[revival-fire] Lou Engle coming to central CA - Important meeting and Rally

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    
 
 
Lou Engle is coming to the Central Valley
 
As California goes, so goes the Nation….
 
This is a critical hour for California.  In these days the world is looking to California for moral leadership while California finds herself caught in the snare of idolatry and self worship, sitting within a cloud of moral confusion. This is not a time to close our eyes and hope it all goes away.  It is a time of action, prayer and strategies that "take the offensive." It is a time for the church of Jesus Christ to take a stand for righteousness, united in purpose, commitment, and most of all LOVE. Lift your voice and prayers to heaven and believe that you are on this earth today "for such a time as this."
 
When there is no hope for a nation, God still has an answer.
Joel 2: United, Massive Fasting and Prayer.
 
 
We are inviting you come attend a very important gathering.  Lou Engle is coming to impart vision, mobilize this valley into action and to call California to take its place of moral leadership in our nation. He's coming to mobilize the church for a massive day of prayer and fasting on Nov.1, The Call California to be held in San Diego at Qualcomm Stadium. 
 
There will be a couple of opportunities for you to come and participate in prayer and worship as we hear the message of TheCall and hear why this is such an important hour for California.   We need to see you there.  The schedule is as follows,
 
There will be a pastor's and ministry leaders meeting with Lou hosted at Peoples Church in Fresno by Pastor Jim Franklin from Cornerstone Church and others.   This meeting will be on Saturday, October 4 from 9am-11:30am.

TheCall CA - November 1, 2008 - Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego
 
They came like waves crashing onto the shores of California. Leaving behind a legacy of glory and apostolic influence, great manifestations of the power and love of God broke in on past generations of hungry saints. Waves of God's great presence cascaded upon her shores in 1906, 1919, 1947, 1948, 1967, 1971, 1980, and 1994. These waves are California's revivals.
 
 
The revivals sown in Hollywood loosed great evangelists like Bill Bright and Billy Graham. The Jesus Movement gave us Calvary love songs that have kissed the youth of the globe. The new wine of worship and healing came from California's vineyards. These ancient songs awaken us from our nightmare and remind us of something that was and can be again. Hollywood, the "woman at the well," could become the great evangelist again in these last days.
 
In 1946, Franklin Hall launched a fasting and prayer movement out of San Diego with a book called Atomic Power with God through Fasting and Prayer. Thousands were stirred to enter into extended consecration fasts. Shortly thereafter, the great healing revival broke out in 1947, followed by the campus revivals and the Hollywood revivals of 1948. In that very same year across the globe in the heart of the Middle East, by God's divine mandate Israel was again called a nation.
 
Could it be that there was a connection between what God was doing in California and the orchestrating of His divine purposes in the creation of the nation of Israel? Is it possible that the outpouring of God's presence and the igniting of prayer in California were in reality connected with God's heart to birth an entire nation? I believe that it was a global Joel 2 moment—that after the fast, God restored the land and poured out His Spirit on all flesh, just as He promised He would in scripture.
 
Now 50 years later, California sits within a fog of moral confusion, and I hear TheCall again: "Gather the people, call a fast, and afterward I will pour out my Spirit."
 
Recently the Supreme Court of California disregarded the votes of the people and legalized homosexual marriage. The entire world listened attentively as the mayor of San Francisco boasted: "As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation. It's inevitable. This door is wide open. It's going to happen whether you like it or not. This is the future, and it's now." The world is looking to California for moral leadership while California finds herself caught in the snare of idolatry and self-worship.
 
Recently, I received an urgent call on behalf of hundreds of pastors in California who are challenging the Supreme Court ruling with Proposition 8, which thousands are being mobilized to vote for on November 4 to restrain homosexual marriage. They asked me to bring fasting and prayer to the state, understanding that this is an ongoing spiritual battle that wouldn't be won through political petitioning alone. They recognized the reality that only the weapons of fasting and prayer will turn the tide. So they asked us to bring TheCall to San Diego, not knowing that we had already received several powerful directives from the Lord a year ago that TheCall was to go to the stadium in San Diego.
 
The situation in California is a reflection of how far down the line we have come in removing the very moral foundations that preserve our society. The moral levies in America are breaking and once marriage is redefined, it will only be a matter of time before the entire structure of morality collapses within our nation. In one sense, this California Supreme Court decision mirrors our own inward moral concessions as a church to the prevailing culture, and it is the fruit of a compromising silence that has failed to confront the rising spiritual and political contenders.
 
But it is not too late! This is not a time for hiding in caves. It is time to stand up in the face of this prevailing darkness and resist mightily the spirit of peaceful coexistence and apathetic resignation. We are coming to a Mount Carmel moment, which I believe could be the church's finest hour—the hour in which she challenges her own compromise and gains authority through prayer and action, which is her true vocation. Then our light will break forth like the dawn and truth will no longer be trampled under the feet of renegade kings and judges.
 
The church is not at the mercy of political decrees of destruction. Jesus is the Lord of history! Though these decrees stand today, they will not stand forever. God is the one who reverses the edicts of man, using the church as an agent of righteous revolution to displace kings and overthrow their decrees through the weapons of fasting and prayer.
 
To this end, we are summoning believers from all across the state of California and the nation to a 40-day season of fasting and prayer, beginning September 24 and ending on November 2. Like Daniel, we face principalities and powers and can only contend with them through extended prevailing fasting and prayer. Chuck Colson, quoting a professor from Princeton, declared that we are in "the Armageddon of the culture wars of America." If that is true, then we have no tomorrow. We must fast and pray and win now through costly intercession! Stay tuned to www.TheCall.com/TheCaliforniaFast during these 40 days for daily devotionals to help focus and fuel your heart during this fast.
 
At the end of the fast, on November 1 we are summoning the entire nation to gather for a Joel 2 moment. When there is no remedy, when there is no natural hope, God still has a holy prescription: blow the trumpet in Zion, gather the people, and call a fast.
 
Let the believers of this great state gather and cry out to God believing that California could become the flashpoint of real change in America and not the open door to societal collapse. Let us return to the fasting, praying womb in San Diego and seek the face of God on November 1, 2008 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA.
