The Call - Nashville
 

Anyone going to The Call this weekend? They are expecting 100,000 people. CC1??? Pianoman???? My daughter went to the pre-service Sunday night at Christ Church and they had like 3-4 hours of intense Praise & Worship. She said it was the most powerful thing she had ever been in and God spoke some things clearly to her in that meeting. I am going with a lady from my church who is 65 and is the most on-fire intercessor I've ever been around.

The Call is a gathering of people (mostly young people) from all over the nation, converging on Nashville to take back in prayer what the enemy has stolen from America. It is forty years from when prayer was banned from school, I think, and what they consider the start of the moral decay. It will be on 7-7-07, which I think is very crucial.

A girl from my work is going to The Call. She's pretty excited about it.

I am sure it will be an explosion of the Holy Spirit. I can not wait to hear the great stories of what God does.

Not to be sarcastic. What are you planning to take back? Also, why is the date important?

I leave on vacation Friday afternoon but ironically enough we have friends of my wife from Mississippi coming to go to it and they are going to stay in our house this weekend while we are gone.

It was advertised at church Sunday with a video clip. I hope it is a success!!

Excellent question... I was thinking of raising it myself but I figured I would be thought rude, sarcastic, trying to be smart alec etc.

Also... on the date... doesn't that ring of numerology for the date 07-07-07 to be important?

Just questions...

probably because 7 is perfection...will wait for the answer...

I am not answering someone else´s question but the devil has stole much from the church...I heard a young person here in Brazil say earlier today, "the devil stole a lot of things from me and took up a lot of my time but now since I made a decision to really serve the Lord I am working overtime for Jesus"

Maybe that is the cry of many...in both liberal and conservative ranks...

Apparently no one watched Steve Munsey lastnight on tv, or anyother night either.

Who is Steve Munsey?

You don´t know who Steve Munsey is or are you joking?

Sure don't make a habit of it. Not enough Pepsid in the world.....

:sshhh I don't know who he is either.

I'll probably be there! :party

He is very good most of the time. Sometimes he is too much, but he is anointed. Also, he talked about how he was raised in a strict environment no tv until he was thirty and he did not go to a movie until he was older too, etc. I was like a breath of free air. He was not real critical, though he did say that kinda stuff is of a religious spirit and a religious spirit killed Jesus. :shockamoo

Steve Munsey is the son of Frank Munsey. Brother Frank Munsey was the one who baptized my husbands familiy in Jesus name many years ago. At that time Brother Munsey was UPCI...I haven´t heard from the Munsey´s for years but in times past visited in our home. Sister Munsey had several "records" ...my that was moons ago...His parents were wonderful people. I don´t know if they are alive maybe someone more informed could tell us.
The part about Steve I will leave to those who watch him on Television. I know very little about Steve other than hearsay...so I cannot say.

Thank you...

Now we are more informed.

I am going to be in Murfreesboro this weekend.
Tell me more about it, I may be able to get to Nashville for it.

Time and location, mainly.

Both Frank and Ruth Munsey are alive. Steve is a very progressive pastor. He took over the church about 20 yrs ago and sometime after that took them out of the UPCI. They accually run close to 15k now Steve says. They have 4 Sunday services that have about 3500 people at a time per service. It is an amazing church.

His parens are precious people and we love them very much. thanks for update.

It's at the Titan's Stadium and starts with a Repentance Walk at 7 AM on Saturday, but we're not going to make that. My daughter is walking it though. Then the praise & worship; prayer, etc. starts I think at 10, but the doors are opening at 8 AM.

They are hoping to take back morality and Godly living through intense prayer, since the past forty years have been a steady downhill slope of decay. It is going to be the largest gathering like this in America, I guess. They are focusing on repentance and a call to holiness. There is going to be special prayer against the homosexual agenda that has taken root.

The date 7/7/07 is special because 7 was always God's number of perfection and completion. Numbers were very important to God, always have been.

Steve was only 6 months old when they went to Hammond, Indiana, to start the church. Mom and I practically raised him, Joe and Philip.
Last time we were in Hammond, Frank was still there and Steve was trying to get on the payroll and get his dad to retire. I guess he finally succeeded.
Sis. Munsey just celebrated her 75th birthday recently. They still have a school in Belarus or Belize - or somewhere. They go back and forth between there and Munster - at least they still were a few months ago.
I still have some of Sis. Munsey's records, along with a host of others from ancient times. A lot of memories from the old Evangelistic Temple.

I wonder if they named it "The Call" to try and get women motivated to attend?

Who Went?? Was anything taken back???


Inquiring minds want to know............ :D

07/07/07 has not happened yet. Today is the 5th!! :sshhh

I'm going Saturday! I'll let you know what happened.

I'm going to play the lottery on that day! :slaphappy

*ahem* I have a great idea and I need some seed $$$, he he! J/K

Since we don't believe in associating with those who believe in "another God" we are not going to this charismatic event.

Instead we are leaving town. In fact leaving the state.

However we are letting some poor deluded souls from Mississippi coming over for the event stay at our home while we are gone.

Does God use the calendar we use today? :D

I just found out that we might get to sit in a private box at the event. Woohoo!!! Air conditioning! I don't do well in the heat all day long. We have some friends of friends that have a box that they are probably going to let us use Saturday.

I think it's going to be a very powerful event and I can't wait!:yahoo

I don't know whether that person was serious or joking, but I don't know who Steve Munsey is.

Consider yourself a lucky man.

The Call will be broadcast live on godtv, in case anyone wants to see it. CC1, you can witness live how the crazy Charismatics do church!!:slaphappy

I just got home from The Call. I got to stay for six hours of the service. It was lasting for 12 hours, with NO BREAKS! Talk about commitment; these guys are hard core!! It was amazing and the worship was so powerful. They had corporate repentance for all the sins of this past generation since the 1967 Summer of Love, when the hippie movement really took off. Repentance over sexual sin, pornography, homosexuality, racism, abortion, and much more. There were powerful prophecies that went forth about our nation.

Whether you agree with them doctrinally or not, it was powerful to see tens of thousands of people on their faces weeping in repentance before a holy God. I feel like there were strongholds broken over our nation today.

The downside of it was the HEAT!! We sat in the 85-90 degree heat for six hours. We kept going out and buying water, but it was $3 per bottle (stadium rules). But people were dancing and shouting all over the place anyway. It made me wish I was twenty again.

I'm sure we'll see a significant change.

A significant change nationally?
Maybe, maybe not.
But, hopefully there will be changes for the better, maybe even significant changes, in those that went and participated. If all those folks change things in their lives, it's got to have an impact in their families, churches, etc locally.

By the way, a couple of days ago, I read the chapter about your Dad on the "Pentecostal History" DVD from PPH.

Anybody remember Promise Keepers? I only went to one of the meetings. It was on a Friday night and then Saturday daytime services at our Cincinnati Reds stadium in Cincinnati. There was just something awesome about being in a group of 40 thousand or so men all singing and worshiping God. We heard some good messages. Lots of guys went forward to invite Jesus into their lives or maybe to rededicate themselves to the Lord. Things like this may not make a national impact but I'm sure lives were improved, marriages were improved, habits were broken, and local churches benefited by getting some new members or having some of their members becoming more active.
