May 9, 2006 Dear Chuck, Having just spoken to governmental leaders on the state of affairs in DC this moment and the and having received many of prophetic confirmations of the state of affairs of our nation and our President, I would like to ask you to consider calling sending out this call to prayer that I have written to your constituents. Our prayer community in Washington, DC are bearing the responsibility of this in intercessory assignment like I have rarely seen, but I do think the call is to a much larger base. I do believe that the coming court case of Doe v. Bolton that could be heard by the Supreme Court brings us to another critical moment for God's heart of ending abortion. I am deeply privileged to be joined in prayer with friends like you. For the Cause, Lou Engle +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Burning Bush at His Second Term When God launched The Cause on this prophetic journey to pray for the ending of abortion, we received a dream that Bob Jones would meet with us thrust us forth on our mission. Our company of 70 spent two days with this prophet before embarking on the prayer journey, The Trail of Tears. He gave us a defining word. He said, We need to have the eagles, the prophets, who see the vision in the spirit, but we have to have the honkers, the wild geese intercessors who fly in V formation to breakthrough in the 2nd heaven and pray the vision of the eagles into being. We have made a commitment as a ministry to pray through Bob Joness visions and dreams. Intercessors are the stewards of the prophetic promises of the church. Bob Jones received a vision in 1999, that the Burning Bush would come out of Texas and in the second half of his second term, if the church would pray, he would do much to end abortion, restrain homosexual marriage, and bring prayer back to the schools in America. We believe that we are in a decisive moment of the fulfilling of that dream/vision right now. The favor of President George Bush is at the lowest point ever at this moment. Maybe not with God, but in the view of the American people. We just met with a U.S. Senator who confirms to us that almost everything positive seems to be retained and held back on Capitol Hill right now. The 2006 elections may hinge on the perspective that the people of America hold for President George Bush. And the results of the 2006 elections may either help or hinder President George Bush from fulfilling Gods intention for his presidency. Wherever I go I can feel the attitude of the resignation, criticism, and despair, but the second half of George Bushs second term is not yet here. The question is will the church give up and yield to opinion polls, criticism and acquiescence or will the church pray according to the vision and believe the prophets and succeed? Bob Jones word was, &if the church would pray& Right now we could be in a moment like the battle for Dunkirk in World War II where &Everything looked like certain disaster for England and the allied troops. In his journal entry on May 22, Reese Howells said, The world is in a panic today and certainly we would be too unless we were sure the Lord has spoken to us. The destiny of England will be at stake today and tomorrow. In a battle such as we are in today, you cannot trust in a meeting or in feelings. We must go back to what God has told us. There is an enemy that we must keep in check until God does the big thing. Then on May 30, Reese Howells wrote, From a worldly standpoint there in no hope of victory but God has said it&Instead of bad news about our soldiers, if He is on the field of battle, He can change that and make it very good news. Again on May 17th Reese Howells said to his intercessors, God will not do a bit more through you than you have faith for&You are more responsible for this victory today than the men on that battle field. You must be dead to everything else but this fight. Because you have committed yourself, you are responsible. Then on May 18, he declares, I want to fight with this enemy again this weekend as if it were the end of civilization. You dont leave anything to chance. Dont allow these men at the front to do more than you do here. Norman Grubb, author of Reese Howells Intercessor then writes, "How thankful we are that God had this company of hidden intercessors whose lives were on the altar day after day as they stood in the gap for the deliverance of Brittan. Maybe President Bushs legacy and the future of our nation hinge more on our prayers than the whole political debate that rages right now. Reese Howells understood it. ---It is all about, &if the church will pray. History belongs to the intercessors. Weve been on a governmental prayer revolution for several years and to drop the ball at any stage is suicide in the face of the raging powers of darkness that seek to destroy the inheritance of this land. One of our strong prophetic women had this dream& I was outside and President Bush and his wife walked up to me and just started talking to me. When they started to leave I told Laura Bush that she was beautiful. As they were walking away she told President Bush that she felt like she has known me for years. (I believe this speaks that we are to comfort the Bush family with Gods vision for them, which