WHY ARE WE DOING OUTREACH AT THECALL SACRAMENTO?

Why are we doing Outreach at theCall Sacramento?

Over the past few months there has been a increasing conviction that has come upon me, that it is essential to lift of Jesus over California and America in 3 ways at theCall Sacramento Solemn Assembly.  Extravagant WORSHIP, Repentant PRAYER and Compassionate OUTREACH. Phrases like, “We must cross the river and take the land...”, “the streams must come together...”, “We need to go fishing where the river turns red...”, etc have been rising in my spirit.

The summons from God’s heart to mercy and justice trumpeted through Lou Engle and and many others over the past 20 years in America to “Gather to Me my consecrated ones, who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice . . . call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you” —Psalm 50:5,15 has activated massive gatherings and movement and won major and minor battles over our nation.  Many of us have prayed, fasted and pursued revival as our only hope for America.  I believe that our prayers have been heard and that in spite of the growing crisis politically, morally and socially in our nation and the western world, God is beginning to move in justice and mercy and in kingdom in breaking.

Last year at a gathering where Lou told and memorialized the prophetic history of theCall after 10 years we were praying one evening and I cried out the Jesus Prayer over California “Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us your beloved!” and to our surprise there was a strong outpouring and endorsement in the Spirit. I believe that God intends to have Mercy on California again and pour out a revival that will help the church rise up and the nation stand in the great crisis coming. Like Jonah I believe that many of us will be surprised and some will be offended at how God pours out mercy on a “wicked city & land”. Therefore I believe we must go out from theCall this year and proclaim the summons and invite the lost and slumbering to come!

Three reasons for the Call of HOPE Outreach.

  • INVITATION —  We need to go to the highways and the byways to trumpet the Call

Then he said to his servants, "The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'
So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found,
both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.  (Matthew 22:8-10)

"Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you."
...Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster
that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.”
 (Jonah 3:2&10)

  • RELEASE — A key prophetic scripture was released to Lou and others of us that promises three things in Sacramento and our nation – RELEASE of the prisoners, RETURN to the fortress of hope and the ROUSING of the warriors to go out and execute justice. If we don’t go out how will the “prisoners of hope” be called from the city?

As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you,
I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.
... I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece,
and make you like a warrior's sword.”
Zechariah 9:11-13

  • UNITY — It is clear that unity in the body of Christ releases authority for revival and harvest.  This has always been a tenat and a passion of the theCall movement (the turning of the hearts of the fathers & the sons – generational unity; the coming together of ethnic groups (red, brown, black and white) - racial unity; jew – gentile unity; denominational unity).

I believe that God is raising up a movement of burning hybrids* combining the Nazarite Intercessors, the End-time Preachers, the Power Evangelists, the Renaissance Artists, the Marketplace Prophets & Apostles and the Justice Warriors. The outreach is a prophetic step to activate this union.
*
A hybrid is the combination of two or more different things, aimed at achieving a particular objective or goal.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! ...
For there the LORD commanded the blessing-- Life forevermore.”
 (Psalm 133:3)

“...that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us,
that the world may believe that You sent Me.”
(John 17:21)

So if you have read this and believe it then come join us to take theCall of HOPE to the streets!
