The Call

I’ve been watching “The Call - San Diego” today. It has been amazing. Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego filled with people fasting, praying, and worshipping. While its purpose was to pray in righteous laws and people in this election season, the first couple hours has hardly mentioned that. I’ve been amazed as the leaders have spent hours leading the people in all kinds of repentance. Evangelicals repenting to Catholics for the way they have treated them at times and asking for forgiveness. Whites repenting to blacks for the way they have treated them asking for forgiveness. Pastors repenting for the death they have introduced into their families through pornography asking for forgiveness. The leaders are repenting for the broken covenants of divorce that is epidemic throughout the church. The founder, Lou Engle, says we the church have no right and no authority to demand the government to have righteous laws unless we the church can own our own brokenness and repent and change from our own wicked ways. It is pretty awesome; a modern day walking out of 2 Chronicles 7:14:

“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

I’m excited to see how this proceeds and finishes, as well as the fruit of this historic moment.
