The Call To Fight For California
I believe we have entered a strategic season
for California. I want to share a series of dreams and supernatural
encounters that may be judged as signposts to this kairos moment. If your
heart resonates with this message – pray and fast for the golden state of
California, converge from all over the nation to The Call Los Angeles,
February 22nd in Pasadena’s Rose Bowl, where our prayer siege will begin
targeting Hollywood, followed by a 40 day fast, and culminating with The
Call San Francisco, April 5th at Candlestick Park (3 Com). If California
can turn, the whole nation will be impacted. It’s time for breakthrough!
Breaking The Power Over California
Three years ago, an intercessor saw herself
in a dream with a woman dressed for war in Roman armor seated on a body of
water heaping up huge waves. People swimming in the water could not make it
to their destinations because of the waves. Then an angel appeared to the
sister in the dream and declared, "The only thing that can break the power
of this spirit is forty days of fasting." The intercessor queried, "Like
Jesus’ fast?" The angel came back immediately, "Like Jesus!"
When I heard the dream, I instantly recognized the Roman goddess Minerva;
she’s on the state seal of California! The next day, drawn to a shelf of
books that I hadn’t looked at for years, I picked out Dick Bernal’s
"Storming the Brazen Gates." Amazingly, I turned right to a picture of the
state seal of California with Minerva seated there on the waters of San
Francisco Bay. Obviously I began to read. This goddess, the Roman
counterpart to the Greek Athena, was the goddess of war (who especially
targeted men); protector of the city; and goddess of the arts, the
universities and commerce. Could this be the controlling spirit of
California, influencing our institutions of Hollywood (arts), our
universities (wisdom), and the Silicon Valley (wealth)?
In response to that dream, now three years later, we were gearing up for a
40-day fast for all of California that would take place between the two
California Calls. I flew into San Francisco (from the Call Korea where
45,000 Korean youth fasted, repented and cried to God for spiritual
awakening) to help mobilize for The Call San Francisco.
A Personal Call To The Golden
Fast
The Lord was soon to hammer me with a
personal invitation to fast. While in San Francisco, I met Dick Bernal. I
was moved to hear this man’s heart. The vision of the dream lit my soul on
fire and the spirit was moving me to desire this fast. I wanted
breakthrough for California and I didn’t want to wait until 2003. However,
being accustomed to fasting on juice and never having fasted forty days on
water "like Jesus," a fear of dying came over me. The Lord began to probe
me: "Do you love California enough to risk it?" I cried out to God for
permission to go for it, only asking for a sign of confirmation. There in
San Francisco I began the fast.
On the morning of my fiftieth birthday, now at home in Pasadena, I met with
my spiritual son Abbott Foster, who is married to the sister who received
the Minerva dream. Neither of them knew about the fast I had already begun
and Abbott relayed to me that the day before, his wife was given another
significant dream. In it, a woman appeared saying, "Lou is fasting the fast
you dreamed about three years ago." Abbott’s wife asked, "Do you mean like
Jesus fasted on water?" The woman replied, "Yes on water. He thinks he will
die, but he will not die."
I staggered at the dream. Could this be the time for California? Was Jesus
inviting me to take part in his own fast for apostolic breakthrough? I knew
California history. In the late ’40s and early ’50s, thousands of saints
beginning in San Diego and sweeping up the coast had entered into deep
extended-consecration water fasts, ushering in the healing revivals, the
Hollywood revivals of Henrietta Mears, the evangelistic revivals of Bill
Bright and Billy Graham and the phenomenal Latter Rain Pentecostal
outpourings of the Holy Spirit. Could it be again?
The timing of the dream was stunning. On my fiftieth birthday, as I was
entering into "the golden years" of my life, God was inviting me on a fast
for the golden state. What intimacy—that Jesus would stoop down and invite
me to his chosen fast.
Breaking Off Inward Toleration of
the Spirit of Jezebel
I can only say that this fast became to me a
delight. "Burnt offerings and sacrifices you have not desired but
my ears you have opened. Then I said, ‘Lo, it is written of me in the book.
I delight to do your will Oh God!’" (Psalms 40:6-8) I found that
water is the fasting man’s best friend. On juice fasts the hunger never
fully goes away but on water the hunger disappears and the heart finds its
way to the throne.
