Crisis Time! Respond to THE CALL!
Unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Luke 13:5
Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not. Lam 3:22
I rise before the dawning of the morning,
And cry for help;
I hope in Your word. Ps 119:147
In the Biblical quotation cited above from Luke’s Gospel, Jesus had a message which is appropriate for us today: “WE MUST REPENT OR FACE DIVINE JUDGMENT!”
(We have spent years of Alerts cataloging why and how we are currently experiencing God’s Wrath; please see our extensive archives if you want to refresh your understanding of this.)
The question at hand is not “whether” we are in an hour of CRISIS. The proper question is “What can we do about it?”
Fortunately, many Brethren have come together and raised up a Biblical answer which they have named THE CALL (See our July 23rd Alert on this topic).
Why do I believe it is “Biblical”?
Answers:
1. It is a Solemn Assembly of REPENTANCE, PRAYER and FASTING (see Joel 2);
2. IN DESPERATION we will CRY OUT for MERCY (Ps 57:2-3; MT 9:13);
3. We will PRAISE GOD’S GREATNESS, GLORY and BEAUTY (Jude 24-25);
4. Understanding the times, we will PRAY for a GREAT AWAKENING and REVIVAL amongst God’s People and the Nation as a whole (2 Chron 7:14)!!
My former colleague, Pierre Bynum, believes:
“Only repentance and faith will open the door for God’s forgiveness, guidance, gracious intervention and healing. God wants to restore a fear of God to America and an awareness of our dependence on Him.”
Pierre Continues:
“Only wholehearted repentance… will turn back the tide of judgment already snowballing upon our society.” (Excerpted from FRC Prayer Team Targets for Jun 18th, emphases mine)
Pastors, Priests, Elders, Leaders and Brethren: Do you understand what is at stake in our nation, in our churches and in the world?
Do you believe it is a CRISIS?
Do you CARE?
Do you truly want to HELP?
If so, here is something specific you can do:
Come to THE CALL on the Mall in D.C. on Saturday, August 16, 10am-10pm; be prepared in your heart, soul and spirit to CRY OUT!
OR
PRAY at home for this event (you can see it live on DirectTV, Channel 365).
We join with Lou Engle and the leaders of THE CALL in their belief that if we REPENT and CRY OUT for MERCY,
“He will come and save us” (Is 35:4).
This, Brethren, is our only hope! How will you respond? (Please let me know.)
In Jesus’ Name,
Harry Valentine, CHPA Founder/Publisher
P.S. See you at the Mall!
