In just a few days I’ll be on my way to Washington DC to participate in a very large prayer meeting. The Call DC, a prayer meeting being held this Saturday (8/16) on the Mall in DC, is a nationwide gathering of the body of Christ to ask the Lord for revival in the church and mercy on our nation.

“Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O undesirable nation, Before the decree is issued, Or the day passes like chaff, Before the LORD’S fierce anger comes upon you, Before the day of the LORD’S anger comes upon you! Seek the LORD, all you meek of the earth, Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the LORD’S anger.”
(Zephaniah 2:1-3 NKJV)

I’ll be attending with Justin Rizzo and our worship team, and we’ll be leading worship for some of the segments during the 12-hour prayer meeting.

If you're not able to attend, be sure to pray along with us on GodTV from 10am-10pm EST (DirecTV channel 365 or online at www.god.tv for free).

With new adult movies being produced every day, immorality and homosexuality at an all-time high, and unrighteousness abounding in our nation, we are ripe for the judgment of God. But I can’t imagine how the Father feels about a people who don’t want to be in agreement with darkness and are gathering to cry out for mercy. I want to enter this prayer meeting with the right mindset and heart posture. I’m not gathering with others to “twist God’s arm” as we yell and scream loud enough to get Him to move. That’s not what our Father is like. We’re simply appealing to His nature as a God of mercy to be who He is. I want to approach Him as my Father, not as if I’m an orphan without a home in His heart.

Our nation is in a massive downward spin, and as I’ve said in the past, the ultimate hope for our nation is not the "right" president or the "right" supreme court justice or the right laws. Wickedness will continue to increase, and while I believe the Lord wants us to have righteous men in government, our hope must be in the government of a Man named Jesus and a God that is full of desire to give us mercy if we would ask for it. As we ask Him for mercy, I believe with all my heart that He will send revival and awaken us to who He really is, as we prepare for His return.