is even yet a beautiful vision. Also, they need to continue to experience the intercessory strength and sustenance that the church has given them and they have known in the last six years.) The scene changes and I was watching TV and a political debate was on. It was to determine who would run for president. Al Gore is the only face that I recognized. (I believe this speaks of the present intense opposition and heated political vilification of George Bushs presidency right now and that the spiritual powers that were confronted six years ago in intercession over the elections are seeking to reassert themselves again and reclaim the ground taken.) Then in the dream the channel changed and a headline came a across the screen. It read, The rise and fall of President Bush!" I started to freak out, because I knew that he just started the second part of his second term. I could not understand why they were trying to kick him out. (I believe this statement, the rise and fall of President Bush is literally being spoke in the councils of hell right now. This is the strategy of the second heavens even now! I believe this could speak of the desire of his political opponents to derail the 2006 elections, and to impeach George Bush, or to make him a lame duck president in his second term. Even as I am writing this, the Lord just spoke powerfully to my heart that Satan is seeking to do everything he can do to thwart the fulfillment of Bob Jones prophetic word. Everything is raging against what God has promised to do in the second part President Bushs second term, if the church will pray!) The screen changed again and this time a map of the United States was on. The southern states were marked in red. Then other states across America slowly turned red. I knew the momentum was changing for the better for President Bush. Then the scene changes and I am in my car leaving D.C., but I realized I was not suppose to leave so I did a U-turn and went back to D.C. (I believe that God is saying there will be a turning of the tide of this present negativism and even a shift in the 2006 elections if the church does not give into to a spirit of pessimism and acquiescence to the present negative atmosphere. We are to do a U-Turn from that attitude and turn our hearts back to D.C. with focused and fierce intercession.) The dream continues. Then I was in a car and I was talking about the interview I was about to do on the television talk show called "The View". (The View is women television talk show where woman are bringing their political views, primarily with a liberal slant. I believe that church and particularly women in America with a godly worldview must rise up with a public voice and concerted intercession to articulate Gods view for America and to contend with the prevailing Jezebel assault on godly authority and its corresponding ambition for the position of authority that will mark even the 2008 Presidential elections.) Then in the dream I was talking about my new job at the White House working for President Bush. I was asked, What are you going to do at the White House?" I replied, " I am going to change history!" Then I saw myself with President Bush in his office. We were talking about America and this generation. At one point we started praying. (We must have this attitude of faith right now that we are going to change history through our intercessions, and that our vocation is to influence the very office of the presidency of the United States. What we do now will change America and this generation, and we are at the point to start praying with a fresh infusion of faith.) Bob Jones has spoken a word that a corporate empowerment is coming to the body of Christ on Pentecost Sunday. I believe this is an eagle type word that needs to be carried by the honkers. If we launch prayer in the evening of Mothers day, May 14th, it would be twenty-one days to Pentecost Sunday and forty days to the 22 of June when Cindy Jacobs (a true Deborah in our nation) is holding a Shift the Nations prayer gathering in Washington, D.C. On that same day, June 22, the court case, Doe v. Bolton, the second court case of 1973 that sealed Roe V. Wade, the court case that legalized abortion, is slated to be heard in the U.S. Supreme Court. We are calling the church to pray for twenty-one days to Pentecost Sunday for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit for a corporate empowerment for the Church, and to pray for forty days for a shifting of our nation, for the ending of abortion, the raising up of righteous judges, and the fulfillment of Gods plan for our president in the second part of his second term. E.M. Bounds said, The prayers of Gods saints are the capitol stock of heaven by which God carries on His great work upon the earth. The great throes and mighty convulsions in the world have come about as a result of these prayers. The earth is changed, revolutionized; angels move on more powerful, more rapid wings; and Gods policy is shaped when the prayers of His people are more numerous and more efficient. (EM Bounds, E. M. Bounds on Prayer) I believe this word is true. Let these thoughts grip our mind, &if the church would pray& and ...the second half of his second term... Lets not be negligent now, Lets praylets roll. |
