Here is Rusty’s call to fast and pray (July 11-13) for our National Event in Orlando this July 16-23, 2011. We must be a people prepared and ready for the battle God has called us to fight in this very busy city.
Looking forward to storming the gates of hell in Jesus’ Name with you this summer.
In Christian love,
Flip

Time is drawing near for our national event in Orlando, Florida. The dates are July 16th-23rd. Saints are preparing all over America to come to Orlando for such a time as this. We are praying that you as well are planning to participate in a viable way to see God’s Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Before the boots hit the ground, OSA is calling for a three day period to fast and pray. When one confronts the crown jewel of the demonic realm, child sacrifice and the shedding of innocent blood, the church needs to spiritually prepare for the great battle that is raging for the souls of men, the lives of children, and the future of our beleaguered nation.
First, Jesus told us plainly that apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:5). When it comes to the demonic strongholds, Jesus stated, “However, this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21).” Our goal is to prepare and meet the righteous requirements that will prepare the way of the Lord to visit the city of Orlando to plunder the powers of darkness and set the captives free. We need the Lord’s presence and power to go before us to touch hearts and change minds.
Therefore, we are asking all those who are willing to join us from Monday, July 11th-13th to deny your belly, take up your cross, and follow Jesus in this time of prayer and fasting.
Joel 2:12-18 and Isaiah 58 can help serve as prayerful, Biblical guidelines as we seek God to bring down the strongholds of child-killing in Orlando.
Therefore also now, said the LORD, turn you even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil. Who knows if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering to the LORD your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: why should they say among the people, Where is their God? Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
Isaiah 58:6 states, “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?”
Please respond to this call and let us know if you will commit to this time. Even if you do not plan to be in Orlando, you can still help the cause of Christ and His little ones by joining this consecrated time to fast and pray. Thanks and please help spread this call to others in your sphere of influence.
