And The Masses Shall Gather

Last week was one of those weeks. Working out of town, 16 hours a day. Having to joyfully working with incompetent morons, that quite frankly, scare me to death using power tools, and then THE CALL.

From the beginning of Jesus' ministry, until the present, humanity has longed, with a passion, to gather together to be filled with the presence of the Spirit of God (Whether a believer or not). Last Saturday, August 16, housed such an event. Together with 2 very close friends, Jonathan McNabb and Michael Scichowski, we embarked on a road trip to the great capitol of Washington D.C. It was a rigorous 18 hours of driving to stop over at my parents house for Friday's day and night at parents house, but oh so worth the over priced gas, the uncomfortable back seat, Jonathan's uncontrollable ADHD locked up in one confined space, and Michael farting in his sleep (Don't tell him I said that, HAHA!).

It was a joy to show off my parents to friends, and I know my parents were pleased to see me after 2 long years. Saturday morning we set out from my parents house, who only live 2.5 hours south of D.C., for THE CALL, with an unexpected turnout and an unprecedented expectation to worship the one and only true God right in front of our capitol. All together, 70,000 people responded to THE CALL, where 12 hours of straight fasting, prayer, and worship, invoked God's Spirit and came down to us in a pillar of fire right on The Mall in front the capitol building.

To be so intimate with God is a luxury our people have seemed to forget in a world of so many distractions. But for a brief 12 hours, 70,000 people got together in one spirit to worship Jesus, and the outcome was astonishing. Our nation is dying, falling apart at it's seams, and many of us 'Christians' are so caught up in getting our blessings, that we tend to forget what really matters. This nation of ours is turning into the next Babylon, where our lands are crying out with the tears of the innocent who's blood has been shed. I'm talking about the 32 million aborted children God's creation has destroyed, and the numbers are raising with a roar.

This, like a few other issues, are presented each time THE CALL is scheduled. To be honest, I came back different. I no longer desire to watch TV, but rather spend the few hours I would of spent in front of it reading the Word or other spirit filled books. I currently picked up 'The Shack' by William P. Young, and it's turning out to be one of the best novels I've read in some time.

THE CALL will be in California on November 1, 2008 at Qualcomm Stadium. So if you're in that area, or long to worship Christ outside the walls of today's church, I urge you to attend. Also, keep me in your prayers. September 9th is coming up fast, and I'm still short a bit of money to make it to Taiwan, China. Blessings!!!

FYI: This is me in a silent prayer, most of which are not silent, but screaming out to God to come to me with mercy and love. Yeah, I may look silly, but it's about the 9th hour into the event, and I don't care!!!
