"Blow the trumpet in Zion,
declare a holy fast,
call a sacred assembly.
Gather the people,
consecrate the assembly;
bring together the elders,
gather the children,
those nursing at the breast.
Let the bridegroom leave his room
and the bride her chamber.
Let the priests, who minister before the Lord,
weep between the temple porch and the altar.
Let them say, “Spare your people, O Lord.
Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn,
a byword among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’ ”
Joel 2:15-17
"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him."
2Chronicles 16:9a
"Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm."
Ephesians 6:11-13
The Call Detroit begins 11/11/11, and the timing couldn't be more appropriate.
There is a sense of urgency in the spiritual and natural realms. There are crisis at every turn, in every area of our existence, the alarms are being sounded.
Be quiet and listen; do you hear it?
It's time to gather, declare, and pray.
Now is the time when it is vitally important to have our priorities in order, and in order to arrange priorities we must to able to discern and understand the days we live in and the forces that are at work.
The eyes of the Lord are looking to strengthen those who are fully committed, all in, sold out, to Him. The battle cry of David, Gideon, Deborah, and all of the Lord's warriors- FOR THE LORD. He will give you strength you never knew you had-that you never did have, actually- because that is His nature, and we are His vessels.
So as many thousands, young and old, setting aside their daily lives, making sacrifices to go and gather in Detroit, fully committed to seeking the Lord, asking and knocking on the gates of Heaven, and tearing down all manners of strongholds, do likewise.
You don't have to wait for a special occassion!
The word says that "wherever two or more gather in my Name I am there in the midst of them", " one can chase away a hundred, two can chase away ten thousand".
There is no time like the present, beloved.
