WHY THECALL CALIFORNIA?
Today California is in great crisis! Recently California legislators passed Bill 777 legally endorsing sexual immorality in public education and enticing our youth into sexual confusion. They are trying to pass other bills as well that would legalize homosexual marriage, silence the church’s voice on the matter, and jail any pastor who speaks out against these things.

I believe Bill 777 is a spiritual rage and backlash directly connected to the corporate repentance done for our sexual immorality on 7-7-07 at TheCall Nashville. What are the chances that the bill was numbered 777? In the face of prevailing darkness, now is the time to resist mightily the spirit of peaceful coexistence and apathetic resignation. We are coming to a Mount Carmel moment--a moment that I believe could be the church’s finest hour--a moment that she challenges her own compromise and then confronts forces of darkness that seek to demonize the culture.


This is the time for our light to break forth like the dawn! The church is not at the mercy of political decrees of destruction; Jesus alone is the Lord of history! I believe God is calling for the church, through the weapons of prayer and fasting, to act as an agent of righteous revolution in order to displace kings and overthrow their immoral decrees of destruction

Therefore, we are summoning believers from all across the state of California and the nation to gather for a Joel 2 moment. When there is no remedy, when there is no natural hope, God still has a holy prescription. Blow the trumpet in Zion, gather the people, and call a fast. Let the believers of this great state gather and cry out to God believing that California could become the flash point of real change in America not the open door to societal collapse. Let us return to the fasting praying womb in San Diego and seek the face of God on November 1st, 2008 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA.

Confessions of St. Augustine

You are great, Lord, and highly to be praised (Ps 47:2): great is your power and your wisdom is immeasurable (Ps 146:5) Man, a little piece of your creation, desires to praise you, a human being ‘bearing his mortality with him’ (2 Cor 4:10), carrying with him the witness of sin and the witness that you ‘resist the proud’ (1 Peter 5:5). Nevertheless, to praise you is the desire of man, a little piece of your creation. You stir man to take pleasure in praising you, because you have made us for your self, our heart is restless until it rests in you.
Grant me Lord to know and understand (Ps 118:34, 73, 144) which comes first – to call upon you or to praise you, and whether knowing you precedes calling upon you. But who calls upon you when he does not know you? For an ignorant person might call upon someone else instead of the right one. But surely you may be called upon in prayer that you may be known.. Yet how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed and how shall they believe with out a preacher (Rom 10:14) “They will praise the Lord who seek for him” (Ps 21:27)
In seeking him they find him and in finding they will praise him. Lord, I would seek you, calling upon you- and calling upon you is an act of believing in you. You have been preached to us. My faith, Lord calls upon you. It is your gift to me. You breathed it into me by the humanity of your Son, by the ministry of your preacher.
Most high, utterly good, utterly powerful, most omnipotent, most merciful, most just, deeply hidden yet most intimately present, perfection of both beauty and strength, stable and incomprehensible, immutable and yet changing all things, never new, never old, making everything new and ‘leading’ the proud ‘to be’ old without their knowledge’ (Job 9:5)’ always active, always in repose, gathering to yourself but not in need, supporting and filling and protecting, creating and nurturing and bringing to maturity, searching even though to you nothing is lacking: you love without burning, you are jealous in a way that is free of anxiety, you repent (Gen 6:6) without the pain of regret, you are wrathful and remain tranquil. You will a change without any change in your design. You recover what you find, yet have never lost. Never in any need, you rejoice in your gains (Luke 15:7) you are never avaricious, yet you require interest (Matt 25:27) We pay you more than you require so as to make you our debtor, yet who has anything which does not belong to you? (1 Cor. 4:7) You pay off debts, though owing nothing to anyone; you cancel debts and incur no loss. But in these words what have I said, my God, my life, my holy sweetness? What has anyone achieved in words when he speaks about you? Yet woe to those who are silent you because, though loquacious with verbosity, they have nothing to say.
Who will enable me to find rest in you? Who will grant me that you come to my heart and intoxicate it, so that I forget my evils and embrace my one and only good, yourself? What are you to me? Have mercy so that I may find words. What am I to you that you command me to love you, and that, if I fail to love you, you are angry with me and threaten me with vast miseries? If I do not love you, is that but a little miser? What a wretch I am! In your mercies, Lord God, tell me what you are to me. ‘Say to my soul, I am your salvation’ (Ps 34:3). Speak to me so that I may hear. See the ears of my heart are before you, Lord. Open them and ‘say to my soul, I am your salvation’. After that utterance I will run and lay hold on you. Do not hide your face from me (Ps 26:9). Lest I die, let me die so that I may see it.
