An Invitation: To the Pastors of California, contin.

THE FUTURE OF CA & USA

As a high school teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District for 19 years, I have witnessed much darkness. The evil one is at work mightily within the public schools and throughout America. Satan is making disciples of the children/youth of our nation at a rapid rate. Isaiah 59 is a reality within the public school systems everywhere.

I have heard one say, “No institution reflects the community more than the local school.” My years of experience with students, parents and teachers confirm this statement. If you want to know whether or not the Church is winning America for the Lord, please visit your local school. For those of you living in the South Bay, a region south of Los Angeles, I welcome you to spend an hour or two with me when school is in session. If the knowledge of the devil’s strangle hold over the future of our nation does not cause us to be on our knees, what will?

My heart grieves for the youth of America. Many are living with in absence of positive adult role models. Although they may seem strong and self-sufficient, in reality they are desperate and lost. Without God’s intervention, they are hopeless and so is the future of California and America.

ARE WE TRULY SET APART?

What is even more tragic is that there is virtually no difference between “the churched” and “the unchurched” kids! Even many of the students who are “model” Christians on Sundays are in the same boat that is sinking and sinking fast. Language, manners, dress, interaction with the opposite sex, response to authority, etc. are very similar among the two groups, especially in the upper grades. The only groups that seem to have their “acts together” are the Mormons, Muslims, and other groups preaching false Jesus. No wonder why Islam (by numbers) and Mormonism (by percentage) are among the fastest growing religions in America.

Meanwhile, many of us in the Church of Jesus Christ are worried and fearful or asleep and complacent. Jesus said that we are the LIGHT of the world. However, instead of shining His glory on a hill we have placed it in a dark closet and shut the door! Therefore, we are not functioning as saints, but rather as 5 of the 7 churches Jesus warned us about in Revelation 2 and 3. We must live out 2 Chronicles 7:14 by repenting for our personal sins as well as that of our nation. Then we must intercede for the people of our churches, neighborhoods, schools, civic leaders, and so on. Repentance and intercession are two of the conditions set forth in God’s Word that will lead Him to listen and deliver our land.

IT’S TIME TO SOUND THE ALARM!

The third condition is UNITY. Imagine what God will do if we humble ourselves and seek Him as one “race” of people with the life giving blood of Jesus pumping through our veins! There are still too many divisions, egos and prideful attitudes in the Body that are preventing us from being one as the Father and the Son are ONE. We have allowed the enemy to enter our House of Prayer and he has succeeded in not only breaking us apart, but also in weakening and distracting us from our worship of God in spirit and truth.

One of the places where ALL THREE conditions are coming together is in the State of Washington. Hundreds of congregations have humbled themselves to pray as ONE CHURCH since 2004. And… each congregation is being prayerfully led by the senior pastor. These pastors have recognized that:

1. They must revive their personal prayer lives and be right before the Almighty.

2. They must lead their congregations in both repentance and revival.

3. They must unite with other pastors and congregations to pray and intercede together and have formed a network called “Sound the Alarm.”

The leaders and congregations of Washington are building a biblical foundation for the future of their state and our nation. Instead of blaming the world for the problems of our society, they are taking both the blame for the past prayerlessness as well the responsibility of going before the Maker of Heaven and Earth for the strength and solution! Because of these and other “Houses of Prayer for All Nations” that are taking root all across the nation, we have reasons to hope for America!

I believe God is calling His spiritual leaders and the Church of California to link arms with our brothers and sisters in the Northwest and ask the Lord to bring reformation, restoration, and revival to our land. Isaiah 59:19 states that from the WEST men will fear and revere the name of the Lord, and He will come like a pent up flood, driven by His mighty breath!

ACCUMULATED PRAYER

Last month, my family and I vacationed in Yosemite National Park. We had a wonderful time of rest and enjoyment in this area filled with God’s masterpieces. Due to this year’s late rainy season in California, the peaks were covered with tons of snow. Seeing the tremendous amounts of accumulated snow made me think of the pending revival. Our ACCUMULATED prayers will be answered in God’s timing like a great flood caused by the high snow level melting ALL at once. I believe we can be a part of a global revival that will usher the return of the King. We are to BE His people for such a time as this.

If this letter spoke to you, please consider participating in the September 9, 2006 gathering and let us form an alliance throughout California and beyond. The Holy Spirit desires to bind our hearts together in unity and to fulfill the prayers of Jesus in John 17. I look forward to your reply in the near future

One in Christ,
