"THE CHURCH'S ROLE IN
THIS HOUR"
Soberly Warn the Judges and Rulers in Authority
by Lou Engle
From Cindy Jacobs: The
previous generation stood by, largely silent as prayer was removed from
school. Today, we face similar threats to our freedoms, and we have to ask
ourselves, "How will the next generation judge us? Will we be those who
fought valiantly for the cause of Christ, or will we be silent and apathetic
while the courts of this country take that which is precious to us?"
It is matter of months - not years - before this could happen. We must be
fierce in our passion for Christ and our love for America...or else find our
religious liberties taken and the biblical foundation of our nation eroded.
I urge you: Do whatever you have to do to come to Colorado Springs this
summer to stand in the gap for America!

I recently had what I believe is a profound prophetic
experience. I was preaching in an African American church in San Francisco
when a tall man and his entourage entered the room. With every eye on him,
he made his way to the front row and sat down. I did not know who he was,
but after I finished preaching, the pastor introduced him as the mayor of
San Francisco! He then asked me to pray for him. The Spirit of the Lord
stirred me with conviction and agitation as I stretched out my hand to him
and prayed forcefully, "God, I thank you that all earthly government is
derived from your heavenly government. Therefore, let this man know that he
will be held accountable for everything he does in this city under the
government of God. In Jesus' name. Amen."
Three weeks later, this same man, Gavin Newsome, mayor of San Francisco, was
on the front page of every newspaper in America, having ignited the same sex
marriage firestorm in America by instructing city clerks to issue gay
marriage licenses.
Sent to Warn Our Leaders
As I pondered this amazing 'coincidence', God gripped me with the conviction
that He had sent me to warn this man in the spirit of Psalm 2:10,
"Therefore, you kings, be wise, be warned you judges of the earth. Serve the
LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your way."
This warning was not for Mayor Newsome alone, but prophetically represents
leaders and politicians everywhere. I believe it is a prophetic picture of
the Church's role in this hour; to stand for righteousness and justice and
to soberly warn those in authority who would pass laws that hold the Law of
God in contempt. The same-sex marriage issue transcends political
differences and touches on the very foundations of society.
A Clash of World Views
In this confrontation, I felt that God was thrusting me again, as in 2000,
into the spiritual and cultural battle for our nation. These upcoming
elections are not about the war or the economy, but about the titanic clash
of worldviews - one which can still call evil 'evil' and good 'good' because
it is founded on a biblical worldview espoused by our forefathers - and the
other based on relativity, where ethics are vague and absolute truth does
not exist.
Let us be very clear on this: God is neither a Republican nor a Democrat. He
stands alone, above all governments of men, unmoved by the raging sea of
history. He judges nations, and He does not ask kings and presidents for
their opinion. Instead, He holds them accountable to carry out His
unchanging Law lest they come under His wrath, as Psalms 2 reminds us.
God instituted human government to bring order to society and to restrain
violence. Romans 13: 3-4 tells us, the government should hold no terror for
the blameless, since it bears the sword to punish evildoers. However, when
governments become renegade, they cross their own boundaries and use that
sword against the innocent. Through legalized abortion, over 40 million
American babies have been terrorized in the womb since 1973. Yet the church
still votes for those who sanction this atrocity!
Through our votes, we are guilty before God of making alliances with
governments whose laws enshrine evil, particularly the evil of shedding
innocent blood, the ultimate moral offense.
America at the Crossroads
In a few short months, America will vote again and the stakes are even
higher this time. The outcome of this election will shape America's judicial
future for decades to come. The next President of the United States of
America will almost certainly decide the fate of legalized abortion and
whether millions of innocent lives will continue to be taken 'legally' in
our country.
Chief Justice Rehnquist, appointed 32 years ago by Nixon, is now 80. Justice
Stevens, a liberal, is 84 years old. Justices O'Connor and Ginsburg are 74
and 71 years old, respectively. Any of these pro-choice Justices could
vacate their seats during the next 4 years, due to illness, death or
retirement.
In 2000, in Stenberg v. Carhart, the U.S. Supreme Court - by a narrow 5-4
vote - struck down a Nebraska abortion ban. This five-member pro-choice
majority would be overthrown by the appointment of just one new Justice,
potentially by the next president!
In January 2004, we officially closed The Call offices, having fulfilled our
mandate from the Lord for that season. However, our country and our leaders
remain in desperate need of prayer, now more than ever. In fact, I believe
that we are at a place of far greater crisis than we were in 2000. This is
not hype or rhetoric, but a sober assessment of our national condition.
In the four short years since The Call DC, America has endured the horrors
of 9/11 and fought two wars that continue to claim lives.
The nation and the church are buckling under an escalating spiritual and
moral crisis, punctuated by events such as the removal of the Ten
Commandments from the Alabama courthouse, the Catholic Church sex abuse
scandals and the ordination of a practicing homosexual, given a place of
prominence and spiritual authority within the Body of Christ as an Episcopal
Bishop. Last month, Massachusetts (home state of Sen. John Kerry) became the
first state in our nation's 200 year history to recognize homosexual
marriage in bold defiance of the law of God.
Governmental House of Prayer
In light of these things, I am compelled, as never before, by the word the
Lord spoke to me, "Raise up a House of Prayer that will contend with every
other house."
Now is time for a House of Prayer that will contend for the government of
our land!
We believe God is calling for 120 young Nazirites to come to Colorado
Springs for 50 days of day and night worship and intercession. We're
inviting thousands more to join them at this 24/7 Governmental House of
Prayer at the Navigator's Facility from July 10 to August 28, 2004.
This will be no easy walk in
the park.
It will be intense. Each student will be expected to give
eight hours a day or night. Many will go on extended fasts. The night
watches will be as important as the day battles.
I am asking for worship teams that can carry the fire of worship. There will
be two-hour shifts for devotion and spiritual refreshing. Then we will
follow the Lord again into the battle for the elections, for the courts of
our nation and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, for a great youth awakening,
for the ending of the Iraq war and for a powerful move of the Holy Spirit in
the homosexual communities of America.
While many are convinced that George Bush somehow 'stole' that election, we
believe it was the prayers of the church which ultimately decided the
outcome of that struggle, as God intervened in human affairs in response to
our intercession. Many ministries, including The Call DC, called for
extended fasting and prayer during that time and perhaps as many as 1
million people went on a 21-day fast.
It is clear that this coming election will be just as bitterly fought and
just as closely won by whomever triumphs.
I believe this is the hour for thousands of young people to come to Colorado
Springs to shake the heavens over America for 50 days! Will you help us do
this - through your prayers and by giving generously to this cause? Thank
you in advance for joining us in this battle.
For Revival,
Lou Engle

