A Call to Prayer

Lead by Franklin Graham
Thursday, April 14th , 2016 12:00 to 1:00 PM

Alabama State Capitol

West Front Steps

God gives us instructions on the type of intercession that helps precipitate a Great Awakening: “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Franklin Graham is seeking to start a prayer revival in America by traveling to all 50 state capitals to encourage God’s People to activate 2 Chronicles 7:14. Revivals are not conjured up; they are prayed down. An Awakening in America will not occur when Hollywood and Washington DC get right, but when God’s People get right. Leonard Ravenhill, a powerful evangelist of the past, famously said, “If you want to see a revival come then begin by drawing a circle in your prayer room, step into it and ask God to start an awakening within that circle.”

The goal of this call to prayer is to start with your heart. Invite God to tour the chamber of your spirit and root out anything that does not look like Jesus. Remove any ugly weeds that grow in the garden of your soul like anger, bitterness, addiction, competition, doubt, fear, jealousy, worry, lust, pride, and selfishness. Give God permission to weed your spiritual garden and replace destructive flesh-fruits with thefruits of His Spirit. Our goal is to look like Jesus and function as His agents of love, purity and serving. When His love and light shines from the Body of Christ, the lost and seeking people around us will be drawn to the Savior on display in His Children. 

In addition to entering your personal prayer closet and seeking the Lord, join withFranklin Graham at the State Capitol on Thursday, April 14 at noon. This prayer rally is not about a political candidate, it’s all about lifting up Jesus as our Hope. Franklin Graham explained, “We have a responsibility as the Church to be salt and light in this world. We are to speak the truth of God’s Word to a society whose spiritual and moral foundation is crumbling. The only hope for our nation is for us to pray, seek God’s face, and stand firm on His Word. Through the Decision America Tour, we will visit your state capital to pray fervently for our nation. Will you join us in this effort?” 

Let’s make corporate prayer at the State Capitol and with our Church Family a high priority and watch God do something extraordinary as He leverages the prayers of His people into a far-reaching Spiritual Awakening!
