A Call for Prayer

by | Jun 26, 2014 | Uncategorized

Joel 2:1, 13

Blow the trumpet…sound the alarm…for the day of the Lord is coming.  It is close at hand — Rend your heart and not your garments.  Return to the Lord your God…                                                       
One of my hero’s in the faith is Anne Graham Lotz.   Over 10 years ago, God used her resources to light a spark in my heart.  It was a genuine turning point in my walk with the Lord. Since this period of time, I haven’t been the same.


All that to say, I greatly value what this woman has to say.  

Below is a note from Anne.  I realize we’re heading into the July 4th holiday week, but is anything more important than prayer?   Her message bears witness with me as the Lord has me studying the churches in the book of Revelation.  I’ve been convicted over personal sin, and I’ve been heartbroken for the Church as I study Jesus’ words.  And as always, the direction of our nation is a GREAT concern.  If you aren’t watching the news and what’s happening in our nation and world – turn it on!  Connect the dots to the Bible…

After reading Anne’s note – if it bears witness with your inner man – Sign up for her emails during 777 (below) and forward this blog to the people in YOUR CORNER of the world.  

May we, as the Body of Christ – regardless of denomination, nationality or race rend our hearts and cry out to God for His mercy on behalf of our nation – before it’s too late. 

NOTE from Anne:

As you may know, my husband is in declining health.  I am no longer traveling and speaking as much as I have for the last 26 years since I am staying home to care for him. As a result, I have had time to be quiet and listen more to the whispers of the Spirit. He has revealed things to me in the stillness that I’m not sure I would have heard in my former busyness.
One of the things He has impressed on me is that we are living at the end of human history as we know it.  In light of this, He has given me some practical assignments.  One was to be the Honorary Chair for the National Day of Prayer 2014 this past May.  He gave me the message I was to deliver, which was from Joel 1…the Day of the Lord is at hand. It was a message warning that judgment is coming.
Just recently, He has given me another assignment, which is to call His people in our nation to prayer. This assignment came indirectly from a Syrian pastor through a National Day of Prayer attendee.  In obedience, I am blowing the trumpet…sounding the alarm…issuing a national prayer initiative entitled 7 7 7:  An Urgent Call to Prayer.  The Call is for God’s people to pray for each of the first seven days in the seventh month—July 1-7.  

Pray! in the 7th month, July
Pray! on each of the first 7 days of July, July 1-7
Pray! and fast on July 7th for 7 hours (of your choosing)

The Purpose:

  • For God the Father to restrain, protect, and deliver His people from the evil that has come into our world.
  • For God the Son to be exalted, magnified, and glorified in His church, in our nation, and in our lives.
  • For God the Holy Spirit to fall on us in a fresh way, compelling the church to repent of sin and our nation to return to faith in the living God, resulting in a great national spiritual awakening.

Sign up here to receive an email prayer each day during July 1-7 that Anne has written specifically for 777:  An Urgent Call to Prayer, that will help us be united with one voice and one spirit as together we cry out to God.
