beirut & Lebanon, Thailand and of course the unrest of anarchy on our streets, and cities. This is going somewhere quickly.