Digging the Wells of Revival
Reclaiming Your Historic Inheritance Through
Prophetic Intercession
by Lou Engle with Catherine Paine
$11.99 Book |
Do you know that
just beneath your feet are deep wells of revival? Are you aware that you are
standing on bottomless geysers and founts of the anointing and mandates of
our spiritual forefathers and mothers that are just waiting to be released
afresh to you?
God is calling us as instruments today to unstop the wells and reclaim the
spiritual inheritance of our nation. This same God who visited America in
the Great Awakening, the Azusa Street Revival, the Jesus Movement, the
Charismatic Outpouring, and more, wants to again honor His eternal covenants
with the men and women of faith who have gone before us. God is ready to
loose revival fires and miracles to the spiritual descendants of people like
Jonathan Edwards, Henrietta Mears, Aimee Semple McPherson, Charles Finney,
William Seymour, and Frank Bartleman. But who will contend for the mantle
they wore? Will you?
As America stands on the brink of the judgment of God for her sins, revival
is our most glorious hope. This book is a prophetic call from the heart of a
pastor in Los Angeles who calls his city, his country, and you to renew
covenant with God, reclaim our glorious roots, and believe for the greatest
revival the world has ever known. Are you ready to dig the wells?

Elijah's Revolution
by Jim W. Goll with Lou Engle
$13.00 Book |
| A Holy
Revolution of unprecedented dimension is underway today in America. In the
face of relentless spiritual and moral decay, thousands of believers are

Christ. In their burning passion for God, they stand steadfastly for Jesus,
refusing to compromise their lifestyles with the values of an increasingly
secularized culture. Fired with the bold spirit of Elijah and the
self-giving heart of Esther, these latter-day revolutionaries seek nothing
less than the complete transformation of society through revival and
spiritual awakening.
Be warned! This book will challenge you as
never before to a life of radical holiness and devotion to Christ. The need
is great and the time is now. Come join the revolution!

"Prayers
for the Elijah Revolution"
by Lou Engle with Stacey Campbell & Heather Clark
$15.00 Music/Prayer CD |
In
Elijah's day, Israel was under a curse! Throughout the land, people engaged
in idolatry, child sacrifice, witchcraft, and murder. What was needed was a
revolution. Through the ministry of Elijah, they got one. Today, we need
another "Elijah Revolution!"
Prayers for The Elijah Revolution is part of a much larger
series of an entirely new genre of recordings called Praying the Bible.
Based on the life of Elijah (1 Kings 16 - 22), Lou Engle passionately prays
through the power stages of "The Elijah Revolution." By using the biblical
text as a track, Lou prays from the Word as it is written, while still
allowing for the freedom to launch out into Spirit-led spontaneity and
personalized application. Like the original Psalms, each prayer is set in
the context of music and vocal accompaniment.
Along with Lou are the unique ecstatic prayer/prophecies of Stacey Campbell.
Coming with a rush of the Holy Spirit these "words" will move you. The
Elijah Revolution is unlike anything you have ever heard before.
Listen and let these inspiring prayers work a revolution in your heart and
life.
