why today? (a plea to all my Christian contacts)

as i stepped into the 7-day countdown to the JREV Solemn Assembly, i realized that i have neglected the burden and responsibility to write even just a short note on what the Solemn Assembly is about. i have been so busy in "other" JREV tasks that i failed to at least inform my contacts WHAT i'm doing and WHY they should CHOOSE to be a part of it.

so what is the solemn assembly?
1 - It is a gathering of Christians
2 - to FAST and PRAY
3 - for their city or nation, and in this case, it's for our nation

why is there a need for a solemn assembly?


Joel 2:15 says, "blow the trumpet in zion, call a fast, gather the people..." it goes on to emphasize that ALL must gather, including those in their honeymoons! and yes, ALL must fast, including the pets!

but why now? it is because the nation has come to a CRUCIAL season where the prayers of the saints have more say in the SHAPING of our HISTORY more than ever. The future of a nation is in the hands of those who will pray (with hearts consecrated before God with a hunger for Him to come). And if we, His people, who have been called to pray, do not seize this hour of challenge to become the hinge of history, who knows who might steal the hour of our redemption? It would be a shame to lose by default. we have been given the CALL, the MANDATE, and the PROMISE. now, everything hinges on our obedience. are we going to have a HUMBLE GATHERING of selfless (and agenda-less, [no politiking and no campaigning]) time of praying and fasting for the nation?



if you believe in prophesy, you will see that prophetic words (available in my blog) have pointed toward this time (kairos and chronos alike!) in our nation's timetable. but you need not have to believe in prophesy to sense the urgency of this hour. if you are not deaf and naive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, you would know that He is calling you to rise up for your nation, NOW more than ever before.

So I challenge everyone.

First, join us in fasting and prayer on November 30 (a holiday) at The Arena in Pinaglabanan San Juan. (admission is free)

Second, do not just come. Prepare your hearts for an encounter. And prepare your hearts for intercession.

Third, resound the call. Now. Meaning 0 to 5 seconds. Urgency has never been more clear.

p.s.
need i say it? one of the main agendas is to cover the upcoming elections/campaigning season in prayer. and definitely, not endorse a candidate.
