National Event Fast - Operation Rescue/Operation Save America

"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 ye break every yoke (Isaiah 58:6)?"

Interestingly enough, the beginning of this chapter, which promotes a God-ordained fast, calls for prophetic proclamations. God Word declares, "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins (Isaiah 58:1)." Though unpopular today, any Christian worth their weight in salt understands the necessity of reforming the church to restore America to its biblical and Constitutional jurisdictions.

From July 15th-22nd, Operation Rescue/Operation Save America is heading to Las Vegas to fulfill this godly charge in Sin City, USA. At the appointed time, we will release the national document "America's Dependence upon God." Coincidently, on July 5th, the Family Research Council is calling for a national time of prayer. The charge for the day is found at Call2Fall.com.Thousands of churches have already signed up to hit their knees in genuine repentance on the behalf of our beleaguered nation. Will you join them? The theme is directly connected to the OSA document "America's Dependence upon God."

When God is orchestrating something, He does not do it in a corner. The Apostle Paul affirms this truth, "For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner (Acts 26:26)." OSA is a public proclamation at the gates of hell. To help prepare the way, we are calling all Christians who have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church and from the church to the world, to join us in a week- long time of fasting and prayer.

We will join with FCR's Call2Fall on July 5th and extend the fasting and prayer to July 12th. Personally, I am going to fast the entire time. Some may want to make a similar commitment. Others may choose to fast for only a small portion of the week. Regardless, all of us can do something to spiritually prepare the way of the Lord as we head into Las Vegas for our national event.

Jesus taught, "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." In context, Jesus was rebuking his disciples for not exercising their spiritual authority to set a captive free. A father came pleading to the Apostles seeking relief for his son tormented by devils. Helplessly, the Apostles failed to work God's deliverance in the young man's life. Jesus, exasperated by their "unbelief" cried out, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me."

When the Lord miraculously set the boy free, the Apostles were curious to know the source of their failure. He pinpointed the problem as a lack of faith and the cure was fasting and prayer. In other words, we do not fast and pray to gain spiritual power and authority, we fast and pray to increase our faith. It is faith that pleases God, moves mountains, provides the victory that overcomes the world, and sets the captive free.

It is this faith, the mind of Christ, the wisdom of God, and the anointing of the Holy Ghost that we need as we confront the gates of hell with the Gospel of the Kingdom. Please join the army of intercessors that will set aside July 5th-12th to fast and pray for America, our national event in Las Vegas, July 15th-22nd, and our future service to God.
