CRY OUT AMERICA:Â SUNDAY, 9/11/2016
Across America churches are encouraged to use this day to truly cry out to God in Solemn Assembly, a day of humbling ourselves, repenting and crying out to God for mercy. Solemn Assemblies were called in biblical times when things were not going well in the nation. Joel 2 verse 15 blows the trumpet in Zion; consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people. Consecrate the congregation. This was done when the leaders sensed they were in trouble and might be under the discipline/judgement of God. In our life time we have never seen a time like this in America. Now is a time for leaders to call the people together in humility and crying out to God for mercy. September 11 gives us an occasion to do that. For the last 2 years we have done this at the Southern Baptist Convention. For more information and guidelines for a Solemn Assembly you can go to awakeningamerica.us. Claude King has info on this as well as Fresh Encounter by Henry Blackaby. What would it be like if all of Georgia cried out to God together?