One of my prayer goals for the fast was to break off any inward toleration
of the spirit of Jezebel’s influence in my personal life, cleansing the
windows of my heart and eyes. In personal victory, I felt I could gain an
intercessory position over Jezebel in California.
The Lord Jesus with blazing eyes of holy jealousy rebukes the church of
Thyatira in Revelation 2: "I have this against you, you tolerate
the woman Jezebel who seduces my servants into sexual immorality .. He who
overcomes I will give authority over the nations and he shall rule them with
a rod of iron." Like Elijah of old who broke Jezebel’s spell on a
40-day water fast, I was believing for breakthrough in my own toleration, in
the windows of Hollywood, breakthroughs against pornographic compromise in
the church—37% of pastors in America struggle with on-line pornography, and
a shaking in the pornographic industry in Los Angeles.
Cleansing the windows and lighting a
lamp
On the thirty-first day of the fast at 1:00
am in San Diego (where the fasts of 1946 had begun and the book, Atomic
Power through Prayer and Fasting had been written), I found myself in
dreams—and in waking—flying as it were through California declaring the
victory of the cross over Jezebel. Authority like I’ve never known was
resting on me in intercession. At the exact same time, a prophet friend was
dreaming in St. Louis and heard a voice behind him declaring, "Because Lou
has been faithful on this fast, I have given him authority over Jezebel—and
in the nations. And everywhere The Call goes, there I will establish my
house of prayer."
I want to make it clear that this is an invitation that God has extended to
his whole church. As we become weak in God inspired, God directed and God
sustained fasting, he will give us his authority and strength.
"No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be
hidden, or under a bowl. Instead, he puts it on its stand so that those who
come in may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eyes
are good, your whole body is full of light. But when they are bad, your body
is also full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not
darkness. Therefore if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it
dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on
you." (Luke 11:33-36)
The church of Southern California living in the shadow of death, under the
darkness of the pornographic capital of the world in the San Fernando
Valley, and in full view of the windows of Jezebel’s palace in Hollywood,
are going to the Rose Bowl to cleanse their windows and light a lamp that
burns. They are reclaiming the city’s true identity and asking God to write
his name upon her heart.
Holy-wood and The Valley of Glory
An intercessor had a dream that I was
writing my daughter, Gloria, a letter saying, "Dear Gloria, I’m traveling on
Highway 118 to a city called Glory and you can come and live with me there
forever." Psalm 118 is about Jesus triumphal entry into the city with the
festal palm branches and the shouts of the people crying "Blessed is He who
comes in the name of the Lord!" And truly the main highway running right
through the heart of San Fernando Valley is Hwy 118. Even as Jerusalem, a
city of hate and violence will one day be called, "the city of righteousness
and peace", so the city filled with windows of perversion and lust will be
reclaimed as a city of worship filled with windows to the "glory" of God.
Pour Yourself Out For Los Angeles
One of our Call School students dreamed that
he was praying outside the Rose Bowl when a massive angelic being exploded
from within and flew above the entrance declaring, "On February 22nd this
Bowl will be turned into a bowl of intercession and the fragrance of roses
will ascend to the Father. Pour yourself out for it!"
And that is the cry to the body. Seek the Lord and enter into the fast God
has appointed for you. Pour yourself out in prayer for California.
Transformation Begins With You
Will you fast and repent as God leads you
for a 40-day period, crying out to God for the cleansing of your own heart
of lust, for transformation of Hollywood and San Francisco and for another
Jesus awakening? On February 22nd we will call California to those 40 days
and target San Francisco. God wants and loves that city. After Jesus’ forty
day fast it was said, "The people living in darkness have seen a great
light; on those living in the shadow of death a great light has dawned." An
intercessor had a dream of a young person struggling with sexual immorality,
weeping because they couldn’t find freedom. The scene changed and the
intercessor saw massive praying hands arising over the skyline of San
Francisco. God do it!
We are summoning the whole nation to gather and fight. When you hear the
sound of the trumpet, "Gather to me there. There the Lord will fight
for us!" (Nehemiah 4) Only a massive repentance and prayer assault
on the Hollywood Frisco strongholds will prevail. February 22nd at The Rose
Bowl from 9 am to 9 pm, 40 days of fasting, April 5th at Candlestick Park
from 7 am to 7 pm. It’s God’s call to California! Let the golden state be
transformed into the golden altar where intercession arises before our God.
