A call to prayer and fasting

Isaiah 43:19 says: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” The Lord is calling His church to again be a people who call on the name of the Lord in desperation, hunger and thirst, in need and in humility. God wants to bring revival into our midst that many (if not all of us) have never seen or known, but only read about or heard about. That revival is a moving of His Spirit on His people. He is asking us to wait on Him. (Psalm 37:7)

And so I am asking you to join me in calling out to God on behalf of His people. The church is struggling not because of lack of plans, resources, people, buildings, or vision but because a lack of the power and glory of God. And these things don’t come because of something we do, but rather they come when we wait before God. His Spirit comes when we humble ourselves and wait and pray. And so I am asking you to call on the Lord like you never have before. To call on Him in desperation and ask Him to humble us, break us and have His way in us.

God is speaking to me about Joel and the call He gives to His people for a holy fast. Please, take time to read Joel and join me in this prayer and fasting that God would again send His Spirit upon us. When we wait on the Lord we have all that we need and even the business and ministry of the church is handled in His time and His way without our meager efforts standing in His way.

Even so, Lord Jesus come!
