148 days until the Lilburn, GA, USA Revival Conference
A clear-cut call was issued to Christians across America: "We are at a crossroads. America is losing its soul...Our nation is disintegrating at an alarming pace. Our future is in the balance.
"But there is hope for the believer," continued the call issued by Bill and Vonette Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ, Inc., "there is hope through prayer and seeking God's face. In spite of our sin, we are confident that God wants to spare our nation, and we believe that He is going to send a great spiritual awakening to North America and the world...However, before God releases His revival power, the Holy Spirit will call millions of God's people to repent, fast and pray in the spirit of 2 Chronicles 7:14. Believers everywhere must catch the vision. Will you answer God's call to action?"
Around 4000 Christians from across America and a few from outside the country, gathered in St. Louis, November 14,15 and 16, in response to the call. Above the door of the auditorium where the Fasting & Prayer 96 conferees met, large letters declared the purpose of the gathering: "Asking God To Forgive Our Sin And Heal Our Land."
In the first session on Thursday evening Dr. Paul Cedar urged those of us present, representing Christians of the nation, to heed God's call to humble ourselves in the Biblical way of fasting and prayer. It was a time "to cry out to God, to turn our hearts toward Him, in humble gratitude that by His mercy we have not been consumed and to humbly confess any sin." The confession needed to be personal: "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me...(Psalm 139:23). The Bible assures us in 1 John 1:5 and verses following, that God has made provision for forgiveness of sin, so that we may be cleansed and be in a position to intercede effectively for our nation. -Lois J.
