‘The Call 2 Fall’ Set for This Sunday
This Sunday, July 3, an amazing moment will occur in some 40,000 churches across the nation, affecting millions. It is “ The Call 2 Fall” on our knees and pray for America.
Doug Small, Coordinator of Prayer Ministries for the Church of God said, “It is nothing fancy. No slick program. No big production. Just setting aside a definite time during worship on July 3, 2011 when you call your people to get on their knees and faces before the Lord in repentant prayer for God to reshape our lives and renew our land.”
Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council says, “Millions of believers realize that America is in trouble and that neither Washington nor Wall Street has the answers.” He goes on to say that the answer is found in “a corporate act of humility, repentance, and desperate prayer on our knees before the Lord” based on II Chronicles 7:14.
Wherever Christians gather in worship – beautiful sanctuaries, store-fronts, homes, and various other places all across America, they are being encouraging kneel in humility, for at least 3 to 5 minutes, and pray for America.
Sunday July 3, 2011 is the day set, because of its proximity to our “Independence Day,” which is rooted in our “Dependence” upon the Lord. The First Continental Congress called for a day of public humiliation, fasting, and prayer throughout the Colonies on July 20, 1775 just after war broke out with Britain. James Warren wrote Samuel Adams: “Three millions of people on their knees at once, supplicating the aid of Heaven, is a striking circumstance, and a very singular one in America. May the blessings of Heaven follow in answer to our prayers…” They did. And America was born as nation.
Smal went on to say that, “It is a special delight to partner with the Family Resource Council in their ‘Call 2 Fall’ on our knees and pray. There is no other hope for the nation, other than a sovereignly given Great Awakening! We hope thousands of Church of God congregations will use the vital resources for this special moment in their services.”
