Jane Hansen Hoyt: A Call to Prayer and Fasting - Sundown, September 25 through November 6, 2012
 Before they call, I will answer: and while yet speaking, I will hear. -Isaiah 65:24
We live in a critical time, a time of political, economic and social upheaval throughout the world. As we watch events unfold, our hearts are stirred, our minds are sobered, and our spirits are turned toward God.?
We see unusual weather patterns, drought, forest fires, and natural disasters of earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes. We hear reports of mass killings in Syria with over 10% of the population fleeing their homes in search of safety. We see political tensions rising in other Middle Eastern nations, as well as the ongoing threat of the Iranian nuclear program accompanied by their stated intent to ?wipe Israel off the map.??
In the United States, we are moving towards the 2012 Presidential election. In this time of crisis we need leadership that will move this nation forward in Godly principles.
As we are aware, it is the Believers in a nation that hold the true identity of that nation. Though the general population may be greater numerically, it is God?s people that He looks to for the purpose of calling forth and displaying the Godly identity and purpose of that nation.
Yom Kippur is known as The Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year for the Jews. It is a time of repentance, purification and drawing near to God. As Believers in Jesus, we know that He died for our personal sins and we are eternally grateful for the love and mercy He extended to us. That same love and mercy is available to all who believe. It is time for us to come before Him on behalf of the sins of America and the nations of the world.?
It is time to call upon the Lord!
I am calling for a time of fasting and prayer beginning on the eve of Yom Kippur, September 25th, through November 6th, Election Day in the United States. I ask Aglow and the Body in the nations to fully participate during this called time of fasting and prayer for America?s next President ? a man who will make decisions that will ultimately affect the world.
I encourage you to fast as the Lord leads you. Pray individually and in groups.
While we call...He promises to hear.?
