TheCause is a grass-roots movement of prayer and fasting springing from an intimate devotion to Jesus expressed with real-world activism for righteousness and justice. Originating from TheCall prayer assemblies, we long to see massive revival that results in dramatic social reformation.
The CauseUSA is a prayer initiative to urgently mobilize nationwide prayer and fasting for America. Though TheCall offices have officially closed since January 2004, the need to fast and pray for our nation is greater than ever! In the four short years since TheCallDC, America has endured the horrors of 9/11 and fought two wars that continue to claim lives.
The nation and the church are buckling under an escalating spiritual and moral crisis, punctuated by events such as the removal of the Ten Commandments from the Alabama courthouse, the Catholic Church sex abuse scandals and the ordination of a practicing homosexual being given a place of prominence and spiritual authority within the Body of Christ as an Episcopal Bishop.
Our nation is in desperate need of historic revival leading to righteous reformation! Recently, Massachusetts became the first state in our nation's 200 year history to recognize homosexual marriage, in bold defiance of the law of God.
The next president will almost certainly have the opportunity to appoint at least one new Supreme Court Justice during his term in office, a choice which will potentially impact the court for decades.
Thirty-four U.S. Senate seats and all 435 U.S. House seats are up for re-election in 2004 and in light of what is at stake, it is crucial that the church gather for extended prayer and fasting.
We are urgently calling for 24 hour fasting and prayer vigils on September 11, around the country, in all 50 states. (link to 50 states) This is a grass roots event, mobilized by local churches at state capitols and city halls.
There will also be 50 days and nights of continuous worship and prayer in Colorado Springs at the Governmental House of Prayer to cry out to God for following issues:
For righteous senators, congressmen and a godly president to be elected.
For a shift in the courts of this land, back to the biblical foundations our laws are based on and for the reversal of Roe vs. Wade.
For a revival that leads to reformation in America.
For a sweeping outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the gay and lesbian communities and for a great harvest with true repentance and for the church to receive these new believers with love.
For a great youth revival on college campuses and the birth of another Student Volunteer Missions Movement. Join us in TheCause!
"...and a godly president to be elected."
Who do you have in mind, if I might ask? Just curious.
