Solemn Assembly

David Gordon, the director of IHOP-AC, proclaimed a solemn assembly Sunday, Oct. 26th. Taken from Joel 2:15-16.

We are entering into a 10 day solemn assembly and time of fasting. We are fasting food and our time. We are having intercession sets from 6am-8am every morning for the 10 days, from Oct. 26th until Nov. 5th.

We are praying for Joel 2:12 changes. That we, and American would return to the Lord with all our hearts! And while America is crying out for change. We are crying out for mercy! God is the only one who can change anything in America. So we better start asking Him to do it. And that is going to take MERCY!

We are also praying for the elections. It isn’t just about 1 day, and a voting booth and one man. It’s about prayer and asking God to take control of our nation.

We are praying for righteousness and justice to be the foundation of America. America is so busy worrying about the economy and all of these different issues, when really, if we just let God have control, He says He would provide. And we aren’t worried about the issues that really matter. Like that we are murdering innocent children every day.

Actually 50 million since 1973.

Or like the sanctity of marriage. That God created it for a man and a woman. Nothing else.

These are issues of the heart. And we don’t want to deal with them. So we deal with the outer issues that we think we can change and make better. Like the economy. We think we are in control. But we can’t.

Oh God! Have mercy on this nation! We call ourselves a “Christian” nation, yet we stand for wickedness and injustice! This isn’t who you are! You are a righteous and just God! Change our hearts to be in alignment with Your heart! We need You God! Break in, send a spirit of wisdom and revelation into the knowledge of Jesus to America! We have to know You, so that we will be like You! Come God! Have mercy and make us a nation of righteousness and justice! In Jesus Name!
